It does. Imagine a one pixel wide vertical white line on black background. As you downscale it, by whatever reasonable means, the line becomes a darker and darker grey.

EDIT: This is in the context of the image shown in the article, which is a gradient image consisting in light lines over black background. Of course, if you have thin black lines on white background, they will become ligter upon downscaling. In practice, on a real image, some parts will become darker and others lighter, depending on their particular textures.
I am a bit sad to see this as I was excited about CNN's library of excellent documentaries and past shows such as Parts Unknown and The Wonder List etc being available on CNN+. I also liked Chris Wallace's interviews with various personalities. I just hope that CNN+ content can be available when WB+Discovery(+CNN?) service launches.
Great video here talking about the name of one chord in the intro to Stairway To Heaven. Three different youtubers chime in to discuss it. Really shows how much nuance there can be and how ambiguous the naming can be. There was no real consensus. One of the suggestions was "a minor major nine" and another was "e seven flat thirteen over g sharp".

The standard deduction for California did not change, unlike the temporary change on the federal side enacted for 8 years beginning with 2018. Also CA did not change the limits on the amount and type of loan interest that is deductible.

Since California by many measures is large enough to equate to a "country", It would be fair to add it to the list of places where primary residence (and a second home too) mortgage interest is largely deductible.

This might sound weird but I think the audience they're targeting the high price is part of the enjoyment. There is a weight, status and a value to an expensive item.

I work in hardware so understand the costs involved but I also think the high price is beneficial to them from a brand perspective. Brand-wise the amount of buzz they generate from relatively niche products is impressive.

What ever happened to 'pivoting' rather than giving up and throwing in the towel?

I don't think any investors would be happy with projects just giving up and losing their money like what had happened to Quibi. The difference is, that the raised money for Quibi was returned back and CNN+ lost. it. all.

Totally giving up even after what happened to Quibi is inexcusable for CNN. It means that they have not learned anything and have admitted to repeating the same mistakes they did and lost more money and shut down quicker than Quibi.

Now they are part of list of the worst launch failures in history. Oh dear.

I'm going through old stuff in preparation for a move and you wouldn't believe how many USB-A wall warts I've got shoved in the bottoms of boxes and drawers. IMO they should have kept it included for ~3 years of the USB-C transition because now people get a USB-C cable but only have old USB-A chargers, but long term I think it's the right move to stop including chargers with every new device.

You can go on Amazon and get a multi-port USB-C + 3x USB-A charger with 60W power delivery support for $22 [1]. I've been using a pair of these for years (one under my desk, one behind my nightstand) and they're really nice for charging multiple devices than the individual wall warts. Phone, laptop/tablet, headphones, watch, power banks. I like it a lot better than a power strip with four separate wall warts plugged in next to each other.

Spot on. Their target is rich people who like sleek "different" design and are willing to pay a big premium for that.
Well, that raises a question. Are 120 million Russians upset merely because Russian speaking children in Ukraine will be educated in Ukrainian (while still enjoying the legally guaranteed ability to learn Russian in school)? That seems implausible to me, and not consistent with the Russian media I've seen. I think most of the Russians in support of the war think that much worse things are happening than that. What's your sense?

Cultural repression is a matter of degree, of course, and I'm a bit cautious about making pronouncements about what is serious and what is not. But I'll put it this way: on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is "no problem" and 10 is "special military operation," I'd rate the level of repression we've been discussing in this thread far closer to a 1 than a 10.

And, of course, we haven't discussed the fact that part of the justification for the Ukrainian language laws has been to undo decades of de-Ukrainianization at the hands of the Soviet Union. It's hard to say how to actually weigh these competing interests, so I won't try. But it is certainly there.
Hm, I may be wrong here (it's been over a decade...) but I remember Sourceforge being more about the code (in a simplified, VCS-style distribution directory which may have, but often did not have binaries), and Freshmeat being all about installable packaged software.

That's because China can launch anti-ship missiles from any Chinese highway to threaten US Carriers.

In contrast, the weapon-platforms of Taiwan / US Navy are simply more constrained. Sure, US Destroyers / Cruisers are good missile platforms and US Aircraft Carriers / F35 fighters are also good delivery mechanisms for anti-ship missiles...

But China has the advantage of land-based missiles, land-based air force, AND sea-based naval forces to triple-team up against the US Navy.

-------

Chinese Carriers hanging around the Straight of Taiwan and hugging their coastline (under protective cover of Chinese missile-forces / Chinese air-forces) is the expectation.

We're not concerned about Chinese Carriers trying to say, attack Hawaii (which would be the opposite situation: US Air Force supporting US Navy in defense). The near-term threat is the gross geographical advantages of the China-Taiwan fight.

There's a mild expectation that if a Chinese / Taiwan fight were to occur, US Marines might be forced to make landings in the Chinese mainland to destroy Chinese land-based missile forces and even the odds.
Spending a quarter of a billion dollars to fail this bad so quickly is not trying; it is gross incompetence.
Exactly this. Everyone here is acting as though CNN+ was a failure as a product, when the real issue is that, in the context of the Warner Media Discovery entity, the new management no longer feels that product is aligned with their corporate strategy.

I think we can expect a lot more of this kind of trimming as the combined organization continues to remove redundant services and programming, etc.
Again, I don't think German is exceptional in this regard: we have English "catbird" (so called for its call), "bush baby" (for a small primate which is not a baby), "lady finger" (a regional name for okra), "buttercup" (a kind of flower), "kangaroo paw" (a kind of flower), etc.

I'd be pretty shocked if a German speaker thought a tortoise had a Schild or really was a Kroete, in the same way I'd be shocked if an English speaker said that a bush baby was an actual baby. Non-compositional noun compounds occur in both languages.

Yes. There have been multiple front-page news articles in the NY Times in the past month about people getting spam texts from themselves. The fact that caller ID is unreliable is part of the public discourse today.

FWIW, I had to answer the phone at my first office job in ~2005, and the office manual has a section on how caller ID was not trustworthy caller authentication. None of this is new, and it is odd that a self-described security engineer would blindly trust caller ID.

The only news that sells IS partisan trash. We can all call out the "other side" for their trash politics, that's very easy [0]. At the same time, there is no reason to believe that a "both sides" debate is going to be fruitful.

CNN is "team sports" politics. They want people to root for their own team and they want to cover politics like teams scoring points.

I think it's very easy to say that American Politics are very broken, and seem to only become more so. Saying outrageous things is a winning strategy right now. I see two counters to this:

1. Deep Conversations. Sound bytes and social media memes can be very motivating, but cannot help people understand real human experience. Only deep conversations in small groups can really do that. Some long form media can also do this. Unfortunately deep conversations don't sell well and they don't scale well.

2. Acknowledging the real human experiences that inform people's outlook. Every controversy has preset entrenched talking points. I'm not going to bring up an example here, because then the replies would only be about the example. But you can imagine any of the identity politics lightning rods, and you can think of the main talking points. The surface level of these arguments is so well worn and smoothed over that it's hard to remember that people have real experiences related to their point of view, and it's very easy to vilify people who don't agree. Again, it takes real effort to understand where someone else comes from and to disagree with them without invalidating their experiences and feelings. This doesn't sell, and this doesn't scale. No political party rewards this kind of work.

But yes, Fuck the Communist News Network. That's an easy meme to spread.

> It really isn't if the coupon rate is below inflation

It's a liability in the amount of the balance. I suppose you could consider the present value of the “income” stream of the difference between inflation and interest over the life of the loan as an asset, but unless it's a very unusual loan, any income stream of that kind is likely to be a transitory effect, and interest is likely to be be a real as well as nominal expense considered over the life of the loan.

I agree that the slant is intentional, but it's not clear to me that the slant comes as a result of the preferred arm position (it seems equally likely the arm position was chosen because it results in the desired slant).

As you might be aware, arm position and use in serious calligraphy is a far more thoughtfully and intentionally designed process than I ever would have imagined. A major component of Spencerian technique involves resting the right forearm on the left palm (I think I have that right, I'm not actually one who does Spencerian writing) in order to use the flesh of the forearm as a linear bearing driven by the shoulder muscles and constrained by the left palm as a means of achieving a more repeatable and predictable translation motion than can be achieved with simple proprioception based motor control.

> And were those 10 bit per color in hardware?

Yes

> I would be surprised if nobody had made yet (professional ?) non-CRT PC monitors capable of more than 256 values discrimination ?! (Not even Apple ?!? Or at least some super-expensive, but still commercial (= non-experimental) displays ?)

They exist, but it's limited to the high-end. E.g. Apple's XDR display has a 10-bit panel and FALD.

Reference-class monitors are generally of the "dual film" type, which essentially means that the panel is two LCDs on top of each other, one being used to control only brightness of a given pixel, and the other for brightness and color.

> (Though it's still not clear to me why more displays aren't using the standard (at least in Charge Coupled Devices) 2x2 Bayer Filter with double green, rather than a 3x1 one ? Too much reliance on Windows' ClearType hack working properly ? But why in TVs too ??)

Non-standard pixel layouts are common in OLEDs, e.g. RGBW, weird pyramids and un-even subpixel sizes (I'm assuming due to differing phosphor efficiencies). These all lead to poor text and UI clarity, as one would expect. (It's worth pointing out that OLEDs, being LEDs at their heart, have inherently lacking linearity which is why most of their brightness range is covered by digital modulation)

RGB subpixels require the fewest number of subpixels, which also means reduced brightness loss due to LCD structures. Going to Bayer would mean 33 % more pixels for the same display, except it's dimmer (increasing pixel pitch by 50 % horizontally does not make up for halving it vertically), more expensive to make and also dimmer because now you have two green dots per pixel, so they need to be half as bright, throwing away more of the backlight, and the drivers now need to perform with inhomogenous pixels -- without an obvious upside.

The reason color camera sensors tend to use Bayer filters is - I think - because green contributes most to perceived brightness, so doubling the sensor area for green means halving green's contribution to luma noise. This problem does not exist in displays.
Sure, but the manufacturers presumably play for licenses for the AMD AGESA, etc. so could pay for a NTFS license if they wanted to.

And ext has plenty of documentation and they haven't implemented that either.

So I think keeping down the software complexity is the more likely method. Down to

1. The limited software investment these companies make (often just buying and reskinning firmware from AMI)

2. The limited space available on the ROMs due to hardware cost savings (e.g. companies have had to drop GUIs or support for less popular APUs to add support for new generations of mainstream CPU in firmware updates)

I don't know how it works there, but my bank's fraud alert call is automated and exactly the same every time.

Do banks do that there? Mine won't make any kind of account changes unless I show up in person with ID.

Barry couldn’t use my card to buy anything online because my bank sends me a one-time verification code whenever I use the card on a new website.

This is great. All banks should do that.

But we do have evidence that the things in the Bible are true. However, to appreciate the kind evidence offered requires a change in mindset. If you are looking for mathematical proof, you are not going to find it. But there are many things about which we can gain knowledge with a heuristic approach, not a hard algorithmic one.

If you approach things with an open mind and consider the witness of people who witnessed the events, the agreement with known scientific facts, the satisfying answers given to the deep questions of life, and the sound advice given regarding practical aspects of life which works, then the logical conclusion is that the Bible contains accurate information that comes from a higher source, God.

But these things have been politicized. It is anathema for most scientists (and people who follow the science and think they know so much) to admit the limits of the simplistic scientific method that they follow.
