This is an interesting observation! If you follow that train of thought, it might be possible for there to be a situation where in the United States, you can trade one dollar for .8 Euros, and in Europe, you trade one Euro for .8 dollars. In that case there is no single number for exchange rate. This could be the case because in order to spend your US dollars from Europe, you would have to travel to the USA, buy something, and then import it back, and vica versa. So how do exchanges quote a single number for exchange rate?
Your medical info. Other people's medical information at universities during these years might indicate pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, TB, genealogy and an number of things more embarrassing than a simple nude photograph.
They'll need rudimentary routing capability with the laser link system so I wouldn't say there is no routing at all.
Seems like a stretch. The person interacting with the hardware need not know or care about the software. Under that same logic I think you could:

(1) Buy an alarm clock with an embedded chip

(2) Contained in the packaging was a link to a license agreement. You never read it and certainly didn't agree to it.

(3) A year later, weekday alarms are remotely disabled because you've used up your free trial. The license specifies $3/mo as the rate to continue being woken up on weekdays.

Courts are already not upholding a lot of this "reading this ToS constitutes agreement to all future versions" bullshit in modern software, and I doubt they'd be friendly to the idea that somebody can be beholden to a contract they had no good reason to even know about.
Yeah... no thanks. If I'm one of those nations, China is one of the threats I'm worried about. You don't ask the fox to guard the henhouse.
take it with two tablespoons of salt if someone who avoids the onboard ping tool claims there are no ill effect of blocking all network connections of OS components except DHCP and NTP. This recommendation will cripple windows features and your enjoyment may vary. (breaking updates, breaking crls, breaking active directory integration, breaking office integration, breaking push notifications, breaking companion app integration, ... and so on)
Regarding the template letter idea, I would advise anyone thinking of doing this to consult with an attorney. The facts and applicable law may be different in your situation and the letter will undoubtably carry more weight if it's backed the the threat of actual litigation.
I question the bias of your sample. Almost every one I've known who possesses any self-taught coding knowledge has gotten there specifically because they don't buy the "wage slavery" narrative and wanted a valuable skill. I'm from a very low income community and family so I imagine that if the type of person you're claiming exists were so predominant I'd have run into at least a few of them.
Teslas aren't really a weird spec. In general they correspond to a better level of detail, which could be necessary for certain imaging/conditions.
Why then is 'Stripe?' 'using' them for payments and not for speculation? [0]

The BBC is one of the few public-type institutions where it enjoys a certain level of independence from the government, since it's mostly funded by the viewers [1]. No matter what you think about the content they produce or the License Fee, this model is vastly different compared to most if not all public broadcasters where the government funds the operation and thus has powers to turn them into propaganda machines. Hungary is a case in point [2].

This government has successfully sabotaged this delicate independence.

>Having just gone through all of this (two years ago), it isn’t “hard”, you just have to stop assuming it’s easy and will only take a bit.

So it isn't hard - it's just not easy and it's time consuming. Wait, what?
"Just" sending it overseas to be coded is more likely to end in failure than success, unless you have a lot of experience and know what the pitfalls are (which is a very expensive education). I'm not picking on developing countries; the same goes for big enterprise contractor providers in the U.S. They have no incentive to write stable, maintainable code. Their incentive is to make it just stable enough to not get sued and get it out the door as quickly as possible. An employee that will have to live with that code for several years will focus on maintainability purely out of self interest if nothing else. As to whether overseas firms are able to undercut domestic firms, it's a possibility, but anyone that has dealt with time zone issues and cultural barriers most likely knows what they are sacrificing to get that discounted rate.

I would argue probably not. GaN has a higher bandgap voltage (3eV iirc... 1eV for Silicon), which means a CPU would need to be run at a higher voltage.

As a quick rule of thumb for huge transistor count ICs:
Power (heat) = freq*Voltage^2

I won't go into detail, but you can see how for a CPU designer decreasing voltage is critical to increasing speed. Remember a decade ago when CPUs were like 1.2V and we hit this ~3GHz "wall"? But now due to breakthroughs in process nodes, CPUs are running I think ~0.8V but boosting up to 5GHz.

If we make the same CPU on a GaN process, the transistors would probably need ~3V to switch, and thus need to be run about 9x slower to meet the same package power (or I guess you could run it at the same speed but then try and figure out how to cool a 9x higher TDP CPU).

Furthermore, GaN is difficult to manufacture into a monocrystaline perfect lattice compared to Silicon. You can image that for modern 7nm/5nm nodes, where there are sometimes angstroms of distance in a transistor, having a foundation full of defects can be devastating to the yield.

Power electronics is a totally different domain with different challenges. In this area GaN excels, but for ICs I don't think it makes sense. Let's see in 20 years though. GaN is relatively new compared to Silicon and might just need some further refinement.

Just my 2c though. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
It's not crap. It's informative & interesting & useful to think of the energy flows embodied in our material world.
Over 20 years ago now Australian Personal Computer published a pocket book all about Red Hat with an installation CD as part of the book.

At the time I think we we still on 28.8k dial up, so apart from the overall consistency of the unix style "everything is a file" approach, I remembered that the packets flowed noticeably faster (less gaps in between) than on Windows. I was sold.

My father is a mathematician who has taught computing and math at high school, tech and university level and he has never owned a computer, in over well 25 years of personal computer ownership, with a windows operating system installed.

For years his favorite linux was Sabayon, for the effortless connectivity to devices, local and networked, followed by Puppy because of the load to ram performance on older PCs.

Same goes somewhat for home prices going up, but if you don't live in a booming tech city it might not hold true. I'm in one, my house is 4x in under 20 years. My payment was so huge when I got it, now it isn't so crazy.
To be clear, my systemd has turned into some kind of rogue build killer daemon and my decision to end its misery feels quite justified too.

So, you're definitely right- go to someone with actual medical training first. But a physical therapist's job is to get people back to basic functioning. From there, a good fitness instructor can help a person with stretching, light exercise and strength training, and stuff like posture/positioning and meal planning to maintain and improve on the initial work put in with the PT. A fitness instructor/coach is a fraction of the cost of a PT, and if you maintain a good relationship, you can just kind if drop in for guidance as needed vs going to weekly dedicated sessions.

But yeah, they can be literally anyone. A good one understands simple (bio)machines and pays close attention to how a body moves AND is a good teacher.

Edit: "A PT will get you to functional, a fitness instructor will get you to capable"
At 48v you can use much smaller gauge wire than at 12v. Which means lower cost, less weight and a smaller footprint for your wire harnesses.

One of the things that can “get you” with these higher voltage systems is you can’t use them to jumpstart the present majority of cars. While I’ve yet to actually see a higher voltage car, I would hope they’d put warnings by the battery to remind the user that “hey, don’t try to jumpstart your friends car with this battery!”
I came here for magic tricks and was disappointed.

It's OK, let them have their unions. I went self-employed a decade ago and it's been far better anyways. The crappy union jobs can exist and we can still enjoy our pay advantage.

If anything it might be advantageous because companies might prefer working with freelancers anyways. More opportunity.
Thanks for asking. Been a tough couple of weeks.

I feel like there’s levels to it.

I mean people drink heavily while chastising smoking (both are bad) but there are people who are social drinkers or smokers. I’m not so sure that smoking one or two cigarettes per week or a month is that bad, I mean obviously the best is to not smoke. But only 30% of people get addicted to nicotine.

I guess all I’m trying to say is that life is finite anyway and nothing beats going to the top of a mountain and lighting up a smoke whether it’s a joint or a cig. Just don’t abuse it like anything else.
I played around with vapes for a bit, and I found them to be way more compulsive and addictive than traditional cigarettes. Had to give them up completely. Just typing that out really makes me want to vape.

(Vs having been a cig smoker for years, now just socially, and I can easily moderate to whatever level of consumption I want, w/o cravings. Not so w/ the vapes!)

The form factor and mounting design of the power supply are not parts of the ATX spec. The pin layout & shape, voltages, signaling, etc are what are specified.

This is an ATX power supply. It is just designed for very small cases that would never be able to accommodate the existing standard configurations.
Inflation is a monthly/annual measure (at least insofar as most economists are interested in it). Looking at monthly spend is the fair comparison.

You're bringing up an important point about buyers often left unaware of their total outlay, but on the flip side, their home is usually an appreciable asset, they are free to re-fi, and they also get to deduct mortgage interest.
Because it is not clear to me.

Fed was aggressively printing starting 2008, and we didn't observe much inflation, meaning those money didn't go to real economy, but went to some big investment speculations and real estate.
Here too, it's only 'cable' that's not so common or perhaps not available here any more. I don't know why really but was never as popular here even for TV I don't think, mostly either satellite or not.

Also 4G/5G is a relatively popular choice here. And Starlink an option to both of us.
Certainly there's plenty of hype and herd behavior in this industry, but underlying this is a simple desire: don't allow users to give their passwords to a third party. Or rather, they can do that but the third party won't be able to authenticate because they don't have the smart card or 2FA dongle.

Often there is a requirement in commercial contracts requiring adherence to certain security standards. An example of such a contract is liability insurance.
I remember some people predicting Slack to be 'an email killer'. I never thought about it that way. However, with Google Wave, I was practically sure it will somehow replace emails.

One of the most surprising 'departures' imho. :-)
Considering that systemd-oomd as shipped by Ubuntu is happy to start gunning processes when there are upwards of 10 GB of free memory on the system, I think those complaints are entirely justified. This is hardly the only instance of some systemd appendage presumptuously doing something obnoxious or destructive.
It's not so great for people who don't see themselves only as consumers of a service. It's not a simple linear change.
Depends on the type of machine/imaging to be done. For MRIs, you typically want higher Tesla values for better detail. There are also other types of imaging tech too like DTI or functional MRIs depending on what you want to look at.
The characters signing in with their unique splash screens at NYC pay phones in the movie Hackers was quite cool to 12 year old me.

That is a great suggestion. SSO starter content is in the works including product integration guides.

It is a nodejs service (or can be embedded as an npm). We are looking at potentially supporting other languages but for now our customers are happy deploying it as a separate service.

The core version is completely free to use (Apache 2.0), we already have paying self-hosted customers who are paying a monthly subscription fee. We'll be introducing a paid hosted version later and premium features for the self-hosted version.

You have missed the point of Bitcoin. It's not just a payment network, it's a completely new type of money. It can't be inflated, it can't be taken away from you, and no one can stop anyone from using it. It's the opposite of our current, inflationary and centrally controlled money. Bitcoin can take away these authoritarian and repressive powers from governments and central banks.

It's not really possible to understand Bitcoin if you don't know how broken our current money is and how much damage it has caused.

That's fair, I should have kept constrainig my statements to GPLed code. That being said, Microsoft complied with all of the license terms of that stack (basically shipping a copyright notice and constraining themselves on how they advertise it's use). If it was a GPLed stack and they never published source, I'd be saying the same thing about them that I'm saying now about VMware.
I live in a very unionized country (Uruguay) which has heavily contributed to the issue of having an oversized state, leading to one of the highest costs of living in South America and the abuse of unions as a tool to push political agendas completely unrelated to the industry work they're supposed to fight for.

As an example, reading US Twitter these last few weeks for me has been a tragicomical affair, seeing people constantly complain about gas prices that are still cheaper than what we've been paying for forever because unions have made it impossible to eliminate their legal monopoly and reduce the size of our nigh-unproductive national refinery, despite it being cheaper to just import the final product. And it gets even better/worse after you account for our actual incomes.

There are good unions out there doing good work, or in more pragmatic/realistic terms: having a net positive effect. But mindlessly setting targets such as "Every worker in XYZ should be unionized" lacks a historical and/or global perspective and can only be considered wildly ignorant of the trade-offs, or willfully misleading.

There's space in tools like Godot, which has a relatively stable API, tight and helpful integration with its custom scripting language as well as support for both C# and C++, solid docs, first-class support for 2D, the ability to export to mobile as well as web and desktop, and the ability to toggle between a continuous rendering mode suitable for games and a reactive rendering mode more suitable for apps.

GameMaker, too, has a very stable API for its proprietary scripting language and, though it is made with 2D gamedev in mind, can work just fine for simple apps for personal use.

Defold is worth mentioning as well
If the user is bottoming out on orings, then he might as well use a rubber dome keyboard. There is almost no benefit to using a mechanical keyboard if the user is bottoming out.

There are some terrific rubber dome keyboards. I actually use one occasionally as I like to rotate my equipment, to fend off the R in RSI.
> The reality is quite different. Income, I believe, is determined not by productivity, but instead largely by rank within a hierarchy. In other words, power begets income. The role of economics is to deny this uncomfortable reality. Economists reinforce hierarchies by denying their existence.

My first impression was that the author was referring to people who are "popular" or "well-connected" when he was talking about hierarchy. But it seems what he is really talking about, is the corporate ladder. Ie, people higher up the ladder get paid more on average. Which seems very non-controversial - people climb up the ladder by accumulating promotions, which comes attached with pay increases.

I haven't come across any economist who denies this. From a productivity perspective, an economist would argue that a firm's productivity is impacted more by a good (or bad) director/VP/SVP/CEO, as opposed to a single good individual contributor. Hence why people higher up the ladder get paid more. This sounds very reasonable to me, and I've yet to meet anyone who thinks that the average individual contributor has more impact than the average SVP.

What would be more interesting is determining the traits that most impact the corporate hierarchy. Is it IQ, EQ, and hard work? Or is it height, good looks, and family connections? Economic theory would predict that the former plays a bigger role, and I would wager that as well. If the author has data demonstrating that the latter actually plays a bigger role, that would be a more interesting topic of discussion.
The discovery experience is terrible. There’s a feed of recent comments, but the largest and most noticeable piece of content is the podcast artwork, not the comment text (and the layout feels a bit unintuitive). To find podcasts, I would need to manually copy all podcast names into the (very slow) search box. And then most of them would have 0 comments, since the service is new, or my podcast taste is niche. It might be better to have a list of shows, sorted by comment count (or otherwise popularity on your site).
What even is the point of "decentralization" when the intent is to have a central fiat authority (the airline in question), and typically forbid transactions (using only one's own points, etc)?
DOD 100% gives performance benefits. The problem becomes some people acting like that is the ONLY benefit, which is why you see more and more pro DOD people trying to make the other benefits clear so that people will stop thinking it is ONLY an optimization technique, because then people who aren't as worried about blazing fast performance will still consider it in case the other benefits help their problem case.
Lately, I've been wanting to explore the DOD pattern in the world of full-stack web development to see if there would be similar benefits. Might put together a proof-of-concept this weekend!

Has anyone else explored this?

I've been struggling with a problem for a few days that I think this might be great for. I'm trying to figure out how many AVX multiply-accumulate ops (vfmadd231ps) are being executed for a particular workload so I can compare two different implementations (going a bit deeper: I'm trying to figure out why there are substantial performance differences between two programs. Is it because one of them is doing a lot more multiply-accumulates (expensive ops) or is is because one is just much more cache efficient). I've got assembler for both, but one of them is macro-assembler so it's tough to actually reason about how many of these ops are being run.
I assume that's the point they're making. With relatively recent tax law changes, it no longer makes sense for a lot of people to itemize--and if you don't itemize, you don't get a break on your mortgage.
>in many cities that's all there is because all of the city was restructured/bulldozed to meet this preference.

This is just not true. Stop projecting west coast and southeast urban planning onto the entire country. In vast swaths of the midwest and northeast the overwhelming majority of the 20th century suburb development was purely additive.
