I have no idea of what you mean by "a shipment of ammonia". 24 hour sunlight does not work to make solar power viable in Finland, because that extra production happens exactly when there is least need for electricity, and there is no economical way to store that energy for consumption 7 months later.

Basically nobody builds solar power in Finland. It's about 0.3% of the electricity production (while renewables as a whole are more than 50%). That's the reality. Your idea that the summer nights would somehow make it economical is an uninformed fairy tale.

The fact that you think you even need to defend yourself is a sign that there's something deeply wrong with where you live.

The first step would be to somehow fix that. Make everyone feel safe enough so they don't feel the need to have a gun to defend themselves.
Sounds good. I'll just be over here making my 1.5 caliber anti material machine gun in my backyard strictly for personal non-commercial usage on private property.
-That depends on how you use them; this is a people problem, not a tech problem, as you (IMHO) correctly observe.

If you use the voting machines to keep a running tally of votes cast so results are available immediately after polls close, you have already gotten a large benefit from them.

However, to ensure the (most warranted!) concern of the electorate that the votes are not being tampered with, the machine should also print a receipt to the voter after his/her vote is cast, in a human-readable format, which is then deposited in an urn much like today.

So - you get instant results, and if the result is challenged, you can audit the actual ballots rather than just doing a code audit and hoping the numbers haven't been tampered with in some undetectable way.

Eventually, a neural-net approach to video codecs is inevitable, as including high-level semantics is much more dense. I wonder about a few things though:

• How much of the 8.7MB of the app are the weights?

• Did you measure the energy consumption difference between this and H265? Especially considering Apple has hardware acceleration for this.

• Do you plan for a Web port as well?

• Is the performance envelope tied to CoreML, or has the Android version already been confirmed to have the same performance even without a Tensor chip?

• Do you have plans to address the enterprise market? How many participants could you scale to?

(I don’t think any of this would be a fundamental issue, but it could help frame the target market. Maybe phone conversations are not as marketable because of the limited battery, but daily team meetings with ~10 people could have adoption if a few features were added.)
Yes. I’m using a couple of Marathon mice (with 3+ year battery life), and a G700 mouse. All of them are working as intended.

G700 carries its settings on board, so all profiles are working completely with any OS. There was no customization software on Linux when I bought it, but that side also improved with Logitech tool and other projects over the years. G710+ has an out of tree driver, but I didn’t compile it due to laziness.

Logitech is the first company to support UVC class for webcams to enable Linux support. Also they’re the only HID company which supports Linux firmware update daemon as far as I know.

So your perception is not completely correct from my vantage point.
The small chunk of land north-west of Istanbul is considered part of Europe. The rest is Asia.
It's much worse than that, the CPU is stuck in the real world which is obliged to obey Mother Nature's laws despite the fact - especially at that scale - we find them unintuitive. The abstract machine can have intuitive behaviour because we choose how it works, a real machine not so much.

For example, humans behave as though "universal time" is a thing, even if they know intellectually that this isn't so. The CPU has no choice though, there is and can only be local time. Events definitely happen in order locally but with no larger coherency. So if you have two CPU cores, those aren't the same location and they necessarily don't experience the same time.

When writing a program with concurrency (e.g. threads), your C compiler emits machine code which, based on the author's understanding of the CPU documentation, will perform the necessary dance if you expressed that's what you wanted so that it seems there's a larger coherent sense of time. This is called Sequential Consistency. If you forgot to express that properly or you get it wrong, the C standard says your program has "Undefined Behaviour" because the machine code emitted does something which makes sense locally to each CPU core but may not make any sense to you at all. In general humans cannot reason successfully about what their program does in this situation anyway, it's just a complete head fuck, so the C decision to mark this "Undefined behaviour", anything could happen, is actually a reasonable one.
This is the wrong decision, and the community reaction should be highlighting this to Mirantis. I'm genuinely really disappointed as a Lens user and contributor.

I knew this was going to be about or by KEF from the title.

This is the link to the paper: https://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=20758

These are speakers with this: https://uk.kef.com/pages/ls50-meta

And this is the marketing page for the same item as the paper covers: https://uk.kef.com/pages/metamaterial

I listened to these speakers... they are good. But I didn't find them "better" than others I listened to in my room (I home auditioned quite a few speaker pairs), a bit too crisp, cold and surgical. That was likely nothing to do with the metamaterial absorption and probably more to do with the way the electronics inside worked. YMMV, listen to them to find out.

In the end for me, I opted for far more traditional speakers: near field I have some PSI Audio studio monitors ( https://www.psiaudio.swiss/ ), and for the larger room some Tannoy Eatons ( https://www.tannoy.com/product.html?modelCode=P0DEL ). I do have some recent KEFs, but they're for the kitchen radio(!).

I would be far more interested in this material and approach being taken out of loudspeakers and implemented in transport modes that have high background noise, or in baffles in concert halls (or even cafes!).

I was born in the US to Italian immigrants - so I don't particularly feel it's just "US reasoning". We didn't live in the greatest neighborhood growing up (about 2-3 miles from where the Buffalo Tops grocery store shooting occurred.) My father had a .22 caliber rifle. One late night (2-3 am) when we were asleep the doorbell rang. My father answered the door with his rifle in hand. Two people claiming to be Buffalo Police Officers were "looking for a missing child" and wanted to come in to ask questions. My father felt something was amiss and didn't let them in. He subsequently called the police and they had no such report of a missing child in the area, nor any police officers going door to door at that hour of the night. In this case I feel it was safer to have a gun than no gun. You can't plan for such events, the best you can do is being prepared for it. There are consequences to gun ownership and consequences to not owning a gun. Ultimately it's the law of the land that allows you to make that choice for yourself.

A defensive use of a firearm doesn't mean you actually need to fire the weapon. The mere presence of a gun can act as a deterrent.

"the rise of that correlates to the increase in shootings."

I'm not sure where you think you read that there were no shootings prior to the rise of divisive identity politics.
Can you give some arguments instead of statements? For example, maybe you can explain your reasoning why do you think that Turkey is geographically in Asia? Maybe you can explain why do you think that Turkey, the successor of an empire with more than 500+ years in Europe is Asian? A country deeply integrated with Europe is culturally asian?

Then we can see if you have a point. There's no use to disagree by just saying something different and give no reasoning.

And the "They invaded Iraq and Syria" statement is so ridiculous that I don't see point in arguing over it. If it's not clear, Google the topic and look closely at the dates of the military activities of UK/France/USA in these countries. You should also Google for George Bush and Tony Blair. Check out the British sentiment for Tony Blair's dealings with Bush. Look closely, why the British leftist are still bitter with Tony Blair's affair with George Bush? Look for videos of "Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf".
In the US we commonly call both of these "calendars". If we need to distinguish between the two, we'll generally use "day planner" to refer to the book you're calling a diary.
They would not have even got off the ground at 2.50. Remember that salaries in Europe are generally lower than in the USA.

I agree with your second paragraph, but see no relation to the comment preceding it. Can you please expound?
There is a lot of confirmation bias in this observation. Frankly, the dead have no voices and the missing value and / or damage is often simply unobserved by those who are left.

It's rare that the damage is surfaced. I did see an event once though when a fairly senior manager made repeated attempts to hand over some data collection and reporting when they were made redundant but were rebuffed by colleagues and their manager alike. Essentially this person was seen as a bit of a third wheel, and many comments were hurled around during the lay off process along the lines of "not clear what his real contribution is".

Well, it turned out that the data that he was collecting, analysising and reporting on was fundamental to the running of a strategic investment. Some months after he left the said project tanked, and because the data was not available a lot of money that potentially should have been recoverable wasn't.

So, it cuts both ways.
How does licensing work? Can I use a sound effect from BBC Sound Effects in my YouTube video?/ University project?
You can read the terms of the licence here. However, as a general rule, as long as your usage remains non-commercial, you can use sound effects for free, crediting the BBC. If the usage becomes commercial - i.e. if you monetise it, sell it, or charge for access to it, or if it is advertising-funded or commercially sponsored, then that counts as commercial use, and you will need to license the recording from Pro Sound Effects.

That is only partially true, at least here in Europe, I notice many riders and drivers working for multiple companies at the same time. So these company they do share load.

The fact that you are a self-admitted bigot (taking offense at being compared to any member of an entire group is the definition of bigotry)doesn't entitle you to change history or geography.

Turkey is geographically partly in Europe. Istanbul sits on the historical border between Europe and Asia, and there is a chuck of land west of Istanbul that is Turkish. In fact, there are parts of Turkey on the European mainland that are farther west than much of Ukraine or Moldova.

Islam is an important part of the culture of many European countries - Spain in particular has significant historical Muslim influence, especially in your architecture. Several majority-Muslim countries are firmly in Europe - Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, North Macedonia. There are significant Muslim minorities in a few other countries - Bulgaria, Cyprus, Montenegro, Georgia. Even in Western Europe, there are significant Muslim minorities in many of the old colonial empires - France, Belgium, Sweden, The Netherlands, UK.

Not to mention, Turkey is still a secular country, even if Erdogan seems poised to turn it towards fundamentalism unfortunately.
I’m not sure I agree. Technical debt is a symptom, it’s the consequence of bad management that leads to working on the wrong things.

If you’re running a startup and haven’t yet found your feet in terms of a product offering, and you’re building your product(s) in such a way that technical debt builds up through continuously layering half-baked on half-baked, it’s indicative that you’re not actually pivoting and not actually evolving, you’re just adding new half-baked ideas to a half-baked system… and being able to do that at twice the speed isn’t going to address the real problem: half-baked ideas don’t make a product, whether that’s 10 half-baked ideas or 100.

My experience is that any company in which evolution/experiments/pivoting is constrained within the boundaries of what already exists because of the sunk cost fallacy has made a grave error at a leadership level, not at a code level. If you can’t validate something without mashing more code into your system, that’s the problem to address.

I’ve seen companies with horrendous tech debt die, and you could certainly frame their death as being a consequence of the tech debt (“if they had just got the perfect system…”) but that assumes the perfect system would somehow prevent them from making the mistakes that got them there in the first place. It wouldn’t. The technical debt is an expression of their mistakes, not the cause. You could dump the perfect system at their feet and they’d be surrounded by garbage again a few years from now.

>If you rule out disarming, how about de-radicalizing? Many mass shooters leave behind helpful manifestoes detailing their reasoning.

That requires much tougher questions to be asked and a level of cultural self awareness that most people don't have.

Look up the history of prohibition. People thought that they could just ban booze and that would be the easy button that would greatly reduce all sorts of adjacent societal ills.

Guns are the same way. People don't want to ask themselves why some youth are so disaffected they go postal. People don't wanna accept that gangs and traffickers mediating business disputes with bullets are basically doing a sloppy version of what courts do for "real business" disputes with extra steps. People don't wanna ask why so many people are taking their own lives. So they bury their heads in the sand and advocate for various flavors of "ban the guns and everything will be happy." Would it have some marginal impact? Certainly. Will it have the impact that advocates say? Lol.
When you look at government programs designed to help those in need, would you say there is an equitable gender distribution in those programs? Or really forget equitable, are there any programs designed specifically for helping males who find themselves suffering in any way? Because I suspect nobody could even count the number designed for females. And not just government programs, but scholarships, hiring initiatives etc. That ratio must be 100-1 at least.

So how is this reality supposed to be processed by males who find themselves stuck? Many, or perhaps most, will internalize it and just push forward. Others will lash out.

Females have a societal safety net designed to catch them when they fall, males do not. I don't think anybody would dispute that, the question is what effect does that have on the psyche of those who are left helpless?

For an idea on how badly she thought about the child stardom, she named her memoir I'm Glad My Mom Died:

> Jennette McCurdy was six years old when she had her first acting audition. Her mother’s dream was for her only daughter to become a star, and Jennette would do anything to make her mother happy. So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction,” eating little and weighing herself five times a day. She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income.

In a word, latency. Everything feeling responsive and tactile is a part of the (tablet part) of the Muse experience. You can see the latency tests for various tablets in a table partway through the essay, and compare those to the human factors research and see that they are off by an order of magnitude for what's necessary to feel responsive. But those tests were a few years ago, would not be surprised if things have improved since then.

TBH I'm not really thrilled about being locked into iPad+Pencil either. But so far, Apple is the only one that has been able to cross the latency threshold with their hardware and OS. Hoping that will not be the case forever.

I think most of our disagreement is about the word ownership. I think many of the times you've used that word, it would be more accurate to say possession.

Your car example is a good one. If somebody has your keys (either with permission or stolen) and they take your car, they have possession of it but at no point do they own it.

Another example - lots of companies have crypto wallets and own Bitcoin and other currencies. Corporate wallets are controlled by agents of that company. The people who know the keys don't own the crypto, the company does. If an employee transfers from a company owned wallet that they control to a wallet they own, that's theft the same as if they had wired money to an overseas account of theirs.

Possession and ownership can align, but they don't have to. Smart contracts can be legally binding, but that isn't guaranteed. None of this exists outside of our legal system.
Pull the rug with negative interest rates and land value taxes and general anti rent seeking policies to make corruption highly unprofitable.

If you get 10 million through corruption you are basically set for life in a positive interest/rent seeking environment because interest acts like a force multiplier on your original act of corruption that gets stronger over time. So your personal goal is to earn as much money as possible, as early as possible and through any foul means. I.e. the reward function strongly favours corruption.

With a negative interest rate, corruption no longer guarantees a high social status and automatic wealth accumulation which means you will have to do honest work until you retire if you want to keep your money. Automatic wealth accumulation is the primary metric that makes money laundering profitable or not. If you can only make 25% of the stolen money clean you can still grow it exponentially over time after it is clean.

If the land value tax is paid out as a dividend then everyone, even the destitute, would benefit from classic USA style homeowner corruption (artificially distorting the allocation of land by restricting it's use).

Another form of corruption would be to spend your student loan on Bitcoin when it was still under one thousand and then skipping college because you "made it". You earned money without producing anything, you are a net negative to society if you don't work for even a little bit.
