If neutron is likely to decay into. Why protons dont decay while being part of an atom?

(Wouldn’t this be example of a structure that prevents decaying?)
Denying warranty claims for that reason would already be illegal under existing laws in most developed countries.

I feel like this product wouldn’t have much of a market if people didnt forget about desktop google earth.
Initial quality always seemed like a silly measure to me. I'm more interested in total cost of ownership through 150k-200k miles. Own a GM for 90 days vs own a GM for 15 years and you'll have vastly different results, IMO.
Even with the proposed reduction in the amount of farm animals the Netherlands will still produce more than enough meat and milk to meet domestic demand, and the reason that construction can't continue is precisely the excess nitrogen emissions produced and the physical space consumed by by the farms. The country simply isn't large enough to not make this tradeoff. And if you don't care about the biodiversity, sooner or later you'll find out that you can't continue with agriculture at all because there are no pollinators left.
My argument is that if all beef in the world magically disappeared this minute due to an evil curse, food prices would go up across the board, regardless of food categories. I may be wrong.

> It's a luxury.

IMHO it's not a luxury in the same way that caviar and champagne are, it's a luxury in the same way that fresh greens are a luxury compared to frozen peas.
Dang, that's annoying— you'd think pre-downloading pushed emails would have been a standard feature for like the past twenty years, given how Mike Lazaridis used to talk about that in speeches and keynotes as one of his, like, critical insights when directing the engineering of the original BlackBerry units, like "hey guys, what if we waited to buzz the device until the message was fully downloaded and actually ready to read?"
I think the source is dairy farming specifically. So cattle yes, but kept for milk rather than for beef?
In my opinion you could still make a compelling LOTR without the “white supremacy” vibes because there is a clearly defined good and evil and the constituents of those groups can be diverse (as the original is). What’s impossible is to replace every protagonist with a female and expect any of the gravitas to hold up.
I still wish VMS had managed to survive the 90s. I still think its CLI has not been excelled (and there’s something to be said for requiring commands to be registered rather than just treating any executable on the path as a command).
> As for the "being able to parrot" bit, please spare your personal attacks. They don't make your argument any stronger, they just make me think it is not worth talking to you.

Sorry. I wasn't trying to attack you. But I can definitely see that it comes across that way, so I'll bear that in mind in the future. I might have been arguing for the sake of arguing too.
Agreed. This would be only slightly annoying if you're talking to the person. But 100ms or even 200ms is an acceptable latency, especially if it's constant. This solution is not just simpler, but it's also more efficient as you can bundle the data up efficiently, and include state changes as well.

There is a lot of prior art in this space, btw. I remember Meteor.js having a great real-time demo over websockets that actually used predictive techniques to keep things (imperfectly, but still impressively) 0 latency.
I think it’s also both the people making the tech decisions and the people implementing them simply don’t want to work on mainframes. I would 100% of the time prefer to work with an on-prem dc or colo using commodity hardware and OSS to mange it.

I get my pick of a billion different hardware vendors, they’re all interchangeable and interoperable, every problem I can possibly dream up has been solved a hundred times before. The skills are commonplace and transferable so hiring doesn’t mean convincing some poor desperate grad to get trained in the company script, hires will actually want the skills, and you can find senior people.

^ This. Roe vs. Wade wasn't about abortion, it was about privacy. That's why they're already talking about voiding gay and interracial marriage bans, they were based on that precedent.

Here's a consequence that should speak to tech-types: there are two arguments against mandatory NSA backdoors into encryption used by tech companies, 1) a fundamental right to privacy, and 2) these backdoors are intrinsically hackable.

The argument against #2 is "nuh-uh" and enough of our lawmakers are technically illiterate enough to believe that. #1 was based on judicial precedent that just went down the toilet.
So far everyone complaining about app lockouts have been laser-focused on phones, because they're general-purpose and thus easier to legally justify sideloading on. Nobody wants to talk about game consoles - to open them up would almost certainly require revisiting DMCA 1201[0] and removing the prohibition on circumvention tools. The US Copyright Office wouldn't entertain extending the current "mobile devices"[1] jailbreaking exception to consoles, and Epic Games had to do all sorts of mental gymnastics to explain why Apple was a monopolist but Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony weren't.

And yes, you do have a local equivalent, unless you are living in Iran, Afghanistan, or North Korea.

Because we have too many in the Netherlands, it's that simple. We are a tiny country where nearly every area that isn't used for housing or industry is used for farming. Go to any other European country, you have large forested areas, mountains, etc. That hardly exists in the Netherlands because we're all farm.

J.D. Power isn’t an unbiased review.

There is zero chance that Dodge and Chevy have real world reliability greater than makes like Toyota, Honda and Mazda.

They also play games like counting “problems” without a weight. Infotainment problem fixed in firmware and transmission problem both increment the count by 1?

The IP is only used for its value as a brand.

There’s an argument to be made that such productions are prone to diminishing the value of the brand if they turn out to be subpar. On the other hand, mainstream consumers usually aren’t too demanding. So brands tend to get watered down to minimal viable mediocrity.
Actually seeing Microsoft doing the same thing since 1990 doesn't inspire confidence in any of the actions they're doing. They need to try harder. Putting up logos and cute banners don't count.

Also, if you had the same point of view, you could have written the same thing.

BTW, I was already using Linux by 2002. I have pretty much first hand experience of what Microsoft did until today.
>"Change gives the illusion of progress".

This is one of the biggest reasons many jobs are so miserable. You want to be in the job at the beginning of the"invest" decision. Unfortunately most people get little say in when they join because the information about this is kept internally to the company.
fair enough, but I guess anything under T3 equivalent in any drive system is pretty damn difficult. What do you use?

Holy wow, this is new heights for the anti-cryptocurrency mental gymnastics.

More likely, some apps will simply bypass the whole app store concept entirely. There are a lot of downsides to requiring every app install be intermediated by a third party, especially for internal or very niche apps where the app store isn't really adding any value because the provider is a trusted/known brand to the customer already (e.g. they may have a negotiated contract).

For consumer apps, there doesn't seem to be much appetite to do this on Android at least, though Telegram can be installed outside of app stores. It rolls its own update system and that seems to work fine.
i believe it given 2 neighbors own teslas. One neighbor has had his car in the shop longer then he's owned it. The other is on his 5th warranty call.

Yes I'm sure they are outliers but with all new tech people that are early adopters will pay the price.
And yes, I know about OpenVMS, but it’s not really a player in any meaningful way.
All reasons mentioned here seem pretty selfish. The thing about having a kid is that it's not just about you, but bringing into existence a complicated piece of consciousness who wouldn't have existed if you didn't procreate. Life is full of suffering. This is not something new, it's what the Buddha also observed 2500 years ago. And now with climate change and all it ain't gonna get any easier for the new generation. So it's a big decision to bring a life into this world. The pros and cons shouldn't just be about you but also the kid who you would bring into this world. Remember you have a lifetime of responsibility towards the kids, it's basically your fault that they even exist. You can't just throw them out at 18. Morally as a parent you are tied down to a lifetime of commitment towards the happiness of your progeny. Can you afford healthcare for your kid if they have some chronic lifelong disease? Can you get your kid married if they are not traditionally good looking? Basically can you afford to give your kid a good standard of living that makes life worth living? If yes please have kids, we need more of them.

Exactly this. there's nothing about an existing universe that prevents bad writing for new stories in that universe. And big studio creative talent is at a historical low right now.
> I think a majority of people in NL would sacrifice the local nature (to some degree) to solve this crisis.

Maybe, but that is just because the farmers have a great PR machine going. It does not make sense to sacrifice local nature for an billion dollar industry that mainly (70%) produces for export. Its not like the Dutch food supply will suffer from this in any way.

That's self-defeatist. You mentioned IE downthread; IE is not the dominant browser anymore, and the reason for that is not just that MS stagnated, but that it was challenged vigorously by competitors that exploited new opportunities better. This is one such opportunity.
> Why must I say no to this every time I open the app?

It's a custom nudge. It's shown by the Spotify app. Clicking on the CTA takes you to the settings page or something.
To quote Alan Watts, "There is no end to the minuteness that you can unveil through physical investigation. For the simple reason that the investigation itself is what is chopping things into tiny little pieces. And the sharper you can sharpen your knife, the finer you can cut it. And the knife of the intellect is very sharp indeed. And with the sophisticated instruments that we can now make, there’s probably no limit to it."

It's almost as if we're looking at a continuous functions that can generate an infinite number of discrete segments.

If this piece was to highlight anime to show us that it's not underground, they're about 30 years too late. Almost all entertainment was borrowed from other pieces of art. Anime isn't immune from it. The detailed styling of anime can be accredited from manga. Manga flourished under Osamu Tezuka, the god father of manga, especially with Astro Boy - which was influenced by Disney.
No, a WIMP is the theoretical dark-matter equivalent of a particle.

A MACHO is a low-energy star or whatever that would explain the apparent presence of dark matter without actually requiring anything exotic like WIMPs. The idea is that these objects are (relatively) massive, numerous, and so low-energy that they are hard to detect and their combined mass would theoretically explain the effects we currently attribute to dark matter.

Or in other words, a WIMP would be like claiming that your fridge is disintegrating your cheese, and a MACHO would be the kid raiding the fridge for cheese at midnight when you're asleep.
It's better nowadays. All you need for 4K is Kaby Lake/Ryzen or newer (or a NVIDIA/AMD GPU from the same time or newer) and an HDCP 2.2 4K display.[1] 1080p is just practically any capable CPU/GPU with old HDCP.

Uh yes, exactly?

Clouds give small customers the first hit free as a loss leader. With very large customers, clouds have to be price competitive because if you're at a large scale, it is totally worth spending millions of dollars for a 5 year plan to change clouds. The people who get screwed are the medium to large customers for whom the cost of changing clouds is too high to recoup in a reasonable timeframe. The moral of the story is be very small or very large, but avoid being medium sized.
EUR feels still stuck in a world where you have to figure out everything from the get-go. Hence, I think Europe still attaches a stigma to pivoting, whereas it's a rite of passage in the US indeed. Hopefully that kind of posts helps changing that!
PCB manufacturers accept a format called "Gerber" files. They are basically drawings of all the layers of the PCB. You can download the Gerber files from the Kitspace page and send/upload them to a manufacturer of choice or even use one of the links to auto-upload them for you to Aisler, OSHPark, PCBWay or JLCPB.

Since the PCB is the board only, component information is actually not required to manufacture it. If you want a functioning device however you do have to source the components (e.g. from Digikey) and solder them to the PCB. I would recommend starting with an easier circuit (the electron-detector above might be a good candidate!) and ideally find someone to teach and help you (maybe at a local hackerspace? youtube tutorials might get you there if not?)

There's also this popular comic for teaching soldering to beginners that might help: https://mightyohm.com/blog/2011/04/soldering-is-easy-comic-b.... More links like this can be found on our list: https://github.com/kitspace/awesome-electronics/

The other option is to have a manufacturer solder it for you (e.g. Aisler and JLCPCB will do this for you), but if you have no experience building and debugging electronics I wouldn't recommend it (since it can get expensive and you can easily end up with a non-functioning device).
Apparently there are fifty-seven "paragenetic modes," wherein a paragenetic mode is defined as a genesis for the creation of a mineral. One such mode would be condensation directly to a solid from a gas in the context of "condensation at volcanic fumaroles." The bit about pyrites is that there are an astounding twenty-four ways you can make them. So, this looks like a new lens with which to examine and classify minerals, after going through a very large catalog of them tabulating each manner of formation allowed.

Some of them are surface oxidation and weathering, some are stellar (!), and so on. Given that you can arrange at least some of these modes (why paragenetic?) in time order, you could look at what kinds of minerals, whole classes of them, could form and when, or as you put it, what era.

I'm not sure of the utility of this, but then I'm not a geologist. Looks like a nifty classification method. Perhaps you could come up with "Incidence of mineral X ought to be correlated with incidence of mineral Y," although I thought that was already pretty exhaustive.
There's several very good provisions in this legislation (3rd party payment processors, non-preferential treatment for 1st party apps), there are several that have a mix of upsides and downsides (sideloading is one--I personally like knowing that Facebook can't ask people to sideload some privacy destroying crap on iOS).

Then there's:

- Allow developers to integrate their apps and digital services directly with those belonging to a gatekeeper. This includes making messaging, voice-calling, and video-calling services interoperable with third-party services upon request.

- Give developers access to any hardware feature, such as "near-field communication technology, secure elements and processors, authentication mechanisms, and the software used to control those technologies."

Apps will use near-field communication technology and other mechanisms to track us (consider how many device related APIs have restrictions in web browsers for just this reason), and I think it's credible that the interoperability requirements are going to be used to smash end-to-end encrypted messaging. You can have a decentralized end to end encrypted protocol. Can you retrofit every existing messaging service to use it in the short-term? Probably not.

As an end user, the things that give developers maximum freedom are not necessarily the things that let me use my device with maximum freedom. I support people who want a FOSS device that is in no way locked down. I just don't want that, because I don't want to play systems administrator for an always on tracker in my pocket.
Apple clearly does have serious competitive threats to what they do, it doesn't even have majority market share in the EU. But it also won't threaten their revenues much. On platforms where users and developers do have a choice from day one (Android), the app store is sufficiently useful that most devs do choose to stick with it. It seems unlikely that Apple can't make the app store competitive on its own terms.

> The change is the gradual accumulation of statistics. These are relatively rare events. The LHC has been running, high-energy proton-proton collisions have been occurring, and the LHCb detector in this case has been measuring them. The statistics increase, and eventually the characteristic peaks of short-lived resonances can be identified above the noise of "background" collisions.

I think people are a bit spoiled by the Higgs leak/announcement/discovery timeline. I'm sure those in the know have known about this discovery for some time but, like you said, it takes some time to gather enough data to be confident (and to qualify as the mathematical standard set for "discovery").

Few questions if you will, it's an interesting work and I figure you're on ScyllaDB team?

1. Is 5s experiment with 1s warmup really a representative workload? How about running for several minutes or tens of minutes? Do you observe the same result?

2. How about 256 connections on 16 vCPUs creating contention against each other and therefore skewing the experiment results? Aren't they competing for the same resources against each other?

3. Are the experiment results reproducible on different machines (at first use the same and then similar SW+HW configurations)?

4. How many times is experiment (benchmark) repeated and what about the statistical significance of the observed results? How do you make sure to understand that what you're observing, and hence drawing a conclusion out of it in the end, is really what you thought you were measuring?
> If I go to a clinic, they ask me to side load an app while I’m sick, and that app has no real privacy protections…

That behavior should also be regulated, because the app is collecting medical information.

I'd much rather the government regulate this than some self-interested tech company which promotes privacy if and when it's financially expedient for them.
