Good God, that page looks like someone barfed all over my screen. It's really ironic that a page that lionized Dieter Rams has such an atrocious layout and dizzying "print". It varies between highlighting and bold italics to emphasize something. The medium also switches from text, videos, and info graphics. Sometimes the text is one column but then shifts into 3 columns layout and back again. All I got from the page was "Dieter Rams". He's amazing but we already knew that if any of us only knew one thing about industrial design.
Along with the data,

They. Own. The. Data center(s).

Well, in some sense or another. They might not be completely paid for but you get the idea, there's got to be a certain amount of worthwhile assets that could be leveraged.

Too bad there's not any business executives who have any experience at making money from a data center itself.
> Own a GM for 90 days vs own a GM for 15 years and you'll have vastly different results

This was not our experience with a brand new GMC we had a few years back, which was about as reliable as the previous one, which we got rid of at ~15 years / 250K+ miles. The older one broke down every year or so, but we'd beaten the heck out of it. The newer one experienced multiple major failures in two years, including stranding itself. The old one only stranded itself once through its entire lifespan.

Neutrons don't decay while being part of a stable atom, because the atom has actually less energy than the sum of the constituents -- the difference is the binding energy. Look at deuterium, for example. It has a mass of 2.0141 u. A proton alone is 1.0073 u, and a neutron is 1.0087 u. Deuterium is lighter than the mass of proton + neutron. It's also slightly lighter than two protons, so the neutron cannot decay without external energy input.
The units conversion app shown on the page is particularly pretentious and poorly aligned with user needs. Everything about it is there to say "look at me" and "see how fashionable I am in the eyes of 2008 tech fashion." None of it is there to make the app easy or fast to interact with, nor is any of it there to make the results of the units conversion easy to read or use. The fact that the page designer chose this image to explain what good design is lays bare that the emperor truly has no clothes here.

> "Close down your ancestral farms and do as we say or these horrible tribulations and curses will befall you, your cities will be drowned into the ocean, your lands will glow a fiery red, pestilences and disease will succumb you."

This is happening now. Regardless of closing the "ancestral farms." Subsidence and storm surges happen every few months globally. Sea levels are rising. Have you been to Venice, Miami, Bangkok, among other cities lately? Flooding and erosion are a constant issues. New Orleans has not and most likely never recover its pre-Katrina population levels in our lifetimes.
Recordbreaking wildfires in Australia, California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, and Wisconsin have all happened in the last five years alone. COVID-19, monkeypox, avian flu, orange trees succumbing to diseases, valley lung, Lyme disease, dengue fever, etc. I hope the rock you're living under is a pleasant place to live.

Multigenerational farms become incorporated groups with familial ownership or multinational corporate control. I don't know of many bucolic countryside farms these days, but if you look at the numbers they've certainly been consolidated and controlled by fewer groups over time. 'Independent family farmers' are a dying group in developed economies.
I hope Apple turns Xcode features into a tiered pricing model to counter balance and keep developers in check.

1. Want to use the swift compiler? Pay $5000 per year per user (pretty competitively priced if you compare it to the MATLAB Compiler)
2. Want to click any of the “Services” buttons to enable “Siri” etc in your app? $100 per user per year
3. Want to log and instrument your iOS app in production? $1000 per device
4. Want to… (you get my point)

Disclaimer: I work at Apple and use all their products. I worked at Mathworks many years ago and saw this thread about the Compiler license https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/248667-how-m...

Institutionalized 3p developers should be treated like adversaries; they are vile, nefarious tricksters. They’re just as “monstrous” as Apple or Google are purported to be. My 3p app experiences from the days before 2010s was riddled with shitty installer’s phantom installing “cnet downloader”; and, fearfully installing plethora of antivirus software (which always seemed to find viruses according to their scanning progress bar)

Well most anime is for teen boys.
Japanese adults don't really watch anime, and if you do you are considered weird.

Now some animes are more akin to peanuts or Garfield which is more socially acceptable.

For adults,most people work alot of hours and many businesses have forced socialization. So when you do get some free time, you might watch an episode of something but not in way Americans obsess over it . There's so much anime,manga being produced, and alot of it never makes it to the West.

Try Before You Buy – Not ready for prime time
An example of how to do things wrong when starting a new service.

I ordered a pair of shoes that did not fit. So I go to the amazon page and start the return process. Do I want to return or exchange? Exchange. But wait, the new size cost ~$15 more than the others. Choose return. Go search for other shoes. Wait, the same shoes in the new size are now the same price as the other ones. Eh?

Lesson #1. Do NOT choose exchange.

I package the shoes up and put them in a UPS drop box. A week later the shoes have not been picked up. Call Amazon support (good luck with that). I explain the situation for 5 minutes and they tell me I need to talk to the Try-Before-You-Buy team. TBYB team says not to worry.

Four days later I call Amazon support (good luck with that). I explain the situation for 5 minutes and they tell me I need to talk to the Try-Before-You-Buy team. TBYB team says I need to talk to UPS and file a claim.

I call UPS support (good luck with that) and they tell me I cannot file a claim since I am not the shipper, it is Amazon. ha ha ha.

I call Amazon (good luck with that) they say they will cancel the charge even though it is the fault of UPS and cancel the charge on the second pair of shoes that I have not yet returned.

Lesson #2. Support with Try-Before-You-Buy is dysfunctional. Good luck with that.

His full reasoning wasn't reported on by Quanta, but an article in 2017 noted that faculty from the University of Michigan invited him to transfer after hearing his talk on his proof of Read's conjecture.

From the older article [0]: "Soon after he posted his proof of Read’s conjecture, the University of Michigan invited Huh to give a talk on his result. On December 3, 2010, he addressed a room full of many of the same mathematicians who had rejected his graduate school application a year earlier. By this point Huh’s talent was becoming evident to other mathematicians. Jesse Kass was a postdoctoral fellow in mathematics at Michigan at the time. Just before Huh’s visit, a senior faculty member encouraged Kass to watch the talk because '30 years from now you can tell your grandchildren you saw Huh speak before he got famous,' recalled Kass, who’s now a professor at the University of South Carolina.

"Huh’s lecture did not disappoint.

"'The talk was somehow very polished and very clear; it just went to the right points. It’s a bit unusual for a beginning graduate student to give such clean talks,' said Mircea Mustaţă, a mathematician at Michigan.

"Following his talk, the Michigan faculty invited Huh to transfer, which he did in 2011. By that point he’d learned that Read’s conjecture was a special case of a larger and more significant problem — the Rota conjecture.""

I’ve been heavily dissatisfied with the performance of desktop email clients. Not sure if I’m classified as a heavy power user or not, but at least on Linux, the whole situation is a shitshow if you frequently have threads with 25+ replies.

I’ve tried all email clients, either their Office365 integration sucks, or their Gmail integration sucks, or their performance sucks, or their compatibility sucks, or their UI sucks, and more frequently than not they suck in multiple of these dimensions. They also almost always lack calendar integration, which implies I need to get back to a webapp extremely often anyway.

I have surrendered, just give me a good web app and I’ll manage.
> Neither France, nor any other nation I am aware of, provides a constitutional right to abortion.

I don't see why it has to be a constitutional right (constitutions aren't the only things that codify rights), but for what it's worth there's an ongoing proposal which will probably pass, overwhelmingly, to add abortion as a constitutional right in France.
"1 to 0.8μm" was not the size of a transistor, but the width of a line drawn on the die, presumably the half-pitch of the polysilicon patterns that made the gate of the MOS transistors.

To draw a MOS transistor, you have to draw a source, a drain and a gate, each having a width of "1 to 0.8μm", and you must have spaces between them, about as large as their width.

In most transistors, you cannot use a source, a drain and a gate of minimum width, because you need contact windows, i.e. holes through the insulating layers, to connect the inputs, outputs and power supplies of a gate. Where a contact window is placed, which is a square with a "1 to 0.8μm" side, the source/drain/gate traces must be wider, to ensure that the hole remains under or over them even when successive masks are slightly misaligned.

If you draw a MOS transistor of minimum size, taking into account all the design rules, its area might be 10 to 30 times larger than the area of a square of minimum size. A large part of the transistors in a CPU are larger than the minimum size, to ensure a high enough speed for them. In old CMOS processes, like for 80860, the PMOS transistors were at least twice wider than the NMOS transistors, to decrease the PMOS "on" resistance to values similar to that of the NMOS transistors.

Moreover, in a CPU, especially in old CPUs like 80860, i.e. at a time when they used much fewer metal layers than in modern chips, large areas might have contained no transistors, because they were covered by internal buses, i.e. they were used for routing many metal interconnections, leaving no place for transistors.

So there are a lot of reasons why the average die area per transistor, especially in so old CPUs, must be much larger than the area of a square of minimum size.

Therefore the values computed by you seem very reasonable.
> Tolkien goes into genealogy of characters so switching the skin color requires lots of other changes to maintain that sense of reality.

But Tolkien didn’t specify what traits inherit in which races did he? How do you know how skin tone inherits in this magical world?

Even in our universe we have species such as Chimpanzees which grow darker skinned as they age? How do you know the same doesn’t happen with wizards? In our natural world color is indeed quite dynamic. Even human skin tones, hair colors, etc. are quite dynamic in our world (even among related individuals). In a magical world there is nothing preventing the different races from being even more dynamic and diverse.

Copying from other comments...

Sticks and stones is not a full instruction set, but an introduction to the concept and a reminder. It is not, and should not be considered "one simple trick" to deal with hurtful words. This doesn't mean that it is useless or detrimental.

It is a reminder that self-esteem should not be based on the opinions of others. More clearly needs to be done to instill baseline self-esteem. That doesn't mean it's not a helpful reminder of the concept when one encounters derogatory feedback.

It is like saying:

"When someone says something that makes you feel bad, remember the conversations we had about how just because someone says something, it doesn't mean it is true. People will say things to try to hurt you, but they are just being mean and it isn't true. It reflects on them as a person, not you as a person. However, if someone physically hurts you, this is different."

In my mind, "sticks & stones" is the same thing, but shorter and more memorable.
Roe v Wade said nothing about late-stage abortions.

From the perspective of a game developer that distinction is irrelevant. They still need the final blessing of Sony/Nintendo/MS in order for their games to run on end user's consoles.
Question from a non-physicist: In this context, what does it mean for something to be a "particle"?

I.e., if I see some feature in the LHS data, what makes me call it a "particle" vs. some other concept / object / phenomenon?
> These aren't really "discoveries". These particles were already known to exist (or, to be precise, whose existence was predicted by the Standard Model, just like the Higgs boson). This is just the first time they have actually been observed.

But doesn't that make it a discovery? Sure, a discovery of something already predicted by the Standard Model, but unless it has been observed, we just don't know for sure if it actually exists.
The Standard Model just has been very successful at predicting stuff :)
Yes! This was it, thank you
This is the book I came to recommend. It is different from almost anything else I've read in its causing an immediate shift of awareness which is beyond the intellectual / thinking process.

It consists of conversations which modify being and a different state of being changes everything, instantaneously.

This is my book - I open it almost every day. Not a story to re-read but a state of being to dissolve into.
From an managerial accounting perspective it makes sense. Reduce cost centers and focus on core competencies. But many things make more sense from a short-term, myopic, improve this quarter accounting sense that are actually bad ideas.

Think of it like taking series of blurry photos of an unknown object. A single photo just looks like a blob, but accumulate enough of them and apply some algorithmic magic and eventually the picture sharpens.

When particles are collided and the result measured, there's probably lots of noise in the data. In a single picture, a single pixel (datapoint) tells you nothing. But capture enough results, and you can begin to filter the noise out, revealing patterns underneath.
They aren't making a specific data-based claim. It is well known that different markets exist, the onus is on the article to explain how they handle that obvious confounding factor.
> Not a priority according to democratic politicians.

Hindsight (or the view from the sidelines) is always 20/20, isn't it? It wasn't codified into law because it didn't seem necessary while Roe v. Wade was still in place and there were so many other issues that also needed addressing. You know - wars, pandemics, economic downturns, that kind of thing. Which of these other issues would you have let slide so you could pass a highly contentious law with no immediate practical effect in an environment of razor-thin vote margins and staunch opposition? The Democrats would have gotten plenty of "friendly fire" for that too. Sure, in retrospect it seems like a giant missed opportunity, but we shouldn't pretend there weren't reasons at the time.
Crypto’s Free Rein May Be Coming to a Close

> Looking at the imdb page this seems like a corporate driven project rather than a creator driven project with lots of different directors that haven’t don’t anything remarkable and seem to have just done other Amazon shows.

With the exception of, say, the first season of True Detective, most TV shows use multiple directors. The director on a TV show is usually in charge of the technical execution of the writers script - they’re not making many creative decisions the way a movie director does. The creative authority on a TV show generally rests on the lead writer(s), not the directors. When people talk about the Sopranos, they talk about David Chase; Breaking Bad, Vince Gilligan. And in both of those cases they had teams of writers under them who would write different episodes. This didn’t stop those shows from having a strong auteur-driven vision.

In the case of the LotR show, the lead writers are JD Payne and Patrick McKay. I think they’re passionate about Tolkien from what I’ve read. Look them up if you want to know more.

I scraped data from Reddit, cleaned it, and analyzed it to work out what influences data engineering pay.

TLDR:

- US or remote roles typically get a $40k+ higher base

- There's a steep salary trajectory with experience, rising from $73k at entry-level to $135k by Y5

- The highest salaries posted were for Telecom companies, followed by Tech

- Roles using Apache Spark or Airflow in the tech stack have highest pay

But in that case, what's the problem? If you can't get the legislation through because it isn't popular enough, that seems like a pretty solid case of "Won't fix: working as intended".

Try to use any google property on Safari (or non-chrome browser on any platform) and see all the times Google tries to push you to use Chrome and/or sign into your google account. When logged in it puts a banner at the bottom of every google search and when you aren't logged in it shows a modal that takes 1/3rd of the page.

Google reigns supreme on the web from everything from search to email and docs/drive/etc. Their reach is massive. They have in the past and will continue in the future to use that reach to push people to use their browser engine. How does Apple/Safari/Webkit compete with that? It's not that the browser is better but that the sites they visit push them to use a different browser.

Simple answer is that a lot of people enjoy having kids around. Most people would rather be living with a loving wife and kids especially in their fifties or above instead of living alone or with just a husband/wife; I say most since of course there are exceptions.

For a person in twenties or thirties, kids are often a far off idea since happy to just focus on work and gain independence and having money but source of satisfaction change I would think for most as they get older.

As long as they have backups, yep, that's a quite possible alternative. And backups cost very little, and don't need to run flawlessly 24x7.

They will probably pay through their nose either way (backups or not, migrating or not), because that's how the cloud works. But well, that's for their bean-counters to count. As long as they have backups, it's not strategy defining or an existential risk.

(Anyway, nobody goes around talking about BATNA of the proprietary, rented mainframes. I wonder why.)
The Boys is the closest a studio can come to producing realistic reactions, effects, and backstory for superheroes.

It's not cynicism for cynicism's sake, or just to be edgy. The dystopian feel that the series imparts isn't corny or overdone. I imagine this is how a world with superheroes would act/react.
