once you have a good development for mechanical aspects you absolutely should record yourself and listen, so you can train your ears for the sound. your own ears will lie to you a lot, and the room/hall acoustics matter. the signal gear for amped instruments matters as well. if you want to play for people you have to train your ears so that you know what good sound, sounds like to most people.
The board already willfully agreed to sell him the company and the deal is even better now than at the time they made it. Why would they also want to drop the deal?

The notion that the board is all of a sudden worried about what Musk might do with Twitter is about as silly as Musk thinking he can weasel his way out of a binding contract he already signed.

Telecoms routinely sell people services based on the assumption people won't use them. This gigabit link? The user isn't ever going to saturate it, right? They are pretty much immediately proven wrong and get angry because their infrastructure is over capacity.

The extreme, relentless, rage baiting polarization of the media, however, is a more recent phenomenon. It was not like this even 10 years ago. We can blame the algorithms or the readers or the advertisers. It’s still the one thing that stands out to many of us old enough to remember when you could read the same story on Fox, CNN, WSJ and the Times and it would be almost identical.

I do weekly videocalls with my parents. My mother uses an android tablet. We've given up on zoom because the interface is too complicated for her. Currently using google duo.

Some things that stop her in her tracks:

- any control that requires a touch to activate and then disappears on a timeout - like all the controls for video apps. She takes 3-4 seconds to realize something changed and then 5 more more to start orienting herself. The controls usually disappear within 5-7 seconds.

- any surprising prompt from the os throws her into helplessness and panic - updates that need a restart, etc.

- anything that switches the focus away from the current activity. Why would android interrupt a live call with some BS, ever, is beyond me.

- communications apps show a screen with names but that's often the log of past calls or a chat. She wants to just click a name and make a call. On zoom, going to her contacts required 2 or 3 clicks which were not intuitive for her, and so she can never initiate a call.

- zoom audio needed active confirmation to connect to audio. On a tablet, where no options are available but the over-wifi audio.

- her having to slide a control in order to answer a call.

- anything that requires a reaction within 10-15 seconds

- anything that uses (even widely accepted) technical jargon.

She is not deaf or disabled nor visually impaired and yet the complexity of using this device presents serious obstacles.

These are just from the top of my head. She doesn't browse or use a computer and I'm happy for her. TV and newspaper are enough and I just don't feel good about having her navigate a world of malicious predatory dark patterns.

This makes me realize how used I am to not trusting anything online and presuming the worst by default - in order to protect myself.

I remember how about a decade ago my dad wanted me to help him with an important email. Someone had emailed him to tell him he won a lottery in Britain. It took me a lot of effort to explain to him that it is a scam, that they've emailed everyone, automatically, (to him a simple email takes half an hour so he can't imagine so much effort going into a scam) and that despite them knowing his name... they don't really know him.

The asymmetrical nature of malicious activity online is so... dishartening.

}

T summer = n.zero();
for (int k = 0; k < v.length; k++) {
summer = n.add(summer, v[k]);
}
return summer;
}
Why are these robo-taxis dependent on some sort of OTA communication to operate? I understand periodic OTA updates, but shouldn’t they be able to operate autonomously for long enough to avoid jamming up traffic? Maybe long enough to find a legal parking place instead of the middle of a turn lane/crosswalk?
They probably bought into SLA clauses claiming Rogers won't have maintenance downtime on both circuits at the same time. That shouldn't be an excuse not to have a backup with another provider.
I mean, what will regulators think if Google Search and Alphabet share user data, but not responsibilities?
One surely can, and probably that's about the only option they have.

But for some `foo.Add(bar)` can be considered nicer than `AddFoo(foo, bar)` or `foopkg.Add(foo, bar)`. The semantic differences are mostly in in an aesthetic/stylistic/personal preferences realm, so it's hard to argue for or against it.

If someone is a visitor in your house, you can kick them out for literally any reason you want or no reason at all.

No idea how this is relevant to your claim that "yelling fire in a crowded theater isn't allowed under free speech". It is legally allowed under free speech, it isn't a crime, despite what a lot of people claim. The theater might kick you out or ban you, but that has nothing to do with free speech.

Have to be careful doing that too or you'll end up with subtly different revisions of the same model. This may or may not cause problems depending on the drives/controller/workload but can result in you chasing down weird performance gremlins or thinking you have a drive that's going bad.
Of the women that have kids and I talked to, none complained that having kids is not easy. I know women that after having the kid they planned for, decided to have 2 or 3, even 4 and it was their decision, not their husband's. The only women I heard complaining about having kids are the ones that have none, which is a bit strange - they have only second hand experiences, if any, of having kids.

Yes, now the future of the human race is practically at the hand of the women only. So far it is not going well, as a society and as a race.

At least one AdTech company I know of has a policy against advertising assets that look like buttons or other UI elements, and require any ad image to include the branding of the business being advertised. That's just one of many AdTech brokers, and the biggest ones have no such scruples.
> What cities or countries did this successfully?

As I said, "the general process many places are working on". Look up cities in Can/US/Aus currently building light rail systems and you'll see who is working on it (with greater or lesser degrees of commitment, which will have corresponding outcomes in a decade or so).

North American cities successfully built themselves to be car dependent when no one else ever had, now they just need to work in reverse. The problems aren't functionally different whether it's cars jammed in stop-and-go on an interstate, trains overcrowded on a regional rail, horse and carriages clogging a bridge in medieval england (eg like discussed in the historical fiction World Without End), or individual people jamming the gates at Mecca or a large concert entrance/exit.

The root problem is vehicle lanes can only accomodate a few thousands of vehicles per hour at most (1800 at 2s following distance), while trains can easily accomodate tens of thousands of passengers in the same right of way. Even a sidewalk can (but generally don't) accomodate more users than single occupant vehicles on a highway lane.

> SpaceX started a LEO system as ambitious as SpaceX for its time back in 2013.

I don't understand what this means. If you mean Facebook-- Facebook didn't drop billions of dollars in to free space optical comms.

> GEO to LEO is not LEO to LEO

Yes, GEO-to-LEO is worse in every way (assuming the LEO satellites are in the same inclination and have the approximate same orbital period):

* Longer link distances. (More path loss, worse link budgets)

* Higher peak angular rates for pointing.

LEO-to-Earth is mostly worse:

* Shorter link path, but atmospheric dispersion (More path loss, worse link budgets, plus things like multipath).

* Higher peak angular rates for pointing.

* Less demanding pointing precision due to shorter path, though.

The hard part isn't the optical comms in space. The hard part is fitting multiple precision-pointed transceivers into a tiny volume and mass budget.
As a point of clarity, those state laws are all passed by democratically elected representatives. Gerrymandering may impact outcomes, but Ds are every bit as good at it as Rs. For example, Oregon's legislative districts are comically gerrymandered by Democrats.

The 9 year old me didn't know who Vangelis was, but my whole family loved watching Cosmos and loved the music in the early 80's. I loved his music long before I knew who made it. We had the record and played it all the time and was a favorite in the car on long trips (recorded to cassette). That show turned me onto science. And music. Today I listen to it and a flood of memories take over. The Grand Canyon. The Tetons. Yellowstone. Dinosaur Nat'l Park. Mesa Verde. Walley World (jk). All triggered by music; such a beautiful and wondrous thing.

> when Twitter finally provided access to the eight developer “APIs” first explicitly requested by Mr. Musk in the May 25 Letter, those APIs contained a rate limit lower than what Twitter provides to its largest enterprise customers. Twitter only offered to provide Mr. Musk with the same level of access as some of its customers after we explained that throttling the rate limit prevented Mr. Musk and his advisors from performing the analysis that he wished to conduct

So... they asked for an API, were provided with it, wanted an API with higher caps, and were provided with it. Their problem is that Twitter didn't properly anticipate the need?
Establishing a colony on another planet is going to require a monstrous amount of money, time and resources. I doubt a single country could manage it (look at what it takes to run the ISS, and that's a joke comparse to Mars), but there are zero chances a single man, no matter how rich, is going to do more than a dent in that enormous task.

Solving the technology problem is just the tip of the iceberg.
The counter point here is that the Twitter board is not poor, and the incentives to force the buyout (or at least extract more money from Musk) are huge.

One problem with a lot of supplements is that they might sometimes work in the first one or two weeks (either because they actually work briefly, or because of short-lived placebo effect). So then you get raving reviews on forums, except when they stop working the original posters don't pull their positive reviews.

I think I am glad that kind of stuff doesn’t work, because that was pretty hard to read. Go is trying to keep things simple.

If you want a sophisticated type system with a language they complied to native code then use Swift or Rust.

I personally think it is good to have some choice in complexity level and that at least one language, Go, tries to carve out a niche in simplicity.

I am only barely convinced that generics was the right choice for Go.
Yes but.. we have municipal wifi, public libraries, etc, most of which are fortunately not running on Rogers (although admittedly they probably don't have much redundancy in place, here in Montreal, buses use Telus and city wifi is often Bell).

And Rogers broadband is mostly just Ontario?

re:landline, I'd say go a step further, and don't use cell services at all. All my phone calls use Signal or VoIP, sms is routed through VoIP.ms. My cell is data only and costs 15$/month for 3GB (fido/rogers).

I know, I know, some conditions may apply, but I really hate telcos and enjoy finding workarounds. Hopefully this will encourage a discussion about monopolies/redundancy.

When normal people agree to spend more than they have that normally ends up in bankruptcy and liquidating most assets other than a few exceptions. Obviously that won’t happen here because the rich have a different set of laws but on the surface he either has the assets to pay it off or would have to sell everything he had and start over

Yes, but that's completely different thing. If you move T you would change the semantics.

- func (self SomeType[T]) Foo(...) is a method for a class parametrized on T. So if you want foo.Foo(1) then it only works for foo that's SomeType[int]. You cannot then easily call foo.Foo("one") on the same instance.

- func (self SomeType) Foo[T any](...) - if that'd be a thing - would be a generic method on SomeType that works for any T. So you can foo.Foo(1) and foo.Foo("one") on the very next line and that would work.

Abstract:

Quantum networks promise to provide the infrastructure for many disruptive applications, such as efficient long-distance quantum communication and distributed quantum computing1,2. Central to these networks is the ability to distribute entanglement between distant nodes using photonic channels. Initially developed for quantum teleportation3,4 and loophole-free tests of Bell’s inequality5,6, recently, entanglement distribution has also been achieved over telecom fibres and analysed retrospectively7,8. Yet, to fully use entanglement over long-distance quantum network links it is mandatory to know it is available at the nodes before the entangled state decays. Here we demonstrate heralded entanglement between two independently trapped single rubidium atoms generated over fibre links with a length up to 33 km. For this, we generate atom–photon entanglement in two nodes located in buildings 400 m line-of-sight apart and to overcome high-attenuation losses in the fibres convert the photons to telecom wavelength using polarization-preserving quantum frequency conversion9. The long fibres guide the photons to a Bell-state measurement setup in which a successful photonic projection measurement heralds the entanglement of the atoms10. Our results show the feasibility of entanglement distribution over telecom fibre links useful, for example, for device-independent quantum key distribution11,12,13 and quantum repeater protocols. The presented work represents an important step towards the realization of large-scale quantum network links.
That it is "politically extreme" to say we should limit our Federal Government to the activities described in the Constitution, maybe we need to adress how we're defining the faults?

Besides, it's always the other side's extremists that are the worst of the problem. Our extremists are just harmless nuts exploring the fringes of possibility, not people somehow setting party policy that requires the suspension of belief for frank, objective facts as a condition of membership.
