The reason why some people lose weight when they switch to healthier foods is because it takes more work to prepare, is more expensive, and/or tastes less satisfying. In that case, the weight loss is caused because the psychological effect of having to pay more for less satisfying food.

From a limited understanding of quantum computing mostly inferred from physical chemistry, I consider it analog in the sense that the "meat" of the computation is performed by a black-box physical system under appropriate constraints. Kind of like the trajectory of a thrown rock can be computed by throwing a rock and recording its path.

My weird idea would be if sound waves would travel differently down the rail dependent on temperature. Although, the rail is likely not uniform enough to detect the differences?

I found a device that is in use - Verse[1]. It claims to be able to measure the neutral? Although my read says the rail must be below neutral, and therefore under tension, to determine what the neutral is?

They unclip the rail and then lift it with a known force? I guess that lets them measure the tension and lateral forces on the rail?

Thanks for the mention of F6, I had been looking for a page focus key for a while to restore focus after switching to the address bar.

I've discovered that "ctrl-f esc" also works; focus goes back to the page when the search bar closes. Convenient if you have capslock remapped to escape.
Some of us aren't "really brilliant people". Some of us are trying to make the most of an average intelligence.

While reading 500 pages of fiction or non-fiction, we're introduced to dozens of people, places, events and ideas that we'd like to know more about, but don't want to interrupt the flow of the book to pursue at that moment.

Some of these people, places, events and ideas are new to us. Some are familiar but from a different perspective. Sometimes there's a different context or frame that provides new insights into what we thought we already understood.

Those of us with average intelligence sometimes find it difficult to remember what we thought was important when we were on page 206 of 500.

Even though we're not extraordinarily brilliant, we also want to synthesize different ideas and make connections among various sources for better understanding, and for inspiration into what to read and research next.

It makes little sense as there is already a good, reasonable and convincing explanation: software companies want to maximize income.

In any case, software piracy seems to be a thing of the past, except a few notable pieces of desktop software (Windows, Office, some Adobe software). Everything else moved to the web, for better or worse, where piracy is practically non-existent.

Absolutely not. Sports is competition through violence, as well. Watch a game of American football, or ice hockey, or basketball for that matter and be able to say otherwise with a straight face.

The answer is cooperative, not competitive, activities.

Just don’t tax it.
In this context, I'm strictly arguing there isn't a problem that needs to be solved. While there is a limit on resources, we haven't reached that limit nor will we in the short term. So, even if the market is using our current resources inefficiently it doesn't matter because there's an excess of supply (in a raw materials aspect, sure there's a chip shortage but the earth didn't run out of sand).

Which is also a derivative concern: how may times when I "space out" programming do I actually loose awareness? A lot of time can pass when I am working and I am often surprised that I have been "working" so long - especially when it is a particularly challenging software design issue that may only be represented by a minimal amount of code.

Of course it's not wage increases that's causing inflation. But once we're at a point where even wage increases lead to inflation, then we're in a really bad place.

Hopefully we can cool off before getting there. Plus the government can't really affect wages. I'm surprised nobody has suggested increasing tax rates as a way to cool the economy off, but that's political, so probably much more difficult.
> If the device performs safety-critical functions, like actuating power, medical equipment, or a connected car, the firmware and software cannot be updated without rigorous testing. If the device requires certification, updating it may require recertification. Updates are disruptive and need to be scheduled when the device is not performing its critical functions. Even just performing the update presents risks: if the update ends up bricking millions of devices and requires manual intervention, it could prove an existential risk to the business or the safety of individuals.

WebAssembly does nothing to address any of this. The least important part about this is the language the code is written in. I think this person has thoroughly confused code running in a VM with code being secure, safe and performing to specification.
I'm a longtime Mozilla contributor, so I’m probably biased toward Firefox, but there are still a few Chrome features that I wish Firefox had, like:

No (though it does happen, see Constantinople's chariot teams). But expansionist and militaristic societies are often obsessed with sport, for example imperial Britain, Germany at the 1936 Olympics, and arguably the modern US.

I've always been pragmatic about my browser choice, not prioritizing performance but rather security, configurability and open source contribution. So I used Firefox since the very first Phoenix beta because I came from using the Mozilla browser.

Only for a short while in the early 00s my poor laptop couldn't runt FF with 256M RAM so I had to use Opera. I had to enter PF rules to make the stupid ads in the UI disappear. But within probably 2 years I had a new laptop and was back with FF.

The main sell in the early 00s was that afaik noscript could not function in Chrome or Opera due to the design of its web plugins, so FF pretty much had a monopoly of the paranoid like me.

And by now I just feel that any privacy enhancements can be done with a custom user.js so I see no reason for any other browser than the upstream FF.
Counter to this, I know some teenagers who are obsessed with music in the way (time wise) mainly only teenagers can be. Currently enjoying a summer off doing 10+ hour days focused on that, collaborations with other people online, everything digital or digitized.

You know what they won’t be doing? Any of the venues and sources you describe. Not a value judgment, by the way, just an observation and a curiosity of what you are really seeing is a silo effect where you just don’t see what they are into and vice versa.
You can compile C, C++ and a bunch of other languages to Wasm, while you can't do that with Java as a target. A lot of existing C code compiles unchanged. And Wasm also actually runs in all browsers nowadays without the user noticing a difference (eg. iOS Safari too).
Play fighting is observable in many adolescent mammals. It is perhaps, in a way, vestigial for humans, but not really because conflicts do still arise often enough.

> That article in turn puts forth a surprisingly thoughtful methodology: https://money.com/richest-people-of-all-time-methodology/.

Here's what this article says about Mansa Musa. First, very few reliable sources for how rich he was:

> Just how rich was Musa? There’s really no way to put an accurate number on his wealth. Records are scarce, if non-existent, and contemporary sources describe the king’s riches in terms that are impossible for the time.

It then quotes a professor who uses an image from a European map of Mansa Musa created 4 decades after he was born as evidence that he was the richest person of all time.

This is the issue. We have a few second hand accounts around the time of his Hajj saying the Hajj was immensely large and luxurious, and it appears that his reign appears to have coincided with a relative high point for the Mali Empire. That's about it, and it's not nearly enough to say he was the richest person in history, or even that he was the richest leader of the Mali Empire. It's worth noting how little we actually know of the Mali Empire - historians don't even agree about what it's capital was.

I looked into it a couple of years ago, and there was no evidence I could find that he was richer than, say, Mansa Sulayman who lead the empire a few years later. Many people seem to consider the Songhai Empire at its peak richer and stronger than the Malian Empire was. Even if we restrict ourselves to medieval West African polities, it's far from clear that he was the richest.

And considering we're looking at West Africa, another problem arises. A lot of people seem to imagine this wealth as being the amount of gold that gold rich Western African polities had times the value of gold if it suddenly all appeared in the gold poor Mediterranean. But this ignores the fact that getting gold there was a difficult task involving skilled intermediaries. Likewise, salt came down from the Mediterranean to the salt poor Mali Empire, where it fetched a large amount of gold. But I don't think anyone would claim that it would make sense to calculate wealth by seeing how much salt a Mediterranean polity had, and then multiplying that by how much gold you could get to it and the end of trade lines in Mali.
Wasm is smaller and faster than JavaScript and asm.js. It is both faster on average, it has far better predictability (far fewer performance cliffs or pitfalls), and it starts up faster (faster to decode + no need to warm up the JIT with types at runtime).

You can test this pretty easily, since Emscripten still supports JavaScript output with a flag (for environments that lack wasm support for whatever reason). Comparing Emscripten's default wasm output to JS output for the same benchmark will show those benefits in most cases.

Its only killer feature to me is that websites are designed and tested with a Chromium-first attitude. As a regular FF user I might stumble upon a website that’s quite buggy or straight up doesn’t work, which forces me to use Chrome for that specific website. Other than that I don’t really feel like there’s anything, and Edge is currently a better Chrome than Chrome anyway.

EDIT: and for the record, I’m still upset Microsoft didn’t choose FF and willingly increased Google’s grasp

Aside from some of the common critiques of purpose-oriented blockchain tech, I think there's a question with BAT of if creating a token-based ecosystem with this thing actually creates economic incentives that align with the overall improvement of our society, or if it merely contributes to the existing problems that have enabled intrusive ad tech in the first place.

On a small scale, paying to be able to take away ads (or getting paid to see them — ultimately, the difference is negligible, given how pervasive ads are in our lives) is a nice experience to have. But it has a lot of implications long-term on our society, given ads are the primary way we finance pretty much all information we have access to these days.

How does this affect upward mobility? If a person in poverty wants to get out of poverty by learning a difficult skill, getting access to the information and learning it will be a longer, more difficult process for them. They will be interrupted more often than wealthier people, they will have less time to dedicate to doing the task at hand than wealthier people, etc.

I personally think it's difficult to get excited about any system that wraps the way we gate access to information in our society without considering this element, because the ability for people to move up in life is really one of the great promises of the internet, and nobody should lose that.
Exactly. The coupons for Domino's are on the front page of their website, no quantity or time restrictions, no app is required, and no account creation is required.

All sorts of hash functions expect 64-bit intermediate values. Worse, these algorithms are liable to go haywire, and return very-not-randomized results if intermediate values are silently truncated to 56 bits (or magically become floating-point and thus lose their lower-order one bits) as happens when they're naively translated from C to JS.
Common wisdom is that startup equity is merely a bunch of lottery tickets due to odds being systematically against employees becoming rich from that, despite founders and upper management talking otherwise. Unsurprisingly, some people lost the lottery.

Way more complicated than simply "next cheaper place". Modern manufacturing has long, really, really long supply chains. You also need a mix of labor (low-end, mid-range, high-end).

The Chinese-focused East-Asian manufacturing worked because you could get mid-range labor from China/Malaysia, low-end from interior parts of China/Vietnam/Bangladesh, and high-end labor from Korea, Taiwan, and Japan.

Latin America is a good candidate because of the easy availability of raw materials and short supply lines to America. But their internal stability is a huge problem.
I optimized my life to build projects, and I avoid youtube and tutorials unless I can't really guess how to achieve something. Tutorials, and especially video tutorials that are less easy to quickly examine just deplede your "creativity moment". Why make something if someone already did?

Doesn’t it depend on the source language? If you compile JS to WASM, you’d have the same problem.

I imagine Python performance isn’t too great either.

Whereas if you compiled (or translated — not sure how comparable the WASM instruction set is) x86 bytecode to WASM, it’d be a walk in the park.

> Animals are not eaten as a source of calories, but mainly as a source of proteins.

> When discussing the efficiency of using animals for food, they must be compared with the vegetables used for their food based on their protein content, not on their calories content.

Why do you think that? I think you're overestimating how much protein people need and underestimating how much protein regular plant-based food contain.

Potatoes are about the cheapest food, not renowned to be high in protein and yet eating 2000g of them a day will give you ~40g of protein and ~2000 calories which is close to the recommended amounts even if you're not trying to get protein. A cheap can of cooked chickpeas or beans is an easy 40g of protein, even cheaper if you cook from dry beans. Seitan (you make it by washing flour dough with water until it's mostly protein + gluten left) is about 75% protein, even more than steak: https://www.menshealth.com/uk/nutrition/food-drink/a25976250...
