In the short run at least, this might hurt FIDE more than Magnus. He's already the biggest brand in global chess by far, at this point becoming successful at the 'influencer game' (his podcasts, other content like the poker and fantasy football he got into as well, collaborating with other influencers like the - also Norwegian - highly successful former climber Magnus Midtbo,...) might do more for his brand than winning yet another title.

That's assuming that's even his goal, he really just seems to be doing whatever he enjoys. And in the long run, FIDE will also be fine. There will be new talents, and as even Magnus admitted, it's hard to rival the 'official' world champion title in terms of global attention.
"It’s unclear if the Senate will take up the legislation, as Democratic leaders remained noncommittal on Tuesday. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said he would personally support putting it on the floor, but questioned whether there’s enough time on the calendar with the Senate set to go on an extended recess in two weeks and two huge party priorities to finish before then.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer would not say Tuesday if there would be a floor vote but said, “we’re going to look at everything we can do.”

Very good recommendation. I was taken to this movie by my (secondary school, I believe) teacher.

It really moved me, although I don't agree with suggestion that movie is making: staying neutral is the worst choice you can make.

Especially in communist Poland it was probably best choice to avoid jail/torture/execution and shame of collaboration at the same time.
It all comes back to data collection. All of it. No market, means no motive.

If absolutely all collection of Pii was made illegal, or perhaps even all sale of any data based upon it, be it anonomized or not, things would rapidly change.

Even better to make illegal all targeted marketing, based upon stored data or info about a user.

Adtech would still exist. If you visit a reddit about showers, show shower ads. You don't need to know a single thing, except the page currently visited is about showers... so show shower ads.

All of it, massive issues with our democracies, with spying, with tracking, with price fixing, all of it comes back to, what is now, a purely evil industry. User tracking.

Take the profit away from all collectable data about a user, and watch things improve fast.
Interesting concept, I must admit it seems a plausible explanation. I also notice that Anxiety sufferers often overthink things (its much more complex I know).

I guess information size is still exploding in volume and depth, but perhaps in quite a few hundred years this will slow and we catch up through several generations. Maybe then depression or anxiety will be filtered out of subsequent generations as we cope better?

Personally I suspected a lot of it was down to poor nutrition/diet, exercise, night shift work, overall sleeping less and exposure to screens/information. The main factor I think is food e.g. sweeteners, sugars, e-number chemicals, preservatives, and salt all altering our body chemistry.

TCG has historically had more of a focus on accuracy than performance. It lifts a lot of guest architectures to a lot of host architectures, and isn't particularly specialized to any given host cpu type. It lifts many instructions to C helpers instead of bothering to jit them. Last I checked it had no vector -> vector jit. It's also not single address mapped - memory IO undergoes indirection, which is expensive. I think Rosetta for example has a shared address space for the guest and host code. Honestly on 64-bit CPUs, especially with pointer authentication on M1, the risk of the guest accidentally messing with host/jit memory is low.
The only thing you 100% need osx for is the signature / certificates crap.

It's a good question. Its worth noting that minimalism is generally considered a good style for writing or speaking natural languages. Think of writers or speakers known for great style: Hemmingway, Churchhill, Shakespeare[1]. They all used very simple language.

As Churchill wrote (or so the internet tells us):

>> Short words are best - and old words, when short, are best of all.

So using a more concise vocabulary is sometimes considered good. Now it is true that "having a large vocabulary" is widely considered a good thing in a person, i.e. a sign that they're educated/smart etc. But that's just because it's common for ordinary people to be somewhat deficient in vocabulary. Once you have enough, having more isn't necessarily better.

I think it would be interesting to compare the vocabulary of different languages with their literary fame. Certainly English and Russian would be near the top of the list (for fame), and they both have far more words than French for example. But it's hard to compare vocabulary sizes between languages because words can change (inflection etc.), become unpopular etc.

[1] If you read or listen to one of Churchills speeches, it's hard to imagine how they could be improved. But you won't encounter many (any?) words that aren't very common. You might encounter that with Shakespeare, but that's just because he was writing a long time ago and many words have fallen out of use. His language was considered quite direct at the time and in fact in Hamlet he mocks speeches having an excessively flowery style (which is ironic considering that many people nowadays see him that way).
Hopefully. Game consoles normalized the shit Apple is doing.
I wonder how much the one child policy has had an effect in making this type of industry prevalent in China.

With a one-child policy, the first generation you have no siblings. The next generation, you have no cousins.

Add to that the sex selection of many families choosing to have a son over a daughter as their one child, and you end up in this situation.

That's never going to happen and I'd rather Apple spent money on something else other than make it happen.

You make it sound like the only resolver available is Google's in which case there might be some merit to your comment. In reality you can pick from many resolver's to fit ones preferences, making your point moot.

Even if the default resolve is Google's they could've easily set 8.8.8.8 as the default for all Android devices too, that's an orthogonal concern.
Audio is real-time and performance is everything. Freezing tracks should take the least amount of time possible and no skipping should occur unless you are using the most complex modular VST out there. With WASM being like 1/3 of native and having extremely limited SIMD support I would probably expect it to not work at all for serious work.

Quite frankly, even native performance is often not enough.

That said, I can see it being relevant for learning audio, synthesis and how signal processing works. And of course, just for fun!

Source: Worked with DAWs for a decade. Also currently writing a paper on the role of native performance.
No, but it looks very interesting. So this would replace TeamViewer and Steam RemotePlay at the same time, not bad. Just not that big of a fan about the pricing. $100 per year just so that my SO can play on their PC at their home, while I'm not at my home, seems a bit steep.

Yeah, my use-case is very specific, I know. I don't even game remote myself, but if I'm on holidays or at work and my partner wants to game from their home, I need a way to be able to power on my PC and everything necessary for it to work. A complete niche, first-world problem :)

Beneath IP are things that are hardware, or very close to it.

Hardware physically pushes bits on a medium and gets them off. Hardware is the only layer that can even try to provide any guarantees about those bits, since it's the one physically handling them. Anything above isn't "real" until that point.

But it can't--after all, power may go out, your cat may chew on the Ethernet cable, your ISP cuts you off because your bill is unpaid, etc.

Kinda like the same way your filesystem really wants to treat the underlying storage devices as reliable, but does so at its peril because when a drive wants to die, it's going to die and you're not going to stop it. So you put layers between the high-level filesystem and low-level devices to abstract it.

IP is an internetworking protocol that enables routing. Routing is supposed to be where "RAID" for Internet is supposed to live - ideally there is one global Internet, not millions of balkanized mini-Internets behind NATs, and robust networks would have working multiple routes out of their network, and those routes would be known to all hosts on that network and easily be communicable to adjacent networks. So your path to a given IP could take one of many, and that is what happens between service provider networks.

DNS does suck, we could go back to passing hosts files around. Essentially that's what's happening in reverse with ad-blocklists.
1 is true. When git is “rewriting” history it’s actually creating a new commits and moving the branch pointer over.

Until the gc reaps them, you can absolutely git checkout the hash of any of the rewritten history and it’s still there, same as you left it. You can even move the branch pointer back, undoing the history rewrite.
I know most money is created by private banks. But that is stable (it is assumed by ceteris paribus). If a government decided to stop taxing then that would be something new.

It's definitely a perception issue that's borne from some reality. Having taken buses in a few cities, I can say some buses were perfectly fine, clean, and felt dignified to ride. A utility of the commons. Some other cities, it felt like taking a vandalized back alley vending machine to work.
>You, as an adult, can choose not to install shady software.

For some reason every Linux user assumes everyone is as smart as they are and anyone who doesn't take the time to learn whatever esoteric config file to manage their DE is a child that can't tell left from right. Somehow the decade of directed scams and proliferation of malware and spyware isn't a problem and it's the developers "right" to be able to turn on your microphone and send that data to the cloud.

You could just not buy from Apple. I never understand how the anti-Apple crowd is convinced that Apple is run by Satan himself, but cannot compel themselves from buying Apple products.

Well, since nobody has ever read the spec in its entirety, it's completely possible that those guys are actually part of the specification, somewhere around page 5000 or so.

My main problem with Bluetooth is connecting and disconnecting devices together.

Want to use your corded headphones on your phone? Just plug them in. Want to switch to your computer? Just plug them in there.

Want to use your Bluetooth headphones with your computer? Turn them on. Check what they automatically connected to if anything. If wrong, find that device, disconnect Bluetooth, go back to computer, find device in Bluetooth menu somewhere and connect. Pray that the device doesn’t require you to enter discovery mode. Repeat the process for switching. Bonus points if your smartwatch was involved.

Most of the time these are replacing areas with bus lines with small ridership. Its cheaper and on average faster to service those areas with this model instead of driving a lot of empty busses around constantly. If ridership increases to the point where busses again make sense I imagine they'll resume bus service to those areas.

Some of the transit around me had areas change to this model. I know people who used to ride the bus and now take this. Being able to dispatch a ride (and even schedule one a day ahead of time!) makes things a lot easier, more reliable, and faster. Previously they would have to walk a few blocks to the main street and wait in the 100F weather for up to 10-15 minutes. Potentially they'd have to change busses depending on where they were trying to get to, often having yet another wait in the 100F weather. Now they're able to schedule their ride ahead of time, the car meets them outside their apartment, and they're able to get a ride directly to nearby shops or the light rail/major bus terminal to get someplace else.
> But they've done so very poorly, as I'm sure you can see.

This reads as appalling smug. Whether spaceman_2020 made a good argument or not, you are quibbling over ultimately unimportant figures when the situation remains that mass shootings of children in their schools are orders of magnitude more common in the US than other developed countries.

You should also be appalled by the adolescent suicide rate involving firearms - that's also not normal.
No it doesn't (except on ChromeOS where Google provide Widevine Level 1 because they control the OS hardware access).

Chrome has access to 720p because it only has Widevine Level 3 on MacOS or Windows.
I understand your point, but I think you're fighting a semantic war that has already been lost. For a new generation of hackers, self-hosting just means they control the data and executables directly. Physical ownership of hardware is getting more and more rare, and frankly the marginal benefits are small and probably not worth it most of the time.
I would expect this would also go in effect on existing iPhones, so it seems more likely that you'd need a European Apple ID/account.

Pointing to alterations isn’t really helpful without context. An anti-depressant should induce long-term helpful alterations in order to alleviate symptoms.
In a lot of ways the study of mental illness is like the war against cancer, you can expect perpetual expectations of miracle cures being made while slow progress happens in the background and major reverses of assumptions sporadically occur, and therapeutically specific variants make big progress while the majority of the disease is treated by blunt tools which do offer some help but at a considerable cost
I'd believe this if that same money wasn't required to keep the lights on. Easier to just stop paying it and wait for them to run out of runway.
> Electric cars tend to use low rolling resistance tires (potentially less wear… if you’re experiencing less rolling resistance, that means less energy ends up being used to produce wear, so less wear occurs… in part due to geometric effects and partly due to composition of the tires). Electric cars are also fairly comparable in curb weight due to massive weight reductions elsewhere, plus improved traction control (and the more gentle regenerative braking) means less wheel slippage and wear.

Do we need to go this deep into our analysis? I would think ((pi*radius^2)-(pi*(radius-tread_depth)^2))*width/miles would tell us pretty much everything we need to know about tire emissions, and most EV owners in my experience will acknowledge spending much more on tires for the same # of miles or spending the same for a good bit less # of miles. I'm not sure what the dimensional differences are on your average EV tire purchase versus your average ICE tire purchase, but if we look at model 3 base tires vs civic touring tires (biggest stock civic tire sold):

M3: 235/45R18 10/32 (Primacy MXM4)

Civic: 235/40R18 9/32 (Eagle Sport A/S)

so at least as far as stock tires M3 should have more total tread than a similarly sized/similar TCO vehicle given the larger aspect ratio and deeper tread depth. Unfortunately I can't find any non-anecdotal data on how many miles they would each get.

Of course I agree with pretty much everything you said but I do think tires are an important conversation to have around EVs, particularly when prices come down and budget conscious buyers start putting cheap, loud, fast wearing tires on their EVs.
Big problem with taxing more heavy trucks is that price will get moved on customers, which will move it on end users. And because almost everything is transported by a truck into shops, which will cause hike in prices for goods in shops - you are now punishing poor.
This is quite insightful. I will have to reflect and figure out what I like, tho I have a general idea of the kind of dev I am
I'm honestly shocked how good of a job Apple did on their AirPods. When they first came out I thought it was an expensive gimmick, but when they released the Pro's I bought in and they became my favorite Apple product of all time.

At least for me, the reliability of the connection as well as being able to do a quick "handoff" from my iPhone to my Mac to take a call is a gamechanger. Also the spacial audio feature is probably one of the best overlooked features of the AirPods, the depth of sound you get with it enabled is truly incredible given what you are listening on. When I discovered that feature I pretty much re-listened to my entire Spotify library, listening to songs I've heard hundreds of times before, I picked up sounds I never heard previously.

For $200, what a freaking package.
And on top of this increase in complexity, is a decrease in legal consequences for bad actors taking advantage of this complexity. That is what is going on currently due to how the Internet crosses international borders which makes policing much more difficult for society.

It is a difficult conundrum as freedom is definitely something I value, but I think freedom may not be the best solution in a world without legal consequences for those abusing that freedom to take advantage of others.

Freedom with no guidelines to prevent use of that freedom to abuse others is not real freedom
