I strongly suspect that ban will be delayed. There's still no serious effort to build large-scale public EV charging infrastructure.

The ban on new petrol vehicles seems likely to result in more older (higher-emission) vehicles remaining on the road for longer, as EVs still remain 'toys for the wealthy', far too expensive for the working class (who rely on inexpensive used cars).

It's unclear what the used EV market is going to look like longer-term in terms of pricing, degraded battery packs, and reduced range, and availability of repair/servicing for a vehicle that's now a 'tech product' full of software locks, that can only be repaired by authorised dealers, rather than by any skilled mechanic.

It's also unclear how governments are going to tax EV users to recoup the huge amount of fuel tax lost from the switch to EVs...
Why do children need to be "protected" from nudity? What's so special about nudity?

The reason people try to control children's access to tech and social media isn't because they might see a nipple (lol) but because it's addictive and prevents them from doing anything else.

If we realy want to "protect the chidren" we should start by dismantling FAANGs.

I don't know Russian, but I'd read the English quote as referring to a third derivative - the units of "labour productivity" are work/time; so growth of that is a second derivative. Also if someone said "acceleration of speed" I would assume they meant acceleration, so that only adds one derivative.
How does the default hashCode() work?
Going to be much more challenging in Europe and cooler climates with less sunshine.

Sunny places like Australia are having the problem of too much solar on the grid now and looking at community batteries and EV charging as ways to offset that and stabilise things.

Would you be fine with a beer company making a "safe" version of beer for kids so they get hooked and once they turn 21 they switch to the real stuff and become alcoholics?

Making these devices more "child friendly" is the wrong solution to the problem. Actually, it's the absolute BEST solution if you are Apple and want to calm the parents down and sell more phones and services at the same time. Unfortunately I'm not Apple and my objective regarding my kids is not to maximize profits and push complex technology to people down to the last semi-conscious toddler

>>Absolutely not true.

Which part isn't true? Pictures aren't scanned directly on the phone anywhere, that's true of both Android and iOS. Apple's implementation would change that, again, making their privacy implementation worse not better.

>>When you scan on the server, like Google does

I don't see how that's relevant. Apple wasn't scanning on their servers(at least that's what they say publicly, I don't doubt that NSA has access to the data anyway).
The paper you provided has two important omissions: 1) it does not mention Tseitin transformation to encode Disjunctive Normal Form into a Conjunctive Normal Form and 2) does not look at decision diagrams, especially, zero-suppressed decision diagrams for set representation.

Tseitin transformation prevents exponential expansion in conversion from DNF to CNF.

The fact that paper's algorithm employs disjunctive normal form suggests the use of binary decision diagrams. ROBDDs represent DNFs naturally, for one example. ZDDs represent sets of sets and were relatively successfully used in non-trivial approaches to the SAT solving problem like [1].

[1] https://web.eecs.umich.edu/~imarkov/pubs/book/b002.pdf

Also, the paper you mentioned has this right in abstract: "However, there is still the quest of making the new worst-case optimal join algorithms truly practical in terms of (1) ease of implementation and (2) secondary index efficiency in terms of number of indexes created to answer a query."

WCO is hard to implement and it might be computation-wise prohibitive.

I think OP means that if your project / job doesn't support typescript, you can write .ts files on your local machine and then compile them to .js. I think it would be very challenging though to be the only person on a project using TS though.

This is precisely what I meant by pointless: outside of 20somethings and certain locales (particularly large cities), alternate lifestyles exist where parents simply may not want this for their children.

I'd suggest arguments for or against any particular culture or lifestyle, or attempting to deny they exist, exceed the scope of discussing the feature itself.

I noticed that, too, and realized how thought-provoking the ability to just say "OK, I'm done" really is. That, and marking (though not actually serving) as `Content-Type: text/shitpost` really demonstrates that the author is more interested in sharing the technical aspects of his discovery than in needless elaboration and commentary.
Considering ACKs traffic when doing back of the envelope estimates I divide by 10: 100 Mb/s = 10 MB/s (on Ethernet, Wi-Fi who knows.)

You don't need an ID to vote in Australia either. It works fine. What's hard to imagine? You get checked off on a list which includes all enrolled voters for that electorate.
Teenagers have sex and experiment. Just teach them about birth control and "no means no" and everything will work out.
Music ?

A sound wave at a specific frequency is a cyclical difference in air pressure, so there's an infinite number of derivatives here. But let's take the Fourier Transform to keep it simple: a specific frequency is a constant.
Music is made by having different frequencies together, ie multiple constants, and changing them over time ie first derivatives.
You also want that change of rate to be smooth, which means there is an impact on the second derivative.
I'm not sure what the third derivative would be, but I guess it would be the change in rhythm, tone, or even changing music.
Ah, so you're re-creating the results of overlay-mounting the layers?

I'm definitely ignorant of the exact rules for those; I only use them to split up large images into a "mostly static" layer (e.g. dependencies, which may be large) and a "subject to change" layer (i.e. our code, which will be different for each version)
I think it's quite clear by now that the US never codifies any laws that didn't originate nationally, not even if they are international accords or treaties. A US signature on an international treaty is basically worthless.
A lot of that can be attributed to the best people from around the world emigrating to California and not culture and education of Californians
Yes. The mathematics make zero sense for a third party in the United States. But, I think Bernie Sanders showed that it is at least viable to form a wing in an existing party and have an effect on the platform even if your preferred party candidate loses. I think this is what the green party needs to do: become a wing of the democratic party. And I think anyone who wants to have a political voice in the U.S. needs to either work to change how we vote and how our representatives are selected (good luck with that), or work within one of the two parties in some way.

The book looks good, but they are charging $82.80 for the ebook(on Amazon[0] and on publisher Bloomsbury)-- I have to ask, are they serious? Is the book really worth that much? Most non-fiction books sell around 15-20$ (or cheaper), why the high price?

Either the publisher wants to gouge students who will be forced to buy it, or they want to force the book to flop by artificially setting a very high price

When I first moved to Thailand, it seemed to me the colors were much more vibrant here than in Northern Europe. And even after living here for 5 years now, I still appreciate this often. Greens are more green, blues are more blue, etc...

I'm guessing it has to do with the position of the sun relative to the earth / how sunlight enters the earths atmosphere.

Just seeing these more vibrant colors have the effect of lifting my mood a bit.

Just last week I heard somewhere that colors in New Zealand are very vibrant as well. I've never been there, so not sure how it compares to Thailand, but perhaps it's true.

If you want people to take the stairs you might make the elevator stay at the top floors so that people always have to press the call elevator button, they might choose to walk up instead of waiting.

If you want people to eat less animal based proteins you can make vegan options the default for catering/meal options with meat only available as a option you can request. Some people will take whatever is the default.

You want more organ donations you make being a organ donor the default with a option to opt-out.

The goal is to make the desired option the easiest way out so most people will avoid the cognitive work of doing what they would actually prefer if they thought about it.
There's no censorship/prohibition of content going on, unless you consider opt-ins censorship. I do not.

I'm curious about how you feel about Google Image's SafeSearch being turned on by default. Is it also worthy of such ire?
There is a famous if possibly apocryphal study where random people were asked to rate various toaster colors, and everybody swooned over lime green and hot pink and whatnot.

It bothers me that the graphviz algorithms almost always feel to me doing a poor job of laying out nodes. Like here in the neato layout you have both nodes overlapping eachother and edges overlapping with nodes, both which should be avoidable, and in fdp there is also some overlap and additionally RI and WA placements are "wrong" (non-planar). sfdp is just a mess, and twopi is even worse. Is there any software that works better?

I realize that this might be fundamentally difficult problem, but it just feels odd that there hasn't been much improvement in this area.

Does conversion tracking require you to track your users (a la google analytics), or is it actually just a pseudo'anonymous' parameter when visiting a website (like referrer could be, if advertisers hadn't killed it).

And even then, advertising without tracking worked just fine without internet.
It's not about car-free life. It's about dense cities being terrible places to live unless you're at a level of wealth high enough to isolate yourself from the poverty, crime, noise, etc in a secure luxury apartment in an upmarket area.

IMHO, big cities are dying, they're a relic of the past. The Internet had already killed physical retail. The pandemic killed off more businesses while WFH workers fled the cities. Soft-on-crime policy trends seem to be hastening the decline.

And in a digitally connected world there's simply fewer reasons to physically pack ever more people into small spaces.
Doesn't NYC get heavier rain than London though. London just gets gray skies and drizzle most days of the week, without much precipitation. NYC gets a few days of heavy rain then lots of sun.

NYC is also over 1000 miles closer to the equator than London is. People forget how far north the UK is, the vast majority of the population in Quebec lives further south than the most southern point in the UK.

> At the same time in Europe you go to a nude beach and there are whole families with kids and literally nobody has problems with it.

Well ok: if you specifically go to a nude beach, I'd expect you'd see naked people and nobody going there having any issue with it. That's why it's called a "nude beach" right?

But they're not common. In France where I go the most often, out of 8 kilometers of beaches on the district, there's like 100 meters (1/100th of the coastal area) where nudism is allowed. And it's not even on a beach: it's all rocks. The town hall picked that one spot, far away from the beaches, to isolate the nudists. It's tiny. There may be a few famous nudists spots around the country but they're not common.

Still France: there are only two cases I can think of where a woman showing its nipples in public is considered normal and that'd be monokini on the beach (but not full nudism) and breastfeeding. You don't see women walking topless in the streets.

Monokini on the beaches is allowed everywhere in France as far as I know but it's way less common to actually see women in monokini than it used to be when I was a kid in the eighties.

Safari requires MacOS and thus isn't a replacement unless you exclusively use Macs. Also, for all its supposed support of privacy features it doesn't allow you to use good ad blocking plugins like uBlock Origin. I only use the thing because it's the best for battery life, otherwise I think it's significantly inferior to both Chromium and Firefox.

Beats me. I just ran the Perl to convert the list of tubes to the neato format and it made them both green. Maybe I generated the images and then later fixed a bug in the generation? I could probably check but I'd have to resurrect Trac from 18 years ago and ... uh.

Yes, the wood telegraph in the article is a good example of this. Because of wood’s texture, it contains a bunch of colors from red to yellow when you look at it at the pixel level. It’s more colorful than an iPhone, but the variety of pixels alone gives the impression that it’s more colorful than it is.

>electricity prices at £0.66/kWh ($0.80)

At this price (20x of solar cost in sunny regions) solar panels even in UK look like a great business. A square meter panel costs $200 and generates 200 watt. Say only half - 100 watt - in UK. That is 0.64kWh per 8 hour day. I.e. $0.50/day at those prices - basically a crypto level of ROI - 400 days. Wind, especially in the ocean, is even better.

I wonder if the current energy crisis - and thus the resulting increased prices providing much better ROI for green investment - would move the world to green economy more than anything else before. In some paradoxical sense Russia attacking Ukraine is what may prove to be the biggest driver for greening of our civilization.
Many Europeans live happy and fulfilled lives and die peacefully never having innovated or become wealthy. Perhaps that's not a European measurement.
Of course. "Think of the children" is the apex of hypocrisy.

If the US (and American tech companies) cared at all about children, or human life in general, they would do something about guns.

As a European, seeing videos on YT glorifying guns and gun culture is extremely shocking. I would let my kids run around naked all day, anytime, rather than letting them watch one video showing people firing an AR-15 like it's the most normal thing in the world.

No, not really. Early gnome was a joke compared to KDE, in that while KDE could be actually used as desktop, gnome was helloworldware.
From the other perspective: democratically elected representatives banning harmful chemicals used in children's toys vs. private companies reading and censoring your conversations.

Not all "protections" are the same.
The reason for that seems obvious to me. Grey, steel, white and black will work in basically every kitchen. If you want a more colorful pallet in any room in your house, then you need to put a lot more thought into planning it. I think most people aren’t highly motivated to do that.
But why do you collect IP addresses, what's the point in doing so. Your services can most likely be configured to not log IP addresses, so simply turn it off?
I suppose it depends on how you define "everyday life", but in digital image processing, derivatives can be used as a relatively simple method for edge detection.

For example, the Sobel and Prewitt operators (1st derivative) and the Laplacian operator (2nd derivative) can be used as filter kernels to detect edges in images.
Apple designed their system so that they don't have access to the scan data or the scan results.

Google is scanning everything in your Google Drive on server, and that data can be accessed and abused by anyone willing to issue a warrant.

Just one question, as suggested by the title: the rust compiler itself could be made portable using this? I guess not, because of its use of multi-threading.
I'm at +45° north and it should work fine here (I'm basing all my assumptions on where I live). It most definitely wouldn't work in Sweden and Norway, but France and maybe even northern Germany should be fine?
But yeah, lets ban more normal/natural stuff.

Quite literally nothing has been banned here.

I struggle to believe that you read and understood this article before sharing this view. This is an opt-in feature, specifically for use with the existing parental control system, that enables pretty light-touch and overridable prompts if a child receives something that looks like nudity. It's clearly targeted at unsolicited nude pictures being sent to children, and differential cultural views on public nudity have essentially zero relevance to that.

Now instead of an interesting discussion about this feature—why it might be good or bad, the privacy or social implications of it, and so on—we just have a chain of fucking nonsense comments unrelated to it.
> re-emission in valance holes

Are you talking about single-colour LEDs? Since white LEDs use a "phosphor", just like fluorescent lights, that convert blue or UV light. In fact I thought that the phosphors used by LEDs today are much better than those used by fluorescent lights.

Maybe you're talking about RGB lights, which combine separate reg, green and blue LEDs so that the colour mix can be changed. But even then I thought, unlike lasers, LEDs are not using single frequencies but relatively wide bands (but will still leave gaps between the red, green and blue colours).
