In addition to the physical things mentioned elsewhere, the Quarterback is the brains of the team during a play. They get the ball, and need to have very rapid situational awareness & risk assessments to choose who throw the ball to depending on where openings are appearing or not. This is very difficult.

The running patterns the receivers follow are pre determined, but who gets the pass is not. You need to determine, who is open, where will be they be in x seconds, will the defensive line hold or is someone going to knock you down before the pass, is there a good opening to just run for it yourself instead of passing, etc.

Media companies are not the government, and they do not have a legal responsibility to promulgate all views. In the case where a majority of the medical community perceives that misinformation and disinformation is directly leading to people dying, media companies may feel they have a moral obligation to publish the scientific mainstream over the fringes.

The same goes for political coverage. Fox News is within their rights not to broadcast Senate hearings featuring multiple conservative Republicans alleging that Donald Trump attempted to overthrow the democratically elected government.

What Trump attempted on January 6th was treason against the United States. What Fox News promulgates is merely media content to sell advertising space.
I think there's something profoundly beautiful about teenagers living in tin roof shacks on the other side of the world from kids living in million dollar houses doing the same dances/memes/etc, as if they are equal peers. Maybe there's something for us adults to learn here?
Yeah, it sounds a little like herd mentality, where people make emotional rather than rational decisions. If a few people are loud and screaming for us to do X, people are influenced to do X. It could be part of our survival mechanism.
Maybe that's a fair comparison.

With no ill-intent I put forth: Would you say the same if the headline had been "company silences white male voices"?

The reason it could be perceived as a corollary is that Islam is a considerably dominant religion globally, the Palestinian fight is uniquely mired in religious ideology on both sides (even if there is definitely more to it than that).

It's a nitpick mostly put in place to try to fend off a nit-picky reply of "Well OP said <10% and the article says <11% so OP is still wrong".
Note that the paper is from 1976. $2000 at 1976 is totally different in value than it's today.
If the total value of the network is O(n log(n)) then the value per user is only O(log(n)). So comparing a 2 million user network with a 1 million user network, if the second one is on a product that is 10% better, users should find switching an improvement.
I can't believe I'm defending some random New York Post author, but that's not what's happening here. The article is deliberately employing a rant-like, tongue-in-cheek agony aunt style and sharing open-ended observations based on shared life experience and the natural intuition of the reader.

It is not meant to be analyzed like a formal logic paper. There is no real data to verify since it concerns abstract values over trillions of human interactions, yet that does not mean it is not a worthwhile contribution. There are plenty of articles like this but there's nothing inherently wrong with employing this discursive style.
Even if they don't allow any apps to run, the cellphone company will know your general location... There is 2 OS on your phone/pocket computer.

C isn't very good at type correctness. In a lot of languages if I call F(some_array) it passes the array, in C it passes... A pointer to the first element in the array. C programmers, like a dog whose master kicks it when he's drink, are used to this, but it's not actually good.

For this behaviour to be ergonomic you need consistent type correctness. A language which thinks 5 is true is already shaky about types, let alone one which thinks arrays are pointers.
>..copper shortage in the second world war...

Steel wheat pennies, and more interestingly, .35 silver nickels (1942-1945).

Today, spot for 1oz of copper is 0.21 while silver is around 18.00

In the 1980s and around 2011, silver reached a spot price of near 50.00 per oz. It's been as low 4.00 per oz.

I think the record high for copper was 5.00 per pound in 2021. Not certain though.

Metal markets, particularly silver, are strange.
It can mean government control over all IXPs in the country (including DPI hardware and a killswitch), and legal mandate for all ISPs in the country to use only government-controlled IXPs.

Is Graal VM a silver bullet?
Ignoring startup times, will Graal VM out perform classic JVM (IBM/Oracle etc').
I guess the optimization of the classic JVM are hard to beat.
Also, cross compile is not working with Graal VM (which makes it harder to deploy than a good old Jar file).
That’s not why they were fired. It was for non performance.
Virt-Manager it's a must over Qemu, too. I mean, scripts are nice, but qemu has zillions of options.

Also:

QEMU is still amazing even without KVM; KVM is just a performance improvement for native platforms.

But with QEMU you can emulate extremely exotic CPUs on standard x86's; that's the stuff that Console Emulators struggled with immensely!

I'd agree with that. The rules and regulations that are in place in the United States would make the founding fathers weep, by their existence alone and that they're open to use to targeting people in a way that does not speak to equal justice for all.

It did come out, it was real, and had real emails from Hunter being a total idiot trying to use his Dad to make connections and get paid. It also had nudes and drug use and other embarrassing dumb shit.

It is just a distraction though. Everyone knows Hunter has problems and it had nothing to harm Biden’s character if you are an independent third party looking at the evidence.

So… this bugs me when it becomes the rally point for “censorship”. Give me a break.
From Bellard the things I like most are the "toy" projects. Qemu, tinyemu and such began like that.
He said it "could be more", and seems to be trying to sort out the lead time for when he does commit to the order. Having not specified the color seems akin to not actually consummating the order for cedar siding, but that ultimately depends on the mutual understanding regarding what constitutes a "custom order" is. It seems like unstained cedar siding is something the supplier stocks, not cut to a specific length or anything, and therefore the they didn't incur additional costs from relying on the prospective order.

There is a sharp difference between invoices and quotes. And the samples actually indicate that the order had not been agreed to yet.

The overall situation reads like the customer was unhappy with the quality of lumber [0], and wished to cancel subsequent business rather than try to compel specific performance for an acceptable quality. The supplier, rather than simply accepting this and going their opposite ways (and/or responding with a specific penalty amount for canceling the half-completed order), then attempted to compel specific performance on the remaining part of the quote. I'm sure glad I don't live in a jurisidction where calling that type of pushy business practice "fraudulent" might land me in court.

[0] Having just used Home Depot's bring-the-lumber-pile-to-your-driveway service, that then took over a month to pick up the rejects, which for some things was all of what was ordered, I completely identify with.

Sure! I hope "other people are idiots" is a helpful model for you.

I find much more value in the view that a great product is the confluence of millions of tiny, apparently inconsequential decisions. It seems completely believable that if the product developers are successful, I as the consumer would struggle to reverse engineer what all of those decisions are by looking at the finished product.
> Storing hydrogen at scale seems insanely difficult

Yes, it's difficult, but at least in Germany hydrogen is considered as the most likely carbon-free fuel for trucks.

> desalinating water wouldn't let you use the energy later.

Storing desalinated water shouldn't be difficult, you can fill up lakes.

> like pumping water up hill and holding it behind a hydroelectric dam.

That would make sense as a backup for an unreliable power source like wind, but probably not for nuclear power.

What is very shocking to me is that he has now said that if he were elected, he would issue pardons to the US Capitol attackers.

With "incitement to violence", there's a certain amount of ambiguity around causality. But a pardon is an intentional, public broadcast and I cannot understand how people would still support him or thinks he's a savior.
I agree. I just think it's a missed opportunity for the government to keep the status quo indefinitely.

That's unfortunate, we could use healthy competition between desktop environments.

With respect to distros picking a conservative default, it does look like Red Hat Enterprise Linux ships with GNOME Classic by default, so perhaps that's one way to address that point.
Distortion, overdrive, and the 808 are all examples off the top of my head of folk analog audio.

The former two tend to use the imperfection of diodes leaking to create varying degrees of fuzz (really clipping) based on placement. It fakes pushing an amp past it’s thresholds.

The latter abused chips that failed QA as the source of noise. They can’t make “real” ones anymore, since the chip is out of production. This one’s from my memory and the description may be flawed.

In both cases, abusing electronics’ imperfections is the goal.

Important context: Credit cards are still much less common in Germany, and banks are not exactly very consumer-friendly when it comes to processing chargebacks.

Anyone paying a flight ticket with a non-disputable payment method (or one where the reversal period times out after 8 weeks, such as SEPA direct debit) is pretty much at the mercy of the airline voluntarily (or through legal action) returning the money. I've been waiting for 10 months for a similar reimbursement now...

When the country's second-largest airline went bankrupt in 2017, many banks refused to file chargebacks due to legal uncertainty around whether doing so might be considered unlawful interference with the bankruptcy proceedings. (The bankruptcy manager fueled these by actually sending out invoices supporting that claim.)

In the context of credit/most debit card paid tickets, this is largely a non-issue, since cancelled flights (in addition to merchant bankruptcy) are usually explicitly covered under the "service not provided" chargeback provisions of the schemes.
