EVs are just marketing, they not much more efficient than gas cars, it just moves the energy source from fossil fuels to...well, nuclear at best, or centralized fossil fuel generators at worst. You are not fixing global warming with EV cars.

A small, dirty, gas moped is way more efficient, cheaper and green than the greenest EV car.

The real revolution is electric bicycles, unsurprisingly one of the most popular means of transportation in China. I saw an excellent graph that I can't find at the moment, which shows that a human on a bicycle is 10 times more efficient than the most efficient biological locomotion known (that of fish).
There was one, back before the great clearing of interesting search engines that Google brought about. I forget its name but I used it for code searches.
They already know people who are trying to access signal without a proxy, so I don't think this would make a significant difference. Also note that from the Signal Blog post above:

----

The Signal client establishes a normal TLS connection with the proxy, and the proxy simply forwards any bytes it receives to the actual Signal service. Any non-Signal traffic is blocked. Additionally, the Signal client still negotiates its standard TLS connection with the Signal endpoints through the tunnel.

This means that in addition to the end-to-end encryption that protects everything in Signal, all traffic remains opaque to the proxy operator.

Magnetosphere of planet like Jupiter or Saturn is the most radioactive place in solar system... Also energies (delta V) needed to travel between Jupiter moons are greater, than those needed for travel between solar planets.

Thinking about climate change as an increase of mean temperature is misleading. And this is such a case.

While the mean temperature rises, e.g. by 1 centigrade, you have to account for variance increasing too.

India might become unlivable not because the mean temperature rises, but because extreme, deadly events will become standard during certain periods of the year.
Yes, there is a standard called PICMG used in “portable/luggable computer” industry - oscilloscope-shaped PCs for field uses. Kontron and Advantech seems to be major suppliers there.
Really? So eating just potatoes and oats would give you enough protein for optimal development?

Protein is the only macronutrient that was shown to increase child height. Fats and carbs do not seem to have an effect on child height.

It's a known phenomena that when eg Japanese parents move to US their children grow taller than their Japanese peers, even though both parents are Japanese.

Obviously it's hard to say if protein is the only cause in this, it could also be others. Some people "blame" growth hormones in milk, no idea if that has any merit to it.

But the point is: nutrition DOES affect child height to a certain degree, not just the genes of the parents.
And that is why C has the "restrict" keyword, which you should use in precisely such cases
> Possibly. In most blind tests, for shots straight out of the camera, people prefer the Google Pixel photos to iPhone photos.

People tend to favor shots that are punchy and high contrast, as far as I can tell from the many blind tests various youtubers have performed over the years.

From my viewpoint, iPhones have almost always had better color processing straight out of the camera as it is much closer to true to life than Samsung or Google's. Google's image processing in other areas seems to be better. Low light continues to not be that great on iPhone, which is a big use case while the Pixel excels at it. Denoising isn't great. The iPhone can also tend to lose some fine details that are present in Google's photos.

Overall, I think Apple's photos are more accurate and serve better as a baseline to edit photos, but Pixel wins out in many common scenarios that the iPhone just doesn't do as well along with having a more pleasing image straight out of the camera (because most people want to look better than real life, not like real life).

Streetcars are not as versatile. They are mainly for inner city. And changing routes will be expensive.
I simply believe Apple/Microsoft were circling Figma for an acquisition. That would be serious competition for Adobe and I imagine they got scared and threw the kitchen sink at Figma.

If you're Apple or Microsoft PM. Please make internal noise to purchase a Figma competitor like Sketch and give Adobe/Figma a run for it money. Adobe clearly doesn't like competition.
Some of them are old, which is sometimes a sign of sloppy maintainers.

But only sometimes. Some people grow angry when PRs are rejected, so some maintainers leave PRs "open" forever instead of rejecting them formally.
I think their point is that the best and brightest have a normal distribution across the world. Irrespective of how bright you are it is an incredibly unlikely event that _all_ these people will be able to have access or funds to start their university at 'elite' universities. Information and monetary assymetry is a thing.

To your point at least in the UK there is a sea of Italian academics from Bologna/Milan/Padua/Torino pursuing further studies or research positions in Oxbridge and other 'Golden Triangle' universities.

Having experienced average universities in my undergrad studies and 'elite' universities as a postgrad I have to seriously agree with GP:

> most great professors in important universities excel at funding, not teaching

The differentiating factor is that elite universities have a halo effect that makes it far more likely to secure funding. This allows for more ambitious projects and equally enables them to attract top talent.
I hope that if someone writes a book saying people should physically harm you (yes, specifically you by name and picture) then you will not ask for that person to be put on jail -arguably the worst kind of ban possible- or say anything to stop that book from continuing being published, otherwise you would be an hypocrite for not really following your logic in which words should have no consequences for their authors.
I remember that kind of thrill. For a while I ran a tool for Etsy before they had an API, circa 2007. What they did have was AMFPHP, powering their flash toys (treasury, etc). I used it to allow sellers to see their sales stats.

Even went to the Etsy office in Brooklyn at one point and had a chat about it. I think some of the team was a bit bemused that I'd essentially extracted a large amount of data. But they took forever to get to the point of having an actual API (and I was one of the early users of this as well).

Eventually it became unsustainable and I shut it down, but it sure was fun having people be passionate about using it and sharing it.
IMO the worst side effect of current web of knowledge is what I'd call the illusion of knowledge. When it was more difficult to access and publish information, that imposed a much higher bar on what was being consumed. These days, people watch a 10-minute YouTube video or read a reddit comment or twitter thread and believe (perhaps unconsciously) that makes them knowledgeable in said topic. They will then, in an absolutely confident tone, display their expertise by answering questions and stating their opinion as if it was
a fact. More people read this, and the cycle begins.

You see it all the time on HN and other forums. If you're an actual expert in a specific (usually scientific) subfield and you read comments about an article in that field, you find that a large percentage are not just factually wrong, but also written in an extremely confident tone by people who have probably studied the topic for about 10 minutes.

By having easy access to all this information people have stopped being humble about what they don't know.
While it maybe should be that way it definitely is not in my experience.

In my experience if you have done a postdoc/PhD at e.g. Stanford people will look much less thoroughly at your publication record. I've actually argued in committees that a candidate from a less prestigious school should be reranked higher than a candidate from a prestigious school, because they had a much better publication record. The interesting thing was once I brought this up in the discussion, most people agreed. However in their own ranking they had put the person from the prestigious school higher, which indicates to me that this is an unconscious bias.
Well, obviously they will do the responsible thing and clean up all their hazardous wastes before they migrate north.
My 98 inch “monitor” is mounted on the wall

And yes, the bottom is mounted well below my desk’s surface height
Note this whole discussion is in the context of the 4090. If you're an enthusiast, soldering the GPU to the mobo forces you to spend $200-$700 more every time you upgrade your GPU because you also have to buy a new mobo and possibly a new CPU if the socket changed.

The GPU is also one of the easiest components to swap today. That's not something I want to give up unless I see performance improvements. Cooling doesn't count because I already have an external radiator attached to my open-frame "case".

I went through 3 GPUs before changing motherboards and I'm still bottlenecked on my 3090, not my 5800X3D. After I get a 4090, I expect to upgrade it at least once before getting a new mobo.

> Who is David Wadhwani, the person Figma is going to report to? (...) A little further research shows he joined Adobe in June 2021, just over a year ago. His last position prior was Venture Partner at venture capital firm Greylock. (...) Greylock invested in Figma in Series A, B, C, D, and E! Figma Series A’s price was $0.2 per share; it 200x’ed at the acquisition deal.

Even if he didn't personally invest in Figma, this doesn't look good at all.

I believe self-driving cars will partly solve this. Instead of waiting for a bus that leaves every 15 minutes, there is a car leaving every 30 seconds.

Instead of buying a car, you pay for a subscription. Instead of taking your own car you call a car to come at your house and pick you up.

Less cars standing parked at the parking lots at the office 8-10 hours a day. Less cars parked at the grocery stores. Less cars parked at home.

Less cars needed to be built to transport the same amount of people as today.

Regarding "4 seconds wasted" per visit: HTTP Archive also publishes real-user performance data from Google, and only 10% of desktop websites take 4 seconds or more to load. (And I think that's not the average experience but the 75th percentile.) https://httparchive.org/reports/chrome-ux-report#cruxSlowLcp

The Google data uses Largest Contentful Paint instead of Speed Index, but the two metrics ultimately try to measure the same thing. Both have pros and cons. Speed Index goes up if there are ongoing animations (e.g sliders). LCP only looks at the single largest content element.

When looking at the real-user LCP data over time, keep in mind that changes are often due to changes in the LCP definition (e.g opacity 0 elements used to count but don't any more). https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs...

> one of the most exciting forms of science.

Not to me, I'm afraid. Suppose we detect CO2, methane and ammonia in the atmosphere of some exoplanet tens of lightyears away. Hell, suppose we detect definite evidence of life. What difference is that going to make to anything? We couldn't launch a probe that could get there in a lifetime, going at half the speed of light. We certainly couldn't get the probe back again. You'd need a generation ship to get people there.

I'm quite sure there's life out there. I'm also fairly sure that very little of the life out there is organised for (or interested in) interstellar travel; and for most destinations, that life would have evolved by the time of arrival, and the space-traveller would be something that can only live in space. A civilisation that can build a rocket has existed on Earth for only a few decades, and might only last a few decades longer.

We could certainly send a probe to Proxima Centauri. Our great-grandchildren could record the results, if they'd spent two lifetimes keeping the probe in contact and under control (fairly boring astronomy career: maintain contact with a spaceship that was launched before you were born, and won't arrive before your grandchildren have died).
His beef is that his project was viable competition. The design market and the purchase price made it clear that was not true.

I don't think they paid too much. It will give Adobe 10 more years of subscriptions without effort. Without Figma, they would be reduced to metrics software (in 10 years).
Too obvious if an interlocutor is an engineer. Too severe if an interlocutor is a woman.
As far as I can tell, this is just an article from Stripe about Braintrust using Stripe Connect for USDC payouts. This doesn't seem to be an actual product by Stripe. Braintrust is managing the platform but using Stripe for payouts. Agreed, I haven't heard of Braintrust or their token either which would make me cautious were I to use the platform.

If every startup uses something, it's not a positive thing as then they are near peak revenue. Their revenue is $400m, and 50x multiplier in late stage is exceptional.

For canva and other small companies, I would give higher valuation to revenue multiplier.
In an email from Adobe, they said "While we have been reducing our investment in XD, we will continue to support it." which means Figma has won. XD will be killed once people have switched to Figma. They didn't pay $20 billion to kill an app that's used by more people than XD.

> Who do they define as a candidate?

A political candidate is one who is a member of a political party and is running for a public office or has already been elected to such offices in the past. (Yes, I am discounting independent candidates as they are a minor aberration that, in my opinion, shouldn't be allowed in mature democracies). Whether the democratic system is presidential or parliamentary, political parties are one of the common institutions and base political units that are part of a democratic political system.

> If I'm running for student council would it apply to me?

No, since it is not a public office. This law is targeted to protect the free speech rights and political views of active politicians and elected representatives. For example, Twitter, under pressure from the current right-wing government of India deliberately tried to sabotage the social media outreach of an elected Member of Parliament and an opposition leader:

“I want to bring your attention to what I believe is Twitter’s unwitting complicity in curbing free and fair speech in India,” Mr. Gandhi wrote in the letter to the Twitter chief executive, Parag Agrawal. “I have been reliably, albeit discreetly, informed by people at Twitter India that they are under immense pressure by the government to silence my voice.”

(Source: India’s Rahul Gandhi Says His Twitter Following Was Squashed by Modi Government - https://www.wsj.com/articles/indian-opposition-figure-rahul-... ).

The proposed laws can actually protect tech platforms from this kind of government pressure too, which should be welcomed by us.

> Similarly, who is a "journalist"? Anyone can declare they are one.

Just like shouting "I declare bankruptcy" doesn't activate bankruptcy laws in your favour, "declaring" yourself a journalist doesn't make you a journalist in most countries.
I really wish school could some how be completely overhauled to project-based learning. I feel live tests and exams optimize for the wrong thing and in general don’t help anyone except making it easier for schools to score students.

I usually learned the most out of take-home exams. You’d usually need to study and brush up on things, but then having a week to thoroughly work out everything was always a great learning experience. It is a way of the professor saying “you should know this and if not, know how to figure it out”. It was an actually good test of your knowledge and skill and didn’t rely on being able to spit something out in one or two hours in a stressful environment.

I think you’re right that no adult experiences moments like you get in school exams. Almost never are you required to know some relatively arbitrary thing or solve some problem within an hour or teo. There are crunches and moments of needing to fix something quickly and important presentations, but in every case you are presented with something you already know about or have day to day experience with. And failure is usually not some drastic adjustment of your future. If the professor is not good, which is the norm, then exams are a bit of a toss up.

It’s not really possible to say precisely why the stock went down beyond “a certain % of shareholders now believe that the price today is better than it will be whenever they originally intended to sell it.”
If a Java thread is on the CPU, then the CPU is utilized, no matter if the CPU is just waiting for memory.

That is the problem with utilization; you have no clue how busy the CPU actually is. IPC is more useful in these situations.
There seems to be some FUD going on here. The solution to the OP problem is simply to use 301 redirects with Cache-Control headers to limit caching to some reasonably short duration.

It is true that browsers will cache 301 redirects eternally, but only if the server does not supply cache directives to indicate otherwise. For this reason, it is always advisable to include some cache directives in 301 redirect responses, like `Cache-Control: max-age=86400`. I'm surprised that this isn't more universally acknowledged as an important practice.

As far as search engines, there will not be a problem if a URL that used to return a 301 now returns a 200. The web changes, and search engines know that very well.

Add: There also seems to be a lot of confusion about the meaning of permanent. Permanent should not be taken to mean eternal. If I move to a new house, I consider that a permanent move, because I no longer live at the old address. But it would be unreasonable to assume that I will never move again. I might even move back to the original house! Such moves are like permanent redirects; I might have my mail forwarded, but it is not an indelible, eternal change. Temporary redirects (302, 303, 307) are more like leaving a sticky note on the door while you're out running an errand; you have not permanently relocated.
Oddly, no one thinks about the Chromebooks.
If every startup uses something today, it often means that it's just starting to be noticed by large enterprises, and in five years will have spread there too.

There's probably a big untapped market for Figma in boring enterprise software and internal design needs for marketing, etc.

I'd bet that Microsoft was bidding for Figma too. In that light, Adobe's $20B price is a sign of strength because they were able to afford to outbid Microsoft for an extremely strategic acquisition. Adobe isn't taking enormous amounts of expensive new debt to fund this. The stock market's opinion of the deal doesn't affect Adobe's finances directly.

Is this a US only thing? It's certainly not something that has ever bothered me and none of the people I know who attended a university ever mentioned such a thing.

So I think this dictum applies: When a title asks "Why" first ask "If".
It's a sad thing to think of someone's grandchildren one day researching their family tree, and seeing all the blatant lies their family member said on behalf of... of all companies... Facebook. It's hardly the honourable legacy to be "talking head denying the thing that the company did, always does, and always will do".
For anyone else familiar with WebAuthn but confused about the generic term 'passkey' like I was: the author is probably talking about some new Apple feature for IOS. It looks just like regular WebAuthn from what I can tell.
Let's not mistake Coinbase's ability to execute for a lack of user interest. If anything, Coinbase has plenty of failed projects under their belt (and while they are certainly popular in the US, they are not the 'biggest player' by any measure).
Another way of pricing the company is price per customer. Figma sold for $400,000 per paying customer. That seems like a lot to me.
API Hero – Integrate with popular APIs in seconds
It may be solvable, but it's not simple.

The problem is similar to finding paths in a wireless mesh network where links may be obstructed. I've spoken to someone in a team that tried hard, he said that the traffic volume for routing updates grew faster than the size of the network and with their algorithms the limit on the size of the network was disappointingly small. ("Limit" being the approximate size at which the network becomes more concerned with routing itself than with delivering payload traffic.)

Now, if Matrix doesn't try to route around blocks, then blocking Matrix is trivial: ① Identify one or a few servers and block them ② check each packet to/from those and assess the likelihood that the peer is another server ③ add to the block list and go to back to step 2. So I assume Matrix does try, and wonder how.
> It has never been easier to share knowledge, and thus there has never been a greater time to be curious.

It's also never been easier to share disinformation, and pollute the vast sea of actual knowledge that exists on the internet.

Sources of information are silo'd into proprietary closed off gardens run by large corporations who only serve their shareholders. Searching for information has been corrupted by advertisers and the sheer amount of misleading content, that finding reliable sources often feels like searching for a needle in a haystack.

The one exception is Wikipedia, though it also struggles with keeping factual information, and has its own set of issues.
