I'd ask myself another set of questions:
- can they extract information from conversations and exfiltrate it in a stealthy or obfuscated enough way so that they won't be noticed or have plausible deniability
- do they have incentives to do so (assuming the absence of liability described above)
- do they have a track record on related topics that makes you confident in the fact that they wouldn't act that way

My answers being yes - yes - no, the question of 'do they listen to target the ads they try to make me display' is pretty irrelevant to me. I can't trust them not to nor check reliably if they do.

If you try to address a different question such as 'do they really encrypt reliably to protect your conversations from being snooped on without their authorization', the threat analysis may differ. In that case they have incentives aligned with yours and are probably faithfully trying to effectively protect your/their data.

At the end, I'd estimate the probability of the scenario and how I value the consequent loss of privacy. Then accept/mitigate/refuse the risk accordingly.
There are some other premium Chromebooks. Google started things off with the Pixelbook, which it appears they are now discontinuing. HP and Samsung have produced some high end Chromebooks.

They're a niche market: C-level executives at companies that use Chromebooks, developers at those companies, Linux fans who will mostly use the Chromebook to run Linux apps. They make more economic sense as an adaptation of a laptop that is already being sold for other markets rather than as a dedicated product.

The Pixelbook line never did enough volume for Google to make money on it. It was a proof of concept, a way of showing that a Chromebook didn't have to just mean a low end and cheaply built Acer or the like, but could be something that higher end users would happily use and not be ashamed to be seen with when they do a presentation. Now that other companies are making premium Chromebooks, there is no longer a need for Google to produce them.
I always thought the point of the template language was more to enforce the boundary of presentation and code. and thus any template language that grows too powerful is a bad template language, because it's no longer doing the one job it has. So I think a template language should have loops, (non mutable) variables and basic conditions, that's it. So if there's something you can't do in your template that you want to do, the solution then isn't to write some sort of hideous thing in a bespoke templating language, but to add another variable/loop/whatever to the template.

Of course this requires coordination and the larger the organization, the more this is going to slow things down. I also don't think this separation is as important on frontend javascript code, since the lines get blurry there anyway.
In this article the author claims to have talked to American Airlines about it:

>American Airlines inspected the Boeing 737-800 as well as the P.A. system itself after these reports. They tell me that maintenance “determined the sounds were caused by an issue with the PA amplifier. There was no external access to the system.”

The real question is how long do these results last. There are plenty of short term trials but you’d expect that people work extra hard during these trials and then eventually give up and work as hard as before but 4 days.
It really makes everything 100x more difficult. Especially in a cognitively intensive field. Completely killed my aspirations of being a Lawyer. I simply just could not keep up. Graduated with a terrible undergrad GPA. I was just so tired I couldn't really use my brain. Then basically limped over the finish line even though before my symptoms started I could crush reading materials.

So it can definitely be a barrier for certain career choices. Luckily working in software remotely has afforded me a lot of accomodations. I truly don't know what other field I could be in that would simultaneously be flexible enough to accomodate my disability and also lucrative. Im glad I live now!
I would have probably ended up Homeless if I was born 60 years ago.

I'm medicated now so a lot of my symptoms are not as bad as they used to be. I am able to drive and no longer suffer from "sleep attacks" but there was a point before my diagnosis when I was so tired I could fall asleep while driving and not even notice. Very dangerous and a very scary experience. Most days I had to take naps every 90 minutes or so and self medicated with approximately 1g of caffeine a day.

Have you tried to create a fine tuned model to see if it helps?
Not really. This actually provides useful properties in practice, though you should still probably not rely on that.
React and Docker are both almost a decade old (both released in 2013). TypeScript is from 2012. Functional programming is very, very far from being a modern concept even if it's (maybe, finally?) getting a bit more attention.
Take a half hr everyday to think not about the nitty-gritty of everyday stuff but about one level above.

This could be:
- Areas where you can improve &/or learn
- How can I climb up the Corp ladder?
- Where can I add value that no one else can add

Sometimes it helps to take a step back and look at the bigger picture
There are three different things here:

- The keychain is an essential part of macOS and iOS; if an application wants to securely save data then that is the interface it uses. This is not optional because a huge proportion of applications would break if it were removed.

- iCloud Keychain is the feature of iCloud that syncs your keychain to iCloud. iCloud itself is opt-in, and this particular feature of iCloud is opt-in as well, I think, or at the very least optional even if you use iCloud.

- Safari has a built-in password manager, like every other browser these days. This saves to the keychain, whether that’s synced or not.
> lower case, battle royale is just an expression in English that anybody is free to use to describe a conflict that had some aspect of getting out of control.

Anybody is free to use any word in way they want. However, using words in common ways will help prevent confusion. For example, "battle royale" (or "battle royal") is mainly used to refer to "A fight involving three or more individuals, teams, or factions; fought until one person, team, or faction is left standing" (from Wiktionary). Using battle royale to mean something else will lead to confusion among most English speakers.

> but in this incident they were organized in teams

And this particular discussion about the article was about the misuse of the term Battle Royale, specifically the use of term to describe combat with two teams instead of many.
But, conversely, why should someone take a risk of stabilizing a piece of fluff that nobody actually claims? It's not just that this wastes their time - those standards will be for us for decades to come. Just look at the mess that is POSIX by now.

No it didn't.

From two googlings,

avg home consumption daily : 30kwh

Avg EV consumption per 100mi : 30kwh

That is about a third of a typical modern vehicle range.

Sounds like an adequate amount for your needs, but what you really should do is install passive solar heating like a thermal mass. If you're in Santa Fe then you already know the what and how. There's about 325 days of sunshine over there
Say your code has two strings "split pea" and "pea soup". In the binary file, you can overlap the suffix of the first with the prefix of the second to form "split pea soup": the "pea" is shared, and this reduces both memory usage and binary size.

"split pea soup" is called a superstring of "split pea" and "pea soup" because it contains them both. An optimal superstring packs strings as closely as possible, and its construction is a moderately well-studied problem. This is the best paper I found: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0304397588...

After implementation I found that "optimal superstrings" compress poorly because the string ranges are unpredictable, and I later did some work to make the string ranges compress better even if the superstring gets longer.

The Hermes superstring optimization was time unwisely spent but is pretty cool anyways, and I don't know of any other work in this area. Check it out: https://github.com/facebook/hermes/blob/main/lib/BCGen/HBC/C...

Loook at thr graph, still below 2020 production. Biden has said many times and taken actions against the oil industry.
As I understand it, most US refiners in the gulf region are tuned for heavier/sourer crudes than is produced domestically. I'm not entirely sure why that is (maybe a historical artifact due to prevalence of those grades in Latin America?), but the result is that we generally want to import crudes for refining.

Which is to say: the light/sweet crudes produced domestically are not the ideal feedstocks for our refiners, so restricting exports of those wouldn't necessarily increase supply of refined products.

Buy a small EV for everyday trips and rent another car for road trips. Nobody in our car culture, where people drive F150s just in case they need them; nobody is going to do that, but environmentally it'd be much preferable to everybody getting a big Tesla weighing several tons.

Financially it works out for a couple of road trips a year, not so much if you're doing it a couple of times a month.
I'm guessing the visitors' guide is a placard at the castle or something? Can't find any notes about it online, and googling the quote only brings me the wiki article and this comment. There should be a better citation for that quote.

Brittanica also states the article was purchased and not fact checked yet, but at least it has an author who seems credible. Still wish original sources of info were mentioned in either case.

Earliest thing translated to English I can find is wiki's [16], a translation of a 14c poem. It mentions capturing them and some parole, but not execution or ransoming (unless ransoms were part of their parole. Looking it up, at the time parole would have meant an agreement to be let free but never again engage in combat).

Either way it looks like Sir Robert Knolles went on to lead an assault on Northern France 19 years later. so that's at least one who wasn't executed.

The recent movie "The Last Duel" featured a duel to the death by two knights. I thought the fight sequence was good, but was amazed to learn it was historically accurate. Observers at the time had actually documented the fight blow by blow, and the movie hewed to it.

So if you want to see a best effort recreation of how two heavily armored knights would fight, watch it!
-Charge your car at work in the sun and use it to power your home at night.

This doesn't make any sense. If you don't need the capacity, why do you wanna carry a ton of battery everywhere with you wasting energy? Buy a smaller battery for the car. Keep another battery installed at home. The battery at home is also more flexible to draw power at the optimal time for the grid.

Not to mention that this constant charging and recharging would decrease the lifetime of the battery, causing more environmentally unfriendly waste and inefficiency.
Is hourly pricing the norm in Denmark?
And the total worldwide use of electricity is 22,848 TWh/year, (according to the IEA [0]). So that would be 5Wh/day * 1 billion phones * 366 days = 1,830 TWh = 0.0008% of world electricity consumption.

Getting data about peak hour usage is much harder, but I would wager it's at most as much of that. So yes, completely insignificant at a large scale.

If anything, the biggest impact will come to individual consumers, if and when electricity prices start varying more widely across times of day.

The reason for minimizing casualties was the armies consisted of paid mercenaries. Mercenaries had no interest in dying in combat, so it was maneuver to get the other side into a bad position, then they capitulate.

This all changed with conscription. Now, commanders could command vast armies of conscripts who were forced to fight, and the slaughter was/is tremendous.

Isn't it very obvious that the US government has a vested interested in software security? I see no reason whatsoever to believe that this is some sly attempt to make FOSS more expensive as opposed to the US trying to solve a very real problem.
Interesting. I heard similar sounds from a rather big French train station speakers recently. For me it looks like it’s just a bug from the amplification system.
I think that's down to the way it has remembered/saved your search as I get a similar behaviour with "Camera" and "Turn off camera access systemwide" -- "c", "ca", and "came" suggest the Camera app and "cam", "camer", and "camera" suggest the system setting.

I use both of these, and it looks like Windows has remembered I select one or the other at a given point, so is saving that suggestion.

It also likely has built in associations for the default applications (notepad, camera, etc.) that you've overridden by selecting notepad++ at those points. If you select/locate notepad++ at the other positions, I wonder if it will start suggesting that instead.

> “The bullet is coming down so slowly, and at about a 48-degree angle, it was just penetrating into the ground without kicking up dust.”

I have no shooting experience, but the arc they have to put into the shot to travel 4.4 miles (~7 km), seems so counter-intuitive to what I associate with shooting. Really impressive work by this team, to have all this calculated out so that they can hit it within 69 shots.

I'm really curious what the success rate of their shot is. From the video, it sounds like the unsuccessful shots were still relatively close by, enough that they seemed confident in being able to still guide it in, so around 1/100 sounds about right, as a crude prior estimate.

Half the time I bang out 'c-m-d-<enter>' to open a command prompt and I either get nothing or a program that doesn't contain any of 'c' 'm' or 'd' in its name.

The article that OP posted, for example, is a shallow application of the Wire's insight onto software engineering. The solution it recommend is to try to be more aware about gaming metrics, which is as useful in the long run as the phrase "don't be evil". It's telling that most of the comments here don't invoke the article and instead are talking about their own interpretations of the Wire.
