They do, though. Many factories, railways, transportation hubs, ports, &c operate 24x7. Particularly in countries where manufacturing is the predominant industry.

You can also use nighttime light data to learn about levels and patterns of urban growth. Compare VIIRS imagery for India in 2013 with 2022.

The issue is whether there's a strong correlation between GDP and nighttime light data in all regions. There's a weak correlation (a lot has been published on this) and it's a good tool if you want to identify sharp, short term changes one way or the other. It's arguable, though, whether it's an appropriate proxy for a lot of different regions/countries with different economic models.
For people feeling bad about not seeing your parents, then you should remember that the reverse is true!

You don't owe it to them to spend your life living close enough to see them weekly. (or insert schedule you like).

If they want to see you or your children, they could equally move to be close or visit. And sometimes Parents do just that!
Yes and no. Most content ends up being a fad. But that's not necessarily by design (and desire). NYT would love for Wordle to still be hot. On the other hand, BTS, to paraphrase the eternal philosopher Morrissey, was over before it ever began.

In the context of the article's conversation, creating a sustainable connection with a product's fans is difficult. It's fun to relate it to K-Pop but - and to your point - there's more to it.

It's not supposed to break userspace, but it does from time to time.

There's a surprising amount of userspace code which has to check the kernel version number because some behaviour has no "feature check" that can be used. On rare occasions that gets tricky when a distro has backported some kernel change to an old kernel version.

Because it's not supposed to be done, most breaking changes are unexpected so it wouldn't be possible to implement semver anyway, or are bug fixes which happen far too often for semver.
The digital economy would doubtless take a hard hit if we knew the true scale of synthetic engagement out there. It's just easier not to look too hard. Reminds me of a joke:

"Have you tried telling him he's not a chicken?"
"No. You see, the thing is, we really need the eggs..."
Just a decent set of tools for overhauling a bicycle cost me more than my Switch + games.
Right. A form of this millicode LDM/STM is implemented in gcc and clang when invoked with the -msave-restore flag.

This calls one of a set of (intertwined) functions on function entry. The called function saves N registers s0 .. s[N-1] plus the Return Address register on the stack. The millicode can save the RA from the original function because RISC-V allows using any register for the return address and the save-restore millicode uses a different one: t0 (register 5) instead of ra (register 1).

The corresponding restore function is jumped to (tail called) at the end of the function and restores s0 .. s[N-1] and then returns to the caller of the original function.

The three extra jump instructions involved with using -msave-restore (one each call, return, and tail-call) of course add several clock cycles. But I have seen code using -msave-restore run faster than code not using it because of better utilisation of the icache. In particular, I have seen this with CoreMark on a machine with 16 KB icache where -msave-restore gave a 3% speed improvement.

At one point, the millicode for -msave-restore was 96 bytes of code. I don't know whether anyone has tweaked it since, but that is a pretty minor part of most icaches.
Countries also have external pressures, and will also be overtaken by other counties if they become unfavorable market competitors. The only real difference is that corporations aren't top of the food chain, governments are.

Think most telling thing to me is that democracies very clear extract value from non-democracies. Yes, economic dependencies are likely net positive, but it doesn’t change the fact that to my knowledge there are no “pure” democratic countries. While I am 100% sure the non-democracies would continue to exist without the democracies, unclear to me if the democracies would as is be able to exist without the non-democracies.
The CSSF is the "Comission for Surveillance of the Finance Sector".

In that case: blow up the balloon, melt rock outside balloon. You could make "cement" from grinding local material plus some binder, that way you bring in less mass. Radiation shielding is also a nice use for asteroid's mass. I'm just saying that blowing up a balloon is easier than extracting several cubic kilometers of rock from inside of asteroid. You can start from that premise and try to find some solutions.

> Heating and melting foam is harder than solid rock or metal

You can grind it, then blow it with very hot gas onto your baloon, making a nice melted coat of rocks. This technique is already used to repair metal rotor shafts, it deposits machinable metal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAeBpF84Q9M

I'm autistic and never had imaginary friends but nobody I ever knew in my life (including classmates in school) had imaginary friends. I mostly learned about the concept as a horror movie trope in my teenage years. My grandmother insisted on vividly remembering an imaginary childhood friend she would later reinterpret as a ghost.

I'm not yet fully convinced it's a part of "healthy play" and not a coping mechanism for early childhood trauma (especially given how widely accepted and common a lot of trauma-inducing behavior still is in modern parenting, not to mention how socially isolating the modern family structure can be).
There are some good videos out there that can give you good tips for avoiding this.

The two biggest things for me were using a shaving oil rather than a cream, and shaving first with the grain and then across.

The author of the original study used VIIRS, which is essentially a large CCD sensor(s) on the Soumi-NPP weather satellite.

It’s a use case that will affect a large amount of people.

Really no different then solving a drive down the coast to Orlando. When every car on the highway has to stop to recharge to do a long drive a 45 minute recharge will bottleneck the entire highway system.

The rapid recharge is the key use case to address EV adoption. I’ve owned 3 and I’m speaking from experience.
I mean the "citation needed" part referred to humans naturally gravitating towards one man rule type systems.

Given that history is littered with monarchs, emperors, pharaohs, popes, with democracies being more of an exception than the rule until industrial times I'd say that's well established. Going back to pre-ancient times all tribes typically had one person in charge.

Even today we really can't help ourselves electing presidents, mayors, deans, CEOs, chancellors, etc. even in places that all have well established democratic decision making. There always has to be one person at the top or we apparently lose our collective shit.
This is absolutely true and I wish more people knew.. They even imported several New Jack Swing producers (the type of HipHop/RNB 90s dance style that was popular in the 90s.. Think Bobby Brown/Keith Sweat/GUY).. Korea is the ONLY nation on earth still making NJS, and where NJS is still relatively popular, pleading out into several kpop tracks. The producer who created that, Teddy Riley, and several others have been going there and producing KPOP for decades now..

The real thing isn't how much you'll see them. It's how much you'll need to take care of them in the final years and what you'll have to sacrifice.

Sounds like the author is well off and can afford to change jobs, move, etc. If their parents lived in a more rural area, it would be a much tougher decision since there's not much work there. Sure, there's remote, but we're not all great at that (and except for the top companies and specific industries, it's only a matter of time before wages are massively pushed down to compete internationally). Some of us might not be capable of landing another job anyways.
That hive mind is in fact a botnet that receives orders from TV, and it goes back to all the same people.
I believe that when it comes to voting, those who do vote do the best they can. What's broken is the two party cartel system. Getting two choices, both of which are often second rate isn't the voters' fault.

Put another way, if you don't have anyone worth voting for you're not going to vote. Voter turnout is very low. What does that tell us? Oddly enough, there's no one responsible and accountable for voter turnout. Funny how that is.
Maybe not all ad blocking. There’s already v3 ublock, but maybe just enough for people to keep adopting Chrome but not enough to switch.
Counterpoint to all of the above except your image problems: batteries are heavy and expensive. Also, studies have shown that PHEVs have a similar maintenance cost per mile as BEVs.
I’m extrapolating from the limited information in the GP’s exasperation, but the usual thread of thought for people angry about doses going to waste is that there are countries that lack supply, distribution, or suffer other forms of vaccine inequity, that these doses could have been gifted to prior to expiration.

North Korea is a regional example.

> You can reconcile both if the employees have a controlling stake in the corporation, either because they collectively have most shares, or because their shares have more voting weight. This is more or less the European social-liberal model.

Not really. This sort of model was an aim of many social-democratic (not social-liberal: those are the FDP in Germany, the Liberals/LibDems in the UK, etc.) parties before the neoliberal turn in the late 70s, but it was never actually achieved. Germany comes the closest: workers get 50%-1 board seats at large employers, but that's not the same as ownership.
Same here, and also from the twitter thread: "Follow me @SahilBloomfor more writing like this."[1]

I drove Kona EV for few months and I think EV's have just too much torque, especially at lower speeds. Extra torque from likes of Tesla at high speeds are great for overtaking, but going 0-60 in seconds is recipe for missing a corner. I don't expect this to be regulated, but it makes sense why most EV's cap on 8s 0-60.
Ridiculous. Then what's happening in the bush except for being a rich person's safari playground?
If you want to use it, the firmware will need to be updated, and therefore quickly no longer vulnerable once Sony patches it.

I read a lengthy article on how the edge of a straight razor reacts to being used.

It seems that microscopically, the honed edge of the blade looks like a comb of teeth. When you shave, these teeth fold over. Stropping apparently straightens out the folded edge.

Eventually these teeth break off, and the edge has to be remade. That can be done with a few strokes on a coticule, every 6 months or so.

The authors apparently experimented on stainless steel blades; stright razors are made from carbon steel, which doubtless has a different microcrystalline structure.

[I know, the article's about disposable razors]
Item 1. I hate sharpening knives and tools, so I wish someone would do a similar study for wood plane irons/blades (including their different steel types) versus various grinding techniques, grinding grit sizes etc.; and also explain why good old carbon steel often gives a smoother cut than do many of the harder specialized steels that have Rockwell figures which are well into the 60s—even though the fact that carbon steel dulls and blunts much more quickly than do those much harder steels?

Item 2. In a somewhat oblique vein, during COVID I always wore N95/P2 masks in public and I always took extra heed to follow the instructions that came with them which read to the effect that 'this mask will be less effective on those with bearded faces'.

Clearly that stands to reason so the question is by how much.

I'm constantly bemused by the large percentage masks on bearded faces and whose wearers seem oblivious to the fact that their beards are likely rendering their masks ineffective. Especially so when I see doctors on TV who've beards and who are there specifically to proselytize the virtues of wearing masks. With their beards popping out from behind their ill-fitting masks, it seems strange to me that these highly trained medicos seem oblivious to the obvious fact that their beards are putting them at risk—not to mention that they are setting a bad example.

Now the issue is this: given that a clean-shaven, stubble-free face provides a better mask-to-skin seal than one with stubble, the questions are:

Does anyone know of whether tests have been done on N95-type masks to test the effectiveness of their mask-to-skin seals? If so, whether any significant leakage was detected at the seal and whether stubble growth throughout the day worsened said leakage (the implication being that by the afternoon/evening masks would be less effective though increasing seal leakage)?

The corollary of the question would be to ask if a beard stubble impedes the effectiveness of the mask-to-skin seal then at what point in the growth of a newly-forming beard (at what stubble length, etc.) does the stubble render the mask ineffective (dangerous to wear)?

It's not necessarily Americans.

For example, anytime I see someone espousing the virtues of EVs and lambasting pickup trucks and SUVs, or how <popular> infrastructure should be just erected, nearly every time they are only concerned/knowledgable with city life and don't have a single clue what life in rural/undeveloped regions are like. Sometimes I wonder if they even understand how the world functions in general.

Incidentally, yes, some people do need to drive an hour or two down the freeway to commute. Not everyone has the luxury of, nor necessarily likes, city life with decent public transport and tight population density.
Except the latest bivalent Moderna and Pfizer shots, not yet bought by many governments.
This. I believe this is what really has google and meta in a panic.

Network effects for these companies have been built upon funding from advertisers.

They have failed to build consumer business models (B2C) on top of these networks.

There are clocks ticking as advertisers seek direct routes to customers.

People just like free stuff at the end of the day, and if you are zuck or Sundar this is absolutely terrifying. You have to either give something to advertisers or convince people to pay for “free stuff”.

In all honesty, the one bet google had right was gaming, consumers aren’t shy about opening their wallets.

People may debate paying a couple of dollars for twitter blue, or sharing a Netflix password BUT will happily fork over 100s of dollars for games.

Google however expected overnight success and now they going to try squeeze ads and all their freemeum toys for all the juice they can get.

Same goes for meta, which at one point was poised to be the king of online gaming.
what does it mean "jailbreaking" a gadget, esp a PS5? noob here.
Well, you have projected demand and current supply. At some point you ask, "Do we need all these?" If the answer is no, you ship them out.

How many times (in the USA) did public health officials (e.g., Fauci) and the media drum on about the dangers of new variants and how that is the world's problem? Yet, time and again we see actions that run directly counter to that narrative. If it's not negligence than it's intentional. Neither is acceptable.

We all know the rule: Actions speak louder than words.
Emacs is great all-around, but I would use it if it literally only had org-mode as a feature. That thing has saved my bacon.

> Yet the digital advertising industry has grown so accustomed to working with inflated numbers that few are willing to unmask the fake clicks

That is a funny reason for why this phenomenon might have grown so big in the first place. The people in the ad-buying company who are in the best position to 'smell' when the numbers are off are also the ones most likely to individually benefit from inflated numbers (KPIs, number go up,...).

A principal-agent problem at its finest, that unfortunately might drag some white-collar workers into being at least morally complicit in cyber crime.
It takes me literally under 20 seconds to plug in my car at home. Get out of car, walk to the back of the car, grab Type 2 cable from wall holder, poke charge port to open, plug in. Do the reverse when I leave.

That's it, I don't need to drive 5-10 minutes to tank up.

And given that my daily driving is well under 50km, I don't even need to plug in every night at home, maybe 2-3 times per week.

Also it costs me 2,25€/100km to drive. With our current prices (~2€/litre) it's the equivalent of a car that does 1.1l/100km. I'm willing to spend the extra 30 minutes to drive back home when I'm saving 50€+.
