Here (France) I got 2Gbps down, 860Mbps up (and I'm on mountains, not downtown) so definitively asymmetric but still with a very good upload for home usages, for instance for simple p2p file sharing while on an ip2ip VoIP call with a friend, no special services in between.

All we need is IMVHO a general culture on IT and it's evolution, to push politicians MANDATE no throttling, routing tricks etc with public watchdogs that sanction all anti-users behaviors in tech, not just for ISP but for instance in terms of communications service: you are a company and decide to offer a new "modern chat" service with a new protocol? Ok, no issues. Do it if you want BUT if the protocol is closed source or design in a way to makes third party "peering" hard you get significant income slice ALL THE TIME this design persist. Let's say you state "ah but file-sharing pass on our servers and bandwidth and storage are costly. That's good. So allow third party "caching services" or direct IP2IP sharing or pay the sanction for having chosen an anti-user design.

Since all this "features" and "anti vs pro" can't be written in laws up front that's the simple way to go: from the PUBLIC academia a watchdog who listen FLOSS associations, citizens, users in general and keep watching not impeding, but sanctioning. Enough to allow free ALSO commercial innovation, but not enough to makes some behaviors interesting for any business.
These coats should change the pattern they generate every second, like Rorschach from Watchmen. That'd not only be cool, but should guarantee anonymity since the current photo of you doesn't match the last photo of you.
Looks like you're right, thanks. Gonna be a long time before he goes to jail then. Maybe Bahamas will charge him first to get him in jail and then US would be able to extradite as I doubt Bahaman charges would count toward US speed trial.

Edit: SBF has been arrested by Bahaman authorities.
There was a joke that went "The only thing that holds its resale value better than electronics test equipment is a diesel electric locomotive." I'm not sure how true that is but the commonality is that they can be maintained to do the same job they were designed to do, as well as they did it when they were sold. The only reason they go down in value is because the jobs aren't there for them any more.

Interestingly the evolution of chips has been much harder on "old" test equipment as equivalents can be made one, two, and sometimes three orders of magnitude more cheaply. As a result a "new" thing which has the same capability but usually takes up much less space and power, can do the job of the "old" thing just as well, and then the old thing loses its value.
It shouldn’t be surprising. It’s the typical self-interested “freedom” debate.

Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah essentially neutered the ability of the federal government to take most any useful action against supplements unless they are proven to cause harm. The rationale is pretty simple. Utah is the center of the MLM universe, and they are big supporters of the Senator.

Supplements attract scammers like the flies to light. Herbalife is the best known of these products, but there are dozens of these schemes selling everything from powered bone material to herbal viagra.

It’s a common pattern that effective in selling bad ideas.
Lasers can get over 50% efficient (although these are specialized types).

It’s silly to blame a facility not designed for power production for using inefficient lasers.

This is an important and necessary step to getting resources to go further. Imagine how dumb it would’ve been to build a fusion power plant before we could even do 1.2x energy gain. A complete waste of resources.
And worse, if Dolphin misinterprets a pseudo-random random binary file as a Targa image, even the tinest of files can be interpreted as an image with millions of pixels and gigabytes in size (even though only the first few pixels are actually present in the file). And malicious binary files can be small but decompress to gigabytes of pixel data as well. So a source filesize limit is insufficient to prevent pathological files from eating RAM.
With a service of this size creating a copy of prod is a non-trivial problem, and there are classes of bugs that will only manifest against prod data. A pristine, miniature pretend-prod just isn't that useful.

What I've seen work in the past is that you develop your changes locally, run a local instance of whatever service you're changing, but local instance is backed by stateful layers in prod.

Feature flags are ingrained in the culture, and you'll be expected to do things like gate your code to some small set of users at first. Employees are a good option, or test users created in prod if you're especially wary of your changes.

I only know of this leading to one SEV, where the feature flags broke in such a way that everything was suddenly enabled for everyone.
> and they don't need to be "high quality", a man will almost always have 2 arms, 2 legs etc...

At the next generation it feels like the training set will be inbreeding on the flood of stable diffusion images with 7 mangled fingers, heads coming out of legs, etc.
No but you can call our POSIX C library whenever you want :^)
> Can't concentrate on boring things - surely that's normal?

Not if it happens 24/7 across work, hobbies, and remembering to go to bed on time. (This is about struggling at work with ADHD, but it's more often possible to succeed at work and neglect everything else.)

And "bullshit jobs" are a fake concept. Just because a guy wrote a book saying he doesn't understand a job doesn't mean it's not useful to someone.
Not sure, I'm more curious about the average wealth of republicans vs. Democrats to make a better assumption.

To me, i don't think that would work.

I just think it's tax motivated => profits. Sometimes the simple answers are the correct ones.

I think you have provided an argument against eSports: a popular sport is "timeless" and is played for generations.

Games are ephemeral. It's very rare for a game to be popular for more than 10 years. There might be popular franchises like Counterstrike, but they are still different games that will eventually be replaced by something better.

That means you can't build up the same history, traditions and attachment.

Thank you, I will be sure to defer my sense of hearing to Reddit upvotes in the future.
Ig the first influencers were/ are "just" people with a high social standing. Going from celebrities (movie stars, ...) back to class-based social standing. This could be further limited to a high standing in a specific niche, like tech, fashion or whatever is being observed. Though that is most likely a hard stretch of the "Influencer" definition.
Fully agree. The problems are hard, the interested talent is limited (who would want to work on line of business software when academia actively pushes people towards other things), and the problem space (all possible online business configurations) is immense.

Re:frontend, you're absolutely correct. Magento's frontend is a sad state. MageOS is actively looking for ways to move Luma/Blank into a separate installable package so that devs are not forced to see it at every turn.

In terms of Headless, there are a bunch of different heads at this point, but none have yet solved what I call the "upgrade-safe theme" problem.

I like what we've done with Daffodil since it doesn't impose any of those limitations that come with themes, while still handling a lot of the complexity that devs face when building ecommerce stores.
Oh I'm sorry, this is abuse! Yes, you want arguments, next door.

I am really not sure how you look at this story about drugs which are just subject to no prohibition at all (those you can literally buy at a gas station) and the trouble they're causing for people, but your take-away is "the war on drugs is bad".
The comments are mind blowing. I really didn't expect the theory to have so much confirmation in other languages.
It's still probably about 100x, given efficiency losses all around, even on the highest-efficiency lasers.
It’s very difficult for me, in all honesty, to even understand why the act of emergency alerts being re-enabled by a carrier leads to this kind of reaction.
The problem is this might be true, but it will not always be true. The horse was probably better than the first cars for a while, but progress changed that.
How many times have you or literally anyone you know achieved a state of the art breakthrough in the production of energy from a nuclear fusion reactor? Is this just another Monday to you?
To be fair, fusion technology is a strategic imperative. The first nation to master it will quickly enjoy defacto Energy independence. Given that many of the crises will likely be energy-eccentric, we may see more investment in the space rather than less, especially if visible progress is being made.
In my entirely casual understanding of English most means the set that has more members than any other. When the comparison is binary (sites that work vs sites that don't) then "more than half" is both necessary and sufficient as a definition.

When comparing more than two options most could be significantly less than half (e.g. if I have two red balls, and one ball each of blue, purple, green, orange, pink, and yellow, then the color I have the most of is red, despite representing only one quarter of the total balls.)

That said, any attribute attaining more than half of the pie must be most.
Steps on finding this from the HTML spec:

① Start at https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/. Or https://html.spec.whatwg.org/ if you prefer, with everything in one page, but that’s a big document. You can also build it all locally yourself if you like. I have.

② “The form element” sounds like a good place to look. https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#the-form-e...

③ Look through the DOM interface listed, elements sounds promising. Find the explanation of that IDL attribute below: “The elements IDL attribute must return an HTMLFormControlsCollection rooted at the form element's root, whose filter matches listed elements whose form owner is the form element, with the exception of input elements whose type attribute is in the Image Button state, which must, for historical reasons, be excluded from this particular collection.” Roll your eyes at the bizarre exclusion of <input type=image>, then focus on the term form owner which sounds relevant. That links you to https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastr....

④ Hmm… null, parser inserted flag, nearest ancestor form element, form attribute. Parser inserted flag sounds relevant (though it’s just a flag, not the actual association link). Also the note “They are also complicated by rules in the HTML parser that, for historical reasons, can result in a form-associated element being associated with a form element that is not its ancestor.”

⑤ This is where having the whole spec open, rather than the multipage version, is handy: you can search the entire document for the term “parser inserted flag” to see where that gets set. You can also guess that it’s going to be in §13.2 Parsing HTML documents (parsing.html). In the end, it’s https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#creating...: “… then associate element with the form element pointed to by the form element pointer and set element's parser inserted flag.” Ah hah!

⑥ You have found the concept in the parser: “form element pointer”. You can then look through where it’s used and quickly see how it’s set on <form> and unset on </form>, thus deliberately handling the missing-</form> case.

You develop a feeling for this kind of thing over time. I didn’t know about the form element pointer (though I feel I should have known about it), but this is a loose description of what I did, though I was able to speed through some of the steps, and I really should have just started by looking at “An end tag whose tag name is "form"”, but at first I thought the claim was bogus.

Over-hyping the small steps as big leaps is the problem. If the scientifically literate people here are sick of it, imagine what the voting public thinks.
It isn't cynicism. It's a reality check:

1. Energy output != power generation. At the end of every fusion reactor is boiling water to turn a turbine to generate electricity. There's a limit on efficiency and we still aren't there yet;

2. Much like all of nuclear power (fission included) we brush over capital costs and focus on operating costs because that tells a much better story.

3. We still have energy loss from neutron loss;

4. We still have container damage to content with due to neutron embrittlement.

Even the article claims (and this is optimistic) that commercial fusion power generation is "decades away".

Much like FTL travel, we get suckered into unwarranted optimism because we want it to be tru, particularly with the fuel abundance and (no) waste issues. We also fall into th enaive trap of thinking if stars can do it, it must work. But what contains stellar nuclear fusion is gravity.

I'd argue there's still way too much optimism. Pointing out these issues doesn't make you a contrarian. It makes you a realist.
So it's wrong to be vocally anti-censorship cause it's so heavily used on HN?

Is it truly hypocritical to not want your location publicly available?

Downvote me into oblivion censorious fools!
It seems like fewer games are being successful at becoming competitive esports. Many of the ones people play had their origins in mods: Counterstrike, Dota, various battle royal mods, and so forth.

Companies now often don't want mods, as they interfere with selling cosmetics, loot boxes, and so on.

ADHD diagnosis involves interviewing your parents about what you were like as a child. If they're skipping that it's because they don't feel like doing it.
Short BNB
3) Esports gambling companies
1) That "ADHD is overdiagnosed" metastudy is frequently referenced, but always for the wrong reasons:

"Overdiagnosis is defined here as occurring when a person is clinically diagnosed with a condition, but the net effect of the diagnosis is unfavorable. Misdiagnosis (when a child is incorrectly labeled with an ADHD diagnosis instead of an alternative condition) and false-positive diagnosis (when a subsequent clinical encounter reveals a wrong initial diagnosis) are not the focus of this article."

Unfavorable here is:

- medication can have side effects

- it might be used as an excuse to stop trying/caring

- there's a social stigma

2) Your second link provides no evidence of drug-seeking behaviour. It only claims that it's possibly to get a high score on an ADHD checklist with fake answers. It makes no claim that people without ADHD actually seek an ADHD diagnosis to get prescription stimulants.

Note that I'm not claiming they aren't, just that this article doesn't support that claim.

3) The third link is just an article on time with the headline that 1 in 4 adults who seek treatment are faking it. I can't find any reference to this number in the article body, nor a link to the paper.

I think this is the paper: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/46282569_Effectiven...

Color me surprised: this one does actually support the claim that 22% are exaggerating symptoms.
There are of course some limitations to this study. And it makes no claim that those that are exaggerating symptoms are doing so to seek medication (again, I'm not claiming otherwise).

The good news is that there are methods to identify these patients. And given that this study is from 2010, I hope that those are in use to aid with (mis)diagnosis today.

Mitchdoogle, do you have any other evidence to support your claim of overdiagnosing and drug-seeking?
In the future, please take the time to read through the articles you link.
And please take the time to read the last paper before you reply.
I wonder about the random part.. How did you achieve this ? Dice or something ? Be cause even with basic knowledge of the system it would have been easy (for a while) to delete only useless files.. It's à very original drinking game !
The entire point of LLNL is to study nuclear bombs.
Or at least until competitive games become as enjoyable to watch as, say, a soccer game. It's true that most competitive games just look like a mess if you haven't played them. I guess game devs should start optimizing animations, camera and effects for viewers, rather than just for players, perhaps with a "viewer" mode that is different from the player mode.
All that plus the fact that, under general surveillance, behaving in a way that is consistent with avoiding tracking at great inconvenience is a great way to get flagged.
Your proposal is very similar to SGML’s CONCUR feature mentioned in the Wikipedia article.
i never thought tech-type sites would rag on musk so hard:

Musk, who used to have a rather bipartisan appeal in the U.S., has outed himself as an entitled right-wing prick in the short span that he’s owned Twitter. Musk bought Twitter, along with a number of investors, for $44 billion at the end of October when he almost immediately instigated brutal layoffs.

Musk has also been trying to court some of the worst people on the internet lately, tweeting over the weekend that his “pronouns” are “Prosecute/Fauci.” The tweet is apparently both a “joke” about people who are trans, and a reference to the far-right belief that Anthony Fauci, the country’s leading infectious disease expert, was somehow responsible for the covid-19 pandemic that struck the entire world.

that's pretty strong.
This is fantastic news!
I never would have thought there’d be a day when conservatives could own the libs by buying an electric car.
>" There is one huge problem behind esports: their viewers are always going to be limited by the actual game's userbase."

Is this true? I know many people who watch e-sports of games they don't play, and professional outdoor sports are often watched by people who rarely if ever play the game (football is a good example of this).

You appear to be focused on proper nouns. There's a very simple rule for them: some of them are arthrous, and the rest aren't. This question makes as much sense as asking for a rule governing when a noun should begin with B: box, book, and boat do, but knife, mail, and ghost don't. How do you tell?

There are several rules determining whether an ordinary noun should or shouldn't be marked by "the", but none of those apply to proper nouns. Those are names; they either include an article, or they don't.
B52 seems a little overpriced. I'd think you'd want something like a C-47/DC-3 - enough room to walk around in, shower, cook, etc, but hopefully not too crazy expensive to operate.
It doesn't matter if we find an infinite energy source. It will just shuffle the powers around. Nothing will really change. Humans will shift their fight to something else and inequality will still be the source of most of our problems.

For people confused about this, there were prior commercial attempts at coronavirus vaccines, with mixed success. They were not RNA vaccines. The COVID-19 vaccines built on that research (regarding what proteins to target, in particular), but the COVID vaccines that were rolled out were completely novel technology.
This is the very opposite to silver bullet approaches to fusion, though. This is a methodical, military-industrial-complex style development that was decades in the making.

I think it’s just the Zeitgeist. Social media has trained us that a certain reasoning style is rewarded, quick takes that don’t dig into the first principles and instead serve as shibboleths that you’re not one of THOSE types of unintellectual pseudo tech bros who bought NFTs or whatever.

>the efficiency is terrible

I've heard a few people say this, but it's not true - the efficiency of electric heaters is 100%. They're only detrimental when they run off of fossil-fuel based power plants. Instead of making silly laws banning symptoms, our focus should be on removing the pollution at its source.
