Not surprising. My experience across a few different Android devices over the years is just about all USB-related functionality is a flaky mess, and that includes things like ADB and installing new ROMs. How it's flaky varies from device to device which makes it extra fun.
Cool idea! Do you use a specific tool for browsing/searching it etc?
AIUI, strictly speaking, the universe could be "stretched on something". The manifold could be embedded in a higher dimensional space, like the 2D surface of a balloon being embedded in 3D space. However, the maths is the same whether it's embedded like that (in any of an infinity of possible ways) or the manifold is all there is. My understanding is that physicists assume the latter simply because there's no practical benefit to doing otherwise, rather than because they have any evidence the universe isn't embedded in a higher space.

(I believe this is a different thing to the various higher dimensional cosmological theories that exist - branes and the like - but such things are beyond me.)
Imagine the gas station selling you a tank of gas for $10 and buying it back for $15 later in the day, all while your car sits on your driveway
A logic bug can be dangerous too though. E.g. Bumping a user ID, to get a "fresh" one or calculate port to open based on offset. When not bounded to a known range, this kind of logic can easily pose a serious security risk. Most of the time, it will probably just work, but under extreme conditions, it will fail. If your language at least catch the overflow and crash instead of wrapping around, you "only" have a denial of service.

Can imagine that implementing bounds checking can be costly, when done in software. Wonder if there are any hardware improvements that could reduce risk in this area.

Politics are, as they say, local. The KMT doing well in recent elections are due to a lot of different issues, not necessarily something as abstract and high-minded as the status of the nation. A periodic election is not the same thing as a national referendum.
This hasn't been true for a very long time. You lose 15% capacity per year just like with any other lithium ion battery that you store at close to 100% charge.

For UPS applications you can use 3rd party software to force the battery to stay at 80% charge and lose less capacity per year.
Is it true that if the universe is flat, then either it has to have an edge (meaning a place where you see galaxies in one direction and nothing in the other), or it has to have an infinite number of galaxies?

Correct, it’s not a good tool for programmers, but many other jobs it’s a great tool: photo organization and editing, video editing, note taking, learning and playing music (connected to a guitar), writing and dictating texts (Dropbox paper), creating texts and presentations (ms office or pages/keynote), reading news (browser, Flipboard, get pocket), watching videos/Netflix/prime, controlling music on the HomePod mini, banking, home control (control thermostat).
The only reason I still have a laptop is software development.
I don't think it's that necessarily; instead, you could pause Southwest advertisements until the next news cycle for example, or look for keywords in tweets and avoid showing SW ads near such tweets (e.g. normally you want a SW ad near tweets with "airport" but for the next 5 days you want the opposite approach)
No, I don’t think you read that correctly. The thing that’s removed is the advertisement, not the news. Eg if I tweeted “HackerNews sucks”, they would not want to pay to advertise on or near my tweet. They would rather advertise in a more neutral or positive space. Someone else could fill that advertising slot (eg. McDonald’s).
My dev desktop has the following:
- Ryzen 5950x
- 16 GB RAM
- 1070 8 GB

The limiting factor was the VRAM.
The M1 has the ability to use more VRAM than your typical gaming GPU because of the shared RAM.

I see this as a big advantage.
Whose interests would that benefit?

A people should have a right to self-determination. I can believe that just fine regardless of which people it's applied to. The current focus is in this discussion is about Taiwan, so naturally discussions about Taiwanese self-determination are going to be the focus in this thread. Maybe we'll get a thread about Catalonia sometime. When that happens we can discuss that. For now, let's bound our conversation to the article topic please, and stop trying to derail discussion with whataboutism.

The controller connected to wifi instead of the device you were playing on. That meant it could send inputs directly to the game servers in the cloud (without knowing anything about the device you were playing on) and not worry about extra hops or performance bottlenecks in trying to route through e.g. smart TVs, Chromecasts, laptops, etc.

This update allows it to pair with devices like a normal controller, so input from the controller will be sent to that device instead of some cloud server.

This makes much more sense with large lifepo4 chemistry batteries that are expected to outlive the car by a wide margin.

Lifepo4 batteries > 50kwh should easily handle 500,000 miles.

Higher performance lithium ion will degrade at a rate faster than any expected return from a scheme like this.

At least in Northern California it’s now cheaper for me to run solar+battery off grid than to pay pge. Lifepo4 pushes it over the edge into profitability.

If off-grid is competitive, selling at peak prices is a no brainer.

I mean you are very clearly not reading it right since the commenter's comment had nothing to do with suppressing news and only had to do with where paid advertisements are placed.
I've never seen a cold and calculated layoff. It's always been exasperated irrational arm-waving risk mitigation. The "good" people aren't kept - instead it's the ones that can navigate the political waters.

For every one competent executive there seems to be 3 deluded narcissistic idiots who will slash and burn people who are overqualified and under-utilized for the positions they've been incompetently assigned.

Now before you think I'm a victim of layoffs, I'm actually the political navigator. I constantly survive layoffs as I see the most talented people get let go and the best teams get broken up and reassigned, it's nuts.

One of the best techniques is to get yourself into what I call a "management island" - essentially you have either 0 or many bosses, just not 1. The next one is to be associated with a small bet - essentially a cheap investment that may yield a great long-term payoff, preferably related to the company cash cow. A third technique is to not attend too many events. Vagueness works in your favor. People should know generally but not specifically what you do. With details comes critiques so keep it ambiguous by staying quiet.

If you survive a layoff then you must not let a good crisis go to waste. Use the fog of the firing and the power vacuum to resituate yourself into this political dynamic as the dust settles. Of course these techniques only work at large companies.

I learned all of these techniques from years in management. There's more but that's a good start

You have it the wrong way around. The advertiser will ask for the ads to be suppressed or removed from negative contexts, because that's part of the service they pay for.
Of course, I don't read "boring reports". I mostly read opinion pieces and journalists with on-site reporting.
Mmm, but a signal is a signal, even if it's a duplicitous one.
Is it not obvious?

Are you suggesting that Twitter is not going to have developers work on ad tools any longer? Are you suggesting that sales and customer relations for advertisers are just no longer going to be jobs that anyone does and Twitter is going to just hope and pray they get ad money?

Yes lots of reorganization happens, lots of jobs were lost, but, duh, the work is still going to be done, even if there is a re-org gap.

I miss the simple days. I want a PHP that has no classes (procedural only), stops around 5.6 for its syntax (none of these shorthand things) and fixes some of the needle/haystack and function naming inconsistencies. Just give me strings and arrays and floats/ints. I'll add in named parameters, but I think that's the only new thing I'd want to take.

Anyone want to go in with me on that?!
rat traps: me too. the bucket with the trick plate dropping them down?

over the past 2 to 3 weeks the ads shown to me have gotten more and more small fish, bottom of barrel, and wildly unfitting for me. and weird.

its easy to predict the ones I'm seeing are by advertisers bidding much lower $ than the previous average. reasonable to extrapolate and predict Twitter's advertising income has likely crashed. I've heard from enough other people all experiencing the same shift over the same period
Twitter has lost 75% of it's employees, 50% of it's revenue and gained 25% more debt.

It's gone from a break even company to financial ruination.

Twitter is shutting down data centers and offices. Elon Musk has single handedly collapsed the company.

Twitter will shortly be either bankrupt or personally funded by Elon Musk's bank balance by the end of the year.
It's almost as if you didn't read the article you linked, which summarizes, "the elections likely hinged on local issues, not China."

Polls indicate that the Taiwanese overwhelmingly want to either "maintain the status quo" or "maintain the status quo with incremental movement toward independence" (https://esc.nccu.edu.tw/PageDoc/Detail?fid=7801&id=6963), which is entirely what the US policy is intended to support! Like the Taiwanese people, we also don't want an apocalyptic conflict with China when the status quo is already de facto independence, regardless of what we call it to appease nationalist factions in Chinese domestic politics.
No it shouldn't, an hour in this submission might have barely 7 points, not 177, and probably a comment or two bemoaning the readability and pointing out the clearer write-up(s) available for people not already keeping up with the mailing list.

If you don't believe me, have a look, this was probably submitted too, and is languishing somewhere off the front page while this one is at the top, by virtue of people voting for it and not the other.

> The boundaries of the universe are the light cone of the big bang.

That "boundary" is not a spacial boundary, but simply the farthest distance we can "see".

The universe is expanding fast enough that any given space-time point can only "see" a finite region of the greater universe.

But it is all connected. We can see objects far away, whose citizens (if they exist) can see beyond our visible boundary, and so on.

And our area is not expanding "into" other areas. Think of the expansion as equally inflating every area, including our own. Pushing distant areas to be more distant. All in a smooth way across the region of the universe we can see and beyond.
> The US Military can crush any other military force in the world into dust.

There are no examples of this ever happening, but multiple examples of the US retreating in shame, creating opportunities for very dramatic photography as we leave our allies to die.
You are asking for the impossible. It would take a fiscal quarter for a source that isn’t an opinion. Perhaps the OP should not include Elon’s insane approach to content moderation as a new stance but simple negligence by the adtech strategy they’ve devised. In either case Elon’s going to need to adjust in some capacity or adopt the chum ad approach to monetize his content.

I think PBS space time does a good job explaining these things, but you’re right it doesn’t map to our understanding of how mass and space work in a Newtonian world. These videos give some explanation and link through internally to more details.

What the hell are you even trying to say.

I never once claimed that there’s evidence that “teaching young men and women to blindly follow is always a bad idea” came from blindly following beliefs. That doesn’t even make ducking sense? Are you good? You seem a bit out of it. If you’re going to reply, at least make it comprehensible. Also tolerance was not even in my mind when I wrote that so take your blind copy/paste buzzwords back to Reddit.
Is it neoliberalism specifically, or even just generally living in a capitalist society? (Which hey, I'm happy enough to live in a capitalist society, it has been good to me, but I definitely notice myself evaluating nearly everything through a financial or transactional lens).
My router has a latency of 1ms. Why doesn't the controller send input to the PC like a regular controller, which can then send it to the cloud? That would add 2ms of latency.
It also seems fairly popular, solves the pesky problem of presides/rivals horning in on your resources. It is a good option if your metric is ‘helps you survive’ for most of our history.
> you can call `this.constructor.staticMethod()` and it calls `staticMethod()` on `User` or up the inheritance chain.

This is where I have come to like typescript. 4 years ago, I would have agreed with you, but TS have moved me into a world where I wouldn't write that kind of code any more, and it honestly makes me sick to look at.

Instead I would just do `User.staticMethod` because this accomplishes several things:

- super classes shouldn't know about inheriting classes. If they do, TS gives you interfaces and abstract classes for this purpose.
- it still crawls up the proto chain, so the inheriting class doesn't need to know about every super class
- no risk in `this` pointing to something unintentional (if someone calls or apply's your method)
- shorter code, easier to read IMO, especially for less experienced devs
> Interesting that Twitter is shipping features faster than ever after 80% layoffs.

Do we have an independent source that doesn't have a history of dishonesty confirming this? Does it have a creative definition of 'shipping', 'feature', and 'faster'? Are there any long-tail dangers that have, or have the potential to blow up in Twitter's face from it?

My car goes faster and gets better MPG ever since I stripped out the weight of the braking system...
I have 100k miles on my 2018 Model S having Supercharged it the majority of the time the last four years. It has only 6% battery degradation of the 100kw pack. Tesla warranties their powerwalls for 15 years when configured as part of their aggregated virtual power plants. The batteries are demonstrated to be durable.

New LFP chemistries that are heavier but more stable are ideal for stationary storage and high cycle counts, but the evidence shows in general that these packs are built for longevity (with very occasional early failures). You could probably do well buying a salvage Tesla and shucking the pack for working modules and coming out ahead economically (safety warning, do at your own risk, etc) if you don’t want or can’t get dedicated stationary storage (although it comes with generous federal, state, and utility subsidies in California).
This is table stakes for ad platforms. You still also need to be reactive to new events.
How well does it do with occlusion? Holding, or manipulating an object, and capturing those interactions.
It's worth pointing out that Tesla's Virtual Power Plant in California -- which is used primarily in emergency events -- compensates owners $2/kWh. [1]

Obviously, that rate is not going to be sustainable for routine energy storage, but PG&E is already compensating EV owners a substantial amount for peak electricity needs.

The thing I don't get with that analogy is the ballon IS expanding into something - eg if you put the balloon in a cup, it won't expand (unless you have REALLY strong lungs :-) ).

Also, curious where the extra energy comes from to keep the 'vacuum energy' (zero point energy?) from going down - IIRC, its remained constant even though the universe is expanding

But that state shouldn't persist beyond the request, otherwise you have problems. You shouldn't have one request modifying the state of other running requests, etc..

Considering the enormous population of the countries in that part of the world, for how long the west could claim influence on them anyway?

The center for technological advancements have already shifted to that region too. The west still holds as a cultural powerhouse but as the technology enables cheap production and distribution of media, that is also bound to vanish.

Overall a fairer world where westerners work as hard as the asians is the most likely scenario IMHO. Flipping burgers in NYC should end up with similar compensation as flipping burgers in Shanghai.

Could be painful but at the end it can be beneficial for the west too. Since a while we live in a world where engineers who deal with atoms are poorly compensated in the west because everything is made in China and our best and brightest spend their lives in the advertisement and gambling business disguised as tech and finance. That part of the world becoming an equal power to the west can be beneficial on the long run.

I don't understand what you are saying. Could you reword that?

Taiwan will be in a defensive conflict if they are attacked. Who has said that the US will attack China??

Chinese policy is that Taiwan is part of China and has a separatist faction of rulers. Talking about the US attacking China, which isn't going to happen, does nobody any favors.

Gender identity is something that is nuanced and complex. I'm not looking for an argument but I would invite you to think of the opposite:

- What is the proof that this person is not what they claim of? (ie, what ideology of yours makes you convinced of this?). This ties into deeply philosophical questions - what makes you "you"? Do you have a conscience? A soul? Is your brain the source of your identity or is your loins? Does your loins control your brain and thus your existence?

But on a more direct reply - anthropology has made some significant discoveries about the history of people - including trans people. I would encourage you to look into that for more information - assuming you wish to learn more about the subject.

I would also encourage you to google (or bing) terms such as "trans people brains" where there's a lot of neurological research being done. First google hit i find is https://health.clevelandclinic.org/research-on-the-transgend...

There's lots of information out there, and more is being discovered every day so it's very useful to keep your eyes open on evidence - and not personal beliefs.
