I have a similar question:

What happens to quantum tangles[0] that get inflated? — do they melt or is it possible for them to absorb energy in a hard to interact with state?

Eg, is the reason dark matter looks like a braid that it is? — and inflated foam turned into a foamy-web?

Even if an office is more energy efficient to get overall energy saving an office worker should switch power at home off going to the office. Which not always happening for couple reasons: a family member staying at home, lack of remote controlled thermostat which allows to start cooling/heating one hour before coming back home, in wet climate one have to run heating 24x7 to avoid mold growth (because of water condensed on cold surfaces). AFIK it is common to have AC or heating running at home even if all occupants are at the office.
Fun fact, they can sometimes narrow down crime scene DNA to just a single person by having enough partial matches from their (potentially distant) relatives. I can't remember which DNA database was used, but some cases were solved this way, IIRC it introduced a bunch of legal questions about if you can search a database in that way.

> Or always remember not to look at the device and cover cameras with your fingers (FaceID can be quick)

Picture this:

- Owner hands over phone locked (whether or not in camera)

- Photographer sort of takes its time, acting not too sure about themselves to divert attention while subtly manipulating device so that screen shuts down (wait for screen sleep, or press power button if in camera), claims "oh I made a mistake / screen has shut down" or something to that effect all the while smoothly presenting device as if both demonstrating the fact and asking for help, facing it towards owner so that they can look, yet quickly presses power button which kicks in FaceID which provides haptic feedback as a cue to swiftly turn it around, swipe up, and keep a finger on screen. Photographer runs away, phone is unlocked.

What works: press power button five times, dismiss emergency screen, and only then hand it over. This invalidates authentication and requires pin to unlock (think `sudo -k`).
Can you be more specific?

Gerrit does in fact impose a particular workflow: each commit is the atomic unit of review.

This, BTW, is a beautiful thing. Most of the idiocy of github is trying to have multi-commit pull requests. Then they had to bodge on that "suggested changes" nonsense instead of having proper dependency tracking between pull requests.

When each commit is the unit of review, you get pull request dependencies and recursive pull requests automatically. Instead of suggesting changes you can simply create a commit with your suggestion which has the reviewed commit as its parent. It's so simple yet so much more powerful.

Great article that gets to the key points.
The problem with "persistent memory bus" is a very bad sign by itself. This means no existing software/systems can benefit from the feature without writing some new code between the volatile/persistent boundry. It's too much of an effort for a "not much faster" device.

I can tell you why. The same reason everyone blows their paychecks as soon as humanly possible in Venezuela.

Prices go up slow enough but faster than they used to, people slow down their spending because times are tight. Prices go up fast enough, people spend their money before it is worth less than it is right now.

Which part of an iPhone has any resale value?

If the device is icloud locked the most interesting component is bricked.

The screen is locked to that part too, so will never work right in another phone.

All you would get is a battery (with no good way to install it, and as a consumable component); a chassis and a lightening/USB port.

In some parts of the world, it so happens that the robbers know how to operate Apple phones. They then use this skill to force the owner of the phone to unlock it and further find the banking apps or similar to get more money from the victim. If you don't know how Android works, you risk the owner signaling an emergency while trying to do the same.

Don't know if this is happening in the US, where this crime apparently took place.

Something does not add up.

"23andMe said the data breach was caused by customers reusing passwords"

Yet 14,000 accounts were breached in one go? Where did these passwords come from? Maybe there was another related breach (something like lastpass can explain this)?

Also, using the "DNA Relatives" features the hackers were able to access personal information relating to 6.9 million individuals. That means each one of the original 14,000 accounts had about 492 unique relatives. What am I missing?

> I'm sure Google didn't put any thought into their physical rollout.

From the article:

> “If anyone understood road technology or tire technology, [they] would know it’s going to be a problem,” said Jim Hayes, president of the Fiber Optics Association and a decades-long veteran of the industry.

> “They bid out the work to replace the sealant with asphalt,” Simrall said. But before the work started, Google Fiber saw customers lose service when the process of repaving roads damaged fiber lines. “So they shifted their attention to addressing that,” she said.

Apparently, they did not in fact put any thought into it, besides "how can we cut costs".
Is Ruby still a thing in web development? It seems to me most backend use Java, C#, Node with a bit of PHP here and there.
Not reflecting to this particular theory, but in general history is full of theories which were not testable at their birth, but both engineering and the evolution of the theory eventually found a way to do so, even if it took a century.

Black holes, Higgs bozon and neutrinos are a few popular examples.
If you don't encrypt your network traffic, you can quite easily decrypt it on another PC (as you can just set promiscuous mode on your 2nd PC NIC), giving you undetectable read-only hacks like "radar", where you basically have a map of the game with the enemy positions, health, gun, ...

If you encrypt it, this is no longer possible.
If a cheater wants to decrypt it, he has to get access to the decryption key, which usually is send over an TLS encrypted connection (with certificate pinning in place) [Or in some cases self made encryption :/].

Therefore he has to either reverse the game to get the certificate or has to attempt to read it while the game is running.
In the first case the game developers (and the Anti-Cheat providers) will try there best by obfuscating the specific regions.
And the 2nd case is basically what AC is all about, and therefore difficult for modern Anti-Cheats.

There's an interesting shift in language associated with the Russian invasion of Ukraine - a type of pierogi which used to be called ruskie (from the region of Red Rus, where they originate) are now commonly named ukraińskie (Ukrainian) instead.

The reason is that the adjective ruskie is typically understood as "Russian" in general parlance.
Chemical recycling of plastic not so fantastic, report finds
Back in 2019, I made an advanced MS Word add-in spellchecker that integrates the ProWritingAid API to spot all the errors in an interactive way where you just hover over a misspelled word or an incorrect expression and a popup shows at the mouse pointer's position where you can quickly correct the word with suggestions, or open a task pane on the right side of the active document for more advanced features. The issues were highlighted by different colors depending on the type of issue. In short, you can think of Grammarly's Chrome extension.

After a short period of time, I saw a job posting by the company that read something like, "We need an MS Word Add-In developer," and from the job's description, it was clear that they want a developer to build a Word Add-in that consumes their API. Yay! I said. I instantly applied and attached a short video showing the add-in I built in action. I immediately got a response from the CEO himself, and I think the CTO or a lead developer was with him. They interviewed me and liked me, but, unfortunately, they didn't hire me because of me!

Honestly, I tried to sell them the add-in and ensure some level of future support, but they insisted on hiring me on an hourly basis; instead, I couldn't. I did not decline the offer directly but asked for an hourly rate I knew they would not be able to afford, and well, that was the end.

There's something weirdly universal about pierogi ruskie. I've not met anyone not liking them. Actually everyone I introduced to them loved the taste. (people usually try to look up polish delis / kitchens in the area that sell them afterwards) Given the simplicity of the ingredients, that's really impressive.

This is always quite an interesting dynamic in local government. It's the nature of the US that there's always going to be some mid sized city run by idiots and big corporations can just shop around to see who they can take advantage of. If you strip away the brand name this is just a city agreeing to install an incredibly sub-standard local utility. But it's cheaper! Yes, because it's bad! All the other people digging deep trenches aren't idiots, they're building out the infrastructure to a spec where it will actually be maintainable.

> Unions in the rest of the UE aren't as strong or influential as those in Sweden

No, but there's a unique alignment between labor (which is popular with voters) and industry (which fears Tesla) that could create real political momentum. This is a dumb alignment to force. Tesla is doing it.
I have never ever heard of a photographer running away with a phone. I think that's more in someone's fantasy than reality. I know it can happen in theory but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
Lies, damn lies and benchmarks.

The first benchmark is pretty much an empty request, so it measure each framework "overhead". That shows Rails+Puma at `0.25ms` overhead per request, and rage+iodine at `0.013ms`. That is significantly less yes, but it the overwhelming majority of case it absolutely don't matter, and this difference mostly come from Rails providing extra features.

As for the second one, it's entirely irrelevant. It's benchmarking a purely IO workload with Puma caped at 5 threads vs Iodine without a concurrency cap. You can increase "Rails" throughput about as much as you want in that benchmark by raising the number of Puma threads or switching to Falcon.

But also, not capping concurrency like this is risky. The second some CPU heavy work is mixed with this pure IO work, latency will suffer terribly. It's fine for a micro-service where you know it's really all IO though.

Disclaimer: I'm a member of Rails, but I welcome alternative frameworks, I'm just very annoyed at how terrible most benchmarks are.

> I think too many techies are, much like yourself, contributing to the problem by refusing to move away from Chrome [...]

Contrary to your assumptions, I've been quite vocal against the Chrome/Blink monoculture for a while. Unfortunately there is a legit case for it; several generations of "low-end" devices (anything older than 10 years basically), that are still quite capable and in common use, where the difference in performance between Firefox and Chromium becomes quite noticeable, especially as you try to watch video.

I don't think the problem is "techies", we have zero influence outside our own circles - see the historical rates of Linux adoption. The problem is we need the good ol' hammer of antitrust to start swinging again. We also need the regulators to be smart; if we get really unlucky, they will target iOS Safari instead. (This would be good in a healthy ecosystem, but would only serve to further entrench Google's position in the current situation.)

By the way, using a filtering/rewriting proxy has other merits, especially on said older hardware; you can rewrite the entire web page to make it more lightweight and accessible. Check out miniwebproxy[1] and medium-rare[2]. It's also quite simple to write one; you need maybe a hundred lines of Go to start getting results. I've been experimenting with integrating Readability[3][4]; and I think there's more potential to this approach.

I'm on the hunt for office space in the city, scoping out deals and such. The real numbers, according to folks I've spoken with on the ground, are much higher. Many units simply aren't listed or are in a "limbo" state.

In a number of buildings vacancy rate is 70%+.

I've been asking shop and restaurant owners how their business is doing during lunch - down 70%-80%.

Buildings that were originally built at 70/sqft are now selling at 40 or less. For real estate investors, this can be realized to a loss of 30-40%.

From what I can tell, many companies that remain in SF aren't renting in FiDi but are choosing to rent out entire buildings in Hayes and the Mission.

It's bleak, and FWIW, having just gone through YC, there aren't going to be too many AI companies to "save the day."

On the flip side, the city does seem cleaner and occasionally more vibrant. Market street is cleaner now than it was during the summer (might just be the rainy weather). The open air drug market has seemingly moved onto a side street and the "we robbed a walgreens" shops near the bart stations in the mission have also been cleaned out, for the most part.
