I find it hard to remember a ton of different rules, so I just count configurations, and I'm right on these problems basically every time. You count configurations by enumerating all possible combinations of unknowns, then "score" them by likelihood. The configuration's probability is its score divided by the total score. Then take the weighted sum of your test value, with the weights being the configuration probabilities.

There are 101 configurations (the different values of N). We know our first ball was red. So N == 0 has a score of 0 (it's impossible since we found a red), N == 6 has a score of 6 (there are six different ways we could draw a red), N == 100 has a score of 100. The sum of all the scores is 5050, so the probability that N == 100 is 100/5050 = 1.98%.

The value we're interested in is p(2nd ball == red). In the N == 100 configuration, that's 100%: it contributes 100% * 1.98% to the final "score". In the N == 6 configuration, that's 5/99 (we already drew one red), so it contributes 5/99 * 6/5050 to the final score. Add up the final scores and you get 66.67%.

As long as you can feasibly enumerate all possible configurations and score them accurately, this approach basically never fails.

I have no experience with this but my understanding is that they don’t go straight to wage garnishes (which I’ve heard the bureaucracy is slow to handle in situations where the garnished individual moves). That happens if you don’t meet payments as required.
> Apple made the first mainstream acceptable smartwatch by smoothing over a lot of the complaints about their competitors,

Really? Why do Apple fanboys make these kinda claims.. same as wireless Bluetooth pods, or fingerprint readers, or faceID. There are ample examples of these done well on the hardware side prior. The main advantage Apple has is its seamless integration with software, which of course it pairs well with iOS because nothing else is allowed to.

> Delaware law allows defendants to shift the burden of proof under the entire fairness standard where the transaction was approved by a fully informed vote of the majority of the minority stockholders. And here, Tesla conditioned the compensation plan on a majority-of-the-minority vote. But the defendants were unable to prove that the stockholder vote was fully informed because the proxy statement inaccurately described key directors as independent and misleadingly omitted details about the process.
Given the transmission powers and distances involved and the fact that it's non-ionizing radiation, you're probably more likely to develop skin cancer from the UV radiation reflected by the full moon than to experience any type of effect from these satellite-based cell towers.
Apple TV is fine, but for instance it took them such a long time to get a remote with buttons that can be recognized in the dark. And that weird push for games when there's no first party controller. The storage tiers that made no sense. All in all it has been such a weird product.

> too much credit

Sorry for the weird turn of phrase. I just think Apple is a company like any other, with sometimes good ideas, sometimes bad idea, sometimes they'll hit the jackpot and sometimes they battle the EU.

Apple not figuring a good approach to a problem doesn't feel like any further indication of how hard the problem is. I mean, we could say they haven't figured out how to charge a wireless mouse either.

> C++ is a horrible language. It's made more horrible by the fact that a lot
of substandard programmers use it, to the point where it's much much
easier to generate total and utter crap with it. Quite frankly, even if
the choice of C were to do nothing but keep the C++ programmers out,
that in itself would be a huge reason to use C.

> In other words: the choice of C is the only sane choice. I know Miles
Bader jokingly said "to piss you off", but it's actually true. I've come
to the conclusion that any programmer that would prefer the project to be
in C++ over C is likely a programmer that I really would prefer to piss
off, so that he doesn't come and screw up any project I'm involved with.

Do you have source for this other than Cinebench R23, which is hand optimized for x87 AVX instructions through Intel Embree Engine?

From all sources, Apple Silicon has 2-3x more perf/watt than AMD's APUs in multithread and a bigger gap in single thread.

India has a brain drain problem. The most profitable career in India is to leave India and become an immigrant.

The US is not responsible for that problem and never will be. And even if the US fixed its immigration inconveniences, the problem in India would remain.

India has other problems as well. For software engineers, the number one threat of hiring from India are the corporate cultures at Infosys, TCS and similar companies. I do not want to work with the alumni of those work cultures. It's radioactive-level toxicity.

For RBAC, I see two main challenges. You need to make sure that you get all the roles for all client applications for a user to make a decision. That becomes a bit more complex if you go into scenarios where each tenant can also manage their own clients and roles. Secondly, complexity comes from the self-service to assign roles, ie. delegating access management to the tenants. You need to allow certain users to assign the roles to users in their organization, or in general manage their users. That authorization model has to be applied to the whole system, including APIs obviously.

Most solution solve the authentication part, so login with a local user or federated users via identity brokering (eg, OIDC/SAML via EntraID). The main selling point of ZITADEL is that it also solves the authorization, as mentioned above, across multiple tenants as well as the self-service aspect of delegating configuration of security policies and user management to "Managers" in the tenants. You get that out of the box, no development needed. You can read more here: https://zitadel.com/blog/multi-tenancy-with-organizations
Also, you can self-host ZITADEL which is not available for all solutions, but is quite a selling point when talking to enterprise customers.

I think the b2b niche was already mentioned in this thread. But I don't think it is underserved, as many vendors jump onto that. Healthcare and Manufacturing are two sectors that are hard to crack with IAM for their special requirements. The tools I've seen are working but very expensive and customized. Yet also the two sectors are very traditional (read: on-prem AD) and need a lot of work if they want to move to more federated IAM systems.
Signals at 1000 Terahertz should definitely be avoided. It is rather unfortunate that they're broadcast so strongly around the entire globe on a daily basis. Stick to signals below 790Thz and they're generally pretty safe as long as the power isn't high enough to cause burns.

> Intel should have bought Acorn, not Olivetti.

Intel had StrongARM though. IIRC they made best ARM cpus in the early 2000s and were designing their own cores. Then Intel decided to get rid of it because obviously they were just wasting money and could design a better x86 mobile chip…
But most likely won't.
> Sure, power levels are a bit higher

Quite the contrary: Power levels are just as high as they need to be for phones to still be able to receive them.

We're talking dozens of watt of transmission power spread over hundreds of square kilometers. That's microwatts per square meter, of non-ionizing radiation no less. It's not even worth thinking about.
I suppose the question isn't whether one would be incentivized at all by an additional grant, but whether the additional incentive would be worth the cost. Another question is whether one could get other benefits (e.g., attention/time guarantees) that may have a better return on the price.

None of these articles are reviewing the future product line: they are merely reviewing the one product you can buy today. Of that product sucks but its successors in a year or two will be great--or even if this product with some major software update becomes awesome--that is entirely irrelevant. The original reviews of the iPhone weren't wrong just because some different later thing that was part the same product line earned a better review.

I was recently in a country that strictly controls internet communications. Like, total lockdown absolutely forbidden levels of control. I spent my time there constantly wondering about the inevitable advent of ubiquitous wireless communication via things like Starlink and what the effects would be on these totalitarian regimes.

Edit: I didn't mean to focus on Starlink specifically. Eventually it won't just be Starlink up there, and likely our mobile devices will need less and less power to communicate with those satellites. So I'm less interested in the effects of Starlink and more on satellite communications generally.

Let's say you invested in Tesla for your pension and you see that the board give Must 3.5 years of company profits as bonus, nullifying any company profit for that time:

"Tesla ended Q4 2023 with a net income of $7.9 billion and the full year with $15 billion in profits" , that money is more 3 years of profit, meaning that the company , after that compensation, must wait almost 4 years, if the trend remains that one, to generate profit !

Are you happy in that case ? EV market is now more competitive, it's no more the time when Tesla was founded, Mercedes has a better autonomous guidance system, there are plenty of alternative EV brands, moving that kind of money int the pocket of one of the owners a good move or you are crippling the company because you are taking away money could be user for R&D, for example, killing the company in years ?

Or you think they are slowly burning your savings. Maybe you are not a billionaire, that are all your saving.

Let's go further, most lucrative automaker is Toyota, Tesla is 5 position under in that top 10. If I take the CEO of Toyota, giving him double salary, to manage Tesla, without 55 billion bonus, will the company be mismanaged ? I don't think so, Musk isn't the only "genius" able to run a carmaker company and, in fact, there are at least 6 guys are doing a better job. Obviously there is the marketing benefit of the Musk brand associated to Tesla, but, men, 55B$, is it worth ???

IMHO, he did need money for Twitter and used Tesla as his own wallet, ignoring correct management practices and acting not in best interest of the company , de facto crippling its grown. Plus, CEO also owning company big shares percentage, often reduce their salary and benefits because , you know, it's your best interest work to increase company value because that enrich yourself.

So I really don't understand because someone think judge's sentence is unfair : again , I have shares in a company where the same happen, I also call my lawyer. Also, I expect that the judge deliberate to guarantee the rights of all shareholders, independently by the quote they own and in the best interest of the company existence and grown. Think the judge did, IMHO.

You can have Starlink in Iran already, but neither in Russia or China.
Very likely there isn't, but if there was, I'd look at the transmitters right next to you, not at the ones hundreds of kilometers away in the sky. The radiation received from the former vs. the latter is so many orders of magnitude larger, the comparison only makes sense on a log scale – and even then it's very, very small.

If you want to minimize the risk of adverse health effects, turn off your smartphone and computer (not because of the radiation, but because you'll be exposed to less worrying conspiracy theories).
