The phrase I used is “extraordinarily precise.” When you’re conducting a medical trial of 10,000 patients there’s always a high probability (virtually a certainty) that one measurement will be inaccurate. You can live with this minimal error rate because there’s so much data that a small amount of error doesn’t invalidate the results. If you’re conducting an experiment involving a single asteroid, then every link along the chain of evidence had better be airtight, and validated to a level that wouldn’t be cost-effective or practical in other circumstances. There can’t be a 0.1% or a 1% or a 10% or (god forbid) a 50+% chance that the substance you’re presenting is something other than what you claim it is.

ISP's Landmark Piracy Liability Case Doesn't Get a Do-Over in Appeals Court
(Replying to myself)

I guess one answer to this is that particles which are (supposedly?) massless, like the photon, are affected by the space-time warping effects of gravity. A parallel construction wouldn't be true of magnetism or an electric field. Furthermore, when we detect gravity waves, they come at the same time as corresponding gamma ray bursts; since the gamma rays are affected by the space-time warping effects of gravity, this means that the gravity waves themselves are affected by the space-time warping effects of gravity.

So gravity probably is something else. But who knows!
Have you tried fresh halibut? I don't like fish generally, including salmon, but actual Alaskan halibut (not flounder deliberately mislabeled as halibut) is quite tasty, to me.

See my comment above. Marine wildlife sanctuaries are very effective at replenishing stock.

Also, it’s not always realistic to farm fish. It’s not always possible. And the quality is often much worse given farming practices.

Projects in US instead catered to house the poorest part of society thus they became fertile ground to breed criminality and further ghetto-ization. Giving people houses in areas where there's no real jobs or connection downtown makes things even worse.

It's no surprise that a country with a better public transport, such as the UK, made its projects a largely successful experiment. In Eastern Europe this kind of housing too was aimed at the masses, not the poor.

I would not say that the issue was the city planning per se. The US is filled by poor neighborhoods/open space ghettos too.
> the acceleration meter won't measure any force because gravity is acting on every part of it uniformly

No. The acceleration meter won't measure anything because there is nothing to measure. An object in free fall is in free fall; there is no "gravity" acting on it at all. It's just as if the object were floating out in deep space, far from all gravitating bodies. That's the point of the equivalence principle.

> If you had an acceleration meter entirely made out of the same magnetic substance, and you brought a magnet near it, would the acceleration meter register anything

Yes. Electromagnetism, weak, and strong interactions all make the acceleration meter register nonzero, even if the act "equally" on all parts of an object.
This is a thing intel didn’t care about doing. The government wants the fab strategically so is incentivizing them to do it. It has nothing to do with intel’s profitability otherwise.

> I'm curious how this is otherwise an improvement on the old planning model of swathes of detached homes?

It's not. (Or at least, I'm not arguing it's better). My only point is that "more density" isn't the magic bullet fix people sometimes think it is -- because the US is doing a lot more density than we historically have in the past 60-ish years, and it's not meaningfully different in terms of lifestyle or planning.

If you want good alternative public transit, you have to just decide to build it first, and you kind-of have to do it almost everywhere nearby. (not just Division St, not just Woodward Ave, not just Hiawatha Ave, etc).

"Crank up density" doesn't magically result in a "car-free" city. You can't townhouse your way into having the Chicago Elevated, you have to actually decide to build the L. (similar to, say, Seattle SoundTransit)

Does a rebalance fix it? I have once (and only once, back when it was new) hit a "out of disk space" situation with btrfs, and IIRC rebalancing was enough to fix it.

It might have been a common use case back when btrfs was new (though I doubt it, most users of btrfs probably created the filesystem from scratch even back then), but I doubt it's a common use case nowadays.
It's because blood bags are typically pre-filled with a measured dose of an anticoagulant to increase how long the blood can be stored. If they're only partially filled there will be too much anticoagulant for the volume of blood.

I believe the most common anticoagulant used today is Citrate Phosphate Dextrose Adenine Solution (CPDA-1), which doesn't have a Wikipedia page, but it's mentioned on the page for the the older acid-citrate-dextrose:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid-citrate-dextrose

However, I agree that volumes of blood per donation (which varies by country) are sometimes so big that it probably discourages many potential donors. It's possible that demanding such a large quantity from each donor reduces the total amount of blood donated.

It's overkill for normal office use but the space shuttle is going to have some massive vibration and mechanical shock during launch. All systems have to be ruggedized to withstand the environment. A commercial unit might not survive the trip up and building some sort of vibration damping system for it might take up more space. If the manufacturer can't guarantee the uptime for the commercial unit, they might need a spare aboard as well also in its own special dampener case. Sometimes it just makes sense to do a custom design that meets your needs instead of trying to make a square peg fit a round hole. Also the related systems have to be considered. The Shuttle had a power bus of 28VDC, were there any commercial printers that took 28VDC and had proper EMI filtering? Were commercial printers compatible with the types of data signals expected on the Shuttle? You may need to build some sort of adapter to make a commercial printer work with the data and power systems. You may end up with something just as heavy and bulky and still not as reliable.

Now that I think about it I actually used to drive past them sometimes! Only one of them shows up on Waffle House's own map, though.

Here's an article talking about double Waffle Houses, from 2019, when the older of the two at Buford Highway / I-285 closed: https://www.tonetoatl.com/2019/07/Waffle-House-Closed-Buford... - they mention the pair on Chamblee-Tucker. Apparently one is catering-only, which probably explains why it doesn't show on the map. They also mention pairs that used to exist at Clairmont Road near I-85 and Lawrenceville Highway near I-285. Apparently WH is trying to reduce the number of these.

There are fair-use protections, but it costs money to defend. Part of why so many Smash tournaments folded in 2022 was because of Nintendo telling people they weren't allowed to host tourneys using their IP. Granted I'm not a lawyer, but people gathering to play a multiplayer game and then streaming the matches doesn't inherently constitute any infringement on Nintendo's rights or ability to make money. Many TOs (tournament organizers) left the scene or stopped featuring Smash as a title over the C&D notice. No one wanted to take on Nintendo in court.

Kind of. Some TOs are calling Nintendo's bluff. Nintendo released a set of guidelines[0] on what kinds of tournaments can be hosted. However, Collision 2024 just happened with attendees and a prize pool surpassing the guidelines.

Yup this makes no sense. Note that the original is also wrong: "How does Paris stays Paris...".

To me Paris is not Paris at all anymore.

The government is in damage control before the olympic games and shall try to hide that Paris is not Paris anymore but Paris honestly became a sad thing to see.

There are many tourists having an actual shock and it can be really bad: if I'm not mistaken japanese even have a hotline they can call if they're in shock when they discover the shithole that Paris as become as opposed to the rosy picture of Paris that is painted abroad.
Beyond speculation. Nintendo is known to not fuck around, thanks to its leaks.

In one of the various Nintendo leaks in the past few years was a bunch of documentation of "Operation Belgian Waffle", their attempt to "Knock and Talk" with a private investigator, law enforcement, and Nintendo Legal visiting a fairly well-known hacker in the scene. All of this was being spearheaded and commanded by Nintendo of Japan towards the subsidiaries in other countries.

Look at there financial history, they are still making big bets that may or may not pay off. Sustaining losses for years is a fine strategy when money is loose but it's risky for someone looking to hand them billions.
There's a pair off of I-85 just north of Atlanta like that (see other comments to that post), so yeah, it wouldn't surprise me. Do both of them show up on Waffle House's map? It looks like they don't put the catering-only locations there - I guess they don't want people showing up?
I always read general recommendation for diets as conditioned under the culture for which the author lives in. Without the cultural aspect, it always sound like telling people in rice eating cultures that they should all shift to wheat because of lower methane emissions (or asking wheat eating cultures to switch to rice because of lower CO2 emissions, both arguments has a point).

I do want to see a cultural change towards seaweed and mollusks on a global scale. Nutrition rich runoff from farms create a lot of damage in oceans, lakes and rivers, and both seaweed and mollusks are great in picking up that excess nutrition. I would also like to see a change towards consuming overpopulated fish. It is a completely cultural phenomenon that we can have both overfishing and fish overpopulations at the same time (usually not the same type of fish).

I would also like to see a return towards using domesticated animals in order to replace combustion. Waste food should be prioritized towards animal feed rather than bio gas. Household animals used to be a common practice, and it allowed people to eat meat with much smaller footprint. Chickens are also excellent lawnmowers that do not operate on fossil fuels.

Nvidia was selling cards with hardware acceleration since 1997. The first one I own is from 1998, and its advantage wasn't that it had superior compute, but that it also included the non-3d circuitry of the rest of the video card. So instead of having a 2d card and a Voodoo, which were daisy chained, you could use that a lone Riva TNT that will do both. So they started being less about compute than the competition.

Between the first nvidia cards and the first release of CUDA, you have a decade.
There's nothing about RStudio that encourages big single files or writing huge unstructured scripts. RStudio is a pretty good IDE, and R is a highly expressive functional-first [0] language. R was heavily influenced by Scheme, and has its own powerful metaprogramming [1] system - which is used to great effect in Tidyverse[2] libraries to make APIs that are nicer and convenient than anything reasonably practical in Python.

The problem with a lot of end-user R code is that it is written by statisticians, not programmers. They'd write the same garbage and huge scripts in Python (trust me, I know).

They could force them to license the production to one to three other companies who kick back a percentage of the profits to Intel. That makes two to four suppliers who receive the $25 billion. Then, we have competing firms.

> Yes that’s right they detect the gravitational force exerted by the snow’s mass.

No, they don't. Gravimeters of the type you describe measure the coordinate acceleration of a freely falling test object in the accelerated frame of the gravimeter. In other words, it's the gravimeter (the part that isn't the freely falling test object) that has a force acting on it, which makes it accelerate upward (proper acceleration--an accelerometer attached to the gravimeter reads nonzero), and a freely falling test mass therefore appears to accelerate downward (coordinate acceleration in the frame of the gravimeter), just as if the gravimeter were inside an accelerating rocket out in deep space far from all gravitating bodies.

In other words, gravimeters of this type rely on the equivalence principle, which is the same principle that GR uses to justify the statement that gravity is not a force.
