Typical how? Weight as defined how? Here is one way of looking at it.

First, look at purchasing power of various governments. See https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/field/real-gdp-purcha....

> Real GDP (purchasing power parity): GDP (purchasing power parity) compares the gross domestic product (GDP) or value of all final goods and services produced within a nation in a given year. A nation's GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates is the sum value of all goods and services produced in the country valued at prices prevailing in the United States.

Second, look at COGS for Apple: "Apple annual cost of goods sold for 2021 was $212.981B" according to https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AAPL/apple/cost-go.... COGS is arguably "close enough" to a nation-state's GDP to make for a useful comparison.

Given the above two, if Apple were a country with a GDP matching its COGS, it would rank about 66th, using a mix of 2022/2021 numbers from the sources above:

1 China $24,861B
2 United States $21,132B
3 India $9,279B
4 Japan $5,126B
5 Germany $4,523B
6 Russia $4,027B
7 Indonesia $3,246B
8 United Kingdom $3,136B
9 Brazil $3,128B
10 France $3,048B
11 Turkey $2,817B
12 Italy $2,478B
13 Mexico $2,418B
14 South Korea $2,289B
15 Canada $1,832B
...
36 Switzerland $618B
37 Belgium $600B
38 Sweden $580B
39 Singapore $578B
40 Ireland $516B
...
63 Kenya $251B
64 New Zealand $220B
65 Burma $217B
66 Dominican Republic $207B
67 Angola $204B
68 Kuwait $192B
69 Ecuador $190B
70 Belarus $184B
...
150 Namibia $23.1B
151 Kosovo $21.2B
152 South Sudan $20.0B
153 Iceland $20.0B
154 Somalia $19.4B
...
220 Palau $248M
221 Falkland Islands $206M
222 Anguilla $175M
223 Montserrat $167M
224 Nauru $149M
225 Wallis and Futuna $60M
226 Tuvalu $55.2M
227 Saint Helena... $31.1M
228 Niue $18.7M
229 Tokelau $7.7M

But I wouldn't stop here. What happens if we compare Apple's COGS with the _technology spend_ of each of the nation-states above? If we estimate that 10% of GDP is technology-related, making it comparable to Apple, then Apple's ranking would be 15th on the list, right in front of Canada.

But the lack of ridigity also means that it's actually quite hard to control someone through it.

If you grab someone's leg, especially near the foot/ankle, you are relying on the rigidity of the joints to be able to control their torso (and therefore their ability to fight back). The most disadvantageous position to be in is to have someone behind you, while they fully control your ankle/foot. Now you can't fully turn your body to face your opponent.

For a sufficiently flexible tail, that would not be the case. Some could be behind you and control your tail near the tip, and you could still fully turn into your attacker with your torso.

This isn't to say that a tail can't become a liability.
Never.

Actually, considering how low the birth rates in developed countries are, humans would probably (very slowly) become less and less suitable for modern life.
Independence referendum of 1991 was about whether UkrSSR will admit the dissolution of already defunct USSR or if it will continue its quasi-state existence. Even then they didn't get everybody on board.

It was not a referendum on "independence from Russia" because UkrSSR and RSFSR were distinct entites for 60 years already.

Then again, people could change their mind about being a part of the state of Ukraine.
i'm not oblivious to the improvements, but the nostalgia goggles always forget a lot of basic experiences.

I could keep going with the bad parts forever, but my point is that when people talk about geocities and napster they forget about what a shitshow the rest of computing was for the majority; this didn't stop them from partaking -- it was still amazing , but it was the Wild West in a lot more ways than it even is today, and I say that as someone who still views the net in that regard.

It not only has to be convenient, but also to be sexually selected (partners with that seen as more attractive) or helping with survivability (partners with that live longer and get to reproduce more), which ain't really applicable anyway.

Which is the reason we don't have traits for any other minor "convenience" attribute either, but instead for long standing evolutionary benefits.
> If Ukraine gives up, people will be genocided

This sounds a lot like propaganda. Also, "giving up" doesn't mean giving up unconditionally. An agreement can be made that provides guarantees for the safety of the people.
I'd speculate English speakers are used to being part of a society where non-English speakers are present and politically important. It is polite not to assume that English = language. Even on the British Isles English isn't a universal thing. Let alone somewhere like America where it isn't even native.

"Language" just doesn't mean "English". In Australia if someone is talking about "language" on its own I'd assume they're Aboriginal advocates.

the audio setup is pretty clever. I was looking at how to do the same and it's surprisingly hard to figure out an audio switch. some niche very expensive bits of kit but even those aren't really any input-output combinations.
Not quite. They don't offer out of the box managed services like DigitalOcean. No one-click MongoDB or stuff like that. No out of the box Kubernetes.

You basically get Networking, Compute and Storage. Everything else you have to build on top.

You will also get stuff like Terraform provider, SDKs and so on.

Note that this advice is wrong if you have a device with good software and settings. (aka maximum and minimum charge settings). Smaller more frequent charges are easier on a battery than less frequent larger charges of the same magnitude. Better to go from 70% to 80% five times than to go from 30% to 80% once. Especially on a laptop that doesn't have battery cooling.

Even worse, unplugging your laptop makes it use battery charge, adding additional wear to your battery.

Virtually all EV's have good software, so your electric car should be plugged into a charger as often as possible. It should be the same for laptops, unless you have one that is poorly configured; most are.
For managing (storing) files I've concluded that it is impossible to find the ideal hierarchical structure for containing everything, so just go for reasonable structures that might have redundancy - for instance, accepting macos photos' way of organizing photos, adding in another directory for photos not managed by the photos app, plus photos that I include in my journal which is yet another set of directories.

For finding things, I've found it impossible to give sufficiently unique names to everything, and just go for names that are somewhat descriptive. If there is a way to annotate them with descriptions, I try to make the descriptions as complete as possible, am diligent with proper spelling and try to use canonical forms in my descriptions. I also try to settle on a standard set of words I use instead of their synonyms. This allows me to use standard searching mechanisms to find things without worrying about whether I am searching for the right word. I can with confidence to a system-wide search without worrying whether I'm searching using the right words: because I know which word from a set of synonyms to use, because I don't have to worry about finding misspelled variants, and because I know which order I will have put the words in
This is what I use (primarily using self-hosted, open-source solutions where possible).

For documents like invoices, correspondence, etc, I scan them into paperless-ngx.[0] You can apparently set it up to monitor an email inbox and automatically store certain emails or attachments using rules, but I just take the old fashioned approach of adding scanning them in and saving them manually.

I backup all photos to a Nextcloud[1] instance. Periodically, I will go through all my recent photos and organise them. Travel-related photos go in trip-specific directory ("Travel -> [year] -> [trip name]"). Everything else just goes in a "Photos -> [year] -> [month]" directory. Unfortunately this won't help you find the photo of you wearing a cap unless you know where or when it was taken. I believe there are some AI-based solutions out there but I haven't tried them.

For contact details, I store these centrally on Nextcloud using its Contacts app[2] (which uses vCard and CardDAV). I can then access it using any standard contact book software (I use the CardBook addon[3] for Thunderbird and Fossify Contacts[4] on Android).

Similar for calendar - host it via Nextcloud (using CalDAV)[5] and access it from my preferred calendar software.

Joplin[6] for notes (again synced via Nextcloud).

The process is kind of half-automated, half-manual. I don't think there is a good solution to fully automate any of this stuff, particularly in the FOSS space. If you keep on top of organisation it's not that painful and doing things like organising photos and adding upcoming events to your calendar can be fun.

Nextcloud is really good at acting as a hub for your data and speaking to a variety of clients using traditional, open protocols like CalDAV and CardDAV.

New 'Exercise Pill' Could Induce Fitness Benefits Without Exercise
Humanity in general, and the Internet in particular, is pretty bad at creating things that will outlive their founders/users. Ideally, you could just found some site, set it in motion, and just never touch it again, and it will humm along for all of eternity. Unfortunately, things require maintenance or they could fall over next time your VM reboots, and things require payment or the service disappears. Some infrastructure your automation relies on could change out from under you. Your host or domain registrar might make surprise changes to your service. If you're self-hosting, there are a different set of failure modes: Your ISP can take you down, your physical site could lose power, your hardware could fail.

I really don't trust anything to actually outlive me.

It looks like you are linking a website that is outright fake or just satire. The first competition listed was won by a cis woman, and lists the woman who placed ninth as should have been first (despite the other two 'below' her finishing second and third retrospectively).

It's a book. Paper bark or parchment. . The Aztecs didn't have full writing in the sense of a system to represent a spoken language. Aztec codices are more to the calendar and graphic end of things. (But I could be wrong, since so few examples, are truly from pre-exchange times.)

The primacy of stone is a misconception. The following applies not just to the Aztecs, but also Sumer and Babylon, Egypt, the Maya, etc: the primary writing material for all of these civilizations was not stone. It was perishable materials, including parchment, wood bark, wax tablets, papyrus in Egypt, or just drawing in a pile of fine sand to do some arithmetic. (Babylon and its fired clay is a bit of an exception, maybe. But they also wrote on wood, bark paper and cloth, among other things.)

That means we only get monumental inscriptions. I'm more familiar with the Maya, who did have a complete writing system for spoken language, and we strongly suspect the Maya had literature in the same way the Egyptians, Chinese or Sumerians did. Poetry anthologies, mythological anthologies, religious texts, and also textbooks on medicine and astronomy, etc. Obviously, they didn't carve those on monuments, they wrote them on the closest analogue to paper they had.

Unfortunately, neither Mexico's meteorological climate nor Spain's religious climate at the time was conducive to preserving such fragile books.
To me, the vinyl sample sounded a bit 'louder', but as I understood the article, it should be the opposite way?

" faking 750 artist names"

Why would this be problematic? Artist commonly work under one or more pseudonyms. 750 is quite a lot for sure, but is there material difference between that and just a few?
ME is a bit more than that. To enable remote access functionality, the ME has:

* Access to all memory of the host device.
* Ability to make and receive network requests, transparent (invisible) to the host device.
* Access to all other communications, buses, and devices of the host device.
* Can execute CPU commands at the highest privilege level.
* Accepts updates that are signed by Intel's signing key.

This means that it's quite possible for a web page to deliver a series of "magic bytes" that a backdoored ME listens to, and then immediately executes instructions.

Various controls, like the UK and Australia, have laws in force that can compel companies like Intel to sign using its signing key.

Before you think this doesn't affect someone in the US, it is widely known that five-eyes uses each other's capabilities and privileges and acts collectively.

I find AI answers wrong a lot of the times.
I try to maintain a structure for important stuff (documents, photos, decades of emails, etc.) that can be copied or backed up as needed.

If I find a need to create an order out of chaos (e.g., for thousands of the electronic books I have) I find it best to sketch up a top-level directory view of how I want it; then switching to this method and occasionally cleaning up one-off additions is not hard. My 2c.
You are very unlikely to hear a difference like this on laptop speakers. Present-day Apple laptop speakers are great feats of engineering for what they are, but they use a bunch of trickery to create the illusion of bass and such. Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_fundamental

Even with decent headphones, the difference between these samples isn't trivial to spot, unless you have moderately trained ears.

I'm not an audio professional but I have a great interest in this space. My first impression is that the the bass in the second sample stands out a bit more in the mix, perhaps thanks to higher dynamic range. The high range is muted and the mid range in the percussion and such may be more pronounced.

That's not to say you're wrong about audiophiles. A lot of claims made by this subculture are nonsense and especially not applicable to situations where an everyday person seeks some improvement to their audio reproduction.

For example, lossy audio codecs have a bad reputation among certain people, due to old technology. Mp3 is undoubtedly garbage, 90s tech. If I waste a bunch of time on blind tests, I can spot even a 320 kbps mp3 sample with my regular listening headphones. Lower bitrates are a lot more obvious to spot.

However, this problem is gone for almost all people in most listening environments, mine included. This is thanks to the more modern lossy delivery codecs at decent bitrates, as employed by the the premium tiers of the big streaming services, which are Vorbis (Spotify) and AAC (Apple and most others) and Opus (Youtube Music in some circumstances).

Archival and editing copies of audio should obviously be lossless. Generational loss over lossy media are as real with digital re-encodes as with analog tape.

A regular person who wants to improve their listening experience can easily get decent headphones now. However, anyone who wants to invest in a better shared listening experience than a decent portable mono Bluetooth speaker can offer, should probably start by thinking through the the acoustics of the room they want to listen in.

This doesn't have to be fancy, just having shelves with actual books on the walls in the direction looking towards a speaker system does a lot.

Spending more than 200 USD on speakers in a room with blank walls is ridiculous, unless it's a log cabin. Those actually sound great.

I don't, I was just using it as a point of comparison against Oxide's own software stack.
Getting the same performance and feature out a mainframe will be considerably expensive I would guess. And in addition to that you are buying into an incredibly closed ecosystem where prices only go up from there.

You are also paying for a bunch of stuff you don't need. Most people just don't need to hot swap a CPU or turn these single socket 128 core machines into a gigantic 4096 machine either.

Simply moving virtual machine off and restarting or replacing a sled is enough for the waste majority of use-cases.

This is still pretty much commodity single socket server platforms, just with more sane and open firmware and a sane open source software stack.
