The only research I've seen says that binaural are no more effective then monarual across the population.

But also, our stimulation isn't music, it's sound. It is 50ms timed near the peak of a slow-wave, so completely different mechanisms.

When people ask what it sounds like, my response is "if I gave you a pill, you wouldn't ask what it tastes like".

So I'm not the person to ask about binaural beats.
Pentagon calls for tighter integration between military and commercial space
In computer programming, you can get say a ~10x speed improvement between writing bit twiddling code in python and hand writing SIMD assembly to do the same job.

Is there a similar gaping gap between writing verilog for something, vs hand-designing the lookup tables and laying out the FPGA routing?
There are places I avoid going due to inadequate parking. I assume business would take that into account when deciding where to lease space. Why does the government have to be involved with this?

To answer my own question, I think the externalities of insufficient parking space is something government could address. Like by allowing much stricter enforcement of parking prohibitions. Or just outright not allowing street side parking. Like governments don’t typically provide free houses to people, why should they give free house to personal vehicles? Why should my take dollars go to pay for storage of other people’s personal al property?
You're right that the violence and devastation Israel has laid upon Gaza has historic precedence. Genghis Khan completely destroyed cities that he considered cultural enemies, to give one example. You'll find many instances of genocide in the history books, even post WW2. Israel is not unique in that regard either.

But why does it matter? Does historical barbarity justify present day barbarity? It doesn't, and we all know it doesn't.

It's not the case that Israel is held to a higher standard. Russia has been widely condemned, blocked from international finance, and faces severe sanctions. On top of that, western countries have given substantial military and intelligence aid to Ukraine. Russia had reasons for their invasion of Ukraine (just like Israel has its reasons), but so what? Russia being angry at Ukraine is not a justification for destroying the country.

I also take issue with your characterization that Gaza "started it". This is a 70+ year conflict with many chapters of violence in it, and innocent Palestinians make up the bulk of the casualties. Israel is not the victim here.

Finally, it's not accurate to talk about Israel/Gaza as two nations at war. Israel controls everything coming in and going out of Gaza, electricity, water, etc. Palestine is not an independent country or a state, it's part of Israel except its citizens have no rights.
So courteous of the Times to tell Israel how they should (or rather, should not) defend themselves against those whose stated goal is to wipe them off the face of the earth.

It's really not possible for the police to do this. Regardless, GP's comment was about one or a small number of people showing up to cause trouble. In reality, the police can pretty much do nothing to prevent this. If they could, there really wouldn't be any robberies or murder.

Good points. I should have writting Zionists.

Just like this war is not about Judaism or Islam, there are Israelis, who regret the actions of their government and military. And there are many jewish people out there, who have said "Not in our name!". Lets not forget them. This is not about Jews or being Jewish. But Zionists do not care about actual Judaism. They care about power and expansion.

What I do find sad though is, that there are also many non-military Israelis online, who still seem to have some kind of national pride and think that Israel is the best country in the world, while actually their country is being overtaken by right wing extremist militarists. Maybe it is compensating/copium for knowing, that the country they live in has no regard for human rights, ongoing for decades and the shame that comes with that.

Lets not forget what happened before the newer hot phase of the war Israel is waging. Tenthoudands of people demonstrating against Netanyahu's intention to limit the power of the judges, presumably to absolve himself from his own corruption. But now we need those voices to cancel Netanyahu, if they still can and their country has not already been lost to some kind of autocracy.

I don't think that's true.

I think tesla has the most features of any EV. They started off with a clean slate and have done quite well. Their EVs have had the best Coefficient of Drag, have had state-of-the-art batteries, and some amazing motors as far as efficiency and/or power.

Unfortunately, they started cheaping out. No dashboard on the model 3 and too many functions on the touchscreen, like defrost.

They've done this sort of thing with every iteration, and now the latest cars have no gearshift lever/stalk (car guesses which direction you want), there are no stalks for turn signal, wipers, flashing headlights, etc.

the newest steering wheel moved many of these functions to touch areas on the wheel itself horn wipers. And the buttons move with the wheel, so you need to take that into account when you aren't going straight. what if you're on a curve and need to access wipers?

The touchscreen is a mess. First, the moving touchscreen is incredibly hard to touch in a moving vehicle and there is nowhere to rest your hand while you attempt it. For example, turning on the defrost or fog lights.

I sort of wish the NHTSA extended the rules requiring a dedicated emergency flasher button to more of these critical functions a good driver needs to access directly.

The FAA and the military take this stuff seriously for aircraft. They investigate accidents, and if a confusing control is the cause, they follow up and make changes. If only the millions of drivers of cars had someone to get their back.

Twitch left Korea because of their crazy fees that would be prohibited under net neutrality. ISPs double dip and charge websites/companies like twitch, Youtube, etc to deliver data and also charge their users money at the same time.
https://restofworld.org/2024/south-korea-twitch-exit-problem...

>The problem stems from a “sender pays” rule instituted by South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT in 2016, to address the growing interconnection demands of video streaming and other bandwidth-intensive services. The rule requires companies to compensate the receiving networks for the traffic they send. It’s meant to tax heavy senders like Netflix and YouTube. Livestreaming sites like Twitch face particularly steep fees, as low latency is critical for live content.

>The “sender pays” model has been widely criticized by net neutrality advocates: In a recent statement calling for the repeal of the rule in the wake of Twitch’s exit, Open Net Korea warned that it “devastates the domestic content ecosystem” and “fragments the internet.”

One doesn't need an example from just a few months ago to see why this is a bad idea. Acting like the internet is so different today than 5/10 years ago so you can try to dismiss good examples is silly and acting in bad faith.

Decentralization is a myth.
Door to door metric is interesting. Bicycles actually shine there, you can save 5 to 20 minutes at every stop on your errand by parking directly in front of the store/destination rather than finding parking and walking in & back out. It's a really significant amount of time, speaks to how much is saved by cutting out unnecessary stops & going directly to your destination.

More so though, door-to-door is probably the most charitable metric for driving compared to trains. I presume door-to-door drive time is not assuming peak rush hour traffic?

Which is what makes the metric a bit weird: (A) makes odd assumptions about traffic conditions, (B) does not take into account that you can save time by being on a train - you can sleep, eat, do work, relax, pee when you want to, whatever.. If you drive door-to-door, all you will have done is likely just driven door to door. Less so with a train trip.
Trans rights are certainly not regressing. In the 90's, slurs about ladyboys, chicks with dicks, and so on and so forth were the norm in basically any social circle. The concept of an actual, real trans man or woman was completely alien to society.

Homosexuality follows pretty much the same pattern with a head start.

Women are achieving far better to the extent that some are starting to feel as if we've left young boys behind.

Gaza sucks, but we've always had wars. Ask a survivor about WW2.

Climate change is about the only thing on your list that is actually worth worrying about in an existential sense. We are worrying about it a LOT more as a society as we did back then, we just may not be doing enough about it.

It basically sounds as if you've gotten stuck on, say, people having debates about trans women in sport, and catastrophised that into somehow the whole world is going to shit. Maybe if you're a gay trans woman who ties most of their happiness into being able to broadcast their sexuality and gender identity then a reason to be upset might be that society isn't 100% accepting. You have to admit that's a super rare position to be in, though, and it's a hell of a lot easier than it was hiding in the closet in the 70s.
It's a shame not everything is for sale.

While those are of the same era, the goto issue was its own whole issue, generally referring to goto statements in a give block of code, and not talking about subroutines.

While this, as you note, often led to mass refusal to use a goto, the effect of the paper led to much discussion and presaged the practice of much better control flow constructs in languages.

No they're not. The dependency circle jerk went so far to prompt NPM to display all subsequent dependencies on each libraries page.

If you have the time, could you explain what you mean by "Q5 is minimum"? Did you determine that by trying the different models and finding this one is best, or did someone else do that evaluation, or is that just generally accepted knowledge?

In my experience, config.cache fails to properly separate platform feature tests from build configuration options, so you need to delete config.cache if any build options change. It is extremely brittle and buggy. config.cache is definitely not suitable as a basis for for platforms to provide pre-cooked answers to platform feature tests.
The check is easily bypassed, so most people who can manage that will wink and load 11 anyway. You're right that anyone who can't figure out how to bypass the check may indeed end up replacing their PC.
I said "ordinarily". I meant "this is what you'd expect from them by paying them". Obviously this is a big fauxpas on their end and I'd reconsider using their services after this scenario. After all, security hardening upstream packages is among the reasons you're supposed to use them.
> There's no "factual" definition of "enough" as "enough" is subjective.

I agree. Which is why "enough" is not an objective threshold of 100% of surplus value.

> I'm also not sure what you're trying to argue.

I'm arguing that "less than 100% means not enough" is an incorrect statement. That's all. The bulk of your post isn't relevant to what I was saying.

(To be extra clear, that's my paraphrase of this line: "in a very literal sense, pay can never be enough because it is economically necessary to underpay workers relative to what they contribute because profit by definition can only exist from surplus value, i.e. making more money from selling the product of labor than you pay for that labor.")

> But you're still agreeing that the measure for "enough" [...] A better rebuke would be that "enough" is normally about need, not revenue.

But I did address that. "I feel like the lifestyle you can buy with the pay matters too, but even if we ignore that aspect,"
JPEG has a fixed macroblock size (16x16 pixels), which negatively affects high resolution low bitrate images.

If you must use JPEG, I suspect you might get better visual quality by halving the resolution and upsampling on the client.

By doing so, you are effectively setting the lower and right halves of the DCT to zero (losing all high resolution info), but get to have 32x32 pixel macroblocks which lets you better make use of low frequency spacial patterns.

I really wonder about unintended consequences. It's exciting to be able to store solar as methane because we can "plug" this new synthetic methane easily into existing infrastructure. (But we have to get better at leak management!)

However, you almost always go through huge underground methane pockets when drilling for oil. So oil drilling stations vent / flare methane when they can't "off site" it, like when natural gas pipelines are at capacity. In those moments, the price of methane actually drops below zero--I've seen it at -$1.20 per MMBtu as recently as this year! Essentially you are paying someone to get rid of the stuff for you.

So... if we flood the market with new, cost-effective synthetic methane... will companies just flare more of it as we drill for oil?
Yes, instruction sets these days are significantly more useful.

To do recursion in those old machines, one would need to build your own stack mechanism, but there would still be issues to take care of, as there was no native way to use anything but global storage.

I didn't imply constant Googling. IDK about you but I frequently work with frameworks and tools I have not encountered before and I find GPT-4 to do a far better job of giving me quick and straightforward answers about how these tools work than Google. Not just one-off "how do I do X", or "explain this syntax", but also things like "how does framework X handle Y", etc.

I even use it to figure out how to find settings that are buried in cluttered UIs.

> how come using those platforms with numerous issues are not a 'policy problem?

Yes, it is, in a way- there is an implicit endorsement. That has to be balanced with the opportunity to craft messages directly to the audience the potentially problematic platform serves. But use does not entail responsibility.

FB/Twitter were/are policy problems, but their operation is not the responsibility of any specific actor in government. The issue is more diffuse.

> Twitter was hacked, the POTUS account was used to promote crypto scam, and this is not a "policy" issue?

Yes, it was a problem for Twitter, because they were the operator. The statements made under the POTUS account were not actually made by POTUS. So not really a policy problem for POTUS.

> Threads is owned by a company who has repeatedly involved in scandals about how data is handled, how is that not a "policy" issue?

Sure, but the government is not the operator. It is not responsible for Meta's failings.

> I honestly don't buy this argument. If the government position was that nothing on social media should be "official" and this is why any presence gets less oversight, okay. If the position is that the presence is official as long as the participants adhere to govt guidelines, okay. But those same guidelines could be applied on a public-owned platform.

Neither of those is the rule.

When a designated government voice speaks, that's "official", no matter what medium through which that speech occurs.

There may be problems with the medium, and the government authorities responsible for regulating those problems will take those issues up with the medium. They are responsible for regulating, not responsible for operating. The government entity using the medium will often continue to do so, even when there is a seeming conflict.

One sees this all the time in the financial sphere, where there are many regulators and many service providers which in theory need to be in compliance with the requirements of the various regulators but every day there are questions and disputes and claims and counter-claims and so forth. It happens all the time that one government agency is making use of a service provider for something while another government agency is suing that same service provider.

> What I don't get is that they can claim that their presence is official while on the private platforms but are somehow unable to act in the same way if the platform was public.

Yeah- it's completely different, if by "public" you mean "substantially controlled or operated by a government entity." Because then government is both accountable and responsible. When it's a private operator, the operator is responsible, and government at best is just accountable, if something really bad happens.
Not everyone is in this situation though. My wife is a stay at home mom because there is no way any after-tax wage she could earn would exceed the cost of child-care. So it makes more financial sense for her to stay home.
I am not sure it is really a paradox though.

It is straight from Buddhist text that the desire for things that are not easy to get leads to misery.

It isn't a paradox that a culture predicated on the idea that happiness comes from the acquisition of things that are hard to get would find itself producing misery if Buddhist text are correct. That is exactly what they say will happen.
