This got me thinking about the old concept of the ether, which was supposedly debunked by the Michelson-Morley experiment. However, I don't think that experiment completely disproved the existence of the ether – it just showed that the classical ether theories were inconsistent with the observed constancy of the speed of light.

What if we consider the quantum vacuum, with its virtual particles and fluctuations, as a modern version of the ether? In that case, could the rotation of the Earth interact with this "quantum ether" and influence the propagation of the entangled photons in the Vienna experiment? It's kind of like the idea of frame dragging in general relativity, where the rotation of a massive object affects the surrounding spacetime geometry.

Of course, this is just speculation, and any theory involving an ether-like concept would need to be consistent with all the experimental evidence supporting relativity and quantum mechanics. But I think it's still worth exploring these ideas, as they could lead to new insights into the nature of space, time, and gravity.
Not that I disagree, but would you have commented if it were US jobseekers?
They do have an app that helps with that. That is small percentage of customers.

The argument is don't force all, 100% of customers to install an app, because it gets frustrating, and then you loose some percentage of customers that just walk away to order somewhere easier.
I don’t closely follow the space, but Anker has always seemed like reasonable quality at a reasonable price. Maybe I’m easily marketed to or something. But I’ve had quite a few adapters and cables and such from them and have never had an issue.
I’ve rented from individuals and it is fine. The real pain is the big corporate places that make it a business to do renting. They have the scale to be motivated to nickel and dime you about stupid stuff, and, like, living in a place where corporate policy types make all the rules is hell, but worse, because the demons are stupid as well as evil.

We should be really targeted in our regulations, hit places with more than, say, 10 tenants pretty hard. Regulate them out of existence, even. Then you’d have had less competition.
If this is really a big money saver, you'll see fast food restaurants reorganize their restaurant to be more like old Sonics - multiple ordering stations that are serviced by the window.

If you've never seen a Sonic, it's organized like a gas station. Replace gas pump with kiosk.

The AC75 class is now going very fast as well with foils, over 50kts.

Just recently the 40kt barrier was broken by hydrofoil windsurfers. Fins still have a higher top end but the gap has been closing. I'm not sure what design change will enable foils to be just as fast or if they hit a wall.

I've personally done about 24kts on foil and similar on fin and in some cases it's a bit terrifying in more chop. Others are much faster than that.

It would be the ethically correct option.
I am not the poster, but my guess here is that a point to point or radio setup which just needs to be good enough for humans to understand it (and even then just barely) is likely way worse quality than what would be needed for recording and feeding to a program

Bundling the time and the volume might be better called "forming a vector" or "forming an ordered pair" rather than "addition". You can then perform addition and subtraction with the resulting ordered pairs or vectors.

> Surely you don't intend to imply that the horse is ordering.

Haha no (should have explained), but riders are too high to be heard due to the directional microphones installed and you only effectively hear the horse. Same for very high seated cars (though I suspect this might be different in the US). Trucks are too tall and would hit the building so they are not a consideration for the one I worked at.

As you said, a simple alert system might work to solve this.
If you are willing to offer an extended warranty for X years, then that's pretty good evidence that I should be covered by the CGA for at least that long.
Did they?

The only thing which comes to mind is the mandatory "Billboard Class" support for USB-C adapters, which allows them to inform the device they're attached to that negotiation has failed. But that's not really anything physical on the adapter itself, it's essentially a super-simple read-only micro flashdrive.
You can have a pause-free GC, where the collector runs in a separate thread and never pauses the mutator threads.
Good point, but this would apply to ongoing debate. In this case person jumped in into conversation with the premise "I don't have time to listen to arguments but here's mine opinion".

The thing is, all the theories of communication for persuasion (Social Judgement Theory and Elaboration Likelihood Model mostly) boil down to "hear your audience". If you really want to convince or persuade anyone, the starting point is to understand what's in the head of the audience you are trying to persuade. It's not often easy to get this information, so you start by expressing your views and carefully listening to the answers and arguments of those who have different views.

So if you have a chance to get the arguments in advance – before communicating your opinion – it's a blessing. It's a free lunch for persuasive communication. You're given people's opinions and arguments on the plate, basically.

And here this free lunch is thrown away just to be replaced with "here is my opinion and I don't care about arguments" communication style. That's not a starting point for debate at all.
In every one of these threads: "why not a NUC!!?!!"

If you ever hope to deploy a bespoke board with whatever SOC you're using on it, you will never select an Intel or AMD chip. The level of supporting componentry is an order of magnitude more expensive, difficult to obtain, and not publicly documented.

You could spin an RK3399, RK3566, RK3568, RK3588 board today with nothing more than the SOC and potentially the accompanying PMIC (most of these SOCs and blessed PMICs have mainline Linux support): you cannot do this with the x86 chips.
Yes! I use Chisanbop for basic counting, but I never learned the advanced stuff.

Similar case with tp-link routers, https://websec.ca/publication/advisories/root-shell-tplink-w...
Like the sibling, I run opnsense. There are other similar things you can run, or maybe just a vanilla Linux / FreeBSD / OpenBSD.

I have it installed on an HP EliteDesk 800G2 SFF that my office was going to throw away. It has an i5-6500, 32 GB RAM, two Samsung 840 EVO SSDs and a 2x10Gb Mellanox card.

Before the Mellanox, it had an intel 4x1Gb, i350 IIRC.

I've run the PC with the intel card connected to a power meter and it was pulling 14-15W while running OPNsense and HomeAssistant, both in dedicated VMs. Some of the dedicated routers may be better than that, but when you factor in the price of the unit, mine isn't too bad, despite the rise in electricity costs here in France.

I don't have any other 10 Gb/s machine to test its max performance, but it could run PF with NAT at 2.5 Gb/s without breaking a sweat.

I had been running a Ubiquiti ERPoE-5, but after about seven years of service, the power electronics inside crapped out. The power brick is fine, with a steady 48V output, but the internals always ran ridiculously hot, and time finally caught up with it.

I'm getting by with a cheap TP-Link for now, but I'm thinking of getting a mini-PC with two NICs and enough oomph to run virtual machines well, and then putting VyOS on a VM. I've always liked the ERPoE's CLI capabilities (which were also a fork of Vyatta). I could probably put much of my former ERPoE config into a VyOS system.
Here the adjuster's motivations do matter. There is a definite moral dimension/motivation to the AI adjustment people's work. They are not simply striving for accuracy, for example, because they don't want the AI to produce outputs that are distasteful to the California PMC. Modern AIs are absolutely loath to describe white people or right wingers positively, for example, but the same prompts for other ethnicities work just fine. Even if you tell the AI that it's being discriminatory, there's powerful railroading to goad it back to giving woke answers.
Isn't this one of the best investments for both backers and founders?

It would be nice to have a public record of time before repairs, the fees and manufacturer estimates before buying.

This might apply to (most) IT devices. But there are devices that require 24 V, or 48 V, or any other voltage that USB-C can't supply, and that for various reasons (space, EMI, possibly even compliance with some safety regulation) can't contain an integrated power supply unit from 120/230 V mains. Of course this should be an exception and most consumer devices can definitely work with the regular voltages and currents that USB-C can supply.

I would like to point out that the author of this article has practically based her entire life on being anti-nuclear... I'm not saying the article is worthless, but I don't know how interesting it can be to read the words of someone who starts from a conclusion and goes backwards to refute it and to bring arguments to her assumption.

Also, the article start in this way...

> In the past few years, investors, national governments, and the media have paid significant attention to small modular nuclear reactors as the solution to traditional nuclear energy’s cost and long build times and renewable’s space and aesthetic drawbacks, but behind the hype there is very little concrete technology to justify it.

This anti-research, anti-free-market, anti-technology rhetoric is terrible.... It's like those who 10 years thought artificial intelligence was useless.

Which technologies before being properly developed have been proven from the beginning to have no defects whatsoever? It is only through iteration and perseverance that something useful, cheap, etc. is created.

The "turning point" is something that happens through investment, research and competition. To pretend it doesn't exist by not investing in it because to some enlightened person it's a "useless" technology is a counter-sense.

> If a state actor has access to your LAN you're all kinds of fucked already.

Seems very likely that some IOT devices are connected to LANs and can be used for shenanigans which is why you shouldn't trust anything on your LAN and always require encryption/authentication. Having telnet available on a router is beyond stupid and outright malicious.
If only the users were better and didn't want to stream video, or talk on Facebook, or video call each other, I could run a brilliant service!
You may want to not send back the "unreachable port" ICMP messages that are the default behavior for ports on which there is nothing listening.

The traditional configuration for a server or router is to block in the firewall all the unused ports, which means that ICMP responses will not be sent back, with the exception of the range of ports that are normally used by the "traceroute" utility.

Unfortunately, there are also stupid people who block in the firewall even the traceroute ports, which makes more difficult the diagnosing of any network problem.

> Imitators can’t answer questions at a deeper level. Specific knowledge is earned, not learned, so imitators don’t fully understand the ideas they’re talking about. Their knowledge is shallow. As a result, when you ask about details, first principles, or nonstandard cases, they don’t have good answers.

I disagree. Successful imitators are highly skilled at misdirection and will be able to come up with good-sounding answers. Experts on the other hand might not have the best answers ready at hand. What the author is describing is simply an interview, and we all know interviewing is a skill on its own.

It seems that someone did come up with a formal definition to try to capture the concept [0], though I haven't looked into the details to see whether it really matches the colloquial use of the terms "pure" and "impure" functional programming. In short, the formal definition they came up with is that a language is pure if the result of a valid program is the same under any parameter passing strategy.

I should note that I agree that, in practice, Haskell is almost always pure and/or referentially transparent. I was just pointing out that technically the GP was correct that it's not perfectly 100% so.

I would put it a bit differently: A lot of great art has simply been applied craftsmanship. The idea that art has to make a statement or the like to be art, per se, is a fairly modern notion, and often helps excuse zero craftsmanship nonsense like a Finnish "artist" dumping a bunch of blood and shit into a washing machine and calling it art.
The opportunities are different, but the attitude of keeping your eyes open to opportunities and figuring out what works is still true.

> It's not an internal conflict if the USSR is already supporting one side, is it?

Yes, it's still an internal political conflict.

> Sorry, but "which I believe it did" holds no weight with me.

Suit yourself. I'm not trying to persuade you.

> When the elected leader is already violating the constitution, it's no longer a democracy, is it?

No, it's still a democracy. In America, the Right believes President Obama violated the Constitution and the Left believes Trump did the same, yet few on either side would claim America ceased to be a democracy.

> You're going to need a source for that.

It supported a coup in 1970: https://irp.fas.org/cia/product/chile/index.html#5

> Are you suggesting the USSR would support a democracy?

I'm not suggesting anything. I'm stating two facts. First, you don't know what the USSR would've done. Second, in both Guatemala and Chile the US did support dictatorships.

> Do they have a track record that demonstrates that? I haven't seen it.

Have you seen a track record of the US supporting democracy? Not in Iran, Guatemala, Chile, Haiti, Cuba, Indonesia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, you haven't.

Average disposable income in Ireland is a lot higher than in Spain (source: I moved to Spain from Ireland myself). So there must be more at play there than just purchasing power. If it was purely based on that it would be more like 70 euro compared to Spain's 40.

Could be saturation indeed, as Ireland is very sparse in rural areas. And so is Spain, outside the few urban centres.

It's difficult to imagine a person of good character, knowing the atrocities intelligence agencies regularly do (overthrow inconvenient foreign governments, spy on and blackmail civil rights and other groups trying to make a better society) joining such an agency. At best they simply don't care about being associated with such a agency. Otherwise they actually enjoy the idea. We knew since the 1960s the crap intelligence agencies do.

I feel I should point this out because it seems to be a point of confusion: "PDP" is not a single unified product line. The numbers do not indicate linear progress. There is no architectural relationship between a PDP-8, a PDP-10, and a PDP-11. "PDP" is just the TLA for "Programmed Data Processor", the term DEC used instead of "Computer" to avoid the business/political connotations that the word "computer" had at the time.
Thank you. Hmm, a big existential question and I haven't had any coffee yet. There is certainly anxiety in the uncertainty. (Was spending over ten years researching and writing this book––intermixed with other things--a good use of time?) But I think I'd be unhappy with something safe. It's an ongoing surprise to me that my career continues to work, but I do occasionally wonder if this is a wise course. My parallel counterfactual selves are doing really different things, but I think I like the real one more. (Though they probably feel the same way.)
The remote-by-default working style that started during the pandemic has been the single biggest change in my entire adult life (well, that and getting kids). Talking to people who don't have the remote option for legit reasons (like working with hardware that requires office presence), it seems that they don't really get how big of a difference it is. As you said, some sort of fragmenting has already happened.
To put it nicely: you're not the target audience. This is the astronomy equivalent of the $50000/yr bespoke mechanical engineering simulator. This is not an outreach tool (or a citizen science tool). You don't take this to a dark field with a telescope at night (it's not a skymap), this will be used on a big screen to plan observations, or at an observatory (where you'll have at least 3 screens running). These kind of applications are developed with deep and continuous input from their users, and there's nothing superfluous there.

Key passage from the executive summary:

> To date, HPAI A(H5N1) viruses currently circulating most commonly in birds and poultry, with spillover to mammals and humans, do not have the ability to efficiently bind to receptors that predominate in the human upper respiratory tract. This is a major reason why the current risk to the public from HPAI A(H5N1) viruses remains low. However, because of the potential for influenza viruses to rapidly evolve and the wide global prevalence of HPAI A(H5N1) viruses in wild birds and poultry outbreaks and following the identification and spread among dairy cattle in the United States, additional sporadic human infections are anticipated.
