My experience is that discrimination in hiring is never openly advocated for obvious reasons. Instead you get what could be called "stochastic discrimination" where there is pressure to "increase diversity" without…
Watermarking was a problem when Widevine L1 was first introduced. Pirates seem to have found a way to scrub the watermark from their releases. Either that or someone is burning a _lot_ of cash on playback hardware…
The WASM Component Model https://github.com/WebAssembly/component-model
Source? I've seen a variety of claims about the revshare split on youtube, but I've never seen any official source of those numbers.
I've never quite understood this idea that Cloudflare is an MITM. An MITM is by definition a covert intermediary. Cloudflare is a service provider that's deliberately employed by a site operator. If CF is a MITM then so…
Great, now you've messed up all the other math that uses the modulo operator. The mathematical operators behave the way they do for well established reasons that long predate the invention of computers. It's going to be…
In fact the vast majority of algorithms which involve doing computation on indexes beyond increment/decrement are naturally implemented with zero-based indexing. When using ones based indexing you end up having to…
I'd be willing to overlook a lot for a new Android phone with dimensions similar to the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact. The market for small Android phones is extremely thin right now. There are only two phones which can run…
It's also not a turboprop if it's using a ducted fan. Chuck keeps using that word, I do not think it means what he thinks it means.
Eh, not really. Most "battery breakthrough!" press releases are about some new exotic chemistry while most mass produced battery improvements in the last 20 years have come from incremental improvements to existing…
As someone with a chronic condition who has had to make many appointments with specialists over the years, 6-12 months is a gross exaggeration. IME the typical wait time to be seen by a specialist in the US is between 2…
Drug prohibition in the US was motivated more by hate for black/brown people than sky daddies.
It still doesn't make sense. This whole ordeal has taken place over about 6 months. If anything, forcing me down the surgery route has pulled their costs forward in time, not pushed them back.
I also have Crohn's and am going through this right now. Months of delays and denials for a new drug lead to two hospitalizations. I'm currently on TPN (IV nutrition) while I taper my Prednisone dose as low as possible…
I honestly can't tell if you're serious.
Qualcomm's Atheros descended chips are generally the best bet for Linux support, especially for use in an AP. In other words you want a chip supported by the ath10k or ath11k driver depending on which generation of wifi…
My understanding is that most people opt to waive their right to a speedy trial after consulting with a lawyer. The reason is invoking the right guarantees the prosecutor will go hard in the paint pressing the maximum…
If Intel wanted to use power/thermal limits for market segmentation they'd be locked down like the turbo frequency tables on non-K CPUs.
Mercedes' reputation for reliability is mostly a legacy of the 60s and 70s. Their cars from that era were absurdly overbuilt, especially the diesel powered models. You will still find diesel MBs from the 70s on the road…
In the US "pasture raised" is the key phrase to look for. That means what most people think when they read "free range". Neither "cage free" nor "free range" means much in the US.
RPGs were more expensive than other games due to a combination of high development cost, high cartridge cost (RPGs took a lot of ROM storage), and relatively small market (action games were more popular).
I always assumed the Sidewinder missile was named based on the snake's ability to sense prey by thermal radiation.
It seems to me the complexity argument works in favor of cap-and-trade. While the global climate and global economy are both staggeringly complex systems, we can predict the former significantly more accurately than the…
I think the biggest concern people have with cheap supplements is not so much efficacy as contamination with heavy metals and other nastiness. Especially with the vast majority of the raw ingredients being sourced from…
I suffered from chronic diarrhea for years which I attributed to Crohn's disease. This seemed obvious since diarrhea is a very common symptom of Crohn's, but its onset had been several years after I was diagnosed and…
