Are there going to be legal consequences for this? I would expect this to carry the heaviest penalties possible including massive penalties against China if they fail to enforce them, but I guess nothing is going to happen given the current

Maybe it could be a percentage of all taxable income, kind of like giving out equity in the student themselves as a person? Although of course there is no reason for college in general to be particularly expensive.

Redis can dump and fsync data to disk WAL every query, and can run multiple commands in a transaction, so it can provide the highest guarantees possible for a database. The catch is that the data must fit in RAM, you can only use 1 core for

A function like this should not be something that anyone even thinks of writing or using. In properly designed languages, values have either a known concrete type, or the interfaces that they have to support are listed, and the compiler c

Honestly, it's hard to read this article and not question the author's mental state or intelligence. He literally presents x86 and ARM assembly dumps where shift right generates one instruction, and divide generates that same inst

Amazon ships in 1-2 days, while at least from Europe Alibaba/AliExpress seem to be in the 14-60 days timeframe, and I imagine returns would be more hassle.

You may be able to either: - Use Nouveau instead of the proprietary driver - Use a nested X/wayland server, which should then presumably support fractional scaling - Use non-fractional scaling and adjust font sizes

How are these actually distributed and what do they actually consist of? Is it binary-only software or is the source code available anywhere, and if so where? Can you install it yourself or do you have to give Google systems or employees ro

What matters is that the server or software provided and anyone not in the group can't obtain plaintext even if they can intercept and modify all traffic on the Internet. Obviously you need to rotate the session keys when someone leave

Aren't these robots so expensive only because they are sold in low volumes? It seems to me that if mass produced, they should at lesat cost less than entry-level cars, since they are a similar size/weight and simpler, so less than

This is laughably useless. It's extremely unlikely they have patched all existing ways for root to change the kernel, and anyway since the kernel is written in C it almost surely has plenty of memory safety exploits. Also requiring an

Not sure about that: unanimity means that anyone can hold hostage the whole process and make arbitrary demands in exchange for their vote, so it really only works when everyone can be trusted to act in good faith or when it doesn't mat

Yes, but this is solvable by limiting the number of children per person.

They should only accept infection reports that are signed with a trust chain terminating with an Apple/Google internal CA, and sign keys provided by governments with their root CA. Alternatively, the system could be configured to conne

The fact that UBI should not be about giving an amount of money, but rather about giving essentials like housing and food or the equivalent in money, and "doubling" essentials doesn't make as much sense, since you don't

But no data is shared with the government, so there isn't any data that gets shared with "other governments". All that is shared is a randomly generated key that can only be used by other smartphones to determine if any of th

I don't quite understand why Apple and Google are releasing an API instead of a single system application. This is going to create a gigantic mess as governments with limited software development competence slowly release incompatible

As far as I can tell you need two GPUs and all this does is efficiently copy the second GPU (assigned to a VM) output to a window on the main GPU (assigned to the host). This seems mostly useful for laptops with both integrated and discrete

Ultimately you can just compare the total deaths to the averages from previous years, which works regardless of how they are counted (as long as the deaths are recorded at all, which I think is something that can generally be relied upon).

All software that you install on the main desktop operating systems is given the "keys to their computer kingdom": there is no privilege separation or sandboxing, except for the "user vs root" division, which can be triv

So with 69 deaths so far and 9 deaths last week in Santa Clara County, projecting that to an extra 4 weeks to 105 deaths for those infected in early April, that means a 0.16% death rate?

Not vaccinating does potentially cause harm to others through infection, and someone unvaccinated can only fully prevent such harm by completely avoiding any contact with humans they are not living with; furthermore, such harm cannot be rel

I don't mean testing against the production instance, but rather against an instance configured like the production instance, except for being scaled/sized appropriately for the testing data and workload instead of the production

You should never mock anything. Test against the same dependencies that exist in production. If that's impossible (i.e. you get charged for the backends or you are controlling physical objects), then generalize the program to support a

I don't get the claim about lack of training data. Most TV stations broadcast with closed captioning and most movies have subtitles available, which should give millions of hours of training data. It's technically copyrighted, but

They control and can change the Windows NT kernel, so anything is doable.

Wow, so it turns out that most of the products that were advertised were not so necessary after all?

Sorry, I meant "leaking employee of GitHub", not "leaking employee of your organization".

Probably not very smart to use this feature, since your so-called "private" repository is an exploit or a leaking employee away from becoming public. Instead, use a self-hosted Gitlab instance or similar, preferably with an extern
