That looks like an amendment to the Bill and not the original Bill. It looks like the original Bill is here: https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2021/7072/BillText/er/... And the wording is o

Conceptually, they are similar, but based on what I understand the implications are very different based on how data is collected and who it is available to. Apple ad targeting: - collected from device info, purchases made from Apple (apps,

Hm, I was not being particularly precise with my language because I was trying to make my explanation easily digestible, but please correct me if I'm wrong. The null hypothesis is that there are no new particles or physics and the Stan

Just to expand a bit, the sigma symbol is a standard symbol used to indicate the standard deviation of a measurement, and standard deviation is roughly a measure of how much variation there is within a data set (and consequently how confide

From what I understand the Magnet is extremely specialized and it would cost millions more to manufacture a second one rather than ship the existing one. As to why Fermilab, scientists had exhausted the capabilities of the particle accelera

I for one prefer having one-key access to the PgUp/PgDn keys to be able to Ctrl + PgUp/PgDn to move between browser tabs, but at least from the article, it looks pretty clearly like the PgUp and PgDn keys are not squished above th

Just quickly tried running the command on T-mobile hotspot and also couldn't connect. I didn't try debugging much, so it could've been another issue, but just adding myself as a data point.

Apparently as of 2 years ago, 1 stick of 128GB RAM from Crucial could cost $4,000[1] if purchased on its own, so at 12 sticks of 128GB RAM maybe this is a relative bargain compared to building it yourself? Of course at the lower end, it&#x2

The study covered the time period 2005-2017, which coincides with the rapid growth of tech in the Bay Area (particularly SF) so it makes more sense in that context.

I understand why this rubs some people the wrong way, but it really is consistent with Go's vision since the start. I don't think Russ is trying to imply that the issues they are facing when designing the language (dependency mana

They calculated the 1.5 years assuming a homogenous Earth (equal density throughout), so this is not true. The 2.5 years is calculated using a more realistic density distribution for the Earth.

I know your title is from the title of the article, but it's pretty misleading. Just to clear things up, it seems like the bug grants the "Full Access" permission to 3rd party keyboards which allows them to make network reque

This makes sense. Thanks for explaining. I don't really know the ads ecosystem that well, so those were just my inferences from the blog post. I'm sure that was the intention of the post :-)

Well, to be fair, it seemed to me from the release announcement that they were blocking ads on webpages where the publisher set their pages up for a frustrating experience (pop-up display ads, auto play video ads), irrelevant of which ad

I believe it's the other way around. If you inserted an item, then 'lookup(element)' is always true. However, you can get false positives, meaning that you might also get true for items that have not been inserted. The probab
