Personally, I enable battery saving mode: it prevent any app from using data in the background, so whatsapp won't synchronize with its servers at all unless the app is open.

The drawback is that this behavior can not be enabled on a per-app basis: either all app synchronize, or none. So I don't have new emails either unless explicitly enabled, or any other similar app. The only thing that still works and notify without requiring the app to be open are text messages and phone calls.

I consider that to be a feature, but other might not.

It is by design, not having these mechanism is one of the goals of free software: free for everyone, no exceptions.

See JSON.org License which says it "shall be used for Good, not Evil" and is not considered free software.

I found it amazing that they could not find more than 53 persons to like the video. Don't she know more than 100 persons/friends who could be happy for her to win that award ?

They are following their peers when they disperse, or ask around why everyone is dispersing.

But AMD compete with intel, and consumers might look at nm size when comparing mainstream processors to buy, because at one point it was a good indication of how recent the processor was, and thus how fast / power efficient / ...

Not that I'm not talking about educated consumers, which will look at other variables, but rather the consumers who will buy a computer and want the cutting edge, without knowing too much details.

I don't live in the US, so I'm not familiar with the law there, but I don't understand why a peacefull gathering would be illegal ? Are large gathering illegal somehow ?

pro tip: don't get hacked in the first place, it will avoid trouble down the line ! /s

basically no two systems are the same, and if the website can gather enough information about your system, it can identify you, even through a VPN or in incognito mode. Popular information for fingerprinting include: your browser, the country you are in, your language(s), your graphic card (through webgl), the fonts installed on your computer, the size of your screen (or your browser window), ...

no, what made people switch was that chrome is the default browser on android

The size of the wheel matters.

I have both a bike and an electric scooter, and any small bump, twig, or slightly deteriorated road can be felt much more to the point that I specifically avoid a part of my way to work to avoid a deteriorated road. With my bike before having my electric scooter, I didn't even notice the road was bad.

I simply can not drive on stone paved streets more than 5min, its really insufferable. And my electric scooter have shock absorber on the front but not the back. My next one will have shock absorber on both wheels, it's non-negotiable.

Also: why Mobilecoin, which is as far from "an alternative payments infrastructure" as most other cash-grab cryptocurrency ?

It isn't known how much of it was premined, and from an early version of their whitepaper, the founders might have as much as 80% of the total supply of the coin. This isn't fine for a cryptocurrency which aims to be "an alternative payments infrastructure", and it isn't fine for Signal to try to promote them as such.

It is not about how often you update your project.

To be open source, you need to publish the source of applications you run. It's as simple as that: "we developed this app, and it's running on our servers, and the source can be found here".

They kept updating their server app for a year, without publishing their source. This is not open source. Signal server code was not open source for a year.

You probably are not the target audience, and neither are the readers of the newyorker.

They are eaten mostly by student, because its cheap, full of calories, and goes well with an evening at a bar drinking beers with other students.

At least that's what they are in Grenoble, which is a melting pot and has a very high number of students: I think there is about 70,000 students in the city (not including high school or below) for around 400,000 inhabitants. So any bar/pub where the beer is cheap is always full.

also:

"run smoothly on air: our pneumatic tires are shock-absorbing things that make for a less bumpy ride" No proper shock absorber is a deal-breaker. Especially in Europe with stone paved streets.

"Setting new standards for user experience with customized end-user App" What a nice way to spell "vendor lock-in"

needs a (2020) in the title

Note that "several hundred ballots had been contested, largely by Amazon, and those ballots were set aside to be adjudicated and counted only if they were vital to determining an outcome". So several hundred ballots contested by Amazon, and the cynic in my assume that those were therefore probably all in favor of unionizing. This can change the 1100-to-463 balance significantly.

As a complement of your comment: For more information, see Unique Factorization Domains (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_factorization_domain) for the generalization of how prime factorization work on things other than integers.

You can do the opposite of pump and dump: there is an investment you want to buy, talk it down, buy it low.

A lot of open source project owned by large corporations do.

More independent projects sometimes does it to, for example curl.

As stated in your comment, eliptic curve cryptography relies on discrete logarithm but this algorithm is a method for factoring integers, with ideas similar to the Quadratic Sieve algorithm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_sieve).

It does not extend to breaking eliptic-curve cryptography, for the same reason that the Quadratic Sieve does not extend to eliptic-curve crypto: the underling math problem is different (factorisation vs discrete logarithm).

If it's already sorted in the right order, quicksort runs in O(n log n). quicksort is O(n log n) bestcase, O(n*n) worstcase.

It doesn't start from 0: there was some pattern matching before:

(a, b, c, d) = range(4)

It may be a unpopular opinion, but I think the issue with free-market capitalism is that it is a almost-perfect optimization engine which converge to the cheapest solution that is still barely acceptable.

That why it is harder and harder to find good quality product, and that's why low-occurrence incidents are less and less provisioned for.

To me, Factorio looks more like dataflow programming (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dataflow_programming) much more than functional programming, but I guess people see much more similitude with what they are used to.

It does exist in various forms. One I'm familiar with is Kalray MPPA (massively parallel processor array): https://www.kalrayinc.com/technology/ Their current generation of processors have 80 cores exposed to the userspace (the previous one had 256), and they are mainly used as PCIe acceleration boards for all kinds of applications.

But as another poster said, the difficulty with those kinds of architecture is the memory hierarchy: you don't want all the cores to access the DDR directly, as that would be a massive bottleneck. And this becomes a larger issue as you increase the number of cores.

Doesn't the Node.js version use double precision floating point vs python using infinite precision integers ? That would explain part of the difference in performance, and make the python version exact, but js version inexact.

Elon found that he can manipulate bitcoin price quite freely, without any regulations issues. He can use that do make a lot of wealth, and its probably not illegal (not a lawyer tho, so I'm not sure). And Tesla has more cash than him personally, so it makes more sense if its Tesla doing the move.
