I would assume that many/most countries in climates where power interruptions quickly turn into deaths to avoid building in a dependence on an extra-territorial grid for base-level power supply. It's already a problem in Eurasia w

If it is Prometheus' fire, we are not ready to handle that fire yet. When one of the core concerns of using a technology is to prevent it being used to create weapons capable of obliterating entire cities, we are not as a species matur

My life kind of started anew. Not in a "wow this is fantastic", rather the opposite. Old sorrows surfaces, forgotten experiences had to be dealt with, but I was finally able to start moving forward and deal with the reality outsid

This is a good point! Stimulants are not always necessary long term, but they usually are to start effecting enough change to be able to function in the present society. For some (me probably) it'll be a lifelong thing, but it definite

A typical characteristic of people with ADHD is that typical doses of - say Ritalin - creates no euphoric effect at all. Every adult I met that is "on" stimulants has echoed the sentiment that they don't understand why on ear

My story is the same, blown off by doctors for years because, I don't know, but not being "too successful" was definitely part of it. Lead to a burnout-like state that started developing while basically being a stay-at-home d

In Sweden at least it is classified as a disability, because whether or not it's a evolutionary adaptation, people that present typical ADHD traits are functionally disabled in modern society. Society should change to accommodate these

Also don't forget that drugs have changed the life to the better for so many on the ADHD spectrum. Though drugs are only part of the solution for most people with ADHD, it's almost always what enables other kinds of intervention t

It's probably doing some equivalent of solving a hard inverse problem approximately using numeric method, likely with as lest as many unknowns per pixel as the image, in a noisy domain, and with an expensive cost function for the optim

While the wording isn't particularly clear, the later remarks contrasting full-width with full-screen makes it clear that full-width in this instance does not refer to the full-width of the screen, but only that the "widest"

Compared to a children's book it is both, but compared to a lot of other TV-series with similar audiences, not at all. As the context is a bit unclear, I don't thing there's a straight cut answer here, but perhaps it's n

Single photon detectors have existed for a long timet - though not anywhere near those speeds afaik - hence the one bit part is not particularly strange, not as long as we're talking wavelengths close to visible light. The speed and ul

It's almost certain several people did, but either didn't get a response, or - infinitely more likely - that the seed used for the icon was simply never recorded. Found the timeline. Yes several people asked, and no, Mojang did no

Everything I have seen from Autodesk, this was what I expected from day one I learned of Fusion 360. I hoped I would be wrong, but no.

According to the tagged union Wikipedia you referenced, a disjoint union is also considered a tagged union. Whether or not that's actually a correct description within the vernacular of computer science, I don't know. "In com

Apple decided that /anaconda was an illegal place to store files during an update, so not only did I have a mysterious upgrade who took a very long time (hours) even on SSD, I also lost half a day when I needed to run some calculatio

Hmm, I might have used that, or at least something very similar. Don't know exactly why, but then, it was a while ago...

It's true that Jetbrains has lots of developers in Russia, but Jetbrains s.r.o is Czech and was founded in Prague under the name Intellij Software.

San Fransisco has one of the highest, and in some cases - highest - housing and rental prices in the US. If taxes are as high as you claim, it would be more rational to argue that the high prices are indirectly caused by that tax, rather th

Apple's smartphone market share in US is almost 50% according to the numbers I see, how is that small?

Apple is a government supported legal monopoly due to patents, licences and copyrights, so are many others, but they are too. If Apple wasn't both the largest US phone maker and a legal monopoly, their behavior would not be as problema

Copyright on macOS, and patents makes Apple phones the products of a company with a legal monopoly. Are they an illegal monopoly in the US? Well, that's trickier. There are several reasons for and against. There are lots of phone brand

Apple can be said to be a monopoly according to at least some definitions of monopoly, more precisely, and at the very least - it has a legal monopoly on selling macOS due to copyright. Since they have a legal monopoly in some sense, it&#x2

Seems there is a fair bit of non-flying insects in the data, and seems also to be only few sites, so might be hard to compare with European data? European decline is afaik mostly related to flying insects. Short on time, but it would be int

Hard to tell anyone's intentions, but that's probably, at least partially, a side effect. Apple seem to use security primarily for two things, marketing, and to ensure they have control over the platform, and the developers who wr

You aren't wrong, but it's fairly easy to make a plausible argument for national security. You can argue nation security when it comes to any app that isn't doing end-to-end, especially if it's written in a way that coul

The best latencies observing "causal fairness" you can achieve is to simulate/emulate the information propagation properties of light, rescaled so that "light speed" is related to whatever time it takes to traverse

You can obviously do something to the same effect without this kind of modulation, and it has been done. It might not be impossible that something like this could make it easier, but iirc correctly, the primary problems were more related th

The most perplexing: How is it possible to come to believe water is bad for athletic performance, especially long distance running? Not only water, but seemingly distrusting any tangible amount of any liquid?

I generally agree, except if I don't. Whether or not that is the case, I'm entirely uncertain about! Generalizing to transportation one might ask: What is the better transportation device, a boat or a horse? ... of which one can s
