Merely exercising state powers is not authoritarianism. There are other necessary aspects that must exist. If a popularly-elected government orders a curfew that is not necessarily authoritarianism.

The combination of the batteries in my phone and my laptop is clearly more capacious than the battery in the laptop alone.

Here's a don't: don't bring some BS document for the fired person to sign. They have no reason to do so and shouldn't feel pressured to execute something like a non-disparagement agreement, unless it comes with a big che

Oh yes, I'd quite forgotten about the base model radio. Almost surprised it has no tape deck.

The backlit display on the Tesla 3 is wayyyyy too bright for night driving, even at its lowest backlight intensity and in night mode. It is like they intentionally ignored all available human factors research. Tesla is not alone here. Many

Thanks. I am familiar with why you want location data in photos. I am not familiar with any justification for why this data cannot be acquired from my mobile.

At least in the US models of the Fit there's no difference in the interior trim levels. I think part of the confused nature of this discussion is that Honda never shipped the touch-only dashboard that this article is talking about in t

Why do I need my camera to have GPS? In what situation would I be equipped with a camera and not my phone, which certainly has a GPS? This seems like the same instinct that makes OEMs put mobile modems in laptops, as if I would ever have my

Reading the blog post (haven't read the paper yet) makes it sound like this technique might apply to fuzzing. If this thing seeks out and exploits novel states in a large state space, that's the kind of direction you want in your

Yes. Consider, for example, any reason why Las Vegas should continue to exist.

Yeah but it’s a press release. What I’m telling you is if you walk to this site today, they’re still working on it and far from being done.

We already do. It costs a lot but we've been paying it for more than fifty years.

Building houses in factories doesn't really solve a big problem. We're actually really, really good at building on-site. Just look at the experience of Factory_OS and their building that was "built in 10 days"[1]. While

Zoom is a wall-to-wall security disaster. When my company switched to it about a year ago one of my colleagues showed me how to force any Zoom room, anywhere on the planet, in any organization, to join our meeting. I just don't think i

They hardly sit. They just fly around for practice if there's nothing else to do. There would undoubtedly be more hours in the air if airlifting equipment from hither to yon, but I doubt there would be more takeoff and land cycles.

I'm sure it's amazing but you only get to count the marginal cost of actually moving the material because we already pay all the other costs of the AMC regardless of whether they do any useful service or not.

Imagine if there was a country with an "Air Mobility Command" having 50000 airmen and fifty gigantic aircraft (among hundreds of smaller aircraft), each of which can carry 40 pallets. Wouldn't that seem useful at this moment?

Sure, that's why I put that last remark. But you might already know before hitting this block that the message is perfectly formed.

Example: hoisting the condition `if buf[i] < 0x80 ...` out of DecodeVarint into DecodeTagAndWireType speeds up the included microbenchmark by over 10% on my machine, just because it eliminates the function call for tags 1-15 (these are t

You can beat the pants off this, even though it beats the standard proto library. Most of the time here is being spent calling out-of-line functions through Go's stack calling convention because the Go compiler hates inlining. For exam

The idea that a bunch of GA misfits flying their mosquitos will be helpful in case of a major city being cut off by land is something only the AOPA could come up with. In that event they'll be landing C-5's and 744's full of

Jerry Brown passed the California "rainy day fund" in November 2014 on the same ballot on which he was re-elected. Literally re-elected on a budget surplus platform.

The CAHSR could not have saved any money in 2010 because it wasn't funded until 2012.

I guess if you get your California economic outlook from Grover Norquist's spokesman, you might get an incomplete picture. May I recommend a second source, such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics or other reputable agency?

I don't get it. What disaster preparedness role does RHV play that the much larger and extremely nearby SJC cannot play?

That was sort of my point, that an OEM can't really do minimal.
