Reminds me of a study that found that cows that were given names had better health and produced more milk. Won some kind of "stupid research" award but actually it was a quite insightful bit of research on farm animal welfare which looked at a huge number of factors, including if the farmer named their cows.
As can be seen from the summary (I know no-one reads those so I'll forgive you) this was actually a study into how ancient foraging behaviour in humans relates to the way people buy take-away food online. From TFS:
The pattern revealed clear evening double-peaks, occurring every day at 19.00 and 02.00. The patterns were consistent across search terms, days of the week and geographical locations, suggesting a common ISB rhythm that is not necessarily culture-dependent.
The Dems aren't being Shadow banned because, well, they don't have to use tricks to talk about their message
They don't? Oh boy did you miss 8 years of Obama or something.
This is such a bizarre non-sequitur I just wanted to highlight it as a perfect example of the bizarre world Mashiki lives in. I don't know how logic works there, it seems like saying "Obama" or "her emails" is some kind of rational argument in that universe.
I'm kinda surprised that Milania hasn't divorced him yet. Maybe he paid her off too.
She doesn't seem to enjoy being FLOTUS and could easily get a big fat settlement out of Trump now there is incontrovertible evidence of his infidelity.
I suspect the problem is that prominent racists try to avoid saying things that are obviously racist, so there's a lot of subtext and "draw the obvious conclusion" posts that are so hard for an algorithm to reliably flag as racist that you might as well not bother.
Bingo. Their goal is to draw more people into their political ideology, but they realize that being openly racist turns a lot of people off so they moderate their language and use dog whistles. By design, they are supposed to appeal to conservatives and lure them into repeating the dog whistle language and using the hashtags.
When that happens the system identifies the link and starts to demote conservative accounts.
Twitter is trying to fix the algorithm, but it would be nice if conservatives were a little bit more careful with their language and did a little more digging into where some of these hashtags are coming from.
Around 2006 was when Apple was applying 5x too much thermal paste to CPUs. You could dramatically improve cooling performance by replacing it with the correct amount.
As I recall those were also the first generation of the plastic, glued together hinge clips where the glue would be heated by the exhaust heat and eventually fail.
Sounds like Apple didn't read the docs properly... Based on the time frame for developing the laptop and the timeframe for the i9, they probably did most of the work using older CPUs and then swapped out near the end without remembering to check for the increased turbo mode heat dissipation.
Does that sound like some fellow who has spent over 30 years dealing with third wavers?
Well, yeah, it does... Your arguments seem to focus on them as a group rather than on specific arguments that are considered part of the third wave movement.
Look at it from my point of view, as someone trying to debate with you. You say "third wave feminists did/think/said X". Okay, what am I supposed to do with that? I can only defend my own position or discuss the ideas of third wave feminism in general. I can't defend or even really speculate about the motives of individuals I don't know and have not met, and with respect about whom I only have your side of the story.
If you want to discuss something like intersectionality or transmisogyny then that's fine, or if you want to identify a specific organization that has some published material (web site, manifesto etc.) so I can at least evaluate them myself then please do. But general complaints about "third wave feminists have been calling me a racist/sexist for 30 years" isn't really an argument... It's a complaint at best.
When the slightest disagreement gets you declared as a misogynist and you know you are playing havoc with your career, you tend to practice avoidance rather than debate.
So are you retired, or is Ol Olsoc a pseudonym, or do third wave feminists just not read Slashdot?
In Japan they eat battered, fried fish with the tail intact. Shrimp as well. It's called tempura.
I didn't realize how conditioned I was to only eating meat that doesn't look like the thing that it came from. I can now just about manage tempura, but not whole shrimp. Anything with a face... Ugh, no.
Makes no sense, it's just one of those ingrained norms I can't get past.
Tesla's biggest issue now is that the Model 3 is rather expensive for what it is. They have brand recognition and the car itself is pretty good, but the $35k model isn't available and looks overpriced now anyway.
Other manufacturers like Hyundai, Kia and Nissan are all releasing cars in the $35k price bracket that are better spec. The Hyundai Kona, for example, top spec is in that price range and comes with autopilot as standard, as well as a much larger battery (67kWh vs 50kWh in the Model 3 Short Range version) and matching longer range. Oh, and a better warranty.
For now Tesla has plenty of orders, but unless they can cost reduce the Model 3 a fair bit they might be stuck in that high price sector of the market. They need to improve in that sector too because other manufacturers are releasing their EVs into it, complete with $100k car build quality and luxury that the Model S and X don't have.
On the laptop side it's not just travel that matters, it's key cap shape. Curved key caps like on the Thinkpad help centre your fingers, where as the flat ones that seem to be popular these days don't and slow you down.
On the mechanical keyboard side, there are many different types of mechanical keyboard. Many different types of switch that are considered "mechanical", which is actually defined more as "non rubber dome" although some rubber dome switches feel "mechanical".
You have linear and non-linear. Linear give the same resistance all the way down and up, non-linear have a kind of step that gives you a really positive feeling when you type. Beyond that there is the trigger point, which is how far you have to press the key down to register a keypress, and it's often unrelated to the step point of a non-linear switch.
There is also the way the switch handles bottoming out, where you push the key right the way down. Some have more resistance to stop your fingers hitting that hard stop, some don't.
Then you have different weights, meaning the amount of resistance to being pushed. Most keyboards are uniform weight, but Realforce boards have less resistance on some keys than others which is supposed to be more ergonomic. On top of that the way that the switch is mounted matters. PCB mount tends to flex slightly more than mounting on a metal frame, for example.
Naturally the sound that the key makes is pretty important for a lot of people too, and there are various ways of making them silent or clickly. As well as the switch the construction of the keyboard makes a big difference, with cheap and light weight plastic ones sounding worse than heavy metal ones to most people.
The owner of Group Policy on a machine has (by definition) the authority to set HTTPs policies, read files, spy on the screen and plant furry porn in your home directory. That's literally what it means to be in group policy.
Literally what it means is that you only have to compromise one account to get 0wnership of the entire corporate network and everything on it.
While you completely accept as non-racist and non sexist when somoene on your side talks about a particular sex and particular race being sexist and racist
No, I absolutely reject that. That's my point, I would never say anything like that, and I don't know why you think I would.
I'm being serious, when you say "you make some prejudicial statements about me" I have no idea to what you are referring. You quoted some text... But it's just me talking about trying to avoid things that screw up debate.
Where did you get all that from? The articles you linked to only say
While there were many theories as to what was causing the throttling, Apple has discovered that there was a missing digital key in the firmware that impacted the thermal management system, driving down clock speeds under heavy thermal loads. This is what has been addressed in today's update.
No idea what a "digital key" is in this context. Maybe they mean an entry in the thermal management lookup table, like a key/value pair or something.
Can't be. The 2018 model has a 58Wh battery, so to get the claimed 10 hours of battery life it needs to average 5.8W. That includes the screen, WiFi radio, and all the other components like DRAM and chipset.
I'll make it easy for you though, let's say the rest of the laptop is powered by magic. Show me an Intel CPU that runs at "full performance" on only 5.8W.
At least now when the police try to imply that using a VPN is evidence of criminal activity you can point out that it's self defence against the criminals they failed to stop.
True, it's still only 1 of 2 factors. I want one with HID keyboard mode too, so I can use it to enter a really long password (with my own password prefixed of course) for stuff that doesn't support proper 2FA.
Saying that many third wave feminists are racist and sexist has plenty of evidence to show that to be the truth. I've done enough research to see that.
Yeah, see that's problematic. You may think it's true, it may even be true, but all it does it poison the well. It makes debate difficult when you start by attacking some unspecified proportion of a poorly defined group who are not around to defend themselves, and it's a logical fallacy when you use it to support your own arguments.
Worse, after all the complaining about "SJWs" calling everyone racist and sexist... Well, you are pretty loose with those terms too.
Someone tries to take your key away. You fear it may be confiscated. You need to pass through some security without having the opportunity to erase it first.
I've been thinking about building something like this for a while. All it would need is a small battery to give it enough energy to do the secure erase when a button is held for several seconds.
Slashdot Mirror
Emperor for life, control of the media, every utterance considered infallible... Trump must admire Xi bigly.
he pushed back against terrorism by defeating ISIS
What did Trump do to defeat ISIS?
You were the one praising communism and wanting to impose it on other people.
So... You think I voted for communists? I think there is still a British communist party but they didn't stand in my area.
Specifically who do you think are communists in British politics?

I'm sure this all makes sense in your head. One thing I'd like to pick up on though...
after electing people in the UK which have decimated the country

Your post is misdirection. Twitter is no Facebook, they are separate companies with very different policies on content.

They will pay, just like they used to pay before Facebook existed.
Facebook's bigger problem is that their user base is getting older, with all the lucrative 18-36 year olds moving to other platforms.
