My experience is that discrimination in hiring is never openly advocated for obvious reasons. Instead you get what could be called "stochastic discrimination" where there is pressure to "increase diversity" without elaboration on how that should be achieved in the face of a not so diverse pool of qualified candidates.
Watermarking was a problem when Widevine L1 was first introduced. Pirates seem to have found a way to scrub the watermark from their releases. Either that or someone is burning a _lot_ of cash on playback hardware judging from the rate of 4K WEB-DL releases.
I've never quite understood this idea that Cloudflare is an MITM. An MITM is by definition a covert intermediary. Cloudflare is a service provider that's deliberately employed by a site operator. If CF is a MITM then so is AWS, GCP, and every other CDN service provider.
Great, now you've messed up all the other math that uses the modulo operator. The mathematical operators behave the way they do for well established reasons that long predate the invention of computers. It's going to be a tough sell to get everyone to adopt a wholesale refactoring of modulo arithmetic (and likely number theory in general) just for the "convenience" of one based indexing.
In fact the vast majority of algorithms which involve doing computation on indexes beyond increment/decrement are naturally implemented with zero-based indexing. When using ones based indexing you end up having to convert to zero based, do the computation, then convert back to one based.
Another common example of this is circular buffers. Computing the bounded index from an arbitrary index is simply i % c with zero based indexing, but becomes (i-1) % c + 1 with one based indexing.
I'd be willing to overlook a lot for a new Android phone with dimensions similar to the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact. The market for small Android phones is extremely thin right now. There are only two phones which can run Android 13 and are less than 145 mm tall, and they're both less than a year away from EoL (Pixel 4a and Pixel 5).
Eh, not really. Most "battery breakthrough!" press releases are about some new exotic chemistry while most mass produced battery improvements in the last 20 years have come from incremental improvements to existing chemistries and better packaging.
As someone with a chronic condition who has had to make many appointments with specialists over the years, 6-12 months is a gross exaggeration. IME the typical wait time to be seen by a specialist in the US is between 2 and 3 months. The worst I've seen is 4 months.
It still doesn't make sense. This whole ordeal has taken place over about 6 months. If anything, forcing me down the surgery route has pulled their costs forward in time, not pushed them back.
I also have Crohn's and am going through this right now. Months of delays and denials for a new drug lead to two hospitalizations. I'm currently on TPN (IV nutrition) while I taper my Prednisone dose as low as possible prior to surgery.
The funny/sad thing is: between my hospitalizations, TPN and related home health care, and surgery, this is all going to cost my insurance far more than the drug they were denying would have. One would hope this provides them with motivation to better judge the necessity of treatments, but I'm not holding my breath.
Qualcomm's Atheros descended chips are generally the best bet for Linux support, especially for use in an AP. In other words you want a chip supported by the ath10k or ath11k driver depending on which generation of wifi you want. 10k = 802.11ac, 11k = 802.11ax.
My understanding is that most people opt to waive their right to a speedy trial after consulting with a lawyer. The reason is invoking the right guarantees the prosecutor will go hard in the paint pressing the maximum possible charges and generally making the defendant's life as unpleasant as possible.
Mercedes' reputation for reliability is mostly a legacy of the 60s and 70s. Their cars from that era were absurdly overbuilt, especially the diesel powered models. You will still find diesel MBs from the 70s on the road today, some of them having racked up 500k miles or more.
In the US "pasture raised" is the key phrase to look for. That means what most people think when they read "free range". Neither "cage free" nor "free range" means much in the US.
RPGs were more expensive than other games due to a combination of high development cost, high cartridge cost (RPGs took a lot of ROM storage), and relatively small market (action games were more popular).
It seems to me the complexity argument works in favor of cap-and-trade. While the global climate and global economy are both staggeringly complex systems, we can predict the former significantly more accurately than the latter. Thus it would be simpler to set the allowable emissions by policy and let the market work out the economic side.
I think the biggest concern people have with cheap supplements is not so much efficacy as contamination with heavy metals and other nastiness. Especially with the vast majority of the raw ingredients being sourced from China. People are counting on the domestic distributer's testing to catch quality control issues before the product reaches consumers.
I suffered from chronic diarrhea for years which I attributed to Crohn's disease. This seemed obvious since diarrhea is a very common symptom of Crohn's, but its onset had been several years after I was diagnosed and prior to that I had tended more towards the opposite problem (constipation). I was thus always suspicious that the root cause lay elsewhere. After much experimenting I found that if I ran my dishwasher through an extra rinse cycle the diarrhea went away.
I tried many different detergents but never found one which didn't cause problems, so I've just continued to run an extra cycle. My GI doctor didn't really believe me when I told him. I wonder how many people are having their IBS/IBD symptoms exasperated by detergent residue left on their dishes.
The problem is markets are unpredictable and non-linear. It's not as simple as "we can rack up debt until it starts to become a problem then ease off". Events can (and historically often have) conspire to cause a country's debt situation to change from seemingly fine to disastrous on a radically shorter timeframe than one would expect assuming a linear response to increasing debt.
Football players lift weights because it is known to be one of the more effective ways to build muscle strength. Do we have evidence to support the claim that learning calculus is particularly effective at improving general cognitive ability?
The problem is the CPU itself isn't the one measuring voltage, it gets that information from the motherboard's VRM controller. The accuracy of the reported value can vary depending on the controller, how it's configured by the motherboard's firmware, and the physical circuit design.
That being said, with new motherboards generally using fully digital VRM controllers the reported value should be pretty close in most cases.
That page hasn't aged all that well. The prediction that applications would need to switch to a new hash function "every few years" hasn't panned out. The feared improved attacks on SHA-2 have failed to materialize. Applications that chose SHA-2 20 years ago are still quite secure today.
It seems we just weren't very good at designing hash functions in the 90s.
