What is a goid benchmark today for supercomputers? TFLOPS don’t seem to be a good measure, because it’s relatively easy to deploy tens of thousands of servers. Is it the latency of the interconnection? Or the bandwidth? Or something entirely different?
Assuming that it’s technically practical, the results would be very unsettling: the phone screen would look like a window with the content “behind “ the window, very far away.
Nitpick: Calvin was mostly active in Geneva, in the French speaking part. The most important exponent of the Reformation in Zurich was Zwingli. And the (German speaking) cantons in Central Switzerland that “founded” Switzerland are to this day mostly Catholic.
Residential neighborhoods don’t have the same peak density. In central business districts every street has shops, in residential ones it wouldn’t be sustainable.
I wouldn’t call Unpaywall a copycat of sci-hub. Unpaywall helps finding links to the same article hosted elsewhere, e.g. on a preprint server or on the author’s page. It is more similar to specific features of Google Scholar or Semantic Scholar, with the small additional convenience of appearing directly on the article web page, instead of requiring a search.
I use Wise regularly and pay about 0.5% for EUR/GBP/CHF transactions.
The reason why DeFi exchanges offer low fees is that they are not “companies”, they are fully automated and have no overhead. For a company offering forex services the main expense are salaries, not fees (that on wholesale markets are on the order of 0.01%), therefore they would not benefit from using a blockchain as an underlying layer.
> The Windows 10 China Government Edition is based on Windows 10 Enterprise Edition, which already includes many of the security, identity, deployment, and manageability features governments and enterprises need. The China Government Edition will use these manageability features to remove features that are not needed by Chinese government employees like OneDrive, to manage all telemetry and updates, and to enable the government to use its own encryption algorithms within its computer systems.
Moreover almost all local power companies (e.g. ewz in Zurich) have laid fiber cables and lease them to ISPs. Most of them don’t even sell internet access directly, therefore they don’t have the same conflict of interest that Swisscom has.
Einstein had a degree in Maths and Physics and did his PhD as an external student while working at the Patent Office. How is he an example of schools killing creativity?
The webpage specifies that it is _not_ available to citizens of EU/EFTA countries. In fact they can already work remotely from Iceland without any visa requirement, thanks to Freedom of Movement agreements.
At first I thought that the website was sarcastic. But they are unironically selling those “unmasks” without making it clear that they are as useful as a fishnet mask.
Hurricane Katrina made very little damage directly, as an effect of the energy of the wind. Almost all the damage was caused by the flood, which in turn turn was a consequence of the levees failing.
It doesn’t make much sense to compare the energy released by Katrina to that of the Tonga eruption.
That’s the most sensible solution. AFAIK however there neither a cross-dialect way to specify that specific constraint, nor a simple way to SELECT the column name and the value of the unique non-null value.
You’re right. What I mean is that rapid tests are positive for omicron-infected cases, just as for other variants. They don’t distinguish between omicron and other variants.
Even if possible, such an initiative could only be successful if Mozilla supports it otherwise the “new” code will quickly go out of sync with the Firefox codebase.
