Why do we make computers multiply single digit numbers, instead of taking the result from a lookup table, like humans do? To answer my own question, I am assuming it would be because multiplying would still be faster than reading from a lookup table? Any ideas?

any pointers on how to make it work for boox color e-ink device (it runs android) ?

Its the same guy who tweeted a photo of a pepperoni claiming it to be a star

Why has , recently, Pakistan been seen added more and more to a new category "MENAP" and separate from South Asia (i.e. India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh) ?

These classifications should be geographic and could even racial, but it seems this new classification (MENAP) seems more "religious"

That "view page source" took some loong time to load.

From the animation: "Torque grows with the cube of diameter"

That seems like a pretty cool cheat-code to get more power. Perhaps it will mean you will start having cars with more distance from the ground to accommodate the large dia motor wheels.

My take is related but different. I believe that Google believes the customer's for these "premium" Googlebooks are the kids who used Chromebooks all their school years, and are now graduating school, getting into university, or getting into their first job. Google is presenting them an option, that feels familiar, but is also premium. The next level. The big-boy upgrade. Familiar but Better.

My take: Do proper security, but if you are short on time or resources, you can start with security through obscurity, to block a few percentage of attacks, and then when you have time and resources, go ahead and add the proper security measures.

I REALLY liked the interface. One nitpick: When the image description is ON, the left and right buttons keep moving up and down after every image, so I cannot keep my mouse in one location and keep clicking NEXT.

did u see the TV mode link? i wish more visualization sites had that.

It was a pilot. Isn't this (kinda) good news that this "bug" was caught and now the next iteration will be closer to the intended behavior?

load event or "DOMContentLoaded" event. No?

No mention of no backlit in keyboard?

Also, there is nothing wrong with looking like an idiot. Thats only in your mind. As long as you have put thought into your reply, even if it not structured correctly, or verbose, or does not have perfect English, humans can still decipher it and understand it.

The issue is that all money-throwing needs to be balanced by careful thought. This cycle the money-throwing at snow plowing worked. Next cycle, it will not be as effective, as more people who want to "game" the rewards will enter the equation. So every cycle, along with money, some thought will need to go into improving the system or coming up with alternate solutions.

They are also a mess in UI now.

In the "Intelligence applied" section, where they show the comparison animations, they are shown using a non-optimal UI.

There is not enough time to read the text, see old animation, and see new animation. Better would have been to keep the same animation on repeat, so that people have unlimited time to read the text and observer the animations.

Also, it jumps from example to example in the same video. Better would have been to show each separately, so that once user is done observing one example at their own pace, they can proceed to the next.

As a workaround, I had to open the video (just the video) in a new tab, pause once an example came up, read the text, then rewind to the start of the animation to see the old animation example, then rewind again, then see the new animation example, and then sometimes rewind again if I wanted to see the animation again. Then, once done with the example, I had to forward to the next example and repeat the above process again.

Somewhere along that process, they lost me.

they way i handle this with my teams: any bugs caught by the QA team go against the developers. any bugs caught after QA green lights the go live go against the QA team. (Of course, discounting any bugs that are deemed acceptable for go live by the PM).

What if we do vertical bi-facial panels, mounted on a rotating circle that rotates to align the panels with the sun (north-south or east-east or in between) depending on the time of the year. Wouldn't that be the best of all worlds right now?

So, I recommend seeing it in 3 passes. 1st pass, see the right 1/3rd area of the video. It shows the 2 sides moving. Then see the middle 1/3rd area of the video. It shows both the movement and the rupture in the ground. Then see the left 1/3rd area of the video. It shows the rupture on the ground clearly.

I have noticed searching for topics that interest me, ends up showing more content related to that search term in my feed. At least for some time. Just putting it out there incase someone wants to manually tweak their timeline using the search workaround.

Zuck did a calculation: "Does the risk of lawsuits and bad PR outweigh the benefits of being early?".

If u remove morals from the equation, nearly every CEO would have made that same decision if in that position.

A stream is timeline based serial content (like twitter "following"). A garden is exploratory, with content not being serial in time.

I would recommend for him to visit a poor country and see how the people live and survive. He will find (I am assuming) find purpose. Maybe he will make his life mission to build and install water wells, or sponsor underprivileged kids education or something along those lines.

Can anyone please direct me to a picture / image / illustration / animated-gif of the position being referred to in the paper?

This is easy. Bitcoin reaches it's high between Jun and Oct. This is based on historical 4 year trends.

Then falls. Falls around 70%. Again, this is based on historical trends.

And yes, while past performance is not indicative of future performance, the bitcoin cycle has been following this, and when everyone expects this, it ends up happening by the virtue of everyone's expectation.

> Crypto has a major correction; bitcoin finishes the year well under $100k.
