The summary says it was used as a stressor. Wikipedia: "y-cruncher can also be used for stress-tests, as performed computations are sensitive to RAM errors and the program can automatically detect such errors.[1][2]; "The technical challenge does not (any longer) lie in the calculation itself, but in providing an environment that enables a comparatively efficient execution.[11]" https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F...

Also about the previous record from Google: "This achievement is a testament to how much faster Google Cloud infrastructure gets, year in, year out. " https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcloud.google.com%2Fblog%2F...

The summary mentions "intermediate checkpoints" implying they have done some verification.

Within the previously existing Israel-Iran conflict, there was no immediate reason for the bombings to spread to Qatar. With Iran directly at war with a larger power, and kills on their highest leaders, the Iranian regime has nothing more to lose, so they make the war spread and as painful as possible.

Today I'll make an exception and defend the beancounters.

For the past decades, the world operated under the assumption that the major leaders wanted peace, and took competent advice on geopolitics. Supporting Israel to remain a sizeable regional power was enough to "keep Iran from doing something stupid". Iran bombing critical Qatari facilities was therefore a low risk, and industries calculated their needs based on that. This is part of what got us the incredibly inexpensive electronics we had just yesterday.

The rationale and the calculations only changed now that "the US doing something stupid" became a possibility. It's easy to ask, why not 1 month or 2 months of storage of critical materials. The thing is there are way too many critical materials in complex industries to store. It's only feasible for industries whose costs are protected, like defence. In a market pushed by consumer goods where people click on the cheapest deal, it isn't feasible.

Or you need strong regulations to oblige companies to do so. But while you can compel Western companies e.g. "Intel" to increase their costs and take stocks, you can't reach foreign competitors; you're just giving more advantage to the products made by the likes of Longsoon and MediaTek.

* The word "Iran conflict" is from the Slashdot Editor (not from a journalist).
* The word is linked to an URL, which is from Wikipedia (not from a journalist either).
* The Wikipedia article it links to is titled "2026 Iran war".

You can potentially complain about the Editor, but nobody else. Personally I find it fine. "Conflict" is just shorthand for "armed conflict", which is a war. Also, what happens in Iran can be worded as a war, a conflict, a situation. One does not have to use the most specific word everytime, when the context is obvious. It's not like Russia using "SMO" to avoid the word "war". The Slashdot Editor clearly linked to a Wikipedia article titled "War". We are allowed to use similar words for a variation.

(Your friend is an ahole). Cats hide their pain so they don't signal themselves as an easy prey. If the cat had been taken up and down normally without pain, it would not have felt the need to run off.

This description is more suitable for the "influencer" kind of writer, who'd want every exposure possible. Others see themselves as artists and want control over whatever text goes under their name.

The first problem is trust and respect. Before using anyone's name and image, you ask (and that might include compensation, of course). Some writers might want nothing to do with Grammarly for any reason. Sending money right away would be the worst thing to do, that would admit that there is a commercial value, and that they failed to negotiate it. BY the way, sending a few dollars would be just another kind of lack of respect. Makes you feel a cheap prostitute.

Let's see some of the comments from LinkedIn: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fposts...
* "If you want to use people’s names and expertise, how about you (1) ask them first and (2) pay them for it" -- Tom Coates
* " ... middle-school level LLM junk that no professional writer would ever let past a first draft." -- Rick Porter (there's someone called like that who's a journalist for The Hollywood reporter)
* Kory Stamper, a lexicographer and editor for Merriam-Webster (I can't see her comment again, I would need a LinkedIn account): she calculated the "micro$$$" compensation would be $0.01 per user per day, and reached the sum of $90m.

They should have limited themselves to few options of classic authors e.g. "in the style of Hemingway". Instead they used then name of for example Kory Stamper, a live lexicographer for Marriam-Webster (see her comment on TFA / LinkedIn): "I sent my opt-out request--and an invoice for all the work I evidently did for Grammarly."

That's what I tell people when the topic comes up, but that does not help much, it's 6 days of efforts for some DST thing they didn't like to start with.

Also it only work for the change that makes you wake earlier. In the other direction you reasonably can only wake up 15 min late on Friday, then use Sat, Sun (assuming you don't work), resulting in a 15 min step on the Monday. But the kid will probably ignore that and will still wake up earlier even if you plan to leave it more 15 min, then 30, 45 min to sleep.

The problem is the "mostly". Being denied a visa in advance is the best case scenario. You could be refused entry after the plan lands. There's an in-flight questionnaire, and (apparently) in-person phone search is a possibility.

* Would I be refused entry because of a moderately unfavourable opinion on Facebook they'll only find while searching my phone? I don't write anything extreme, but who knows what's a problem and what's not?
* If I don't have a Facebook account, should I right now open one just for the purpose of having a clean profile that says nothing wrong and that will be approved? (How many people will go though this stinky hypocrisy?)
* Will I be refused entry for saying "I don't have social profiles"? (Which makes me look like I have something to hide.)
* Is it better to disclose a slashdot account than saying "no social profiles"? Would *this->message(), be sufficient to be refused entry?

I can't be sure, nobody really knows, and I obviously can't ask an US embassy for advice.

Travelling takes time and money. There is better use for both than taking a very small (albeit not zero) risk of spending a night in jail until next flight, and be separated from family in the process. We now have Zoom, and there are other places where people will feel genuinely welcomed.

For journalists the risk is higher, because they express opinions daily, and because the current administration hasn't been favourable to journalists in general.

Now imagine a Beowulf cluster of illegal Mormons.

People complain about 1) waking time of young children (they don't adapt the same as teenagers or adults), 2) the possibility accidents induced by drivers and machine workers being more tired on the morning after the change.

Still in use in astronomy as the fractional part of the Julian Date. Right now JD=2461107.97090 which you can read as day 2461107, time: 09 hours, 70 minutes, 90 seconds. JD has an epoch 4713 BC so is also adequate for (most of) human history. There are many variants setting different epochs. Most popular in practice is the Modified Julian Date, which offsets time by 2400000.5. Other variants have set the zero in 1900, 1950, 2000.

The summary is unclear and confusing regarding which decisions are worldwide or only apply to the US exports. This makes a really big difference for the discussion regarding the consequences of tariffs. The OP is helpful in clarifying that they only stopped exporting to the country that enforced increased tariffs.
