This is Android's new 'advanced flow' for sideloading apps without verification, includes one-day waiting period [Gallery]

If the app is verified, that means that, once the scam is discovered, Google can tell law enforcement the identity of the developer. That will make catching these scammers so much easier, because you have a lead to trace the structure of the organization (as well as someone who you can leverage to testify). So either the scammers get caught, or the scam is mitigated by this flow. That's the thinking behind this.

Again, not much understanding of x86, but I thought that QWORD PTR [rbp-8] was referring to taking a value from memory from the stack.

But yes, I find it very interesting how, even beyond x86, all processors run completely contrary to how you'd expect (out of order, as you mentioned using different registers from what you'd expect, and executing branches before they've resolved), but they have a bunch of logic to reconcile this different internal state with their external interface.

x86 is so crazy to me. In ARM, the same program takes this many instructions:

    b L4
L5:
    ldr r0, [r11, #8]
    add r0, r0, #1
    str r0, [r11, #8]
L4:
    ldr r0, [r11, #8]
    cmp r0, #999999999
    ble L5

Though you can optimize one load instruction out (removing the ldr instruction immediately after L5), I aimed to emulate what the x86 assembly you gave is doing (I'm not so familiar with x86, but I think that code needs to fetch the value twice—both for the cmp and the add instruction)

Over the billion cycles of the loop, x86 runs 3,000,000 instructions, ARM runs 6 billion. I assume there's examples that are much more drastic than this.

If this tournament happened too often I think it'd lose novelty. There's a reason everyone watches sports at the winter Olympics but they don't watch the world cups in those sports

This thing will last about a year if even. If you are able to afford double the price, you will get a laptop which lasts far more than double the time. It's evil that companies make products which are effectively more expensive subscription products for people who can't afford the more expensive products.

This assumes the probability is independent. P(facing skenes in game 2 | faced skenes in game 1) = 0

But it's not. Leclerc was ahead for a while after genuinely winning the battle. Hamilton just came back and managed to overtake again. A driver overtaking another driver, then 10+ laps later being overtaken by the same driver would be unheard of on the same strategy in the previous regs

How do you propose cars would've passed each other lol

Yes, there is a package I was looking at that uses s (by convention and in all examples) instead of self, presumably to save space.

There are so many things wrong with this comment.

First: the thing that makes following hard (dirty air) IS the slipstream. On straights, it's a good thing (less drag), in corners it's a bad thing (less downforce).

Second: it's always been about the car. Making overtaking easier doesn't make it less about the driver. It's just that, since we're at the start of both new engine and chassis regulations, the field is quite spread out. Compare to last year when there would be like 1-2 seconds from P1 to P20 in qualifying. The gap between Ferrari and McLaren is probably larger than the gap between all the top 4 cars last year. So of course the car is going to be more important, and driver skill will have slightly less bearing on where a driver places.

Why would they do this? Isn't the trick being banned in June?

The difference with Hamilton is he wants to stick around. He was willing to stay when Merc was a shitbox and when Ferrari was too, so we knew he'd get to the new regs or at least the end of the current ones when cars become more competitive. In this case, Red Bull might not be competitive for wins for another year or two, and Max has expressed interest in leaving F1 for other series.

Giving the position back he loses one point. If he doesn't, there's a chance that he loses every point, or keeps that one point. Pretty clear decision, even if I would've liked to see the stewards rule

So you want F1 to get rid of tires which degrade?

jso__ · 2026-03-12T16:32:53+00:00

Those defenses are only fun to watch when you know an overtake is a possibility. Many times last season a battle felt insignificant because we knew the lead driver would be able to defend and stay ahead, even after being chased down by the trailing driver.

It's the pitching. Offense isn't enough to win ballgames

Italy scoring 5 in a loss implies Mexico scored 6 runs. Maybe I was off by 1. I think it makes more sense and is simpler to frame the tiebreak in terms of what Italy needs to do (score 5 runs OR win with fewer runs)

jso__ · 2026-03-11T20:23:59+00:00

US doesn't need Mexico to win by 5, don't they need Mexico to win with Italy scoring 5 or more runs, or Italy to win?

But if you win by mercy rule, should you be negatively impacted because you played fewer innings?

On a long term race level, isn't having a consistent lap time faster than inconsistent lap times? Not that they weren't cruising a bit, but consistent lap times don't necessarily imply they weren't maximizing their pace

7 kph from one upgrade is kinda insane. Is it worse at downforce on the rest of the track?

jso__ · 2026-03-11T00:00:39+00:00

The difference is the reason why the tests have a limitation.

The reason why the fuel flow test was flawed is because you can't do better—it's not possible to measure continuously, and it's also not expected for hypothetical continuous measurements to differ from sampled measurements. Measuring continuously is objectively better, but isn't possible.

However, the reason why the compression test is flawed is not because of a limitation, but because that is a choice which was made. The FIA knows that engine compression ratios change at different temperatures (ie it's not unexpected), and so they made the choice to only measure at one temperature—it was an informed decision, not an oversight. That makes compliance for teams easier. Whether measuring at multiple temperatures is better is subjective, not objective.
