Honestly, the overall experience wasn't that bad. I did get a lot out of those 3 years.

To put things into perspective, not many people ever get to set foot inside of a leading-edge fab. I've been inside multiple, both in America & Korea. I've been able to sit in meetings with engineers across the entire spectrum and participate in multi-national system upgrade efforts.

The best way to describe the whole experience is like working inside a starship. Genuinely, it feels incredible to walk into that room and see billions of dollars of the most sophisticated hardware on earth all working together in relentless harmony. Simply sitting in the engineering offices and seeing the real-time logs scrolling gives you a sense for the monstrosity just a few firewalls over. The techniques & hardware are exotic by default everywhere. It almost never gets old.

But, just like all good things this experience fades with time. I wanted to build new amazing things and being one mere engineering pleb inside this gigantic organization makes that a difficult gambit. Perhaps if the organization was willing to explore more experimental / "internal startup" style work, I could be compelled to review future opportunities. There were plenty of problems to solve but getting a design meeting or a piece of IT infra to run something on were nearly impossible during my time there.
OpenTTD has more of a focus on transport and economy. This project focuses more on city building like the SimCity games.

"Our reputation would be permanently damaged if dropbox is compromised."

This is why I trust DropBox with my data: because I'm a paying customer. That means our goals are aligned.
Uh... I think 'pivoting' is being used ironically, since the poster probably realizes that they're simply dropping the old project and moving on.

The 'haha, pivot is overused' meme /is/ pretty common by this point, right?

Trees used to cover the earth, and fossil fuels used to be sequestered underground.

We cut down trees and burned fuels. Planting trees only undoes one of those two.

This kind of facile response radically underestimates the magnitude of what we have to reverse.
An international version of this was Oppenheimer's vision (both for peaceful nuclear applications and weapons) which he expressed in his personal writings and in the Acheson–Lilienthal report. It was not looked favorably on by most of the US government and was the first step to the eventual revocation of his security clearance and removal from any position of influence.
The cheapest option is probably to build nuclear to the level that meets minimum demand at night, and solar for everything on top of that, with just enough storage to even out the remaining discrepancies.

Storage is quite a bit more expensive than nuclear, and while the cost is dropping it has a long way to go. At the same time, new nuclear technologies like molten salt reactors could well drop the price of nuclear. For that to be a factor, we'd likely have to get more aggressive with licensing new nuclear technologies; i.e. we'd have to treat climate change with the urgency it deserves.

Here's a Lazard report on levelized cost of storage: https://www.lazard.com/perspective/lcoe2019
I’m not sure why you are being downvoted, because Tesla has an advantage, and not only in data collection:

Waymo, as a privately-held company, has no strong incentive to deliver, and it doesn’t have strong delivery plan in the first place.

Waymo’s sensor package is an disadvantage too - apart from being expensive, in real world most likely it will be too finicky. You could have argued in 2000s that with current technology it’s not possible to do world modeling without Lidar, in 2020 you can do it with video cameras.
2-3 fingers vertically in mouth also works in a pinch if you don't have anything else handy. It's really good for those about-to-walk-on-stage moments to induce enunciation.
It doesn't matter how cheap it is. No sun and no wind means no power, which means using coal and other fossil fuels. Increasing use of natural gas has reduced emissions more than switching to renewables.
I would add it doesn't take into account imported emissions - when a country emits CO2 to produce things that other countries buy. I'm not really sure who is responsible then.
How could it be made locally for cheap? Who is going to pay to build the local factories for everything your local drug store stocks (not to mention all the other local stores)? Who is going to work in all of those factories for cheap? Wont all of those thousands of local toothbrush factories worldwide pollute even more than a single toothbrush factory worldwide?
Economic and political conditions of the mid 19th century led directly to the development of ideologies that we fought wars over in the first half of the 20th century.

I've always wondered whether humanity would enter a new cycle of competing ideologies. Maybe we are...
this was blown way out of proportion by apple, too. they had the big, ominous message on their front page, and it wasn't that different of a cryptic message than what they usually post up for other actual product announcements.

Has anyone read "Data Analysis with Open Source Tools"? http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596802356/ I can't seem to look through the book, not even at Amazon, which I like to do before buying something.
The Hadoop book gives lots of insights into the internals of Hadoop.

But if you want to get started quickly you might be better off just reading a quick guide (http://www.michael-noll.com/wiki/Running_Hadoop_On_Ubuntu_Li...) and using the Pig console.

This wasn't by mistake, or stumbling into it. It was a very purposeful attack on our democracy.
> So I told them, ‘If you’re saying you can’t say whether I did receive the funds, tell me where they went?’ And they said, “Oh, no, we can’t do that.’ So I can’t clear myself and they won’t clear me.”

I had the same with Verizon after someone opened a wireless account in my name. After supplying all the documentation they asked for, they came back to me, "our investigation believes the account was not opened fraudulently" (i.e. that they were saying that the account, and credit tradeline, were in fact mine).

"So what documents did I use to open this account?"
"We can't tell you, for privacy reasons."
"Did you verify my identity at the start of this call?"
"Yes."
"And you're saying your investigation believes that I opened the account."
"Yes."
"So I can't see my own documents in order to protect my privacy?"
"Well... in case the account isn't yours... umm, ahh..."

One could argue that it's not "fundamental", but it's definitely a functional limitation of the current Intel cores. The memory bandwidth of a single core is hardware limited by the number "Line Fill Buffers". Each buffer keeps track of one outstanding L1 cacheline miss, thus the number of LFB's limits the memory level parallelism (MLP). "Little's Law" gives the relationship between the latency, outstanding requests, and throughput. With 10 LFB's and the current latency of memory, it's physically impossible for a single core to use all available memory bandwidth, especially on machines with more than 2 memory channels.

The M1 chip allows higher MLP, presumably because it has more LFB's per core (or maybe they are using different approach where the LFB's are not per-core?). I apologize for using so many abbreviations. I searched to try to find a better intro, but didn't find anything perfect. I did come across this thread that (apparently) I started several years ago at the point where I was trying to understand what was happening: https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Tuning-Performance/S....
when copying from a browser, I usually just paste/copy from the address bar (using Alt-D to quickly go there), saves me from locating notepad.
Thank you for the thoughtful response.

I agree the economic issues are problematic and painful. Sadly, I don’t see a way around a lot of financial pain for everyone over coming months regardless of the status of a lockdown. Depending on your job and industry, there simply isn’t any work to be done while there’s a real risk of death (tourism comes to mind).

I think one big sticking point for me around arguments to reopen boil down to our medical care workers—doctors, nurses, and everyone who supports them. I’m not comfortable telling _anyone_ that they need to die to keep the economy going, especially when our medical workers don’t have a say in the matter.
You could argue against any rule enforcement by saying "what if they do the opposite eventually".
Mitch: "I'm sorry baby, take me back. I promise I won't do it again."

I've been in abusive relationships, fuck a single apology, change materializes due to consequences. There need to be consequences first.
That's been taken into account (though apparently not correctly, see eikenberry's comment below). All PHP versions shipped with currently supported releases of Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS were considered safe.
If you're trolling this post with spectacularly bad advice about bad advice, well done. If you truly believe that, you have a very cynical worldview.

I am quite introverted but whenever I force myself to go to a social event where I don't know anyone and make friends, I always have a great time and meet awesome people, and it invariably goes better than I thought it would. If you just assume the people there WANT to be your friend, you don't look needy and your extroverted side comes out, and you can still be yourself.

They're only famous when they are the last words said. But they are said far more often and wind up being proved correct.
The environment native behavior of the command prompt is text on stdout. It's effectively not Windows, it's something like MSDOS 10. Popping up a help window is just nonsensical behavior.
There certainly was less creative production, but history was different. Until recently copying and distributing something wasn't free and effortless. So it used to be that you could still make a decent living out of something even if somebody else copied you. This is no longer the case.

As a result many software companies are turning to server based applications, where they can physically enforce artificial scarcity. Now consumers are not only disallowed from copying and distributing the software, but (1) they are no longer even able to (2) they often lose control of their own data (3) they lose control over their usage of the software: the company can suspend their account at any time. Is this a good thing? In my opinion it is not.
It didn't mess up my life, but when I was in high school the conventional wisdom was that being well rounded helped you get into good colleges. I spent a lot of time playing team sports and the saxophone; neither of those are hobbies of mine today. I wish I had spent some of that time doing something that would still be relevant to me today, like programming (there are a LOT of successful founders that started programming in their early teens; I didn't start until college).
seems like he got very lucky/spent a very long time searching ebay to find the right parts to make this work. I don't think you would easily be able to replicate this.
This is another example of the blockchain “solution” looking for a problem. There’s nothing in the provided description that requires blockchain in the slightest.
>The big issue here is that it’s not clear that you need a blockchain for any of it.

Doesn't the same apply to many blockchain applications ?
I'd also put Roblox in there as well. It absorbed many (IMO) of the minigame creation efforts from Minecraft, FPS mods, and RTS games. Nowadays, probably bigger than all 3 combined (I know one is a game, one is a classification of communities, and the latter is an entire genre), though I only have my own guesses and no hard data to go off of.
What if they are smart and they're getting exactly what they want? Look at Paul Ryan who accomplished all he set out to do so he retired to a sinecure post at Fox News that pays millions. I'd hardly call him a fool.
From what I can tell (yeah it's pretty unclear), Dropbox Backup is a Backblaze-like plan that keeps a backup copy of your files without counting against storage capacity. I'm not sure if they also have a policy to delete backup files for deleted local files after X days, though.

EDIT: FAQ[1] for "what if I accidentally deleted a backed-up file" mentions the same "restorable up to 30 days" line as normal Dropbox, so I'm guessing anything you delete locally is gone from backup as well.

You are right, in modern times, carbs are generally considered bad. But some people trying all protein diets do report diarrhea. Doctors don't generally refer to it as too much protein, though. They refer to the problem as too little fiber.

Also, some arctic explorers tried living on all meat, and suffered vitamin deficiencies such as scurvy. So, while meat is a complete protein, unless you are eating fresh liver meat from a fresh kill, you are going to need some source of vitamin C at the minimum. Except for liver, meat isn't actually a great way to get fat soluble vitamins either.
I don't know what to say, I don't even know if I should be proud to be Italian.
Agreed, upgraded since the beta and had few issues, and only then on beta releases that have since been fixed. Not sure how constructive this comment is, but thought it was worth seconding your experience.

Given that's the offering, it doesn't surprise me a bit they didn't go with OpenStack. That said, I guess they think running containers on bare metal is a better way to roll.

I find this interesting.
If you invented it and noone knows about it, then you did not invent it.
"A grid of icons isn't exactly new. Palm did it before Apple. Windows 3.11 before Palm."

Apple's Newton OS came three years before Palm's Pilot. Apple's Mac System came 8 years before Windows 3.11. They all used grids of icons, it's part of the desktop metaphor. If that were the only thing Samsung copied, I doubt they would be getting sued now.
"Some type of 2yr contract" is actually easier to understand than whatever they were going to put there...
Twitter have explicitly said they don't see a lot of value in third-party client software, so that doesn't seem likely to constrain them here.
One wonders what is he so angry about?

I switched from Slackware to OS X precisely because I felt OS X did more things automatically for me. Also, If you've used slackbuilds, they are actually quite similar to homebrew, in my opinion.
Doesn't solve your problem directly, but it's a nice way to have static pages in your app in a manageable way.

You'd want to do something along the lines of what they show in the override section and test for your authenticated session within the controller, branching appropriately.
Why can't Haskell tutorials speak plainly? I write code, I read mathematics. Each software concept has a linkage to a mathematical concept. I am not a magician to be gibbered at by strange words only understood by the esoteric initiates.

None of that stuff matters at all from a biological standpoint. From a psychological standpoint, it's helpful to get water in first (fills you up a bit, adds 0 calories). Same with a salad (fills you up a bit, adds few calories).
Do you have a suggestion on a good and large SSD? And what did you install it into?
I've been in a number of bar fights, and I find that kicks to the legs work wonders. Of course, I train in mixed martial arts, and if poorly delivered, I agree, kicks are generally a losing proposition if you don't know what you're doing. The risk vs. reward is high -- also, if you're not in great shape, it takes much more energy (depleting stamina) to throw a kick than it does a punch.

The only other major correction I just had to point out (to the article, not the parent who is basically right) is that while they do mention to circle, they don't specify where to. You should usually be circling to their 'weak' side, which is the shortest path toward their back -- for a southpaw, this is to their right, for a right-handed fighter, it's to their left (or counter-clockwise around them).
Good find, especially the second paragraph, thanks.
in what sense does enterprise purchasing use "maintenance"

90% of the time, they don't. It's a checklist item. They don't care if it ever gets used.
I'm reminded of the origin of Youtube - loads of video startups tried a similar thing, until the underlying tech became sufficient, and Youtube found the sweet spot of product-market fit (with enough capital to run at a loss for long enough).

These kind of video portals may not be quite viable yet, but it seems like they are right around the corner. I entirely share your sentiments about cable TV.

Something like this (like Youtube in it's time) seems inevitable - it's exciting to imagine the effect this sort of thing will have on the world.
Looks terrible on retina screens. I cast away any company/service automatically that doesn't pay attention to minute details like this.
It looks like this (ruby's CSV library) defines CSV to be some unknown superset of RFC 4180, so just following the RFC should get this feature to work.

I believe the issue with the alarm is that most people don't repeatedly flag the same alarm.

E.g. if a given test were to generate a false positive, you would expect that it wouldn't generate a false positive the next time if run on the same article, especially if the machine correctly doesn't alert on other innocuous articles.

So in the normal situation someone sets of the chemical detector, once, gets pulled aside for questioning. Their gear doesn't set off the detector again and so the agents are able to conclude it's a false alarm.

To be clear, I don't agree with the treatment OP received in this case, but I fail to see how it is sinister that someone repeatedly sets off chemical detector alarms (that no one else sets off repeatedly), has burned all ties to his residence, is religious and is going up to meet family for a religious gathering.

It's not that such behavior is automatically suspicious, it's that the behavior is still almost indistinguishable from those who previously have caused terrorist attacks.

In this case the FBI agent isn't trying to prove OP a terrorist as much as he's trying hard (and failing) to prove that he's not.
I'm slightly embarrassed to say that didn't even occur to me, but yes. It makes the interview experience helpful for something other than more interviews.
Patriot on XM radio is currently ignoring it, which is interesting, because they played Trump speech almost in its entirety. Guy was egging them on.

I guess they need to get talking points straight.

edit: One of hosts broke the silence. He compared it to BLM and called on CNN to call it fiery, but mostly peaceful. I could not help but to chuckle.

edit2: Even Trump got cold feet. He asked people to calm down. You can only play with fire for so long ( https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1346928882... ).
The people storming those buildings think an election was stolen from them, and no amount of 'fact check' thinkpieces in the NYTimes is going to convince them otherwise. Unless strong measures are put into place so both sides can have confidence in the outcomes of future elections, I expect more of this to occur.
SMS is 25+ years old -- I only know I had it on my first phone -- and the absolute ubiquity of replacements (of which WhatsApp is just one) suggests those problems are real ones for a lot of people. If you're not "most people" in this conversation, that's a pretty big caveat when talking about how the problems are not actually so, really.
CNN. Not just DC's too.
I'm sorry, but as much as I love biking, rail trails as a concept make me quite sad. We are looting the carcass of a better past economy.

You’ll get people guessing, since Apple itself puts out so little information.
Unfortunately, you've fallen into the trap, friend. FOX may be to the right of MSNBC, but on a larger scale historically-informed left-right spectrum, the two are not actually that far apart ideologically. Most "conservative principles" these days are just the modern liberal status quo delayed by ~20 years; for example, anti-homosexual rhetoric is dead and dying on that side in a way that lines up well with what I remember from the Democrats in the late 90s.

The hyperpolarization is not to do with the right vs left dichotomy so much as it is a deliberate, encouraged-by-both-sides establishment of a false dichotomy designed to pen people into a small range of discourse. Some call this the Overton window; the deliberate establishment of contrasting narratives in a 2-pronged strategy was perfected in America by Arthur Finkelstein in the mid-20th century and is becoming an art form today.

If you can see FOX as a "right wing propaganda machine" but can't see the other MSM networks as being equally polarizing machines aimed at a different half of the audience, you're missing the shot.

The solution is to see the false dichotomy for what it is, look at who is pushing it, and look at what direction both "sides" actually push for. If you're on the right, they want you to have your attention and energy soaked up in this useless Stop the Steal push for Trump, who actually didn't accomplish any of the things his populist base asked for (immigration control, really bringing back American jobs, giving a shit about the working class). If you're on the Left, they want to soak you up with Biden instead of the more progressive policies that someone like Bernie or Tulsi Gabbard espoused. Either way, you're being played if you allow your energy to go toward supporting one of these useless figureheads instead of critiquing the system itself.
If the fire department came to my house right this moment, broke down the front door, and started spraying water everywhere I would be pretty upset!
If they did it when my house was on fire and I called them, I would be pretty grateful!
That's not hypocrisy, it is understanding there is a time and a place for things.
Uh, the comment talks about trials and conviction, not "summary".
