> because they are required to

The government is not requiring cops to send innocent people to jail, kill extrajudicially, or otherwise ruin peoples’ lives simply because they felt like it. In fact, that’s the exact opposite of justice, which is actually their mandate.

> There’s no rational distinction between [police officers and health inspectors]

One has leeway to kill innocent people outside of the court system based on subjective characteristics (“I was scared”) with little consequence, the other checks a court-approved checklist and passes or fails based on an objective criteria.

> No same person would ever work in law enforcement if their kid’s college fund is subject to being raised because they did their jobs

Again, it is antithetical to their job to carry out injustice, and when people mess up their job bad enough, such a killing or framing an innocent person (intentionally or not), there should be consequences. Similar to how bad surgeons who have a clear pattern of killing their patients (intentionally or not) are taken out of operating rooms and medicinal license potentially revoked, or the corrupt lawyer who colludes with the other side in return for kickbacks is disbarred.

Unlike the overworked DMV employee who didn’t properly register someone in the system and wasted most of their day, when an overworked cop messes up, someone just lost a whole more time they’ll never get back — potentially a life’s worth.
Qualified immunity was made up by courts, their legislating from the bench should have no merit, and therefore revoking qualified immunity is the right thing to do under checks and balances.

We need a replacement, one written in legislation, that puts fixed narrow limits on how immunity applies. If you break the law - you should receive no protections. There is no excuse for enforcers of law to not know the law. This will put the liability into officers And government workers/representatives hands and force them to respect the law.
Gravel / dirt road and then take canoe to some secluded spot. No one is around which to me is enough to call it "complete wilderness", does not need to be Ellesmere Island. No visible "destruction of nature" either.
This isn't really new. Here is an article in early 2017 [1], and I remember there are DataCenter trailing it in 2016. OVH has always been water cooled although they are not submerging it.

The reason I remember it hasn't caught on was because the cost and benefits does not out-weight Air Cooling. Where it is a well understood design and DataCenter construction does not need new design and thoughts input. With future Chiplet or Tiles design we could easily hit a chip with 1000W TDP along with 1000W GPGPU and TPU sitting close.

May be it finally make sense to took at look again.

> That said Bazel is portable - it generally needs Java and Bash and is generally portable to platforms that have both, though I haven't checked recently. There are exceptions though, and it will run natively in Windows, just not as easily. https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/windows.html It also works on Mac, but it's missing Linux disk sandboxing features and makes up for it using weird paths and so on.

The good old: in theory it's portable, but in practice the target of that port better look 100% like Linux :-)

Because it's money they weren't planning on making, and could easily replace severalfold through one of several quick, simple changes to their site if they cared to. They weren't re-investing it in the business, using it to grow or hire; it was simply sitting in their coffers or being paid out as bonuses and charity donations. In short, if you consider Craigslist a black box, losing this income source will have no visible effect on the external operations of that black box—it will be as if it hadn't happened.

Suggest you remove "CEO" from your title.

Having that word in your title has one, and only one, positive effect – your co founders are agreeing that you are the leader - and that increases your team’s efficiency in the race to develop your prototype.

But the negatives are far too many.

When investors think of the word “CEO”, what typically comes to their mind is a person experienced in taking companies from the startup stage to the exit stage. Furthermore, a having a CEO position filled indicates to them that a significant funding round is in place.

If you are thinking that by giving yourself that title today you are positioning yourself for being the CEO post-funding, that is a false assumption. What is more likely is that at some stage in the company’s evolution, an outsider will be better suited to take the company to the next level.

Of course, there are many, many exceptions such as Dell, Bezos, etc. But rather than claim the CEO title at the onset, and subject yourself and future CEO candidates to unnecessary discomfort, (“we are seeking a CEO” versus “we are seeking to replace our CEO”), let your funding stockholders make that decision.

What’s most important is that your baby gets funded…avoid all barriers to that critical event.
They don't have any choice in the matter.
Reminds me of the lead paint in toy scandal during the late 2000’s.

https://money.cnn.com/2009/06/05/news/companies/cpsc/

Mattel lobbied for and helped write legislation that regulated themselves... and everyone else.

The laws ended up disproportionately hurting small toy makers while rewarding Mattel for their bad behavior.

https://reason.com/2009/08/31/law-passed-after-mattel-toy-sc...

When you realize Bezos also owns a newspaper, and journalists get paid to write articles praising this or that. Honestly, it’s enough to jade anyone at this point.

I like how Thiel's counter-culture criticisms that seems to go against the crowd gets shut down by big tech and media. It is one of his techniques in his book Zero to One:
“What important truth do very few people agree with you on?”
https://fs.blog/2015/11/the-single-best-interview-question-y...

He might just be misunderstood: he is not making conclusions, but asking questions, posting hypotheses or conjectures for further investigation (the scientist method). He is checking against his own biases (investor in Facebook and Bitcoin)

Ex: His support for Trump happened to be a bad bet against the crowd, but he did not endorse him for a 2nd term (after seeing the data). Most Palantir attacks by the tech community are also baseless and political (covered by liberal media).

His suspicions are valid given past observations.
Who would blame him for distrusting marketing giants = brainwashing machines like Google, Apple, Facebook and by extension China? Do you see his logic? His law background might actually make him the best advocate for ethics, which big tech hides violations really well with marketing and PR.

Bitcoin may have been countercultural at the beginning, until is was not- right now it is being speculated more like a money making scheme than a promising technology. Thiel's comment might be right onto something, let's not discredit him this early. Remember, he was part of the Paypal mafia...
Social apps inherently need to be trendy and seem "hip" to catch on with the right crowd. Having limited resources, they chose to go with one platform at launch. I would bet that amongst their target taste-maker crowd (celebrities, YouTube personalities, etc.), iOS has higher market share when compared to the larger general smartphone market.
Of the four projects I listed, only Swarm and IPFS overlap in functionality.

Ethereum is a decentralized, consensus-driven data store and execution environment.

Whisper is a decentralized messaging protocol, which you'd use for data that doesn't require consensus. Consensus is expensive and relatively slow, but communication between parties doesn't require it.

Swarm and IPFS are content-addressable, decentralized file transfer systems. You'd use one of these to store the HTML, CSS and JavaScript that implement an application on top of the other decentralized systems. Or just to store arbitrary static files.

It's hard to shut down a system that lives on thousands of computers and can be accessed by typing the name of the site into a web browser. That's the experience that's motivating people to build these systems, and they're going to change the way the world works.
These universities are so pathetic.

They've taken every opportunity to make money regardless of safety, but at the same time are quick to lock students in their dorm rooms to "stop the spread".

Why exactly are students doing in dorm rooms in the first place? Because the administration decided "holy shit, we are gonna lose a lot of money unless we get these suckers on campus, paying full tuition".

Was there any point in the last year where living in a dormitory seemed like a safe or good idea? No fucking way.

But now the administrations says "holy shit, we have to do something about covid. I know! I bet if we locked all the suckers in their rooms, no one can say we didn't do anything!"

The dissonance is staggering.
Sorry, not sure what you mean by ‘T’ shaped skill set. Could you elaborate..
I didn’t appear so, at least from my interpretation.

As I read it, the comment implied Microsoft had something to do with cleaning it up and/or that work started post-acquisition. Neither of which reflects the reality.

Conflating the South East as a part of the South or East Asia because it has both names is as someone saying Texas is not West or Eastern US while being in the "middle" geographically.

South East Asia is markedly different to South or East Asia. It's a melting pot of both cultures + Melayu and other groups. South East Asians that descended from South Asia (Ex: Malaysian/Singaporean with Indian ancestry) mostly identifies as South East Asians. Same with people who have East Asian ancestry (Ex: mainly Chinese ancestry across SEA). The immigration happened hundreds or even thousands of years ago and some are very distinct groups and cultures from their origins due to time and separation.
Erlang isn't bleeding edge at all. In fact, it's a battle-hardened and conservatively evolving platform dating back to 1986, which is one of its selling points amongst all the technical benefits.
America needs capitalism, a system it embraced fleetingly in the ninteenth century. Capitalism requires a complete and total separation of state from economics, just as we have a separation of state from church. To get there, we need a moral revolution in which altruism is replaced by long-term rational self-interest as the moral ideal. Without this moral basis and justification, the traces of capitalism in our mixed economy will continue to be eroded, and innovative corporations such as present-day Apple will face ever-increasing pressure to given in to the politics of pull.
So you start with "Sure I was wrong", but then you head on to-

"iOS's implementation of resolution independence is the best and most standardized implementation that exists."

How do you know that? You don't even know that alternatives even exist, and here you're passing absolute judgment on them? Sorry, but you're woefully ill-equipped to make that statement.
A lot of my film buff friends claim that films with higher than 24 fps look a lot better. There's a kind of format called Maxivision that can be projected 48:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxivision
Not really. Actually I think the GP was mistaken. The big reason gamers don't want 24FPS is because if it's 24FPS during normal play, it's gonna stutter. There will be times when it goes down to, say, 12 FPS, if not lower. And 12 FPS is simply not good enough for anything.

And of course, there's one thing about employing sophisticated motion blur-- you're not going to do it just to lower FPS. Real motion blur is quite expensive. There's really no point except for the visual coolness.
Good, article, but let's be honest here. We all know this is the real list:

1. Reddit/HN/Digg/etc.

2. Facebook (move to #1 if you play Farmville or are female)

3. Steam/xbox/playstation/WOW/Dwarf Fortress

4. Checking Email

5. Watching videos/movies/tv

6. Doing something pointless on your phone

7. Etc. Choose your own time-waster
After about three 2 week sprints, my memory starts to rapidly decay about what I worked on or how I implemented something. It is a struggle for me, as my team is often called out by PMs about how certain functionality works under the hood and I have to retrace my steps.
No, because I directly interacted with those entities. That's different from Google Analytics, where an entity with which I directly interact informs a third party unbeknownst to me.
How hard could stdio/sockets on metal possibly be? So far bare metal has been a walk in the park. I love the fact that PML4T lets me do things like move memory without copying it. I want to be able to have that power without schlepping in the entire Linux world. I believe it should be possible for programs to be able to boot on metal as just programs which are tiny and auditable. Especially considering everything runs on hypervisors these days, which are in some respects the true operating system. Ring 0 is the new Ring 3. Who among you is willing to accept being pushed to the outer bounds of computing? If MINIX gets to run in Ring -3 then it should at least be easy for our programs to run in Ring0.
pretty weird, haven't seen a .html document not load in ages
No need to explain any different. The solution is to simply not track the user on websites, which they own, when the user uses incognito mode. That would be the honest way, but it will never happen, because then other browsers could try to pretend, that they are incognito Chrome.

So that leaves us with "do not trust privacy protection of an ad company".
Stop. Just stop.

First off, brand ranges are rated at 100% capacity and many brands suggest to not charge to 100% most of the time if ever. Then throw in weather effects on range and this does not just mean winter but driving in rain can increase usage.

However the top two reasons to push 300 more as the baseline is simply convenience. The convenience of not having to worry about your charge or need to charge frequently. That removes the negative comparisons many try to make showing that BEVs are not ready for prime time. Once technology catches up and you can fix that range in ten minutes; not going to happen; then a lower range might be okay.

Second and more importantly the big automakers want you to buy into that idea so they can eek out small range improvements as a selling feature to get you into next year's car. Similar to how many of them still have heart failure of OTA in the definition Tesla uses it.

Now can there be a type of car where ranges are aimed at commuting only? Sure, but as a whole replacement vehicles for ICE vehicles should out perform on all numbers.

Don't let them sell you into an infinite cycle of range increases because they will. 250 is entry level now and 300 should be the minimum for any semi luxury and higher priced EV.

Hell look at the recently released Mini if you want an idea of where the industry hoped to be at but Tesla shot that idea full of holes and doubly so when the Bolt came along and now VW ID.* series.
That kind of already happens in a roundabout way.

Currently you get a 20 year patent. The clock starts ticking right away. It usually take 6-10 years to get a drug approved by the FDA, leaving 10-14 years of patent protection.

If the FDA takes an extraordinary amount of time to approve your drug, you can get a patent extension to compensate.

It'll be tough for Dropbox. I imagine the #1 thing they have going for them is a strong consumer-facing brand and a bunch of existing customers (who are likely still telling their friends to download Dropbox, though who knows how fast). I also suspect they're working on a full office suite - they acquired Mailbox and Hackpad more recently.

Amazon doesn't have much strength as a consumer-facing tech brand, afaict. As a developer, I trust S3. But as a consumer, do I trust Amazon's software to be usable or reliable? I'm not so sure.

Still, long-term, I find it hard to see things panning out for good ol DBX without something big coming out soon...
Right, because that signal would never get hacked.
Or we can not do all that.
There is no way Dropbox is paying stock S3 pricing.
There's always the System76.com laptops and desktops. If I could get away with just Linux, I would get one of those in a minute.
>They are. They're buying 50/5 or 50/10 internet and then asking their ISP to (horror of horrors!) make good on their claim. If the ISP isn't DRAMATICALLY overselling their capacity, things are totally fine.

The question is whether all consumers' prices should go up, or Netflix prices should go up. In the first case, consumers are subsidising netflix for those that use it.

>Level3 offered to pay for the direct cost of the upgrades, namely a few grand for the fiber transceivers on Comcast's side of the peering point in the carrier hotel. That would mean it's a "free" upgrade, and no end-users are paying for it. But Comcast didn't bite.

This is meaningless. As I said elsewhere, they are not complaining about the cost of the upgrade. They're complaining about the cost of taking the extra data. That cost is what would either be passed on to users, or to Netflix. Talking about the direct cost is missing the point.
To be fair, it's not the same as an argument type. The type of `foo()` isn't int, it's function. You're not specifying the type of the thing itself, merely the type of what it returns. Though this seems to have been lost on the creators of C. ;)
Re: Julia

What about library integration?
> I cannot tell the difference, even on quality studio headphones, between a v0 MP3, an iTunes 256kbps AAC, and a FLAC file

What type of music are you listening to? Certain instruments are handled very poorly by LAME. A v0 MP3 is going to be pretty bad on cymbals, woodwind instruments, and harpsichords, for example.

AAC is far better about this, and I've never been able to blind ABX a 320kbps AAC against a FLAC successfully, even using a headphone setup worth over 2k. I can blind ABX 320kbps mp3s vs flac 100% of the time on those underperforming instruments, and a good portion of the time on music in general - assuming I have listened to the FLAC version of the song extensively.

That being said even on expensive mobile setups I have a hard time even on the 'bad' mp3s. Granted, my mobile setup is a fiio x5 and midrange CIEMs, so it's not nearly as nice as what I have at home. But on the go is where I'm space constrained - I see no reason to keep FLAC files on a portable player. An MP3 or AAC file should be all you need on the go.

But, there is a MAJOR problem with MP3s, particularly in today's mastering climate - converting from WAC/FLAC to MP3 usually adds .5DB to the audio. With the 'Loudness War', there is a significant amount of audio that is mastered to -0.1, and this conversion will push the audio to 0.0, resulting in clipping.

As for vinyl, the difference in sound very well might be the loudness war. A portion of vinyl releases use the same mastering as the CDs, but a lot get a special "vinyl master" where they haven't squashed the dynamic range. Part of this is due to physical limitations of the format - you can compress all of the audio to have the same dynamic range like they do in the loudness war, but this compression is a casualty on CDs - they just want it to be louder. On vinyl, because of the way it works, if you want all of the DR crushed, the average loudness has to actually go down, which defeats the purpose. If you're comparing against a vinyl master with non-compressed dynamic range vs something that came from a cd loudness war casualty, you're getting a very different audio experience. I'd say it's better, and as such have spent a significant amount of money on vinyl, despite it being an inferior format on a purely technical level.

All that being said, with storage space being so cheap, I choose to keep FLACs of all of the CDs I rip, because it isn't expensive for me to do so, and I don't have to worry about losing information whenever some new compressed format comes out. I keep AACs and MP3s on my DAP, and this way I won't have to re-rip everything when some new format comes out. It's inexpensive to keep archival quality audio around, so why not do it?
