Meta but what's with this recent trend of taking quotes from two-paragraphs-ago and inserting them into the middle of the text in a big font? How is that useful to me as a reader? I already read that part... is it for the benefit of people scrolling through quickly?
My impression in recent years is that the middle class has real value in almost any society we had until now. They are the glue that brings stability to any organization, they are what keeps to energetic lower layer people from gaining power from crazy ideas, and they are the first to get blamed when a crazy idea from the top management layer fails. Do you see differences between that statement and your experience?

And the real question I want to ask: Do you feel that especially the middlest of managers have to fear AI the most, because AI could theoretically replace exactly that middle layer and do it even better than a human could?
Buy tundra. Buy up tons of land anywhere that’s currently too cold to be useful.
Hmm.. that seems like a journalistic article that one would have to pay $41.95 for to read it?

I would be more interested in a study. With clearly outlined methology.
Psilocybin doesn't stay in your body for years. The impact to you was likely due to the experience while tripping on psilocybin.
Very interesting, I did not know selling the batteries was part of the plan. Are the trying to remain independent though or would they be a very large acquisition target long term then? I suppose they could license out large format battery tech to a number of other industries as well?
Yes, Germany has very expensive energy because of their transition away from reliable energy sources onto renewables.
Cool experiment. But I don't recommend getting into Ethereum mining now, as the network is on the verge of switching to Proof of Stake as part of the migration to Ethereum 2.0.
I thought the main strengths distinguishing the performance of the M1 were the idle power chips that saved a lot of energy, and the shared CPU/GPU memory. Am I remembering that right?

Do either of those things equal better intensive mining efficiency, much over a dedicated traditional rig, where you're flat out all the time and emphasizing GPU?
> can't search by hex, which is another basic functionality

As the manpage mentions in the “Searching” section, you can search for byte values by preceding them with backslashes.
Not really, in information technology megabyte often is calculated via (convenient) binary multiples, as has been for many decades.

As often in life there is not a single truth.
That is what I was thinking. Hard to get the benefit of the doubt here sometimes. I actually do mostly leave a big space in front of me. But it is frustrating when that invites crazy behavior.
The story is fire fox is a Chinese name for a red panda. But the logo always had a red fox.
> Yeah because driving a 50 square mile city is the same thing as driving on unrestricted roadways in dozens of countries around the world with totally different road markings, traffic patterns, rules, and even directions of travel…

Except it doesn’t work in the unrestricted conditions you mentioned. It’s going to take years or even decades to make it work everywhere, if it all it works. You don’t get points just having a grander vision.

Meanwhile, they keep moving the goalpost on when FSD will actually arrive. They’ve been working on it for years and yet they’re nowhere near confident enough not to require hands on the wheel. That tells me everything.

Anyway, this is an argument that’s going nowhere since you seem to undermine by saying Waymo is solving a “toy problem”. So let’s agree to disagree which one is more impressive.
How do you know that the mining application is using the M1 GPU and not the M1 CPU?
I work in the tourism industry and I try to stay up to date with other countries practices. What is your country ?
But then it's coming at the expense of some other investor (unless I'm misunderstanding.) No value is created. This might work if the amount being invested is small, but not as it grows larger.
My point was the subtle difference between automated data clean at end of browsing session and the reported manual action. Nothing else.
> I have found some strong criticism of his basic understanding of economics.

Does anyone know what proponents of stock buybacks would say in response to his arguments? Given the downsides, why is it appropriate/fair/legitimate?
I thought IG blocked apps using Insta or Gram in the user name?
This is like asking me if I've considered going to a department store instead of using Amazon. Yes, I'm aware of that thing called a library. But I want the books to come to me and I want a wider selection than my local library might carry.
I fully agree with your last point. It seems absurd that the seemingly default answer to sourcing talent is to look out to different countries. Local talent exists across the entire US, it just isn't pursued. As to why that is? Perhaps some employers enjoy the lower rates (though for top talent is argue they pay MORE), some perhaps enjoy the quasi power they have over the immigrant. Or possibly, they are convinced all the technical folk would have already flocked to those major tech hubs (I will admit, it's quite a force to recon with), so there isn't much left outside the valley/city/etc.
I honestly have no idea
I want the books to come to me.
About time, and it's a pity that we Europeans could not do this on our own but needed US capital.

Pff, Gab's got nothing on freespeechextremist.com
While I really like the idea of serving raw HTML and CSS, I think that on the authoring side, a static site generator that ingests Markdown and generates HTML is a more practical way to go.

I think writing raw HTML can work fine for small pages, and arguably it can be better than Markdown for pages with a lot of design elements, like landing pages. But for the typical blog post, or especially if the blog post has code snippets that you want to have syntax-highlighted, a static site generator is way easier to work with.

With the pace of change, I do worry a bit about the longevity of some of today's static site generators, but the Markdown itself is pretty darn portable.
I wonder if there's really a difference between the wealth of these ultra-rich people, besides a different number.

I.e. is there anything someone with 200B can do that someone with "only" 50B can't?

Putin and the Saudi king are probably in a different category as they don't "just" have ultra-wealth, but also political power (as heads of countries), military at their disposal, etc.

But, say, between Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffet, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, et al? (I know they don't have all their wealth in cash, which might change things a bit. But still)

Perhaps my imagination is lacking?

Edit: Also, I wonder how long before the ultra-rich start spending in truly extravagant projects, besides just bigger boats. I would imagine that by now someone besides Elon would be designing/building their own personal space station or something like that..
Probably not. Knowing the speed-of-light round trip time to a network location gives you a bound on how much you can improve the performance of remote operations.

For example, I'm in Austin, querying a database hosted in Amazon's us-east-1 data center ("Northern Virginia"). Call it 1000 miles away, 2000 mile round trip.

You have: 2000 miles
You want: millilightseconds
2000 miles = 10.736388 millilightseconds

If I have a query that's taking < 1ms, no optimization of how that query is executed by the database can possibly improve the overall performance.
American free speech is way more broad than European free speech, they’re different legally. You could have a similar argument between American freedom of religion and French “freedom from religion”. Not an apples to apples comparison.
It would be helpful if, instead of just throwing out names, you also provided links. "Line" and "imo" are rather difficult to search for, and since you already know (of) them I'd assume you can provide links.

It would also be helpful if you could provide brief reasons as to why one would choose one of those as opposed to, say, Signal or blabber/XMPP, for example.

Thanks.
Yeah, I should have clarified that other effective means of dispersal/incapacitation are also acceptable. However, I believe Draco of Athens was right about this in particular, so I don't personally think there's a difference.
Christopher Hitchens (a Brit, can we still call them European?) would disagree with you. If you have a few minutes, check the beginning of this talk [1] about free speech. He treats the exact "fire" example at the very start of the talk :-)

Two points regarding the pricing table: Firstly it mixes
different spellings("up to" and "upto"). And then there are the
bullet points with strikethrough text that I just can't
understand. Why do both variants have "unlimited spaces" crossed
out? Why is "no unlimited guests allowed" crossed out, which in
my head implies that unlimited guests are allowed.
You need at the very least, a mechanism to exchange ice candidates, data on which ip/port/protocol are available on each peer.

So if u had a web server on that lan, yes. Otherwise u need a mechanism like QR codes or sneaker net a floppy disk with the details to the other peers.
As far as I understand, to track users, website use : IP, Cookie/LocalStorage, Fingerprinting.

I wonder if youtube-dl really helps ? It doesn't change the IP, you can refuse/clear cookies in your browser, and for fingerprinting, isn't scraping via youtube-dl make you even more unique among other regular browser users ?
From a customer's perspective it's not my problem. Everyone had the opportunity to bid on that fab capacity and they decided not to.
Presumably the feature that is being discontinued is for authorising payments that aren't actually taken until later in the future. I could certainly imagine this has a disproportionately high support cost.
Sometimes, you just don't need that many new people. This is one of the things that happened with Hungry Academy and Living Social back in the day. A sudden influx of 24 new people doesn't mean you're immediately ready as an organization to pick up 24 more, even if they are good entry-level engineers.
You are probably correct: the piston on the actuator is moving differently than it's supposed to and/or rough at maintaining position. Probably a hydraulic valve is set wrong or broken to cause that. Could also be a leak, I suppose. There could also be servomotor/encoder problems, but that's less likely.

That actuator is attached to the upper-stage engine, and moves it in one of its axes to steer the rocket via changing (slightly) the direction of the thrust. If it is unable to steer as commanded, or (worse) goes in a different direction than commanded, the rocket stage will have a bad day. It could hit the wrong trajectory, or it could spin out of control. A first stage could be destroyed by turning too hard, but probably not a second.

They appear to use them in opposing pairs, so probably the other one would be able to fight any problems with its partner. But you want everything to work as well as it can on rockets. Probably they'll swap the part and try for the next window.
The rocket ride is shorter.

To the Tanzanians, all Americans are white, regardless of pigmentation. According to the article.
As a side note, it seems like Vim will get a little better soon in terms of its barrier to modifying it and creating plugins. Someone has started a credible project to create a fork, Neovim, which will be easier to modify and extend: https://www.bountysource.com/fundraisers/539-neovim-first-it....

Awesomeness.
Yes, fraud is likely, no one is disputing that. Fraud != Ponzi scheme.
You have to keep in mind that city limits are rather arbitrary, and San Francisco is unusual in drawing them very tightly, excluding SFO and excluding low-density commercial areas along the bay. Meanwhile, Chicago's boundaries include both O'Hare and Midway, and stretch south through industrial areas all the way to Indiana. But the the cheap land in Pullman doesn't affect the price of land in the Loop any more than the cheap land in San Bruno affects the price of land in SOMA, city limits not withstanding.[1] Those properties aren't fungible from the perspective of potential buyers.

The part of Chicago north of 95th street (the southern boundary of the 'El' system) and outside the airports has 2.5 million people (93% the population) at a density of ~16,500 per square mile, comparable to San Francisco. Yes, it's somewhat arbitrary to exclude part of the city in calculating density, but no less arbitrary than where San Francisco's southern boundary is drawn, ten miles short of its airport.

[1] This isn't to say that those areas "aren't part of Chicago" culturally and in other ways, just that the availability of land in those areas shouldn't have much impact on housing prices in the rest of the city.
Fresh hardware? Are you kidding? If you make a decent salary you can buy your own hardware whenever you feel like it. A $2K MacBook Pro is a drop in the bucket compared to paying a 6 digit salary.
In my admitted limited experience (I've worked with and hired PMs but never been one myself) typical questions can include:

1. Describe a project you have managed that went wrong and how you fixed it.
2. What process do you use to ensure a project is on track? How do you monitor it?
3. Employee A is behind schedule and Employee B can't move forward with their work until Employee A is done so they are falling behind. What is the best approach to get the project back on track?

And the like.

As you mention, it's very likely they will ask you some subject matter questions about managing IT projects. If they do ask you to write code I would be highly concerned since it would signal to me that they really have not defined the role of "project manager" very well.

Good luck!
That's not true. It makes perfectly reasonable sense to add two RGB numbers, but you have to translate them into a linear space first (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_correction). Indeed, our whole scientific framework for understanding color is based on the ability to meaningfully add such numbers. Look up “Grassman’s Law”. (The wikipedia article is kind of spare, unfortunately.)
More like 17 cents; according to Wikipedia one sen is 1/100 of a ringgit, which is about 1/3rd of a US dollar.
Try for something like Google's 20% time? You work for four days a week on what they say, then work the other day on whatever you want. Or three and two. It works out well for everyone if they want you to do interesting things, and if they don't you still get to do what you think is most important or fun some of the time.
As far as I can tell, this story is suffering severely from the telephone effect.

Some points:

1) As I understand it, Dropbox didn't remove the file, they removed public access to it. The file was still in the account, on attached computers, etc.

2) There was no DMCA takedown notice, there was an accidental notification sent to a user saying "we've received a takedown notice and acted on it". Dropbox didn't actually send anyone a formal takedown notice.
Seems like a promising idea, and I have no absolutely intention of knocking it.

But ... you have to admit that it's a wide-open target for parody: picture the earnest young Rails beginner calling (from Chennai, of course) and getting DHH. From there it slides into some kind of ChatRoulette nightmare involving DHH, _why, Zed ("fuck this shit! Just use Python"), a werewolf, ...
More like after 1 week, I would say, but yes.
The article misrepresents itself. "Said SETI Director Jill Tarter, 'that a time when we discover so many planets to look at, we don't have the operating funds to listen.'"

It's a pretty naked sympathy appeal for money. "Honestly, if everybody contributed just 3 extra cents on their 1040 tax forms", etc.

Anyone around here familiar with the "Iron Law of Bureaucracy" coined by Jerry Pournelle? For every sufficiently large organization, self-preservation and expansion inevitably crowd out the organization's ostensible purpose. SETI's primary purpose is not to find extraterrestrial intelligence. SETI's primary purpose is to ensure the continued existence of and wages paid to SETI. Actually finding the aliens is a secondary goal.

(I am not ragging on SETI in particular here, that happens for every bureaucracy. The primary purpose of NASA is to get NASA and its contractors hired and paid, not to explore space. The primary purpose of TSA is to get TSA workers hired and paid, not to secure airways. The primary purpose of unions in education is to get themselves hired and paid, not to educate. These organizations do accomplish their stated goals to some and varying degrees of success, but never at any cost of imperiling their own demesne.)
Thanks. As a Toronto born kid.. it was my #1 choice but we settled on NYC
From what I can tell, they were counting incidence, and relating it to the rate of cell division of that particular tissue. This strong correlation allowed them to rule out outside influence (not just lifestyle, also genetics and other environmental factors) as being statistically significant to the incidence of those cancers. Only a couple cancers (the article specifically notes lung cancer and certain skin cancers), had statistically significant deviations from what the rate of division would suggest.

The chart at the top is a bit disingenuous - you can't really say that those cancers are "caused" by outside influences, but it does indicate that they actually play a role in a statistically significant number of cases, as opposed to the other cancers, which are due largely to random chance (if the study's results are correct). There are probably still a large number of lung cancer cases, for example, caused by bad luck.

Regardless of the conclusions regarding the environmentally influenced cancers, the impact on our understanding of other cancers, which include very common and deadly ones such as pancreatic and colon cancer, is still immense and important.

Product Owner Positions would be ideal. They have the least amount of deep work, and the most amount of decision making/meeting work, which you can zone out of.
I played around with it a bit over the weekend. You can call it native, but at the same time, it's not completely native. For example, there is no UITableView support. That's one of the most common ways to present data. Hell, one of the first things I tried to do. (There is a bug report. They tried to support it but the code was ugly and didn't really play well with react-native so it was dropped).

You can create a ListView and the performance (and feel) are great, but it's not a UITableView. You can draw a chevron and make it kind of look like a UITableView but if you have to manually re-create the native UI, it's not really native anymore, is it?

It certainly is slick to get instantaneous feedback when you edit your javascript file, though.
You can test every digit and symbol in 2 guesses. Once you’ve done that it normally takes another 1 or 2 guesses to get the answer.
There wasn't a big NFT market until very recently.
You should give hard mode a try. That makes it a lot less repetitive and more fun.

We can enable that functionality quite easily. Will consider further. Thanks for the feedback!!
getting rails up and running was for me the big dealbreaker when i first looked at it 5+ years ago. this is an excellent idea by gregg and the gang at envylabs though
Correct. herokugarden.com redircts to heroku.com now.
>It looks to me like nobody prefers that and it's being forced onto us.

How is it being forced on you? Nobody forces you to use Apple products. Or Google services. Or FB/Insta. etc
Wow this is very cool, definitely one to watch out for. Thanks for the heads up
Has anyone considered that growing up too slow may also be a problem? PG wrote about the existential pain of spending 4 years of suburban high school doing essentially fake things all the time.

Web 2.0 can't be synonymous with DHTML, the buzzwords are temporally separated by about ten years. DHMTL was what Netscape called its <layer> tag, before it got blown out of the water by IE 4's radically superior .innerHTML. (And I use "radically" carefully; it rewrote the web as we thought we knew it.)
I think more interesting than this article are the self-enumerating pangrams described in the one linked to it.
East Afghanistan Trading Company. Est 2010.

I've played around with a few different services, but the things I use them for aren't very resource intensive. I use dreamhost shared hosting for my personal site and a few static sites I own. For my web apps, I use a small linode account. And for setting up test environments for clients, I just use Heroku since it's so darn easy for my rails apps.

It pretty much just comes down to personal preference and what you really want to do with the service. Just one suggestion though... Stay away from Godaddy's hosting. I had to setup a site for a client using their service, and it freakin' blows.

Good luck in your search!
