The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent agency of the United States government created by statute (47 U.S.C. § 151 and 47 U.S.C. § 154) to regulate interstate communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. The FCC works towards six goals in the areas of broadband, competition, the spectrum, the media, public safety and homeland security, and modernizing itself. [0]

Lots of that communication moves through electromagnetic radiation which practically anyone anywhere can use/interfere with. This is a textbook case of a common good which if unmanaged would be effectively destroyed due to the tragedy of the commons [1].

Always wondered what facebook leadership told themselves so they could sleep at night. Now i know. Connection at all costs. Didn't matter if you destroyed their privacy, violated their trust, got them hooked, manipulated their emotions, allowed fraud, clickbait, and misinformation to take over. They'll be happier when connected.

The ones who think theyre building a utopia are always the ones who build the dystopia. They're the best at delluding themselves.

I'd almost feel better if the memo cynically admitted the mission was just to sell ads.

Facebook employees: why are you still there? Do you buy into this?
The C# ecosystem might be less than ideal for you to spend your time learning. Start thinking about how certain programming languages might correlate with certain types of industries. You're going to want to target companies that are less likely to bother checking in to your background, and if they do, are less likely to care. Think more along the lines of hipster startup development and less along the lines of conservative enterprise development. This might mean focusing your efforts on learning the Javascript of Python ecosystems instead.
We stopped selling after our last run of USBs & for the reasons outlined above.
They’re going to take on California. If they can pack the Federal bench with enough conservative judges, they just might win.
I was under the impression that Apple's price would depend on their agreement with Netflix, and would reflect some amount Netflix thought was reasonable. If this were the case, maybe Netflix is trying to drive users towards them? Why would Apple agree though? Because they could possibly profit highly?
That's very cool! Although wouldn't the UV filter coating on commercial lenses be counter productive? Assuming they are capturing this stuff full (IR to UV) spectrum...
That's the crazy part, he didn't have his distances wrong. Part of the constellation is planned for an orbit of 340 km which is ~211 miles so close enough. The satellites are only intended to have an operational lifespan of 5 to 7 years. That's not a typo, that also means that given the massive size of the constellation that SpaceX will need to average one launch a month for StarLink with 105 satellites on it. If one of the lower orbit satellites goes dead, without actively maintaining the orbit it'll decay fast enough that it'll passively deorbit itself without risk of it just becoming a derelict satellite for centuries.

When I worked at Apple, it was fun to walk in some buildings and notice the California 'cancer warning' sign posted in the lobby. From that, you knew there was probably a hardware engineering lab somewhere in that building, because I believe they had to post those due to carcinogens released from soldering. (And, inside of Apple, that kind of knowledge would only be shared on a need-to-know basis, otherwise.)
I always thought it was funny seeing this in California. Coffee? Getting a bit surreal.

I was visiting once and saw a plaque on a (condo?) building with the warning.
I think server side Kotlin will steal all the thunder from Swift. It's very similar in style, but JVM stack makes it more versatile, IntelliJ tooling is leaps ahead, and the language seems to a bit more smarter designed overall.

I've seen a magnetic tack hammer with a varnished wooden handle that had one of those stickers on it here in the UK. Was wondering if it was in case you chewed the varnish.

Perhaps someone should just put a label on the roadsigns as you enter the State of California saying, "May contain nuts".
So will this be the case for ESTA visas too?
It’s not “you’re going to die now” harder.

More like “this isn’t comfortable, better pull over and see what’s wrong” harder.
You're not choosing to make a trade, you're choosing to cancel a trade. Both are things the FCC has said it will not charge anyone other as long as congress does not change the rules.

Sorry to say but you're looking for a way to defend an indefensible system.

If you want to see it in action look at what the Intel CEO did.
How does charging someone require "guilty beyond all reasonable doubt"? Sounds like a conflation between charging with a crime and convicting someone.

Aware he said "convict" but he probably meant "charge".
CARB standards were always more strict. If that standard is now applied nationally, it happened recently. So going back to different requirements for states that follow CARB vs. states that don't would just be going back to the status quo of a few years ago.

Actually it isn't. It does not talk about a lot of important details/questions one might wonder before downloading the app, like:

- "how does this app do it"
- "how is this app any different than macOS's Do Not Disturb feature"
- "where's the source code for this app, why would I trust this software with full access to my compute (it requires that)"

Konrad Zuse – Gorld's first programmable computer, Germany 1941
Your first paragraph is so spot on IMO, that it frightens me.

We, as free thinking, reasonable people are continuously drawn into hyper-polarized debates, particularly on social media: There is no nuance (as you said), only pro vs anti (as you said II). It also seems fairly systematic, and that we are clearly being kept busy with these "debates" while we are flanked and maneuvered on.

Abuse of interstate commerce clause has led to this abominable overreach of the federal government where states can’t self-rule in terms of setting more strict laws. As long as the fourteenth is followed, the fed government can gtfo.
I specifically said high bandwidth since the latency is obviously better with leo. I don't know what you are implying by much cheaper launches. They need many, many more launches to hit the same capacity/coverage as a geo satellite. One launch may be cheaper, but SpaceX will need dozens.

Yes exactly. Laws which de jure make everyone a criminal simply give the government an excuse to de facto imprison or expel whomever they want, and should be avoided at all costs
Well this is the crux of it isn't it? Is the automation about right but is taking a bit more of a learning curve? Or is the automation to ambitious and much of it will have to be rolled back. The next two or three months should see the proof of the pudding. Lay you bets now.
You can still fuck up the connector on the motherboard, and consequently, the CPU. I'm speaking from experience: I had to replace a motherboard and a CPU. I still have the useless i7-870 as a sort of trophy of my ignorance of those pin-less CPUs (it was my first). Edit: actually, I remember now that the initial motherboard had a manufacturing problem on its socket, but as that was my first, I didn't know, and that led me to try and fail blatantly, killing both the motherboard and the CPU ; I only realized when seeing the new motherboard with a non-busted socket.
Those are all very dangerous if not taken in moderation, and many people are unaware of just how dangerous they are.

Here's a solid technical / user-experience reason to prefer PWAs: people can fork them and install them on their devices without needing a Mac and a developer account. That is, if you want your app to meaningfully be free software and have all the associated technical benefits, or if you want the option for someone who's better than UX to do it to fork it with low friction, PWAs are significantly better.
As a felon myself, I have never had anything good come out of early disclosure. I think your best bet would be to target jobs in areas that have "banned the box" for private employers (I believe Chicago is one of these cities). If you receive a conditional offer of employment, they will most likely run a background check at that point. Some lower quality background checking services can provide surprisingly incomplete results. More than likely though, it will return your conviction history. Once you get that call from the HR representative questioning the conviction, simply state that you didn't feel it was relevant to the position being applied for. Refer them to the EEOC guidelines on hiring people with felony convictions (especially the part about individualized assessments). These guidelines are merely a suggestion, but it might be enough to sway the mind of someone in the company who has that discretion.
When Erlang befriend Python
Something one of my history teachers used to go on about. I’m not sure I can do him justice now that I’m thinking about it. Big military upsets due to superior intel. Sometimes by new means. I’m wondering now if he was paraphrasing Napoleon (the secret of war lies in the communications).

Roman roads, pigeons, semaphore, radio, all used to project military power in profound and overwhelming ways. Radar, sonar (if you’re willing to stretch the definition a little). CDMA (invented by Hedy Lamarr during WWII for torpedos, but not used until the Cuban missile crisis). Cryptanalysis to defeat the Germans. ARPAnet was built to be literally bomb proof.
It’s like it’s Nov7th up in here.
I was weirded out by the Donnie quotes. He'd been gone a year when the article was published but the way they were presented you'd think they were freshly sourced.

He was a great guy and brilliant co-worker. Sorely missed.
An acquaintance once told me she had accidentally inhaled a sewing needle as a child. She had loaded it into a straw and was planning to blowgun it at her little brother. But she made the horrible mistake of deeply inhaling after the straw was in her mouth thereby inhaling the needle.

IIRC the doctor advised her to eat cotton. She eventually passed the needle in a wad of cotton. Personally I am skeptical of this story. Does anyone feel that this approach might work when a bristle from a BBQ brush is not recoverable by surgery ?
No aggression perceived.

The best client example is Groove (https://www.groovehq.com/). In 2014 they hired us to take the existing site (https://web.archive.org/web/20141223145657/https://www.groov...) and make it attractive to serious customers who can "trust" their company based on the site. Went from 1M ARR to 5M in 18 months.

A more concrete personal example is when we ranked "HTML Color Codes" with essentially zero feature improvements beyond nice UI/UX.

Intriguing. Been too busy cranking on a new product to stay up on the latest changes so thanks for the pointer. I have lots of reading to do.

And thanks for listening about my use case. One concern about using a static function for getDerivedStateFromProps() is that it will not allow for taking instance variables into account. Have not thought through how that might come into play but components certainly allow for this, though many may feel it a strange idea. Perhaps a reference to the component could be passed as well as an additional argument.

I look forward to coming up for air and catching up with the improved approach. Things continue to move quickly and I continue to be impressed at how the changes bring improvement to the ecosystem.

> > I wish I could specify other specific priorities

> I tend to think that's overkill :)

Yeah, I think you're right. It's like that old Knuth quote. Programmers waste enormous amounts of time worrying about the speed of noncritical parts of programs.

> I use benchmark results from professional publications instead.

Yeah, I generally do that too, I just thought userbenchmarks would be easier to API and be more comprehensive.

Though thinking about it now, I'm not sure why I distrust UB so much. In a sense I'm just choosing different biases. Even if I find a reliable reviewer that personally buys each part at a retailer to avoid "reviewer binning," the best case, I still risk a sampling error due to the small numbers (typically n = 1) tested. The bell curves on two different CPUs might overlap considerably. So buying a marginally better rated processor might only give you better performance in 51% of purchases.

No professional reviewer could afford the cost or time to individually buy and test a statistically significant number of devices to determine its variance in operation.

On the other hand, the errors in judgment that might creep in from variance due to small samples are almost certainly washed out completely by the leaps between generations, right? So trustworthy reviewers are probably "good enough" and worrying about that issue is another form of unnecessary optimization, as much overkill as my first idea.

I'm open to that possibility.

Though we might go further down this line... Maybe the performance exaggerations due to conformance to published benchmarks aren't much of an issue either. As long as we're talking about ranking cards for real world usage, the odds that a card will perform noticeably better at benchmarks but noticeably worse at tasks I care about is... Well it's nonzero, but small. Smaller still if we upgrade our threshold from "noticeably" to "significantly" or "substantially."

I mean, it's your own call where you pull your data from because no data is perfect, and we probably pull from the same places. But you really got me running thinking everything is needless optimization and now I can't stop. :)
It's not only the government, the media is very much a contributing factor too. One small terrorist attack yields multiple days of coverage and exposure. Terrorism is given an extremely outsized portion of coverage on the news and as a result people think it's a much bigger problem than it actually is. But it's an extremely convenient cover for taking away people's rights and spending even more money on the military.

I've posted this before in another thread, but after 2001, less Americans have been killed by terrorists per year than have been killed by lightning. And yet think of all the money and attention that have been devoted to something more dangerous than slipping in the bathtub, and the rights "we" willingly gave up for that. It makes 0 sense
I don't get it. Emission regulations are market friendly. All competitors play on a level playing field. Less emissions improve quality of life enormously. To me rolling back environmental rules is plain evil and extremely shortsighted.

"Make America dirty again"?
I always find it odd that people are surprised when modern manufacturing can yield better results on a given metric (e.g. sound quality).

Are there any real counter examples, where old techniques haven't been met or surpassed?
With a lower standard for guilt, a greater number of innocent people will be fined by our government, for which we are ultimately responsible.

You don't get it, you don't have to pepper the code. If you already have a `Circle` the check is unneeded. If you have done the check the type is constrained. You do exactly as much or less checks as you would do pattern matches on sealed traits in Scala, except that it works as you except in all instances, not just with sealed traits.

GP means to say that git can cover most use cases via Merkle operations/properties. What Merkle does is give a trustless distributed ledger. Mining/PoW allow fully trustless+anonymous while other methods are trustless in the sense you can create rules and identites leveraging signatures atop the Merkle in various ways and audit changes before voting, eg. PKI in my experience.

By the way, do they understand people change? Immature minds are prone to idealize all kinds of bullshit (incl. marxism and eugenics), daemonize whoever and whatever does not fit in their view (usually extremely narrow to the moment) and shout about this aloud but they grow older, expand their understanding and change their views.

The Vive Pro is coming out quite soon with ~70% increased resolution over the original Vive/Oculus. Then there's the two Pimax iterations coming later which have even more.

Haven't heard anything specifically about the Hololens or Oculus, but there are a good number of Hololens-derived headsets (ie using the same inside-out tracking tech) in the wild under the Windows Mixed Reality marque, eg the Samsung Odyssey. The Odyssey has the same resolution as the upcoming Vive Pro (1440 x 1600 per eye).
True but the ESTA application has been asking for social media accounts for some time already. I was definitely surprised to see them explicitly asking me for my github account.

Why can't it be a legitimate concern, where they want to maximize the amount of development time before their competitors get their hands on them and start reverse engineering? This isn't a lightly modified PC meant to run games, this is whole new tech that could spawn a potentially huge new market if it turns out to be good. There's a lot at stake.

If you can cut things down to something reasonably self-contained, https://godbolt.org/ is incredibly useful. For example, I was curious about the approximate inverse square root instruction, so I wrote some code: https://godbolt.org/g/qdfSj4

It's a lot easier to read that than the raw output from gcc. The highlighting between matching segments is nice, and the right-click menu has all sorts of goodies, like scrolling everything to the same place or showing the manual entry for some instruction. Plus, it's super easy to see the effect of switching flags or compilers.

Though to your point, apparently godbolt v0.0.1 was basically just:

watch "g++ /tmp/test.cc -O2 -c -S -o - -masm=intel | c++filit | grep -vE '\s+\.'"
