> Where will the hubs be located?

In the US, all major metropolitan areas have a network of trucker fuel/food/shopping stops positioned at the major truck routes around the metros. The big players are Pilot Flying J and Love's. There might be a play by Berkshire Hathaway to leverage the network of these truck stops into trucking automation hubs, as they intend to purchase 80% of Pilot Flying J by 2023.

If we catch news of Pilot Flying J upgrading some of their Net connections far beyond what would normally be needed (say into 10 gigabit ranges and up), and correspondingly investing in Cisco-level WiFi gear (their WiFi is notoriously awful among truckers), that might be a sign of laying in the networking groundwork of a data-intensive hub where they charge the trucking companies for high-speed real-time truck updates at the hub, for example.

If we catch news of Pilot Flying J buying a fleet of near Level 5 self-driving cars, then that might be another sign. Reefer trucks sometimes take about 4-6 hours to unload, vans almost as long. If carrying produce it can be 6-12 hours to load. If you switch to a metro-based hub system, then your drivers show up at the hub, and any load longer than the time it takes to drive to the hub, get another load assigned, and get another driver dispatched to the drop/load point, sees the truck arrive with a self-driving car behind it in "little duckling mode", tailing the truck, reducing the problem space for the self-driving programs. Driver positions the trailer, gets in car, goes back to hub for next load.

That change converts nearly every load into drop/hooks. This increases profitability by stripping out a ton of dead wait time. Driver wages and quality of life, and corporate profits, can go up in tandem while rates go down for customers. Customers won't be pressured to rush through the load/unload cycle (it can be priced lower than if a trucker is waiting), and trucking companies will have a huge, immediate profit incentive to pressure customers to pay for any trucker time required for helping load/unload contents, and truckers can partake in paid assistance for loading/unloading.

An efficient Uber-style dispatch system would be required, because there are options to route drivers in a "duckling car" to go directly to another load in the metro, then drive the load back to the hub, for example; I see a lot of optimization scenarios, all dramatically driving up trucker utilization. Whoever is working on automated long-haul trucking also needs to work on automated drop/hooking at the hubs, so automated rigs can drop off and pick up trailers without human assistance, saving even more time.
Again, this is not a hard problem once you shake the poor framing you’re stuck in. It’s not a question of legality because this isn’t the government preventing them from speaking and it doesn’t involve a legally protected class. It’s also not a question of some CEO preventing someone else from speaking. The only thing going on is a CEO saying they won’t help promote that speech, which is a basic right.
It’s because args to syscalls are passed in registers rather than the stack. This is a security mechanism I believe, but I’m mostly guessing based on xv6.

Basically, if you want a kernel space and a user space, you have to ensure users can’t breach kernel space. But this is the part where my logic runs dry: could a malicious caller control the return address that’s pushed to the stack? If so, could you redirect the kernel’s execution to an arbitrary physical address? Or does the kernel switch back into user mode just before calling RET?

Sigh... time to re-read xv6. I think interrupts are involved.
The mainstream media yells fire every. single. day.
Everyone here that I've read so far is close to going fringe conspiracy theorist on this issue. Electronic machines in the US are hard to hack en masse, because they require you to take them apart...and most neighboring jurisdictions don't even have a matching processes or voting systems. You all seem to say that paper ballots are safer and more transparent...but that's just factually wrong. Where do you think the term "ballot stuffing" comes from? There are videos of the Russian election just this past year of boxes being stuffed with paper ballots. It happened in the 1800s in the US, especially around the time when black Americans could begin voting.

The solution is simple and most places already do this, but each voting machine prints a matching paper receipt that can be matched with an electronic record. My jurisdiction already does this, it prints out of the back of the machine when you're done, but my vote is also electronic.

Those of you insinuating that Republicans (generally this is what people are hinting at) or Democrats are conspiring to rig elections via electronic voting are acting insane. If either party wanted to rig the election they could do it with paper or electronic ballots...and I highly doubt the vote tallies would be so close or that both parties would have so many seats flip every 8-10 years in toss up areas.
The entire field of marketing is hinged on applied psychology. The way that this article frames basic marketing techniques in a negative light simply because Facebook used them is the pinnacle of sensationalism.
Ok, I haven't put up more information on StORMi since was busy building up the product. StORMi is the only full fledge ORM capable of mapping all OO concept including inheritance, instance member, array of instance member, abstract inheritance, polymorphism.

Any java classes with these OO concepts will be translated to relational table with is fully normalize relationship underneath the Java codes abstracted by StORMi from the developers. It'll handle all the CRUD intricacies due to it's OO nature. A working product for these is already done and the final objective is to shift the ORM layer into the database in the future.
I'm much better at writing and understanding code than writing a technical blog. I tried once when I open sourced a new tool, but quite honestly it sucked. It sucked hard. I only ever published one post and nothing else because I just can't write as well as I code. https://samaritan.ai/blog/reversing-docker-images-into-docke...

I think too, you know people from work will see it and you also worry if it may affect the way they view you professionally.

It takes a lot of effort to make it pretty, convey the message and make sure the paragraph flow is there. It's a skill and I think you develop it with time. However, speaking for myself the return on investment just isn't there.

I've been freelancing for ~6 years now, it really depends on the initial time you spend knowing about your client. If you set the expectations right to your client about payments upfront and send them a contract that clearly has consequences for them if they don't pay on time, and if you walk them through it, you shouldn't have any problems getting paid.

That's why understanding your client in your first few meetings before you commit to the project is SO important. I let go of a lot of deals in my career because the client was very stingy - they want to know how you spent every second of your time or they want to know how many vacations you take, etc. It boils down to trust.

It's your responsibility to instil trust and this trust will pay itself off in the long run.

Also, I work with Google cloud, I'm always the project owner and at no point my client has access to the source code until full payment for the project has been made. So, it also depends how desperately they want that software/product.

They stopped paying? Simple. Just add an auth layer to the app (very simple to do with Google Cloud). They will come to you if they really need that product that bad. They didn't get back to you? Too bad, in my contract, it says this is now your IP and you can do whatever with it, including selling it off to a competitor or someone else who can find use for this.

The point is, I don't see why your personal space needs to be violated by an intermediary agent for you to be guaranteed to be paid..
'Intel has no chance in servers and they know it' is a little hyperbolic when they currently have over 90% of the server market. Maybe when they have been reduced down to single digit figures you can say they have no chance.

Despite the current scaling issues they can simply reduce margins to be price competitive and keep up their market share. AMD entering the market is a great way for Microsoft/Google/etc to negotiate hard for the CPU's needed for the next datacentre/upgrade cycle.

Reading semiaccurate.com feels a bit like reading InfoWars, everything is a conspiracy.
Could you expand on this? You run bind on your server, then you add your own server as an (additional?) nameserver to your domain's registrar?

you're marketing upwork as harmful for the freelancers, but then you offer writers 5 cents per word, according to https://insertly.typeform.com/to/qr6pHF.

for standard quality work on any kind of topic requiring any kind of finesse, at least 10 cents per word is standard. you can easily pick up these arrangements at the same throughput (1k words / week), too.

so, where's the value for freelancers? looks like you are advocating that you aren't as big of a rip off for them -- yet you're still paying 50% lower than market rate.

reprehensible.
Of course, there are always exceptions. Amazon is an outlier.
Maybe they should start with a common-sized charging plug?
Huh? There were plenty of interests who would have been willing to pay someone to generate a lot of fake anti-net-neutrality "opinions".

I road trip regularly with my Tesla Model S. You would be surprised at where there are charging solutions. Any RV park can charge you up over night. If you use superchargers, it's hardly slower than a gas car. A 600 mile day that would take roughly 9 hours of driving and 1.5 hours of stopping (getting gas, eating, bathroom breaks) in a gas car takes about 9 hours of driving and 2 hours of stopping (charging, eating, bathroom breaks).

To me that's totally worth the savings on fuel and the fact that the car does 90% of the driving for me. If you left at the same time, you'd beat me by 30 minutes, but I wouldn't feel like I'd been driving all day, and I would save $50+ on gas.

With a low reproduction / declining pop rate, this was the wrong thing to do from a socio-economic perspective, not to mention morality.

But really Japan has to seriously put an effort to positively utilize the other half of their able worker pool. If they engaged and got similar participation rates as men, that could go a long way in expanding their economy.
This post seems to be just a collection of generalities judging the way that someone else has chosen to spend his time. You seem both to be saying that he shouldn't have started and that, since he started, he shouldn't stop. Well, presumably the author once got some value out of the effort, so that it was worth starting; and found that he was now no longer getting enough value out of it, so that it was worth stopping. Do you really think that it's valid (or even important) for you to judge either of those decisions by someone else?
It's a bad idea sure, but the article could do without the Russia witchhunt
Of course it is a question of legality. It is a question of whether a CEO -- who has no democratic legitimacy -- should be allowed to decide what can be (in a manner that other people will actually read) published. And as I said, that their censorship is not perfect does not make a difference.

> and it doesn’t involve a legally protected class.

All your saying is that the CEOs' censorship is legal because it's legal.

‘The Beginning of a Wave’: A.I. Tiptoes into the Workplace
It is not clear what "it" you refer to here.

Referring to SpaceX as a steamroller is a metaphor[1].

"In full force" is, indeed, an idiom that generally means "in entirety", "completely"[2]

"Steamroller in full force" is neither a metaphor nor an idiom. It's a mashup of the two, and a phrase hitherto unuttered because it doesn't carry meaning.

Put simply, the set of things that can be "in full force" generally does not include steamrollers.

Please see Orwell's essay I linked to. "Fascist octopus has sung its swan song" is an example there that is a similar mix of metaphors.

There are many ways this can be fixed; steamrollers can gain momentum, for example.

As I said - it's not a principal point; I'm nitpicking. However, I believe clear communication is important - so here is an opportunity to improve.

So, my local paper had a comment section that was dominated by the typical hysterical, unhinged, anonymous arguing between far right and far left partisans that we see in a lot of online discourse.

It was just a day ago I wrote a short scathing remark about Google not doing what it ought to be doing for paid services. And now we have another case of resorting to social media for the right attention and help?

Google really needs to start thinking and acting like a product company, and it needs to own up that its support system needs a big investment and improvement. These incidents (and other anecdotes) make it look like support has been an afterthought in the company and considered a burden that must be avoided at all costs. Product managers at Google should cringe in shame every time something like this happens.
TL;DR it's all about who you know and what you've done. Remove the ‘who’ part and all your left with is an algorithmic self-perception.

very cool. hopefully you guys take off. i love python for being productive but static typing and easier distribution (compiling down to binary) are killer features for a language with similar semantics/expressiveness.
There isn't one, at least not straightforwardly.

There's a meta-hack, of sorts, however, that is:

"You don't have to be this way, and you don't have to do what others expect of you. You can change, and you don't have to ask permission. They will make you pay for it -- your friends, spouses, colleagues, institutions -- but the cost of the alternative can be higher still. Be free."

My main question is: Where are people going? It seems like there is a slight dip in usage across all social media, but I'm trying to figure out where those hours/days/weeks are being spent. Are people turning to more real-life activities, just broadcasting and communicating less, turning to other up and coming platforms, or relying more on private messaging?

I protested the Iraq invasion in 2003 but this is a revisionist and historically inaccurate version of why it failed so spectacularly.

The U.S. didn't occupy a functional country and then destroy it. The outbreak of mass murder and tit-for-tat violence wasn't motivated by political grievances against U.S. policy. The U.S. removed a dictator that was keeping the lid on religious sectarian infighting. It erupted immediately into a civil war and that was further inflamed by third parties.

"The fall of Baghdad saw the outbreak of regional, sectarian violence throughout the country, as Iraqi tribes and cities began to fight each other over old grudges. The Iraqi cities of Al-Kut and Nasiriyah launched attacks on each other immediately following the fall of Baghdad to establish dominance in the new country, and the U.S.-led Coalition quickly found themselves embroiled in a potential civil war. U.S.-led Coalition forces ordered the cities to cease hostilities immediately, explaining that Baghdad would remain the capital of the new Iraqi government. Nasiriyah responded favorably and quickly backed down; however, Al-Kut placed snipers on the main roadways into town, with orders that invading forces were not to enter the city. After several minor skirmishes, the snipers were removed, but tensions and violence between regional, city, tribal, and familial groups continued."

Yes, you can. Kotlin/Native targets iOS: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/native-overview.html

And if you're going to consider JS as supporting iOS then KotlinJS works on iOS, too.

So Kotlin is doubly runnable on iOS as either native code or JS.
This is exactly right. And i reiterate this often, TANSTAAFL. (There ain't no such thing as a free lunch).

No one is loaning you money interest free. You are just paying for it in the purchase price or through other fees.

I will admit there are rare cases where strange incentives may make it cheaper or the same price to buy with credit, but these are very rare, and are only applicable if you artificially limit your available selection of vehicles to brand new. Even though you could get virtually the same car with 10k miles on it for much less.
Don't worry about it, tries are an almost entirely interview question specific data structure.

Even if you down own your home, it's no guarantee.

I live in a condo with a detached garage, which is on the far side of another row of condos.

So getting power from my meter to the garage means trenching through a sidewalk, under a block of condos, then through about 20 feet of pavement. Alternatively, I could trench through 100 feet of pavement from the power vault where our complex's transformer is and have the power company install a new meter for me.

The garage has a light bulb + garage door opener circuit, but the panel that feeds it wouldn't support a single charge station, let alone enough for the 8 garages that the panel serves.

The HOA isn't interested in running enough power to let residents install an EV charge station in the garage, and I'm not interested in paying for it either. So unless I can get my neighbors to help share the cost, I'm not going to be able to install a charge station.

This encouraged me even further to run Linux as my daily driver. Without a hackintosh, I might be stuck in overpriced, un-upgradeable Apple land.

Instead, I completely made the switch: got a 300$ fully decked ThinkPad x230 with 16gb ram and an IPS screen, running Ubuntu + i3, and the former hackintosh is now on server duty. I'm finally apple free :)

So I highly recommend hackintoshes as a stepping stone to leaving Apple!
