Is this in New England? Are you talking about Selectmen's meetings? At least in Massachusetts, Town Meeting is a once-a-year thing unless something critical comes up, then a Special Town Meeting is called. TM is expensive both in money and time so STMs aren't called unless it really can't wait.

Selectmen meet more frequently but yes, we have some persistent contrarians with perhaps too much free time on their hands too. It's good to have a devil's advocate sometimes as it keeps everyone honest.

Speaking time is mostly at the whim of the moderator, elected at the start of TM. If the Town doesn't like it, they should choose a different moderator.

These companies were successful small businesses before they were large businesses. They were able to compete in new industries because they had access to capital, talent, and identified areas that were important and aggressively maintained innovation in those areas by way of investor capital or profits.

Why is there a need for small companies to take those large companies head-on? Maybe slow the ability for the large companies to impede competition in tangential areas.

Sites behind CF usually include two headers in the responses: cf-ray and expect-ct.

I agree in principle.

But it seems to me that the marginal cost in terms of CO2 emissions is not exactly clear for flying. Whether I fly or not, the planes will fly. My addition to a single plane in terms of the weight is not that significant. It becomes a more murky economic argument. I agree people should not fly, but this is more of a collective action type approach in my view. It takes roughly a plane load of people to make a difference.

In contrast, a driver has much more direct control over the CO2 emissions. The marginal addition of CO2 is much clearer.

Then you've chosen a bad service provider(s) to host/colocate/peer with.

Actually, you should notice this situation pretty much immediately you're online - because most likely your IMAP server would be down - and every single email client I've used had started to display warnings.

If you have more complex setup with separate MTA so your IMAPd may be online while your STMP service's unreachable, then you should set up monitoring system and deliver alerts either using local delivery or any out-of-band mechanisms (like SMS).

Also, you can set up a backup MX. Or two. Or more. Email has failover/HA since forever.
Great way of looking at it. It even raises the question if it would be possible or desirable to match the legacy of Steve Jobs. Or if - from a business point of view - the best thing Tim could do was to manage Steve's legacy. Similar to the pope, to stay in your metaphor.
Not really, it's kind of a weird entry in the lineup. Due to the dual-NUMA layout of TR it's essentially a pair of 4-cores smushed together, which is essentially the worst of all worlds. Desktop users will be better off using the 2700X (same number of cores but on a single NUMA node, and higher clocks), high-core-count users will be better off with the 1920X/1950X or the 2920X/2950X.

The sole advantage is that it's a lot of PCIe lanes for the money, so it can make sense for storage builds that want to address a lot of NVMe, or GPU compute builds that need very little CPU horsepower.

Also, like all TR boards, the motherboards are extortionate. They start at about $350 and go up from there. And that doesn't even buy you a futureproof system - the higher core counts on the TR 2000 series mean that first-gen boards likely won't be able to turbo the new processors, you're running base-clocks.

The point isn't to see if the model can process images. OpenAI's goal is to see if they can recreate the ability to plan and strategize over a partial information continuous long time horizon environment.

You wouldn't want AlphaGo to have to input it's commands using robotic hands right? It's the same thing in that, sure it might be interesting, but that isn't what we care about. Image processing and robotics controls are largely solved. Showcasing that a model can gain the ability to plan and think is the novel stuff here, and is the path to where "artificial intelligence" if any appears. That's the ultimate goal in playing any of these games.
The "privacy" and "security" features also mean a less powerful computer. Which is probably the right trade-off for most users but a pain in the ass for more niche use cases.

Death really is around the corner for chicks in an egg though. Even professional hatcheries supposedly can't manage more than a ~90% hatch rate. The thing that is silly about the chicken's worry (apart from the anthropomorphism) is not that the situation wasn't actually life threatening, but that it is completely out of the chicken's control as an embryo.

Pollution and climate change are killing millions. For anyone in the glorious future looking back, I hope they will not be amused at how disturbing that is to us, but instead think, "yeah that was really terrible, thank goodness we got through it".

So some thing you can look for in a request:

* `server: cloudflare` - Although CloudFlare uses a nginx, they report
themselves properly in the server header
* `Cookie: _cfudid:*` - CloudFlare uses the cookie header to identify
users and prevent abuse. If you delete this cookie too many times,
your IP is flagged by CloudFlare and you may receive an interstitial
blocking you from accessing a site.
* IP Ranges: https://www.cloudflare.com/ips-v4 and
https://www.cloudflare.com/ips-v6 - CloudFlare owns the routing
to these IP addresses. If you want, setup some Firewall Rules to block
access to these ranges.

All in all, CloudFlare is probably the least of your worries. You might want to do some investigation on your ISP, some of which MITM and track any insecure content.
FWIW, the biggest pain is the prescription.

My doctor only does 1 year prescriptions, my prescription hasn't changed for 15 years. It's important to get your eyes checked, but every year is a bit nuts. I guess we have some federal organization to thank for that.

I'd love to see you guys figure that problem out. Maybe you could figure out how to ship from out of the US or something. Hell, I'd pay more if I didn't have to go to the doctor every year.

Once your payload exceeds the SSTO capability of a single BFS launch, you save effort by doing a two-stage launch. The two-stage launch is more complex and difficult, but the added capacity is far greater.

For intuition, consider moving to a new house. What’s better, renting a tiny car with room for one suitcase, or renting a big truck? The car is cheaper and easier to drive, but unless all of your stuff fits in one suitcase, the truck is going to be much cheaper and easier for this task.

The Giotto story is almost certainly a myth. It's also largely irrelevant; anyone can draw a perfect circle in two seconds with a pair of compasses or a piece of string.

Becoming a confident and capable draftsman is a skill that anyone can learn to a surprisingly high degree of proficiency in a remarkably small amount of time. Most of us won't become Albrecht Dürer, but we all have the innate capacity to draw well if we simply understand the process.

This is great advice. I run a B2B SaaS and we were lucky enough to run bizdev and product dev paths in parallel, so we weren't stuck with the wrong product and no customers, instead, we had the customers to iterate on the wrong product to get to a better fit.
That is a very upsetting story. Thank you for taking the time to share it. It serves as a pertinent example of how cold and calculating advertising can be - especially with regards to intimate, personal life events.

Facebook still seems to misunderstand its role as a communications platform funded through adtech and data harvesting. And as a company with 2 billion+ customers ('users' in reality, as their customers are actually advertisers), they need to understand that they have an ethical role to play in using technology (yes, even communications technologies) and need to address their Orwellian bones.
> This would be significantly less of a problem if he didn't somehow have a legion of paranoid fans ready to consider him a martyr. Wonder how they got there.

So I quite agree with you - but it feels surprising that so many people just don't do any validation of their model in their head. _How_ the author was asking to draw the bicycle probably mattered.

I think they're different people with different strengths, so it's futile to compare them.

I think Steve Jobs was an incredibly talented person and it's not really fair to ding Tim Cook for not being Steve Jobs. Apple is obviously not the same company without Jobs, but is that Tim Cook's fault? I don't see how.

It seems to me that a lot of the "analysis" of Tim Cook vs Steve Jobs is really just people wishing Steve Jobs was still alive. I wish he was too.

I will point out that Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997 and hired Tim Cook in 1998. So Jobs' incredible 2nd run at Apple was also, to some extent, Cook's incredible run too.

In the spherical cow on a frictionless plane kinda sense, 1W transmitting radially at a 100 Million km distance to earth for example, the earth surface would see roughly 1e-48 of that. The deep space network covering much less area than that would see even less, I guess it wouldn't see anything.

I don't believe that's the reasoning; and although I worked at AWS in the past I don't know for sure what's the reasoning behind choosing "Amazon" or "AWS" prefix for a service name.

For example, RDS is definitely a service built on top of other core services (EC2, S3, KMS, Route 53), its name is "Amazon RDS" and not "AWS RDS".
