I don't mean to suggest in any way, shape, form, or manner that it cannot be done! Only that it cannot be done in a way that is anything resembling cost-effective.

The sheer, staggering inefficiency involved might help incentivize usage away from a proxy for micropayments and towards malware.
That's pretty spectacular, I'd love to read some more sources on it.

Makes me glad Tesla did their stuff the way they did. You can reboot the cenelter console and/or days while driving and not much happens other than A/C turning off for about 20s.
> the design capacity of the MBP battery is less than that of the MB Air.

Correct, the MB Air is rated at 12hrs for “wireless web”, the MB Pro is 10hrs for “wireless web”.

> It’s a questionable trade-off for a “pro” machine.

You must have a very opinionated view of “pro” that doesn’t fit the normal reality. A usual “pro” (at least in Apple’s context) is usually (but obviously not always) sitting somewhere with a power outlet. The battery is intended for meetings or other moderate duration periods of disconnect. If you want a laptop for being completely mobile, then go with one designed for that purpose (MacBook, MacBook Air, iPad w/ keyboard). If you want desktop class performance in a portable form factor, then there are trade-offs, and battery being one of the heaviest parts, that’s usually it. While I think Apple’s obsession with thinness at all costs is questionable to me, laptop weight being as minimal as possible isn’t, especially to my back that carries it each day.
> I'd much rather live in a world where websites are financed with my electric bill rather than my data.

In general, I wouldn't mind that much if I had to pay some extra "Internet subscription" to cover publisher costs, if reasonable. I don't think electricity bill is the right place to include it in. And I definitely do not want this charge to be included by the means of cryptocurrencies - they're wasteful at their very core (as opposed to every other financial instrument in existence), and I don't want to support such ideas. Not to mention that, like 'Kalium observes, it would take extreme amounts of power use to "send" a publisher some reasonable amount of money.

The enforcement isn't the problem. When I've brought this up in the past I've been informed that the common result of a server not making enough in tips to cover minimum wage is that they are fired rather than the employer choosing to continue to employ them and cover the difference.
SF has slightly better weather than Seattle, but we're not talking SoCal weather better.

They're a US entity operating under US law. If you are in the US, US law is what applies, not EU law.

They also don't have European operations, so it's not like the EU has any means to compel them to act even if it wanted to.

The baffle grid would need to be the same size as the deck opening. Those are rather large on bulkers, AFAIK. Permanent baffles with open sides can be installed in the sides of the holds. I think those parts probably have sloped sides to follow the bowl shaped cross-section of the ship anyway.

I have a Lenovo X1 Yoga which, confusingly, is completely different from the "non X1" Yoga rviewed here. Also not to be confused with the X1 Carbon which is pretty much the same product as the X1 Yoga but belongs to a different line. Thanks for the clarity Lenovo.

Anyway I like the balance the X1 Yoga strikes : it has a regular Thinkpad keyboard which is nice to write code on AND it is a 2-in-1 touchscreen that you can flip into a tablet. The keys recess into the case when you flip it into tablet mode.

Same here. Just picked one up a few weeks back and used the stock web-gui to upload the newest OpenWRT. Worked without a hitch.
Nature (so I expect Nature Communications as well) has paid editors AFAIK, but more importantly the charge is only paid by successful papers. I can't find the NC acceptance rate but for Nature it's in the region of 4-5% IIRC.

That means all successful papers are paying for any costs incurred for the review (editor or peer) of 20.

You can look at non-profit journals like the PLOS journals, they still have charges in the region of $1600-3000.

i haven’t written a whole lot of go, but from what i’ve done and what i see coming in go 2 i don’t really want to have to write a lot more. go felt like it was modern-vintage to start with memory management but also values/pointers. with a heavy emphasis on multi return error handling instead of generics (Either), nil instead of Option, and mutability by default

and the future seems to be more weirdness. magic methods like handle. list comprehensions still uncertain. contracts sound like a backwards compatible break and duplicate of existing functionality.

i used go to use libraries and low memory foot print for my small projects. but i bet there’s simpler routes out there
I agree. Really there are two alternatives to what happened.

1. The patriot battery does not have the bug, (or was recently rebooted) and now has a BETTER chance of hitting the scud missile. (but not guaranteed) People may or may not die.

2. The patriot battery is turned off, or not there, and nothing stands in the way of the scud missile. People most likely die.
Afair it was possible to rail jump in rail warz. But maybe I’m confusing it with other mods. It was long ago.

But the grapple hook travel was dope and super speedy.

Edit: not possible to rail jump. But the laser grapple is the killer feature.

I always played the capture the flag version. The speed and precision of it was what really got me into it.
Yeah, it's kind of a natural HUD. However even though it could definitely be mimicked with electronics, a biological self-hack would have the advantages of not worrying about battery life, software updates, security, etc.

If you were in a future Mad-Max dystopia, you'd definitely want a bio-hack to guide you around instead of a fragile piece of plastic and silicon.

It depends on how you read part of the EU statement, but there's a note about not accepting "the hybrid approach". If this refers to hybrid journals, then that would be the barring of publishing in large numbers of journals.
I didn't realize those were problems in Seattle. I guess both places have their downsides though.

Professionally, did you have any problems after living/working in Seattle? I had slight concerns that people in the bay might lack preference for engineers coming from outside of the bay, but hopefully that isn't true.
As a motorcyclist this is exactly what I do too. Its impressive how often people will telegraph a turn before they ever really turn.

Hey there! I work on Spidermonkey (not specifically the wasm part, but I've touched it a few times due to other work).

First off, nice work - this is really cool. One of my big hopes for WASM is that it provides a real low-level semantic model to start talking about program analysis. It takes away a whole lot of the platform-specific skullduggery you need to do to perform these sorts of analyses on machine code, and the whole model is a lot simpler than something like CLR or JVM since it's so low-level.

I've been keeping my eye out for program analysis tools on top of wasm for a while now. Very happy to see your work.

Have you gotten in touch with any of the wasm folks at Moz? I'm sure they'd be happy to talk with you about it (I know I would definitely not mind picking your brain a bit on some high-bandwidth comms chan - learn a bit about the implementation challenges and issues you ran into).

Cheers :)
I didn't get the sense that he loves what he's doing. It's more like the job is manageable and he does not see any better alternatives.
> ASICs are roughly 100x more power-efficient at essentially any crypto mining algorithm

That's half of the problem.

The other half is that cryptocurrencies rely, in a structural way, on their generation to be difficult, so when enough ASICs get deployed, the currency ups its "difficulty factor", multiplying the amount of power you have to burn for the same reward.

Really, if I were a supervillain who wanted to accelerate energy crisis and climate change by exploiting human greed, cryptocurrencies is the scheme I would come up with.

Everything on the Russian side screams of a desperation play.

> Thanks to the vast amount of data Amazon collects from its customers, it can target ads not only to basic demographics — say, women over the age of 35 — but to a more precise segment of customers who are likely to be shopping for cellphones or barbecue grills.

...and later:

> “We can reach the right consumer at the right time using their wealth of data to target,” Ms. McGurk said. “Other traditional digital platforms do not have the level of purchase data that Amazon has on their customers.”

It seems rather disingenuous to paint Google and Facebook as the bad guys for selling out their users' data for ad revenue but then go on to say that they are behind Amazon because Amazon has so much more useful customer data and is willing to sell it. It's becoming clear that the NYT is going to war with Facebook and Google (understandably so, since they killed their business).

One final point- in a time of economic expansion, which we have been in for a few years now, ad spending is going to rise. All players- Facebook, Google, Amazon, probably even the New York Times- will see better results. There are more dollars floating around the economy as consumers spend more instead of save and advertisers feel that they need to spend more across all channels just to keep up with their competitors.
Why not use lisp syntax, at all? Why do we have to reinvent syntax every single generation? I'm not an old school engineer (I'm in my early 20s and in my first job, freshly outta college) but I can't see why we don't use lisp, prolog or ML syntax for everything. Seems vastly better than C-like synaxes in all ways I can think of, easier to implement, easier to extend, easier to read (imho) etc... When I program even in a low caliber lisp like elisp (which I do routinely since I use emacs) it feels like syntax gets in my way less frequently compared to python, C, Javascript etc... I just wanna think about my program, and not the syntax. If lisp is not expressive enough, why not just ML? Why do we have to reinvent it so many times when syntax is not an interesting or relevant problem (e.g. Rust syntax)?
IMO
Some of the questions here are opinion based , you may not get right answer and you may set a red flag for yourself. For example if someone asks me what are working hours, do you work on weekends ? I take that as a sign that interviewee may be looking for easy job role and not committed.

I would suggest to ask process related questions i.e what is the build/deployment process? What happens when you take down site in production due to bug? Etc.
Munich Re is in the (re)-reinsurance business, but they apparently own HSB which appears to be telecom-related so it could make sense to buy an IoT middleware startup.

Policies like this are no assurance that you'll be treated well by a company. It's still roulette. Maybe they care, maybe they can't get talent in the door.
I don't understand how these can work. How can the shade darken faster than the speed of light? Or is it that it darkens faster than enough energy can strike the eyeball -- you'd see a flash, but it would be super short and not long enough to totally cook your eye, perhaps only partially?
This reads a lot like a plea for bailouts on the USAs dime. It feels to me that they aren’t make a case for sovereign leaders of African nations to make better choices or oppose the debt deals that China is purposing, but more like they’re trying to list reasons why the USA needs to bail countries out of their own messes

Now I completely understand the history of colonialism and certainly I doubt we were of much help here Even though we didn’t have any direct African colonies and such. I also understand that this is a huge international political issue that is tied up here, but the article hardly goes into any depth about that at all and really just focuses on the need for the USA to intervene in place of China....with what would amount to bailouts/free money

'Creative Selection' a Behind-The-Scenes Look into Apple's Design History
This is important as the rot almost inevitably starts at the top, but in my experience it is rare for an underling to badmouth their boss to someone who they don't know (I say this as someone who should have, but didn't due to fear of being fired). Instead you have to eek out a general vibe by asking less pointed questions like:

* How often do you interact with the CEO/insert title?

* How comfortable are you with the level of transparency and your understanding of the company's overall health?

* Do you have input into wider strategic decisions or is that handled by a smaller group?

* What does the X year roadmap/vision for the company look like?

* How does senior management interact with the team? Is everyone together during the day so it's a natural flow or is the management team in their office/meetings most of the time?

etc, etc. Ask enough of these types of questions and eventually you'll wear through the polish and get a better feel for how people really think about the boss.

I think "the part" in this case is the entire pressure vessel. You would have to disassemble everything and build a new capsule out of the parts.

The thing that gets me is that the glue "squeezed out" of the hole? What did they use? Hot glue? Rubber cement? Once epoxy hardens it might break up but it's not going to squeeze through anything.
