It's how everyone arrives on Survivor without knowing how to make a fire - what did you think was going to happen? I understand that the Venn diagram between "people narcissistic enough to be on reality tv" and "people who like to plan ahead" is probably the number 8, but even still, c'mon!

edit: Survive? No, Survivor.
I decided to finally bite the bullet and learn React yesterday. Every time they mentioned "we do it like this at Facebook" in the tutorial/docs, my eagerness died a little more. Even little tongue-in-cheek things, like their shopping list app consisting of companies they've acquired (Instagram, Oculus, WhatsApp) felt like a bummer.
Why would he bother raising wages then? No need for him to raise wages to do that. He isn't doing it for the sake of it. There is some other incentive involved. Automation happens either way and they have been gradually doing it for years without raising wages significantly.
True, but given pretty hard cap on commute speed, I don't think it changes much. It's not unheard of to commute 50 miles to work now in the Bay Area (it's basically San Jose to San Francisco), how much more you can do in the middle of nowhere - double? I don't think many people would drive 3 hours there and 3 hours back every day.

I don't think the widespread ban on whaling is concerned with the intelligence of whales or the inhumanity of killing them; rather, it's concerned with the potential extinction of a species, which is absolutely not a concern with lifestock animals.

You're not wrong, but you do realize that the outcome of a midterm election won't affect the president's authority to sign or veto bills?
It's possible that your automation saved jobs by enabling your former employer / client to remain solvent. Sometimes the choice is not "30 jobs without automation or 10 jobs with automation," but rather "10 jobs with automation or 0 jobs without automation."
Even if you don’t contest the results of those studies (I don’t) you have to admit the consequences are dramatically different.
The elusive mamil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamil
Quoting the article again: "It is up to authors to interpret the effect size in their study, and to show the mechanism through which an effect that is impossibly large, becomes plausible. Without such an explanation, the finding should simply be dismissed."

Rutherford was able to come up with such a mechanism in his work with Niels Bohr. Atomic theory was quite new when Rutherford made his discovery: in a sense this was low-hanging fruit. The article's point is that this effect size is so big that if it was real, any half-decent lawyer would aready know about it. Without an explanation for why everyone somehow missed this point, the claim is pretty much invalid.

I think the right analogy is if someone comes up with evidence for a speed of light that does not agree with the standard measurement. If the claim is to be taken seriously, not only do they have to be rigorous in their experiment - they also need to explain why all other measurements were incorrect. This stuff happens all the time in science. Experiments are sloppy, and results are difficult to replicate. The go-to reaction should be to throw out a result, unless it can be replicated time and time again.

Kuhn's description of a paradigm shift included room for 'problems' that can't be explained with the confines of normal science. You only start throwing things out when the evidence against you becomes unassailable.

YMMV when it comes to bikes. About 3 years ago I bought a cheap bike from Canadian Tire, and on the first day riding it to work, both pedals broke off.
If as a society we agree that companies have a moral responsibility / obligation to pay their employees a wage that provided X, Y, Z your analogy would make a lot more sense.

In America at least, we do not have agreement.
Ah, just like George.
I totally agree with you. The republican party is merely a middle man though. They have been doing the bidding of their corporate overlords. Same in other countries like Australia. "Clean coal" is being promoted, forests have been bulldozed and coral reefs ignored.

All the dedicated server providers reuse components, it's normal practice.

As long as the health of the HDD is 100% with no bad sectors there's no reason not to reuse it.

When you get your new hetzner server check it with smartctl, hdsentinel etc, if any show bad sectors or health other than 100% I am sure they'll be happy to replace it for you.

I guess you are the third person to chime in on this. I've already clarified multiple times that I thought the subject, the narrow subject, was very clear. In a topic sentence that specifically mentions well armed militias, the subsequent statements were related to that. It was carefully worded to deal with whatever rebuttals to the wording alone that overly semantical programmers might come up with while keeping my point, and it failed.

Also, yes, the federal government will assume administration of police departments if its FUBAR, local municipalities can even ask for it to happen, like San Francisco has done and received since 2016.
A benefit is having a multipurpose robot that can perform a variety of tasks that humans do using similar tools and techniques that we already use. I'm sure there's cases where that makes more sense than having more purpose-built machines.
Start with the routers. Build a better home router. Sort of like Ubiquiti kind of is doing. Build one that does

- local caching and P2P sharing of media / photos etc

this gives ISPs a genuine incentive to use it - if routers can build a mesh network (or at least not push back to ISP core) for 20/30 % traffic will that be savings?

- Router acts as first responder to bot nets / malware from within the house

Another good isp feature but great for the rest of us. IOT devices are only going to get worse and more vulnerable- but an intelligent router would be able to stop it sending ACK packets at cloudflare or whatever at source. And let you know that your fridge has been hacked and what to do about it.

- Actually get updated with new firmware ... ever

I think the household router / household hub is an important leverage that is under looked a lot.

Vectorised processing is a win according to that paper: it is faster than scalar code. The key point of the paper is that compiled queries---doing loop fusion---is sometimes more of a win (in a database context, where "vectorisation" doesn't always mean SIMD as in this discussion).

Doing fused SIMD-vectorised operations will likely bring the advantages of both, with relatively small downsides. This is a relatively common technique for libraries like Eigen (in C++), that batch a series of operations via "Expression Templates" and then execute them all in as a single sequence, using SIMD when appropriate. (Other examples are C++ ranges and Rust iterators, although these are focused on ensuring loop fusion and any vectorisation is compiler autovectorisation... but they are written with that in mind: effort is put into helping the building blocks vectorise.)
Infinitesimals don't exist in standard analysis. There exist no positive numbers smaller than all positive real numbers. The probability of picking any given real number from [0, 1) is exactly zero, there's no other number it could be. Rigorously, the measure of any countable subset of real numbers is zero.
Having had good bike and cheap bike, it was difference. Major one. Speed and distance difference was considerable and so was durability.

Your friends were unusually unlucky in their choice of bike, or you was unusually lucky.
When times are good, people agitate for "worker protections" and get them because the economy is doing well enough to absorb the cost. Then when the economy declines, capital successfully lobbies to relax the rules to keep the country's industry competitive.

The result is that good times correlate with more labor laws, but the causation goes the other way.
Note that usually you are also using the microscope to observe what you are trapping, so it' super convenient (but not easy), to use the same objective that the one you observe to send a laser through (in the opposite direction) and trap your sample. If you send your laser-beam quasi parallel it will focus and trap particula quasi-where your are observing.

If supply were able to keep up with demand, then the tulip price could've stayed the same. Of course, we live in the real world, where you can only ramp up production of good so quickly. But no one said the demand is rational.

There are places which manage to build housing without massive price appreciation, like Tokyo. But once the market's too overheated because of supply mismatch you basically can't cool it down only using construction, because construction time takes so long.
> How can cloud storage be "unsecure" if the data is encrypted?

Because security is more than just encryption. If someone puts my data on a simple HTTP web server but the file's encrypted, the only defensive layer between my data and someone else is that encryption - it better be damn good and have used a strong key.

I'd rather that file be behind more layers of security than that - I want authorization and authentication, preferably multi-factor authentication. I want the data service provider to have some notion of what addresses I'd likely be accessing from (North America), and which are likely attacks (China, Russia), and act accordingly (e.g. increasing security measures like anti-botting, asking security questions, etc). I want them to have a pretty robust logging infrastructure and intrusion detection, so that when they do eventually get attacked, they can notify who they need to that their data has been compromised and rotate credentials. I want to know they properly handle drives and NV memory that have had my data on them - either securely wiping them, or destroying them outright.

This whole idea is known as "defense in depth," - if one layer fails, you have more to fall back on, with the hope that attackers will eventually give up once they've hit too many hurdles to make the attack pay off, or they simply can't surmount the numerous layers of defense.

From the perspective of everything I just mentioned, just throwing your encrypted files on a web server feels pretty insecure to me.

Bitcoin (BTC) vs. Bitcoin Cash (BCH): What Are the Differences?
I appreciate your suggestion, but that's not how I think it works. The use of open-source projects of a company directly supports the "R&D machine" of that company, by acknowledging the output of the researchers. The reason is that many researchers would not work for a company if there was no possibility of publication and acknowledgement. So by avoiding these projects, I implicitly vote for these researchers to work for companies with better ethical standards.
OIDC generally requires additionally add-ins (e.g. Dex, or keycloak) to operate with things like AD.

New York has many parking protected lanes, so even though the driving culture is much more aggressive, I find it doable.

Seattle has a great trail system, which is wonderful until you're trying to get off the trail. East-west travel within Seattle is particularly appalling. There's a lot of painted bike lanes, which I don't feel very comfortable in, particularly in Seattle where the driving culture is passive-aggressive and unpredictable (as opposed to New York, where it's aggressive but pretty predictable, so avoiding negative consequences is pretty easy)
i've got good legs and can usually do that with my non-electric 2-speed road bike, even though i observe all red lights and other traffic rules. the only downside is i get slightly sweaty and have to change at the office, which adds ~5 minutes to my 20 minute bike commute.

... which takes about 2/3s of the time public transport takes, which is, again, probably slightly faster than driving to office (without counting the time it'd take to find a parking spot, which would probably double the commute).

interestingly, for me, riding at a relaxed pace is pretty much as fast as going as fast as possible, as red light luck is such a big factor.
>> the Japanese certainly don't have a monopoly on questionably consistent relationships with animals.

There are some unique aspects to Japanese whaling. It isn't just about eating whales, nor is is about culture. The scant studies that have come from their "research" whaling operation suggests they see whales as a competitor species for fish (focus on stomach contents etc). The dark interpretation of this is that they don't want whale populations to increase, that they are killing whales for no other reason than to make them dead. That would be a very unique human-animal relationship imho. I cannot think of any other species with which we compete for sustenance.

For perspective, the world sperm whale population probably consumes as much fish as the entire human population harvests from the ocean.
Because capitalism has nothing to do with it.
> If you have a hierarchy where engineers are at the very top and the people who are interfacing with the outside world are a couple rungs below that, you really miss something when those people don’t have an equal voice at the table.

As an engineer, I've always found that I'm quite far from the top rung, and that my voice is frequently not the loudest at the table.

What may give the illusion that my voice is strong is that I only support ideas that I know I can build or are practical.

I find that the people who make complaints like that are usually the people who don't realize that their voices are just as equal as mine at the table. They just need to work on their credibility in order to make their voice stronger.

Edit: Credibility often comes from knowing what ideas to support, and when to stop pushing an idea. The term "idea person" comes to mind here.
I agree with you. "Easy" is very subjective and to be fair, I never said that meeting any of my 3 criteria was going to be a walk in the park.

Just getting a visa to work in the USA like I had to do is hard and disqualifies most of the planet (~7.7 billion) people.

I'll be interested to see how this plays out. AuthN for users in k8s clusters is a bit of a pain point from what I've seen in a number of reviews I've done.

The in-built options (Basic auth, token auth, client cert) are not really scalable for a larger number of users, and the other options (webhook, OIDC) can be complex to setup.

So any relatively easy to use options for this would be welcome.
It's not about dollars. It's about your behaviors. Behaviors of the middle class. Middle class people typically do things like own one home, work two jobs, save for their kids' college, keep their cars for a while, etc.
What I don't understand is does it really cost a company like WD that much to license or just buy already manufactured chips?

It would seem taking risks on new architectures, and all the extra development time (both chip and tooling) would far outweigh the cost of just licensing arm.

Can someone explain the economics of it all?

Don't get me wrong, I am all for a free competitor to ARM's near monopoly on the mobile embedded space. I don't just get it.

One of the biggest problems in waste management (from dimly remembered podcast) is that the contracts handed out are on hugely long timescales. A Norwegian company has great sorting capabilities - just have organic and non-organic sorted at house holder and they can take recycle anything.

It's great, eco friendly and cheap. But local governments are locked into 10-15 year contracts to take day cardboard and only cardboard to a specific factory, which factory has no incentive to upgrade facilities as they do fine

So waste management change is likely to be slow

I think we are confusing two things here.

The OP probably meant this tool as something useful in his situation and shared it with others, in case someone else needs something like that. He was probably thinking along the lines of "If someone needs that, it's fine, let them discover something like that exists and use it". People over here are viewing this as a one-size-fits-all solution for web scraping and pointing out valid reasons why it's a bad idea to use it like that. I think that we should accept that this tool might be good for some, but completely unnecessary for others and we shouldn't criticize it for not being useful for our purposes.

One situation where this tool has clear advantages over other solutions is client-side scraping. If we made an app for ios/android/Windows/whatever that runs on devices owned by end-users and crawls data upon request, perhaps from multiple websites, having the crawlers written as external scripts would be extremely useful. That would allow you tu push updates to the crawlers separately, immediately after a website changes its layout, without the need to update your app. Making a gallery of downloadable crawlers for more sources would, probably, aslo be possible. The limitations of that language are very advantageous in this situation, as crawlers are mostly sandboxed and can't destroy your filesystem, steal your data etc. This tool also allows keeping the crawlers separate from the app. That would allow people to create a global npm-like repository for crawlers working regardless of what programming language you use (provided someone wrote an implementation of this tool in your language). Imagine an use-case like building a books price comparator app in, let's say, Java for android and swift for ios, and maybe even c++ because some libraries still run Windows xp and would like that app to be available, and being able to download the crawlers for Amazon and tens of local bookselling websites that would work in all of those apps, without a need to write them yourself. If used right, this tool could actually allow programmers to imagine that there's actually a semantic web as originally imagined and write services that interact with various websites in surprising ways, without thinking about how the interactions are done on a lower level.
