We've been using gRPC since late 2015 for communication between IOT devices and cloud hosted servers. We chose gRPC for the following reasons: bi-directional streaming support; TCP connection multiplexing; mutual authentication with client TLS certs; a large company backing it so that it would likely continue to be supported in the future.

In other words gRPC fit our use case nicely and if it didn't exist at the time we would have built our own crappy protocol ourselves.

I think gRPC is great for server-to-server communication and use cases where you need bi-directional streaming. I would not use it for an externally facing API. I would not recommend it for browser-to-server communication unless you are already using gRPC other places in your stack. If you want the IDL you can use protobufs over plain HTTP.

GraphQL solves a very different problem and I would generally not consider it as an alternative to gRPC.
I think the clarity they've added is welcome.
When i was working on a project in Tunisia, i saw lots of the locals walking around in the morning with little sprigs of rosemary (which grows everywhere there) and taking sniffs of it as they commuted.

When I asked about it, they mentioned it was like a morning coffee, they felt it woke them up, and "got their brain firing".

I gave it a go, and (n=1) it definitely felt like a pick me up. I grow rosemary in my garden now, and every morning as I am getting ready for work I will grab a bit and smell away.
Adapting education to the demands of a rapidly changing economy
>Charging services are quite interchangeable

Not for the tenants themselves.

Tenants need permission from the owner to install charging infrastructure, and the owner has little incentive to allow competition because the vendor gives them a cut of the [overpriced] charging fee. Even California's progressive tenant EV charger law[1] doesn't apply if 10% (!) of parking spots already have chargers.

Your example of pay laundry is instructive. In theory laundry service remains interchangeable (after all, "water/electric service is already running to the buildings"), but in practice the owner simply forbids tenants from installing their own laundry machines (typically citing flood risk).

All chargers are not created equal. "Planning" to build something is not building it. 350kW is a lot of energy and you need to pay for all the power electronics to run that much DC power.

I have no doubt the'll start building chargers but I think the ramp up will be slower and the power levels will be lower than what people think. Most cars can't even charge at 350kW because their batteries are too small. You'd damage the batteries.
Their last round was 9.5m, so I'd say their valuation was probably $50m (postmoney) at the time. That was 3 years ago though, so it has likely gone up quite a bit.
Arm Unveils New Chip Line for Hyperscale Datacenters
I had a Palm Pilot, Palm III and Treo, followed by BlackBerry. It wasn’t THAT great, poor graphics, slowness and weird quirks (also graffiti) but I agree it was visionary compared to everything else in the 90s. the blackberry was pretty amazing in 2000 and as a phone was a step up circa 2005. Though the Palm Pre had some great ideas we Are seeing now in iOS and Android. iOS became really good at calendar and contacts by around 2010 if I recall but I lived with it from 2007 onwards.

Whenever a key feature in iOS seems missing I just google for where it went. iOS search is so essential that I couldn’t see it ever removed...
"Nobody knows how?" They have a pretty plausible explanation in the back half of this very article:

> With iOS 12, Apple implemented a highly-anticipated change called “USB Restricted Mode.” This shuts off lightning port access on the iPhone if it hasn’t been unlocked by a user in the last hour. This was widely believed to be Apple’s solution to foil companies like GrayShift and Cellebrite but we don’t know for certain if that did the trick. Apple did not return our request for comment.

That would definitely do it. If Lightning goes down they cannot differentially backup/restore while attempting to guess the user's passcode.
Even back in the days of Quake 1 used ESDF because it gave more comfortable options for the pinkie finger. I was confused as to why WASD was so popular until I learned that many keyboards had complicated limitations around how many button presses they could register simultaneously. ESDF crosses a regional boundary on the keyboard that made it easy to overflow the limits and would lead to dropped keypresses at frantic moments. WASD stays within one region and was thus was more reliable on more keyboards.
Not the OP but in my experience with lab robotics, locomotion and sensing are the primary problems, as broad as that is. Compared to electrical systems, the human muscular and nervous system are extremely sensitive, low mass, and low volume. The dexterity needed to do everything from assemble electronics to fold clothing while sensing the subtleties of cotton versus synthetic threads is simply not possible with electronics while fitting in a reasonable size.

For example, just the motors, rotary encoders, and joints of a 6 degree of freedom robotic arm capable of lifting 20 kg (with a specialized tool, no hands or jointed fingers!) are 2-3 times the size of the average human arm without any of the sensing capabilities or dexterity. Beating a single human hand in pipetting at speed, for simple vertical movements, takes up even more space with the xyz ballscrews.

Obviously biological systems are much more limited in repeatability, endurance, compliance and so on, but those are the trade offs we get with technology.

Maybe on day we'll get artificial muscles and skin but that is all a long ways off and it might only ever be available to super rich.
True, and your overall point (that it is better than the alternative; i.e. viXra) stands. It's really one of those things where ymmv depending on the field- I just happened to notice a somewhat disheartening tendency for those sorts of horse trading practices to creep in, which is ultimately one of the major reasons why I left science.

I could be naive, but my impression was that there are almost too many degrees of freedom in the peer review process that could allow for this kind of chicanery, and that it would almost be preferable to have criteria for acceptance laid out in advance (i.e., exactly what steps, metrics, and citable articles were necessary) and use those the way an actuary would. In some ways I almost think that practices like preregistration serve as a better first-pass indicator of whether or not research is publishable.
I would love to see them do that. I traded up from an electric Focus that uses the standard chargers and they suck balls. The Tesla is amazing in comparison. Ionity can plan to have all these by 2020 but that doesn't mean they will. Meanwhile, Tesla is already planning upgrades to the Supercharger network and is also constantly adding new locations. I think Tesla will be the one that other EVs turn to and they'll probably have to license the standard.
This is a wonderful, subversive attack on now-pervasive Codes of Conduct.

IMO Universal Paperclips is one of the the best clicker games, even without the AI safety elements, because it has an end that is reachable in a reasonable amount of time.
As long as they try and control access to them with blacklisting and the like, this is not an advantage.

As somebody who will be in the market for a EV in the coming months, I've already discounted Tesla as an option for this reason.
> Do you have any unqualified Americans applying for your job? How little are you offering that European backpackers (who in my experience will work for a pittance) are asking three times what you're offering?

Bingo. I think you nailed OP’s problem right there. If you’re offering to pay in bananas, don’t be surprised when you get a line of monkeys out your door.
In the US they can't even be used because the plug is different. Even if it weren't the superchargers access Tesla's services to hand over payment information when you plug in.
If you're referring to Blink and Chargepoint chargers, then I'm not worried for Tesla at all. Both of these suck really badly and take forever to charge. I used to use these all the time for my electric Focus and would maybe get 20 miles charged in an hour. With my Tesla, I charged the car up to full in about 20 minutes and it sent me a text with 5 minutes left so I was able to grab a quick bite to eat.

It's funny you say that because that's the exact reason Superchargers exist. The other chargers in question charge incredibly slowly compared to a Supercharger. Teslas main advantage was that they had to foresight to realize that people wouldn't swap to electric vehicles unless they could have a similar experience to pulling up, filling up your tank, and driving off. A Supercharger is the closest thing - 0 to full in 20 to 25 minutes. The Blink/Chargepoint/WhateverElse networks are a full charge in 8 to 12 hours.
The sad part is that as soon as this original code of conduct became exposed to the wider world, after eight months of prior existence, a shitstorm immediately ensued, and they were pressured into adopting a more politically correct one.

Little late to edit. But...

Millions of people have escaped 3rd world poverty. It’s vastly easier for you people who can often relocate to more prosperous areas and or gain more valuable skills. Further when you talk about poverty it’s critical to understand the vast difference in living on ~2$ a day and 20$ a day in the same areas. 20$ a day can mean the ability to invest in their and their child’s future. That jump in many ways is the first rung on the ladder of prosperity, but it it a very meaningful step up.

That said, it’s very easy for people to fall into poverty. War, famine, disease, accident, etc all push people down.

The conduct is still impeachable even if he can declassify, explicitly or impliedly. (And I agree he can disclose whatever he wants to whomever he wants. But I also believe the Secretary of State has similar powers, albeit more narrowly circumscribed. Note that both Hillary Clinton and her predecessor, Colin Powell, used private e-mail servers.)

The phrase "high crimes and misdemeanors" means the opposite of what people intuitively think. Elected officials entrusted with state powers are held (or were at the time of the founding deemed to be held) to higher ethical and moral standards than regular citizens. A "high crime" would be misbehavior by someone in a high office. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_crimes_and_misdemeanors

Wantonly reckless behavior wrt to national security is, I would hope, indisputably impeachable. But in any event what's impeachable is entirely up to Congress as a practical matter--their decision is unreviewable except by the ballot box.

This makes no sense. Imagine a junior engineer forgetting to sanitize some inputs, leading to SQL injection. Should the CEO really be put in prison for that? Should the engineer be jailed?
It's almost there. A Supercharger can charge in about 20 minutes and the navigation in the car shows you food stops and amenities near the Supercharger and then sends you a push notification when the car is nearly completely charged. Considering that this experience is more rare than me being able to charge the car every night at home instead of having to stop at a gas station ever, I think the trade off is in Tesla's favor.
And those officials are...

Both candidates are in abundance. I know plenty of “engineers” who can’t do fizzbuz.

Neither of them are getting past today’s ultra picky interview-hazing rituals. One probably shouldn’t get hired while the other should. Companies seem to have a hard time distinguishing them.

I used to do contract pentesting for a big fortune 500 company, and they were able to cut all kinds of security corners because they knew people would perceive them as the victim. The person running our contract at the company said that the people making budget decisions know that at worst there'll be a small stock dip for 1-2 days in the event of a compromise, so they said it's not worth the money to actually have good security because the general public will just see the headlines and consider the company the equivalent of a robbery victim.

Why doesn't the engineer's manager require code reviews for all check-ins/patches before running in production? Why doesn't the CEO, or anyone between the CEO and the engineer, mandate that all engineers writing production code take courses in writing safer code (e.g. sanitize all input, no exceptions)? Why doesn't the CEO pay for code audits?

I wonder how many companies who have 'leaked' data recently are doing these things. Granted, it will never catch all bugs, but avoiding these things is negligence, which should be punishable.

I hear you. One issue is that most people use similar passwords for all their services, which yes is problematic and a travesty but that's how it is.

So getting someone's name and personal information (that yes, can also be used for identity theft) is not as bad as now having a list of names and passwords to try to use on bank websites, for example.

Anonymous sources do tend to be more trustworthy than named sources, actually.

That's because accountability isn't just dropped. Rather, the publisher's and the reporter's reputation replace that of the source.

And a journalist faces a far greater risk for making stuff up: where you could survive a lie or two as a politician or career official, a journalist's career is essentially over when.

Even the source actually faces more scrutiny when being quoted anonymously: when they are found to have lied, the journalist is no longer bound to their promise of confidentiality. When revealed to have fed lies to journalists, they face far more consequences because they exposed the journalist to such existential risks. The result is a loss of trust by exactly those people you need to shape the conversion. It's rather rare that any single issue is worth such risks to your career.
But the CEO can set a policy of deleting information that is not required, and making sure that policy is followed. Cathay Pacific could choose not to keep all that information.

feel-good statements that do not really get to the heart of the matter
