So there aren't any cameras on public transport, or at the stations? Or on any of the buildings you walk past? Or at any of the stores you enter, or on light/power poles on public streets?

I haven't kept up with EU currency security features, but I remember reading how they keep trying to put RFID chips/fibers in them for tracking. They're currently using magnetic ink[1] that can be read via scanners as you walk past. There might be other tracking features that aren't disclosed.

> Some areas of the euro notes feature magnetic ink. For example, the rightmost church window on the €20 note is magnetic, as well as the large zero above it.

I don't think you're as anonymous as you think, even with all of the steps you've taken.

Drone CI announces native Kubernetes support
I’ve seen that and it misses the mark by a mile because the main performance constraint is MFT contention.

You can see this because the tools suck just as bad on native windows as on WSL without that in between.

Check out 10,000 small files on (1) NT native SVN, (2) WSL on Windows, (3) Linux on ext4.

1 and 2 are within 10% of the time delta. 3 is 10x faster at average.

At this point I reckon they won’t fix NT but close the gap on NT and forget to mention the MFT problem.

I’ve dealt with this issue going back 20 years since NT4 for ref.
“Digital nomads”, like many modern “disruptive” industry’s, tend to ignore pesky things like laws

Being found to be breaching your visa conditions, especially in a pre-meditated way, is somewhat worse than being kicked out of an Airbnb.

I'm curious as to your mentality here? - you make it sound like a real chore to learn machine learning, but also that it's something you want to get into.

I've found that if I want to get into something, it's a real pleasure to research, learn, tinker - that is my entertainment & relaxation.
Running it in the kernel removes the overhead of context switching into the kernel for I/O (and other things), so it could be faster. Although as this post says, right now it's only running in user space.
> For design you have to have an artistic nature.

I know what you mean, but I now read "artistic nature" as making subjective/arbitrary decisions that for some unknown reason a lot of people favor.

Though by the way I read d0m's comment, it seems like there's a fair amount of objectivity in graphic design as well. Lots of logic: If you need to design something, it's because you have a goal and you need to make every decision in that design further take you to that goal. Gotta pick a color for something? Your goal means influencing people? What's your target audience? Pick a color that's statistically known to elicit the emotions in your target audience that lead you to your goal.
The $1.3M homes in Mountain View are also 60-70 year old post-war construction of roughly 800-1000 sq ft. A duplex will run you about $1.9M here. New townhomes are roughly $1.6-1.7M. The sort of house that would be considered a modest suburban middle-class dwelling in most other places go for about $2.2-2.4M; a "nice house" (like the one my sister paid $550K for in the Houston metropolitan area) goes for around $6M and can only be had in the wealthy towns like Los Altos Hills or Atherton.

Yes, this is basically an extreme outlier for the U.S. I was surprised to find that it's actually pretty reasonable compared to many urban areas in the world, though - cities like Sydney, Vancouver, Hong Kong and Shanghai are rapidly climbing past Silicon Valley in housing unaffordability.
It would be a circuitous route to take the Altamont pass, then go south to San Jose, and up the Peninsula to SF. The plan is to use the Caltrain tracks to travel between San Jose and SF.
> IE browser settings

Those are the OS web settings. As used by all OS services, e.g. BITS (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/bits/backgr...) and the Live Tile updater; and any app that doesn't embed its own network stack (e.g. Steam, most Mail apps, etc.)

People just think of this control panel as "the IE browser settings" because people use Firefox and Chrome, which do embed most of a network stack (for portability), and therefore ignore most of the OS network settings in favor of their own embedded configuration-points.
So it sounds like building your network is a more valuable thing to do than study for all-day interviews.

It's a bit frustrating to see a comment that starts with a single, incomprehensible, verbless statement like "entropy." I know what entropy is, and I could give you three different senses for the word, but it's not a particularly illuminating thing to think about here and I'm clueless about how this connects to the rest of the comment.

I think what you're doing is taking your existing understanding of how a processor works, and saying that you could figure it out, given an actual processor. But that's begging the question. You have a definition for what a "bit" is, and what a "byte" is, and since you know what they are you can go on a hunt within a physical system and label things as "bit" and "byte". But I could come in and start labeling certain things "function pointer" or "float", and I don't see a particularly compelling reason why that's not allowed, but labeling things as "bit" or "byte" is allowed.

Or in other words, why is, "I know how synchronous digital circuits work and I can figure out a processor" acceptable, but "I know how compilers work and I can reverse engineer a program" prohibited?

And I'll still say that the statement that, "Typed programming languages don’t exist," is not even wrong. It's just a cute thing that you can say, to demonstrate that you can choose a definition for "exist" or "typed programming languages" that makes it needlessly difficult to have a conversation.
It's pretty relevant to the discussion of "why would you want to run wasm in the kernel", but I'm not too worried about the votes.

The most interesting thing about China in that respect isn't that some parts of China aren't up to par with what you see in the US, UK, Germany, Sweden, or wherever in the developed world. It would be expected to take a long time to accomplish that, assuming it's possible for so many people to hit that standard of living at all.

It's the truly extraordinary imbalance between the top ~100 million and the bottom 1.3 billion.

~200 million people living on $3 per day. And 800+ billionaires at the top. ~500 million people living on $10 per day or less, and two million millionaires at the top.

It's a proclaimed Communist nation with the greatest inequality the world has ever seen. It simultaneously has a large quantity of among the richest people and the poorest people on earth, a very strange arrangement. The surprising thing is that China hasn't been far more aggressive when it comes to welfare redistribution. They could easily implement wealth taxes if they desired.
Two of my friends came down with whooping cough in their 40's. Both at the same time. So one got it, passed it to the other. Both previously vaccinated.

Failure to vaccinate should result in intervention by CPS and the parents placed on a watch list.
> Also yes, AMD's memory subsystem has much lower latency

Out of interest, what do you mean by this? Are you talking Zen1 or Zen2, because in my experience playing with Zen1 EPYC the memory latency was worse than Xeon Broadwells, and on top of that you had worse NUMA issues that could affect certain cores which weren't directly attached to the memory and this added additional latency more than on the Xeons I was comparing against.
One could also think of it in terms of the the amount of "magic" required to make the simplification work.

I'm not interested in eating less meat so we can grow the population more. It's not a cost issue. Why do we want a population size that requires people to cut back on quality of life?
Why is food grow not stuck up vertically? I mean let's go 3D, since at least majority of vegetables and most fruits do not need more than height of 2 feet of space.

It also surprised me how old school modern farming still remains. Look at the first picture from this article: a bunch of modern tractors unnecessarily burning oil, unnecessarily operated by humans. By now this should be three times the size field with 15 levels up, run by 3D seeds/soil/water/plants/etc sampling throw out from automatically replaceable cartridge/dispenser.

We have long way to go, but certainly we don't need more land to grow; we need more technology in place!

Edit: should have mentioned it - even going vertical you can still use natural light! Its a matter of setting up bunch of mirrors reflecting sunlight. Of course you need sun to grow.

I'm involved in a study of vaccinations. One good thing I'm seeing is that many peds clinics, if you are a pure, down the line anti-vaxxer, will politely ask you to choose another provider.
This is touched on in Pinker's "Enlightenment Now." The current trendy "organic" label requires more land to grow the same amount of food. Whatever benefits of so-called organic farming you perceive, if any, it is a regression in terms of feeding the world's growing population.
It could be easily replaced by a c:\Windows\etc folder full of .ini files and it'd be a vast improvement.

They don't just endanger their own health, they endanger us all. Some people can be carriers but not be symptomatic for a pathogen, so they can be walking around spreading a disease like measles but not even know it. With high herd immunity this is not much of a problem because almost all of the people with whom they come into contact will be vaccinated and not catch the disease before the carrier's body eventually fights it off, but with low herd immunity they become a major problem.

If humanity has not evolved a natural defense to these diseases after thousands of years it is not going to happen by some anti-vaxer volunteering to be an evolutionary petri dish. Actually, now that I think of it, humanity has already evolved a defense against these diseases -- by evolving a big brain it figured out how to develop vaccines...

You should study. You still have to have the chops to pass a full-day onsite. Having a contact from your network trying to bring you in just cuts down on the amount of pointless hoop-jumping.

Building and maintaining a professional network is something you should be doing all the time. If you wait until you need a job to network you are doing it wrong.
Many countries write their immigration laws in a way that allows immigration for people who will bring money/skills into the country. Some going so far as giving citizenship to people who invest enough in money into their economy.

Tax issues aside, people working remotely for a company based in another country would be a pretty clear source of incoming money into an economy, with very little added in terms of the kind of governmental infrastructure support that would usually needed to entice companies to locate/relocate there.

I'm not saying that's the way the laws are written; just that I could easily see a reason that it would makes sense to allow it.
As a vegetarian that actually doesn't like many vegetables (I don't like bell peppers, for example, which severely limits my options) and who was a huge carnivore before going veggie ( and with more than one hunter in the family): I see two groups of meat eaters.

Group A, who just like the taste and texture of meat. For them, a variety of substitutes that adequately matched would suffice. As of today, we have many fake meats that do a good job of matching the taste/texture of HEAVILY PROCESSED meats (e.g. turkey loaf), but not matching more straightforward meats. Likely vat-grown meat will be the only reasonably quick way to match both demands for the general population. Outside of that as more research is done into faux meats to match tastes and textures we will presumably get there, and as meat alternatives become more popular there is a feedback loop where research gets more widespread and has a better ROI, so maybe it's not so far off, but I personally wouldn't bet on it. Expense is a big deal to this group, as they basically want to be content (food-wise) with minimal effort, so meat alternatives that are familiar and not expensive is not a difficult transition, particularly if meat becomes more expensive. Making it low-effort to know what you are getting also helps. Currently meat alternatives are completely separate from meats in the store, and the delivery very different. (a box of burgers or a bag of crumble, for example, vs the pile of ground beef).

Group B, who are invested into the particulars of meat. These are the ones who will debate for hours the precise way to grill the perfect steak. Like with audiophiles who complain of qualities I can't hear, I have to assume they aren't delusional, but it doesn't really matter for the purpose of your question. This group is unlikely to be satisfied by vat-grown meat, outside of random luck. I don't see this group changing within their lifetimes, though they can be swayed to alter portion sizes. Honestly, the best way to REDUCE meat consumption is to avoid angering this group - they can take meat becoming a bit more expensive and more of a luxury without a fuss, but if it looks like meat were to be banned or too expensive they would react with all the furor you can expect from someone losing something they are passionate about. And their message would resonate with Group A, because Group A is just looking to be content like they currently are, so change represents risk, not benefit. This means the goals of REDUCING meat consumption and REMOVING meat consumption are at odds with one another.

If you have ethical motivations, none of the above is fast and vat-grown meat research has its own ethical questions, but I don't see a realistic fast alternative that doesn't involve mass suffering (to more than humans) due to uncontrolled events.

That's an ethical defense. We can disagree about the costs and benefits of abortion or genetic engineering, but purely based on principles I don't see how you can defend non-medically indicated abortion but not genetic engineering.

> I feel that high schools in the US and elsewhere would be better if they taught consumer electronics repair rather than shop class.

Yikes, I hope you're joking! The cost of manufacturing consumer electronics has gone down so much that it's virtually impossible to have a viable repair business in the US - perhaps high-end laptops, Apple products, and very straightforward, limited repairs like phone screen repair, but that's about it.

As another anecdotal data point, I volunteer in a thrift store, and by far the hardest donation to sell is electronics - most of the time we just trash/recycle it, even if it is in very good condition. People aren't willing to pay very much at all for tech that is even just a couple years old. Thus, if the average age of a piece of electronics needing repair is, say, 2 years, by that point the product will have probably depreciated most of its value. At that point the vast majority of people will just buy the latest and greatest.

I'm not a lawyer but I'm a Canadian who worked in the US on TN and H1 visas.

For Canadians, you should seriously consider a TN visa. There are no limits to the number of them, and you don't even apply for them, you just 'qualify'. You can't even get the paperwork done ahead of time, you just do it at the airport on the way down.

Essentially so long as you are doing a specific kind of work, and your employer is not paying you below industry average, you get a letter from them, you show your degree (you need a real copy of it) - you get a stamp that's good for a year - you can do this up to 6 years I think.

Again, I'm not a lawyer but that was my experience you should look into TN visas as they are very low cost and you don't need really need any expertise or legal consultation. No waiting either. If you meet the requirements you should be good to go.
