I think the Euros have perspectives that are just as valid as anyone else'. I mean, Americans get their ideas from the pop media too, and then we experience life through that lens. Americans are not somehow less susceptible to pop media influence than, say, Europeans, simply by virtue of being Americans. We are just as manipulated as they are. Probably more manipulated, since we consume more of our pop media.

The media changes the perspective of people. The perspective becomes the reality. Doesn't matter who those people are, or where they happened to grow up. The media you consume, shapes your perspective, which becomes reality for you. No one is immune to it. This is deeply ingrained psychological stuff. With several decades worth of study to back it up. (Along with countless billions in profits derived from exploiting that very human proclivity.)

To say that the European perspective is invalid because they didn't grow up here, would be like saying that Americans don't have valid perspectives on life in Europe or China, because we didn't grow up in any of those nations. Well, maybe we didn't, but we can have a perspective that is as valid as anyone else'. Doesn't make our perspective more "right" than anyone else', but I'd hardly say that our perspective on those nations is outright "wrong" just because we didn't grow up in them.
I'm not a huge fan of the Fermi paradox but if it has any validity, it would seem to suggest the problem is difficult to say the least.

I don't trust most of the networks I connect to. Home network - nope, I don't want to use Verizon's DNS servers; subway wifi - no; Coffee Shop - lol, no. Etc.

Why should I have to trust the network I'm connecting to? That seems like a major violation if the end to end principle. It's also just impractical.

If the overwheming majority of the wild trusts the networks they are connecting to, that seems like pretty good evidence that DoH or something like it has value.

Radix Labs | onsite (Cambridge, MA) | no remote | visa sponsor | engineering or marketing | 90-150k | equity

We are Radix Labs, and we build a compiler and operating system for the computer architecture expressed by a biology lab. We do this to allow biologists to disseminate their work in a runnable form to other labs. We're currently hiring Scala engineers and marketing specialists to help us with this.

We've just cleared our Seed round, with investors like MIT's The Engine, Y Combinator, and Firstminute capital. We're a rapidly growing team that could use a person like you. Even if you don't meet all of our requirements, we're happy to talk and see if we can work together.

Site: Radix.bio

Job 1:
Scala Engineer:
Our entire stack is in scala, from our compiler to our runtime implementation to our device drivers. We interface with sensors and lab equipment to provide abstractions that allow biologists to write their lab protocols as formal programs, constraining the acceptable environmental conditions in their protocol, which we check at compile time to provide error logs and insight into why protocols may not reproduce.

Job 2:
Marketing/Head of Sales

We're looking for a salesperson with experience in selling deeply technical products that provide business value, such as a database or log parsers. Experience in Enterprise SaaS is welcome, with a keen interest in research biology and the pharmaceutical industry. This person would manage our sales process to entities such as research labs in universities, small biotech companies, large biotech companies, and big pharma. We would rely on them to interpret user needs and deliver prioritized lists of features requested by customers for our technical team to build.

The standard "non-response" - I see this all the time, and even when pressed, and further assurances are given, nothing changes.

And nothing will change. Problems suffered by small numbers of individuals, perhaps even in the thousands, are completely irrelevant to companies such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and more. They don't care, won't care, can't afford to care, and nothing will change.

The brakes on an EV will last the life of the vehicle due to aggressive regeneration (even our Camry Hybrid, with almost 100k miles on it when it was totaled by a negligent driver, was still on the factory pads). Also, the brake system can be electrically actuated instead of with a hydraulic system. The 12v battery on Tesla vehicles is actually a deep cycle Li-ion battery in a traditional form factor (not lead acid); it's used for low voltage loads, and charged from the high voltage traction battery.

There is a shock ahead for the entire automotive supply chain. It is important we manage the human impact appropriately.

My least favorite thing about Hyper was whenever you split a window horizontally you would lose your cursor because it would be hidden "behind" the split pane above it, and then you would have to hit CTRL+C like 20 times or force some output to the screen.

I opened an issue for this 2 months ago[0] and the team hasn't responded yet.

I'm about ready to call it quits with Hyper (ConEmu has its own set of even worse bugs).

The problem with Terminus is it currently has no support for splitting windows, so if you want that behavior you would have to use tmux. Although now with Windows 18.03+ being out, tmux sessions persist after closing your terminal so maybe that's the best way to handle splitting windows.

If Gutenberg isn't an improvement for you with regard to client sites - NO, it is not an improvement for 50 out of 50 of our client sites. Not one person cares not 1 iota about it. It may actually break some of the custom themes some of them run, so it's the opposite.

"correctly per the WordPress specs" - this is like windows rolling out an update that breaks atom, sublime text, and others that were working well. Seriously.

We don't rely on page builders on 100 out of 120 sites. Some sites do have custom themes that incorporated rows for design, which may break with this update.

The sites that did rely on page builders were working great and had no need for Guten.

I've had the misfortune of having to maintain and extend a new WP install now, where we used Umbraco before. Literally everything about Umbraco was better except for two things:
1) the requirement to run on Windows
2) the number of available plugins was smaller

The number of plugins thing is offset by the reality that Umbraco plugins were generally higher quality across the board.

What you gain, though, is a sensible way to create a content structure/ component blocks and templates that work in a standard MVC way with a data model and views. WordPress on the other hand... I want to cry every time I look at a WordPress template, even when using improvements over the core like Roots provides with Bedrock and Sage. It's all imperative functions that modify state, global vars and functions, exceptions to remove all sorts of random bundled scripts and an outdated version of jQuery, just barf-ola.

And that's not even getting into the fact that by default it runs basically everything on every single request unless you install a third party caching plugin. Good luck loading config values or whatever on "startup" because the concept doesn't exist. Umbraco had a much higher level of performance out of the box, and could use generally the same additional caching techniques and performance techniques if you want to.

I truly think these types of CMSes are on their way out, as they tie the presentation layer directly to content management. The future, to me, is looking like Headless CMSes linked to a static site generator like Gatsby or React Static.

4 miles per KWh, you could easily get 4m^2 of panels on the thing. Past that is tricky. 4m2 * 0.22 * 8h ~= 7 kWh per day but you can clearly do better, 7 * 4 = 28 miles per day.

This is assuming high end 44% solar panels and optimal parking as ‘possible’. Basicly 185″ L x 73″ W = 8.7 m^2 in high end panels - windshield but covering sun roof. Then gaining back by covering sides and having a little overhang on sides. Then you’re talking closer to 8m2 * .44 * 8 = 28 kWh per day, or half that at a more reasonable 22% efficient.

PS: Redoing my calculations and yea ~30 miles with 22% panels depending on how mad max the setup vs something more legal.
I wonder if the space region in the interior of a black hole expands the same way as regular space around it.

If so, it would seem to be possible for a super massive black hole to be so big that it would be impossible to actually reach the singularity. If there is enough space the singularity would "move" faster than light. Essentially another event horizon within the black hole protecting travelers from the singularity.

This would lead to a stable universe like ours. Though about this a few days ago and it seemed like an interesting idea.
Understood.

It is expected that some places are better positioned for an EV switch than others. That's ok.

One thing of note: dense cities like NYC are less amenable to cars in general. And at the same time, driving distances tend to be less, and there is congestion, all of which benefit EVs(engine is not turning if you are not moving, draw from other systems is negligible). If you don't drive as much as someone commuting in the bay area, then you might be able to get away with topping off whenever you go to a mall or something like that. Chargers are appearing at public parking buildings too. Also do you park you car in the street at your workplace? If they have their own parking, that could also eventually be a charging location (as it is in many workplaces elsewhere).

As we speak, my car is charging at my employer's parking garage (it's actually shared between several buildings, but you get the picture). By the time I end my shift I'll just disconnect and go home. I haven't charged at home in more than one year(although I have the ability). In fact, Chargepoint tells me it's already charged.

This means that I don't have to take time off my schedule to go to a gas station, all because of my employer. Given the proximity, I only have to charge once a week or less.

If you also have to park in the street at your workplace, then it won't be as convenient. But then again, I think finding a parking spot should already be stressful enough as it is :)

Hold on for a while. Cities will adapt, they will have no choice.

Interesting. That's backwards for me. I usually wish I could go back in time and reformat what I'm saying multiple times as easy as I can move a text cursor. I also wish people wouldn't get impatient with me while I blabber nonsense until I can get my thoughts in order and spew out a few concise/complicated sentences that I'll need to repeat a few times with hand gestures for them to understand what I'm saying. I wish they could also go back in time and rehear what I said however many times they need. Heck, that goes for me, too. I wish I didn't need to ask people to repeat what they said so many times.

Bulldozer was less performant than its predecessor once you factor in the process node. That's why it was a disaster: AMD managed to design a worse processor and were stuck with it for years. They did make it less bad over time, but it still sucked.

It seems to me anecdata suggest the average hiring process lets through only a few duds.

It often feels to me like people are using that as a justification of the quality of their hiring practice. What's interesting is hiring practices vary greatly across the board but mostly in aggregate seem to produce this "we only ever got a few duds" result.

My hypothesis has now shifted to "most people can do most jobs". Or to restate it "There are only a few duds. Period. And hiring processes produce mostly random results. That's why we see a few duds come through."

The problem is finding them.

Back in the day, if I typed in "Radiohead" or "guitar pedal schematics" I would find forums or personal sites about these topics.

Now I will find (1.) Stores (2.) Content aggregators

Those niche forums and websites likely still exist, but it isn't obvious how to find them.

The ones I frequent are insulated from the wider internet. The fact that these places are absorbed into the structure of Reddit is a shame: while it's easier, the discussion is constrained by what is possible on the platform. Static content is difficult to maintain, like discussions of album errata or the history of some circuit.

This is probably just bias for the late-90s.

It's probably more that they're clearing out the old chips before launching their 7nm-based Zen2 Epyc chips next quarter. They've already sampled out to hyperscalers.

But, generally, Epyc does have some deficiencies. It's essentially NUMA-on-a-package, and each NUMA node is itself essentially a pair of 4-core processors jammed together (each with its own cache, with all the usual problems that brings). That doesn't work for everything... for example GPGPU compute doesn't really like to be split across NUMA. Inter-core and memory latency is also much higher than on Intel platforms. Intel is playing with much larger building blocks, their die is 28C and they can scale up to 8 sockets, while AMD has 32C per package they can only scale up to 2 sockets because they are actually four dies inside already (both systems scale to 8 dies).

A lot of stuff is fine with those tradeoffs, particularly the stuff you use server processors for. And it's pretty cute if you want a lot of storage or lanes. And it's pretty cheap to manufacture due to their smaller dies (although of course TCO is much larger than just the cost of the CPU). But it's not for everyone.

Next quarter they're moving to 8 dies in a package, on 7nm, with updated AVX2 and probably support for the AVX-512 instruction set (at half throughput).

The other thing to note when doing a compare and contrast is that China is a high savings country with no shortage of capital. Maybe in the very beginning of the reform and opening era they did but it hasn't been the case for over two decades. US on the other hand is the largest importer of capital in the world. So it can be expected that China with its thirsts for know-how and market access but not capital will behave very differently from the US, all else being equal. This is generally true for other East Asian countries as well.

"a guarded prison camp in which nonmilitary prisoners are held, esp one of those in Nazi Germany in which millions were exterminated"

"A place for assembling and confining political prisoners and enemies of a nation. Concentration camps are particularly associated with the rule of the Nazis in Germany, who used them to confine millions of Jews (see also Jews) as a group to be purged from the German nation. Communists, Gypsies, homosexuals, and other persons considered undesirable according to Nazi principles, or who opposed the government, were also placed in concentration camps and eventually executed in large groups. ( See Holocaust.)"

> to want to pay Ford what Ford imagines its existing investments in obsolete technology are worth.

Why would they do that? I didn't mean to suggest a regular acquisition (i.e. company X buys out company Y's outstanding shares to become the majority shareholder); I meant to suggest that these companies will likely enter Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, followed by an acquisition by a PE firm that parts the company out and sells its assets to other firms, where the brand of the old company is one of those assets, and the assembly lines are another, and the same company might want to acquire both, or just one.

Keep in mind, also, that when you buy a factory, you aren't buying the technology that runs the factory. You'd strip that out and replace it. No, you're buying the real estate, the buildings themselves, the central location close to shipping. (Which might not even be legally allowed to exist due to current zoning laws for the region, but is only grandfathered in or uniquely lobbied in to "protect local jobs.") And you're buying the pre-established arrangements with logistics providers (ports, over-land carriers, etc.) to get cars from that factory to destination cities; and the pre-established arrangements with suppliers to get regularly-scheduled shipments of raw materials like aluminum alloys, thermoplastics, minerals and lacquers to mix paint from, etc. to the factory.

It's the same reason that, say, Target wanted to acquire Zellers in Canada. There was nothing of value in any given Zellers store or warehouse; what was valuable was the real-estate and the logistics pipeline connecting the stores to the warehouses. (Target failed in Canada, but that was because they began leasing the real estate long before they were ready to begin operating the stores, just to ensure nobody else jumped on the deal. So they started with a giant debt from months of paying rent.)

This is true on iOS as well, just it is on almost every other operating system: you don't get to expand your privileges by being able to generate code because said code still runs in your process. There's no "broken security model" here; in a sense iOS has a much stronger security model than Android does because all code that gets executed can be statically verified beforehand.
