I'd imagine integrated channels for liquid or evaporative cooling would work quite well. Something like a 100 micron diameter tube every square mm or so is in principle totally doable.

Obviously a non-trivial engineering challenge but nothing breaking the laws of physics.
While I think most for-profit colleges are predatory, I also believe the ones that provide a technical skill such as nursing or dental hygienist can be beneficial to the students and society.
Since the instructions quoted refer to rewarding team members on projects with things like t-shirts, the impression I got from the article is: most of them.

Regardless: I was responding to a point upthread about the supposed rarity of these arrangements. I'm less interested in litigating other things.
who are you advocating for here? if you're actually concerned for the servers, you might consider asking some of them for their opinion on tipping. most servers that I've talked to (including myself) actually like the system.
Interesting approach. Can you share your code?
With currencies there are no shares so the mechanics are quite different. Currencies come in pairs so you don't just short the pound, instead you bet that the euro will increase in value relative to the pound. So in this case you are long the euro and short the pound.

> How can you brag about the fact that a software engineer who knows security is worth more on the market, then try to claim that every engineer needs to know how to write highly secure code? Those are incompatible ideas.

Software developers who have the abilities they should are more valuable than those who . . . don't. That doesn't seem controversial.

I don't think it's an unrealistic number. The guy hacked the system and downloaded information, distributing that which caused the stock price to dip. Tesla has a definitive loss. What that exact number is could be up to debate, but just because the defendant is a person instead of a company does not diminish the level of damage done to Tesla.
It fits with his role as executive producer of "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey", it really seemed to me to be a part of preserving Sagan's legacy.
Well, that was 14 years ago. It's hard to remain on your outraged and righteous path when you start getting fat checks for it (see also Black Mirror s1e2, "Fifteen Million Merits").

Sounds like one of several backup plans to make decently powerful CPUs next year despite dropping the ball on the 10nm process; it's probably mature technology, slightly anticipated from its planned debut (did you notice the slides mentioning the 10nm process?).

In sadly related news, the presentation of "Sunny Cove" CPUs (which might or might not use these packaging techniques) mentions the 14nm process but not the 10nm or 7nm ones, brazenly proclaims an "age of architecture", lists boring incremental improvements and doesn't even try to discuss performance, core count or power efficiency.
The little typer
I'm going to start sounding like I work for them, but Google already allows you to disable targeted advertising entirely, and Facebook at least let's you disable targeting for the vast majority of things (the major exceptions being age, gender, location, and the content of the page if I recall correctly).
In theory, I don't mind advertising or machine learning based recommendations that is a nice mix of "here's more of the same" and "hey, how about this from left field". I think Spotify for instance has a good mix of this. My biggest issue, aside for privacy concerns, is the efficacy of these systems. If I could get some nice gift ideas before purchase that would be great -- if these systems could realize that I made this purchase as a gift and don't want it added to the model they have on me that would be great, these systems just really seem hit or miss right now.
Yes, the proper solution here is definitely for people to give Facebook money to not insult them. The disruptor hivemind delivers again.
Many people seem to agree with you so they should probably change it even though I must admit that it's not that obvious to me.

That being said I'm also not really sure what it's supposed to look like anyway (is it an L?) so it's probably worth changing for that as well.
Cough.., Slavery v2.0

Honestly, I don't really see how people cannot see it as anything other than exploitation of human life. Maybe homeless people exist so it's less obvious and is why the government has never done anything to make that go away.

That article appears to talk about whether it is insider trading to trade on information that originated with a public company (insiders) and privately sold - including sales information that hasn't been reported yet in public filings.

There are serious questions about whether that, under US law, would be considered insider trading as it appears to be just that.

Simply owning a single share of stock in a company does not make one an insider. An insider, in the US, is someone who either works for the company, owns more than 10% of a company or has some other kind of fiduciary duty to the company. Insider trading can include anyone trading on any information from insiders even if they themselves aren't.

Mind, this is different in other countries.

It looks like the author thought the ads were useful when the pregnancy was progressing normally, even clicking on at least one of them. The reason these ads are lucrative is that she is not the only person who found the ads useful.
A more relevant question for me is whether it is possible to provide 80 % of your time to 'actual work' and yet have a fulfilling and successful career. Especially if you are introvert, not able to sell yourself, not using fancy jargon.

I'm extremely skeptical if my anecdote has any value since I'm very young and only worked in a couple companies. But in the current company I'm working (which I've been working the last 7 months) we really don't have office politics. So, I suppose the answer to title is yes?
This isn't because it's "cool." It's a side effect of higher wages in some cities. Restaurants can only raise prices so much, so they find ways to get by with less staff instead.

But I somewhat prefer this way, actually, since you can leave quicker.

I haven't heard of any cases where the money doesn't go to staff, have you? That seems rather illegal.

I switched interest based ads off on Google a few times, and also tried using YouTube while logged out. It’s pure trash.

When you opt out of interest based ads you actually opt in to their inventory of worst content imaginable. There’s no middle ground.
There is a REST API, yes [0]. Currently you send snappy-compressed protobufs[1] containing yours log to a HTTP endpoint.

We initially started using fluentd as the agent, but we found its metadata "enrichment" facilities weren't reliable enough - we'd get log lines without the pod tags, for instance. For something like Loki, which depends really heavily on the metadata for index, this was super important. So we wrote promtail.

Eh. People mocked Google's name when they were gaining dominance. "Sounds like baby noise, not a serious company" seemed to be the dominant take of those with that view at the time.

I think there's something to three-word names being less memorable than shorter ones, especially when there isn't a clearer hint to function built in.

That is a funny story. I used to dial into BBS' with modem commands.
You could learn the screech patterns pretty well to know if something goofed before the computer did. Modem command sets are still quite prolific and if you ever mess with a M2M LTE module you will be right back in it.
NamePros user, Thelma, made a good point:

> The story of Microsoft floating a significant loan to Apple in order to keep Apple solvent in the late '90's is well-known. Microsoft didn't do so out of altruistic impulse; they did so to decrease the odds they'd be the target of anti-trust legislation. I'm sure the c-suite at Google is very aware of that history lesson, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a more likely anti-trust target than Google. Alphabet was a proactive effort to stay ahead of that curve. This is another. It's also why I suspect they either gifted Duckduckgo the domain, or sold it at a modest price. Even if they squeezed Duckduckgo for every penny they could and maximized the duck.com sale price, that's a penny in the couch for Google, and of insignificant benefit, compared to the license to print money that they maintain as a monolith.

It made me wonder if ente.de is in use (Ente is Duck in German). It is .. and it's full of 90s Internet.
Oh man, this reminds me of a time that I got into trouble. We had a phone system (Isotech 228, IIRC) that had these boxes call OPXIs that let standard telephone equipment connect to the phone system. They provided talk battery and ring voltage.

We had a modem tied to an OPXI, which required that our dial strings in Telit (remember that? I liked it better than Procomm) start with "91,", which was 9 for an outside trunk, then 1 to select a trunk, then a comma for a pause. Then the phone number of the BBS site.

The OPXI messed with the newer modem speeds. One Friday I decided that we didn't really need the OPXI if I bridged the modem with the fax line, so I did.

I didn't tell anyone. That was a mistake.

Monday morning I showed up for work and my boss (the chief engineer and president) called me into his office. Uh oh.

He said, "Did you remove the OPXI from the modem line in the lab?" "Yes." "Why?" "Because we didn't need it."

He then told me about how he came in on Saturday, finished up some PCB artwork and went to dial into the board fabricator's BBS to upload the files (long distance), and kept getting failures to connect. He tried it a bunch of times before he heard banging on the front door. He went to the front and there were multiple police officers outside. They said there were multiple 911 hangups from this location and wanted to know why. He swore that he was the only one there and there were no 911 calls. They then wanted to come in and look around the building, so he let them.

After they left, he put it all together. The dial strings were set up to dial 91,1-areacode-phonenumber which dialed 911 emergency without the OPXI in the path.

He verified that the OPXI was no longer in the loop and was ticked off. He knew immediately who did it.

He said, "Things you do to systems other people use can have unintended consequences. Please think those things completely through in the future."

Good advice, and I still hear his voice in my head today when I'm reconfiguring something.
Well you argued (without providing any references) that Norwegian "styrbord" was probably from Old German. Given your example of Viking longboats I find it far more likely that the word is from Old Norse.

Hence Germanic is correct, but German highly unlikely.

Given the history of the British isles, I would also venture that English is more influenced by Old Norse than Old German.
Why not leave out "max -" and maximize instead of minimize?
Google owned the domain because they acquired a company that used to be named "Duck Corporation" and predated DuckDuckGo.

A few months ago, DuckDuckGo asked for the domain, Google agreed to give it to them for free, and the transfer took place today.

That doesn't really seem like squatting, at least not how the term is generally used.
This was such early days in web hosting that nobody thought that was an option. It was a little like the early days of Twitter where you just assumed the web site would be down as often as not.
In the case of Charlemont, they're working with Westfield Gas & Electric, which has already designed and installed municipal fiber for its own town (Whip City Fiber) and has designed fiber installations for several other cities in Western MA.

Charlemont has studied the issue for years and are working with an organization that took the time over years to test out municipal fiber in the own community by creating "fiberhoods" and now is covering 70% of Westfield.
Declarative syntax is notoriously hard to debug, especially for newbies.

As a general rule, if you're giving someone a tool that uses declarative syntax, you also need to provide them a private (not shared) sandbox in which to test out theories, try new things, and reproduce errors seen in production.

Since we don't have that, TF is pretty much the worst solution for our problems. Kube or even Docker Swarm would serve us much better.
You should probably make an anonymous-accessible demo (a guest account, a video or some screenshots). Having to sign-up just to evaluate the look, the feel and the functionality is a turn-off.

How Box A/B tested its culture
Site is slow right now, but got results after some waiting.

From this video[1] (one of their given demos), it generated this result[2]. From this other video[3] (another of their demos), it generated this result[4]. All used the default settings.

Was frankly disappointed. They mention “neural style transfer” and whatnot, but the results looks only slightly better than what you’d get by applying default photoshop filters from a decade ago, probably longer. ImageMagick can also achieve something similar[5].

The extracted frames, including their sizes and positioning, don’t look like anything special. The final layout was the same for both tries, meaning they’re probably not doing anything to detect/convey a better sense of the story. In that sense, the result is as much a comic as any other random sequence of photographs (comics don’t need to be drawings) divided into squares.

It’s a neat demo, but I’m failing to understand why it is part of a larger academic paper. Seems like the whole effect could have been achieved over a decade ago with a bash script glueing ffmpeg and imagemagick.

Before clicking to look at the comments, I totally thought this was about some interesting creation mythos with a character that taught humanity how to harness wood from nature to build the first wood dwellings.

I mean, that's totally something that could feasibly get posted to HN and do well.
But every ad network ive ever worked with already allows you to define categories of people you specifically don't want to show your ads to.

It's on the shopders of the ad creator to set that up though. I did read a comment one time that said the companies might be doing it on purpose, to "reaffirm" you made the right choice going with their product. Not sure how true that is, but it might factor in.
My partner and I use "let me quack that" instead of "let me Google it".
Is he paying for that advertising or are journalists voluntarily giving him publicity?

Big difference here. When I read the news I freely subject myself to what the journalists of my choice considered newsworthy.

I have little say in what kind of ads I'm bombarded with, as OP demonstrated and banksy implied.
Prepared statements tend to be the best answer for most cases which is similar to the approach you describe but is natively supported by most SQL dialects and also improves performance.

In my experience, many developers and even experienced security engineers can fail to give this answer though.
It's impossible to have anything involving people that doesn't have some kind of 'politics'.

- Into Thin Air

I hate how Google has become a verb and I don't want to see another one named after a company. I miss the days of Lycos, Hotbot, Dogpile, Excite and where you could search for terms on different engines and get different results.
That reminded me of this speech by Jeff Bezos to Princeton:

“Jeff, one day you’ll understand that it’s harder to be kind than clever.”

It really had an impact on me.
I would be amused if DDG flipped the domain for cash.
Whats hard about saying "Its a search engine like google, only it doesn't track you. Try it."?
Very interesting perspective. I think stories like yours are why I believe in the ideas behind the diversity effort going on in tech right now. As a black male I've definitely interacted with these platforms and just have been puzzled by the outcomes.

On the other hand I wonder, would you be okay with these ad networks being able to identify you as transgender? And then tailoring ads towards you? I'm sure there are things that are still interesting to you post-transition.
Were your clients software (or software-adjacent) companies like Google, Intel, Facebook, etc., or companies who usually do not employ software development teams?

Also, since I know who you are, did your firm supply highly specialized engineers in fields such as security or cryptography?
Or were you involved in general software development?
Smart!

Kinda silly that it's required, but a good and super-cheap solution. Thanks.
Same syllables sure but there has to be a hard stop between the two syllables since b and s can’t be strung together.
I once heard that that is at least partially intentional in order to reassure the customer that it was a wise purchase. To prevent post-purchase regret and cancellation.

Almost two years ago I started writing my short posts on a similar premise on my blog https://arcticloon.fi. In fact, as of today, I'm four days short of writing every day for two whole years.

And all this time I have been writing alone, mostly for myself. I do have a few loyal followers and I see some random readers every now and then.

I think a community of other writers would be a great next step for me, so maybe I'll join in. But I'm not sure if I'd like to switch my writing and publishing platform just yet. Hope it's ok for me to keep writing on my own site and copy the texts over. Who knows, maybe in time I'll switch over. Or even better start writing on both places every day, doubling my output.
I gave up as well.
No, I don't think the story is looking for comfort from Facebook ads. I am pretty sure she is looking for Facebook not to add to the pain and just get out of any conversation she is having with those that support her. That's the point of the letter.

Frankly, if you are an advertiser and know your ads are being served to someone who, through tragedy, cannot use your product and instead are now part of a thousand cuts treatment, you should be pretty offended yourself.
