About said longevity, it was my understanding that parrots (most birds?) commonly get arthritis in their wings as they age. This is a fatal condition to a flying lifestyle. Given that, is their longevity in captivity really a surprise?

In Germany enigneer ("Ingenieur") is a protected profession title and I was granted the right to use it with my B.Sc. in Compsci (though a B.Sc. in Germany is also a lot more focused than undergrad in US afaik).
I have no idea how many people in IT use the enigneer title without being entitled to, because in contrast to e.g. construction engineers there is no "Kammer" (guild?) for software engineers.

There is also higher need for programmers ("developers") than for actual engineers.

Nothing wrong with family funded business but if after 18 years the 'dad' is the major shareholder it's a bad sign they were not able to raise much outside capital.

It's not so bad, most companies are not 'high flying' but if they have 'startup culture' ... maybe not such a great thing.

Also - family companies can be odd. It very much depends on the situation.

An 18 year old company should simply not be referring to itself as a 'startup' and they should have at very least be settling into some kind of routine. It's fine if there isn't hypergalactic growth - but something fundamental should be there.

My comment is that blanket statements here are inappropriate, and I certainly don't imagine there are only two states a cat can exist in. There are many, many breeds of cats and cats have distinct personalities. Statements like 'contradicts their nature' cannot be made about something as broad as 'all cats', because there are so many natures being discussed.

One tricky thing I've noticed when trying to hire ML people is that it's very difficult to tell when someone is okay at ML and when someone is great at ML from their past projects. Because machine learning is just statistics, it is often resilient to errors in design and implementation. You can mess things up and still get reasonable (but suboptimal) results.

This means that someone can easily claim "this problem is difficult to learn for machines" when they fail or claim "we got X% accuracy look how great we are!" when they do okay. But a really good engineer or scientist would have succeeded in the same task, or have gotten X+10% accuracy with the right models, data, or engineering.

And you are kind of illustrating my point. Building a house requires a lot of additional considerations. Like what kind of daylight you get in different rooms, that maybe the toilet shouldn’t be in direct connection to the dining area, how the kids’ rooms are located relativ to the living room. And you will probably have to redo 70% of the work with the kitchen if you don’t start with making sure that the plumbing is in place. (Someone who knows more about houses than I do can come up with much better examples. For this exact reason I’m consulting an architect before I start renovating my house, even though I’m perfectly competent to both remove and put up a drywall myself.)

Of course people learn with experience, and luckily redoing things in software development is cheap compared with when building houses. But that’s the only reason we get away with it.

My point is, we would build better and cheaper systems if we from the start acknowledge that we have to take into account completely different sets of considerations when we move up the scale. A shed isn’t just a big box, a house isn’t just a big shed, etc.

If that were true then we should expect the US to have a significantly lower rate of crime than other Western democracies given that:

the United States had by far the highest reported rate of incarceration in the world. Today,
adult incarceration rates of the Western European democracies average around 100 per 100,000, and in the common law countries of Australia and Canada, the rates are only slightly higher. The U.S. rate in 2012 was seven times higher, at 707 per 100,000.[1]

For this to be possible the US must have been incarcerating more people, for longer, than other countries, which by your logic would reduce the rate of crime.

I was under the impression it was widely accepted that increased severity of punishment had only a small effect on rates of crime. The report I've referenced seems to agree.

Bird Chargers are people who charge Bird e-scooter for rewards. They take Birds with low battery from the streets, charge them, and release them the next morning to collect their rewards. Each Bird has a different reward for charging. The company's reward algorithm seems to give higher reward for Birds that have been abandoned for a longer time. So the Bird chargers can just take Birds, "abandon" them in their backyard, wait until their rewards reach maximum, finally they will charge them and release them to get max rewards.

Quite like farming, really.

The idea that Intel is “RISC under the hood” is too simplistic.

Instructions get decoded and some end up looking like RISC instructions, but there is so much macro- and micro-op fusion going on, as well as reordering, etc, that it is nothing like a RISC machine.

(The whole argument is kind of pointless anyway.)

This is, indeed, a very hard problem to solve. The only option I see is banning somehow by law/agreement, and taking legal actions to people who 'steal' them. But in that case they would just stack them outside the house...

You could ban people who charge bikes to use them (it is as weird as if an uber driver couldn't use uber as a passenger).

> Remember when the EU was just supposed to be a trade union rather than an organization that can pass laws that effect every person in Europe?

The EU was never supposed to be just a trade union, that's a key distinguishing difference between the EU and the EEC. (Though even the EEC was in large part motivated by a long-term vision of a United States of Europe.)
It seems like Bird has a program that pays people to charge their scooters overnight.

On paper, it seems like the idea is that if you were in this program and you found a scooter, you could take it home with you, charge it, then drop it off on a curb somewhere the next day and you'd be paid for charging it.

In reality, they didn't account for how people actually behave. So people are picking up scooters and "keeping" them in their apartments/houses to let the batteries drain more(?), until it gets to a point where charging it would be most profitable.

Maybe after hitting $20 the price goes down for charging after that. Or never letting the charging fee get beyond $8........
I read the whole post and did not get that impression. I thought it was a pretty good write-up explaining the concept of a “partition attack” on Bitcoin (and in distributed systems in general). I had not previously been aware of this form of attack.

Sure the author linked to his service, but I believe the intent was to show that if a government could recognize the signature of encrypted traffic and block it, then it would only be easier to block portions of bitcoin transactions.

Which ultimately paves the way for a bad actor to block large portions of external transactions, while allowing local transactions, then unblock transactions, which given a sufficiently large control of the network could “undo” other external transactions, in what was described as a partition attack. Thus ultimately result in the loss of trust in Bitcoin.

Golang's not being an opinionated software is the main reason I was not able to passionately start learning this software. Most of the engineers have a bit of a picture in their mind when it comes to implement a specific function. But when the question comes "what is the best way of implementing it in Golang?" then unfortunately the answer is "Do as you want". This prevents me learning the power of language from the beginning.

Being opinionated is about onboarding people with the best experience from the experts of the language, then let people overwrite or choose their own way of doing things when they know what they are doing.

It rather seems to me that Bird would know where the scooter was being charged, and where it was accumulating value in a fixed location. They can correlate this information

Bird really need to structure it better, and make it clear that such actions are fraudulent. The people involved need to lose their licence to charge and their user accounts and then they won't have any way to make money or use the scooters.
Should be noted Tencent is a Chinese company, several of their games appear on this list.

Random idea.

If you have profits sufficient to fund R&D you could also potentially approach your investors about buying them out with those profits. Something like "It has become apparent that this company is never going to provide the growth you are after. Instead, every quarter the company with pay you $X in exchange for N of your shares. After two years the company will have bought back the last of your shares and you will have twice your investment. We enjoy running the company and intend to do that for the foreseeable future despite the limited growth."
