It feels to me as though the mantra of "move fast and break things" wasn't meant to apply to laws.

Actually the related mantra of "Hey as long as it's just a fine you can reasonably pay -- or you don't think you'll get caught -- then sure, go ahead an break the law!" has been around the Valley for quite a while. In fact, we might say it's become something of a chant.
That situation (long review times and lack of feedback) has already had considerable attention from government higher-ups and Congress.
They are most likely only looking at the RAM used but the 'Discord' process, which is just the native launcher code and OS hooks (on MacOS here, may be different on other OSes). The electron processes are called 'Discord Helper' and will be using quite a bit more RAM, though I still wouldn't consider it 'heavy'. The same process structure is true of Slack as well (maybe all electron apps, I'm not familiar enough to say).

Both Slack / Discord use around 400MB including all processes on my machine, tho it certainly varies with what is on screen. In comparison to the gmail tab I have open in Safari that is using 1GB, 400MB isn't bad.

How would you know? This sounds more like your opinion, or the opinion of an echo chamber like /r/starcitizen. Derek Smart seemed like an idiot, but the game still seems to be regarded as a total joke outside of that subdeddit (e.g. /r/games).

I've no skin in the game apart from I loved the original wing commander, but it is funny looking over old threads in /r/starcitizen actually, here's one I just found where the top comment was saying it'd be too long if there wasn't a beta in 2018 (there wasn't) and that some Squadron 76 missions should have been released by then (they haven't):

Listen. Listening is a multi-dimensional skill. Observe their communication skills primarily their non-verbal communication. Do they attempt to dominate the space around them? Are they receptive to input? Are they patient or hurried? What is their degree of empathy? Are they touchy?

Also watch the non-verbal communication responses of the people who interact with the CEO. Are these people charmed or put off? Is there a receptive common understanding? Is there an eagerness of participation or does the CEO surround himself with cowardly yes men?

Second, pay careful attention to their choice of vocabulary. How does the CEO articulate abstract thoughts? Do they use humor to soften moods? Are they bottom line up front? Do they stutter? Do they pause to organize their words before speaking or does it just flow like a waterfall? Is there a crispness, clarity, or articulation you find particular?

Third, how do they use their time? Focus more on the idle moments when they aren't actively engaging with people or specifically focused on a dedicated planned task. Do they stare off into space brainstorming? Do fidget with a gadget (probably a phone)? Are they calm, restful, or a busy body?

Fourth, what do their notes look like? How they write things down or record things is an indication of how they want they to remember things. It isn't the full picture of how they organize their thoughts, but it is a large picture on what they choose to organize. This is a view into their priorities and may reflect things you would not otherwise consider important.

If you have never been in management yourself you may find yourself focusing on their goals or the things they want you to see instead of the important things you are not yet prepared to look for. Don't worry about the interpersonal relationships or the people they want to introduce you to. This sounds really important, but I promise its a red herring unless you need to engage those same people directly on your own.

Completely unrelated, but... The story was ofte a little hard to follow when I was a kid, but using a dictionary I was able to not just understand and progress throughout the game, but I also learned a lot of English in the process.

It all started with Transport Tycoon Deluxe, then Age of Empires. But it was with Baldur's Gate things really started to make sense. Because of these games I was reading and sort of speaking English before we even started having any English classes.

Good times.
Exactly, as a solo developer I can't imagine making a cross-platform app in 3 different languages and perhaps developing a landing page for the app in a 4th completely different stack.

I'd much rather learn 1 stack well, write the app once, and spend time _optimizing_ it rather then _reimplementing_ it.

Compressing working memory is quite expensive in CPU cycles compared to just using it. Identical page merging is also reasonably expensive and only works if pages are, well, identical. Your Electron runtimes are probably not going to be bit for bit identical, not even small sections, due to offsets not divisible by page size. Tuning for better deduplication is possible, but then you're at an awkward mix of caring and not caring about performance.

No, but there is an overlap that a lot of (but not necessarily all) products with gluten also contain a high amount of FODMAPs. Therefore even people without gluten allergies or celiac disease will see their digestive problems improve through eating gluten free products because they are also usually low in FODMAPS.

Telling those people that gluten isn't the problem doesn't help them, because it doesn't change the fact that they can't eat pizza, bread or pasta.

What if you're not home? It is for such occasions that cat flaps were invented. However, today's cat flaps either open for any cat, or they're RFID-based, and for that to work, you implant a chip into your cat, which I find utterly barbaric.

Now what could be a great improvement is a cat flap identifying your cat(s) and letting them in based on computer vision, instead of relying on implants. I'd pay good money for it, provided that it worked in all weather conditions and all cat conditions (a wet and dirty cat needs to get in even more than a dry and clean one but I expect false negatives in these scenarios.)

I’ve had a similar idea: assign a weight to each party, and multiply each vote by the appropriate weight.

In standard FPTP, all the weights are one. To make the results proportional, just assign weights such that the seat counts match the overall vote shares (rounding in favor of the parties with the most votes).

Edit to add: I would guess there’s probably a single solution for any given election, or rather a contiguous set of solutions, but I haven’t verified that.

It probably wouldn’t survive a legal challenge, as some would complain that votes are being counted unequally. Though in this situation I’d argue that the ends (PR) justify the means (unequal weights).

They needn't decrypt, only negligible population use End to End encryption. They can do mass surveillance with the support of ISP; may be some of the ISP's objected to their surveillance requests & hence blanket permission to do so.

1. first and foremost, ask yourself WHY this CEO is giving you her valuable time? It's a lot of inconvenience for the CEO. There must be a real reason (more than just being a friend). You need to know the reason for you being there. Otherwise you are flying blind, and can easily say the wrong thing without knowing

e.g. if the CEO is doing this as a way to recruit you, don't say out loud in the meeting "I am going to start my own company after this". It will embarrass her in front of her team.

2. try to schedule the meetings to near end-of-day, and see if you can get to a social-event (e.g. after-work drinks) with the CEO and other executives. That's usually where the real conversations happen, and you find out the real "behind-the-scenes" info

Shortest article ever?

In all seriousness I don’t think this is the worst thing for any of the three countries. Most new US production is higher cost (fracking), so the drop in market share is at least met with a stronger price floor for all.

> Certain embodiments herein also provides a system and method for authentication, which can prevent service users' identities from being exposed even by hacking of a terminal or server side of a service provider, negligence in information management or a manager's misconduct.

impossible.

> Certain embodiments herein also provides a system and method for authentication, which can store information provided by a service user during subscription and authentication procedures in such a manner that the information cannot be decoded from a side of a service provider's server.

Impossible without a trusted 3rd party to perform the authentication and return a token to the service provider. Which is a well known and well deployed, not novel technique.

Patents are hard to read, and this one is no exception. Unfortunately I don't have enough interest to invest the time required, but at a glance it seems that the technique is to have an authentication server that can hide the user identity from the relying service, basically by replacing it with a token. Too obvious.

But there's some kind of dedup exchange mentioned; it might be that the auth server doesn't itself store a list of the identities that it has authenticated previously so it has to interact with the service (in a blind way) to dedup. Perhaps the novelty here is that the service itself cannot uniquely identify users; ie each post could be coming from any user in a group. All the service knows is that the post is from a user in that group. On its face, that seems false -- for the first time ever I actually looked at blind and each post has a user pseudonym as metadata. There would be no point to that pseudonym if it didn't represent a uniquely identified individual user.

Anyway, all this is meaningless protection unless there is adequate SoD between the auth server and the service provider, which for teamblind it is obvious there is not.
I haven't had a facebook account in many years and I don't miss it, but holy shit does this list just show how badly facebook needs an actual competitor.

Isn't there a happy medium somewhere? Where someone could use a facebook like model with ads to let users in for "free," but also accept payment for absolute privacy and content control.

Part of me thinks even if you made the best, most amazing platform it'd still be a gamble if you'd get the user adoption momentum necessary to be a serious competitor. Google couldn't do it.
Developing nations, i.e. China and India are the big ones to mention, are using coal not due to their dislike of fracking. India has strong coal mining in its nation, plus they are still electrifying a population nearly the size of the USA, so a little coal pollution is less of a drag on their GDP given the gains they make due to electrification. Not a good plan for health or well-being, but their reasoning for using coal isn't influenced by the anti-fracking concerns of the US left. Then China, once again, mining some of their own coal but also buying it from other regional players like AU, as well as basically pushing harder on hydro, natural gas, solar, wind, and nuclear than any other economy on any of those. Environment will be destroyed much more quickly by the methane emissions and Co2 emissions related to natural gas turbine use relative to the localized damage done to the geology and water supplies of natural gas plants.

"Earlier this month, SpaceX launched three more satellites for Swarm on a Falcon 9 rocket after winning FCC approval."

This feels like a pretty important point - Swarm got slapped for their mistakes with that launch, but they're already back on track if the FCC already granted permission (what must have been months ago) for their most recent satellites. I wonder if it was just down to confusion on Swarm's part on how the rules applied.

kata (Intel clear containers + hypers runv) is big in the nested virtualization space but is still a tiny project (contributor wise) consisting of mostly Redhat. It's unlikely you'd run into these projects if you're not at an IAAS or dealing with containers accessing custom hardware (fpgas, gpus, etc). They're really cool, along with gvisor, kubevirt, nemu, etc. The really exciting part is everyone is using these projects for extremely different reasons. IAAS, rendering farms, android emulators, it's a really fun project to watch.

I think in the future there will be a big shift off of runc (docker) as the k8s default runtime now that CRIO has made them pluggable.
Have you played the game?

I ask because you sound exactly like one of the people complaining because they can't for some reason handle how the game is developed, that its not going according to your expectations. If you don't plan to play Star Citizen, then why do you care how Star Citizen players feel about the game? CIG has been very clear from the start that Star Citizen's development will be unlike any other game before it, and they have been especially clear and emphasized that "it will be done when it's done".

Speaking only for myself, I contributed Kickstarter funds to get a working game, not to advance the state of the art. I realize different funders have different takes on this.

EDIT: I should mention that I haven't actually tried playing the game in quite a while. I've been waiting for the developers to stamp it as "released" before I take another look.

So perhaps in its current form, it's playable enough to satisfy what I signed up for. It's a little hard to tell from the varied characterizations of its current playability.

Licenses should be about public safety.

It seems though in some industries (not all), as you allude to in the floral industry, that licensing is just another manifestation of rent seeking and ever encroaching regulatory capture.

Would you concur? Curious to hear what you think there could (or should) be done about it in your opinion? In the case of selling floral products-caveat lector: I know nothing about flowers other than they are pretty and smell nice-would it make sense to replace licensing with some sort of rating system for businesses to aid consumers in deciding who they want to procure professional services from based on assessed expertise and past services rendered (not Yelp, an assessment from your industry peers)?

My personal rule is to avoid factory farmed meat. 100% effective when buying for home, but I admittedly compromise when eating out, but by asking each time I plant the seed I hope. I do, as an omnivore, think everyone should see, and take some part in, raising, and slaughtering livestock before it becomes a staple of your diet. Meat comes from animals that died for you, not the store. Respecting that has more impact than blanket-avoidance in my eyes.
