I dug up my old norse text* and thought I'd share the relevant details in case someone finds it interesting (this is Old Norse, not Old English):

p.266
> Of these additional letters þ and ð were borrowed from Old English. The rune þ was known already, but its use in manuscript came from England.

p.268
> þ in the oldest Icelandic manuscripts was used both for the voiceless sound of th in English thin and the voiced sound in then. About 1225 ð was introduced, and gradually þ came to be used only initially, and ð in other positions. þ then represented only the voiceless sound, while ð, except when following a voiceless consonant (rare, as ð then usually became t) was voiced, as in faðir, við.

This is where I got the impression that ð is voiced.

Same here. They really need to put out a release for it so people can auto update.
You'd hope a professional dog walker would be familiar with how leashes work. There's this loop at the end, if you wrist through it then grab the leash a dog should be able to yank you off your feat before getting free.

My (at the time) brand new girlfriend was walking her dog with me. I had the leash and the dog sprints off. I got this withering look that spelled out to me that this was likely then end of our relationship. Fortunately all was forgiven once I showed her the half of the leash I still had.
We just pushed the first initial, public release of Gunk, a modern frontend and syntax for Protocol Buffers.

Check out releases here: https://github.com/gunk/gunk/releases/tag/v0.1.0

Please note this is still extremely early / alpha stage, but we are soliciting feedback on our initial design. We hope to make this project useful to the greater developer community.

"In any case, Wag and its walker are probably not at fault. I'd be after the driver."

Have you considered the dog was at fault? I mean unless the leash is incredible short it would be pretty easy to jump into an oncoming car if pavement is small. Playing devil advocate here but since we've considered Wag, the walker and driver surely we can consider the animal at fault too unless the lease was 20cms and dog was practically being dragged
Also on the other end. Wag seems to be having issues with walkers committing fraud against the company. I think wag needs to take a more aggressive approach at putting a stop to it. If walkers are committing fraud through the app then they should pursue legal action against those walkers and hold them criminally for fraud.

From what I understand...what walkers are doing is signing up for their friends/family and letting the friend do the walking. Why would someone do this? Well if your friend has a long criminal record and can't find a job (because of their criminal history) then the family member feels compelled to help the family member by singing up for a wag account, get approved with a clear record and then let the family member with a bad record do the actual work. This is why in the story the person doing the walking was basically different from the person in the profile and failed to disclose their real name.

TerraData used to have something along the lines that you describe for DB2.

The major bottleneck with databases is the storage media, i.e. disk drive arrays. Since these are always orders of magnitude slower than CPU bound operations, databases would only minimally, if at all, benefit from a DPU.

Even if you consider memory-resident only databases, once you go beyond cache memory access times become a big concern. Naturally still faster than disk, but compared to cache access times still a significant issue.

It might be possible to program FPGAs for some of the most critical operations. However, the CPU to FPGA interconnect could then become a problem.
It's Wag, a service that matches you with available dog walkers. The pee-ers in question were pets.
Another issue is punishment. Ideally, if a particular user paid a bot service to add 100k new followers to their profile, not only the bots but the manipulative user should be banned.

But there's no way for Twitter (or any other platform) to determine who's actually responsible. "False flags" (framing a user by buying followers for them, or running bots themselves to follow them) are not uncommon, so the best Twitter can do is remove the followers and improve bot detection capabilities. This lets users continually pay for more bots to replenish their periodically purged follower count.
If you want a professional dog walker, you probably shouldn't be looking on Wag -- those are just normal people making a few bucks.

Much like how if you expect a professional driver, you won't likely find one on Uber.

Though in any case, having the dog pull the dog walker down on the sidewalk doesn't help much when the dog ran out on the road in front of a bus.
I think apple is still not there

* You have to identify yourself and log in to use an apple product.

* Apple products contact apple continuously, along with akamai and others
(cdns are the cookies you cannot disable)

* You cannot firewall apps, they can always access the network.

* Apps can run in various ways without you realizing it, during installation, notifications, deep links, etc...

* Apple piggybacks services you do not want on the back of legitimate services:

- turning on bluetooth will also enable ibeacon tracking services, and your device can become a beacon.

- turning on wifi will also collect data for crowdsourced location information

- your device will auto-connect to various wifi services out of the box.

- pasting a web link in mail, imessage, etc will look it up, and following it is shared with apps using deep linking.

I do think Tim Cook is right about something, only legislation can slow things down (it will never stop things, because the bills will be compromised on before they become law).

I also think Apple could still change their behavior. Let people turn things off. Even the "anonymous" data/analytics apple collects. Even the network.

I think many legitimate companies over-collect data out of fear of not having enough information. It's the mindset - if I allow people to opt-out, we will get no information to understand things or make decisions with or provice services. Beginner leader mistake - you don't need perfect information.

I think with trust comes unfettered commerce.

Unless the entire story is false it really doesn't matter.

Dog died. Wag wanted them to sign an NDA or Wag wouldn't pay for anything.

The only correct response from Wag was to pay everything (again, we're talking about a couple of thousand maximum) no questions asked and apologize profusely.

Even from a purely soulless financial standpoint, that's the only correct response.

It gets a "OH COME ON!" because it's completely irreverent. The actual story here doesn't actually matter. A dog is dead, and there's no recovering from bungling the PR of something that sensitive.

Everything in the world is a matter of understanding the marginal impact. There is no universe in which hearing both sides of the story (or trying to save n number of dollars) results in a better net outcome for Wag as a business than apologizing profusely and visibly showing as much empathy as possible.

>but most people that are charged are guilty.

Just a point to consider: this is dependent on what you mean by "are guilty". The incentive to encourage plea deals by courts, prosecutors and attorneys, along with a perceived leniency of outcomes among many in law enforcement has contributed to the practice of over charging. This is especially true for certain categories of crime, drug charges being one of those categories. So while I would agree that most people charged are guilty on some of the charges, I posit that most people charged may not be guilty of all charges initially levied against them.
Police dogs are not actual officers, as they can not meet the training and oath requirements.

I'm not aware of any laws protecting the dogs specifically other than general animal cruelty laws. But because they are very expensive to train (I know of a bomb dog that cost $30k+) you are facing felony property damage charges if you injure or disable them.

You should take a break.

We do have Wag's side of the story. They decided to only reimburse costs if a customer signs an NDA, and then they decided to revoke their offer when the customer refused to sign.

Wag don't need to add anything more than that for us to know they care more about a very small amount of money than the dogs customers entrust to the care of the walkers they employ.

To be honest the money is actually a small and distracting aspect of this story. If it was my dog I'd want to know what happened. The fact Wag won't give any proper answers shows they probably don't know what's happening to dogs people trust their walkers with. That is a HUGE problem for me.

I have a far cheaper automatic (mechanical auto-winding) watch, so maybe I can offer another perspective. I don't need to remember to wind it, though I do need to remember to wear it every few days so it auto-winds. The mechanism for this alone, with the rotor visible in the rear, is really fascinating to watch. There's something very satisfying about a watch operating solely dependent on mechanical precision rather than a digital computer.

Also, more generally, because it competes on craftsmanship rather than having the latest features, it won't be outdated in a few years as will every modern smartwatch. This changes how I look at it, because unlike with my smartphones or laptops, in the back of my mind I don't have a plan to eventually replace or upgrade it. It feels less... disposable.

I hope this helps illustrate my decision process a little. Obviously you may feel differently, but to me the feeling of consistency that I get from something that will be functional and repairable decades from now makes it a reasonably logical decision.
>> I don’t know what rules Wag have, but calling the owner as soon as possible and stating what has happened is a pretty basic thing to do.

If you were owning/operating your own dog-walking service, sure, because you'd care about your reputation.

Wag appears to be yet another gig economy outfit, though, so the person delivering the actual service cares little (or not at all?) about the reputation of the intermediate service company.

If things go badly wrong, as the service provider you'd just walk away. The service company certainly doesn't care about you, why should you care about them?
Hearing corporate excuses from a fucking dog walking startup that got someone's dog killed couldn't possibly improve my opinion of them.

Also, try some guidelines to help you choose more intentionally when and how to analyze things. Is it no topic is worth thinking through all outcomes? Or, important topics are worth it, and they are x, y and z? Or, I can do that type of thinking only an hour a day, from 7-8pm? Once a week? A therapist and trial and error can help you figure out what works for you.

Have a counterfactual behavior that you'll do when you notice you're analyzing when you didn't intend to. E.g. if I notice I'm thinking through scenarios, I'll acknowledge that, then focus on my breath.
I agree, but it is easy to understand why the walker wouldn’t want to be the bearer of bad news. I’ve house sat friend’s pets, and the thought of my accidentally killing one and having to break the news is viscerally painful.

> It takes a good and concentrated effort to run a clean platform

Precisely. It's hard. Because people. So I can imagine that without the platform and hence no way to actually have a concentrated effort to do the work required to up the quality you still get the garbage that people bring but without the observability or feedback loop to the entity because they're all just localised cases.

But this is my point. It's people that run the platforms and it's people that partake in them. It's people that choose to trust them and it's people that can't be trusted. It's all ultimately a people problem. The platform is just a mechanism to coordinate the actions of people. It's not like this stuff never happens outside of platforms and now that you have platforms platforms are causing this stuff to happen.

Caveat: it may be the case platforms cause this stuff to happen due to the type of actors they attract because the economics of certain things actually scale poorly along one axis and brilliantly along another. I address this elsewhere and am happy to concede it.

I agree with you. I actually do. I also hope on some level you agree with me too. We want things to be convenient and safe and it takes time and collateral damage for things to mold themselves into the right shape.

Coordination of good behavior is a hard, hard, problem to solve. It's not like the default state is "uncoordinated good behavior". Rather it seems to progress through states of "uncoordinated bad behavior", "coordinated bad behavior", "coordinated good behavior".

From what I can see of the sharing economy experiment, once you coordinate things you get to coordinated bad behavior and then from there it takes a few incidents to honestly compute the real risks and appropriate responses and appropriate changes are made and you wind up with coordinated good behavior.

That's a loose model and I'm sure someone out there can present a much better one than me, but I'm willing to at least say the analysis is in the right direction.
> Have you considered the dog was at fault?

It is never the dog’s fault. We brought the dog into an unnatural environment. It is in our power and thus our responsibility to keep them safe. This is why pet accidents are so devastating.
That said, there is actually an app for finding and paying to use a restroom: https://www.good2go.global/index.html
So I did some googling and like most things, "it's complicated."

It varies by state, but killing a police dog can put you in jail for 10 years (and this has happened) and that is a federal law. There are some states pursuing stricter measures themselves where killing a canine officer is equivalent to killing a human officer.

As to what I said about killing a police dog having a harsher punishment, that was based on a single anecdote and I meant that the judges serve harsher punishments, not that the laws themselves are stricter.

"But if Netflix and Walt Disney both use technology to stream video, why is only Netflix trading at infinity-times earnings? And if Tesla and BMW “both use battery technology to power luxury cars,” Deluard writes, “why should the former trade at 42 times forward earnings when the latter fetches 5.6 times trailing earnings?” Good question."

Incredibly flawed argument. BMW's earnings come from a huge variety of products and services. Not purely battery-powered electric cars. Tesla's entire business model is producing battery-powered vehicles.

So to compare each company's P/E directly under the assumption that they are both making identical products would be wrong. Instead you would need to somehow isolate the P/E ratio of BMW's battery-powered car business in order to draw a meaningful comparison.

In general, this article is trying to group all of tech into one basket and draw conclusions which apply universally. A company has a high P/E ratio for a very simple reason: investors believe its earnings growth will outpace the market. That will seemingly always be true for companies which are focusing on growth over profit.
This is basically a side effect of the "gig economy." One can even just sell their account (and good will) when they decide to quit dog walking. Pretty scary when you really think about it.
