The wealthy control us with the, 'I don't want to pay for it trick.'

Any new idea, like UBI, that might equal out the playing field, a bit, is so easily shot down by scare tactics.

I foresee a future of just rich people, and the exploited. I truly find it depressing. The wealthy have us all blaming the wrong people. The middle class blame the poor. The whiter ones blaming the darker ones. Just blame someone except the rich boys, and the buying power of that family money.

All the while, the crafty boys are controlling our thoughts, and actions.

All this cheap tech surveillance, and cheap psyops, just make the wealthy chaps goal of keeping us enslaved easier.
Tell that to CPPFLAGS.
Can you elaborate? How does relying on pure TSS for context switching prevent meltdown?

What were the 4g4g kernels? Might you have any literature and/or on those?
Do you suspect this would fall under trademark confusion? It's definitely towing a line but I don't think it's necessarily that clear-cut. It's not like they own the term 'kick starter,' they just used it in their trademarked brand.
"There is no parallel in other species for these quick, large-scale shifts. General behavior patterns in dogs or fish or ants change due to a change in environment, or to broad genetic evolution over a period of time."

Aha! This passage made me realize why we can't seem to get a grip on, for example, climate change (but also that we soon, easily could). Humans can undergo a quick, large-scale shift in behavior having nothing to do with an environmental change; therefore it's also true that humans can staunchly and stubbornly adhere to the same behavior, despite an environmental change.
The German style is horrible. Read the Metamorphosis by Kafka for a German perspective of their criminal justice system.

Being employed by Google should not give you special political or social privilege. For someone to have the privilege of deciding what one of the worlds largest companies does, they should stump up the resources to become a shareholder.

You do not want corporations becoming political. Grocers should not choose their customers based on their political leanings. That would be bad. The principles are the same.

BUT, by the same token, things attackers can do don't matter either! NISC computers: So advanced, they make all attackers meaningless!
Oh, that's true. I guess I just don't have that many 3rd party services regularly billing my credit card without prompting for a specific one to bill. I've only had to replace two credit cards over about 10 years, though.
These are very uninteresting to read. The first 3 points don't really explain how to successfully achieve them. They all come to 1 single point, you must be very skillful at multiple things to achieve them. And I think you're defining money/finance success, and not other kinds of successes.

While this is true its not the biggest reason. The game dev cycle is just different than the tech cycle and it opens a window to exploitation.

Games releases are seasonal so a common practice is to hire for an xmas release and gut the teams after that.

Shady bonus practices are common. You often have very little recourse into how yearly profit is calculated and paid out.

The separation of studio managing employees and publishers holding on to IP means that studios can close up shop without the rights holders being liable for any back pay or bonus.
My area has a problem with contaminated material collected for recycling. It's so bad there is an active marketing campaign urging users not to recycle unless they're absolutely certain the material is recyclable. I witnessed a recycling collection truck dump its entire load at the landfill, and an employee mentioned its a regular occurrence. I'm fortunate that I have great trash collection. I can dispose of up to 6 yards per week. Although my area has one of the lowest recycling rates of the country.
Now, waiting for AlphaStar with Has (the cheesiest professional Protoss player, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgxOV1L3Jl4).
Obstacle avoidance is nothing like what you describe in both your previous posts. You're talking about an AI that can autonomously decide when it needs to refine its model of the world and then take appropriate action to do so. You are describing a system that can make autonomous decisions about where to go and what to do. The "only" thing that needs is full autonomy and general intelligence.

I'm sorry if I don't understand what kind of database you mean, still, but that's because you keep describing it in very vague terms. First it was a "huge database" (of what?), then it was a "Database with objects likely to be found together and statistical weights next to them". What kind of objects, what kind of statistics and what kind of weights?

I mean, if you yourself don't know what you're trying to say, don't blame me for not getting it.

I had a control board go bad on an $800 washing machine. The manufacturer wanted $829 for the control board (just the part).
I agree. Juries are far better at understanding science than judges.

The only cases I ever lost were bench trials (before judges, no juries) where the judges refused to accept scientific challenges (backed by actual research) to the prosecution's pseudo-science evidence.
Some universities offer basic Office 365 (Word, PP, Excel) when you are a registered student.

It's not the accomplishment that people knock. It's the spin, the inaccurate article titles and the hype.
No, I think Apple will get a cut, but only a marginal one - probably a "better than Netflix" % deal, and definitely not the standard 30%.

Favorability in negotiation terms usually tend to be proportional to the size of the parties involved.

Sounds like the PR agency is interested in making ads which nobody would see. Great job, PR agency.
With cans, you could crush them, so they took up only a small amount of room.
I understand the spirit of the proposal but that would be like limiting a computer to add at most two numbers per second. It's OK if we want an interesting contest against humans but it wouldn't be a fair estimate of a computer math capability. It's also not the point of using computers to do math instead of a room full of accountants. I'm OK with the AI going as fast as it can and play superhuman strategies because it can be that fast. After all we'll not limit AIs output rate when we'll let them manage a country's power grid.
I think it's time to require bonded advertisers on advertising platforms. If you deliver third party content, you should be legally and financially responsible for it. Period. Google and others should be able to police their platform. They aren't... advertisers should have to put up a given dollar amount to advertise on the platform. If malware is detected, they get blackballed.
While I was in undergrad, the chemical engineering major required over 200 quarter units, and was only barely manageable if you started right away and carried 4-5 classes each quarter for four years. There wasn't any time to chill out your freshman year and take fun classes, not if you wanted to finish in four years.

It looks like they've consolidated it somewhat in the intervening years, now it requires only 186 units: https://www.seasoasa.ucla.edu/curric-14-15/21curchem-14.html
Oracle v. Google and the future of software development
> there are lots of sw devs who are willing to put up with those conditions because they want to work on games.

This is exactly the reason why I don't want to pursue a career in game development. I find games exciting but that doesn't make it feel worth to me to make compromises in pay and working conditions. Instead it can just be a hobby.
Real life is not like Oz. Literally everything you stated is the exceptional case and not the norm in the American justice system. Especially the part about getting killed by the arresting cops--that's news precisely because it happens so rarely.
There are three things this seems to do. And what's changed is the perceived value of these.

1) Increased mining rate. Although there's a prescribed "maximum", as I understand it adding more workers, up to some limit, does yield more minerals beyond the prescribed.

2) Buffer against harassment. If you are over-saturated and lose two probes, you rate of income isn't affected.

3) Bootstrapping an expansion. All of the excess probes can be moved over to the new expo.
I guess that's technically true, but only if your sample size is 100%. :-)
I know lots of bootcamp grads who got their first job at large and mid sized companies (100+).

You should go look up the companies that grads from places like hack reactor go to. There are many big names in there

(and grads that I know personally, that have gone to work for places like Uber, Airbnb, and LinkedIn).
Doesn't that still require that you create a maximum of 10 host rules per ingress? That makes it harder to automate things.

With the current system, we can use one consistent IP or CNAME for all new domains. With the 10-certs-per-GLB limitation, we'd have to manage the DNS accordingly so that all the domains are correctly spread out among the N different ingress GLBs.

At the time we started with Kubernetes, cert-manager was listed as alpha quality and not recommended for production. Even today, it seems Gandi (which we use for DNS) still isn't supported; at least it's not in the documented list [1]. LEGO supports Gandi, so I'm not sure if maybe the documentation is wrong here.

What Marie Kondo can teach us about prioritizing the right work
No I get you, being able to map the exact code is important. But I think what's happening is you're confused about the ES20XX translation layers. Those aren't at the typescript level, they're at the Babel level … it just so happens that tsc supports that bit, but it's my understanding that this will be going away at some point (eg. typescript will move to only doing the typechecking, and leaving babel to only do the compiling).

enums are a tiny, extremely useful and extremely optional part of the language and they don't warrant this label of "philosophical difference", IMO.
Separate address space for kernel and user. Hardware will use TSS to switch address space as needed for syscalls.
Alizarin Crimson is so predictably shit for lightfastness that it's (apparently) actually used to calibrate lightfastness checking.
For me DDG is still nowhere close to Google, but I wouldn't classify it as terrible in general. Also, DDG doesn't have searching by date range and doesn't have searching for recent results beyond one month.

What I do is use DDG as my default, and then progressively use the bang commands [1] to move to Startpage with !s and then to Google with !g. Sometimes it takes a little longer to find something, but I try to avoid using Google search directly as much as possible.

I think it's to help illustrate the time dimension as going forward rather than something that goes up and down. And also to not measure the hills against some global X-axis. It is confusing.
Right now, they pay for not having a union, in dollars, stress, their health, divorce, etc.

High School Deplorables
It doesn't seem like hype to me -- it seems like a genuine, significant accomplishment. Sure, they might not be able to beat the best pro players consistently right now, but I suspect that is right around the corner. Would you rather they stay completely mum until they've reached that goal too? And why? I'd rather know now, and then be able to follow along as it gets better and beats higher and higher-ranked players.
I'll take you up on that bet; they started with a version that tried to learn from scratch they seemed to have scrapped that approach.
Seattle’s Viadoom: The ‘Carmageddon’ That Wasn’t
That would actually be an interesting thing for someone from blizzard to do, get two similarly skilled high level players, and compare the win/loss rate by doing two 7 games matches with each player having a match with a 10% increased view size, and see what the impact is.

Well, we start running one instruction, it just never quite finishes. The other OISC systems run way more than one instruction, they’re just always the same one with different parameters.
Everyone hates their government, but that's no reason to want to disband the government. It's a means of representation. Everyone will gripe that it doesn't represent them perfectly, which is true, but it's still better than not having representation at all.

Every person I know in a union talks trash about their union like they talk trash about their family. The union will annoy them on a daily basis -- and then they'll remind you that it's all between friends, and everything is far better than back before they had representation.

Microsoft acquires Citus Data
I get what your saying. But screen movement is rate limited (meaning you can't loop through all possible screen positions in 1ms) so you have to actively choose where you want to focus, just like a human player. Think of it more like calls to a web server then "foreach screens".
It was just self-interest. Trump got better TV ratings than Clinton or indeed any other candidate got. (HRC could hardly complain because she got better ratings than decent humans like Sanders, Stein, and Johnson.) Until DJT retires from politics or someone with a comparable built-in potential news audience challenges him, that will continue to be the case. If you want to know who will be a serious contender in 2024, pay attention to who has a reality show in 2021 (if not reality show, whatever moves the needle for the masses in that barely-imaginable future [hint: watch to see what Chris Christie does the only thing that can stop that guy is a heart attack]). Forget about 2020. DJT already had it comfortably, and now Mueller and the House Ds are doing their damnedest to trigger a landslide...

The point is, the news orgs pretend to oppose Trump, but when no one is listening they say things like Les Moonves said before he got blackballed for doing what Hollywood bigwigs do: ""It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS."

The purpose of limiting speed isn't to make an interesting contest, it is to accurately compare the "math" instead of the speed the math is done at.

It isn't surprising that its fast, the surprising part is that it can make human-like decisions. The only way to compare whether its thinking is human-like is to restrain it from "brute forcing" the contest through speed.

The model has likely learned that the faster it does things the better the outcome. What it needs to be measured on is strategy.

The company/server that serves the images can count... they also get a referer for the host in question... and while I may be OK with google to load a script for the ads they serve, there is NO reason for anything inside what they serve to bring down any other JS.
Objective C is a language from a different era. I actually like the swift model. I feel like the changes are actually for the better and based on things that users want.
I agree with you.

All these books and essays ultimately boil down to "what worked for me, plus a million other things I'm not mentioning because they're not as glamorous, and a ton of luck: it could happen to you too!"

Yes there is hard work in becoming successful but a ton of it is luck: being in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing, with the right people... This talk, peddling luck, expresses what I mean: https://vimeo.com/53494258
> no one in the system — neither the PTO nor the courts — is specifically responsible for representing the public's interest, by making sure that the information being disclosed is valuable enough to deserve the monopoly.

By law, that's the job of the USPTO. The PTO routinely rejects patent applications if the examiner thinks that the claimed subject matter wasn't novel or would have been obvious at the time the invention was made. Most rejections stick (I would guess), but sometimes examiners get worn down by patent attorneys. The problem was famously summarized nearly a century ago by the legendary federal judge Learned Hand, who said that "... the antlike persistency of solicitors has overcome, and I suppose will continue to overcome, the patience of examiners, and there is apparently always but one outcome."

Back when the local cops had these, a bunch of us used to intercept their communications with radio scanners and some software from the L0pht or some such.

The cops would use them like some early form of proto-instant messaging with apparently no oversight.

Lots of stories about sexual conquests, "check this slut's cleavage on 6th and Monroe out", etc. I remember one interesting conversation one night, where a patrol unit was requesting permission to pull over a train that was speeding through town too fast.
Yeah those salary markers don't include the RSU :)
That sure is a nice theory you've got there.

No. There is not a fundamental difference.

The only difference is that one is more particular to the nature of the entitlement.
And none of that requires JS to be delivered to the browser beyond the script that loaded the ad itself. The ad networks should pass whatever appropriate data to each other, not the browser.
You are right, but the point here is to force it to win by pure decision making. Having an AI play a game was always about challenging ourselves to improve our understanding of intelligence. Limiting APM is just another way to force us to come up with new ideas.
If that compatibility ends, it might as well be a new product. Every client that connects to Redshift uses a standard Postgres driver.
To reiterate the prior poster claimed that 10 minutes of lost productivity could cost more than the devs desired computer.

You said that this calculation is erroneous because the developer could easily make coffee or have a meeting while his machine boots up and thereby recover that lost time.

This is a very puzzling suggestion. Slow machines aren't merely slow the start they are slow to complete user operations while the user is sitting at the machine awaiting the result. The time cost is the sum of 1000 small delays throughout the day. You can't productively fill the extra 30 seconds you spent waiting 20 times with a meeting for example.

In fact acceptable hardware/software wakes from sleep in a second or cold boots in 30-90 seconds. Boot up isn't really the problem.

You said

>Because it actually supports my claim, to schedule a meeting in the beginning of the day

What the actual article says

>Several times a week I set aside a chunk of time to meet founders we've funded. These chunks of time are at the end of my working day, and I wrote a signup program that ensures all the appointments within a given set of office hours are clustered at the end. Because they come at the end of my day these meetings are never an interruption.

PG actually suggested meeting at the end of the productive day to avoid breaking up productive working time.

I suggest you read it instead of skim it.
Unfortunately, if you advocate for voluntarily unions, via things like right to work laws, people call you slurs such as a "freerider".

I am absolutely in favor of voluntary organizations. Just don't make it illegal for me to work at a job while refusing to join one.
> Over the past 3 years of working full-time yes I've accomplished some things, but none of them were truly difficult or ground breaking.

3 years? Fuck. It sounds like you're on track for a long and successful career. Not everyone peaks early. Give yourself a break, spend a little more time networking and a little less time on your hard skills and you'll probably find greater opportunities for ground breaking things through relationships than through your skills.

Putting SSH on a nonstandard port is pretty silly.
I just thank people in person when the meeting is over. I don't see anything in that article that explains why I need to send an email, too.
I think most of these are true. Here are two of my own that I generally don't see emphasized as much.

1. Do something wrong

Remember that you have to be exceptional to reach outlier success. You won't be unusual if you do what everyone thinks is the correct path. When you feel strongly about something, be unwilling to change or compromise. If you're not doing anything that's considered "wrong", you won't be exceptional, and you probably won't succeed.

2. Have many advantages

Have a high IQ. Have the ability to easily work hard. Have at least reasonably favorable social conditions (no debt, some money from family). To be exceptional, you need every advantage you can get. If you don't have many advantages, then you should really consider whether you can compete with people that have them.

I don't think it's right to encourage everyone to try for outlier success. By definition, you need to be an outlier to reach it. On the other hand, if you have reason to believe you are an outlier, then the odds are better than you might think.
