1. Both partners cheated, I don't know enough historically to say if one gender cheated more, but I'd guess it's pretty even in monogamous cultures and in non-monogamous cultures there usually was a dominant gender that was permitted to be non-monogamous and the vast majority of these allowed non-monogamous activity on the part of males (I'm including having multiple wives here once dedicated relationships entered society, not just non-binding relationships, that last category was actually, to my understanding, dominated by female choice, but it's a very tiny sliver)

2. I don't see how this favors either gender in particular, outside of the general trend of a society to be more matriarchal or patriarchal (and most people have lived in societies that have skewed towards the patriarchal end)

3. I agree but given the skew of societies I'd say that the opinion of the bride was ignored more often than the opinion of the husband.

There are comments all over the place so I'd clarify my overall point, it appears that male-driven choice and female-driven choice have both contributed, neither gender was entirely sidelined or even close to that state, but from what I've seen male choice has traditionally had a larger voice in terms of reproduction. So females did select in multiple ways, (anyone who says it's all males is being silly) but their selection power was below the selection power held by males.

I've used Cloud Firestore extensively in some of my personal projects. I also have lots of feedback and suggestions I'd love to share with you if interested. Is there still a way to participate in this program or get in touch with you?
Everyone I know who is not in tech has already dropped out or only uses Instagram. (I know Facebook owns Insta) I think Mark knows how useless Facebook is to people which is why he is aggressively trying to maximize his profits and still using really dumb PR tactics. He has been milking the idiots and kids for years, whats another 3.

It's not a euphemism. It's an accurate description of what matters. I would have chosen "collapse the building" or "level the building", despite being undisturbed by the death. The writer isn't about to distract from the topic at hand by going off on an opinionated tangent about death.
American-style table saws (that you see in literally every YouTube video involving wood) are fairly rare in professional woodshops in Europe. Almost every larger shop has a format / sliding table saw, which avoids several (but not all) "classes" of kickback and other safety risks in the first place. Even small shops often have scaled-down sliding table saws (which have been around for many decades, usually using round steel bars for guiding the table instead of the more complex double-roller designs used by Altendorf & Co.). A Sawstop-like system could still be a useful addition, though.
The startups I've worked for, co created with coworkers who had H1-B visas (and green cards) created a lot of IT consulting gigs. We might even have hired you. This is as we went from 40 to 400 employees. Those H1-B visa holders created gigs for you to work. Even the consulting gigs you are competing for and losing are creating more consulting gigs later on. You are counting those right?

It's not simple, your intuition gained from media stories is not correct. You should instead read what economists say, they usually find that native wages and jobs are increased by immigrants.

Just think about how many dumb stories the media writes about stuff you actually do understand. Like - is your usual biggest project risk really hacking? Nope, it's the 50% chance a software project won't succeed at all.
No, I mean that, if the IOMMU is off or if it allows access to an address, then MKTME will treat that access exactly as though it was a normal access from the CPU. So, if the device selects the right key (the key uses some otherwise unused physical address bits), then the device will access the decrypted data.
$93k does not give a very comfortable lifestyle in SF/NYC.
USB interface SDRs and spectrum analyzers capable of up to only around 1000 MHz are really cheap now.

$93k supporting a family (stay at home partner, two kids) is most definitely not comfortable, whether in the Midwest or the coasts. Insurance premiums alone would be ~$15k/year (pretax, but still). Throw in a mortgage or rent @ $1500/month, that's another $18k/year, you've already consumed a third of your wages.
>I don't buy it. FAANG pays X, so other companies know they need to pay 1.3X to hire FAANG level engineers.

no. The rest knows that they can pay 0.3-0.5X to hire the rest of the engineers. C people hire C people and there are always more than enough C people around. Our BigCo has no talent shortage for example(we'll even be cutting 5-10% in the next few months - just fat trimming, the company has no financial issues forcing to do it), and i have hard time imagining what would a FAANG level engineer would be doing around here - try to imagine a Stanford CS MS grad with the thesis in deep learning helping a huge enterprise customer through 6 stages of grief during the escalation call :)

The overall stagnation is only overall. Inside the tech salaries distribution there is a structural change of it becoming strongly bi-modal. So there is very high competition for talent and very high salaries (Google L5/6/7 medians being like 550/650/750 with the rest of FAANG being similar) at the high segment, and the rest just happily chugging along with 2% yearly CPI increase at best which actually means slowly sliding downhill instead of mere stagnation.
I would not want to invest in a company in which high ranking officers did not have the ability to push back against the CEO. Rarely is one person always correct. Steve Jobs famously did not want to port iTunes to Windows but angrily consented to doing so due to pushback by people who reported to him. Musk has a very strong personality and an investor ought to want equally strong personalities in key positions since TSLA ought not be a dictatorship.

Cloud firestore supports placing rules on the database to prevent access by users that aren't authorized. You can independently control get, write, update, list, etc. The way the rules work can sometimes be irritating, in particular for list queries, but they do work.

In terms of rate limiting the only one I'm aware of is writes to a single record are rate limited. This impacts normal development when making counters that need to be updated, which leads to an odd "sharded counter" model.
My partner is struggling with this very thing at her work, I'm curious: what are go-to resources for PMs in terms of professional development?
Disagree, a country has the right to determine what kind of immigrants it prefers. People with in demand skills should have preference over those without. Nobody has a right (except in certain rare circumstances such as asylum) to immigrate to another country. H1s specifically are employment visas. The country shouldn’t take in for employment a bunch of people it doesn’t need should it?

Why isn't there a hosted, easy to use relational version of Firestore? I'm using Firestore right now and it's absolutely frustrating in the lack of relations, the lack of accumulation queries (COUNT, MAX, MIN) and in general the limitations of storing what's essentially arbitrary JSON. How is it that to count the number of entries you either need to build in a counter on your own (which can cause race conditions because counters are hard) or manually go through the entire collection and count?

Another option would be a typed JSON db, essentially you could store JSON that corresponds to typed structs a la serde. Would't solve a lot of my problems, but at least I'd have some built in validation.
In ~1992/93 I lived in Reno Nevada. Around the corner from my house was a gun store, owned by this Chinese guy. I liked guns and military stuff (my brother is Colonel in USAF) and so I would go in there quite frequently. And I was on friendly terms with the owner...

He had a huge cannon that you could pay him $500 to drive out into the desert and shoot [0]

I was 17, it was early 90s and Nevada. He had just imported two shipping containers of new (mfr date 1968) Chinese made SKS rifles and was having a special on them, $99.

I bought one - and was talking to the guy and he pulled out a three ring binder and said "want to see what that can do?"

And he opened it up and he had effectively a catalog of pictures of the fatal wounds various weapon rounds would cause. (pictures of dead people)

I was deeply disturbed. I never went back in there...

(He also offered to sell me claymore mines which he had up on the top shelf all around the store... [THIS SIDE TOWARD ENEMY])

The unusualness of the pound is about 10%, +/- the usual variations, isn’t it?
Let's break it down then.
The first paragraph opens with, "the first fully flexible device that can convert energy from Wi-Fi signals into electricity that could power electronics." This is blatantly false.

The second paragraph is sort of true. They are using their novel diode in an otherwise standard antenna structure.

Third paragraph repeats the second. Mentions that it can be manufactured in sheets?

Fourth paragraph sort of repeats the previous but this time as a quote from someone.
The Quote, " have come up with a new way to power the electronics systems of the future — by harvesting Wi-Fi energy in a way that’s easily integrated in large areas — to bring intelligence to every object around us." It's pure marketing speak. We need more funding, let's throw ai onto this for some reason.

The next 3 paragrpahs are repeats of, This device that provides power can be used to provide power to things. It at least mentions a broad figure of merit, 40 uWatts when exposed to 150 uWatts.

We are now half way through the article when the next paragraph finally mentions rectifiers, giving a brief but not great definition of what they are and their current state of the art. It mentions some problems with modern rectifiers, which are not actually true.

The next paragraph is actually only a single sentence and contains the entirety of the new development that the whole article is supposed to be about!

The next paragraph tries to explain the shortcomings of current Schottky diodes with bad physics.

Another quote about the device but lacking in broader context.

The second to last paragraph gives a better version of the efficiency figure of merit from earlier. Lacks details.

Last paragraph is a list of funders who are paying for the research.

That is a pretty crappy fluff to meat ratio in my book.
There's an excellent account of how the US forces in Vietnam forgot and re-learned the lessons of WW II urban warfare during the Tet offensive in the battle for Hue in Mark Bowden's "Hue 1968: A Turning Point of the American War in Vietnam" [0]. It's an excellent study of urban warfare and in general a great military history. Includes first hand accounts by soldiers and civilians from all sides. Highly recommended.

Well that's a new one for me haha.

It's just "psych". Like "Here's a million dollars. Oh, PSYCH!" An older (more complete) phrasing is "to psych someone out", meaning you mess with somebody (psychologically). I've also seen it spelled "sike", but never "psyke". I wonder if your spelling is common too.
All good points, but sometimes you solved all other problems and slow CI does become the bottleneck. My last work project and open source project (Rust) happen to be in such situation.
Orwellian thread reporting China's Surveillance State
One thing that I will note is that Matthias often makes somewhat risky cuts and is known to joke about what the "safety police" will think of it.

He obviously has a very deep understanding of his tools (since he built most of them) and where the danger lies, but I would say that he also intentionally accepts a little extra risk with cuts to save time. In his specific case I think he does have enough experience to make the trade-off safely, but if you were a new woodworker I would not learn any safety techniques from his videos.
The narrative that Tesla has a 'fleeing execs' is mostly false. For years every-time somebody lefts there are articles claiming that managers a fleeing. Overall however the turnover rate is not very exceptional and somehow Tesla still has highly performing managers after years of 'fleeing execs'.

Tesla is continuing to grow at a high rate threw all that so its really hard for me to see this as anything other then narrative.
Doubly surprising in that the average person's introduction to the three laws was likely the Will Smith I, Robot movie, where the laws being at least incomplete was a big plot point.

> I'm trying to understand what you're saying - so lots of apps are abusing privacy rules, thus it would be a problem if Apple banned those apps because then there would be few apps left?

Yes.

> Are you arguing that privacy abusers should have safety in numbers?

No.

The argument I'm trying to make is that the choice for Apple isn't as easy as the article makes it out to be. If Apple decided to remove every app that collected excessive user data, the App Store would be quite bare. This isn't something that I think users would let Apple get away with.
I don’t know Musk but from what I’ve read about him from an ex-wife of his and those who have worked for him Must is most likely not going to listen to anyone he doesn’t have to. He appears to have a Trumpian incapacity for admitting wrondoing or admitting that a decision was wrong. I would not want to invest in a company run by him if it didn’t have strong people in key positions.
All of the these countries have universal healthcare and stronger better labor laws.
I have spent a lot of time in Canada. They have generous social programs and Unions there are doing very well.

The United States puts American workers at a unique disadvantage to immigrants because there isn't much of a social safety net. It ends up a race to the bottom for cheaper disposable labor.
I've been using cloud firestore for 6 months now and haven't had an issue with it. Designing around their rules system has been annoying, and the lack of backups bit me once pretty hard (I built https://firesafe.app as a result), but other than that it's been great.
> Is there any social network that you trust?

The real one?

I didn't know they had smart munitions, interesting. I guess what I'm picturing is a Mk-47 with smart munitions mounted on a remote weapons station on an APC/IFV. Putting it on an armored vehicle makes it more maneuverable of course, but it also provides protection to the gunner. Unlike warfare in a more open setting, due to the presence of buildings you may have to get well within the range of small arms fire to have line of sight to your target.

And apparently there's some work being done on equipping Stryker's with the XM813, a 30mm Bushmaster autocannon that can fire programmable air bursting rounds. Which might accomplish the same thing.
General question I've been wondering tangentially related:

Engineers:

is working [edit: replacing 'under' with 'with' due to replies! good clarification, didn't mean under] with a non-technical product manager a dealbreaker for you? (Do you look to filter out places you'd work at while job searching?)

Conversely, have you ever worked under a non-technical product manager you loved? Would you mind sharing details about your situation?

This looks like the first stand-alone tool I have seen for attestation of user permissions for Okta

What I like is the ability for auditors to delegate and attest to the roles - without given these auditors control of the Okta admin console.

Impressive.
I know of a sub (https://www.reddit.com/r/ProductManagement/), but it doesn't seem to be kept up to date very well.
The fact that people tend to resist change (true) is logically independent of the fact that safety features carry real costs that may not be worth the benefit (also true). Finding examples of unjustified complaints is not a good argument that most complaints are unjustified.

People get used to anything. Their failure to realize what they are missing is not a good measure how much they are missing. Indeed, the people who are most able to assess the cost of the new compared to the old are exactly the old timers who have experienced both, not the new comers who haven't.
When I last looked at Firebase, it seems like they bake auth into database so in this case a user is limited on what data they can read, like a select where uuid === uuid https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/security/user-secu.... And I assume non-authenticated read requests don't have access to everything...
My current approach is to send an email with a temporary password which works for a single login and can be used to change the password. Original password still works. Temp password expires in 1 hour.

It is basically a reset token but allows logins instead of loading up a reset form. One less thing to implement.
Well, it was literally the start of Facebook! Citing Zuckerberg:

Thanks for the great product. Will support for geo queries be added anytime soon?
I can comment on this - it's flawed. They encrypt locally and only send encrypted data to their servers, true, but they deduplicate that data between customers meaning they know file hashes or something similar and could remove pirated content if they so desired. Second, in order to get your data back their solution is to go ahead and type your "private" encryption passphrase into their site so their servers can then decrypt it and send you a zip or hard drive full of decrypted data.

I still suggest it for friends and family because it's cheap and damn sure that encryption is better than nothing, but if you have a lot of sensitive data I wouldn't recommend it. If you demand privacy, use Restic and Backblaze's B2 service, you're paying per GB then though.
You should always favor mdadm (software raid) over fake RAID solutions. Sometimes it's better to use this even over real RAID cards (which are proprietary) because you don't have to find an exact clone of the card if it fails; mdadm is all software. The only time it would be appropriate to use a real RAID card is when the performance gain is an absolutely necessary requirement, or if you need to expose a logical device to the BIOS or OS that maps to the RAID array without additional setup.
Ah, interesting, so you basically put the server side validation code into the database. And nice, it can even handle authentication.
Or execute sql "update active_sessions set expired_at = now() where user_id = $1"

Expiring all sessions should definitely be a critical point on anyone's checklist when building a password reset system.

Spotify didn't have this for the longest time and it was insane. Someone could buy a hacked account for $1 and get pretty much unlimited access. Though a special sort of infuriating softwaregore because you had to listen to what they were listening to.
> The original issue is not with an App Store app, but with an enterprise certificate that circumvented it.

The author of the article seems to be going in a different direction, specifically, the excessive collection of data in App Store apps. This is a hard problem to solve because this category now seems to encompass the majority of apps on the App Store, and Apple can't just remove them all without massive backlash from their users.

Working with more senior PMs is the only working solution I have found.

Product Management is a very complex role...there is no straight forward learning path today other than doing the job ,building shit and strong mentor ship!
Do you think they have difficulty retaining senior talent because they are underpaying or that Tesla is a shit-show to work for?

Either way, it's extremely difficult for younger people to be in CxO positions unless they start a company. I'm extremely doubtful that most can't do the job, it's just that they can't get hired.

I'm sure this person will do just as good of a job as any 50+ yo with an extra decade or two of experience. Typically people that require 10+ years of experience to perform a job are worse off than someone that is capable after only 4-5years. Lots of dumb-fuck boomers out there that had to be spoon fed every iota of information before they could perform at a high level.
I'm a big fan of firestore and live in Colorado. Are there any community events that you host or recommend that would allow me to talk to you, other people at Google, or other firestore community members?
A quick reading of the rule seems to imply that it only applies on roads, not for example in your driveway or a parking lot.

This service feels pretty shoehorned into the rest of GCP. There are little connectors everywhere for Firestore specifically, and they don't fit in cleanly with the rest of GCP offerings. Why is Google so bullish on this thing? I must not be seeing the appeal.
That's arguable. Peer countries (Germany, France, UK, Japan, etc) spend multiples of the US on foreign aid on a per capita basis. They also spend more on their domestic safety nets.

I agree that simply invalidating the patent would have serious repercussions on future safety innovation. But if we decide that it's beneficial enough to require, maybe the government could buy the patent from SawStop for a fair market value.

Another criterion for a good security question: make sure everyone actually has an answer. I use a website that forces me to answer the following question: in what month was your first child born? It boggles my mind that someone at this company could fail to consider the possibility that a user of their site might not have children.
A relatively young pick motivated to prove himself in a highly visible position that others have left seems perfect to me. I think he will be a stable choice and stay for a while.
