Yes, DJI literally shocked me when I bought the Mavic. They completely bust the stereotype that China is bad at design and innovation, e.g. "Designed in California, Assembled in China". Everything from the build quality, to the packaging, documentation, software, even customer support has impressed me.

They're like the canary in the coal mine, a wakeup signal for the Silicon Valley that thinks they're still on top because design and innovation happens here, and China is only for lower-on-the-supply chain stuff. If companies like DJI replicate, and China gets a few dozen Samsungs and Sonys, which become global brands and symbols of high quality instead of regional brands, one of the shining sectors of the US will have been caught with its pants down by misjudging their competition yet again.
How did you analyze data and results. Did you use a commercial backtesting service or it’s common business practice to use in house data that these firms are sitting on - data that they have acquired over the years?
At a studio I worked at once, two others and myself were assigned to a new project. Since we were the only ones working on the project, we got permission to clear out a storage room and convert it into an office.

It was just the three of us in a decent sized room and I feel that my work satisfaction and productivity was double what it was anywhere else in the open plan office space. There were very few distractions, but our office was open-door and just off a commonly used hallway so we weren’t hiding. We had enough space for a whiteboard and a 4th desk that we used for reviewing work together.

A few months later one of the managers saw what we’d done and decided he wanted it for his personal office. We went back to open plan :(

And why exactly is that considered a fact?

The closer you are to a monopoly, the more required you should be to serve all. We don't allow the electric company to kill your power because you made disparaging emails or bad messages online.

And if you're a monopoly, you should be dealt with heavy handedly. Because power and money only further power and money. Anti-competition laws stem that to an extent.
Same here. With the added bonus of selecting my own schedule. I have a 25-26hr sleep cycle so it is very unproductive for me to be available at 9am or 11am or any specific time daily. I also prefer to work longer hours late at night. Thankfully everyone I work with as well as my wife/kid totally understand this and accommodate my atypical hours.

The end result is I am extremely happy in my work hours and arrangement as long as I don’t have early morning doctor appointments or something.
in the hypothetical scenario where France tries to enforce a huge fine and Google says no thanks, France pushes and then Google turns off service it would be crippling. Google has a lot of power in that sort of negotiation.

Which is why I think it was only a token 0.05% of global revenue for the fine rather than 4%

This is a great comment - thank you for the contribution.

I sort of go back and forth on the point though. I also think monopolies enable and contribute to abuse - but I worry that the multipolar order would just breed new battle grounds for the various contenders to establish supremacy. On the one hand, you can get the space race (woo, the moon!), on the other hand, you can get the arms race (boo and/or complicated yay, nuclear weapons!).
Why is anyone surprised at this point? These companies manipulate legislature; in what world don't they, at the very least, exploit the data that they gather from you to empower themselves? Selling your data off is a far easier moral leap to make.

The only thing that surprises me is that I thought T-Mobile were the good guys. Apparently their stance on net neutrality was empty fan service.

Nothing digital has any semblance of privacy. If you want to take nudies with your significant other, buy a Polaroid camera. If you want to shake hands on a shady deal, do it in person. If it's not the company who develops your product screwing you, it's the people pwning them: just look at what happened to the bastion of privacy, Apple (the iCloud leak).

Stop trusting your digital devices, or, alternatively accept that you have no privacy (which is a completely valid choice).
I meant open regarding the hardware, bootloader, etc., but it seems like sifive has released more code since I last looked and you can now bring up a board without any blobs.

If you want to play with RISC-V hardware right now, I highly recommend taking a look at the Sipeed MAIX [1]. It has a bunch of neat features along with a dedicated RISC-V processor, for a considerably lower price (~$35 if my memory is correct). I've received a M1w, which is working quite well. The campaign has ended but it seems you can get the hardware on external retailers, however I cannot vouch for these [2]. They also have a Telegram chat where the developers of the product talk quite a bit, and if you ever have any questions they're quite responsive and helpful.

Your logic would also conclude that all taxes are a mistake, and a rational municipality would offer a 100% tax break to everyone as an incentive. That seems like too strong a conclusion.

Agree, the acronym shouldn't need to be dereferenced. The thing you plug in / swipe is a card --> call it a card. If you want someone to enter a number, say number. So "CAC card" is (label="CAC", object type=card).

If someone needs l to be pedantic they can go to the/Pedantic or something. You can argue that PIN itself is wrong, as it doesn't identify a person at all, the account number in the identifier, what you enter is a secret.

I believe I proposed the same thing when I was 13.
Your explanation might be correct, but that's not what many cities offered Amazon. Most offered comprehensive packages that offered to subsidize wages and construction, improve infrastructure, etc. on top of the basic tax credit you refer to. The city would likely be out any of the money it put up for infrastructure upgrades if Amazon had bailed on them.

Montgomery County, Maryland offered an $8.5B incentive, which included $2B in infrastructure & transportation improvements around the HQ site. If Amazon had pulled out, $2B went towards optimizing an area that's no longer a job center. Philadelphia's incentive included $1.1B for essentially the same function. Atlanta offered $2.2B in infrastructure investment.[0]

...unless it's been widely rolled out already. They just need to make sure that it doesn't fuck up during initial testing.
maybe, but when it comes to calling bluffs it would be much harder for the government to sustain continued denial of services than for Google et al to keep the case in court

The idea of compiling everything together into a single DFA is very old. However, this doesn't always work - it will result in a combinatorial explosion in many cases (informally, if the patterns contain a lot of states that overlap with other potential states you might be in from other patterns or elsewhere in that pattern). So DFA merging is a dark art and many people spend whole careers taping things to the side of the basic DFA algorithm to handle this.

This doesn't seem to come up with most lexers because the idea of using some crazy overlapping tokens doesn't sound great - i.e. you're probably not going to want to allow your tokens to overlap that much. So it's not a problem for lex, but it might be a problem if you're scanning 10,000 text analytics patterns simultaneously.

Concatenating patterns is fine for RE2 - and RE2 can survive this - to a point. However, RE2 just falls back to a 'survivable' Thompson NFA regex when determinization fails and has no other strategies.

For backtracking engines, concatenating patterns with "|" is equivalent to just trying one pattern, then the next, etc.

Would like to know where do algo trading firms / quants / prop desks find the dataset to backrest your strategy? Is it common to use a commercial service or does these organizations use their own data that they have collected over the years?
A point often overlooked by war history buffs is that you can't evaluate a weapon - any weapon - in isolation. “Was the Sherman a better tank than the Panzer/T-34/whatever” misses the point.

A weapon has to be evaluated in terms of how well it fits in the machinery that is the military fielding it. Does it align with that military's tactical and strategic doctrine? How hard is it for it's military to keep it fielded; is it easily supported by the logistics arm? How hard is it for country fielding it to produce in the numbrs needed? And so on.

The Sherman wasn't the strongest or best armored tank of WWII, by a long shot. But it could be manufactured in ansolutely stupendous numbers, and it was easily supported and serviced by The American and Allied militaries. And it supported the warfighting doctrine of the US Army in the European theater, in that it was built to be utilized in close coordination with infantry.

The Tiger was a fantastic tank on its own. But the Germans could never produce it in the numbrs needed, and when it broke it stayed broke. It was a bear to strip, so in terms of helping win the war, it sucked. It was a terrible tank.

The T-34 was easily manufactured by the backwards Soviet manufacturing base. That's what the Soviets needed. It was good enough in battle. It was a great tank.

Anytime. Good luck! If you need advice, feel free to ping me.

My three tips are: 1-Make sure you get a good Z calibration before the first layer (run the calibration a few times). 2-Wipe with Isopropyl alcohol between prints, and 3-If you ever start getting adhesion issues, wipe with Acetone.

Sounds like a nightmare. I'm very social but despise the constant efforts to add extra social fluff (team lunches, movies, etc.), much rather prefer learning on my own and don't like "startup culture". I want to work how I want to, where I want to, whenever I want to, no ridiculous team ceremonies, no useless meetings. I just want to do an excellent job and go home early.

It's just work.
Though some designers really do know UI/UX design, they just aren't as much of an expert with HTML/CSS.
So I think that is why the fine is 0.05% of global revenue instead of the full 4% that can be enforced under GDPR. Both the government and Google can spin it as a win.

But say instead France asks for 4% of global revenue, and there are rumblings from Spain, Italy, Germany, UK, Sweden, Poland, Romania, Denmark and Greece that if France is successful they will do the same.

Suddenly the potential fines are 40% of global revenue, but Europe doesn't generate 40% of global revenue.

My first software engineering job was with a big aerospace company about 20 years ago. Back then, budgets were big and the culture was completely different. Even the lowest peon had a huge cubicle with lots of desk space and privacy. Standups were not a thing and Agile wasn’t on the radar. We had lots of time to do anything we were assigned and never had to do much reporting aside from weekly meetings. We all had a general sense of schedule but it wasn’t rushed at all. We also didn’t have rhe always-in communication tools like Slack. Phone calls and face-to-face were it. This all made for a very relaxed environment where no one felt rushed and we had time and space to contemplate and concentrate. This is where I learned and created the most. I basically taught myself Perl, Unix (we had SPARC x-terms), Java, bash, csh, ksh, SQL, Javascript and web application development, and so much more, all of which I still remember to this day. I was happy and relaxed and pretty much always looked forward to learning and exploring more every day. Clearly this type of environment works well for some people, and it certainly did for me. I credit these early years to my success. Fast forward 20 years and I am in a completely different environment - open office
plans that encourage collaboration but also distraction, Agile tools that promote micro-management down to the number of minutes you spend on a task, daily stand-ups (sometimes multiple per day if you’re involved in several projects), and constant reporting to management, SCRUM masters and POs. Oh and chat tools. These constant interruptions often make it impossible to truly do creative and deeply thoughtful work. Most of what I do is rushed and measured and we are always analyzing what we can more efficiently and quickly. Responsiveness to messages are also scrutinized. Oh and all the meetings - Sprint planning, retrospectives, reciews, backlog grooming, etc. I estimate that most of what I do these days is a lot of administrative busy work and useless overhead, which is definitely not conducive to doing what I believe I do best - write code.
4chan was the punk rock of websites in an era of increasing corporatization of the internet. It was an incubator for internet culture before other websites took that mantle and ran with it (Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, and even Facebook now fill a similar role).
Apple could add an option to disable A-GPS, leaving the device relying only on satellite GPS.

- allow flexibility to work from home

- those who like open office can sit together, but for the rest, provide a semi-isolated quiet/dark area to concentrate in and a whiteboard.

- plenty of conference rooms.

- if expecting to work with new tech/framework, allow
reasonable time to learn during work hours.
- allow time for documenting

- allocate time for fixing tech debt every sprint

- provide training on the product being built

- give good insight into product decisions

- if unexpected work has to be added mid-sprint, pull something else out!

- acknowledged that when someone worked all weekend to finish something that they get a bonus day off some other time

- keep process meetings to minimum

- when a developer brings up a security flaw, take him/her seriously

The goal of GDPR is to discourage bad business practices. It's expected that fines should be prohibitive for predatory business models. Until Google will comply - or go out of business - the fines will grow.

That's one silly power fantasy.

But what if they really tried to do it? Well, the most likely outcome would be the US government declaring Google a risk to national security, and taking direct control. After all if this could happen to France, it could happen to the US, and governments of sovereign states really really hate non-state competitors that could potentially meddle with the operation of the state.

After that, whatever remains of Google would probably be auctioned off to cover the costs of the backlash (and probable legal action) from Google's corporate clients.
One slight alternative which I've had in the past was instead of debt pay down every sprint, it was every N sprints, we'd have a pay down sprint.
