It would also be completely unrealistic as millions of Brazilians would just go to the US and stay there. Reciprocity doesn't work between countries with significantly different wealth and standard of living.

I've been on the receiving end of US visa process. They require you to demonstrate that you have substantial ties to your country that would make it more likely that you'll eventually leave the US. Income, real estate or other assets, children/wife staying, that kind of thing. That's not a guarantee you'll return, of course, it just makes it more likely.
> whereas the U.S. consulates abroad don't allow this option.

Here is a sample of the headphones that I own:

1. Sennheiser HD650 w/ Schiit Magni2/Modi2
2. Sony MDR1000x
3. Airpods

The Airpods sound...not great. Especially when compared to the Sennheisers. Still, I am not going to carry a large pair of headphones (or a dac/amp) everywhere I go just so I can have the very best (tm) audio experience. The reality is that most listening environments are _terrible_ and much of the quality of a given audio device is lost. Airpods check a lot of boxes that are not checked by my other headphones.

> it was just reciprocating the visa requirement of Brazilians to visit those destinations. it was a way to press for more international access for the citizens.

If this was the case, did the strategy work? I'm not sure if there are any countries that reversed its Brazil visa requirement due to reciprocity. Visa policies typically don't sway to political actions like reciprocity unless the country has some kind of leverage. I love Brazil but on this front I feel it overestimated its geopolitical importance (speaking as someone who went through the trouble to get a 5-year Brazil visa and am happy I no longer need one).

Actually, I'd say that support for fast range checks is less important in Rust than in some other languages, because the Rust compiler is quite good at removing the checks when a value can be proven to be in the right range. In general, Rust seems to cope quite well with current CPU architectures, although I do think that there's an open question as to how to support viable parallelism that not quite as fine-grained as current ILP approaches (pipelining, superscalar), nor quite as coarse as to be effectively exploited via multiple threads. ISTM that this is one portion of the design space that Rust might address quite nicely.

That's not a honest evaluation.

The current administration is giving up negotiation power on getting Brazilians more freedom of movement in exchange of facilitating foreigners tourism into Brazil.

You are free to disagree with the government's priorities, but you can't deny it is a meaningful exchange (it is not simply giving up stuff), and that it's aligned with its campaign promises, that people overwhelming approved (as 4 of the top 5 candidates had similar proposals).
Product A, i.e., the search engine, is not just profit-making, it's been Google's primary source of revenue for the the past decade. Google makes billions on paid search results placement. It's the foundation of their business model. Display Ads, Android, etc., are relative drops in the bucket in comparison.

So, do we want to subsidize it? No, because it's a private product offered for profit.

Should we let it die? Sure. Google's not the best search engine anymore, just the biggest. If it has to face some competition, they'll start improving the product again, which benefits everyone. And if it doesn't improve the product, it deserves to die.

- Bacon actually has quite a healthy lipidic profile even with those recommendations (50% monounsaturated rich in Oleic acid, like olive oil; not that saturated fat is actually unhealthy...)

- Same for nitrates; bacon doesn't even have that much, nitrates are not proven to be harmful and most of nitrites/nitrates are endogenous (70-90%) anyway...

It appears to be aimed at students, not homeless people who want to get off the street for one night.

As the Wikipedia article I linked states, flophouses were typically rented by transients -- what we generally call "the homeless" these days. The term "flophouse" originated with hobos and propagated out to the larger culture.

I was homeless for several years. The prices listed in the thing you linked are comparable to what I sometimes paid for one night for a hotel in Fresno.

There are people these days who are without permanent residence who live in hotels. Some definitions of homelessness count them as homeless.

What you linked really doesn't fit what I am talking about. I have seen articles about illegal rentals stuffing multiple people into one room in big cities. They usually found them via Craigslits, iirc.

Most AirBnB listings are along the lines of the cost of a hotel or more. From what I gather, they wind up being a hotel alternative in most cases, not something dirt cheap with no amenities that a homeless person might rent for a night or two.

I blog about homelessness. I still talk to homeless people at times. I've had a college class on homelessness. I'm not uninformed on the topic of homelessness and what homeless people today are doing to get by.

AirBnB rentals are not some bog standard coping mechanism for today's homeless, from what I gather.

I guess it depends on why you're doing the deploy. If the whole point of doing the deploy is to pick up new code changes, then the people responsible for doing those code changes run the risk of having to work over the weekend to make sure they're ready. This can be a big problem at (for example) startups where the same engineers are responsible for writing new code and doing deploys. But it can happen at organizations of all sizes.

If all you're doing is rolling out a new version of Postgres and it's supposed to just work, then a Monday deploy makes perfect sense. However, as a software engineer, the primary reason I've been involved in deployments is because we've written new code and we need to release it. In an ideal world, the code would be completed and rigorously tested by no later than Friday at 5pm. In the not-so-ideal world we actually live in, this isn't always true, which is why I prefer to target deploys for Wednesdays.

hmm I dunno... If you have CD working correctly you should be shipping multiple times a day depending on the product. If there is a problem with the deploy it should be as simple as rolling back to the container image of the last version...with K8s or ECS this takes seconds.

I really hate the whole "let's plan for a midnight deploy" paradigm... and find it very unconstructive.

> and can't be charged while being used

I'll just address this point, because it is categorically incorrect and something many people misunderstood when they were first released.

There are two of them. You can use them independently from one another. When you hear the "low battery" tone, it's trivial to remove one and continue to use the other. By the time the tone plays again in the one you continued to use (signaling critically low battery), you just swap which earbud is in the case. The one that was in the case will be almost fully charged at this point.

The effect is that you can pretty much use them indefinitely without a full interruption. And using only one at a time is mostly unnoticeable.

I agree, most people see this as black and white and not grey. One thing to keep in mind though although making the hotels compete may lower prices for you it always comes at a the expense of someone else. In this case it affects the margins of huge hotel chains (not awful) and in the availability of housing and apartments for people who actually need to live in/near the city you are just visiting (really awful). You obviously can pass laws to swing the equilibrium away from people buying up all the property but at some point it becomes a loss after you factor in AirBNB's cut and you're back to the hotels. Like you said, this is multi-faceted.

One of the biggest barriers to consumer adoption of VR seems to be the cost.

Is there a reason why it doesn't make sense for the manufacturers to do a subscription service? Seems like everything from phones and consoles to game streaming subscriptions is the trend (and makes sense).

If nothing else, it can help increase distribution and awareness -- at the end of the day, more people using the devices is probably gonna kick off more content creation and economies of scale to produce cheaper/better hardware.

Millions? I don't think so. Maybe a few thousands? I think you overestimate the amount of people in Brazil who fancy a life in the US. Furthermore, I also think you overestimate the amount of people who, fancying a life in the US, are actually able to secure financial and social resources to move there.

Needs to be noted, because a lot of people are very confused about this as you seem to be:

The government cannot direct the rating and censoring of material in NZ. It’s an independent commission operating under the strict legislation that establishes it and checked by the judicial system. If NZ had a Trump he could not order anything to be censored. That’s not how it works.

Like a lot of parliamentary systems, NZ agencies and commissions operate independently under the laws that establish them. In the US it’s very different, each new President comes in an appoints a huge number of positions that direct these agencies and those positions have tremendous political influence of them. Hence you can have a new EPA director appointed by someone like Trump who comes in expressly to cut down the EPA and who answers to Trump for his marching orders. This may be where some of this confusion comes from.
I have written an emulation for an old microcoded machine. Although the straight-forward implementation was a multiple of times faster than the original machine, I couldn't resist going for a little more performance.

The microinstruction is 23 bits wide (plus one for parity). Rather than doing a lot of masking, shifting, and testing to extract fields (some fields are non-contiguous even), I instead use 64b per microword.

bits [23:0] -- original microinstruction
bits [31:24] -- 8b op-dependent predecode value
bits [39:32] -- 8b interpreter dispatch index
bits [47:40] -- 8b op-dependent predecode value
bits [63:48] -- 16b op-dependent predecode value

There are a few oddball instructions which could use more than the 8b and 16b predecode fields, and instead do the old shift and mask on the raw microword to figure out what is needed.

Overall, it nearly doubled my performance.
