I still shake my head at this. If you wrote laws that said manufacturers of a particular thing had to do X, and expected them to adhere to it internally, and then paid expert testing facilities to validate those results, why would you EXPECT that you would have to do additional testing to validate the validation?

And further more, why would you think that merely testing the test would lead to a different result? You can say that the Euro V is "not representative" (as someone else did in this thread) of normal driving, but the FTP test's torque and RPM curves were lifted from real-world driving through hilly areas. It most definitely is representative. I don't know about the Euro V.

So I don't get it. In this scenario, what people are asking the EPA to have done was load up vehicles with mobile emissions equipment (which is a very difficult thing to do, by the way), and validate that the TEST ITSELF correlated with real-world driving. Granted, this is an interesting exercise, but one that I would expect the EPA to - again - pay someone else to do.

Given the engineering that went into the spec on the US side, I wouldn't expect that this was something they should have needed to do. You can say that they were the regulatory body in charge of this, and therefore should be responsible for catching cheaters, but I don't see how a reasonable person can find that the EPA was intentionally negligent in this matter.
I used to use Shopify about 5 years ago and remember thinking they were one of the good ones (company wise). Good platform, easy to work with API, etc.. I even created a few custom apps for a client's site that ended up doing 100k+ through Shopify's POS hardware in a month.

But from all of the comments here it sounds like they've gone down hill. I haven't used Shopify since then mainly because I haven't tried to pick up new work where I manage an ecommerce store for people but is it really that bad now?

How many of you are really going to use an alternative solution for an ecommerce site?
Yep, 100%, and you should have them. You know, after a background check. And one shotgun or rifle, or some reasonable quantity of a type of weapon that meets your needs. No pistols or AR-15s. Norway has strict gun control regulations but require you possess one to leave the built up areas of Svalbard due to polar bears.
How's it going at GSA Tom?
Eh, call it a non-profit or charity. Give the kids who show promise in tech a chance to just start running instead of taking the typical college route. I doubt it'd be on the scale of 10k companies, but a thousand a year? That could be doable. Have the contracts be very generous towards the "students", and try to make up the difference with donations and alumni contributions. It'd essentially become a new form of secondary education, a trade school for tech in a sense.
Yeah so you need only to be super genious to design the system properly and then it won't break.

Welcome to the perils of working with people.
I’m not arguing that you can’t do a lot on a single server but think about how many separate skills you mentioned even after cutting corners for reliability, data loss, or security.

I’ve gone to a bunch of hackathons where some of the participants got derailed on that kind of stuff and never even got to the part of the project they cared about. My point was that it can be worth a modest amount of money not have that overhead on a small project.
One of the more under-appreciated things about Primer is that the first half-hour-or-so really excellently portrays a raw engineering feeling.

The disbelief, the checking and checking again. The "this must be wrong" feeling.

I can't think of another attempt that I have seen that has quite captured it in the same way – other portrayals seem to feel inauthentic.

Does anybody have any suggestions for things that explore this theme well?
An SCR (and EGR, and DOC, et. al.) is a "given" in this equation. There's no hope of passing emissions without it. Even on gas engines, you still need a catalytic converter to pass.
Great, the reason they’re shooting each other isn’t due to not having enough guns. Solve the real problem don’t throw up your hands and say shoot yourselves. Total anarchy isn’t better.

The reality is the shootings are a symptom of a real, meaningful social problem. They’re not the cause in and of themselves. At best allowing people to intimidate each other with weapons is masking the real problem and prolonging the pain of those suffering — while simultaneously giving untrained and unqualified vigilantes easy ways to hurt people. At worst, you’ve just made it easier for people to murder unchecked. We’ve had fairly lax gun policy for centuries so it’s pretty clear your plan to just arm everyone and hide in the sand from the real cause hadn’t worked so far, so why should it start now, all of a sudden?

Everybody knows about the big blockbuster movies because half the budget is marketing. There a lots and independent movies getting produces all around the world. But you will have to seek them out yourself to some extent.
The thing about movies like this is, as low budget and low quality as they are, effects wise, they're consistently so. The result is almost a comic-book aesthetic, and something like a helicopter pasted in to the scene doesn't seem out of place, because everything is ridiculous.

Bigger budget movies, meanwhile, can spend millions of dollars on CG and break immersion entirely.

The people saying it's complicated are looking down from the world of PaaS and FaaS (Heroku, AWS Lambda, Google App Engine) and saying "why they hell would I want to manage this?"

In the US Civil War, general Sherman was brilliant at logistics and military science and had one of the most prescient views of the wars length and brutality at its outset. And yet, US Grant was made the overall field commander by Lincoln. Of Grant, Sherman argued he himself was better at generaling than Grant in almost every way except this:

Grant doesn't give a damn what the enemy does out of his sight, but it scares me like hell.
I'm not sure exactly what you are suggesting, but it seems conceptually similar to Bayesian Optimization, which fits a Bayesian Process to previous evaluations of the objective function, and uses this to estimate the best point at which to evaluate it next.

This is expensive, so is typically used only when the objective function is itself very expensive to compute, such as for tuning hyperparameters.

If you're suggesting training a single neural network to then use as a general optimizer for any problem, you should consider the No Free Lunch Theorem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_free_lunch_theorem

I've played WoW for something like 11 years, from its peak in around 2008-2010 and through its slow decline since. Logging in now and having the reality that this game is actually genuinely fading away is difficult for me to properly process. The gp comment mentioned how non-transient games such as Pokémon are, and how games that do actually fade away are a new thing. I hadn't really thought about this before until the last couple of WoW expansions and its effects on the playerbase.

It makes me really sad to think about; WoW (and video gaming in general) has been a huge part of my life and tinkering with video games under the hood was the kickstarter for my career. I don't know if I will ever find a replacement for it when it's gone.
I love investment in trains but in the USA, small improvements to investment wouldn't be close to enough. We need EVs because the political will is simply not there for any infrastructure spending. Its either EVs or more emissions, sad state of affairs.

What, to you, makes something a fundamental right?

The EU's document is "Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European_Union"[0], which does grant privacy as one. That pretty clearly does make it a "fundamental right".

Note the US Constitution's Bill of Rights does not offer right-to-privacy (but the 4th provides protection from searches-and-seizures without probable cause, which really doesn't deal with "privacy", especially from non-governmental actors).

Perhaps parent should have said "fundamental right granted by the EU", but in this context it's pretty clear.

You want them to be independent, atomic. How they are deployed and the choice of technology you choose to couple them with? That should be driven by load -- and dynamic.

The reason everybody's so hot on microservices to begin with is that we kept coupling everything all together and it became a huge mess to manage. You don't want to repeat that mistake, only at cloud scale.

Sorry, I probably wasn't clear in my initial question. What I meant is how do DAG based workflows deal with computational graphs that contains cycles? Eg. we have 2 states: Cart and Payment and 2 events: PutItem and Checkout. A simple (external) DSL describing this graph could look like:

Cart --PutItem--> Cart
Cart --Checkout-> Payment

Does the workflow engine in the article exclude situations like this?

Regarding forking what I meant is that if you have:

A --event--> B
^ /
\--undo---/

then if your invariant is to be a DAG then you could "unroll" the cycle into some new state C that you would make semantically equivalent to A.

A --event--> B --undo--> C

This works but causes state explosion.

It seems they literally define "exploitation rate" as rent over purchase price. Then later they add in some estimate of costs of repairs.

But it would be much more interesting to actually see the books. I'd bet a lot of money that the tenants in expensive neighbourhoods are much more likely to pay on time, every month, and to leave when the contract is up. And in addition, the labor in dealing with each tenant is paid for out of $2000 not $200 rent, so more is left for the owner.

In other news, payday loans in sketchy parts of town come with higher interest rates than 20%-down home loans in good neighbourhoods. Does anyone think this is because payday loansharks are uniquely greedy human beings? They are just operating a very different business with different costs.
I agree, but it's fun and sometimes enlightening to let the debate be framed this way

The problem is that a k8s cluster requires hundreds/thousands of lines of yaml configuration just for the core components, including a choice of network overlay. Everybody copies the same default configs hoping they will work out of the box, without understanding how each option actually affects the cluster. Add to this the container and yaml upgrades that should be applied per component every month or so, and it's nigh impossible for most companies to handle.

Kubernetes is far too complex to set up from scratch. The only way to reduce the complexity – or rather, to offload it – is to use managed Kubernetes via AWS or GCE. The fact that using AWS or GCE is effectively the only viable method for running a production Kubernetes cluster speaks volumes to how non-simple the stack truly is.

> Many drivers (ask the dead) are/were under the impression that the car can drive itself.

Everytime you engage Autosteer. You get a warning that says “Always keep your hands on the steering wheel” and “Be prepared to take over at any time”.

More importantly, each driver assistance update also explicitly state the capabilities and you HAVE to toggle them on. No where in the car UX or manual even suggests that it can “drive itself”.

I think it’s you have the wrong impression. Unless you’re speaking anecdotally, which is I highly doubt.

A guy I used to work with once told me that instead of buying a $100k rental house, you should buy three $30k rental houses. We're in a LCOL area, and him and his wife easily made over $200k in salary alone, so why he spent his free time managing all those rental houses is beyond me. He had over 20, and managed them all himself.

Crazy in a good way. I don't think you need to talk about your earnings distribution with either party.

Please remember to keep your hiring process human too and inculcate a culture among seekers where job attributes thus relevant are paid attention to.

As someone who worked in the wall-street in a quant role it can be a mad rush to nowhere and easy to get lost. So if you succeed, you'd be helping a whole lot of people.

Remember though- businesses take time to setup. The more you deviate from the normal the longer it may take you to get established.

I find a few different articles about digital data storage in DNA but they don't seem to tell me why more data can be stored in DNA than classical medium? Maybe I am not phrasing the question right.

""DNA can store digital information in a space that is orders of magnitude smaller than datacenters use today.""

Would this DNA also exist in the same conditions as the data center or does it need more things?
I'd go even further and say there is no novel thinking, only unique recombination, randomness and reaction.
I have an older diesel VW. It is extremely common for people to run tunes that disable the check engine light that is produced when you delete the exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR), urea pump and diesel particulate filter (DPF).

For things like the EGR, blocking it off is simply installing a bracket or two and closing off some vacuum lines. I can imagine people would simply reinstall this and swap the tune to pass and then immediately remove it after.

In the US, for emissions, all you have to do is not run any check engine lights when at the test center which is easy to do in the software tune.
Anyone can build a feature you can. Some market segments have existing players and people shouldn't be afraid to play competitively. You don't live in a bubble and you can innovate all day but your customers are still the same people with the same needs. Either you are solving them, in which case someone else will too. Or you are trying to sell them your toy project and convince them they have a problem that it solves. SV has burned through billions on projects that were hyper niche or had no market at all.

You can make a moat around your product, but that is different. You still have a core value proposition that solves their real world problem and there will be other people solving it too.

Most companies build moats through contractual lock in, trust and size, or simply buying their competitors. I have yet to see a feature only moat.

It’s not about doing anything world changing. There are a few
dangers in burying your head in the sand and not keeping your skills in sync with the market.

- lack of optionality: If for some reason you don’t like your job, you’re stuck because it’s harder to find a job if you don’t check at least some of the boxes.

- alternatively, your job lays you off after you’ve been at a company for 15 years doing ASP.NET Web Forms and you start looking for a job and you find that you aren’t hireable. Then you start screaming “ageism” (I’m 45).

But you are among the most blessed human beings on the face of the earth to be getting paid triple the median salary to sit in a chair typing on a keyboard.

The median salary in the US is $56515 (https://wallethacks.com/average-median-income-in-america/). The median salary for a software developer is $100,690 (https://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/software-develope...)

Also the best way to even get that is statistically to job hop at least early in your career.
We need better models of governance.
