>>I tried the impossible burger and personally didn't notice a difference.

That makes sense because I reckon you're not actually tasting much meat in the real Whopper. It's just salt and flavours from the other ingredients.

When people say that the beefless 'Impossible Burger' is problematic because it's fully processed ... I say, so what's the difference?
I'd hope so man, but the issue here wasn't that you don't invest "everywhere", it's that a man was profiled based on his name and quickly turned away. I'd try to figure out why that happened.

As questionable as that PR may be, it's hardly enough to justify outright dismissing one of the most successful web frameworks out there.

Still lightly salted they killed off Inbox, but at least they rolled most of its useful features back into Gmail.
> You could also store 1GB of data for free—nearly 100 times what was available at the time.

"You could also store 1GB of data in exchange for letting us read your emails and build an Ad profile based on everything you do in Gmail – nearly 100 times what was available at the time, because no one else dared to do something similar and had no means to profit from this data."

Privacy-aware folks, it's time to move on if you haven't done already.
I really hope I'm not using Gmail in 15 years. Gmail as a product has gotten progressively worse over the years. Google as a company has gotten progressively worse over the years. They make the worst product decisions of all the large tech companies (seriously, how many chat platforms will they create and kill in those 15 years).

I use Fastmail for somethings but sadly it's not quite as good as Gmail (and not as bad in many ways). Anyone care to wager what an idealized email platform will look like in 15 years?
Django is still by far the best web framework as far as I can tell. Every couple years I check what's out there for GoLang, Rust, Nodejs, and Swift, and it seems like it will be a decade or more before anything else comes even close.

Even though a lot of people don't like Django's ORM, at least it does almost everything you would want to do with Postgres. (And if you want more you can always use SqlAlchemy.) Most of the other ecosystems don't even have anything near the baseline functionality built into Django.
Totally unrelated, but the title made me think back to one of my previous roles in the broadcast industry. If you're using a satellite as part of your platform, every second that you aren't transmitting to your birds (satellites), you're losing a massive amount of money. There are always a lot of buffers and redundant circuits in those situations, but things can always go wrong.

Funny tangent- the breakroom at that job was somewhat near the base stations. Some days around lunchtime we'd have transmission interruptions. The root cause ended up being an old noisy microwave.
I usually give my disclaimer: "These aren't real world problems. Some questions involve code that we wouldn't write in the real world. We only have 45 minutes. The goal is to have a conversation about code."

And then I point out that "it's not practical to spend 2-3 days on-boarding you for a job interview. Thus, these questions are contrived. The best way to succeed is to have a conversation about code, and sometimes you need to play a little bit of the 'tell me what I want to hear' game".

And then, for one question, I need to point out that, "I once had a candidate say, 'I like JSON better then XML. XML's outdated.' This question is to discuss concepts that are easy to discuss with C#'s XML APIs, because chances are, you've used them." (And if the candidate tells me that they don't have a lot of XML experience, it's okay.
Exactly that: there would be a large support cost to making it work and so we'd need to think carefully about it. It's not a technical issue at all.

On the open source thing: maybe? It's hard to say. In general, we like to open source libraries and stand alone applications. And we think pretty carefully about the cost of supporting an open source community as well. Which is, I think, a thing people overlook.
You're probably lucky to not have firstname@gmail.com, it'd be inundated by idiots who don't know their own email address signing you up for things.
This has changed with Common Core and the pushing of standardized testing to the lower levels (elementary and middle school), though high schools still tend to have more variation.
The major problem isn't that you now have to ask the user for access for a specific folder, but that you're also stuck with the Storage Access Framework's APIs afterwards, which are somewhat less than satisfactory to use (see also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19525092), don't play nice with native code, etc.
It would be a different thing if the user picking a folder would also offer a way of giving you regular file system access for that part of the storage.

>That doesn't make the Chinese government any more of a "regime" than the US government.

They are both "regimes", if you're American. Are you British perhaps?

From Wikipedia:
"Webster's definition states that the word régime refers simply to a form of government, while Oxford English Dictionary defines regime as "a government, especially an authoritarian one"."
Why restrict it to western countries? The UN is made to form a huge bloc of countries that should be aimed at preventing the atrocities seen in WW2 (and before); so far, given what's happening in NK, China and the US it doesn't seem very effective.

(I included the US because it has the highest incarceration rate of the world which disproportionately affects a racial minority; if prisons were relabeled as re-education camps and what happens in there is hidden from the world they would be on par with what China is doing atm)

There is a philosophical debate underlying this. Take the analogy of a ML algorithm:

We know many algos are DESIGNED to be a black box, to be unexplainable. Red team iterates an incredibly effective algorithm that produces the desired outputs (with unseen risk built up as well). Blue team, in order to manage risk, is tasked with .. explaining the unexplainable process? An impossible task.

Is it possible that human/organizational processes can be also unexplainable?
Yah, naming a DNS protocol DOX and then releasing it on the worst day of the year on the internet might not have been a great idea… I suppose we should have seen this coming :)
It should be illegal to charge two different people two different prices for the same procedure at the same facility.

The whole model of negotiated rates, rebates, etc. needs to go.

I also think the concept of networks is bizarre on the face of it. A certified medical provider should be covered to perform procedures in their area of expertise. Period.

Personally I like the idea of anyone who wants to be able to buy into Medicare A & B. And if you don’t have Medicare then you can always pay the Medicare rate of the procedure at 100% (versus having Medicare where your copay is 20%).

If insurance companies can’t compete with that then great.
At most organizations, whether public sector or private, you only get significant raises on your initial hire and if you change positions/job titles.

It's hard to get a big raise without taking on more or higher-level responsibilities.
I worry about this too. Pervasive surveillance and monitoring of communications could make an authoritarian regime super-stable and impossible to reform from within.
Building reactors takes too long and is too expensive. It's too late to go all-in on nuclear.
They also probably want to roll out in batches to reduce the impact of bugs, not just to measure resource usage. But absolutely agree that once they get comfortable bringing in 100k at once is perfectly possible.
That's microcredits, isn't it? Definitely one of the bigger successes in supporting development in poor countries, all the more effective because they're loans that get paid back and can be loaned out again. But I'm not sure it's a great model for rebuilding after a disaster, which requires money that's not going to be paid back.

Or so it seems to me, at least. Maybe you know something I don't.
Lofthellir Lava Tube Ice Cave, Iceland: Exploration and Mapping via Drone Lidar
I don't think that is a fair characterization of what I wrote.

If the scanning process has a sensitivity of 99.999%, and the next stage in the signal chain has a sensitivity of 50%, and we consider what happens if the MRI sensitivity drops to 99.9%, that's well in the noise in terms of diagnostic value. Use some of the extra money freed up by doing the MRI 10x faster to pay a radiologist to look at the scan for 10% longer, and perhaps the net accuracy has improved.

What is unacceptable about this kind of holistic reasoning about the system? High performing systems are frequently not composed of perfect components.

Well... the thing with a hosted service is the host needs to protect their arses as well, and WP resource abuse can get fascinating - a mandatory cache plugin is not _that_ bad. It's not The Right Way, but shipping WP without enabled cache or a full page cache isn't either.

I actually understand this perspective, having hosted wordpress sites and having written wordpress cache plugin myself.

You're not getting paid to work during this time.

If this will help you in your career in general, e.g. you'll learn technology skills that will also be relevant to future jobs, then doesn't seem like a problem.

But if this is company-specific learning that won't translate to future jobs, you're basically starting the job with the clear message that you will do work for free. This is bad. It's important to set boundaries from the start, or bad managers will have you working long hours.

Anything that uses the Android built in IPsec VPN is going to be fine unless the app really goes out of it's way to be crappy. This uses Wireguard in userspace so is likely actually a battery drain. Less than OpenVPN at least.
It seems to me that in practice, Cloudflare's mission is not actually to build a better Internet, but to offer an alternative, proprietary network (one could call it the CloudflareNet), and convince content providers and consumers to use that network. Because I don't want any single company to have too much power, I'll stick with the standard Internet, which is not owned by any single company.

However, I realize that the problems with mobile Internet performance and reliability are real. So when HTTP/3 is stable, I'll do what I can to help it spread.
It is wrong. Warp is the third-party implementation.

It would be amazing if it could be made to work from standard wireguard, but I suppose there's a chance that if desktop versions arrive, you'll be able to extract the keys.

The only thing stopping that would be if Cloudflare broke the protocol.
Software as a Reflection of Values with Bryan Cantrill

This seems so strange to me, this sharp distinction between algebra and non-algebra. I might have gone to school in the Soviet system so everything was backwards and such but we were introduced to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_algebra very early and just did simple expression transformations, variable substitutions. That was a lot early than 8th grade. I even taught my 2nd grader a few of those.

I have observed the curriculum so far in US, at least up until the 2nd grade and it's a hot mess. Even for double digit addition problems they jump right into "cool tricks" and "mathematical thinking" while there are just really a few steps to memorize and, guess what, kids are great at memorizing stuff. Later on it's time to show a few short-cuts and kids even discover those themselves.

Now going back to algebra, I am firm believer that a simplified version of this has to be introduced much earlier. It's a bit like a spiral, do basic arithmetic, geometry, number line manipulation, simple word problems, next year do the same but more complicated, add some algebra in there and so on.

But I guess that's just too boring and teachers, and probably higher level authorities, decide that they need to do "something" so they start making changes just to they can slap something on their resume. Developers do that too some extent, "here let me rewrite all this..." we can certainly understand that, but doesn't mean it's a good thing.
That thread is about Google Ads. If Chinese people can see Google Search, they're using a VPN and can see that website. Without VPN, on the other hand, it has been blocked by the Great Firewall since at least 2015: https://en.greatfire.org/https/www.hongkongfp.com
On any given number of cores, sure. The original Transport Tycoon came about before multi-core systems and, as it was DOS based, even threads.

Power consumption is a product of cycles plus memory read/write operations.
2FA Is Still Too Complicated for Most People
Transport and home comfort are #2 and #3 in the list for your average US citizen for production of carbon output. #1 is food, so in your list, we need to include meat consumption as one of the sacrifices that we must make. This is, stunningly, one of the harder ones for people to adjust to, based on anecdotal evidence.

Changing out your car is easy, as long as you still have a personal vehicle (I think that this logic must change too). Your house needs to be more efficient, but that's fine as long as you have a single family home (I think that this must change as well).

It just seems that there is a logical leap in the list of sacrifices that people have a lot of difficulty with.
Site should load just fine without eDNS -- even "geo-specific" ones. They will just route you as if you came from your local Cloudflare PoP rather than your home IP; usually not a big difference since Cloudflare is in so many locations.

I'm not having any trouble with bbc.co.uk on 1.1.1.1, maybe it was a temporary hiccup.

No, partial differential equations would be the fourth semester.

Calculus I is differentiation. Calculus II is integration. Calculus III is vector calculus, with stuff like curvature in 3 dimensions. Differential Equations would be the next class.

The AP test covers differentiation and, optionally, integration. It's the first semester or two. This is what a good high school student will do unless the school itself is really bad or really small.
There is a really, really interesting breakdown of this document on kitchensoap.com [0]

The writer breaks down why this document is not a post-mortem despite superficial similarities.

>Again, the purpose of the doc is to point out where Knight violated rules. It is not: 1) a description of the multiple trade-offs that engineering at Knight made or considered when designing fault-tolerance in their systems, or 2) how Knight as an organization evolved over time to focus on evolving some procedures and not others, or 3) how engineers anticipated in preparation for deploying support for the new RLP effort on Aug 1, 2012.

>To equate any of those things with violation of a rule is a cognitive leap that we should stay very far away from.

>It’s worth mentioning here that the document only focuses on failures, and makes no mention of successes. How Knight succeeded during diagnosis and response is unknown to us, so a rich source of data isn’t available. Because of this, we cannot pretend the document to give explanation.

He also makes an interesting point related to what you're saying: the SEC says the risk management controls were inappropriate, but clearly Knight thought they were appropriate or they would have fixed it.

>What is deemed “appropriate”, it would seem, is dependent on the outcome. Had an accident? It was not appropriate control. Didn’t have an accident? It must be appropriate control. This would mean that Knight Capital did have appropriate controls the day before the accident. Outcome bias reigns supreme here.

I'd go into it more but I would instead recommend you take a look at his breakdown as I'd be trying to do a shoddy summary of a really interesting write-up.

Fast.com is through Netflix, so your carrier is probably throttling. Try a different speed test with no VPN to confirm.
You went from “how can I be clearer” to deciding my criteria for clarity are not relevant in this discussion because we are not arguing free vs. paid. I thought that was exactly what we were discussing based on my original question.

Furthermore, sporadic blog posts/tweets here and there are not indicative of how the vast majority of users feel about this service. Especially paid users who generally are too busy adding value to complain.

It’s worth remembering what email was like before Gmail came around. With their spam analysis they basically fixed email and moved the world towards a simpler web ui for email (as opposed to hotmail etc. of the day).

At my company we don't bother with specific problems. When we ask a candidate: "If you were asked to build x program how would you go about it", the answer we are looking for is along these lines: "I would go online and find someone who has already done the problem and replicate/alter it to fit my needs". The majority of the questions we ask are like: "Where do you see yourself in 5 years.", "What does our company do?", "Present us with a time when you had to overcome a challenge and failed.". If your going to work with someone then its best you know that they are capable of learning. After all, a degree isn't about proving you know something, it's about proving you have the ability to learn and fight for that knowledge when necessary. It proves you have drive and direction in your life; important qualities in a candidate.

It seems like different kinds of pain affect me differently.

Stubbing my toes or getting slapped has never been painful to me, but I've had messed up hormone levels all my life. This seem to have stayed the same.

The pains from doing exercises really lowered. Muscle cramps after going to the gyms are much more easier to ignore.

However I've noticed that since my main hormone is estrogen other kinds of pain are really painful. Cold hurts a lot, to the point where I had to change my winter wardrobe. I've also noticed that the pain that comes from laser hair removal also increased but that may be due to the skin getting thinner and more sensitive.

There's definitively more of an emotional weight to pain now. Stubbing my toes will make me very angry, tripping might make me sad, etc. Before my transition, it was all the same annoying dull emotion of "ow, I'm in pain". Sometimes, I carry the emotional pain a bit longer than the physical pain. Reliving that same emotion later can bring back the physical pain.

Hormones are fun!
Asked differently, do you plan on explicitly disallowing/banning it if people unofficially ran the reference implementation against Warp?

It would be nice to know the policy there. For those of us that do know what a VPN is, and are okay not having access to support, getting things to work without a desktop app would be nice.
