It isn't about the men or the women. The whole point of an actual sperm or ova donation arrangement is to separate the genetics from the social in having children. Sex and rich or poor it shouldn't matter - the arrangement is specifically to aid fertility - allowing the custodial parents full rights and thus the responsibilities while giving minor compensation to the genetic donor who agrees because the cost is minor to them and they can live an undisrupted life. Without honoring the fundamentals the system breaks down.

The point is proper donors should have no parental responsibilities! It should be impossible to dodge actual relationship support with it or misconduct. Dirty fertility doctors who use their own sperm for all patients? Yeah hit them with 47 counts of child support.

Similarly it would be reasonable to have requirements for eligibility in exchange for the "severance" to ensure the child(ren) will be no more likely to require state support than a similiar couple reproducing directly - changes in circumstances can happen to anyone of course.
levels.fyi says an SDE III (Senior SDE) should make $300k/yr in total compensation at Amazon working in a non-inflated city like Austin, TX.

I've been using it as my primary email since around May of 2017. I can only speak for the web and Android versions of protonmail, and those work pretty well (comparable to the gmail app and gmail in the browser).

I'm using the paid version of protonmail with a custom domain, giving me the ability to somewhat easily switch to a different provider in the future if they go out of business or end up losing my trust.
As a PM customer of almost a year, I'd definitely say they should focus more efforts on the UI/UX as opposed to advancing the crypto for now. What's the point of having the world's most cryptologically advanced, unusable inbox. Specifically conversation threading/nesting. I don't expect everyone to be as streamlined as say a Gmail, but basic "1 conversation - 1 email" in the inbox would be nice for starters.
Why are you thinking? You are anticipating various scales of "the future", using memories of past events.

As computers try to anticipate the future more, they may also start to "experience" things.
> We have a very precise definition of time

Well that's a very precise definition of a second (unit of time), but not of time itself.
The web is fundamentally client-server, a naturally centralising model. The problem is less how diverse the clients are, the problem is how few servers we use. You could have a hundred browsers with 1% market share each, it wouldn't prevent us from being Alphabet's puppets.

Technically, most of the online applications we use today don't have to be centralised. Email, social networks, blogs, even videos, could all be hosted on "grandma ready" peer to peer systems. Why they aren't has more to do with how we shaped the market forces. (Market forces didn't come out of thin air. A big centraliser was the political decision to let our bandwidth be asymmetric.)
They are slightly overproducing the SR+ (with fewer battery cells) and slight underproducing the LR (with more cells). What does that tell you about supply constraints?
And how many of those are actually caused by features inherited from C copy-paste compatibility?
The problem is, that just punts the issue down to what is considered objective reality. If that's in contention, as in this specific case, then referring to things as illusory can be ambiguous. I happen to disagree with the comment you are responding to, but I do accept that the term illusion is often used ambiguously, especially in relation to notions of objective and subjective reality.

I'm just amazed that you are calling an interface you need to set up yourself / configure / tweak a bunch of things to get working is "simple" in your eyes compared to Mac OS X, which is simple to lots of people (which would explain why they sell so many MacBooks, in my eyes?)

There are a couple of options. You can either click the big power button style icon in umatrix on any website that allows all js on that website. This will also allow all trackers, etc, but is handy in a pinch when doing something like making a purchase on a new website where you don't want to have something go wrong mid-way because some js was blocked from a critical domain.

You also have more fine-grained control where the matrix interface allows you to white-list specific domains (and you can select whether you want JS/Frame/cookies, etc per domain). If you save your white-listing, that will always be remembered even across other websites. So for example, if I were to white-list twitter.com for js/frame and save that, then if I visit another site that embeds links to twitter widgets, those will work because you've already white-listed twitter.

Umatrix does take a bit of effort initially when you start with a blank slate, but over time, it works fairly well and I feel a lot more comfortable browsing the web with it.
>I was actually more looking for practical issues.

Those are not practical? Billions of dollars have been wasted on issues stemming from this...
I worked in a small sales and marketing office for IBM in the early 90's. I remember the sales people, who made very good money from mainframe sales, openly discussing how they didn't even want customers to know about RS6000's. I think the margins were pretty low on RS6000's at the time.

Anyway, internal struggles holding back product lines is a very real thing.
It's just a car, to the salesman. If I went in and looked for a Chevrolet Equinox and the dealer didn't have anyt, they'd try to sell me another model.

I would think two of the richest companies in the world could figure out how to manage that sort of complexity. Maybe they need to poach a few people from Microsoft to learn how it's done.
While I agree with the main thrust of your point, there have always been boom and bust cycles in nature with no humans involved. Good years lead to overbreeding which leads to food shortages which leads to famine. Animals are capable of overusing their natural resources too, humans are just more efficient at it.
>I'm not sure they've done things anyone considered impossible.

Is this also a joke? They've been doing impossible stuff for literally 10 years, there's plenty examples of people claiming so.

Consider this, there isn't a better car than the one they produced in 2012, and GM's best effort at an EV (the Bolt) lost somewhere between 4-8k per unit.
True, but that's why I said "probably agree". You can be a solipsist and disagree with the existence of time, but that doesn't seem to be a very useful philosophy.

The automobile market is competitive. The automobile industry doesn't have impressive margins. It's not growing, either.

Rocket launch demand is growing like crazy. The market is not competitive. And if SpaceX doesn't fuck up, it likely never will be. In that kind of market, margins will be impressive.
I really really really like thier conversation threading. Because I get so many recurring transactional emails (eg bank statements, auto pay, etc) it makes it very easy for me to view ALL of these in one thread, and not take up a lot of space in my inbox.

Honestly I wish other providers would give me this sort of 'transactional email' conversation tie up because it's convienent. I can see in the last 12 months for example, I have always paid my gas bill on time, at a glance too!
The association of the word with mystery in particular doesn't help to bring clarity in discussions with a scientific context. If I said "semiconductors are an illusion", "programming is an illusion" etc. it doesn't contribute any information. It just confuses.
That was part of it, but also an extra $2,500 for 20 miles more range and a much nicer car was a very appealing offer. I certainly would have taken it.
The claims about Scruton were truncated quotes and dredging up historical statements. I don't think they significantly misrepresent his views; rather, they leave out the subtlety that lets a certain kind of racist think they have intellectually defensible views.

There's a deeply nasty seam in Tory politics like this. Witness Zac Goldsmith's attacks on Khan during the London mayor election - it was racist baiting, and the chap has still gotten re-elected after a brief period out in the cold. Or Boris always going on about letter boxes and bank robbers. It's odious, but it's usually done in a way that can be superficially waved off by psychologically ignored qualifications.

The Last Python Tutorial You Will Ever Need to Watch
Unsolicited opinion on ProtonMail: I'm a big fan. It's not as flashy as gmail, but so far my mails haven't been marked as spam, which was happening with zoho. Unfortunately, zoho doesn't provide free email forwarding, so the migration to PM is taking longer than hoped for.

I'll probably soon subscribe to PM for two reasons: to use the @pm.me domain for outgoing (currently only incoming), and for custom domain support. Also subscribing gets IMAP support (I think).

Hi, author here

You're right about platform features used within apps, many (most? all?) are made available to developers with the support libraries.

However, users will get none of the following until they get Pie (for example)

* ML adaptive battery

* App actions (ML predictive app shortcuts)

* Digital well-being dashboard and limits

* A lot more, as shown on this page (there's a lot of smaller items in the collapsible categories at the bottom): https://www.android.com/versions/pie-9-0/

Each update has a heap of interface improvements, and users miss out on these

Because bootstrap was the first one to fill the "market" and it became widespread and the golden standard. Many people once they learnt that could probably work more efficiently. More bootstrap = less work on a template = more templates = more money. They probably don't feel compelled to learn something new and chances are that there is also a huge demand for bootstrap templates for similar reasons.
I got my grandma on board with avoiding Facebook.

She thought that the principle of "don't broadcast me, just make my stuff accessible" was in play.

I sat down with her and explained what they really do, and it really turned her off. I've been pondering whether I could implement something better. A "this is me" web-connected data vault with fine grained, easy to adjust access controls; but I'm not sure there's any way to streamline the process enough where you could hand it to the user and not have them instantly be out of their depth. I don't believe a centralized solution is the way to go. Too much potential for abuse, and it makes it too easy to manipulate.

Plus, Mastodon may beat me to it.

Also, I've gotten my family/friends to give the various voice assistants a wide birth, sans Siri unfortunately.

Funny how being the techie in the family has turned me into a comparative Luddite. Then again, no one I talk to tends to like being productized either.
Logic was an important piece of the puzzle for me when I was learning. When I started my CS degree, I didn't have this, and some of the courses were extremely helpful in building it.

If you are a very math-oriented person, you might expect that people already know this. But it's not true. We are not born with innate knowledge of it.

I'm talking about stuff like basic propositional logic, maybe a little first-order logic, definitely some boolean algebra, and maybe some Hoare logic.

You might not have to or want to get too formal or hardcore with it, but it really helps to at least have some basic grounding in the subject.

Before I had that grounding, I would spend a lot of effort trying to get code working, but it was often a jumble that I couldn't sort out. The conditions in my if statements were a mess. My loops wouldn't terminate, or I couldn't figure out how to write them.

> Electron (and nearly all retained mode GUIs) will execute 10x more code trying not to execute the rendering code. Just skipping all that checking and jumping to the rendering code is arguably a win in many many cases.

How do you figure? Rendering a single Truetype letter will have dozens of conditional branches, use complex floating point math, and touch tens of kilobytes of cache. And there are many thousands of them in the GUI. Even if you have rendered cache, there is still lots of memory pressure copying data back and forth.

Compared to that, retained mode GUIs should be much more efficient. Even 50 checks are nothing compared to ability to void rendering one line.

Note this is all predicated on screen being mostly unchanging. For example, as I am typing this comment, everything is stationary except for a single line where I am typing.

> The screen is already going to be re-rendered.

This is the key! As you said, if you have to re-render whole screen anyway, then retained mode GUIs will have to maintain draw state and re-render every element every time anyway -- a strictly worse performance.

But most of the regular apps, like editors and chat clients and web browsers, do not re-render whole screen every time. They only do one thing at a time.

For an empirical evidence, look at WinAPI design: this is a retained mode GUI, with lots of effort dedicated to figuring out invalidated rectangles and which controls need to be rendered. This was the only way to make a GUI which is performant enough.
I haven't read the entire article, but the title and first few paragraphs and images/tables are unfair and misleading. This looks like a stereotypical jab at Android that you would expect from a company like Apple Inc. If you want to compare Apples to Apples (no pun intended) you should compare how fast updates roll out to the first party devices iPhone and Pixel. I've used the first two generations of Pixel now and I've never had an issue receiving updates. Google obviously has less control over what Samsung, LG, Huawei, do and that's not even taking into consideration carriers.

But then why won't Pinterest let me match whatever the advertisers are paying for my eyeballs for this year, and continue to gather data on me, just without showing me any ads? Oh, and maybe they could throw in some little inconsequential bonuses, just like Discord Nitro, so it doesn't just feel like paying for ads to be blocked. It sounds like everyone would win.

There are really only a few cases when using fifo queues

This will happen no matter what:

Message enqueued -> getMessage called -> message visibility state set to invisible ->

Various conditions:

1. message processed successfully -> message deleted. message delivered exactly once

2. Message failed to process successfully -> process caught error -> invisibility timeout manually set to 0 by process -> message ends up in DLQ exactly once delivery

3. Message processed successfully -> client failed to delete message —> message times out automatically -> message delivered to DLQ exactly once delivery

And to boot, that stretches the definition of delivery. You’d hardly consider a letter delivered if the postman left it outside the postbox and it blew away.

The message in the failure case didn’t “blow away”. AWS guaranteed exactly once delivery and it put the messages that failed in a dead letter queue. It’s up to the business to decide remediation steps in failure cases. You can even set up an alert when the DLQ is not empty.
So they do. It shouldn't matter in this context.

Unlike in fiction, real-life humans aren't universally perfect to everyone's standards. In some areas they believe or practice something great, in others they say or do repugnant stuff. Fortunately, you can evaluate one's contribution in different areas in isolation, and I wish more people would learn how to do that.
That sounds fascinating! Can you say a bit more about what kind of work you do there? How long have you been going there? Where is it?

You do realize that not everyone that attends Duke is an elite, right? Some of my best friends were as middle class as you can get and were super smart kids who earned their way in. Your view on society is rather jaded as well, probably too influenced by the media and their far-left/far-right biases. In the US, society is definitely somewhere in the middle of "everyone" and "the 1%".
We teach our children that it's fine to be curious, but not to be rude. People we meet do not owe us any form of entertainment. If we get to know them and in the course of discussion they are inspired to share some details of their origins then we'll learn those details. If not we can just read a book.

I admit that society has been impoverished when rudeness is reframed as "microaggression", but that doesn't excuse the rudeness.
