That's exactly what it's for.

To put a finer point on it, a daily stand-up meeting should be no more than 15 minutes long, and about three specific things. Each person should talk about exactly these three things (or less, if you can say that one or more of them are not known or relevant yet):

1. What am I working on now

2. What is in the way of getting this thing done

3. What will I work on next

The value of the stand-up comes from the replies you can get from your other team members when they hear your report...

(1) "I know something that you need to know in order to get that done well, or done at all" ...

(2) "I can help with that thing you've identified which is in your way" ...

(3) "Here's something you will need, let's get it ready for you..." or alternatively "That's not going to go well because XYZ isn't ready yet, so maybe plan to work on this other thing instead"

If these things aren't coming out of your daily stand-up meetings on a regular basis, then something about how your group is doing them is wrong.

Talking about what you did yesterday, that is already over and done with (as you say), provides absolutely no value ... unless you know from a previous stand-up that someone was actually waiting for that thing. But if you really knew that already, you should tell that person directly, as there's really no reason to save it for the stand-up unless there just wasn't another opportunity.
Tython | Salesforce Software Engineer | San Diego, CA | Full-time or Part-time | ONSITE or REMOTE | https://www.tython.co

Tython provides consulting services to Salesforce partners, customers, and ISVs with a focus on lightning web components, Apex development, and backend integrations.

As the founder at Tython, I've been working on the Salesforce platform since 2010 and in that time provided consulting and development services to Fortune 100 companies and nonprofits alike, released products on the Salesforce AppExchange, and spoken at Salesforce’s annual Dreamforce conference multiple times. In 2014 I formed the DC Salesforce developer group and later that same year my team and I were awarded 4th place and $20,000 at the Dreamforce Hackathon.

Tython is currently a two man show, but we're looking to build out a fun, diverse, and supportive team of both junior and experienced Salesforce software engineers. Reach out if you would enjoy working with a small group, having a flexible work schedule, and building complex applications/integrations with the Salesforce platform.

Interested? Send your resume to careers@tython.co (no recruiters please)
Why wouldn't they just go to that users isp and get that info?
OEM: Let's differentiate our otherwise
commodity hw product!
OEM: I know, let's add value with bundled
software the customer can't uninstall!

Then the bundled software turns out to (inevitably) be useless vulnerable garbage. Inevitably because a) the customer doesn't need it, b) it's engineered with all the effort that normally goes into adware for captive audiences (i.e., _minimal_), which means it will be vulnerable.

Here's an idea:

OEM: Let's differentiate our otherwise
commodity hw product!
OEM: Let's add NO bundled software.

That would be fantastic.
All of Thatcher-In-The-Rye's tenure has been an extended 'Yes Minister' episode. Though I think the writers would never have gone quite as far as Boris 'Fuck Business' Johnson. Who may very well become our next PM.

I wouldn't call that good. More like a bad solution to a problem which shouldn't exist. Nothing should ever be located in system firmware save for the boot firmware and perhaps a basic diagnostic tool like memtest.
Maybe I missed this, but where do politics play a role in this idea? I could see if these were gov't run/funded places, but these could thrive alone via private business just as many restaurants do. Both parties could exist alongside each other.
I'd keep them on board but I'd get rid of that backdoor and encourage them to adapt to the new situation, for a number of reasons:

- 'OldTubers' vs. the new Googlers is a clear us v. them thing. Bad for culture, especially when you get privileges on top.
- Their plan was actually successful so there must have been a thing or two to learn on the product side, even if it's as simple as accepting engineering input and understanding the difficulty of maintaining stuff (as opposed to relying on the analytics).
- There's some good thinking and ingenuity in there, despite the methodology.

I'd want to keep hold of that talent while dealing with burgeoning elitism. Up to them to quit if they don't like the changes. Fire them if their contribution begins to suffer.
>I imagine a few people a year skip bail, and I think it's fair to say most of them don't have a 16 million police operation thrown at them.

So? It's only to be expected that more money will be spent on enforcing the law when it's being flagrantly violated in the public eye.

I think in reality you object to any attempt to hold Assange to account for skipping bail, and you'd be no happier if only, say, £10,000 had been spent in attempting to do so. If you don't object to the law being enforced, I don't think you can really object that "too much" money is being spent. It's up to the relevant authorities to figure out when enough is enough, financially speaking.

The UN finding was daft, as Assange was not detained at all, and hence obviously not arbitrarily detained. If you look into that in more detail, you'll find a dissenting view by one member of the relevant panel - presumably the only person with his or her head screwed on:

> The finding in Assange’s case is a surprising one. As a dissent by the working group’s Ukrainian member, Vladimir Tochilovsky, points out, there is a thin basis upon which to argue that Assange is detained in the Ecuadorean embassy. “Mr. Assange fled the bail in June 2012 and since then stays at the premises of the embassy using them as a safe haven to evade arrest,” Tochilovsky wrote. “Indeed, fugitives are often self-confined within the places where they evade arrest and detention.”
The non-facetious point here is that you have to root your trust in something (whether that's the maker of your reproducible build system, or your device, or your app, or the online service you use, or the chip foundry that made the CPU that runs your built-from-scratch-paranoid-OS).

It's better to have to trust somewhat verifiable promises about the Facebook app than to have to trust unverifiable promises about Facebook-the-entire-organization. That's the advantage that E2E provides.
Open Source Query Compiler for Your Data Store
I find it ironic that Mozilla complains about this, when they do exactly the same wrt platforms supported by Firefox.
That would be my first instinct as well. Atleast when I interned metallworking, the supervisor did have atleast one lesson where they talked about making sure components don't fit into places they shouldn't. If two gears on a machine have different requirements then they should be made to not fit into eachother's places. It makes maintenance easier since there is only 1 correct way to build the machine from any set of spare parts.
As Williamson will no doubt appreciate, a similar story was an important plot point in the original UK House of Cards (the PM's brother was accused of taking advantage of inside knowledge of government decisions, the PM was implicated in leaking them to him, but the investigation was dropped as soon as he resigned).

Regarding the last point, not really. It gave BMW access to smaller engines then they had in-house. AFAIK they switched to BMW engines once this whole down sizing started and they had the engines in house. And MINI sales were never an issue, so the idea was sound.

Aside from some potential benefits down the road coming from proprietary chips I don't see why Tesla would do it. Also the use cases are so similar that the use of in-house chips will hardly be a competitive advantage. So why burn additional cash on it if you can't afford it?

Tesla, and Musk, are risking everything by loosing focus and discipline. Even at SpaceX with their in-house satellite is goeing that way now. No idea why you would do that either.
Putin signs law to isolate Russian internet
Indeed- I thank the FANGs everyday for pulling up my salary. In 2013 I was making about 1/3 what I am now in the financial industry in NYC doing algo trading/HFT. I was reluctant, but after years of seeming to miss out on the big money that everyone talked about finance people making, I finally just decided to look outside the industry. I got a remote job with a company in the valley, and got a 60% increase in comp, that after 3 years grew to just a hair shy of 100%. I was pretty much the first defector to leave finance for tech in my circles, but more followed. I jumped around one more time, with a financial company who truly pays top tier salaries (to match tech companies), and am now making a full 3x what I was just a bit over 5.5 years ago, with a much better work life balance and general work environment.

I can't imagine this would have happened without Goog/FB/Apple/Netfix, etc. Every day I reap the benefits of their competition for talent without having worked at any of them.
Algodones, NM is a medical and dental border town. Wife of a friend had to get the majority of her teeth worked on or pulled and US dentists and their insurance quoted them around $16,000 out of pocket.

They flew into Algodones and got a hotel, walked across the border and had it done for $2,000 total for a multiple day procedure, anesthetics, and pain relief meds. The dentists are board-certified what from I understand, but don't ask me about the particulars or malpractice statistics.

IIRC, there were about 300 dental clinics alone in the local area to choose from but I don't know if that's an exaggeration.

Here's StatCounter's graph of browser version market share for 2009. IE6 and IE7 were already on their way out, being replaced by IE8 and Chrome.

I was looking for a kinder way to phrase it, but someone with an intellectual disability. Someone with an IQ in the range of 35 - 50.

You're trying to waffle. Have your cake and eat it too.

If you can recognize the fact that there are times when you're just holding back some students, then propping up a gifted student in a normal class to "inspire" the rest is doing a disservice to that gifted student.

We aren't talking about children who are simply "smart", we're talking about children who are so far beyond their peers, it's clearly noticeable. It's the opposite end of the bell curve. Because we're talking about children who are testing at 135 or above.
It's not free, and given how Uber/Lyft/etc have made exactly zero profits despite tens of billions of dollars in capital, not a line of business you want a struggling manufacturing company hemorrhaging cash to pursue.

It's delusional stupidity, and no one should actually take Musk seriously.
And destroy a great deal of culture. No thanks.
For starters, the city is not spending billions of dollars on the Games, the funding is private sources and corporate sponsorships. Second, the 2028 Committee is a private, non-governmental organization...

That being said, LA's homeless problem is largely due to the homeless rejecting housing, rehab, drug treatment, etc. In CA, a person cannot be committed to rehab or treatment against their will. This is the single largest factor behind why CA's homeless problem is so much worse than comparable locations.

Empathy won't solve anything until you convince the homeless "advocates" that rehab and housing is more important than the "freedom" of the homeless to do drugs and wreck their lives.
To be fair, I bet most, if not all, cosmologists would agree that they know far less than they don't know. The title of the article is a bit sensationalistic from that point of view, but then I guess "Cosmology has some big details to work on" isn't nearly as catchy.
You might be half kidding. But one thing I loved in the UK was that people went to cemetery to jog. That is a great multifunctional use of a plot of land.

I live pretty close to a cemetery, however due to cultural customs, I would never think of going there to jog. Unfortunately, there is no other place nearby my house were I could go jogging.
I mean, places like Saudi Arabia and Iran give people the death penalty for being gay.

Being a "sovereign" nation is not a justification for anything. I am happy to denounce bad thing that other countries do, because of my "sovereign" right to do so.
What was the takeaway from the Aeon post? Ascetic practices?
How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy
Interesting view. Near the end, it says:

“The crux of today's cosmological paradigm is that in order to maintain a mathematically unified theory valid for the entire universe, we must accept that 95 percent of our cosmos is furnished by completely unknown elements and forces for which we have no empirical evidence whatsoever.”

Empiricism is based on sense observations. And a lot of science has been confined to human senses. I’m curious if tapping into more basic science research by analyzing different types of senses, for instance, available to animals, may offer breakthroughs down the line. For instance, fish employ the lateral line system to detect pressure gradients in the environment.
A telnet service responds to a plain port scan. So it was categorically not hidden. Vodaphone explain this themselves in the linked register article:

>It added the Telnet service was found during an audit, which means it can't have been that secret or hidden: "The issues were identified by independent security testing, initiated by Vodafone as part of our routine security measures, and fixed at the time by Huawei.

I wonder, if Huawei is really spying for China and May (and other politicians) know about this and endorse that, shouldn't that be treason?
Poland still has "Milk bars"(Bar mleczny) which were the staple of dining during the communist times - they served mostly food based on milk and flour(hence the name) - pancakes with cheese, pierogi(many different fillings), different soups......they were extremely cheap and also pretty good.

And....they still exist today. Krakow has one literally right in the city centre, next to the most premium of premium estates, where a restaurant literally right next door will have "western" levels of pricing, and yet they continue to serve simple, basic food for ~$1-3 per portion[0]. Granted, a lot of them closed after the fall of communism 20 years ago, but equally they still exist and still continue serving people. They are not just a tourist curio either - they are the place to go for students and workers.

> The case was ridiculous.

So ridiculous he chose to hide in a broom cupboard for yearss rather than go to court for a trial.
A more damning quote seems to be Another recent probe found galaxies inconsistent with the theory of dark matter, which posits this hypothetical substance to be everywhere. There is no reference given, but I have the suspicion that it refers to the discovery of galaxies with almost no dark matter (cf. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16701248). That does indeed refute the assumpion that dark matter is everywhere, but that is not an assumption anyone makes and is not part of any relevant theory of dark matter. On the contrary, the existence of galaxies like that is generally seen as one of the strongest arguments for the existence of dark matter as an independent, if elusive physical entity.
If all computers, networking and cell phones come from China, I dont see why local 5G transmitters should be any different. If Europeans save a lot of money choosing Huawei over Qualcomm its a good choice. Its not like Qualcomm is nice to Europeans.

Also Europe is less insular and doesn't have the cold war mentality that our current government seems driven by.
Google "Minamata" to shake off those rosy-tinted glasses you are wearing.
Toyota / Lexus ?
I understand the feeling of people about not wanting this. So far, calling meant you really wanted to speak to an human.

But let's be honest : this is an awesome opportunity to gather more data and to get closer to more natural human interface with computers, through voices and conversation.

I support this initiative.
TikTok Could Shake Silicon Valley's Free-Trade Instincts
The build quality of their "toys" has always been extremely high perhaps to a fault. Think Apple-like materials, design and packaging. Sure, they weren't 'cheap' to purchase, but if you actually owned one of their toys, you didn't feel like you were overpaying.

Both the children and adults who have interacted with Cozmo (in my case) have been genuinely captivated by the "Wall-E" like personality, and how fun their little desk companion toy can be.

This is actually really sad news. With everyone being laid off, it doesn't look like there's going to be some sort of angel acquisition by Apple or something either.

:(
For anyone who has bought one of their laptops, how does the build quality compare to an old macbook or thinkpad?
What kind of senses available to animals are there that we should be using for science?

Also I'm not entirely sure what you mean that we're confined to "the 5 senses". First, humans have way more senses. Second, I don't think it's confining ourself to build technology that converts something we can't sense (like gravitational waves) into something we can (like a spreadsheet).
Out of curiosity, when the fed rate is almost zero in the US what’s a really good rate for a loan there? These subprime mortgages which offer double digit interest rates even with collateral seem pretty extreme. Being poor must be expensive...
Unfortunately 'resource intensive' != 'slower'.

There are many tricks played by modern browsers to speed up page speeds. Many of them increase resource usage in the process.
You usually serve yourself at a buffet, and it’s usually from one vendor. A canteen like this could have multiple vendors. A buffet is also usually “all you can eat” and priced to account for that.
Feel pretty validated on my decision that the OEM doesn't need a support backdoor on PCs. SupportAssist looked like a remote access tool combined with PC-Doctor.
