Devils advocate for this one; to put a little meat on sibling comments.

A whistleblower has demonstrated that there are circumstances where they will short-circuit the chain of command and attempt to attract external intervention. The only way a corporate hierarchy can react to such a person is to see them as a risk to be managed; ideally by not hiring them. Large scale corporations have hiring processes with all sorts of weird informal risk-mitigation measures built in (which is usually expressed as discrimination on weird traits).

So people with that sort of whistle-blowing initiative who want to be employable need to build a strong informal network of people who will hire them because they think they understand what circumstances would trigger that behavior and that they are not present in the hiring corporation.

I don't understand the need to build a video image out of the information.

Why not link the probe to a buzzer/led, so it tells you when the interference is high as you sweep the probe across the device?
Would you mind sharing which rule-based system you're working with? IMO Answer Set Programming is very useful for things like this. The language is small and maps straightforwardly onto intuitive ways of thinking about rules. It's closer to Prolog than things like CLIPS but really neither forward- nor backwards-chaining. It's hiding all operational specifics from you, which makes it very scalable as a representation. I think it's something many teams would do well to reach for when they take a first stab at implementing business logic in a rule-based format.
The sad fact is, the regulators are so underfunded they probably can't afford to hire him.
It used to be the only way to make business in not so long past. People made money selling products just fine.

Maybe it's because people trying to get rich quick playing the VC lottery are sucking the oxygen out for people who want to just do a honest to God, "payment in exchange for providing value" type of business.
god I tried. DuckDuckGo just does not work as well as it needs to. It gets touted as a turn key google search replacement but it’s simply not. 4 times today, I searched 5+ different ways for something after poor results, each thing took one search to find on google. Granted, maybe I am just more familiar with how to get the most out of googles search, maybe it has such a vast profile on me that it understands what I want i am looking for. Either way, i am pretty close to caving and it’s sad
You may, thank you. I'm not really looking for a terminal built on web tech specifically, I use it for work and I care about reliability more than anything else.

I'll take a look and see if I can install it on Linux, though.

Thanks!

Sure, that's true but it's still a pain to start using something and they shut it down after a couple of years.

I bet organizations have had a bad time with Google Inbox's shutdown, for instance.
Yes, non-ECC. The possibility of that depends on the internal format used for cards, I guess if it were a binary format then a environmentally flipped bit is a possibility?

"Snap On isn't really great quality anymore. The Chinese have closed the gap"
That doesn't mean Snap On isn't 'buy it for life' though. That means the Chinese are too.

You raise a good point though. Its very hard to evaluate a product that's supposed to last a life time, until you've had it a lifetime. So the benefits to a manufacturer are slow to accrue, but they're also slow to dispel, so there's massive temptation to cut corners and rely on that reputation, while lowering costs.

It'll be interesting to see how the EV market works out. You have a product that could last for life (with battery replacements). I suspect they'll be viewed, by the manufacturer at least, as disposable when the battery goes.
I am sure that this is the logic executives like to go through, but whistleblowers aren't people who compulsively reveal company secrets. They reveal secrets which the public should know about, and usually have to be very large and important in order to justify the personal risk involved.

If your company is so ethically bankrupt that you can't afford the risk of someone who would only reveal things that are of critical importance to the public, then maybe you aren't the "good guys" anymore.
It's worth noting that Czechia is small 10mil citizen country. So are many other eu countries. The language/culture/policy difference is a real decentralizing showstoping force. What it means is that many countries have their startups just filling vacuims of small local services (their ubers, airbnbs, craigslists, groupons etc.) companies you've never heard of.

At best the countries find "niche" in tech. For example for Czechia it's been security - AVG, Avast, Eset and Kerio. Tooling - InteliJ, Netbeans. And gaming - apart of big merger+acusition which led to 2K czech you have many smaller players like Madfinger.

Also kiwi.com is czech so it's not like there completely no tech scene. Education is great.

It's just mindset is not so much go big or go home. People in europe seem to be ok with moderate success.
It’s not, I do something similar. Google results are just that much better for certain content I have found
> Prop 13 made it impossible to have a reasonable property tax system, so California (and its subdivisions) should not rely on property taxes. Problem solved.

Hence California's high income and sales taxes, but both taxable income and consumption are more volatile than property values and more tightly synched with business cycles, which (given a Constitutional balanced operating budget mandate) makes countercyclical spending very difficult (further complicated by the lead time on bonds since they need public advance approval, which makes using the capital budget for countercyclical spending more difficult.)
This may be true, but it's not how good business, corporations and executives should behave.
Did you look in the STM32 line?

The first I found was the STM32F3x4 line [1], they have up to 3 DACs with 12-bit precsion it sounds like.

Not sure about pricing, a quick Digikey search shows the STM32F334C4T6 listing at $3.72 in singles. ST has development boards too, didn't price those.

Sadly, in this day and age, a good, usable search engine that does not enclose you into your own bubble is magic.

What if every app invented its own symbols for play and stop?

Ansible the client, or the target? Ansible doesn't need anything installed on the target (except sshd). For the client which presumably would be installed explicitly on far fewer machines it would bring in whatever Python it needs. I don't know if it uses System Python or a module however since I don't have it installed on RHEL 8 right now.
Well, no, most of the multiple in the budget goes straight to higher labor costs in SF; government services are extremely labor intensive and extremely localized, so have a cost very much driven by the cost of local labor.
"publicly observable behavior" is a bit of a misnomer - general public can indeed observe ElectionGuard in action, but it will not know what it sees. Fortunately, Microsoft advocates using paper ballots as a backup.

So aside from the IDE cost and marketing, there's no difference.
Could be. I never bought the whole Dyson spheres idea.

A truly advanced civilization wouldn't need that much energy (they would be very efficient), and certainly wouldn't need to "kidnap" a start for that.

A single digit percent of the Earth would need to be covered with solar panels with today's technology for our energetic consumption, I don't see why advanced civilizations would need let's say 10% of the energy of a star (let alone need to capture it)
Unfortunately in the US car size is (still) a status thing and has led to an arms race. Size is an obvious differentiator, acceleration or responsivity much less so. Your gasoline is also way too cheap.

Why bother? Being on the JVM has many advantages and building some new VM (and compiler?) would be extra hassle and expense for not much gain.
On a work "test" I was asked to write a diff function (least amount of transformation to get from one state to another state) from scratch, even though I've read many diff-algorithm-papers in my life I couldn't actually implement one (even though I got 99/100 tests right, they failed me with the feedback that I need to work on my algorithms ... ). But after getting the concept of OT it was straight forward to implement it from scratch. That's my relativity, maybe someone else think it's easier to implement a diff algorithm.

If two clients, your client (a) and another client (b), writes the letters a and b respectively at the same time, from either client's perspective they where first, so on client A the state will be "ab" and on client B the state will be "ba". How do you solve that without a server/master ? With a server/master the server just have to increment a counter for each operation, and the clients can use that counter to know which order. So if a has counter 77, and b has counter 76, the state will be "ba".
> Isn't the waste energy from the inefficiency of the incandescent bulbs fully deposited in your house?

Yes, and that mean an incandescent bulb is 100% efficient: all power used is converted to light+heat. But other systems can be more than 100% efficient - they can add more heat than the power they use. Or, in the case of central heating from waste, unused heat will probably have to be pumped off anyway, so using it is energetically free.
> a macro preprocessor which had access to the actual character stream can elect to do things not possible in lisp macros—e.g., distinguish on indentation or something to that effect—but also can recover all of the lisp macro techniques by merely parsing the character stream.

Common Lisp has the mechanism called "reader macros" that can do that. It's a separate mechanism, because it works at "read time", which is much earlier than the "macroexpansion time" when the regular macros are processed.
Hmm. So maybe a potential use as a warning system to women that they might want to check their curtains are closed properly.

There is no need to have some alternative gasoline in order to implement a tax to decrease consumption of gasoline. Just a straight carbon tax would do this. The problem of course has been getting these implemented.

We really should keep the topic of what Prometheus wants to do seperate from other things like carbon taxes.

I think the best bang for our buck would be to just buy the oil before it is pumped out of the ground and leave it there. The producers would stop fighting us doing something about climate change and the increase in gasoline prices would drive the adoption of carbon neutral energy sources.
If they invented a high temperature superconductor that could ease their money problems as well, but neither of these ideas have anything to do with their current business model.

It doesn't rely on public housing, the state will pay the rent for private apartments.

> Having a WBS in Berlin is far from ensuring you actually get housing.

That's true, but that's because of the limit of existing apartments, not because the government doesn't pay for it. Similarly, the government guarantees healthcare, but that doesn't mean that you will always be healthy.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a change in the housing market (that is: more building projects in general, but primarily more properties + subsidies given to cooperatives), but it's another issue.
Can you point me to any tutorials on setting it up?
There is definitely some distinction to be made between Google's and Facebook's approaches to privacy, but data anonymization is a more of a PR technique than a privacy one. It can be done if you accept that you may lose nearly all of the valuable structure in the data, but that is always going to be a hard sell.

Recently there has been a lot of discussion in Sweden (maybe elsewhere too) about anonymized mobile phone location data that is sold online. In that case "data anonymization" usually meant swapping out personal identifiers for some token. If that was the only information you had you'd be more or less fine, but what if you have access to some correlated side-channel information that IS personally linked? In the location data example, just combining with publicly available home address data is enough to de-anonymize nearly every person in the dataset (i.e. where does anonymous token X go every night and leave every morning?).

This problem emerges very quickly as soon as you start linking together multiple pieces of anonymized data (or just sampling the data with high enough resolution). The only real virtue of data anonymization is that it prevents casual snooping by the people that work with the data.
There is no mention anywhere, in this thread nor the one from 2014, of it returning non-random data from the issue reporters, just assumptions from onlookers.

Most modern societies have decided to provide welfare to group A, but not group B.

Most societies haven't put measures in place to stop people in group B living on welfare. That is accepting them.

No such experiment has been tried

The "what if" in question was "what if everyone decided to live on welfare", not "what if we had UBI". Everyone could just decide to live on welfare right now, but they haven't.

It would allow you to start really simple, with not much more than a list/spreadsheet, and then tack on additional features, referenced data and things like images as you go.
Yes, especially that Kotlin already targets various architectures.

Heat pumps are more efficient at heating than resistive elements because they take advantage of already existing environmental heat, whereas resistive heating has to generate all of the heat directly.
One reason to harness a star might be replicator or transporter technology.

Pushing the premium camera in the mid-range phone is genius. It probably hurts their margins because fewer people will buy the higher spec model, but this is surely a response to the Apple lineup which is basically "to get an upgraded camera at all in your next iPhone, you need to pay twice as much as you did for your last one".

I'd be perfectly happy with an iphone 7 having the iphone XR camera. I have zero use for a bigger screen, smaller bezels, faster processors etc. None. I call, read some websites and take pictures. I also want to be able to repair my screen very cheapl (No iPhone I owned has had less than 2 screen replacement due to drops).

I hope Apple will go this route too, but I'm not holding my breath - I think apples strategy to charge me $1k+ for my next iPhone camera is genius, because I'll probably do it.
I don't see how it's a contradiction - it's the same as Google LLC being a subsidiary of Alphabet, and LEOTEK ELECTRONICS USA LLC is listed as a Sub-subsidiary in LiteOn's financial reports: https://www.liteon.com/storage/document/document/2017lite-on...

Reinventing the wheel is also a good way to fool yourself into assuming we're being clever and productive. I mean, it's as if everyone who preceded me in a field was incapable of looking into a problem I've managed to find a hacky solution in 5 minutes.

Meanwhile let's not pretend that there are currently about half dozen standards and specifications for HATEOAS, all involving ugly hacks around response documents and funny media types, when all it takes to achieve the same goal is passing link relations through Link headers.
So not taxing companies would be the best solution?

Let's not forget that tech giants often don't pay any taxes to eu countries. Like zero. This is real problem for system based around taxes. It also puts smaller players that have to pay at disadvantage.

This is just way how to tax the giants. I thin soon this is going to be normal and probably even higher.
Kotlin already has one in the form of Kotlin Native. So far no involvement from Google on that front, but things could change.
> Whereas you would have that in a Canvas or OpenGL equivalent web game?

Yes, you would, at least for some parts. Web games often combine the canvas showing the "game world" with DOM showing some UI elements - on which all the usual affordances work.

Fortunately most sites don't bother. The defaults matter.

Most games are still 'pay once upfront'.
I don’t understand these restrictions. Why is reselling bad? I would think people would still prefer first party services and even if they don’t you still get utilization in any case. Sure, there can be some outlier bad cases but these kind of restrictions can be a complete turnoff for enterprise users who just don’t want to take any legal risk of breaking TOS.

It shouldn't be used for RAID5 or 6. RAID0, 1 and 10 are fine.
> And given that web technologies work across all platforms...

This is a myth. Web technology is more "Write Once, Debug Everywhere(tm)" than Java ever was. The real value is in deployment, bypassing all the platform bullshit. It's still a severely limited platform and will probably remain so, because Apple has no interest in giving up its walled garden.
It's not really possible to substantially improve either conhost or cmd due to backwards compatibility considerations.

The risk of breaking something for someone is just too high.
