Does that really appease border guards? If you present a blank laptop they would probably get very suspicious, since you are obviously trying to hide something. They would probably make you log in and sync before they let you enter the country. The whole point is to search your online life, if you don't let them do that, you don't get in.
Yes, you can. Not all of these may be great examples, but the fact that this many were on the first page of a google search makes it pretty clear that this issue isn't isolated to paypal

Productivity has many facets and is hard to measure. A lot of people feel very productive in rust because it catches a lot of problems early on. GC allows you to be sloppy in reasoning about the lifetime of an object, which is often an important design point that affects the overall system.

Also, you typically have to think about lifetimes when writing libraries, not so much when writing applications that use the libraries.

I think it's important to institute a formal method to document these decisions. Too often there's a diffusion of responsibility/accountability. If there are specific processes being deviated from, they get documented along with the associated risks/mitigation and the approach gets accepted by the appropriate authority. If there's risk-documenting process in place, nobody has to feel like a bad guy for forcing someone to put their name on the dotted line. In my experience, this tends to force people to really think about the risks they are taking and, at the very least, make a more informed decision. Of course, this requires requirements to be there in the first place to deviate from; it requires a managed process.

For example, if Boeing categorized MCAS software as 'critical' they may have a process that says any critical software requires redundant inputs. If a business decision was made to avoid redundant inputs on base models, a manager should be signing off on this documenting the associated deviation/risks and why they are acceptable. Woe be the manager who signs off saying they will accept a risk of a plane crash to up-sell a redundant sensor.

How long? The reviews say around 6 hours; that's not long and definitely not extremely long. My X220 from 2011 has a lot more than that while being cheaper and a lot faster (really a lot; I am often surprised how fast this almost decade old machine is).

Oof. I've got some training and experience in disaster management, including being a part of the overhead team for the Camp Fire last year through my county's search and rescue team.

The things they're advertising here just aren't the things that disaster teams need. Nobody on a natural disaster has ever said, "you know what would make this so much easier? ...Blockchain."

The only part of the Camp Fire that would satisfy a tech boner would've been Alameda County's drone team. It turns out that they've been fostering a pretty good drone team and they were able to do flyovers of large sections of the disaster area, capturing imagery down to 1cm resolution and piping it back to a mobile GIS center that looked straight out of an episode of CSI. Their work was good enough to satisfy the requirements for a lot of insurance adjusters who would ordinarily have had to physically visit the site. It could've sped up the entire search and recovery operation by several days if it weren't for CalFire's insistence on redoing all of it with pen and paper.

The number one technological need for disaster work is communications, hands down. One of the first pieces of infrastructure that falls apart during a major disaster is communications, and it's also the most urgent tech problem to solve, every time, because you can't have teams out in a disaster area with bad comms. We really need some kind of reliable, fast-deploying, low-maintenance radio and cellular infrastructure, and nobody's figured that out yet.

Probably the next big pain point is GIS or data management. Our current GIS software is good enough in the hands of skilled operators, but getting data into and out of it is labor intensive and its dataviz isn't exactly cutting edge. A mobile app that interfaced well with it and allowed search teams to bring up a search segment with a limited amount of data through a text message or QR code would be badass.

On the data management side, every single event, item of interest, and squawk of radio traffic has to be logged. Every single one. For a big disaster, this turns into reams and reams of dense paperwork and hundreds of man-hours to compile it all. And when teams arrive at IC in the morning, they have to fill out information cards and receive printed packets every single time, because there's no state-level coordinated database of DSWs and no way to quickly organize them by skillsets. This slows down deployment by around 2 hours in the hands of a top-of-the-line management team, and by much more when the incident management team is less experienced.

If you're seriously interested in pursuing any of this, feel free to contact me at the email address in my profile.

We've already started inter-agency training events for this year's next wildland-urban-interface fire.
Although I agree with you that the article misunderstands the problem, I'm not sure it's the cost of insulin that's the issue. Of all diabetics in the United States, ~3% have type 1 diabetes. It looks like 90-95% have type 2 [0], which is highly correlated with obesity.

While obesity rates in Canada appear to have stagnated [1], they are steadily increasing in the United States [2]. Additionally, the United States has roughly double the rate of obesity as Canada. Given the relative increase in obesity in the USA versus Canada, it's quite possible the increase in diabetic complications can be attributed to this.

When I called them to bring it up, they thought I wanted them to change the form just for me. They seemed even more surprised when I said “No, you should make this change for everyone, not just me”.

Role of Data Organization in a Business
not sure what your problem was, i had two TDI's and did buybacks for both and, though it took a while, the experience was pleasant and the offer was generous.
This is entirely masturbatory. To think they can re-engineer how some multi-century organizations like religions are able to stay alive is ridiculous. There are 99.99999% of organizations have failed during that time and there is massive survivorship bias. It's basically luck at this scale. Not even countries last for thousands of years let alone 10 thousand years. So many attempts would fail in the first 2 years, you would need millions of attempts to get something started that lasts even 4-5 decades.

Plus who cares? How would you even judge or know you're going on the right path even at 100 years when it's 1% of your goal?

I agree, the model of lock-free data structures is pretty much perfect for reference counting (no cycles, shallow reference tree... just needs to be thread-safe). I wonder then why epoch-based approaches are used, which (sound like they) are more difficult / tricky to implement... I honestly have no idea. The only thing that comes to mind is that they seem to require another atomic primitive (atomic increment, otherwise lock-free data structures only require compare-and-swap), which might not be available on all platforms...
It isn’t a perfect solution, but the license agreement for Mojave (https://www.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macOS1014.pdf) allows you to:

I like the waterbed theory, thanks, I hadn't heard of it before.

You're absolutely right, in the GC context you:

(1) Have to manually reference count / manage external resources like sockets and files because you can't count on the destructor to ever run.

(2) Lose determinism and then have to spend huge amounts of effort tweaking GC parameters to fix your issue, but to your point, it becomes a Jenga tower where you touch one part and the whole thing falls down again.

(3) Can easily still leak huge portions of your object graph by, for instance, throwing them into long-lived dictionaries.
This is a slight derail, so apologies, but: I've been just starting to get interested in shaders, and have been spending time reading things on shadertoy and working through BoS. Something I find really annoying about shadertoy is the pretty ubiquitous focus on minimizing code size, which I can understand in the context of demoscene, but which is super annoying when you're trying to read something to understand it.

What I'd love to see is something like an 'annotated shadertoy', which encourages inline documentation and explanation of the various moving parts. If anything like this exists, I'd love to hear about it!
That has always been somewhat of an inspiration to me too. I'd like to get a PhD in mathematics someday, but it's a long way off if it ever happens.

It makes me happy that someone I respect enormously managed to do something like this. Also, Joe's PhD thesis is a genuinely great piece of writing, highly recommended if you haven't read it.

What is Proton?
> This is false. Bridges are large and have failure cases that managers and government officials understand.

They only think they understand.

> Software is invisible and has failure cases that are completely incomprehensible.

Which are becoming increasingly comprehensible with better tooling and data collection.

> Hiring a bridge designer from another country who is really keen on avoiding the background check will raise some eyebrows.

It does in software too; at least with serious companies.

> Hiring a nearly anonymous software engineer from who knows where is business as usual for many large companies.

These typically come through staffing companies because most large companies are awful at hiring technical talent. They have a long-term relationship with the staffing company and expect the staffing company to ensure the competency of the workers. I actually think licensing software developers would put an end to this; as it would give HR departments a relatively high-fidelity signal to sort the professionals from the hobbyists (by far the hardest thing for a non-technical person to do in hiring developers IMO).

> Maybe shift gears and become a process consultant. Losing a license in software is not a deterrent.

"Processes" are rapidly converging into off-the-shelf SaaS products, and the industry is actually starting to slow down quite a bit. Trust me, the Big 4 and similar management consulting firms are in for a world of hurt over the next 5 years as AWS, GCP and Azure start to hone in on the ERP systems and reference process space. Companies today would rather spend $1M and 2 months to implement a non-customized, off-the-shelf solution that can be maintained by cheap offshore resources than spend $30M and 2 years to build something custom that requires a dedicated support and maintenance team. Maybe there's some vendor selection and strategy up front, but all those companies that used to do process consulting just become system integrators (for guess what -- software!)

Correct me if I'm wrong: I think that a wound that is bleeding is a wound that's, at least in part, being protected from infection by 'internal positive pressure'.

My grandpa taught me that; to let wounds bleed freely for a while, if possible, to reduce the chance of infection.

I wonder how valid that is.

I'm not sure I'm buying into this .com elitism. In the end, it's a TLD like any other and its presence does not guarantee that your trust is warranted, as this very case shows. It cannot replace actual verification and vetting of the sources you're installing software from.

An acknowledgement of the situation on the official site would be nice, though.
The newer Macs with T2 chips do prevent you from installing Linux, actually.

There appears to be some debate online as to whether turning off secure boot on T2 Macs allows Linux to work. It should, but there are some reports online that it does not, at least if you want to use the computer's internal storage. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/a4thsc/the_actual_fu....

I see user skills and the fact that the tool is drag and drop as two different issues, in this context.

A fluent Python developer that doesn't understand basic ML concepts can easily use something like Scikit to code and build "wrong" models. By "basic concepts" I mean standard tasks like data preparation for specific algorithms, sampling, evaluation methods, testing for bias, or just generally how to properly execute most ML tasks like the ones prescribed by something like CRISP-DM.

Someone with basic coding skills - e.g. knows SQL and some imperative programming - but with a solid understanding of ML tasks, and how to execute them properly, probably has a better chance of coming up with better results than the former, using something like IBM Modeller or RapidMiner.

Note that I'm not saying that a drag and drop tool is superior; you could build a flow-based GUI for Scikit, so a tool like this is always, at most, an interface to some code libraries (Scikit, in this example). Having full access to the actual lib, or just better libs, is likely to be less constraining, and more apt for more sophisticated approaches.
We can fly rockets to space and then land them on barges at sea, cure diseases, use technology to reduce global hunger, create synthetic organs, and trade trillions of dollars of money across oceans in microseconds, yet we can't figure out which of two computers in an online card catalog is real and which is going to empty your bank account.

What isn't political and should be political is the nature of change on this planet using technology. It's taken for granted that change is a constant and constantly necessary. That stability is impossible, though this is not factually true -- stability in short time frames like 10,000 years is historically definitely possible at many levels. That infinite competition is necessary and that the people are simply cogs in that system... where that system should serve people. Instead people serve the system. In such a system open to constant change and destruction it is rather difficult to create other systems that survive the destruction of the meta system that contains them.
Correct, leaks are considered "safe" -- it's premature deallocations that are considered unsafe.
