Yes! Aside from the extremely common megahertz and gigahertz, commonly used units are megajoules, gigajoules, megawatts, gigawatts, terawatts, petajoules (when countries are negotiating about energy security), exajoules (when people measure world energy consumption), megohms, gigohms, megalitres (for the capacity of a dam, though teraliters would have been more appropriate), megapascals (of some kind of tensile strength typically), gigapascals (of Young's modulus typically), megaergs (back when people still used ergs), and so on.
In my average size telecom company almost nobody cares about privacy, at least it seems so any time I mention anything related or link some article in the chat. Or at least they don't see an issue there. (same with equality problems, but that's different topic) It seems programmers are just an average sample of population.
Nearly every criticism of Google also applies to Microsoft. Google considered a censored search engine in China. Microsoft actually has one. Google had a contract with the military but didn't renew it. Microsoft actively has one. Microsoft products also collect large amounts of data on you, and provide less privacy than Google

I can't imagine anyone who no longer wants to work at Google wanting to work at Microsoft

It's a big order: We'd honestly have to put an actual safety net in for everyone for it to work well, but we can start by treating people like humans, having safe prison environments, and making sure folks have a chance. Change laws so the stupid thing one did at 19 doesn't have lasting effects at 24. Make sure parole officers have flexible hours that allow folks to have jobs.

No one should have to commit crimes to pay their fees.

It isn't worth looking at the crime rates, as we've never tried. Crime rates are more than just prison, but the right prison system is one avenue to reduce repeat crimes.
Replying to my own comment. Initially, I was thinking that the mention of CO2 was related to carbonation in the drink. It's now clear to me that it was reference to CO2 emissions of transporting goods that would be significantly heavier.

It seems to me that if CO2 emissions for distributing heavier, reusable glass containers is a significant problem for our society, I can't imagine what we'll do with all the other (unrelated) things we have (and do) that have much bigger problems with emissions.

It's an issue that needs to be fixed but it's not extremely simple.

The car always has still-standing objects in front of the car (the road, anything around the road, barriers, anything on opposite sides of barriers, things in the direction of the ar but the road is turning etc.

The car has to know that the road doesn't slope up over the truck or around it. I'm guessing that's where the split-barrier fails occur.

It really needs to create a real-time 3d map of the entire environment (including what's visible from eye-height, not only front of hood) and map a route through that.
I hate when I see replies from Tesla stating that so-and-so didn't have their hands on the wheel for X number of seconds/minutes. It's bollocks. As a model S owner, for a few weeks I didn't realise it was sensing turn pressure, rather than grip pressure. So I had numerous warnings about my hands not being detected, even though they were constantly on the steering wheel.
I'd throw two more hats into that ring:

- It looks bad to the public if companies directly pay the ransomware creator. Decryption companies can act as a PR "buffer" in that respect.

- By funneling the western worlds contact with ransomware creators through a small number of companies, we create an incentive for ransomware creators to follow through with providing the decryption keys and not play games with the price. If they fail to hold up their end of the bargain, their reputation will immediately be ruined within the small number of companies that do this.
Just because RSA is secure doesn't mean that the specific implementation will be. I've read about versions of this where the decryption key was held in a specific location in RAM for example.

It's much easier to say that the only thing about it that's clear is that the poster is sarcastically enthusiastic about the hypothetical end of some slippery slope. How that conjecture relates to the actual matter at hand, or what the poster really believes about it is left untold.

The post a level above it in the thread on the other hand makes a reasoned case for why this might not be a good idea, rooted in the actual matter and addressing it directly. With that in mind, it's even harder to imagine what lenkite thought would add to the discussion.

Actually saying that disingenuous mockery doesn't help apparently added to the discussion, though, in that lenkite then responded with a clearly reasoned argument.
Not the case, at least in my experience. I work in the San Francisco Bay Area. We recruit exclusively at Ives, the likes of Stanford, MIT, Georgia Tech, etc. and HBCUs and HWCUs. There's a big push to increase racial and gender diversity at least in this region. There's not much much diversity at religious colleges (>82% white, nowhere near the kind of representation we're looking for).

In German, sidewalks are called "Bürgersteig", which means "citizens' step". Probably because the middle part of the street was used by peasants and merchants bringing goods into the city on carriages, while the citizens were walking on the sidewalks.

They might not have tested it at all. It's just a blog post after all. Plenty of blog posts get published with broken links or duplicate paragraphs and basically anything else that isn't immediately obvious at a glance. Being published on a Google domain doesn't guarantee that they have a sophisticated testing process to catch these kinds of errors even in Chrome.
There seem to be lots of questionable translations in their source data - missing emphasis, wrong words, and sometimes stuttering or mistaken vocalisations.

If they could fix that, I think results could be much better.
Maybe my story can help you.

One day I had a very hard day in Germany, like you did, with people screaming, pressure etc. Being Brazilian, I'm used to people being nice and caring. A completely different picture here in Germany. I wanted to go back and say fuck it all.

I have chosen to breath a bit, think, chill. In those moments, we are basically being tested. If you are there, you are there for a reason, possibly it's an improvement in life for you, or a challenge. You need to make sure you stick on your head that this is your test, take it as a challenge.

The human mind and body has millions of years of improvements to handle CHALLENGES. We can really go through very tough shit, but you can only activate this mode if you take what you felt, this emotional response, and have a good and positive reaction.

Eventually you start to get over those problems and conquer some respect. But you can only do it, if you eat it up.

It's a bit like school. You get bullied, at some point you fight, you beat one up, the other 5 fuck you up. Then eventually you start to handle those problems and even can come out on top of it. But only if you fight.

Think about the other possibilities, stay on this company 1 year and find another job. There will be other screamers on the other job as well, but keep shovelling shit until you get what you want.

> I can cover ~60-80 miles per hour.

You are totally missing the point. I don't have to cover 60-80 miles per hour, because everything I need and want on a daily basis is close. Where I'm living (Europe) the streets are safe and comfortable to walk and the public transportation is usually nice. I let my two year old ride on my shoulders on the walk to dinner, and he loves riding both buses and trains. And while we do that, I talk with him instead of having him strapped in in a back seat.

And I've had long commutes before. And I absolutely hated to lose 90 minutes a day of the little time I have left after work, sleep and chores. I'd much rather spend that time with my child.

Then I perfectly well understand that city-life isn't for everyone. It's great that you can get a big yard without bankrupting yourself. I've never argued that city-life is better than rural living in all aspects.

But you tried to argue that you have better access to entertainment and shopping because you can drive so fast from where you are. Don't expect anyone to take that seriously.

I only have four small kids, but you're approaching this from the single kid direction.

Once you have two, you stop caring as much about the first precious one - because you have two precious ones. So sometimes one has to wait.

Repeat that a few times, and you'll arrive at your answer.

With more kids, it becomes clear that there are things you simply cannot do, e.g. own a 11-bedroom house or drive each single kid to soccer. So the kids will have to do something else. Like playing with each other.

That's just the way it is.

There's virtually no free time, though. :)

The law can't handle willful lawbreakers that way; otherwise criminals would develop strong ethical reservations about all sorts of stupid things.

Ignoring a judge, purposefully and with premeditation, is not going to earn anyone reduced punishment. It is contempt of court.

Again, if the law has ethical problems it is reasonable to put up a bit of a struggle. Just don't complain about the justice system is somehow doing anything unexpected - the problem sits with the lawmakers.
While I do agree that you can see some of the industry and view it as a huge problem, the "ambiguously defined mental illnesses" are easily explained to be a result of the fundamentally subjective nature of the field itself.

Wouldn't you want to address actual problems causing them to perform more poorly on the SAT instead of pretending they don't exist? The alternative, of lying to someone, is obviously worse. Do you somehow think this hypothetical person wants to be lied to? Or maybe they want to pretend they did something they did not do?

I don't assume that, nor would I want to be treated like that.
>In the case of software like Redis, pretty much everyone reporting a bug is also qualified to fix that bug, so it works particularly well.

There Is No Planet B – Mike Berners-Lee
The author seems to finish the article with a recommendation.
But still do not understand what it is:

"...
So what should you do with all this stuff going on? Well here’s my recommendation: Whether you do WPF, WinForms or UWP, if it works for you now, continue the course you’re on. You can’t plan for the unknown anyway, and Microsoft generally like to support things for 10 years. Whatever happens I doubt you’ll be setting yourself up for failure – You might just get more options later, and definitely not less. My biggest concern right now is how the changes to WinUI is going to affect the future – especially among component vendors.
.."

It seems that MS is struggling with UI framework backward compatibility. If your app compiles using more recent UI features, there is no compatibility layer that is built into your app, that would allow it to run on earlier releases of Windows.

If that's the case, it will impede WinUI 3.0 as well, in about 2-3 years.
BT unveils new logo after years of work – its name in a circle
How would one write a cross-product with that?

Using two vectors and the epsilon tensor (Levi-Chivita-symbol), I guess?

Edit: So like this: two circles with one connection each as input, i.e. vectors (a and b), and a tensor with three connections, leaving one, meaning the result will be a vector again.

a o
\
o - (-o c)
/
b o

Multiplying with another vector c gives the parallelepipedial product (a x b) c, a scalar (also = det(a,b,c)).

Cool :)

It's very recognizable. Whenever I see a picture of it, I know it is the Louvre in Paris. I doubt I would recognize the other buildings.

Looking at Google image search for "Paris", my suspicion is confirmed that the pyramid is almost the second most recognizable building in Paris now.

Merely imitating the old style of the surrounding buildings would have been phony, in my opinion.

> Perhaps if doctors were held so directly accountable, there would be fewer incidents of medical malpractice.

What do you mean by "directly accountable"? Doctors do get sued for malpractice regularly and that sounds pretty direct. Also how do you define an "incident of malpractice"? Many lawsuits are entirely frivolous so the definition cannot be initiated lawsuits. Also the lawsuits can be very expensive and representationally damaging, so the definition can't even be lawsuits that ended in settlements (since that can make sense regardless of validity). So frankly the situation seems much more complicated to even measure than many let on.

Ignoring that those issues, if doctors were held to higher account for the mistakes they make, you probably would expect some drop in malpractice (however you measure it). However you should also expect fewer doctors to do risky procedures. The overall result would not necessarily clearly be a net win for society even if malpractice were to drop. Incentives are complicated.
Especially since firefox probably ought to be using the underlying OS libraries for media decoding (and on windows, mac, and linux all the major libraries support this format).

Firefoxes "we need to invent it ourself so we aren't at the whim of the platform" has bitten them here.

Also, a patch to support this format is probably only 10 lines of code... Simply a for loop over every sample converting to 16 bit PCM.
> It's abundantly clear that placing blame and expectation entirely on the shoulders of consumers is bollocks. Humans drop litter

That statement is false. Not all humans drop litter. In the west it is widely taught as wrong, often punishable by fines. Find me the person who states they should have a right to litter please. Not to mention the fact that biogradable packagi\
ng does little to nothing by way of helping littered refuse. It will have to be collected anyway.

There is no philosophy whereby you can excuse the individual action in this case except when trying to justify a wide range of other things as the basis of a broken polemic. Your last sentiment in that post entirely confirms this.

It's ironic that Git was intentionally designed to decentralise the process of software development, so that there was no single "blessed" repository, but instead of a network of peers, each of which could evolve at a different rate and in a different way, with the community deciding which would "win" in terms of popularity.

And yet, via Github, the community has reinvented the centralised model of software development. For any project, there is a single instance that is the "blessed" version, by virtue of having the most stars or collaborators, or owning the associated package name. 99% of forks are nothing more than a place where you create a feature branch that you intend to PR to the blessed project.

I hope that, one day, somebody invents a git-based project ecosystem that solves the problem of decentralised project management. I don't know exactly what this would look like, but I think it would need to embed the idea of community and contributor consensus and democracy at a fundamental level, separating the concept of the project and project ownership from any individual fork.
I don't understand it either. I gather that she has been offered immunity from further prosecution.[0] But perhaps she's concerned about the potential for discrepancies vs testimony from her trial.

I assume that her testimony from her own trial can be used by the grand jury. But maybe she plead the 5th some in her trial, so they want immunized testimony about any of that. Or maybe there's stuff that she just wasn't asked about.
