The utensil definitely gives the impression of two figures dressed in robes, clutching each other by the arm, while sitting together, in front of a fire.

I think it's a little much to imbue deeper meaning upon representational qualities of the sculptural detail or lack thereof.

One cannot know the rational basis for stylistic choices made during the crafting of the object, unless there's deeper context lent by other facts.

It could simply be limitations of the medium, such as durability of fine detail balanced against practical daily use. Hence why the hands and feet also lack realistic detail.

Or it could simply be a limitation of the carving skills of the owner. Maybe they simply weren't very proud of the faces, hands and feet they've attempted on other objects. It's a common progression that after the skill of posed stick figures develops, then eventually hands, feet and faces develop more slowly. Usually all parts of faces (eyes, nose, mouth, ears, then whole proportions) develop first, in a generalizable, idealized form. Then hands (gestural and used in combination with facial expression), and recognizable facial resemblance and unique identity. Feet last.
This is actually the reason I stopped using Google Maps for most of my navigation. It used up most of my 5 gb monthly allotment over the timespan of a week of travel/driving.

I typically only use ~500 mb of data per month otherwise.
> The existing demand was not "true" under the reasonable assumption that nobody wants to work for less than minimum wage after expenses.

That's an unreasonable assumption, especially when that "minimum wage" is 17$.
> Unless/until one of them actually finds anything different ... at that point, all hell also breaks loose

Boards bought weeks or months apart might have lots of differences in traces and components due to engineering modifications and normal changes in suppliers. Do you really think that all hell would break loose if you showed that there were differences between a Supermicro board made in March 2018 and one made in September 2018? Other than maybe Supermicro or intelligence agencies (who aren't talking), I doubt that anyone has done what you've suggested. People are busy and it's a lot of work based on an allegation and no exact place to look.
> They offered a rate

Uber offered a rate that was subsidized by investors. That is not true supply and demand.
“You’ve got to understand that our commitment to safety is as great as yours,” Mr. Sinnett [Boeing Exec] said in the meeting. “The worst thing that can ever happen is a tragedy like this, and the even worse thing would be another one.”

But yet, even after the second crash Boeing still insisted they continue to fly the plane. It's like they pre-determined their decision and any evidence or additional crashes be damned.

I don't want to have too much hindsight though - if the AA pilots union really didn't want to fly the plane, presumably the union could have chosen not to fly the plane (I think it's in most pilots contracts?). In fact, even after Ethiopian crash, American pilots continued to fly the plane. Though part of this may have been because they didn't have the full amount of information Boeing did.
What you said still doesn't make sense. Binance coin lost value accordingly, why would the underlying asset stored in the bank lose value?

Here in Australia, most drivers seem to be using several other apps (Didi, Ola, etc) at the same time as Uber. So in that sense, they are a contractor in my eyes.

Why? Why should public markets be the red line?

If you’re not profitable yet then that means there’s lots of room for growth. If companies are going public when there’s still all that room for growth then it means the public gets to share more in the growth.
A similar one, also for Android, is Block This https://block-this.com/

Agreed. People riding busses and trains for 10+ hours per week aren't exactly in better shape than people with equivalent car commutes.
Yeah, you'll notice that aviation industry doesn't have an equivalent.

Which is not to say that none of their new features fail catastrophically -- as we were reminded recently by the 300 MAX -- but they don't consider this a valid defense.
Does an impenetrable and indiscernible duopoly count? I'm pretty sure the US only has two flavors of one "continuous war" party that serves the military/corporate interests that conduct 24/7 electronic surveillance of everyone in power.
Unsurprising, given the close relationship between Yiddish and German, and the fact that the English "lox" is literally the Yiddish word.
I don't think anyone thinks the executives are unaware of what happened. OP was commenting on the optics of how Boeing is handling the situation. What I wish the public was discussing is accountability for their negligence, and a solution to avoid similar process failures in the future (and likely jail time for those responsible).

This is basically true in 99% of the US as well. Not really sure what you're trying to say here.

The rest of your comment basically sounds like, "Fuck civil rights."
They could be production limited, but they could also be demand limited, if there's a small pool of customers who want a Tesla but are relatively price insensitive.
So what makes you think the union was responsible for this change?

The exact change lanes were removed because the change collection hardware is old and parts are becoming scarce:

https://www.nj.com/traffic/2018/10/a_tisket_a_tasket_you_can...

Another reason for replacing exact change lanes on the busy Parkway mainline is the machines that actually count the change, coin by coin, are old, cranky and hard to get parts for, Feeney said.

“Most are from the 1990’s. The manufacturers have not made parts for them for some time,” Feeney said. “Even the secondary market is difficult.”

It doesn’t help when drivers throw other stuff in the basket like slugs, foreign coins, garbage, a fish and used kitty litter

I assume the subtext is: because reliable, growing profits are hard to fake, and there's a broad suspicion that a lot of big tech companies are essentially "fake it 'til you make it" counterfeit businesses.

I think it's a critique that makes sense for some kinds of tech companies and not for others.

This guy (Dietterich Labs), does in depth (steps) derivations of cool QFT stuff. This is slightly unique as they are less handwavey than lectures (Which are often supporting written material, or at least harder to follow online) and also more informative than the calculations in some books (I think Peskin and Schroeder can be horrific unless you have someone to ask stupid questions too, if you're like me [Well read, but not that sharp on the bell curve of academic bragging rights])

Quantum Field Theory for the gifted amateur is also pretty great (And Pretty actually), Zee for the working man or something like that
They also, obviously, set their own hours and choose at any time to work or not work.
More compelling to me are the Icelandic "lax" and the extinct Chinese pronunciation.

although... if the language "Tocharian B" is extinct, how can we know its pronunciation? There must be a way, but I can't fathom it myself.
How did you read it that way? I don't see how the sentence implies Google employees getting user data would not be considered a privacy risk.
This is great and I do it down to 15 minute increments.

But inevitably, several times a day: "Can you jump on a quick call?" And sometimes that call is an hour and then my blocking attempt is completely hosed and needs to be dynamically adjusted to accommodate "schedule bombs" like those.

I also recommend padding meetings/work wherever possible. Back-to-back activity increases chance of being late to next thing of there is overrun (out of your control sometimes), and that can add up like a rubber band effect in traffic throughout the day. Then you end up managing disappointment rather than meeting expectations.

Also, learning to say "No" is effective, useful, and empowering. Don't let outside influences steal your time without good reason.
I'm glad to see that not only is Google Trips getting some needed UI improvements, but now has a mobile-web version - giving me some trust to continue using it.

It’s sad that the idea of people being able to get by and live a comfortable life without the benefits from a full time job is so far outside the Overton window that it’s not even mentioned in these conversations.

That seems like such an obviously better outcome for everyone - what if we got rid of healthcare benefits and other types of favorable tax treatment that are tied to full time employment so that everyone is in the same boat? Then all contractors, including Uber and Lyft drivers could keep the freedom and flexibility of being contractors (which anecdotally, I have talked to a lot of drivers who really like this aspect of it), but also not struggle as much to get by?

(Universal healthcare is one path towards this world but not necessarily the only one, I think even the current healthcare system we have would work a lot better if premiums weren’t paid pre-tax by employers and people had actual choice and paid for their care with real money).

I don't think the "right" fight is city-by-city patchwork legislation to require that rideshare drivers be paid a living wage. This does not fix the issue for all workers across the country (and probably doesn't need to be said that 1099s are not entitled to a minimum wage), neither does it fix the problem when the next industry crops up hiring workers considered independent contractors performing work under conditions much more similar to employees.
So, just to see if I can follow this: the claim here is that Crowdstrike attributed the DNC hack to Russia --- as did the US IC and DHS --- to curry favor with the Democrats, who were not in power at the time the attribution occurred, presumably so that when they re-took power sometime in the future they'd pay Crowdstrike back? As a reminder: the current administration is deeply invested in a narrative that every aspect of the 2016 election was essentially on the up-and-up, and that the DNC leaks were fair game, as they had to be, since the President enthusiastically exploited them on the campaign trail, at one notorious point even publicly begging for additional leaks. The GOP, which controlled both houses of Congress when the attribution occurred, is also famously indentured to that President, who, again, would like nothing in the universe more than to shift accusations to Russia back at the DNC itself.

The conspiracy theory here doesn't even make surface-level sense.
Our industry needs to take the 'Engineer' part of Software Engineering a lot more seriously. A professional certification to use the title is looking more and more important with each incident like this, otherwise developers have no teeth to push back when flaws like this are brushed aside by management to save money/reduce costs/etc.. Cyber security, data ethics,.. many things in programming could benefit from certification, and having to legally sign off on your own work.
I am forced to treat the people who cut my lawn and clean my house as employees, according to tax law, for funding unemployment insurance among other things.

But Uber's labor force, without which literally the company wouldn't exist, are not eligible for the same benefits. The logical next step is that the company has no liability for anything that happens to you in one of their cars.

This is really poor wording. Maybe s/benefits/affects? Because I don't think anyone (well maybe neo-Nazis) think "introducing teenagers to neo-Nazism via YouTube's algorithm" is a benefit.
I'll give you two examples. One functional and the other OOP. Both programs aim to simulate driving given an input of 10 energy units to find the final output energy.

#oop

engine = Engine(10)
car = Car(engine)
car.drive() #result 8

class Car:
def __init__(self, engine):
self.engine = engine

def ignite(self):
self.engine.energy =- 1

def run(self):
self.engine.energy =- 1

def drive(self):
self.ignite()
self.run()
return self.engine.energy

class Engine:
def __init__(self, energy):
self.energy = energy

# ignite not testable without engine
# run not testable without engine
# drive not testable without engine and a car
# ignite, run, and drive are not modular cannot be used without engine.
# engine testable with any integer.
# Car useless without engine
# engine useless without car

#functional \
def composeAnyFunctions(a,b):# returns function C from A and B. See illustration above.
return lambda x: a(b(x))

def ignite(total_energy):
return total_energy - 1

def run(total_energy):
return total_energy -1

drive = composeAnyFunctions(run, ignite)
drive(10) #result 8

# compose testable with any pair of functions
# run testable with any integer
# ignite testable with any integer
# drive testable with any integer
# all functions importable and reuseable with zero dependencies.
# input_energy -> ignite -> run -> output_energy

"I think the lack of reusability comes in object-oriented languages, not functional languages. Because the problem with object-oriented languages is they’ve got all this implicit environment that they carry around with them. You wanted a banana but what you got was a gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle." - Joe Armstrong

you don't necessarily need the car or engine to simulate the energy output of driving.
Hopefully with this patches for other OSes should appear soon.
Lots of weird fox lore around the world. In Chinese folklore, they can pass for human (often as attractive women) and ensnare people in various wiles.

That's because Crowdstrike hires plenty of ex-NSA/CIA, who are usually the people FBI would love to hire. Doesn't mean they're the best in the industry but definitely in that mega-corp/gov tier they seem to be #1.
I used to work for an electronics manufacturer. They did use xrays on a regular basis, but mostly to find cracked solder joints under ICs.
Ok so let's say you're a small company... can you send parts to be xrayed by an analysis lab? And the big conclusion here for me is outbound firewall rules are almost universally ignored, but should be far more common.

Interesting. What is the logic behind not saying « hi » to females?

I know that this is sexist, but I would at least give them the benefit of the doubt. Not being familiar with these email list, I’m unsure as to the general « feel » of these discussions.

Can you provide more insight?
There is the comfort that there are only two of them.
1. Comparing numbers from one system (Cockroach) that adheres to strict durability requirements to another that does not (MemSQL) is apples to oranges, especially, as you point out, you see a 2x performance hit when you impose that requirement.

2. What you're looking for is the 'Think Time' mentioned in the TPC-C spec[1] (table in 5.2.5.7). From 5.2.5.2, I quote:

> for each transaction type, the Keying Time is constant and must be a minimum of 18 seconds for New- Order, 3 seconds for Payment, and 2 seconds each for Order-Status, Delivery, and Stock-Level.

Chapter 4 is pretty thorough on elaborating on this. The comment under section 4.1.3 explicitly states:

> Comment: The maximum throughput is achieved with infinitely fast transactions resulting in a null response time and minimum required wait times. The intent of this clause is to prevent reporting a throughput that exceeds this maximum, which is computed to be 12.86 tpmC per warehouse.

Again, CockroachDB numbers are right up against this limit - because the database is waiting, as required! It's within ~99% of the maximum allowed. No bar is allowed to go more than 1% higher! So stacking a bar chart next to it that goes 10x higher is pretty misleading.

3. I'm pretty impressed that you can run all the TPC-DS queries. That's pretty impressive. But performance wise, there really isn't enough fleshed out, and given that the TPC-DS authors explicitly disavow the single metric that you use (power test numbers), is simply too little to claim parity to existing databases. That said, in this conversation I'm an OLTP guy; I'll let others more experienced with Data Warehouse benchmarking take this up, e.g. [3]

4. This one I'll concede that you are doing the appropriate thing as per spec (SELECT FOR UPDATE ensures serializability), but it's the single part of the spec that's not held up over time - the paper "Making Snapshot Isolation Serializable" is a great explanation of just what lengths you have to go to to prove that a set of transactions only provide serializable histories when run in a degraded isolation mode. That said, fair enough, no anomalies will be present due to Alan Fekete's proof. But do note that CockroachDB is doing a lot of extra work (work that MemSQL can elide, since it's simply not checking for isolation anomalies) to ensure that histories are always serializable[4].

5. While I don't work there, I did a lot of work specifically on benchmarking CockroachDB, and would like to politely request that you take down those bars for CockroachDB, since you're taking numbers that are shackled to the THINK TIME maximum and comparing them to a system that is not.

This Essay Breaks the Law (2006)
Right now it has worse library support, worse hardware support, and isn't analysed as thouroughly as SHA512/SHA256. Also SHA-3 seems to be fighting with Blake2 for popularity, it's not immediatly clear to me that SHA-3 will be popular in 10 years (a point for usage in API design etc).

It's not really outside the Overton window. Universal healthcare has strong majority support right now.

Employers and shareholders benefit significantly by reducing options for workers and by making it difficult for workers to change jobs; the source of the resistance is there, in the plain language of power, not in some imaginary spectrum of what's considered to be acceptable.
