So i've been following this and feel unsatisfied with the "buzz" about it. Let me explain why:

The best Pictures can be seen here

http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-05/23/c_138082738.htm

whereby the third is the most interesting to me, because it allows comparing whith the existing pictures of the Transrapids "Track-Train-Interface" (for lack of a better term). It looks similar, but not exactly. Would it matter? Who really cares?

What i do care about is how "real" this thing is. Because for all we know this just a mockup on stilts.
There is nothing wrong with mockups as such. Except for this mockup on stilts there is no footage to be found which shows this thing on a longer test track, or this thing on a test stand where at least it is levitating in the configuration like shown in the press. Any footage, if existing at all shows different systems. Furthermore neither

https://binged.it/2M6k70R

nor

https://goo.gl/maps/h687Cptq2U4kH2Pm9

show any signs of testing track at the factory, or its surroundings.

So until further notice i consider this as a notion of intent to build, but far from ready.
As i said, for all we know, the "production rollout" is that of the modelmaker without the real innards.

Speaking of weird retrocomputing BASIC features, does anyone know why DECSYSTEM 10's and DECSYSTEM 20's BASIC had a "LISTREVERSE" command?

Yes, it actually did exactly what it sounds like!

Chalk one up for DEC and BASIC. What other programming languages support that feature, huh?

Now all you need is a COMEFROM and COMESUB and RUNREVERSE (or NUR) statements, and you can write reversible BASIC programs!

It seems very high to me as well, especially since they were allowed to submit for approval with only one 15-patient study completed and interim data from a few other studies. I think they have tested the drug in under 100 pts to date

Per the financial statements, ~$500M of that $700M was r&d (the rest was general and administrative expense). A lot of the r&d spend was payments to third party research and manufacturing firms. Given the small clinical trial size I'd imagine more money went to contract manufacturing than research.

There are very few companies and people that can make gene therapies at scale at acceptable quality levels. It seems like this expertise is quite expensive. There was probably a lot of process development here since making these drugs at scale is so new (here "at scale" means "enough for ~100 patients")

They also spent a lot building out their own manufacturing site.

They also had a $135M license payment, I think to the company they licensed their viral vector from
"Uhh, hate to break it to you but startups don't get "special valuations" because someone calls them startups."

Is this condescending tone necessary?

I was suggesting growth plays a large role in why startups are valued differently than established businesses, and I don't see how you can argue that a rapid growth company will be valued according to the same metrics as a company with very low growth.

But isn't PDF basically the same for simple text? At least once you use a tool to simplify your PDF by removing compression, object streams and whatnot.

Moving to position is just `123 456 Td`. Placing a string at current position is just `(ABC) Tj`. Placing each glyph at different positions is just `[12 (A) 34 (B) 56 (C)] TJ`. I can do minor edits in PDF using just vim and qpdf.
As an anecdotal data point, I once configured a test campaign on Doubleclick Bid Manager (now Google DV360) about two years ago that I needed some quick exposure on. So I set a budget cap of 100$ just for safety and didn‘t do any targeting, so I was effectively bidding on half the worlds‘ ad inventory. What I didn‘t check or notice was that pacing wasn‘t set to even, but to Flight ASAP.

Suffice to say, I spent 730$ within _seconds_, so fast actually Googles systems couldn‘t even switch off fast enough to prevent 7,3x overspend, and the only thing that prevented stupid me from a five digit spend was probably choosing an unusual ad size.

Fascinating stuff indeed :)
How is this even possible with E2E encryption? Either me or Seehofer misunderstand something here.
It is pretty amazing that H.264 is not one algorithm that just popped out and changed the world, instead it is accumulation of collection of tricks developed over several decades.

I distinctly remember few folks saying that you would need to violate laws of physics to transmit 1080p @ 60 fps over wifi. Now we are all doing it many times over and billions of dollars are being made every year. This is one of the unsung achievement worthy of Nobel-prize level awards but no one seems to know who these people were.

I wonder if there is any detailed history of how various components of H.264 came together, who led this effort, how projects were funded for such a long time?

In my experience, it varies... I had one VPN service start to get blocked consistently, so I switched to another, and that's been going smoothly for two years. And I'm sure Netflix can put cookies on my machine and know what's up... I'll be in Japan and then minutes later I'm in the US again with the same computer.
This article is just plain stupid.

At this point Huawei can do whatever they want, including using microsd but not paying any patent and licensing fees. SD association cannot do anything to stop Huawei now that US already has played it's strongest hand.

Huawei has no market presence in US. Outside US you can not sue them because "your honor we wanted to pay them the fees but their government blocked it"

I use the AnkiDroid app on my phone. And it's a pain to quickly make cards on the phone. You will get better and faster at creating cloze deletions after creating a few cards on a phone.
That's why I only use AnkiDroid on phone to revise (and seldom create cards) if accessing a laptop is a bigger pain.
The suicide spike at Orange / France Telecom took place from 2007 to 2009. I happened to work there fresh out of school from 2010 until 2012, just in the aftermath of the suicide wave, which we discussed a lot with colleagues at the time.

For this reason, I follow this trial with a particular interest and would like to clear a few things :

- Upper management is not directly accused of provoking the suicides. They are accused of a company-wide harassement policy aimed at pushing 22000 persons out without firing them (because they couldn’t - them being public servants), by making them decide to leave on their own. The suicides are the most spectacular side-effect of this harassement policy but they are not the center of the trial.

- France Telecom / Orange was a strange place at the time. It was divided between two generations : the older one signed up as public servants in a public service, and were deeply attached to France Telecom as a public service. A lot of them considered the recent privatization as a betrayal of their values. On top of that they had to go through a lot of technical evolutions, from phones lines to broadband to fiber. The younger generation were not public servants, were mostly fully on board with Orange being a private company and had skills more suited to current times.
It was the older generation that was being pushed out.

- Even given the explosive context, everybody in the trial tries to make it as dispassionate as possible. Accusation is pointing out that the plan was illegal, not immoral. Defense is arguing how Orange was facing an existential crisis at the time.

It will be interesting to know how it all plays out.
Similar to @msyea - i quit my first job out of college to follow my dreams, to only fail 8 months later with not a lot to show. i never gave up my hopes and dreams, and went back to working for ~4 more years. I've now got a much more solid pay then when i failed ~4 years ago, and have rebooted my efforts (on the side) to fulfill my dream! Never.give.up.

As far as I am aware the likes of Apple are still selling in China and even companies that are blocked etc. it's different vs the U.S. ban, which also affects Huawei in the EU etc.

I am an EU citizen and if I want to buy Huawei products, I don't want the U.S. to tell me not to, especially since you seem to conveniently forget that the U.S. has led many interventionist wars in order to forcibly open markets in other countries to its goods, so you don't have much moral ground to stand on here.

Additionally, the U.S. is also imposing tariffs on the EU and being abusive around the world, (Iran etc.) in general. The world is watching and American credibility is being eroded with moves like these, that's for sure.

It’s not just share prices. Telecom competition in France is next level.

I’m on holiday in France. SIM card was mailed to me for free. Activated an unlimited call/SMS and 4gb data for 10 EUR, or about US$12, and that includes their sales taxes.

And this isn’t the oft-mentioned Free, just a random MVNO that mainly targets immigrants.

(Ok, it actually cost me 15 EUR because bloody iMessage sent a short code SMS to send tell Apple HQ what my new number is and ate some credit before I could sign up for the plan)
Try to picture this. All the water next to a ship mysteriously flowing away from the ship, over the bubble while the ship for some reason is the only thing going down through it.

Water is also heavier than air, and water on top of a bubble will also fall into the center of the bubble (breaking it up into smaller bubbles), until the surface tension of the water around the bubble is great enough to hold it together (small bubble).

Therefore a huge bubble gets split into many bubbles, I suppose at depth a lot of the gas gets dissolved into the water. The worst that would happen is many small bubbles cause the density of the water to decrease, causing the boat to sink lower into the water. I'm not sure if the water could lose enough density to sink a regular boat directly?

I think what you may be thinking of is large, shallow explosions (generally man made) under a ship which create a temporary bubble which then collapses in on itself, but can cause extreme stress on large ships.

Extremely contrived example of bubbles being able to sink a small boat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSmAXp_BHcQ

> I have to buy a new smartphone every two years because it gets slow and the USB port breaks

I moved from Android to the iOS ecosystem specifically to get the Lightning port. Wikipedia tells me that micro USB ports are rated to 10,000 cycles but in practice I've had to toss tablets because they won't hold a connector, and wiggle phones to get them to charge. With the iPhone connector never an issue and it just feels solid. Why is the design so much poorer?
You would never resign. Those jobs are for life and have benefits and pensions.

It's like a startup who offers high stock options vested over a period for early employees. They grow too quickly and try to push the early employees out without triggering a clause that allows them to take back the options if they quit. They try to place them in jobs they are over qualified or not suited for.

Would you quit and leave money on the table.
Care to share those reasons?

Because Australia, for example, decided to ban Huawei in a closed door national security meeting.
If I support your opinion, I should also support China gov had done before for Google and others.

Can you please write a few details about that workflow? What do you do and how? I used to create .ps "by hand" (actually writing scripts) but I've never tried to start from PDF and then edit. How do you "remove compression, object streams and whatnot"? And some useful references (for those Tj TJ etc).
I just traded in my 2013 Audi TTS for a Tesla Model 3 Performance on Thursday. I would have given serious consideration to an all-electric TT (if it were actually available now and not vaguely promised for a few years from now). I much prefer the TT's form factor, hatchback, front bucket seats, steering wheel and rear visibility. It's just a better looking car that's more fun and more comfortable to drive. On the other hand, the Tesla has usable rear seats, keyless entry, a far superior entertainment system, so much less cabin noise that making a phone call is a reasonable idea, doesn't need gas (premium for the TTS), doesn't need oil changes, and accelerates faster.
It's correct in the short run, incorrect in the long run, and correct in the ludicrously (I'm talking cosmological scales here) long run. For all practical purposes, the long-term is much less zero-sum than the short-term.
Neat! Would you minding listing some of those toolchain vendors? I think about pros and cons of various publishing systems from time to time and would love some new input.

Sure, am not suggesting it's exactly the same, not even close. But the treatment they get in prison, the fact that minorities are locked up at an alarming rate for drug possession, (not even distribution), the fact that they're used effectively as a slave labor force in many places, (laughable daily pay).

Just because somebody's a criminal does not mean they're no longer human and arguably many of these locked up are there for crimes that we're starting to realize perhaps shouldn't be criminalized in the first place.
Systems engineers (for example the K&R "C Programming Language" book) didn't need elaborate math notation, like Knuth needed.

Of course I was being ironic about it being ”finely tuned”!

What I’m saying is that in spite of having, in a sense, all the resources at their disposal, this process was chosen by the business, for the business.

An encrypted on-line service could, and should, have been implemented. But being far from tech & dev the business choose a process matching their compentecies.

Messing with this several years in, and trying to digitize a process obviously in need for it, is met with much resistance.

Another gem of a process:

Many (like hundreds) employees needed personal printers. But why?!

Because:

- printing claim from “modern” client/server system.

- Pinning an also printed bar-code to the pages from step one

- scanning these in to software that reads the bar-code and adds them to queues for mainframe processing.

D/A -> A/D? Huh?!

Holy cow! I almost fell off my chair...

And the inherent security risks in play here, not to mention acres of forrest consumed during the years. My mind is boggling...

I've often thought that leaders are paid not just for the skills, a lot of people can do that, its the relentlessness, every day, every hour, having to be "the guy", not many can do that, or even want to do that. You have to be bent in a particular way.

the biggest problem with JAMStack (everything including Gatsby, Jekyll, Hugo, etc) is that there is no single place with a nice source code repo, CMS system and hosting.

Basically, to get your JamStack to work - you need to use Github + Github hooks -> Contentful/Cosmicjs -> Netlify.

I believe this is a missing and a killer product. People think "oh why reinvent Github". But a business guy who wants a fast website does not know what github is - he/she just need a single place to do everything.

the workflow that would work is - upload my code to dashboard (using git/FTP upload). Write content in CMS and see the website change within a few seconds. Reupload new code, and the website changes within a few seconds.

Shouldn't this be "The proposal is consistent with Apple's attempt to disrupt the largest revenue stream of their main competitor Google." If Apple actually cared about "the moral high-ground of technology' they wouldn't be so desperately fighting right to repair laws.
