In the "past" that the minister is referring to, Taiwan was a military dictatorship; other than a few brave souls sitting in jail, there was no political opposition, and there was no free press. There was no (legal) alternative to government propaganda. Even publications from overseas were censored (by ink and scissors) as they entered Taiwan.

The article suggests that today's government, under the careful supervision of the opposition parties and the independent press (both of which now exist), has resources that allow it to detect propaganda, and preemptively respond to it, in a way that individuals cannot.

Neos | London, UK / Brighton, UK / Partial remote | Full-time | https://neos.co.uk

Neos are an insurance company, making use of IoT devices to prevent issues before they turn into a claim, and give people peace of mind that their home is alright. We also have B2B deals with several major insurance companies, including Aviva in the UK, ANWB in the Netherlands, and American Family in the US to provide our IoT platform as a part of their insurance policies. Finally, we do direct retail sales of our camera to the public.

That's quite a lot to get done, so we're looking for Ruby developers to join the team. Depending on your experience and interests you'd either be working with the insurance team, looking after our policy admin and sales systems for direct insurance sales, or the IoT team who are responsible for device integration, B2B support, and providing APIs for our mobile apps to integrate with.

We've got a micro (but not too micro) service based architecture, which makes heavy use of AWS services such as SQS and SNS to ensure one part of the system failing doesn't take everything else down with it. Experience with distributed systems would definitely be a plus, especially in the IoT side of things where when we say "distributed" we mean "thousands of devices scattered around the world, on potentially unreliable internet connections". You'll get used to eventual consistency fast!

We're looking for people who are able to work out of either our London or Brighton office for at least some of the week. Most of team work remotely on a regular basis, and we're well set up to make that work - all our meeting rooms are set up to make people joining remotely easy.

If you're interested, drop me an email on jon.wood@neos.co.uk and I can answer any questions you might have.
You're right - encourage was the wrong word. Every country will have laws that we don't like, I get that, but I'm arguing that there is a common ground there - it may not be very big, and it may be pretty basic when it comes to what it's covering, but I don't think there's a nation on earth where murder is perfectly OK. There are SOME basic elements everybody follows.
Well said. The biggest offenders are usually companies & not the remote employees. I am in a great spot where I don't experience these today but the most frequent I've seen are:

Poor microphones set up around the conference room that make it hard to hear everyone.

No webcam at all or a bad webcam setup that doesn't allow the remote attendees to see the gestures people make.

Multiple people talking at the same time, but having very quiet conversations.

Using a whiteboard, a projector or showing a screen by turning your computer around but not making it visible to remote attendees.

* Basically doing things that the remote people can't participate in.
Readers of a Twitter stream of thought generally realize that they’re dealing with a loosely connected series of thoughts. While individual appreciation of this style of writing varies, there’s no confusion about what’s going on.

Writing in that manner in a blog post would be taken more poorly, as we generally have higher structural expectations of “a blog post” than we do of “a Twitter thread”. Simply writing one paragraph per tweet into an append-only post would not be equivalent.

So the readability might improve for removing Twitter’s UI, but then the content would be evaluated as an “essay” rather than as a “stream of consciousness”.
Take another look, they’ve doubled the number of bikes in the city. They were originally limited by the city as part of their pilot program which is since expanded.
PingCAP | Software Engineer | San Mateo and distributed | Full-Time | Remote | https://angel.co/pingcap-1/jobs

We make TiDB, an open source distributed scale-out database that is consistent, always online, and MySQL compatible. Our underlying distributed key-value layer, TiKV, is a CNCF project.

We have hundreds of users, some with 100+ TB of data. We need to keep scaling to larger datasets and find ways to help users access their data even faster.

Our tech stack is Rust, Go, Kubernetes, and TiDB itself! Many different technical skill sets can be put to use here. You can work on making TiDB run in the cloud, do low-level database hacking, work on documentation, or working with customers.

I am part of the international team that is oriented towards being remote, and we travel periodically to meet in person.

I like working with TiDB because I get to be a part of a big change going on in databases and work with a skilled and friendly team. On a daily basis I learn new things about databases and the cloud, but I also get to apply my existing experiences to have a big impact.

See the above jobs link for more details and compensation information.
I'm no expert, but I bet base load is mostly an artifact of having fossil fuels, not a reason to keep them around.

When you have cheap storage in the form of coal or oil barrels, it makes sense to just use energy whenever. But that will change - people will change their behaviors and business processes to adapt to the new conditions. Energy-expensive activities will become asynchronous - programmed to run whenever energy is cheap. Guaranteed energy - knowing you'll have a certain amount of kWh to spend at a specific time - will be expensive, and will be mostly used for prioritizing when the production is low.

Once your real base load drops enough, you won't need much storage to keep up even when production is abnormally low. Keeping a coal plant for the rare situations in which storage isn't enough, simply won't be economical. A natgas plant is more likely.

I really admire any DB that helps with zero effort scaling. I have immense respect for engineers that solve DB scaling problems. However i have to say this: The last DBaaS we used was FoundationDB. They left us and many others hanging dry. Ever since our blind choice has been AWS RDS Multi-AZ.
The inspect element tool is actually a meme on TikTok, where the content creator changes some high priced luxury item (ie yeezyees) to a low price and improbably buys them. I’ve seen others where they change their “grade” in a class. I think this would go over well also.

The issue is the spaces, so let's get rid of them!

(p nil (text (string-join '("This" "is "a" '(b nil "really") '(b nil "cool") "sentence.") " ")))

No more wondering if the space between 'really' and 'cool' should be bold and no need to have awkward preceding and trailing padding.

>random scribbling of data into a .txt file is also a database “because the data is put into lines”

There are plenty of computer programs that use text files as databases, reading and writing lines. /etc/passwd is one very common example, the passwd file is just a text database that you can read with any text editor.

I find this particularly interesting, as everyone seems to be assuming that Google keeps their information "private".

But my YouTube history contains other people's videos, and I've been unable to get them to resolve the mixup. They don't seem to care.

Of course, in the case of YouTube, it is simply amusing to get videos for toddlers in your history or recommendations. It will be much less amusing to get other people's purchase history mixed in with yours.

The article you linked to says it's rolling out today, June 3rd, but your screenshot ends on Saturday June 1st, doesn't it? So, probably not.
This is a popular sentiment, but didn't ring true for me as a frequent traveler. I've been taking regular 1h45m flights in the past few months, so I added up my actual travel time for those trips. It did take 4h15m when everything was included... but the part that was unique to air travel (arriving earlier at airport, security) only added up to 40 minutes.

It's true that a 1.5h flight would take me 4h, but most of that extra time is universal to all travel. An equivalent 1h30m train ride would take me 3h20m. Not that much more favorable.
That's correct. I don't care about these issues. The repos are open source, so track away. That's a large part of what my code doest, ironically. I work in Adtech and I have no problem with adblock-blocking. YMMV
Not only that, but Excel can tether back to a traditional rdbms for pull/push data. It's often the preferred way for PMs to interact with, for example, VSTS/TFS. There is absolutely a LOT that can be done with Excel and other spreadsheets, and it shouldn't be underestimated.

I'd rather not work with them more than basic/classic usage of a more well formed data dump. I use spreadsheets for monthly finances, some historical information that fits well, and a few other use cases. I'm not big on VBA and have little desire to work in the space.

I have, however, seen some amazing usage of Excel and other spreadsheets for everything from charting and pivot data, to multi-user applications tethering to other data stores.
Again, I'm talking about possible future technology. What if you can infer labels some other way? The fundamental element you need is not labels but a cost function - that could e.g. be curiosity and fear (of disappointing the end user). The most fundamental part that ML is missing to be AI, is to have a model of the world, with which such a cost function could evolve organically. Once you have that, AI can go and explore on its own.
25 minutes is achievable in the Bay Area within SF (transit/biking), or within the suburb where you work (driving), it is just not feasible when living in the suburbs and working in the city, or vice versa.

The East Bay commuters in my office make as much as I do and could live in SF if they wanted. They made a choice to be homeowners, have more space, get access to better schools, etc. but it is still a choice.

If you think anarcho-capitalism is weird, read about Anarcho-communism[1]. It always seemed intuitive to me that collectivism and anarchism were mutually exclusive, but apparently that's not the case.

Once, with a group of 7th graders (but I think it'd work with 5th graders as well), I explained programming as a form of puzzle-solving, illustrated by a little game based on an old puzzle/problem:

"You have a 3-gallon jug, a 5-gallon jug, and an unlimited supply of water. How do you get exactly 4 gallons of water without estimating?"

We made it a game by having them write down the steps they would take, e.g. "Fill five gallon jug, pour from five gallon jug into three gallon jug, etc...", with a prize of a candy bar for a correct solution.

I gave the talk to 5-6 groups of ~20-30 7th graders, and there was at least one correct solution in every group. My favorite was afterward, waiting in the library for the end of my wife's workday, one of the kids spotted me and came over to ask questions about alternative approaches.

Oh yes, no one killed on Tiananmen Square. Because they are killed around the square or one nearby roads. So like a murderer arguing that "I didn't kill that guy, it's the bullet from my gun did it".

Yeah, I'm not arguing that you can't make life better by eating better. If anything the desire to eat better is usually part of a larger desire to take care of yourself, which usually comes with a whole swath of lifestyle changes that lead to a better general well-being. I just don't think it's magic that'll turn "I'm burned out and miserable" to "I love my work and life" through a reduction in Twinkies and an increase in "beta-amine-32-oxylate" or some other nonsense.
This is the second front-page post today that is a link to a content marketing firm's own content marketing.
What makes you think manufacturing isn't done in the US? China has a lot of cheap labor so things that are best done by cheap labor move there. (less so now as China is moving up). There is a lot of manufacturing that remains in the US, anything that benefits from automation and cheap reliable energy is best done in the US where energy is cheap and reliable and there are automation engineers.
The question came up a couple of days ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20052076 and of course last year. Moderators have never commented afaik, they rarely do on feature requests.
I don't understand how this is a new realization, this has been the implication since Day 1, for using email to personalize Ads. Everything else is just new fluff ontop of the core offering.
Hey.

You didn't leave info on how to reach out.
Hilarious. How is the State Dep. gonna be able to verify all profiles cross SM platforms?
How did you arrive at 0.4%? That seems like a lot to pay for insurance.

If they take 2.9% normally, 0.4% is about 14% extra in fees for every transaction you make, but disputes on a legitimate product are probably 1 in 5,000 (and Stripe will charge you a $15 flat fee if you lose the dispute which you will if it was related due to credit card fraud).

If you sell 5,000 products at $50 that's $250,000 in revenue. Stripe would normally take 2.9% which is $7,250 but now with "fraud production" they would take 3.3% for $8,250. So you've just spent an extra $1,000 out of pocket to save yourself $15 in a dispute fee that Stripe charges you. That's really steep.

If you had 66 fraud charges within 5,000x $50 transactions (to break even on fees), I would really look into why you're getting so many disputes. That's astronomically high.
But what if you've physical products where you already inoccured sufficient cost. What if someone buys from you again and again and chargeback each time?
Just a guess on my part, but UserDefinedFunction?
I can attest this is a cool company. It's not just kool-aid, the management does care about their employees.
