Seems like a move in the right direction but are there any exceptions to this rule? Surely there are some dolphins being kept in captivity for good reasons (health, conservation programmes), if such is not the case I don't see much of a downside to this apart from the obvious impacts on employment in that industry...
This seems to be a trend with big tech companies - they try to get into a new domain under their name and then when it succeeds half-heartedly kill it off.

It looks very dysfunctional and inefficient even from a venture capital "recycle it and risk it for another moonshot again" perspective and makes it look like they have lost their ability to innovate entirely once they start posting positive income to justify their stock cost. I am not sure if it is as dysfunctional as it looks or I am missing something.
Depends. California’s law only applies if you aren’t working in the same business as your employer, which means if you work for any large company you almost certainly can get in trouble with pretty much anything.
Keep it if it brings you happiness, after all, that's the point.

It's the rest of the stuff that can go. I helped a friend move last month. After we'd been to the 5 places she kept her stuff, we discovered she had 5 coffee machines, 5 cutting boards, 5 juicers, etc. etc.

The things you describe make you happier and are not stuff. The things I described are just stuff.
Preloading in the browser? I guess... my understanding was that the major benefit of AMP is the stripped-down markup. eg. in AMP you can't have a giant background video, or a bunch of JS email opt-ins driven through live A/B tests... all the random stuff that slows down sites these days.
It is indeed common to have a "project name" when buying/selling a company - but in my experience that has always been largely for reasons of secrecy, so it is a bit odd in this case.

My employer offered to buy me a laptop. It was a perfectly good laptop in most respects, but I turned it down because I didn’t like the keyboard.
My main objection to this sort of thing is the logistical overhead of living with it and dealing with the eventual returns.

You have to keep track, mentally or otherwise, of what's rented and what's not. You will treat the rented things differently, even if only subconsciously.

When the time comes to return it, you have to deal with a website or a flurry of emails. Probably there is some boxing and taping and printing and packing and mailing. You have to verify the return is received and monies are refunded.

I guess some money is saved, and perhaps reuse is encouraged, but at the expense of cognitive cycles and time.

I'd rather just buy. The ecological wastefulness argument strikes me as, like recycling, operating on very, very thin margins.

>When you ask a large PCB fab for anything that isn't 1.6mm thick FR4 white-on-green and standard stackup

actually most of the china fabs (PCBWAY, JLC, elecrow, allpcb etc) include most of these options in their "prototyping" offers now.
some even have MATTE BLACK and controlled impedance at no extra cost. competition is fierce right now so it always pays to shop around (and not just using PCB shopper)
Except for simply not collecting the data, the only other option is making the cost of retrieval be equivalent or greater, irreducibly, to the expected value of keeping it.

Approximately, the digital equivalent of having a human rifle through filing cabinets to get to that one folder that is actually important.

To this day, the only reliable way to achieve this has been printing things on paper, especially if put in individual folders do that even OCR efforts take some human work.

Time spent by human hands are, in a way, the only somewhat fair currency to measure privacy in.
I got really into F# for a couple years, and so Mark Seemann was someone I would read and watch quite often. Something I've noticed, is that F# has had very little impact as a language, but the small group of people involved with it seem really worth paying attention to. I feel like there is a chance that F#'s major contribution to programming will be its enthusiasts more than its project.

Not sure; in the UK there is no fracking beyond a bit of exploration yet, but the "dash for gas" converted a lot of power stations and the remaining coal-fired ones were closed by the Large Combustion Plant Directive. We're now down to near-zero coal consumption. Even Drax has been retrofitted to burn wood (although this is of questionable sustainability since it has to be imported - last time I ran the maths I concluded it would burn every tree in the UK in a year)

In return you get a road to your house I suppose. That seems pretty useful. You can also do your research when purchasing a home and check how old the road is and what the local regulations are. That roads need to be redone every twenty five to forty years shouldn't come as a surprise.
The first step making fertilizer is making ammonia. Amonia is made with the Haber-Bosch[1] process by combining nitrogen with hydrogen. The hydrogen from that is made by combining steam and natural gas to make hydrogen and carbon monoxide[2]. The carbon from the natural gas ends up as CO2 in the atmosphere. If there were more green way to produce hydrogen for a reasonable price that would knock out a significant source of global CO2 emissions.

If solar power gets cheap enough maybe it'll make sense to use the excess power at noon for electrolysis, though I don't have a good sense of the capital costs for that.

Nannou has a pretty long initial setup and build time (about 15 minutes on macOS for me) compared with Processing and similar, but it's worth exploring for the scope and goals it has: https://guide.nannou.cc/why_nannou.html#goals.
Is there evidence all these creatures dislike captivity and would prefer fending for themselves in the wild? Genuinely curious. Not that it means anything, but dolphins have always seemed happy in captivity so long as they are being cared for appropriately.
While this might have been one of the reasons, most likely from the (sometimes rather native) perspective of devs, I still attribute mostly malice to this whole thing and hope it gets them good in the whole antitrust issue. Even if it were just that, trying to tackle slow loading pages out of selflessness on Google's side, I can only say: None of your ducking business. Make sure your pages load fast, and then that's it.
Indexes in PostgreSQL, Part 10: Bloom
Fun little snippet of history =), but something that seems to get missed often in time-keeping is that 12, 24, and 60 are not accidental, they're used for a good reason - they're highly divisible numbers.

12 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 6

24 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12

60 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30

Compare that to

10 (divisible by 2, 5) and

100 (divisible by 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50),

and you start to see the problem. You can't split a 10 hour day into quarters without a decimal, and you can't split a 10 hour day into thirds without an infinite decimal or a fraction.

"

But in 1793, the French smashed the old clock in favor of French Revolutionary Time: a 10-hour day, with 100 minutes per hour, and 100 seconds per minute. This thoroughly modern system had a few practical benefits, chief among them being a simplified way to do time-related math...

"

isn't really true. Sub-dividing days and hours into smaller, equal pieces is a critical part of time-keeping, and it really isn't simpler with 10 and 100.

(It strikes me that there might be startup value in "home inventory management", although it would have to be made as frictionless as possible - wave a camera round your kitchen, inside all the cupboards, get a list of everything you own. Snoop your Amazon webpages so it can remind you not to buy things you already have.)
The first-gen Threadripper only had two dies, and even the WX series was a bit weird internally, with two of the four dies not being able to perform IO.

I know it's not a big difference, but given the changes to IO and the 16 core consumer version, I don't see why there would be any internal difference to EPYC this time around (which this article claims will have a variable number of chiplets).
I've had InTune and also some VMWare device management installed on my device in the past, and during installation you do get a warning that your admins will be able to delete everything on your device.

It kind of makes sense for them to do that if your device is stolen, but I still just don't like handing over control of my device like that.

They typically also enforce other annoying policies, such as not allowing rooted devices, not allowing swipe patterns and requiring a PIN/password. The VMWare one even required that all browsing went through their shitty browser app (and presumably they got all my history).

Again, some of this makes sense from an enterprise point of view, but as a user it's annoying and feels invasive.

Hubble was fixed so it can perform its mission: it was uniquely qualified to send high resolution images of the universe, which proved invaluable to our understanding of space.

I think they've got the market segmented decently. Ryzen's the consumer chip after all, and it's high end configuration boarders on prosumer for sure.

Sure, it certainly won't immediately adjust perfectly, but when authorities close some route or bust a large shipment, there will likely be some price change because of limited supply, increased risk (and cost) for transportation, right. It's not like drug buyers will just say "oh, you don't have any this month? okay, see you in six weeks".

>The primary benefit of a large conventional military is to deter such an event from even happening. That said, the air support provided from carriers definitely helped a great deal to curb and reverse the spread of ISIS.

I'd believe that, a decade or two ago. The Global Hawk drone has a declassified record of 33.1 hours of flight time at 60,000 feet though for surveillance and doesn't have pilot fatigue as swapping out a pilot is as simple as "hey Greg,your shift is about over, stand up whenever you're ready and I'll take over watching the monitors".

UCAVs (unnamed combat aerial vehicles) are possessed by more than 20 confirmed countries. The United States as 2 publcily known variants, the MQ-1 since 1995 and the MQ-9 since 2001. The MQ-9 costs about 16 million dollars, can carry 750lbs of payload to 50,000 feet and fly for 30 hours or carry considerably more (like Hellifre, JDAM, laser guided bombs etc) for much shorter periods. These can take off from any sufficiently long flat surface, can be transported anywhere in the world in C-17s and honestly it wouldn't surprise me if they've devised a way to launch them out of C-17s.

As ISIS doesn't have fighter jets, there's no need to have fighter jets ready to take off to engage them. Aerial combat as a whole is effectively a thing of yesteryear.

Having a giant floating city in the ocean six-thousand persons simply isn't necessary anymore. Yes, we need certain types of ships for guarding ports and trade routes by aircraft carriers are gross overkill and largely the money-giving beast of lobbyists, politicians and defense contractors.

>If this were true, then it would be economically advantageous for those 100 people to borrow the money themselves

Except for the part where college tuition is outrageous, many many people do not qualify for government subsidized loans and interest rates on private loans can be outrageous and you could easily be servicing the loans for DECADES unless you want to live in a van with 3 other people.

It's possible I missed the point - but I'll leave it to the OP to correct me. My point was that 'vegan vs non-vegan' is not a choice people make based on factors like those they might use to make a decision between petrol vs electric.
In many cases, and even more so in the most critical components, there is no second tier of suppliers. There is no market for second tier components. Using second tier components would subtract so much value that OEMs in highly competitive businesses, like Apple or Samsung, can't even consider such substitutions.

So we can't "go it alone." That may be a feature, not a bug.
Sometimes it is straight up wrong too. I once got a picture of a sign with a traffic light on it asking me to identify the traffic light. If you selected nothing it wouldn't let you go ahead. So I clicked the squares with the sign and it let me proceed. I don't even think it should be that difficult to see that it wasn't a traffic light since all colors were bright. A typical in use light will only show one color at a time.

while still not "in a weekend" I've had cheap service PCB's from AllPCB in under a week order to door. it does help to have the "ready for shipping" point not fall on a weekend though. I think my record was 5 days from submitting my gerbers to them hitting my doorstep but i suppose everything aligned exactly though (and needless to say, that was using fast shipping like DHL. Allpcb aren't crazy cheap like they were though - for a while it was $5 for 10x prototype boards (under 100mm^2 area) with free DHL. But they've been gradually been increasing their prices and they don't work out as competitice as the other main prototyping offerings)
But Airbus shoehorned the same thing - a CFM LEAP - into an older design, just like Boeing did.

It's not the case that they won't have to try, they already did it years ago.
> Yes, lack of the higher kind polymorphism makes it harder to express these abstract types universally

Here's a way of doing ad-hoc polymorphism to implement a more general monad in C#. It's limited in that the return type for Bind can be any monad (although it still type checks). There are a few other issues (not least it's ugly as hell). But, it does allow for building of very general monadic operations (along with other ad-hoc polymorphic types).

// Typeclass (ish)
public interface Monad<MA, A>
{
MA Return(A x);

MA Fail(object error = null);

MB Bind<MonadB, MB, B>(MA ma, Func<A, MB> f)
where MonadB : struct, Monad<MB, B>;
}

// Class instance of Monad for Option
public struct MOption<A> : Monad<Option<A>, A>
{
public MB Bind<MonadB, MB, B>(Option<A> ma, Func<A, MB> f)
where MonadB : struct, Monad<MB, B> =>
ma is Some<A> x
? f(x.Value)
: default(MonadB).Fail();

public Option<A> Return(A x) =>
new Some<A>(x);

public Option<A> Fail(object error = null) =>
new None<A>();
}

// Option 'discriminated union'
public interface Option<A>
{
}

public class Some<A> : Option<A>
{
public readonly A Value;
public Some(A value) => Value = value;
}

public class None<A> : Option<A>
{
public None() { }
}

// Testing adding any two M<int> types together. Doesn't need to just work with
// ints, it's just a simple example.
public class Test
{
public void Test1()
{
// Some 200
var r1 = AddAnyMonads<MOption<int>, Option<int>>(new Some<int>(100), new Some<int>(100));

// None
var r2 = AddAnyMonads<MOption<int>, Option<int>>(new Some<int>(100), new None<int>());
}

public MInt AddAnyMonads<MonadInt, MInt>(MInt ma, MInt mb)
where MonadInt : struct, Monad<MInt, int> =>
default(MonadInt).Bind<MonadInt, MInt, int>(ma, x =>
default(MonadInt).Bind<MonadInt, MInt, int>(mb, y =>
default(MonadInt).Return(x + y)));
}

I have a more complete example in language-ext [1] which unifies monads that take inputs (like Reader and State) and produce output (like Writer) with the more simple monads like Option.

That would depend on our ability to assess the creatures likes and dislikes, which is unlikely to be perfect. They might appear fine that doesn't mean they actually are. For that reason I suggest it would make more sense to only allow keeping animals in captivity if we can prove they're not being harmed rather than assume they're alright and only ban keeping them when we can be prove it harms them.

The learning mechanism[1] is actually relatively well understood (at least as far as neuroscience goes) but it isn't used for ANNs because Spiking Neural Networks(SNNs) don't map well onto conventional computing hardware whereas the matrix multiplication used by conventional ANNs does.

I agree that it's worth researching but currently it is quite difficult to compete with conventional ANNs due to the commonality of processors well suited for ANNs.

I'm reminded of parallels between cell phone location privacy and genetic tracking. The average person does not understand that they are creating a record of everywhere they go when they have their cell phone on. The same is true with your DNA - while it's true that you do in fact leave a literal trace of your genes, you don't expect that you could be identified later on simply by the fact that you had lunch.
