The older I get the more I see this as a _critical_ soft skill to have in the corporate world. I wish I could go back to myself in earlier engineering roles and say, "just stop talking - these people don't care, they're only here for the narrative."

You make many valid points that I agree with. On a person's mindset, I would say a manager's character does play a role in how they will react. Sometimes some managers are too weak and fear the higher ups so will unleash on the junior. Sometimes though the manager, themselves are also going through issues in their own life so yeah the person's mindset will play a role. The type of organisation will play a role. If incentives are wrong the wrong types of people get promoted and it has the potential to go downhill very quickly.
Since a sibling mentioned Huntsville, AL, the US Space and Rocket Center now houses the Saturn V stack in the Davidson Center (built for that purpose) along with multiple other exhibits, including the Apollo 16 command module. The Space and Rocket Center is definitely worth a stop if you get a chance.

If you stop in on a Thursday between March and October, a biergarten is set up under the rocket in the evenings. Food's not the best but having sausages and beer while sitting under a Saturn V is a truly unique experience.
Knowing the fate of the California HSR project, what makes you think this is realistic in any way, shape or form?

I mean, I would pay airline-level prices for an autonomous electric air drone taxi from my house in Seattle to my destination in Chicago, and as crazy as that sounds, it still might be more realistic than what you're asking for.

I worked for a fortune < 10 company. One day I found a complete dump of all public AND PRIVATE slack messages sitting on a dev server that was open to all.

I reported it to security. Next day I'm suspended. Turns out security did it because they wanted to search through 'just in case' but didn't want to go through the process properly.

Either it was my fault or they were incompetent, guess which one they chose. I was forced to quit eventually.
But then that just means the area isn't high density enough, right? High density means greater supply. As supply increases, you would expect that the cost of a flat will decrease, except if value had been created by increasing the density. I think value will be created by increasing the density initially; consider the extreme case of city property value versus country-side property value. That can only keep happening up to a certain point, of course. It seems most places haven't found that ceiling yet. As you mentioned, high density to you implies high cost. That's because the density isn't yet high enough.

Transmission losses are also far lower than people keep pretending on the web. This[0] says 3% per 1000km, meaning Nebraska to California could be done at about a 5% loss, which could easily be offset by any number of factors such as lower construction costs, more favourable wind conditions, or availability of land.

Then we'll have to agree to disagree. I've run several hundred presentations over HDMI with the dongle that I have and have been able to do several hundred more via VGA, DVI, etc. without that. Other than that, I don't have 5 dongles. All my devices and cables are USB-C now and it's of great benefit to me that I can be flexible and plug them in anywhere, chain them, get power from them, and essentially run them all off of 1 hub that only takes 1 cable to the computer. For me, USB-C is amazing.
You can but the background check is after an offer of employment and given the fair credit reporting act they have to tell you why they rejected you.
I would much prefer a library such as this be done in C/C++ so it could be packaged up as a library that could be called from other languages. Pretty much every major language has some form of FFI to call out to C/C++ code. This way, you can get consistent behavior if you need to parse robots.txt in python vs ruby vs java vs etc.

To be clear, I’m not talking about visitor parking. Even with garages and a driveway, residential parking spills into the street in suburban neighborhoods.

Suburban Portland is not Chicago or Singapore. There is no competing transit infrastructure outside of a few main thoroughfares. Also it’s tone deaf for you to propose parking fees for residents in response to the increased number of cars brought about by a density increase in suburban neighborhoods, ostensibly to solve a housing affordability crisis.

Single family neighborhoods need to just be razed to the ground and reconstructed in a sustainable manner, not this bandaid
No, you don't. USB-C supports Thunderbolt. The most you'd need is a cable.
Different mechanisms.

The Smith quote is a demand-side dynamic: increased wealth > increased activity > increased demand.

Sprawl is a supply-side dynamic, increasing the minimum viable cost floor: greater sprawl, greater frictions, transport and commute delays, congestion and travel costs. For a given unit of labour you're incurring a greater overhead in (dead) travel time. Efficiency is decreasing, but labour demands its minimum viable wage.
There are many ways in which I prefer IRC to Slack, and I agree with Sir_Cmpwn's general premise that some of Slack's features are more trouble than they're worth. (Slack's threaded replies are definitely one of them, and while I've seen better implementations in IRC-like systems, "just don't thread replies" is so far the best implementation I've seen.) But the problem you're describing here is arguably one of Slack's advantages, not a disadvantage.

> Consumers may well consider electric vehicles a new category, making brand value not transferrable.

I guess this is the reasoning behind Kia's very strong investment in electric cars. They never managed to break the image of European cars having the best engines [1], and look at electric as an opportunity to break the stronghold. The risk for the European auto industry is real, and present in the market.

[1] European diesel and gasoline engines are indeed an engineering marvel, so the technological moat is real, but eroding due to a technology phase-out. Interesting times ahead.
> Is Golang significantly slower than c++ ?
> Depends the context, but in general, yes.

I don't believe this is the case. Most optimized, natively compiled languages all perform similarly. Go, C, CPP, Rust, Nim, etc. I'm sure there are edge-cases where this isn't the case, but they all perform roughly the same.

The performance rift only starts when you introduce some form of a VM, and/or use an interpreted language. Even then, under certain workloads their optimizations can put them close to their native counter parts, but otherwise are generally slower.

The real reason Google didn't re-write this in Go is likely because the library is already finished, it works, a re-write would require more extensive testing, etc. Why spend precious man-hours on a needless re-write?
Why the dumpster fire and crash though instead of stability or expansion into space for example?

Seems like a silly guess. Plus bad climate and famines and wars can stop it much earlier than those 10 billion.
As Microsoft point out, this can be achieved with System Restore points.
Those numbers don't make sense. It certainly doesn't take 2.5× more labor hours to assemble a diesel drive train then a comparable gasoline one. The difference is really marginal. Some parts are more complex and have to be stronger, but others are simpler.
I'm really not sure what I'd do if a coworker fled the area to avoid being compelled to do their job, threatened to murder anyone who tried to get them to do their job, then showed back up at work. It's just totally beyond the pale. But I can't really blame someone for being uncomfortable in the situation.
The news is that now they will do commercial whaling in Japan rather than “scientific” whaling in Antartica.
Google has been very clear lately (via John Mueller) regarding getting pages indexed or removed from the index.

If you want to make sure a URL is not in their index then you have to 'allow' them to crawl the page in robots.txt and use a noindex meta tag on the page to stop indexing. Simply disallowing the page from being crawled in robots.txt will not keep it out of the index.

In fact, I've seen plenty of pages still rank well despite the page being disallowed in robots.txt. A great example of this is the keyword "backpack" in Google. You'll see the site doesn't want it indexed (it's disallowed in robots.txt) but the site still ranks well for a popular keyword).
QuitMormon and the tricky process of leaving the Church
I just booted up a windows 10 machine earlier today for the first time in many months.

It absolutely bewilders me how terribad the UI is. You have this fancy UI but if you ever click one or two options deep you end up getting these alternately styled legacy interfaces. It's so incoherent.

It really makes windows 10 feel like a skin on top of windows xp.

So when the article says Microsoft wants to push users into windows 10 all I can think of is that it's for the good of Microsoft. But they had to add a little window dressing to make the users happy.
The problem isn't that the law is poorly drafted, it's that the underlying premise is flawed.

For example, suppose the UK operation needs money to buy inventory. One possibility is to sell its own shares. Then it has "free" money, zero borrowing cost, so it makes profits. Another possibility is to go to a lender and borrow the money at interest. Then the interest payments eat its profits.

That difference in treatment is intended. The idea behind the distinction is that loan interest doesn't depend on the success of the business. If the business does poorly the investors make less profit but a lender isn't owed less interest. If the business does well the investors make more profit but a lender isn't owed more interest. That's the difference between profit and interest.

But in this context the retail operation has highly predictable costs and revenues, and it's easy to adjust things in real time as sales volume increases or decreases. It's not like R&D where you have to spend for five years before you start making potential returns. So it's easy to borrow exactly the amount of money you need at market interest rates in an arms length transaction, and have the interest eat up your profits.

And none of that is "wrong" -- profits come from investment. If nobody made any initial investment into the UK operation and it had to borrow all of its operating capital, it's completely expected in an efficient market that the borrowing costs would eat all its profits. The expected return (profit) on investing no money is no money.

The problem isn't transfer pricing. The amount they're paying can be the amount you would pay in an arms length transaction and still have it eat all their profits. A retail operation that has taken no investment will legitimately have minimal profits.

"too big to protect" is coming
The Mac Pro can't do any of that either unless you get the add-in cards that specifically accelerate that. There's nothing magic about the core system. Same Xeon-Ws that everyone else has. Same ECC RAM as everyone else. Same PCI-E lanes as everyone else. Same GPUs as everyone else. Same performance as everyone else.

The video accelerator card is the only Mac Pro-specific thing, and it's competing against existing (albeit more expensive) products that enable that, too. Like the RED ROCKET-X. Or the CUDA-accelerated decoders on Quadros that you can't put in a Mac Pro.

Assuming the Company is large enough to have an HR Department; expect them to conduct an investigation. Their primary role is to protect the company.

As a Manager-- you'll want to align yourself with HR (be politically savvy) seek their guidance and consider the needs of the broader organization first.

Understand that lots of people are watching you now. You'll need to be extra courteous and thoughtful in your words and actions.

The Colab notebook linked in the article (which I made) is designed to make it as user-friendly as possible to finetune GPT-2 and generate text from it. Unfortunately "as possible" is load-bearing in this case, as GPT-2 is slightly more difficult to work with.

In the case of short-form content like this, using a single-column CSV with each document as a row will automatically prepend/append the texts with appropriate start/stop tokens, which you can then force the model to generate text within those bounds and regex out the text you want. (this is what gpt-2-simple does with the prefix, truncate, and include_prefix parameters to generate())

That's a misleading statement. From your linked article:

"Trains in countries like Japan are predominantly electric and transport a much larger number of people per cabin than trains in the US. While it’s difficult to broadly compare trains between regions it’s safe to say that trains in European and Asian countries are far more fuel efficient than those in the US, making them a leading option for travel.

In most cases outside of the US, trains are probably at least as efficient as buses and are much more efficient than cars and planes."

Again, don't make assumptions that it's stupid, based on little data and no math.

First, hydro power is very stable, and Quebec has a surplus, so they could probably get a good price deal for an ongoing relationship. The construction cost is nothing, compared to the ongoing cost. What does that Canadian power cost, vs the cost of wind? They could be looking at tremendous savings over the next few decades.

Second, this appears to be a New York City decision, not a New York state decision. Does NYC have enough viable land to build a gigawatt (or more like 3-4gw, considering load variation) of wind? Probably not.

I have never seen a train with in seat entertainment (other than looking out the window!). Is that even a thing?
No, it could be taken from the amount gained by Apple shareholders.
It can be limit process though, like a sigmoid, that eventually becomes stationary. That is a big assumption though. Evolution was punctuated by such seeming stable domains only to reset everything once conditions changed... Or push past previously known barriers. This including technical progress early in human history. The population function over long time is not exactly smooth either.

Just one example: when I’m working on a random unknown bolt, I have to try two sets of sockets on it because I don’t know if it’s metric or imperial. Worse, there are some sizes which are close enough to grip and seem like a fit, but which will damage the head when more than moderate torque is applied.

The railway from Beijing via Xining to Lhasa in Tibet passes over the Tanggula Pass at 5,072 m (16,640 feet) above sea level (apparently the world's highest point on a railway) before dropping you at Lhasa at 3,490 m (11,975 feet) [1].

It takes two days at around 100 to 120 km/h over 675 bridges, though some recommend [2] that you spend a day or so in Xining on the way to acclimatise to the altitude.

Every train carries a doctor and oxygen to increase the concentration of oxygen in the carriages from 21% to 25% (but no pressurisation), plus a separate oxygen supply for each passenger.
