Why should we trust our bank and Government? Given that they nature and compositions of banks and Governments change often, and historically have had periods of complete untrustworthiness, why shouldn't it be assumed that you should not implicitly trust your bank or Government?

There's SW prefetch instructions and HW prefetching engines. SW prefetch instructions have largely been a bust. Linus is famous for ranting about them.

HW looks at access patterns (as you say) and does at least as good a job.
Fiber might be something people want, but it's also something people have been falsely sold so many times. In the late 2000s, my cable company said they were putting in fiber, and i got a cable modem. AT&T called adsl2 (and sometimes simply rebranded adsl1) U-verse and sent people around neighborhoods saying it was fiber.

How are normal people supposed to know fiber to the home is actually fiber?

We have been under-funding maintenance for decades and problems, such as this example, will be on the rise given the additional stressors due to climate change.

It is a problem of political will. To quote Vonnegut, "Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance."
Are you sure. From my father and grandfather who have had to put down wild animals in the Indian jungle, I have heard the otherway round. Monkeys, dears and birds give characteristic warning calls when they see a tiger on the hunt.
The closest analogy would be that you gave me your house key so I could go in and water your plants while you’re on vacation (signing up for an account), but someone grabbed the key off my counter because I left my back door unlocked. The folks who had their information leaked in this instance had signed up for accounts with C1.

I feel the comment well covers why GH stars feel more immportant; starring a repo is something you do specifically when you feel the repo really helps you out, you feel like you may need it in the future, or you think someone put a lot of effort into something and executed their idea well. That personal measurement, the number of people [developers] who think a repo is helpful specifically for their use, gives the repo validity for new developers looking for a project that can also be helpful to them. While this isn't 100% true for every GH repo, a lot of stars is a good indicator for usefulness.

Twitter and IG followers effectively do the same thing, but the issue is that it generally only measures things in the spectrum of "posts funny stuff", "is popular", etc. The GH star system has more weight because of what it represents compared to the counters of other social platforms.
I don’t always agree with the way he’s conducted himself and I don’t understand why people overshare on Twitter when the upside is minuscule and downside is huge. But Elon does seem to be pushing make the world a better place. I’ve a feeling he will be viewed more favorably by future generations. I work in energy and I am super excited to see alternatives to fossil fuels come online.
I think the point is: unless the hacker is already aware of how to sell PII of this nature and how to move "good money" then a hack like this is for naught.

Reading the mistakes made in the hack itself makes me wonder if black markets and money laundering are a skill they posses.

I'm sorry but I don't see which sentence makes you think that: esp the ignorant villagers part.

> hunted down by the British and the local Maharajas for "sport"

The article too points this out. And at the Raj Mahals (Palaces of the Kings) of the Mysore State there was indeed a display of photographs, pictures of Tiger kills by not just the Rajas but also by visiting dignitaries.

Additionally, it wasn't uncommon to have Tigers killed, back then, due to danger to human lives. And the Tiger hunters were celebrated heroes.

One trick a lot of PMs and other managers don't seem to understand is to listen and really understand what people are dealing with. If people are complaining about something then listen and see if you can improve the situation. It doesn't help to constantly ask "When is it done?" but you should ask "How can I help?". And then really help and don't just set up more meetings that don't result in anything.

Also, learn how to use JIRA or whatever tracking is being used. In my company managers doesn't bother to look at the JIRA board so you end up reporting the same thing five times to different management levels.

In short, be less controlling but try to help and treat people like professionals who know what they are doing.

There is no fiduciary requirement to put profits above all else. In fact there is no fiduciary duty to make profits, just basically to do what's best for the company. There is no short term time frame listed. If there is a requirement to make profits it's not because it's a responsibility. Shareholders may want it but no one gets punished if a bad decision for the long term success of the company doesn't pan out. There's numberous examples of CEOs that attempted to pivot when it wasn't the most profitable course of events and then receiving a nice severance more than most employees make in a lifetime of work for failing.
Too much water.

The Great Lakes are at record high levels this year, causing flooding and sandy beaches on the lake shores to simply disappear under water.

The St. Lawrence river discharges approx. 16,800 m^3 a second of freshwater from the Great Lakes. However re-diverting the water to areas outside the watershed are would require an international compact between the U.S. and Canada and the various sovereign Indian territories to allow for it to happen.
Gnu always adopted other projects where needed. The existence of Linux would have caused the Gnu folks to de-prioritize Hurd. By the time they realized that Linus had a slightly different vision (TiVo) Linux driver support was already pretty good.

Trips where they pay the driver more than the customer pays.

They are constantly running promotions to encourage drivers. They are constantly running promotions to encourage riders.

It's not clear that they make very much if riders and drivers are at the regular rate either. They've got to pay the merchant fees for all the card not present transactions, and maybe platform fees to apple and google, too?
Doordash billing bug – anyone have info?
Tonight I put in an order on web (mobile safari). I updated the tip to 0 (tip cash!), which updated the total to reflect that. After submit, I immediately see the apple pay notification for a greater amount than shown on the page. They billed for the prior amount with tip included.

At first I just assumed it was an onblur/onclick mistake, because I went straight from the text input to the submit button click, but then I remembered that the total had been properly updated.

Upon further inspection, I see that not only is the textbox updating the total on update, but it's actually hitting stripe's api with the correct queryString param 'updates-total-amount' on each keypress... but still somehow billing the wrong amount.

Anyone at doordash hq that can speak to this?

I lived in Baltimore for a few years in college. There are definitely some nice things about it, like the aquarium, and a decent choice of restaurants (however this should come with the caveat that the inner harbor has lots of police standing around, so its level of safety is not that organic). It also has a good selection of sports teams for a city its size.

It still has one of the highest crime rates in the US, so I don't think criticism of the city is necessarily ill-informed.

I know this comment was made in jest but it's completely correct. When the iPhone launched it was the smartphone market. It had 100% market share.

Apple didn't build products for the budget market and as a result they lost about 90% of their global market share to Android.

Facebook was already profitable pre-IPO and was forced to go public because of some security law involving the number of investors.

But the number of tech startups that go public is small. Only one YC backed company has ever gone public - Dropbox. And it seems to be proving Steve Jobs right. It was never a product, it was a feature. It still doesn’t have a clear road to sustainable profitability.

Even out of the few that have gone public within the last 10 years, most of the tech darlings still haven’t become profitable.

Mailboxes live in this weird property-right limbo (that I don’t know really anything about) where the homeowner buys it but it is “property of” the US Postal Service. I found this[1] Supreme Court case that sort of touches on how the property rights work.

There was a complaint about feeling guilt-tripped into tipping to make up for the poor wages. That problem doesn't really improve much at all under the "now my delivery person doesn't work for an app." The tipping norms are still mostly the same, where the tip still accounts for a large portion of their takehome pay--basically everything above minimum wage, which is really low and many use their own vehicles, gas, insurance, etc. Not tipping would still be an issue... just as not tipping has been an issue 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 years ago (and possibly longer for food delivery).

The point that most people are missing is: if you don't agree with the business model of expecting customers to pitch in extra for tips, you should not patronize those restaurants and not tip. Just don't order from those restaurants. The issue is not the lowly delivery person, but the business. That does nothing to solve the issue except you are very likely lowering one delivery person's paycheck. The business doesn't think gee, I should change the way I pay people because they still get their delivery order revenue.

I believe the tipping system is shit mostly, but I'm not about to order a delivery service that is completely voluntary (I don't need it to live) and plan on not tipping the person that works for tips. I would tip them or just don't order that delivery.
NSA polygraph operators are not law enforcement officers. Lying to them is nonetheless a violation of 18 USC 1001. However, I am not aware of any case where anyone has been criminally prosecuted for lying during an NSA polygraph interrogation.
>Genome doesn't have sufficient capacity to specify every connection explicitly .. and can encode about 1GB of information (page 6)

but genome (raw DNA sequence) is only small part of much more complex and dynamic system, which includes regulatory networks, metabolic pathways, RNA interference, cell signalling networks and whatnot [0], surely the number of bits that can be encoded by this is much higher than GB, probably by many orders of magnitude. Genome is just a blueprint of machinery that creates another machinery.

This is not to take away from authors point (and complex systems can be created with simple rules and just a few bits) but innate structure itself can be very complex, I'm wondering if there are any neurophysiological studies showing evidence of a built-in universal grammar, Chomsky's old idea [1]

If owning the fleet was valuable, there's not much (probably just labor law and some issues with the mythos) stopping Uber et al from owning the vehicles the drivers drive.

I think self-driving is the cold fusion of the 21st century, but the reason unlicensed taxi companies are pursuing it is because if, by some miracle, it comes to fruition, it might make their business viable, but it would be hard to compete with an automaker running autonomous taxis when you have to buy your autonomous taxis from the automaker you're competing with. If they can build it on top of existing cars, it makes it more possible to compete; and if they end up with an enabling patent, it means they'll probably survive in some form.

It's still a drop in the bucket compared to, for instance, closing the SUV "light truck" efficiency loophole. Which one was more politically palatable? The one with the grand gesture and minor actual savings of course. Forgive me for getting a little cynical about government policy, it must be that weird anxiety creeping up again.

Also you need to take into account the total manufacturing cost of the light. I believe that only recently have some LEDs (and not good ones with a decent spectrum) reached parity with incandescents in terms of TCO.

Finally, I would look at the market for computers and find how much government intervention it took to advance the technology in that industry. Why would the market for light bulbs be any different? Businesses had already switched to fluorescent for cost savings, why can't consumers be allowed to make similar cost/benefit choices?
Basically the same types of uses cases as Kafka and similar systems: event sourcing, CQRS, stream processing (e.g. processing click stream events), data pipelines (e.g. log or metric aggregation used to feed multiple backends), or as a replicated transaction commit log (e.g. use it to create materialized views, populate caches or indexes, etc.). Log compaction means it can do this efficiently by just retaining the current state and discarding older transactions.

2 years back, i uploaded a wildlife video which surprisingly became popular. A year back i noticed im now eligible for monetization as i had crossed the minimum required numbers for Subscribers and Views. One month after applying i got rejected saying the content was duplicate. I thought it was a mistake and applied again and again to no avail. My guess is, someone has content-ID'd the video and monetizing it. The video now sits at 7M+ views and it occassionaly irks me knowing somewhere someone is making money out of that video.

Your opinion of TikTok is most likely due to your personal lens. With a 60 second time limit though the app there's very little time for thoughtful commentary unless you make the video elsewhere and import it. It's closer to a meme generator than a video hosting site, which makes the loss of creators even more problematic. Creators are willing to jump through hoops for less YouTube issues.

I know their contentID and copyright system is hopelessly broken and biased towards stealing from original content creators at the behest if established and larger publishers and this has been a real thorn in the side. Someone literally posted random white noise and it was claimed by multiple people automatically within seconds. That's a failure on YouTube's part that borders on facilitating cooyfraud. I'm surprised they haven't been sure over it yet.
