So what you're saying is that if someone put in the effort to get through device certifications they could disrupt a rather profitable market. I feel like it would be relatively easy to get approval with a 510k (basically saying your device is similar to a pre existing device)

There seems to be some confusion about the point of the article... The point is to, using the example of Activision Blizzard, point out how tax is avoided. For example, with the use of royalty payments.

The title of the original article actually includes a prepended "How", which illustrates that it is primarily about the specific mechanisms of tax avoidance.
That block diagram looks like any other embedded device available today. Less complicated than most. No video processing in there, so lots less complicated.

Having fancy chemistry as in the article is great, but there already exist thermal desalination solutions that require heat (e.g. geothermal, industrial waste heat) rather than work (e.g. electricity for R.O.).
For example MED:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-effect_distillation> or MSF: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-stage_flash_distillation....

Steam is not required for MED. Hot water < 100C is adequate.
Many ocean-going vessels already use the waste heat from their engines and MED to make freshwater from seawater.

ORC driving RO seems to be most efficient in some situations <https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/17/11/7530>, but MED is a simple, no-moving-parts solution that is also efficient.
So they even wrote they resume together! I wonder if Allen wrote both :-)
>As for HFR content being "easily" downsampled - it really isn't, at least not with respect to motion blur

Er, why not? Motion blur is simply time integration. Why can't you simply average adjacent frames during your framerate decimation?

In fact, since "real" motion blur from shuttering uses a likely-suboptimal square windowing function (shutter is binary open/closed), I'd hazard it possible that motion blur computed from a higher source framerate could potentially be more perceptually pleasing (by using a smoother windowing function). You have more information to work with, after all.
Agreed. I'm not 100% sure about the winner-take-all aspect, but to make a serious AR product you essentially have to do all the work required to make a serious VR product, then add a whole lot of inherently fragile complexity on top of that.

On government salary-capped architects and engineers?

DoD is never going to be able to pay what any of the major companies can for top-tier talent.

When Intel benchmarks the performance of certain instructions, they compile the code into a kernel module, and run them with interrupts turned off[0]. Even then there are additional considerations like OoO execution, pipelining, etc. This could be applicable in some narrow scenarios but for most it's overkill. So the question is, how much of this consistency is really needed?

You definitely don't need a predefined schema. You simply make it a responsibility of both the reader and the writer to keep track of what stringy keys have been seen and in what order. You can then refer back into that ordered list of known names the next time a repeated name comes up.

This is just an awful idea all the way through. I'm baffled by how much effort had been put into this. It's almost as if the author went off grid and made this without ever asking anyone if it was a good idea without a second thought for whether it was needed at all. It's also obvious to anyone that you cannot just magically make version numbers disappear and expect everything to go well.
Indeed, my work was of the latter type. It was rejected by Physical Review Letters but accepted by another journal.

Well, that's not exactly true either. When your enemy has counter ballistic missile measures then you will likely use more missiles, but since the nuclear part is very expensive, you're likely to use dummy missiles mixed in with the real ones to overwhelm the counter measures.

Correction needed: every part in a 737-MAX is new; they are not refurbished older 737s. The MAX are supposed to be brand new “fly-alike” planes that makes replacing older 737 models with something more efficient easier for the airline.

Some (two) criticisms of the article:

> "But extremism has been central to 8chan identity since it was founded in 2013 by a computer programmer and self-proclaimed eugenicist Fredrick Brennan."

Brennan himself is both disabled and has said (I can't recall where so forgive me if I'm wrong) that he was just trolling when talking about eugenics. Article says in the next sentence "(Brennan has since distanced himself from his earlier writings and beliefs and has cut ties with the site.)" but I can't help feeling that the initial mentioning of his discussion about eugenics was unnecessary.

> "Protection from Cloudflare"

This entire section looks to me like the article is blaming Cloudflare for 8chan's existence (and subsequently the El Paso shooting). If the author had that in mind they're making pretty big grasps here. Cloudflare has a reputation for trying to support HTTPS for as many sites as possible and offer protection from DDOSing ((disclaimer: I use their registrar and DNS)). This is mostly just my personal thought rather than an actual argument though.

---

I think 8chan is probably the seediest search-engine-indexed site on the web right now. Even members of 4chan's random board, popularized as the shithole of the 'net, disavowed the actions of the El Paso shooter. Cloudflare can choose to tolerate 8chan, and I find that decision to uphold free speech admirable, but 8chan is far worse than the Daily Stormer.

If you think minimizing your tax rate starts and ends with line items on the 1040, you are not minimizing your tax rate.

The point more about a shared vehicle being more wasteful than a privately owned one:

Bikesharing in China resulted in many times more bikes being produced than ones owned privately. Even insurance and license demanding schemes like LiuBike (they rent electric 50cc equivalents) ran into that, despite their vehicles not being as "disposable" as flopped Mobike.

The trouble with regular expressions is not their use, but the different "standards" (or lack thereof) and figuring out what the interpreter supports.
That's the formal definition, and an interesting corollary with interesting consequences (from a typing perspective, a function of any return type can always opt to halt instead of returning. note that in a lazily evaluated language like Haskell the caller can still continue, as long as it does not evaluate the result).

But I didn't go with that because it doesn't answer the question (is null the bottom type? no.), and in the context of return types (the main use case, though not the only) it's equivalent to what I said (no possible return value -> cannot return).

I think "extremely limited" is hyperbole. The major clouds can all provide every service that 95% of applications need. If you're building something with unique needs that only one cloud can handle, then go ahead and use the advanced feature. A little bit of lock-in here and there for edge cases seems preferable to having your entire multi-billion dollar system deeply coupled to a single company's cloud.

Yup I agree you need to cut people a lot of slack in interviews. Don't use the same rigor you'd expect from production code.

Definitely as an interviewer you shouldn't care about syntax or remembering proper libraries. Even better, give hints about libraries, and maybe be proactive about saying you don't care about syntax.

The coding under pressure line is bullshit, code under pressure ends up being bad code that makes things worse. Rollback under pressure sure. Look at monitoring graphs under pressure. Write new code? Helllll no.

A lot of interviewers have unrealistic expectations though, it sucks.
The source for the primary package is not published, afaik. The primary entrypoint function is implemented in cython, resisting casual analysis. The stated purpose is to pull (unversioned!) code from the internet and run it, but no mechanism to trust or verify that code is even mentioned.

DoD pays for top tier talent when it is a priority. Thousands work as contractors for JPL or the Battelle Institute.

The government is currently structure so that only cutting edge research is a priority, not the more humdrum stuff like day to day operations.
And incredibly useful. I don't know if that's just me and the things I do with a computer, but I feel like it's a knowledge I've used a million times in my life, both for my pet projects and my job as a law school TA. What baffles me is that it's a niche knowledge. Excel is insanely useful, but it's considered a basic knowledge, or at least everyone has heard of it. Not regex.
The GDPR isn't a bunch of rules, it's a process.

The GDPR is an EU regulation. An EU regulation is a bunch of rules that have direct legal effect across the Union.

No, you don't. That's covered by the rule "Compliance with a legal obligation" because you have to do it, but only store as much as you need.

That's a legal basis for processing, which you also have to disclose. It doesn't exempt you from disclosing other required information such as the types of personal data you're collecting or your policy on retention.
The confusion comes from the 'journal' aka topic on arXiv, which can have different settings for when an author can submit. Some are more stringent than others. It is not an arXiv wide issue.

I don’t think CloudFlare can be seen a legitimate company at this point. How can they allow these sites to use their services? It’s unbelievable.
Yes, two issues are a) knowing what to escape and b) what is supported or not. I was weirdly surprised to discover that there are some useful functionalities that are basically supported nowhere... except in vim. I think it was variable-length lookbehinds but don't quote me on this.

Certain species of plants are naturally mosquito repelling. I don't provide recommendations because they depend on your zone but it should be easy enough to find. They are not as effective as chemicals, but you just need to make your outdoor living spaces slightly less desirable for them for it to work.

I'm not sure about the co2 traps - you may just be attracting mosquitos from nearby, where only some of them go into the trap and the others find different targets.

The co2 system might work well if you can have it on your property but 50'+ away from where humans hang out.
> a dependency injection system is then necessary in order to have the correct concrete implementations set up at runtime.

Dependency injection can be as simple as:

class Printer:
def run(self):
print("hello world")

class Caller:
def __init__(self, printer_class=Printer):
self.printer = printer_class()

def doit(self):
self.printer.run()

In your tests all you have to do is pass a different object to your Caller class. No need to mess with factories, interfaces or Impl suffixes.

If the point is just having simpler testability and making dependencies more explicit, this gets the job done.

And since Python is a dynamic language, you can use this with stdlib classes too, so it solves your first complaint.

I've seen it a lot in Ruby and C# lately.
I'd also like to see a part 2 and perhaps a part 3. This is the clearest explanation of regex that I've seen - and I've seen quite a few!

You're not the only one to comment this, but from what I know per review is a long iterative process, wher reviewers raise objections and submitted respond with edits.

So, what you're suggesting seems a lot like shipping code before code review, and seems to have many of the same problems. What do you do in the long period before critical issues have been addressed? What do you do if the submitter just says "fuck you, my code works, I have more important things to do"?

And a comment - I liked the mention of mean vs minimum, though I would have liked the median to be included as well, and more info on when and why each may be more appropriate. Minimum is good when you want to answer "how much time is required to do just what is required for what this code is trying to accomplish". The minimum is the closest approximation you can get; the "true time required" can never be more than the minimum. Mean is good for something you'll be doing a lot of, and want to predict how much total time it'll take. Median gives you a realistic measure of how long a task will take; if you tell someone that phase X will take 3 seconds, and 3 is the median, then you'll be too high half the time and too low the other half, which is better than reporting the minimum which will be too low nearly 100% of the time. But then again, your article is more about eliminating noise when measuring the effects of changes, so minimum is probably generally the most reasonable thing to be looking at. (Though if it's a large phase with many constituent sources of variance, you have to be careful because your minimum will keep shrinking the more repetitions you do!)
A few years ago I decided to stop killing mosquitos. I still swat them, but my aim now is inflict PTSD on them so that they avoid environmental triggers that remind them of me, and all their offspring do the same. How can they learn if we kill them?

I can see even in larger python codebases some places where e.g. support for some s-exp minilanguage could be useful and implemented rather trivially via Hy, or also to embed some processing kernel which is well suited to being written in lispy semantics (e.g. symbolic programming, etc). Another use could be to define core primitives in python and glue them together using a heirarchy of configuration+Hy macros to generate specialized '__main__' programs for task-specific use cases.
It's possible to just leave it as carbon. The energy needed to convert methane to carbon + H2 is much less (per unit H2) than that needed to convert water to O2 + H2.
