"I guess to me, it seems strange for someone, especially in tech in the Bay Area, to want to be a founder but have nobody in their personal network that they would like to work with also interested in being a founder who reciprocated that feeling."

I think it depends a lot on how you got your experience in tech. If you got your stripes via a CS degree and several years at an established company or two in a tech hotspot, then yes it's perhaps kind of strange if through all of that you never developed a network with any potential co-founders in it. Developing a network is one of the primary benefits of taking this path.

But if instead you were self-taught and became an expert through contracting and/or doing your own projects, you could easily not have a network with many potential co-founders in it despite being great at what you do. This can also be the case in spite of having an otherwise strong personal network--you might know tons of interesting and accomplished people who have absolutely zero interest in startups.
I would rather shorten the standard tags around it than have to shorten the 80 char short commit message. Typically tooling allows you to add your own tags (e.g. imp: for improvement) so you could add feature, but I find myself needing those extra few characters more often than not
Huh? Unity integrates seamlessly into webpages just as well any other WASM target does.
I agree. Trump could order the Department of Education to basically defund Harvard.. He basically is on the plaintiff's side here from what I recall. Now that would be interesting!!!
> the independent judiciary which the CCP is trying the dismantle now with the extradition bill

That narrative is never supported by the facts, and the extradition treaty has been withdrawn. You keep saying it does not make it true.

> the British also made large scale election reforms

After the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration. It's like agreeing to sell your company, then doubling the salary of every employee before handing over the company to the new owner. It's reckless, irresponsible, but sadly, very effective. Like I said, a ploy you'd willing fall for, even though you know it's a ploy.

> We've waited quite a while now in Sweden for the release of our countryman, the CCP can lend some faith to their insistince that they support "one country, two systems" by releasing him.

While I agree the CCP crossed the line in the case of Mr. Gui, and I sincerely hope for his release as much as you do, it by no means indicate the unraveling of one country, two systems. Just like the exile of Edward Snowden by no means indicate the unraveling of freedom of speech in the US.
> Asians adolescent academic performance is a worse predictor of this than for Europeans.

Why do you think this is the case?
Why don’t they put the additional information in the body of the commit?

I see this in nearly every company I go to - everyone rushing to skip over adding anything useful to the permanent log by using git commit -m rather than a plain got commit.
KCache is an in-memory Java cache where all writes are sent to a Kafka topic and then applied locally by any instances listening to that topic, providing an eventually-consistent cache. Great for scaling a small dataset that can fit on a single-node with easy replication and a full log of all updates in the Kafka topic.

KarelDB adds relational querying, schema/table management, transactions, and a SQL interface on top of KCache by using various Apache open-source projects (Calcite, Omid, Avatica, Avro). Here's a blog post from the author that has more details: https://yokota.blog/2019/09/23/building-a-relational-databas...

A typical database (like Postgres) or cache (like Redis) has a WAL where all writes are applied and this log is also used for replicas. KCache and KarelDB are interesting experiments in doing this from scratch using open-source components, although using Kafka as a durable log of system-agnostic changes is already very common. In fact, it's probably the most used feature of Kafka Connect with various database connectors and changefeed streams.
They're not moving anybody to Google's own DNS servers. If your current DNS provider offers encrypted service, they'll begin using that.

Starting with version 78, Chrome will begin experimenting with the new DoH feature. Under the experiment, Chrome will "check if the user's current DNS provider is among a list of DoH-compatible providers, and upgrade to the equivalent DoH service from the same provider," Google wrote. "If the DNS provider isn't in the list, Chrome will continue to operate as it does today."
It's because you have your zone player(s) set to automatically update. I've ignored updates for months on end and never had the first trouble with doing so.

ISPs are de facto more opaque than Google, and I'm not sure having a thousand of them is better than having only one.

A single company is easily legislatable, auditable, fineable, and chargeable if offenses are found. A thousand individual bad actors? The odds decrease.

I'm not interested in "pwning" anyone. But if someone says "this guy needs to be fired/resign" (which actually, in the rms case I kinda agree with), then they need to be able to articulate things in a manner that's not just "you're not from [some group] so you don't get it".

Ah yeah, I didn't think about vesting schedules. I was under the impression that at least some decent portion of it would vest after a year, but I don't really know. My experience is mostly with financial firms who would simply pay a cash bonus at the end of every year. Far preferable IMO :)
This is the poll I’m worried about:

(a) is capitalism a tool that has lifted tens of millions of people in the developing world out of poverty, or a tool for perpetuating racism, and colonialism, and environmental degradation?

(b) do you know that big-S socialists, including one of the architects of the Green New Deal, have latched onto climate justice as a tool for advancing socialism and attacking the liberal capitalist consensus: https://jacobinmag.com/series/green-new-deal; https://newconsensus.com ?

(c) in light of (a), what political compromises would you make with the people in (b) to address climate change?

> Its distributed nature means there are technical performance advantages to doing the above: reduced request latency, localized traffic routing and reduced bandwidth, etc. You don’t need a giant any cast network to serve DNS. You just need to use the servers closest to you.

My issue with this is that I've never been with an ISP that had a faster response time than Cloudflare/Google - and one would think they should, after all, my ISP should be able to reach me as quickly (or quicker) than any other corporation.

My current ISP has the fastest DNS benchmarks I've seen, and they're at 81ms for an uncached response, vs Cloudflare's 63ms and Google's 69ms. Cached response is similar (since I have a local cache).

In addition, my ISP does not provide DoH/DNSCrypt/DNSSec. None. Just 'vanilla' DNS. Furthermore, they also don't provide an unaltered DNS service: they block some websites from resolving, the list isn't made available, and is decided via extrajudicial means. You cannot opt-out, and all ISPs in the country adhere to this. They're not forced by law to do so. I'm also not in a normally thought of as a repressive country: it's a member state of the European Union, after all.

There are very good reasons for people to be outright hostile to ISPs and their shady underhanded practices, as you're seeing in this discussion. I feel that it is in any mostly online-based organisation's best interests to expose those practices.
It's exciting in the sense that you can apply all these open-source projects to create a very slick lightweight relational database that can replicate changes globally across unlimited instances by using a Kafka topic as the WAL log.

Don't actually use this in production. Use a real database that does what you want, and use the native replication features. If you need to replicate to heterogenous or alternative sources or just want a stream of all changes then you can use Kafka with any number of existing database connectors that automatically read and export changes.

I believe in human empathy so much that I think I'm capable of understanding a persons struggle even if I haven't directly been through what they've been through. Indeed I think almost all of us are capable of this, even if we don't practice it. I think the argument that you can only talk about things you have personal experience in is essentially a pessimistic view about human empathy.

Old people with enough money can do that. You have clearly never experienced poverty.
The editorial selection of what to run, how long to cover it, and what the headline reads influences far more than anything else.

Which is why drudgereport is often the top of the list of sites D's want to regulate, even though Drudge rarely prints any original content.

And he links to way more left-leaning stories than you would expect, but grabs a buried right-leaning fact to re-title the link. Suddenly you're reading the story with the opposite expectation of what the reporter/editor often intended.

Equally effective is grabbing an over the top, inflammatory left-leaning fact (or quote or claim) to prime the reader with anger.

Both are extremely persuasive, without needing to change so much as a word of the linked text.

Edit: And of course the feed on fbook accomplishes much of the same for the opposing view, with slightly tweaked tactics, but the same overall strategy.
Because clearly Asians are at fault.
Data sheet culture at these old-line semiconductor companies - ADI, TI, Linear - descends from the fact that you used to hold it in your hand and read it on paper. When I was in that field we went to the company library to read datasheets because ISO9001 required the company librarians to record which revision of which part an engineer read at what date and time. And it was partly sales literature because you'd be flipping through a bound volume of ADI's current parts looking for something suitable.

They do use that information, it's not necessarilly sketchy. They run analytics just like everyone else. In fact, one could argue Google's huge push for https was primarily motivated to deprive service providers of valuable data that Google has anyway.

I am a PhD student in computer science at Princeton University. My current research explores the privacy of consumer genetic genealogy companies. You can read a preprint of my current research here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/531269v1

My work requires combination of engineering and simple (naive bayes) machine learning. For the paper above, I simulate populations with hundreds of thousands of individuals using Rust, and then analyze the simulated data and population using Python, with key functions optimized by Cython. The project required me to have a breadth of skill, from understanding bayes classification to CPU cache locality.

I am looking for either data science roles, engineering roles, or ideally roles that combine both. Having a research component is a plus! I will be available starting near the end of Februray, or the begining of March.
Going on kind of a tangent here, but a thought has been creeping up on me that I can't wait to talk about:

I'm a major Apple fan, with several Apple devices that I use all the time, and while they have a strong pro-privacy stance for now (though we only have their word), Apple's ability to spy on me, should they ever want to, probably goes far beyond any other company.

Besides the usual "boring" methods like keylogging and microphone eavesdropping, which any company can do to the users of their OSes if they wanted to, the iPhone sees my face a hundred times a day, the Mac has my fingerprints, and the Watch knows how I'm moving and feeling (sitting, walking, excited, lethargic), and they can use that to infer what I'm doing or even about to do...

Has anyone thoroughly monitored and logged what these devices are sending out?
