I doubt it. Everyone knows that this shit is dangerous. It's not a question of if something bad will happen, it's a question of how often. There's some pretty gnarly diminishing returns on proofing these beasts, but SpaceX has a huge advantage over the boosters that NASA used- they're reusable so getting a few extra 9's of safety is not necessarily a waste.

Of course, the non-reusable boosters had an advantage too where they were only subjected to the insane stress of a launch once, but I'm guessing that's a smaller advantage than what I said above or else we wouldn't have modern airlines.
I continued cycling with a young child, though less often and usually only solo trips. Bicycle trailers can help but it's still more work than putting the kids in a car, and with kids there is already less time for everything to be done.

See, this looks very logical, and a "command based UI" is great.

But the diagram is missing _all_ the complex steps, that makes this type of system a lot of work to build and maintain. You need to be able to cancel. You need to be able to extend bookings, or change the room type. Sometimes, this will incur a fee, and sometimes not.

In my experience (not from hotel systems), the operators _will need_ a way to actually edit the full state of the bookings. A registration form and a read-only 'booking view' will not cut it.

I think it's a good idea to keep the "command-based UI" going for external/end-users though.
How SoftBank and WeWork Played Silicon Valley and Wall Street
Honestly, I expected the article to be hot trash -- considering how I saw the implementation at our shop. I've changed my mind. We just go about it wrong. What went right, what went wrong, where did we get lucky... If we answered those questions rather than dodge responsibility... this could be useful.
This post has become far too popular for something that isn't really true. Similar to news about Xbox needing to be connected to the internet.

1. Windows 10 always prioritized account creation with an online account simply because it was more feature rich.

2. Windows 10 always had an option (dark) to create account connected with no online account. It was hidden. And discouraged.

3. Windows 10 still offers offline account creation through user control panel within an existing account.

4. Imagine being able to go to any computer and logging in with your account that is based in some other machine.

5. Imagine going to a computer without your account that also prevents others from logging in because it is password protected. And being able to log in anyway through your online account.

Stop freaking out. This expands options nicely.

Edit: it would be nice to be told why the disagreement.
The trope is backwards. If a business doesn't charge they have no choice but to make the user the product. If the user pays they have the option.

Go to Switzerland if you can. I have no clue about taxes in Canada, but in Germany it’s not fun. As a single person household you will be heavily taxed. Be ready to give a ~half away for the state. Saving for retirement will be also taxed heavily. Or at least I wasn’t able to find good investment vehicle to save taxes. Unemployed wife plus kids could help here. Public health insurance is ok. Glases, dental problems and modern procedures you must pay by yourself. It’s not expensive: minor surgery costs 300-500€. Berlin has skyrocketing housing cost (as probably all big cities nowadays). I would not go the former Eastern Germany as a foreigner. Colleague from Philippines told lots of stories about ugly situations in Dresden. I also wouldn’t accept offer under €70k in Berlin. Of course, it’s doable with €45k, but I am not sure if it’s worth all migration effort. Fresh graduates start with €55k nowadays. In southern Germany even more. But be aware, Germany’s economy is slowing down, hiring process might take longer than couple years ago.
The first version of Polychord for iPad had a fully-functioning FM synth under the hood, but I ended up disabling it because it didn’t fit with the simplicity of the product. Even providing a nice set of presets to choose from was turning into a time-suck — it really is an art.
I think that was sarcasm...

I think because looking up in a hash map is going to be bad for performance. You want it in an object so you can use fixed offsets. And using individual hash maps for each object is wasteful if they all have the same layout.
I see the potential for a future (and the tech is getting there, with Stadia, etc) where OEMs only sell to cloud operators and instead the consumer is sold essentially a graphics card and network card as a streambox. At that point, we can say goodbye to open source ideals, when [[Cloud Provider]] can charge for installing whatever software they want and keep it locked down otherwise.
Yes, success on your level, without college, is possible. However, your experience is very much an outlier. Someone that is internally motivated, has goals & direction (even if they change) will often find a way to a professional career. That is not the situation for a vast majority of students though. I think if someone gets to college and says, "I know what I want to do, and it doesn't require this", then there's no issue with getting out of there. Heck, you could always go back. Most students I see leaving college though have no direction and immediately enter low paying jobs with few better prospects on the horizon.

On the other hand, colleges do need to really rethink their education model. I fully believe in the value of a core or liberal arts education, it provided useful analytical & communication skills, but there needs to be a significant pivot towards more concrete marketable skills. At the community college level, there is an excellent degree type for this: The Associates of Applied Science, or AAS. It has some, but reduced humanities requirements and focuses much more on career skills of the chosen area, all of which have specific, immediately accessible job opportunities. The really unfortunate part of this degree, however, is that is very hard to build upon later at a 4 year school to finish a bachelors if you so choose: the credits either don't transfer or transfer as electives, not requirements towards a degree. Again, a major pivot is needed for traditional 4 year schools.
Think of it this way: Blameless means looking for solutions (which involves identifying root causes), not scapegoats.

Security through obscurity is not effective in the sense that dedicated attackers, or those with large amounts of resources can _eventually_ crack the code. It gets such bad attention because people NOT in the security field (or aware of security methods) tend to view it as a good line of defense.

I've seen implementations where the obscurity was client-side JavaScript that modified the POST. The coder thought this would protect the server from malicious payloads.... Unfortunately the obscurity is lost when you provide all visitors with the function to do the obfuscation.
Yeah it's 3D-stacked. 4 layers for HBM, 4 for HBM and 12 for HBM2E.

It's neat but really expensive, and I don't think the gains for RAM in that sort of designs are that big compared to computing cores outside of edge cases.

>The comparison numbers that Tesla parrots are between Teslas with modern safety features and in good weather conditions, and the entire rest of road fatalities, including motorcycles. Comparing similarly bodied cars in similar weather conditions, Tesla's self driving has more reported collisions per miles driven.

I'm interested in learning more about this, because I'd originally taken Tesla's figures at face value. Are there any sources you'd recommend?
A quantum computer can find hash collisions in the square root of the time a classical computer can using Grover's algorithm. (So a 256-bit hash becomes as difficult as a 128-bit hash to reverse). Symmetric encryption (e.g. AES) is the same, so encryption itself doesn't have any problems with quantum computing (if you consider 128-bit AES to be safe in general).

Quantum computing affects the distribution of symmetric keys using public key encryption (and so affects a large amount of encryption as used in people's daily lives) which is vulnerable to quantum computers with sufficient bits.
Tangential, but somewhat related: At the community college level, there is an excellent degree type that still allows for a small liberal arts core, but focuses much more on marketable skills: The Associates of Applied Science, or AAS.

> I don't think money is the issue

Interesting reading the Wikipedia entry regarding SpaceX's funding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX#Ownership,_funding_and_...

Seems to be a lot of capital 'raised' which I usually read as money out of thin air, or money otherwise provided because of a certain hype attached to the company.
I support this idea. I've been based in Toronto and Montréal and the cost of living in the latter is usually a factor of two less expensive. As k3fernan mentioned, the software buzz in the area focuses around gaming, AI, and research, but there are still lots of general jobs (mindGeek is a big presence). Be aware of a necessity to learn/know french with certain roles, but usually anglophones get by just fine.
And then put your email in their marketing database which no doubts gets shared with creepy entities that stalk people. No thanks.

I once gave my email to a store in the UK when they offered an email receipt (I suspected something bad would happen but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt). Of course, a few weeks later I received some BS from a third-party company asking for "feedback", so there's at least one extra third-party that now has my email without me authorising that.
The car should stop itself for safety, but may not have the awareness to do this successfully. Bicyclists are explicitly listed in the warning about paying attention to the surroundings of your car while it is being summoned.
> The dirty secret with things like solar and wind is that in order for them to work reliably they need to have large number of natural gas generators. Because of this and other issues they really pose little threat to total fossil fuel consumption

Of course they do. Because storage is not solved. That's why I said they are not a replacement without storage (among other reasons)

As for the economical cases, nuclear is competitive in the long term if we do not require stupid high rentability. Given wealth is extremely strongly correlated to energy consumption, and we will have to get rid of fossil (even if we don't want, we will be forced to), the economy will restructure anyway, and we will be forced to do rational things rather than wishful thinking economy based on ridiculous hypotheses (eternal exp. growth)

So in the long term, the governments will not really be able to allow or disallow things by incentives, if the world simply does not have any other solutions. That's not even what all the governments are doing today. China is building some nuclear power plants.

The Underappreciation of Rest in Today’s Society
The carelessness and dangerous way this entire thing has been "rolled out" is alarming.

People are touting this as some sort of "amazing" feature, I think this guy Elon Musk is a crazy whackjob who puts people's lives at risk.

All the videos I saw from Tesla were " ideal well-lit" situations; well of course! University graduate students have Legos and basic robotics that do that crap. Getting it to work in "normal" (read "edge-cases) is the most difficult part. And they conveniently just ignored that part.

It's insane people are putting these death machines on public roads.

Before people claim "this is just a parking lot", imagine how many parents use their stroll-cartd with babies in them or how many kids run around in parking lots.
The highly skilled visa is good for a fast track to perminent residency. A regular work visa is easy to get provided you have a university degree and a job offer.

Still I would not recommend coming to Japan unless it was a life goal. This is not an easy country to live in or build wealth in. Both the language and career will be playing life on hard mode. I love it here, but it was a life goal I was willing to trade for.

These squares don't describe each other because you need external information, namely of the English language.

It's like saying that 56 describes a house. Yes, page 56 of some architecture book might show a house. But saying that 56 describes that house is just wrong.

That doesn't stop Tesla from driving into live traffic and stopping there. Look at the videos.

I'm in the min range of the offers you'd accept for Berlin, no wife/kids - 50% tax is not the greatest, but it's easy to live on the other half plus save. I'm not the most savvy/concerned about investing and/or avoiding tax, but I put a good amount of money aside for savings.

Depending on what you're getting away from, Berlin is definitely worth it. A few things are hard, but all-in-all it's a great place to live. Germany still wants tech workers, look in to the Blue Card - they make your process/life so much easier if you qualify.

Some of the social system is fantastic (sick leave, parental leave, etc)

I'm happy to pay my 50%.

edit: to say that at this salary bracket, looking around, I'm very privileged. It's ridiculous that that'd be a minimum for anyone.
>tech companies in Canada pay peanuts

This is because:

- Canadians are happy to accept whatever wages they are given (the "smart" Canadians move to the US to get higher salaries)

- immigrants to Canada are happy to accept whatever wages they are given

With those two factors, you're not going to make a lot of money in Toronto unless you're working a US company (Google, Amazon, and so on) and even then it'll be less than US counter-parts.

Berlin is a better choice because you can easily travel around Europe and there are more markets. It's also a faster flight back to India if you're visiting family.

>However, once a Canadian citizen, there is a possiblity to get transferred to a Silicon Valley arm of a US company from Canada (using the TN visa) and hence receive a higher compensation.

This is what I'm talking about. The employer will dangle this prize in front of you for as long as they can and will continue to hold off on promotions and keep your salary the same for as long as possible. This is why Canadian salaries remain low, because there will be another sucker that comes along and will also be offered the same "we'll give you a promotion in a few years!" or "we'll transfer you to the US soon! very very soon!" line and they'll accept it.

>How would you compare between the two countries for building a career in tech for an immigrant?

Is immigration required? Because if not, all you need is a good internet connection, a good computer, and knowledge lots and lots of knowledge to distinguish your skills from others and get the higher freelancing rates.
I'd also encourage you to consider Stockholm. The market is smaller than Berlin, and the CoL is higher, but the tech scene is extremely vibrant and lots of Swedish tech companies have good connections to the US. Also, you don't really need to learn Swedish as everyone speaks very good English.
First of all, I would have had no idea that's what "domain join" meant. But second, I love how the option is down there with "terms of use" and other things you're very unlikely to ever read or look at. And third, it's cute how even if you somehow find your way to this option, they have the "but even better, use the online account!" Oh my god.
The fuel requirements for this would be absurdly high. Note that even supersonic travel died out, largely because the economics didn’t work.

As much I'm hoping there'll be a breakthrough in AGI, maybe the right approach is the one AlphaGo was using: DL not as the top level decision-making, but plugged into a traditional decision-making algorithm in specific places.
It would, if people were rational and could do basic math. So you are of course right, but not because coal is saver, its demonstrably not, its because nuclear fear is a cultural affliction ingrained in the psyche of modern civilisation, and its going to cost us our future.

We can be carbon negative in a decade and multi-digit negative in two, allowing us to sequester carbon released from humanities previous carbon age. All using well understood save nuclear energy. Modern breeder reactors will take nuclear energy from being orders of magnitude safer than coal, to even safer levels. And we can do this today, with boring old fission.
this is fantastic, it could be a parody of olden times technology but it’s real!
Also check out Ottawa. Tech scene there is pretty hot both in Kanata (suburb) and downtown... although you might find it a bit "sleepy".
I researched Switzerland a bit and it seems your comment about taxes is valid if you assume that you live a low tax canton like Schwyz or Zug (from where you can commute 30-60 minutes to work in Zuerich). Taxes in Geneva look pretty high to me.
Models shows precisely the inverse at least in Europe (there is mostly no independent abundance of wind/solar, at least way not enough)

It even shows today with even quite small capacity disturbing market prices. That's why even "low" production costs can make wind not profitable; you end up selling your production with very low prices (because there is some overproduction), in some cases even negatives. You would not have that problem with storage. But then the production costs of wind+storage are already high...
> The central position taken by the authors comes from MacKinnon's Marxist Theory of the State which argues that such change cannot happen within the state as it exists, with all the relations which have constructed it

I've read many fallacious arguments with a veneer of plausibility, but in the end, speculation must explain the facts. The fact is that sporadic revolution followed by iterative refinement only is the only approach that has enjoyed any reliable measure of success in any sphere of human knowledge. The law is not exempt from this.

> Critical legal theory takes the metalegal position that this gradual evolution is impossible given the totality of relations which determine the law.

The clear evidence of social and cultural progress must be remarkably inconvenient for critical legal theory.

> That is to say, the law is a reflection of the society it rules over, its relations of power, of property, of information, knowledge and other things.

And the law only has power in so far as the governed consent to be ruled by it. If you attempt to change it too quickly, you will instead induce bloody conflict. Social and cultural inertia exist.

> Nevertheless, it circles back to the main point: there are different standards for the law governing society and the law governing a university.

I'm sure there are. I still don't see the justification for it, but thanks for the attempt.
Sensor technology has sucked right from the start.
Without having read the book, I don't think they are discounting the first. Only that what you call are second order effects are actually much very important in the long run.

This becomes much clearer when you do a cross-cultural study of these effects. There are many poor countries, where the average person is roughly as mathematically/scientifically literate as a person in the richest countries in the world, but the philosophical/cultural/socio-political parts of those countries are much divorced from scientific truth.
In the U.S. it's also quite hard to get permission to develop those reactors.

Several years ago I got to sit in a meeting between reps from a dozen advanced reactor companies, and a former head of the NRC. The reactor people said their biggest problem was that the NRC required several hundred million dollars worth of design work before even taking a look. Then they gave a flat yes or no. If yes then you still only had a paper reactor, and if no then you were out of business.

That's a difficult sell to investors. They said just a more phased process would help a lot. The NRC person was unsympathetic, said it wasn't the NRC's job to help develop nuclear technology, and was uninterested in climate change.
Price segmentation for pharmacies I believe.
You missed magic mushrooms
At my job we have what I'll call an approximation of one of these command based APIs, looks like a classic RPC API. We also have a set of internal user procedures that are basically those escape hatches you mentioned. They are the source of almost every odd and problematic behavior we encounter in our normal API.

I believe presenting slightly more open commands for internal use is the right idea, but sliding all the way to an arbitrary entity edit API is a quick way to break state expectations.

Yes this could also be solved by having perfectly crafted constraints in the business logic and/or DB, but what's more manageable? Managing a few extra specific APIs, or having every expectation perfectly defensively coded?
