Wait, what? Let's say you write code that you compile using MSVC or MinGW or whatever to an .exe file.

Surely there is no way this gets automatically sent to MS?

"A judge there dismissed the case, citing the 2014 Supreme Court ruling, since Nevada wage laws track their federal counterparts. The Cincinnati, Ohio-based 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2018 overturned that decision."

So, if the appeals court overturned the dismissal, wouldn't the appeal the Supreme Court denied be to uphold it, meaning that the case should be moving forward? Such a badly worded article.
Assuming you're not being sarcastic, there has always been a deep catalog of unpopular musicians with catchy hooks.

The reason they never became popular is because they weren't that good compared to their more popular compatriots.

You and the OP are conflating marketing driven Top 100 pop songs that no one will remember next year with the good pop songs that will stay catchy for decades.

Yes, blood shortages are a frequent occurrence, as it's dependent on the frequency and volume of volunteer donors.

If this is solution can be scaled up, you would negate the need for the entire blood donation and plasma collection (which is paid for, at least in the US) system overnight. It's a Big Deal.

Okay look, I get that it’s fun to be angry the high salaries of CEOs but it’s one of those things that just doesn’t matter and does nothing but distract from the actual problems. That 2.5 million dollars distributed to the 20k pensioners amounts to $125/person/year. If you distribute it to all $300k GE employees they get a $6/yr raise.
As a business, the whole enterprise are really masters at repackaging and reusing to the point where it becomes more than a bit annoying. Though I like them overall and mostly more so since Kimball departed.

With the amount of churn that there is in a lot of companies, it's unreasonable to expect anyone to do much of anything except bail water and try to keep things going within a handful of compass points of the correct direction.

My company is blessedly stable, but for instance at my wife's employer, there are teams that have had 300% turnover in the two years she has been there.

I think this kind of endless short-term firefighting is part and parcel with the micromanagement that daily standups embody. When nobody actually has any experience, or built any trust over time, the whip lays on heavier to keep people in line and pulling in the same direction.
I got the Xiaomi A2 64GB/4GB(non-lite) for 130€ when it was on sale, which is also part of the Android One program.

It's not a $17 smartphone as mentioned in the article, but I consider it a "cheap Android smartphone" (and an amazing value).

I think it will get Android 10 later this year.
Also documentation, when it exists (not all apps have or need it) tend to actually be useful instead of a half-assed, incomplete wiki.

(though some paid software in the recent years also have half-assed, incomplete wikis for documentation... my guess is that the proliferation of open source software made a lot of newer developers think that this is how software is supposed to be documented)

That's true, but I don't know if Slavs are comparable to Arabs. There are different Slavic ethnic groups with very distinct languages. Arabs are one ethnic group with one language, but part of the Semitic family.

I suppose the Sunni/Shia conflict has an ethnic component with the Persians mostly being Shiites, while most Arabs are Sunni.
The Social Consequences of Operational Efficiency

I don't believe it's quite possible to put numbers on the benefits of being part of a tribe that has your back, but I doubt any realistic amount of money can get you the kind of care that family (and friends) can.

Assuming a birth costs $5k to $10k, and the kid costs $20k per year for first 5 years for daycare, and then $3k per year, ballpark $200k, not adjusted for inflation, plus tons of time spent teaching and raising them, should buy you a relationship worth much more. But you also have to be surrounded by the right people and culture, so it's super complicated to calculate.

But most successful families I know are successful because they can rely on each other to help each other out, and there are exponential benefits to knowing someone who knows someone, so as their networks expand, so do yours.

Or not. I mean, it allows us to like basically anyone or anything as long as we put in the effort. It reminds me of this quote by Ghostcrawler (Greg Street): "Almost every time I have gotten to know a critic personally, they keep up with the criticism but lose the venom."

> I like every genre a lot short of hip-hop and opera

Actually, let me comment on these two genres.

Hip-hop is incredibly diverse. It does not have to be in English, or about violence. There is nerdcore, too, for example (my fav is Dual Core!), and all kind of hiphop/rap in different languages. (Personally, I like Spanish a lot, but as a Dutch person I am also fond of early Dutch "nederhop" such as Osdorp Posse.)

Opera, I thought I don't like either. Turns out the other evening, whilst I prefer female singing voice in general, that the opera (female singer) my partner was listening to hurt my ears very much. We then tried Luciano Pavarotti and a myriad of other opera, and I got no problem with these. I could enjoy them. But not the specific one she was playing. It felt like a saw (needle) through my ears.
A giant elevator could connect Earth to space using current technology
I really like perl. I started writing it in my university for sys/admin stuff and then went down the rabbit hole and investigated most of the nooks and crannies of the language. I like all the special symbols. I have no issue with reading code that I wrote five months previously. I like that it does not limit what I want to do programmatically.

In fact I recently snuck some perl code into production at my company a month or so ago: we needed an android app to post data to a backend where it could later be analyzed. Super simple. I wanted to get it out the door as fast as possible and due to the fact that it will be retired before the end of this year, I choose to write the backend in perl using MongoDB and Mojolicious. Then I saw that MongoDB is retiring their driver for perl[1]. I still went forward, but it was yet another reminder of the state the language is in.

It saddens me that perl does not get more love. It is a fantastic language but I can not justify teaching others it, or encouraging them to learn about it.

It's not so clever given changing implementation of video prefetch logic, and differing codec behaviour with 1 frame videos with hardware decoders.

I didn't know that the shelf life of blood is that short. Does this mean it is possible that some portion of blood collected from "blood donation programs" goes waste? Because, in our country (Nepal), dozens of such programs are conducted by the Red Cross all around the country.
The pension is separate to the company is it not, or is the US more lax.

In the UK pensions are independent of the company due mostly to some scandals in the past Robert Maxwell for example.
There are so many ways it can go wrong - and when it does, the results can be disastrous.

The article below mentions how poorly things can go, with private equity groups buying a company, things go poorly, it gets liquidated (pension gets dissolved), then the same private equity group buying it out of bankruptcy. Funny enough, with Marsh, the executive pension plan got a good payout relative to the thousands of store and warehouse employees.

The pension isn't free to offer. I'd much rather they increase my base pay or give a more generous 401k match.

I have a distant childhood memory of a book based on this concept, in which the protagonist is projected back in time through light beams bounced off of distant mirrors. I think I stopped reading because I could tell the science was completely impossible, and ultimately just an excuse to write an historical fiction book which I didn't feel like reading. Perhaps I judged it too harshly?
An “unlimited blood budget” might obviate hemodialysis in favour of just doing a “blood change”, which—depending on how you do it—may protect the liver and kidneys from things we can’t manage to pull out in a single hemodialysis pass.

It might also change the face of surgery. You know the phrase “he’s bleeding out!” Well, who cares? We have blood pressure to spare, now. We could go through a couple gallons during the surgery and it’d be fine. Just hook them up to the tank. Take your time clamping/microsuturing/cauterizing instead of rushing and making mistakes.

I think it may be easier for me to comprehend things that are hard to visualize. Higher math was a struggle for me at first, as I was not a natural reductionist, but once I had a really good calc prof, and after that it worked pretty well for me.

These days I can barely even do long division because I haven't had to use mathematical skills since I started working as a programmer, but when I was doing more advanced math, it seemed like it was less of a struggle for me than many of my classmates. That was especially true of formal proofs and linear algebra, I think.

The only software that will stop working (and in 10.14 too) is software that was only signed and not notarized after 1 June. If the software was signed before 1 June, it will continue to work.

Unsigned software will continue to work.
If I'm not mistaken, it sounds like this is to be used only in emergency situations almost as if it's some type of "filler" that can help keep your blood pressure up of you've lost an extreme amount of blood. It sounds like it may provide more benefits than that, but I say "filler" because it doesn't sound like you can replace all the blood in your body with this artificial blood.

> Trying to discard and ignore all the violent actions,

Aren't you intentionally turning a blind eye to the fact that the Chinese government has been conducting false flag operations where they plant heir operatives within crouds disguised as protesters to then vandalize and attack not only bystanders but also the police to justify drawing a violent reaction and smear the reputation of the pro-democracy protesters?

It seems odd that you are so against violence but somehow fail to mention the fact that the Chinese government is using violence to discredit pro-democracy protests.
Here's another thought. Could you use this to instead _attack_ someone from Microsoft's IP range?

Maybe not DDoS, but if the range is naively whitelisted, maybe something more precise due to the fact that the victim believes the environment to be isolated.

No, it’s based on cost divided by usage. It’s not like there is a ton of underutilization of the NYC Subway and per-person per-mile costs would go down with economies of scale. Rail is just really expensive.

Biking is cheap only if your time is worth nothing. It’s also untenable given the climate of most of the US (much wider temperature variation than in Europe where biking is more common), and the physical fitness of your average American.
Although it not "Guaranteed" you can rest assured when you buy a Prius for instance, the probability of you having a catastrophic failure or expensive repair before 200k miles is very low - and if it happens, is usually covered by Toyota themselves.
“Solving” Remote Work
I'm not sure what you're claiming. It's possible to design a very lucrative and costly defined benefit pension, but in the US, no employer is offering it other than governments, and even the governments are beginning to croak under the stress of unsustainable benefits, so new employees are not eligible for them.
Malware often checks to see if it has internet access and doesn't activate if it doesn't--to keep it from running in a test environment.
This is really important to me, because it's showing up all of the other automakers dragging their feet on making electric cars - giving this excuse and that excuse why it doesn't make sense or it can't be done. It's forcing them to acknowledge that electric is the future, and they're going to have to go electric to stay relevant. I think it's safe to say at this point that Musk has done his job, regardless of the future of Tesla.

It leaves you in a position to call out bullshit where you see it. Just say “no”.

Ignoring the trolling aspect for a minute. There is actually a real discussion to be had on how BSD (or any software) continues to be developed and maintained, with support for current hardware

It takes a lot of work to keep software going, both developers and time. Wondering where it comes from. If it's free it's not getting money from users to finance that; if the user base is dwindling it also means there are few developers or other-company employees to work on it.
Great job for Tesla! I was interested in an EV but ended up with a Volt myself - the expiring GM $7,500 plus huge discounts GM was having after announcing after shutting down Volt production let me get a $40k car for under $24k.

If I had to pay full MSRP I would have preferred a Tesla (or Bolt) and go full EV rather than PHEV! I do see more and more Telsas on the road, more than Priuses, Leafs, or any other EV/hybrid.
My simple advice: read the types of stories you like to tell. And practice writing them, following the composing process [1]

While I agree with you about the interior looking rather spartan and the superiority of physical dials and knobs, one nice thing about the Tesla touchscreen is that things are laid out in a somewhat intuitive feature.

I had the experience of sitting in a few other cars at the pricepoint (BMW 3 series, and a Mercedes C class), and the infotainment systems in there were way behind. Mercedes uses a touchpad along with a touchscreen for navigation, while the BMW uses a dial along with the touchscreen. I much preferred the Tesla touchscreen only to their weird physical/virtual button hybrid systems.
> Is it just the stock is considered by some people to be simply overpriced, or is Tesla the company in danger of going bankrupt?

Not immediate danger, but Tesla has never made a yearly profit in this entire decade. The two profitable quarters (Q3 2018 / Q4 2018) were completely wiped out by awful performance in Q1 2019.

If things keep going the way they're going, I'd estimate Tesla only has maybe till 2022 or 2023. That's enough time to turn the company around, but you can only lose billions-of-dollars / year for so long before the whole shebang collapses.

My 2022 estimate is based on two things:

1. December 2020 is SolarCity's last bond. Most likely, Musk will find a way to avoid paying for the bond IMO (probably rolling off SolarCity as a subsidiary or something), limiting the damage to Tesla.

2. March 2021 is the next major bond repayment, initially taken out for the Nevada Gigafactory. Musk is pretty good about raising money, but after shenanigans with Dec 2020, I'm not sure if the market will be so forgiving. Banks would rather him succeed however, so I expect a kind of "One last chance" here.

3. March 2022 is the next major bond repayment.

4. If Tesla survives past 2022, they have over a full year before 2024 and 2025 bond repayments kick in again.

Tesla's next major tests are about whether or not they can pay back the 2021 / 2022 bonds. Well, not necessarily "pay back", but they should be making a profit and not just "borrowing more money to pay off older bonds". If the market realizes that Tesla is exponentially losing money here, they'll be in a bad spot.

That gives all of 2020 for Tesla to turn around. The Model 3 has proven unprofitable in the USA, the only hope is Chinese sales through the $5 Billion Gigafactory 3. Not exactly a bet I want to take (if the technology is unprofitable in the USA, why would it be more profitable if you made a similar factory in China?? Musk should have focused on profitability in Nevada before expanding...
We are so F*ed.
On page#2 under "Preparation of HbVs and H12-(ADP)-liposomes" am I reading it correctly that this "artificial" blood is still derived from blood?
That's just a statistics artifact. None of the 25 countries with the most illiteracy ratio speaks Spanish. Anyway, why are you mentioning it? It's unrelated with the article or the thread.
I would love for this to happen. But I see a couple blockers.

1) It is some sort of badge of honor to get a "job with benefits".

2) What if more people decide to not get healthcare? If your job gives it to you and you "only" have to pay a few hundred a month for your family, you are more likely to get it than if you payed everything out of pocket each month (even if your compensation increased). People would see all the extra money and just not get healthcare. If enough people did this, healthcare would be too expensive for the rest of us.

3) People are just reluctant to big change. And this is a big change. There would be politicians on the news claiming someone was "taking away your benefits".
It seems eminently reasonable and obvious that workers should be compensated for performing the Duties of their job while at work or in premises. Clearly submitting to a security check before being allowed to leave work is an obligation they incur as an employee.

They should not be able to “clock out” until after such security checks.
