I have a G Suite Non-Profit account and while it says the "my drive" had 30 GB of storage, the non-profit license also grants us "shared drives" which grant unlimited storage but only in those shared drives.

It seems to me that Uber's endgame goal is to replace drivers with a reliable, matured self-driving technology. If and when that happens, they can purge their massive fleet of drivers thereby eliminating their largest overhead cost.
It’s pretty much guaranteed that the next generation will grow up with the experience of always watched. Either they get watched by the parents who never let them do anything alone or by technology. Pretty sad in my view but almost inevitable.
Several of the books mentioned here are actually a lot more fun to read than the really excellent Effective C++ ... books by Scott Meyers that you mentioned reading.

This isn't a criticism of Effective C++, just the opposite. Better than anyone, Scott Meyers makes many of the very technical intricacies of C++ understandable and I think every professional C++ programmer could benefit from understanding the issues he explains. Nevertheless, I find the book more of a chore to get through than most of the books mentioned here.

You might find a random CS subject really interesting and get motivated to read up on it. I done this over and over.

Personal projects are a good way to get interested. In the past personal projects have caused me to do independent study of cryptography, hash tables, compilers, operating systems, machine learning, AI, etc. I've never been interested in game development or GUI programming, but recently I decided I would write a simple chess playing program just for fun. I'm currently stuck building the GUI for it, but it's caused me to study game engines and GUI frameworks.

>I’m confused when people in my generational cohort say [...]

Talk to them, and you'll realize they don't know what the fuck they mean either.

To generalize from my conversations, by "capitailism" they mean some amalgamation of: the fact they're poor, market forces in general, Government policy not providing certain goods/services, financial markets, non-post-scarcity, and snidely whiplash mustache twirling villains lurking in the wings.

But they also mean any aspect of society they don't like and can find a specious connection to market forces. Even if it's something that's just as possible under a communist/socialist government. It just wouldn't exist in their vision of Fully Automated Luxury Space Communism.

> Impersonation is an issue, but the article stated the CA keys have already been rotated and are out of date.

They were not rotated back then in 2018, so we can only guess if MITM had place. Their line of defence appealing to keys which are NOW outdated is just ridiculous.

> Read up on "Perfect forward secrecy": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_secrecy

> The sessions can not be decrypted even if the master key is leaked.

It's not true. PFS provides cryptographic isolation between long-term keys and session key used to encrypt data. Obviously, if MSK compromised it is irrevelant, how it was inferred: with PFS or not.

Some questions and answers I had as a Bitwarden user:

- It is not possible to import passwords from other password managers, but there are hacks [4]

- It's not yet possible to export passwords.

- For those wondering about 2-FA support, it's in the account optional settings[0]. (only support Authenticator apps so far)

- Disconnecting Firefox Lockwise from Firefox account doesn't mean that you can use Lockwise without it [1].

- Lockwise support master-masswords, just like other password managers, you can set it in the browser settings [2]

- Lockwise don't support secure notes or attachments yet.

I actually like `method::<Type>()`, but I did not used to like it when I started learning Rust.

Nowadays every time I have to go back to C++ and read `method<Type>()` I need to parse whether this is `(method < Type) > ())` or something else. Luckily for me, C++ introduced the `method.template <Type>()` syntax... but over that I prefer `::<Type>`.

I also prefer ::<Type> over Scala and D's syntaxes for some reason. I find Scala syntax for this more complex, and I find D syntax too simple.
> Do you think optimism and hope should be outlawed?

Irrelevant. But do I think selling (nothing but) hope and optimism should be outlawed? Hell, yes!

For anything else, you couldn't get away with this argument. You can't sell a brick as a loaf of bread, knowing that it isn't nutritious, then claim that what you really sold was "hope and optimism" for nutrition. It's fraud, no matter what you call it.

> If a placebo "works" for some people - doesn't harm them, is relatively inexpensive

Yeah, "if". But it doesn't, it does, and it isn't. Placebo treatment is fraud, plain and simple.
This isn't about coercion, which Haskell doesn't have. These error messages arise because of Haskell's choice that numeric literals should be polymorphic values with a typeclass constraint, meaning I can make those literals evaluate to my own types by defining a few instances. The resultant headaches with error messages are just the usual ones you get when you combine this amount of ad-hoc polymorphism with global type inference.

For teaching beginners, I very much question the amount of polymorphism in Haskell, and one floated idea has been to use a custom Prelude with much less of it for teaching purposes. Alternatively, I would probably just tell students to read an error like that as "you did something wrong." I would say the same for any student faced with a Java stack-trace showing how their null value threw an exception deep inside library code.
This is a great one, AAA game install sizes have been ballooning while storage space has plateaued and network speeds and connectivity are getting better.

Maybe develop some split model, where assets are streamed over the network but gameplay and rendering are local?

Or do most things on the server, but stream a spherical color and depth map, so the client can handle rotating the camera with zero lag, and then you can perform some compensation if the camera translates (similar to how Oculus does motion compensation)?
Yes, and I only felt slightly guilty while skimming it! (a.k.a. looking for the point)

That anything was stolen is a new accusation. The accusations against Obbink previously have all been impropriety-related, related to dealing with the Hobby Lobby people at all.

It's rather surprising (perhaps "fantastical" ?) that all of the rumors turned up such a smoking gun after all these years. This is a case where the 80%/20% rule didn't apply, and the real answer turned out to be 150%.

> I get annoyed when my C builds take more than a few seconds and a major reason i avoid C++ for my own stuff (C++'s complexity is another reason) and i hear that Rust has worse compile times than C++. This is enough for me to stay away from it.

One of the main reason we stopped using C++ is because Rust compiles much faster than clang. That was 3 years ago, and in this time frame Rust has improved compile-times significantly (e.g. reductions of ~30% per year).
>As a former soviet occupied country citizen, I am amazed that westerners would want to overthrow capitalism. Its what makes the west so prosperous.

It's paradoxical, but the West is falling victim to its own economical success. Inequality is a sign of effective competition and selection mechanism (no matter how moral or amoral it is) where the best (and sometimes the luckiest) gain an edge on others. Natural selection and meritocracy in any free society eventually lead to hierarchy and to inequality. However inequality leads to social unrest. That's why many governments suppress inequality to some extent with taxes, some rich people do charity for the same reason. Suppressing inequality slows down technical progress and development (because it reduces incentive), therefore extremely socialist countries eventually fail (USSR, Venezuela).

The problem with the West is not inequality per se. The American dream (work hard, get rich) was long time a painkiller to inequality because it gave a hope that you can change things. The problem with the West now is that people lost that hope. They don't believe they can change things no matter how hard they try. The American dream doesn't drive anymore (although it's still driving many immigrants). And when the anesthetic effect of the American dream has gone, people saw the inequality as it is, despite it has always been here.
It's way off 'never off', I work with colleagues who use it en <> de.

For example it will always translate 'order' in a sentence as 'Befehl' (I order you to fix a steak) instead of 'Bestellung' (I order a steak).

Both are correct, but completely different, and in our context we never mean the former.

I don't know. I recently took a Rust course and our day three project was to build a simple multi-threaded webserver. The really easy kind in C where you accept a connection and then spawn a thread to handle the request so the main thread can get back to accepting new connections ASAP.

This turned out to be quite challenging in Rust, even when starting from a working single threaded server. Threading the needle on borrows was quite a challenge.

It's probably not super common, I just like to use it to describe economic upheaval and opportunity.

So there's this giant catfish in Japanese mythology, the Namazu. It's captive in the ocean, under a giant keystone held down by the daimyojin Kashima. When Kashima gets tired or distracted, he lets off pressure a little, the Namazu wriggles around to get free and that wriggling sets off earthquakes and subsequently, tsunamis.

After an earthquake, there's always a rebuilding and a redistribution of wealth. And after the Edo earthquake of 1855, woodcut prints depicting the namazu and society (namazu-e), money falling from the sky, businessmen vomiting and defecating money, etc. got super popular.

Climate change will create the first trillionaire.

Instead of water line pipes, pull water out of the air. Instead of copper and fiber optic cables on telephone poles, use solar and satellites. Instead of refrigerated transportation, grow food in your pocket or your stomach. Instead of roads, take to the air.

We won't fix the climate out of kindness. Warren Buffet invested $$ Billions into wind farms because it makes his wallet feel better. Tim Cook just yesterday gave a speech that Apple said "We don't see climate change as risk, but opportunity", that's straight from the world's first trillion dollar company. [1] Elon Musk announced that SpaceX Starship will be pulling its fuel out of atmospheric carbon dioxide on Earth, and on Mars [2]

We'll need to completely reinvent society. Sustainable transportation, vertical agriculture, solar/wind/nuclear energy, air mining, an all-electric economy.

>He's lost more money than anyone in history.

In Silicon Valley, "failing" is a virtue, so it's not surprising to read this about Son.

The guy invested billions of dollars of OPM (some of it blood money from Saudi Arabia) into tech business at terrible valuations. Anyone with an IQ of 80+ and a modicum of social skills could do the same. Remember the Vision Fund hockey-stick chart slide, with flying unicorns and "AI Traffic"? Such vision.
This is exactly what I am working on. Using climate data for more efficient farming, in a nutshell.

Established players are like sledge hammers. They are successful if they are hard working and have some competitive edge (could be labour cost, could be local knowledge, could be profit reinvestment, could be rights to varieties).

Farmers are the most efficient managers you'll ever find. They don't need management, so IMHO any startup that tries a "smart farm" is underestimating the intelligence of the farm managers.

The sweet spot is immediate deliverables in terms of cost saving or other forms of optimisation. In the time of my grandfather, the profit margin was 50% and a flip of the coin whether you'll actually get anything to the market. Today it is <10% and you better know what you are doing.

The retailers are the real money spinners; if you want to make your money at the primary level you better like the social aspect of farming as well.

Don't misunderstand, there is plenty tech, but it is probably more important whether you are willing to work on a Sunday. Take from it what you will; my opinions tend to somewhat unique (in this regard). For example, don't waste your time with "organic farming". It's a marketing term and actually not very descriptive (vs. "organic chemistry"). Sure, you could make money, but in marketing.

The toughest problems are pretty damn interesting though and are basically going to cross polinate with the most cutting edge climate change research.
When you see the list of fonts used at the end it looks like nothing special. But the way they used it in context works really well.
I am the founder of Optimal: http://optimal.ag.

We are a team of engineers and scientists from DeepMind, Palantir, Oxford and MIT. Our mission is to grow safer, healthier food by deploying fully autonomous greenhouses outside every city on earth. We are backed by leading deep technology funds, including Founders Fund.

We believe that high-tech greenhouses will be an important part of our agricultural future, for improved human nutrition and as a hedge to climate change, and we are doing everything we can to accelerate the deployment of new farms around the world.

We are in stealth mode right now so there's not a huge amount about us online but we've made strong progress with the core technology and I would be happy to speak more about our work privately.
I get your first point; most people would look at Newman's 'success story' and feel like wealth doesn't happen by working hard and saving and investing, it happens by meeting the right suckers at the right time.

But I wouldn't say Neumann has destroyed anybody's wealth. He's simply taken Softbank + Saudi Arabian money and made himself and landlords much richer. Unlike Uber and Airbnb whose operations have a public policy impact (lack of labour protections, reduced housing supply), WeWork basically just rents out boutique office space to big corps and freelancers, and does so at a major loss.
