I think the surmise in your last paragraph is basically correct. I have no idea if there was any stalking going on. My calendar is public within the company like everyone else, but I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable if I found that an enemy were using that information to harass or intimidate me, and I would expect management to deal with that severely. This goes twice for engineers stalking HR people, since generally the HR folks have much less power and influence in the organization.

If it were the TV, why would the problem only happen with Hulu and not Netflix or any other app?

Also I bought a very expensive TV, and while I didn't dissect it I don't think there are any cheap parts in it - and the reviews all agree it had a top-of-the-line processor at the time and that was only a year ago. I mean it even has glass bezels for the OLED panel.

I don't think anything you say applies to my situation at all. I think Hulu just has some shitty software.

Where do you get your 3-5C increase from? Observed temperatures over the last few decades have only increased by about 0.13C per decade. We have not seen a warmer year than 1998. Despite massive increases in CO2 as China and India have industrialized.

I have plenty of issues with them too. But that doesn't exonerate Snopes for twisting claims in misleading ways, whether satire or not.

I used to rely on them, too. That's part of the reason that it pisses me off so much... It used to be a great resource.

Now I use it more to see how a political claim is going to spun, than to check whether it's true.

I've rambled in a few places, but I don't have something collected and coherent.

The general principle is exercise of a general push against "the application" as unit of functionality. My main inspiration has been nmh (https://www.nongnu.org/nmh/). As compared with traditional mail clients, it pushes individual mail-related actions into the shell.

The mail client has the advantage of not really needing a long-running process, but that isn't really a blocker - put the functionality behind an API and expose it through utilities, talking to a socket based on shell variables, and you can put together a pretty compelling experience. I wrote a libpurple client that worked that way. Where relevant, you can poll in PROMPT_COMMAND.

What does this look like for a web browser? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We can mimic a typical web browser experience, with commands to follow links, maybe manage tabs, interact with UX elements, poke the JS on the page?

But maybe we could also move away from the sense-of-place metaphor that puts us "on" one page at a time, and fold in stuff learned in spidering? Once we get thinking outside the box, there might be some really interesting things to find.

Or maybe not.

Excerpt:

"In this material, a wavelike pattern of electrons in high- and low-density regions forms spontaneously but is confined to a single direction within the material. But when hit with an ultrafast burst of laser light—less than a picosecond long, or under one trillionth of a second—that pattern, called a charge density wave or CDW, is obliterated, and a new CDW, at right angles to the original, pops into existence.

This new, perpendicular CDW is something that has never been observed before in this material. It exists for only a flash, disappearing within a few more picoseconds. As it disappears, the original one comes back into view, suggesting that its presence had been somehow suppressed by the new one."

My thoughts:

The first thought that comes to mind is "superposition"... The second thought that comes to mind is "possible higher-dimensional and/or phase-shifted view of the substructure of matter" (in this case, lanthanum tritelluride)... Even if neither of these things turn out to be the case, the phenomena is fascinating!

Yeah, no. I broadly agree with the what many activists at tech companies are supporting, but think that its deliberate attempts to make the workplace more political are unproductive or backfiring. When it gets to the point that a significant percentage of employees are feigning or exaggerating support for political positions to fit in, you have a problem. And the tech companies I've worked at in the SF Bay Area for the last four years have been in that position.

Yes, but why just ITER? Can we really wait until 2035 at which point it's still just a PoC before working on DEMO, and how many DEMOs can we build quickly after that?

There is promising work coming out of Lockheed's Skunk Works, using a completely different design and MIT has SPARC. Given ITER is pretty well locked in on the Tokamak design they've chosen and it a matter of building it, why not fund as many ideas as possible as while most may not work, you just don't know whether one results in a discovery and pivot that changes everything.

I think Berlin is a great choice, because it excels at the metrics that matter most in constructing a new gigafactory. I believe the most critical metrics are:

- cost of labour/wages: extremely low in Berlin
- standard of living: very high, healthy
- reachability: near Airport, highways, railroad
- location within Europe: Germany/Berlin is perfectly in the middle of Europe with great railroad/truck connections to all other
- regulation/friendliness to car industry: exceptional in Germany, as auto industry is the world's biggest
- talent: world-class in Germany
- law and order/rule of law: one of the best in the world
I don't get how anyone. An draw conclusions from elective treatment like Lazik, when, until we get better about proactive medicine, most treatment is reactive and fairly dire.

I don't think in our current state of poor health and disfunction ("deferred maintenance") is a market appropriate at all. The Oregon experiment makes sense. We need to get a few good years of people taking care of themselves in ways they never did before. It might mean more visits. (A side benefit is we can recalibrate all our statics with more healthier people visiting.) Only then could we experiment with some quasi market tricks.

America is too stupid unhealthy and disfunctional for some clever market tricks to work. We need some simple stupid public healthcare and only then could try some German/Swiss/Japanese/Indianan tricks. Capitalism works best when the stakes are low, as a game for rich (or healthy in this case) people. The improvished or dying will just get screwed over without aggregate benefits for the rest.

Depending on how big you are and how much security is a core competency, even at this point it's important for your system to be architected in a way that can slow the attacker down in order to give your blue team time to respond.

Ideally you will have built your system to have multiple layers of defense. Reality is somewhat less ideal, but it's still valuable to discuss how to harden against amplification/persistence techniques after the initial breach.
Temperature baseline is against pre-industrial average, and two-thirds of the warming has occurred since 1975, at a rate of roughly 0.15-0.20°C per decade[1]. It's accelerating, and yes we have seen 9 warmer years than 1998[2] - all in the 21st century.

The big difference between Government and Startups is the fact that Governments by definition are monopolies. You gotta totally leave the country/state/city if you are unhappy with them. Startups die pretty quickly creating signals as to what one needs to do to stay alive. Governments on other hand can even kill people and nothing much changes.

Of course you can see bad government vs good governments at national level and judge them by migration of people.

> Companies should only do the minimum required by law?

Whether they should or not is irrelevant, it's what they do. Companies com and go, companies that spend more than they have to tend to go faster, employers change even more frequently. Do you want to put up this fight every time you change employers? Do you want to be stuck at one employer because changing jobs means losing benefits?

> We only win if everyone gets the benefit?

I don't consider getting these benefits for the privileged few with job mobility to be much of a win. Even for them it's probably not a long term win.

> The only solution is not "make the government mandate the solution".

It's not the only solution just the best solution, more unionization would be another solution that's way better than a piecemeal company by company approach though. The government solution also offers up some much better alternatives in cases like healthcare.
That does not work in my experience.

Time series problems are indeed temporal, but not all temporal problems are time series problems. Time series deals with time-specific features of a discrete sequence like autocorrelation, trends, seasonality, etc. whereas frequency domain methods deal with, well, frequency.

Support you’re are looking at sales patterns over a long period of time, which has certain patterns. FFTs are unlikely to tell you much that is useful or predict much whereas time series methods can reveal patterns where the t is the independent variable.

My point is simple, DRM-free services have no issues with video on Linux, because video doesn't really depend on the platform. Video is video everywhere. As long as they aren't using some crazy custom codecs that no one has support for, it will work.
