Right, but this isn’t a sandboxing issue.
Another reason is security. Telling the user explicit reasons for account deactivation could open you up to more sophisticated attacks. Of course this isn't a huge concern in most situations, and it can sometimes be less of a concern for older, active accounts. But this is definitely an issue in banking.
We've also been using Metabase lately. It doesn't have some of the querying power of a Tableau/Data Studio, but in terms of being able to just click through and "discover" trends in your data, it's really nice. Super quick and easy to get started even for non-technical folks, and best of all it's OSS! Really impressive project.

Why, comma, you say that as if building a car outside of Germany and selling it inside of Germany would face some sort of unfair obstacles, rather than being a straightforward and painless process as it ought.
As long as they put the reason inside a PDF things should be ok. That way they simply won't read it, problem solved.

ESPN is not what people want to pay for. Nearly every cable subscription included ESPN, and core cutting has greatly cut ESPN revenue.
That's completely untrue, as much as it would make sense for it to be. In fact, constitutional rights have not been applied universally to noncitizens by courts. Everything from the First Amendment onward has been limited by case law as it applies to non-US persons.

Hulu on my Apple TV is excellent - I find the interface to be much less "noisy" than Netflix and I like the large back catalog on a lot shows. Honestly I subscribed for one show (forget what it was now) but found I liked it a lot more than I thought I would.
We bought a $1 house in Italy. Here’s what happened next
You're conflating in-network, out of network with HSA -- as these also apply for POS and HMO plans - only traditional plans don't get the plan cost savings, tax deduction, (or if they're lucky the employers savings into an HSA account)

Your bicycling example isn't far off though (as someone who had an HSA and was in a bicycling accident). I had a ~$3600 deductible, and that was spent between an ambulance ride, ER visit, blood test, and MRI.

So, at that point, all costs would be on my insurer and I would theoretically no longer care to price discriminate for follow up visits (to get stitches removed)

I still have an HSA, though I make sure I get the lower deductible now.
and constitutionally speaking, permanent exile isn't considered a punishment for noncitizens, so SCOTUS can rule whatever they want is unconstitutional, it still means they're gonna do it
All of this almost has me wishing for a human curated list of high quality sites for each topic, though that would obviously have its problems, too.

Depends how you want to use the word tech.

For the US it usually means some successful SV FAANG type software company.

For Germany it's usually some successful hardware engineering company (Siemens, Bosch, Mercedes, Arri, Infineon, Continental etc.). Those companies can afford to pay the equivalent of FAANG wages in Germany albeit at a smaller scale.

Southern Germany has more experience and talent in the latter while Berlin has more software startups and web devs, similar to the former.
> This would increase, not decrease, the bandwidth.

Not if that part of the stream isn't downloaded. It's quite easy to skip over some chunks in either HTTP (range) or bittorent.

> The status quo is to use Adaptive Bitrate, where you publish streams at different quality levels and have the client choose which stream to use to adapt to network conditions.

This works well if you have a good connection (uninterrupted, so that you can switch to adapt to the available bandwidth), however you cannot progressively load better and better quality content, as the low quality one will be wasted. Moreover, if the connection is interrupted, you cannot fall back to the low quality content, as you probably haven't downloaded it.

However, that's just wasteful, as it would "just" be a matter of presenting data in a manner that can be better chuncked. And for adaptative bitrate to work well, you need a reliable bandwidth estimate from the start...

Luckily, network infrastructure is improving everywhere. But that shouldn't be a reason to be that wasteful, especially given that a) most of Internet's bandwidth is dedicated to video b) it would lower transcoding energy costs as well c) if everyone gets the same file, it's much, much more effective for p2p, such as in that case (especially for a moderate number of viewers).

Edit:

> From what I can tell SVC adds lower resolution streams to the H264 bitstream so that devices with weaker decoders can still decode the video.

It's more like organizing the data so that some can be dropped, and it gracefully degrades quality (FPS, resolution...) instead of dropping some images. I tried to explain it with my own terms there: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17307277 before knowing the proper name.

Searching HN, I found https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18045494 which kind of answers my question.
If you give a sandbox a capability and then there’s a bug in it, there’s always a chance that it will maliciously access those privileged resources. The only way I can see of protecting against logic bugs like these is better tooling.

That still won't help and might make things worse.

By the time a rich student reaches college selection, he has a number of structural advantages over a poor student.

Let's take the SAT exam in the US, for example. Many poor students take the SAT effectively cold--the idea that you can prepare for that test and that paying money to prep is a good idea are simply not in scope. Whereas, a rich student is simply going to assume that obviously you prep for a test like the SAT and of course you spend money to do so.
The number sold electric vehicles in germany is still exponential not saturated, the government recently announced to build additional charging stations across the country in the order of 10 thousands and to increase the (tax) incentives for hybrid and fully electric cars. It is a good time to build a factory for electric cars in germany. Berlin is a sweet spot when it comes to talent in high tech, suppliers and transport connection.

I don't think that anyone is claiming they are intending to do this.
It might sound crazy, but according to one of Bob Lutz's books, there is/was a huge corpus of GM Engineering Standards, some of which dated back to the 1930s, that had a big influence on design. This might explain why a compact Pontiac Sunbird might feel like a fullsize 1979 Pontiac Parisienne-both cars might have to meet the same set of criteria regardless of market fit!
The thing that I find really daunting with Jupyter is the set of APIs that it seems I need to learn in order to get it to do anything cool, like for example visualizing data or a function, or making an interactive widget that does the same. I don’t remember the same kind of pain when playing around with Mathematica. I really want to like it and learn it — I really like interactive programming. It just never makes it high enough on my brain space list to seem worth it.

Since C# is my daily language, this is pretty cool though. I just really wish that I had a use-case strong enough for it to overcome the initial pains of learning it and the ongoing mental maintenance of staying usefully fluent in yet another set of libraries.

opinions which include openly plotting to make sure that negative coverage of Barack Obama was either explained away or, better yet, ignored by the media.

This collusion showed that “the fix was in” and that liberal “journalists” saw no reason not to coordinate along ideological lines instead of simply reporting the truth.

Next you'll tell me journalists aren't expected to simply report the truth.

Almost entirely in Go. I use Gorgonia [0] and Gonum [1]. Granted I wrote Gorgonia. All solutions fit into the company's CI/CD infra with almost no additional overhead.

Sometimes the end result is gRPC services, sometimes its some sort of serialized model (weights). Sometimes the model is specified in protobuf. Very rarely it's a HTTP API. I don't fancy those.

Ironically I haven't done much distributed models. Or if it's distributed, it's not some Kafka-esque monstrosity.

I rarely use Python for anything other than exploratory analyses now.

Being able to type `go build .` and have it run anywhere is pretty awesome

you could creating an autonomous piloting service that used a combination of thermal-hunting and solar-pv to dramatically cut the energy budget required of the batteries.

edit: re-thinking your question, I think the real answer is "the entire kit market". In america the regulations allow for people to build their own planes under a certain weight, so companies get around that by selling "kits" that the buyer has to finish assembling themself. so most of the <$100k air "plane" market is already a lotus-like frame you can do stuff with.

The point is the government can't arbitrarily take away your medium of communication you legally own and use. Barring random specific issues (such as noise ordinances), if you own a megaphone (metaphorical or not) you can use it to spread your speech. If people could only exercise free speech by whispering quietly to themselves then it may as well not exist. You could start by reading wikipedia about freedom of the press.
I used draw.io a bit a few years ago, before running out of reasons between jobs.

And free! Someone mentioned handbrake and vlc, would definitely agree with the comparison.

Yes, but the whole point of the attorney is to make sure that the correct laws are applied to you. This ensures that it's the country that's determining who is admissible rather than just a petty tyrant who got out on the wrong side of the bed.
The problem is that Googlers (like far too many tech companies) view data as being secure if outsiders can't get access to it. They don't count access by themselves as a security issue, even though it objectively is.
The benefit of Jupyter notebooks really is about being able to share chunks of code and write narrative around it.

It isn’t really aiming to replace a dev environment like VSCode.

We’re seeing a rise of notebooks in particular because they encourage writing a lot of plain text around your code, and that’s really good both for teaching, and promoting good documentation skills for learners.

Unfortunately the US has a long history of giving the best killing systems to randomers (in many cases as a self sustaining racket, which is horrifying). The net result has not been great at all. If the parents criteria of pure defense was applied then the world including the people of the US would be much better off.
Without knowing the backroom deals - Berlin is a nice choice for things because it's like 'East Europe wages' with 'West Europe capabilities'.

Germany is a very stable robust economy that might be their #1 'export source' - there's a lot of related knowledge - and in a 'cramped Europe' - the Berlin area is wide open.

FYI Berlin has 'wide avenue streets' which are totally unlike most other European places, sometimes it feels like Los Angeles and not Europe.

It might have been possible to go to Czech/Poland but there are just a large number of 'little things' that can go wrong over there, issues best left to those who know and operate the market well.

Compound this with the probable politics of the game and it makes sense.

In a way it's the most obvious choice.

A condenser column would need to be cooled. Even a passive radiator adds weight.

Another step in the engine cycle can cool and condense the water vapor to liquid, and extract additional energy from the exhaust. The weight of the required additional engine parts, and the cooler in particular, tends to erase all the actual benefit in an automobile. Cargo ships and train locomotives could do it.

There's a weird and recurring anti-Netflix sentiment on here that is rather hard to fathom. Netflix demise has been predicted among the tech community for years now. Keeps growing. As publishers pull content from Netflix, that's more money that Netflix has to entice other publishers and to make their own. I suspect they'll do fine.
One vouch doesn't unkill a comment (just as one downvote doesn't kill a comment). If you vouch and the comment is immediately unkilled, then since you were probably the person whose vouch made the final difference you probably do have a positive vouching value. It is rare to see that, however, so you don't really know your own (or anyone's) vouching value. The term "hellvouch" was intended to represent that we don't know what our vouching power, not that we don't know whether a comment has been unkilled or not.

We can see whether someone else's comment has been killed whether we're logged in or out, so maybe I'm not following your question...

I love crystal and I have a lot of autonomy so I get to use what I want. Shainet is also really good in general for coming up with new network topologies, which I find is a lot harder to do in a lot of the python-based mega-frameworks, Cafe, etc. In general, fibers are really good for concurrent/parallel data processing, and now that crystal has true parallelism (enabled with a flag), for my purposes there is no reason not to use it.

Occasionally I will use rust or C/C++ for some of these tasks, but I try to keep things in crystal whenever I can.
is coffee really the PI ?
Disney isn't going to be able to sustain the subscriber numbers they want just by offering their back catalog, regardless of how good it is. They need to constantly release new content to keep people hooked, and shows like The Mandalorian and all the MCU ones are going to be as expensive to produce as what Netflix spends.
It's not that Gmail has a dominant position and so doesn't need to care about its rating - Gmail is an app not a page and it's less important for apps to load quickly than pages. Apps tend to be long lived and so a slow startup time is tolerable, whereas one is constantly opening new pages.

That is to say, I don't think e.g. Trello would really care if their site was "slow to load" either.
C# has supported interactive scripting for years now since Roslyn came about. Even VS has a C# Interactive window.
Just adding to the choir. This is a great tool. I prefer using open source software when possible, but I also like to pay for the tools that makes my job easier. The developer is aiming at corporate, volume licensing and I understand how a Patreon account would run counter to their business strategy. I wish there was a 'small dollar donations' channel, though. I like this tool enough to throw them some regular money.
