Oh, Better Place. I met their CEO once. He's really good looking, he's a great speaker, and his business plan made no sense. They burned through about a billion dollars and never did more than a few demos and a few hundred Renaults driven by their employees. But he was really good at getting close to heads of state and issuing press releases.

The whole battery swap thing was a bet against batteries and charging technology getting better.
I keep trying to use Brave but I feel that it drops the ball. I think Hamcha encapsulates most of my grievances.

I'd like to add that if your Browser is trying to add a new dynamic of economics but your UX is terrible dealing with tips (fixed) and you're annoying users about needing a deposit. You're doing it wrong.

It's almost like Brave doesn't even believe in it's mission. There should be an intense focus on their product. That they are relentless at it. Because right now, it all seems half-baked.
It's even sillier when robots in almost all sci-fi movies have 'robotic voice' and human level intelligence. It's actually much easier to have human voice and 'robot intelligence'. They got it backwards. At least the computer voice in Star-trek and Data's voice were human.
If this becomes prevalent, there will be considerable outrage. So people will be discovering which devices and apps use tunneled DNS. Restricting the universe to open-source stuff, that shouldn't be that hard, just from the code.

Also, although blocking domains will be harder, you can always block IP addresses and ranges. DNS requests may be tunneled, but apps are still just connecting to IP addresses.

So you can compare IP addresses resolved by trusted DNS servers with those that an app is requesting. And block whatever you don't want. It could become tedious, but one could build something like Pi-Hole that was easily configurable on the fly.

12M isn't too far out of reach for a medium sized city, but definitely is for a small one.

If 75,000 people in your town read the paper, 5 page loads per day, every morning, that is 7.5MM pageviews per month.

If a few articles get read by people one town over, you have a few direct ad deals with local businesses, or your cpm is slightly above average, then you can make money.

Most local websites don't sell ads on the open market with cpm pricing, but do direct deals with local companies that cost something like $5,000/mo.
Your claims are dubious. The Forks Over Knives study was on rats, not humans. That milk increases osteoporosis or causes the body to leach calcium from the bones are decades old myths that have no basis in science. Please check Dr. Michael Greger’s videos or lookup what some vegan dietitians who follow science have said. Myths like these cause more harm and eliminate trust. I say this as someone who doesn’t want animals to be harmed.
Things change, deal with it. I've swapped USB cables to USB-C cables. Only USB drives, which i rarely use anymore require an adapter. Meanwhile, I can use all 4 ports to:

- Run a display

- Charge my laptop

- Charge a phone

- Connect a drive

I can even use a single port to both charge the laptop and run a screen with multiple USB devices attached to it.

I now need to daisy chain converters to use my PS/2 mouse on my MacBook Pro though, so that's a bit of a hassle.

Also, I can use the same charger and dongles for my work notebook, which is Windows based. I wish every new thing was USB-C, because I love it.

Wow, that's a huge difference. I'm tempted to try OpenBSD just for those man pages.
Hear hear, I'm under 30 but because the industry I work in isn't really as sexy or brand new as some more CS focused ones I tend to work with people who are older and were raised with the type of expectation that the workplace is a place for working and carry themselves more or less restrained in this regard.

I have friends who work in LA and in SF and they constantly bombard me with stories of how employees of all levels (even recent hires) just spew the most extremist political diatribes at all times and some just do it to troll other employees of the different faction. It has gotten so bad that there are several "secret" slack channels for these cliques dedicated to continue gossiping and sharing memes that are pretty distasteful.

Whenever I ask about them reporting it to HR they just tell me that HR doesn't really exist and they pretty much exist just to make sure payroll is distributed.

Just my 2 cents but I prefer just clocking in and talking about the weather than have to put up with that kind of toxicity.
Same here - I don't want extensions or complexity on mobile, just a simple, fast browser with and blocking. Brave is perfect for me on mobile.

On desktop I browse differently, and use extensions, so Firefox with uBlock Origin works perfectly for me on desktop

Sure, it sucks, and the bureaucracy that is the NYPD probably means records are kept from longer than they should, and that is bad. But still, the kids data will not be used against them later on, i.e. crimes they commit at that time won't be prosecuted. Their data only helps arrest them if they actually commit a crime, so they would be the ones breaking the rule of law.

The post seems to indicate that go.dev will also have documentation the way that godoc.org has. I think this site looks much more like it would if Go were a community-run project.
>AI/ML systems are supposed to learn things from the data they are fed to accomplish some sort of more generalizable goal or task.

...which means that whether a model is "biased" depends on where and how it's applied. This is an important point that is missing from most discussions, articles and even research papers on the so-called "AI ethics".
Don't Docker Enterprise and Docker Desktop share code and expertise? Isn't this a loss for both of those projects?
The part I'm most excited about here is the pkg.go.dev site, which is basically a module-aware godoc.org server!

For months now, the godocs for Caddy 2 (in beta) have been inaccessible, but now you can read the godocs for every specific tag of Caddy: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/caddyserver/caddy/v2@v2.0.0-be...

That's really, really a game-changer in my opinion. All the trouble transitioning to modules is starting to become worth it!

Thank you very much for the detailed response, this is extremely helpful.

> But if he is literally just making an intro and then now saying you have to sub-contract from him that is odd to me and for me and has red flags all over the place.

This is indeed the case. But the work is interesting, and I believe my friend is just inexperienced. How do you suggest I proceed?

> Is his company big enough you can feel confident he'll pay you timely and properly?

As far as I know this is among his company's first engagements of this kind. I don't believe he is able to pay until the client pays him.

> If things go south, is his company large enough to compensate or protect you during a legal suit? Is he carrying all the proper insurance?

These are great questions, thanks. I will follow up with him regarding legal and insurance.

> For people I don't know or that are just acquittances, I'll do intros but I do take a referral fee paid as they are paid from the client.

I think this kind of arrangement would make more sense under the circumstances. What is the fee you normally take? Do you have any advice for how I can convince my friend that this is the better option for both of us?

> Don't compare to staffing agencies, that isn't an accurate representation unless that is the business your friend is in.

I believe that is the business he wants to be in. Can you please clarify why this isn't an accurate representation?

Thanks again, you've been very helpful already!
You mean the abo-diginals? :-)
So I worked at Google when Google Plus rolled out. What was contentious at the time internally was the Real Names policy. This was all Vic Gundotra's doing. He routinely gave the example of not wanting to interact with someone called "Dog Turd".

I think we have ample evidence that people want pseudonymity. People like to segment parts of their lives without their prospective employer being able to look up what you said and possibly take things out of context. So as much as people outside complained, trust me there was a ton of internal dissent about this too. This was back before leaking for a political agenda became widespread in the Trump era.

Anyway, agree or disagree with the Real Names policy it presented a far larger problem. If some automated system decided your name was "fake" your entire account including Youtube, Gmail and so on got locked.

Whoever signed off on this was utterly insane and should've been fired. While we're at it, fire anybody who suggested it as being a good idea.

I remember looking for a photo storage solution for my sister at the time. Google Plus had unlimited storage but you had to "upgrade" your account to a Google Plus account. I, as a Google engineer, could not in good conscience recommend this approach because I had no idea what might trigger a global lock on her account.

Google Photos came from the wreckage of this shit show and is actually a good product. This happens when you start addressing user needs and concerns rather than trying to push your own agenda. What agenda? Google wanted a single account for everything where everyone was logged into search as this would allow search to be personalized (better). Or at least that was the theory. Larry talked a lot about the desire to get people signed in to Google search.

I'm utterly dependent on my Gmail address to the point where I probably won't use any future Google service just to diminish my risk of some new product triggering a global lockout, which as an ex-employee I now have limited ability to rectify.

Google should NEVER have taken the route of a global lock out. Trust is broken. So my chances of using this banking service is literally zero.

Honestly, this split is a great idea IMHO. Gatsby did that a while back as well. Gophers are cute, that's for sure - but a "clean" appearance like that of the new site is neat for whenever you want to pitch Go to a non-technical person.

My 2012 Retina was solid, lasted for 7 years till the battery just started going. Had they not glued it in I would have replaced battery and kept going.. hunted for a replacement and really not happy with anything. A compromise was switching to a Razer Blade Base (here in New Zealand we have Consumer Gaurentees Act - so even if it's iffy quality next 5 or so years I can get it fixed for free). From a quality perspective still doesn't really touch a 7 year old machine.... yes it's awesomely fast and at least upgradeable. But the trackpad definitely not the same sensitivity & consistency, chassis I think is ever so slightly warped, fan and heat when it's plugged in is a problem, and screen, well....

Well having shortcuts to stuff that you don't want to have to trackpad up to and click every time, or remember keyboard chords for. Same purpose as function keys, but without the memorization necessary to use them.
Brave ads don't track you around the web and sell your data to other advertisers. Brave ads don't slow down the pages your browsing, or get in the way of the content you're trying to view. And, Brave ads are optional; you only view them if you want to support the pages/news sites/YouTube channels you're viewing.

If you buy something that's directly useful then you (in the general case) risk being exploited. By buying something that can't be used or resold, you give the signal but in a "safe" way.
There is no reason for them to do this except to have 100% visibility into your purchasing behavior. To serve you more ads, better.
Thanks for the excellent response. Good job spotting my (unintentionally) suppressed premise, (3).

> I would rather that my employers tries the best possible at the (futile) task of being respectful and celebratory to all, and if problems are raised they try to be concluded with minimal conflict and maximum respect.

I think we agree that employers ought to take positions somewhere on the Pereto curve [0] of that tradeoff-space.

At one level, it seems to be a question of how happy various employee groups would feel for the different policy options. I don't have a principled reason for my own preference in that trade-space, so I try to not put my own views on a pedestal for this topic.

If nobody has a convincing argument for the proper balance in that tradeoff-space, though, it makes me wonder if it's simply a matter of personal preference / opinion for everyone involved.

I agree. The rebrand to Keysight is the worst. Agilent was a good name by the time they split. Agilent still exists in medical but I know much less about that. I think everyone who works in test & measurement knows the big brands and knows keysight. All of the reps, culture, and products stayed the same.

The rebranding I’ll never understand is Fujitsu -> Socionext.
Well, not quite. Electric cars are a good fit for a warm climate (so you don't have to spend too much power on the heater), lots of sun, and no oil.

Like Hawaii, which just passed 10,000 electric cars and has more solar power than the power company can absorb during the day.
I don’t think “heat map” means what you think it means.

Two things to consider...

First, there has been a lot of talk about how much work it is to onboard to Kubernetes. There have even been recent discussions in Kubernetes SIGs. In UX terms, Kubernetes has a high barrier to entry.

I realize that many people who use and know Kubernetes like it. We folks are a group that has gotten past the high barrier to entry. Most have not.

Second, Helm is a package manager. It's like apt, yum, homebrew, and others. It lets someone who knows how to run an application (ops business logic) on a platform (like debian or k8s) and package it up so someone else who doesn't know this can easily run an application. This is why so many use brew and apt to install something rather than install everything by hand.

Something like jsonnet doesn't solve for these situations.

I know some folks don't like text-templating. I'm not a big fan of go templating. But, templating is something that people are used to and generally comfortable with. This means it has a fairly low barrier to entry.

Notice, a lot of the reasons for why Helm does things is to reduce friction for a large audience. To reduce the barrier to entry.
Here's an outlandishly optimistic take on the possibilities.....as the internet and media is flooded with increasingly convincing but false representations of reality, a widespread habit of greater skepticism of "the facts" starts to spread throughout society, leading people to alter the speed at which they form new opinions on various issues (possibly degrading confidence in preexisting opinions), and the manner in which they construct their personal mental model of reality. As the frequency with which an individual's brain is fed data inconsistent with directly observable reality increases, might a tipping point be eventually released where it refuses to continue making snap decisions, and instead delays judgement until a later point in time when more information is available?

I'm not saying there isn't a use case for this, it's just that for the most part I prefer dumping what I have from an immutable git commit into the Kube API.

This is awesome (in a crazy way). I was playing with Resemble.ai [1] yesterday and was surprised by how good it was in replicating my voice with just a few minutes of dataset. This technology is going to keep on getting better by the minute.

Jacksonville is a weird case, because the city limits include a freakishly large area compared to almost every other large city in the US: Jacksonville's city limits span ~875 square miles, vs. ~58 square miles for Minneapolis (and another 56 square miles of St. Paul). Jacksonville essentially includes a huge chunk of its suburbs within the city limits. If you drew an 875 square mile region around the MSP area, you'd find houses that were comparable in cost to the ones you're referencing in Jacksonville.
Well, their address is in California but bulk of their workforce seems to be in Russia. My confusion is mostly about whether this is an American company that has a ton of eastern Europeans on staff or an Eastern European company with an address in California.

I'm going to give this a try again. I REALLY want the model of micropayments vs ads to work. I realize content creators need to get paid, I just refuse to be subtly influenced by ads in my day to day life. I currently use an ad blocker in Chrome to get around that but I'm perfectly fine paying $5 a month to creators I use.

The problem is that I think ads may be worth even more than that to creators, which if you have any doubt about their efficacy should make you rethink.

I admit that it's unfortunate that AI can't write out their decision logic but I would argue that is because there hasn't been enough resources put into explainable AI. Considering the increasing use of these algorithms, I don't know if that is even a high priority.

I tend to think that people are not as logical as they like to think they are, myself included. Not to say there isn't good reasoning, just that much of our decision making is emotional and habitual over some pure sense of logic.

Systems like BERT seem perfectly rational to me. Are they not just following a set of rules on a given input to modify a state?(In the most simplistic sense of computation). I think the confusion is more over what the goal of these programs are and how do we encode that. This reminds me of the ai system that would pause the game of tetris so that it could never lose. Not we it's programmers intended but still accomplished it's "goal".
My only hope now is that my current MBP fails and i can get a new one under apple care.
