Great to see - but amazon marketing is approaching Apple levels. Lots of talk of “only service of its kind” where things like Azure Virtual Nodes (ACI + AKS) and Google Cloud Run have been GA for months

This isn't 1900 though. Helicopters have been a thing for 70 years. Everyone knows you can make an unsafe multirotor. They're everywhere. Colin Furze made one in his shed. You can buy general aviation aicraft today with fully autonomous autopilots, including a completely hands-off "land at the nearest airport because the pilot's having a heart attack" button.

The absolute bottom line offering of any small aircraft has to be that its safe (or at least, the failure rate is acceptable - which means at least comparable to modern helicopters). That's the innovation that anyone entering the market needs to bring.
Renewable have no flexibility, that can't ramp up on demand, they can only be curtailed, which is stupid.
Nuclear have a lot of flexibility, as I showed you, the spikes are already dealt with by hydro and reservoir.

We just need moar nuclear plants and we can eliminate the few remaining coal and gas plants.

That is correct. Three lines, one for each processor type.
My understanding is that these employees were looking through people's calendars and documents to figure out who was negotiating for Google with outfits like the Border Patrol, so they could pressure these people to stop and so they could let outside press know the status of any discussions.

So say Alice who is a Search Engine Data Analyst finds that Daryl over in Corporate Finance has a meeting "CBP update Washington". Alice reasons that CBP is US Customs & Border Patrol who she believes are inhumane and Google shoudn't work wit them - and she pulls up all Daryl's other meetings and sets an alert to tell her if Daryl books any other meetings with the word CBP in. Alice gets fired.

The problem for this current plan is that sure it looks like Alice is being fired for _snooping on corporate plans_ which historically wasn't against Google's rules but is also not a legally protected activity. Sure, she was snooping on those plans for the same reason she was organizing (to stop Google working with CBP), but that doesn't make her fired for organizing.

The most senior person I knew properly at Google left citing this sort of ethical problem as one reason, they felt that working on products that might be used by people who had beliefs they disagreed with was unacceptable. Weirdly they left to work for... a famous AAA video games vendor that specifically brought them on to add obviously unethical monetisation features to future games which prey on people with gambling addiction and other problems. We have agreed to disagree on whether this is outright hypocrisy.
In theory, yes. In practice the blades don't have enough angular momentum for this to work longer than a very short time, which is why the first step a pilot must take upon engine failure is to slam the collective down so the air flowing past the blades will keep them spinning in the same direction.

Some helicopters with very heavy blades with lots of angular momentum have been built, but it makes the blades heavy which requires a more powerful engine which makes the whole craft heavier which means you need even more angular momentum...you get the idea. It's an engineering nightmare so it's atypical.
>Unless you work on sales, you are probably measured by the quality of your thinking, your attitudes, projects, and initiatives. You don't deliver a piece of code and get a grade.

I'd be much happier if my code received a grade. My boss doesn't currently like me because I'm not a complete "yes man", while the other Project Managers here would 100% tell him the moon is made of cheese if that's what he wanted to hear. "Evaluative criteria" are ripe for abuse in a thousand different ways, including internalized bias and racism.

There will always be subjectivity, but we can and should try to minimize it. I can't find the article now, but I remember reading a study where classical musicians were graded with the reviewers watching them, versus only hearing them play behind a curtain, and the scores were substantially different, exposing considerable bias.

Here is something similar... https://www.theguardian.com/women-in-leadership/2013/oct/14/...

Hence, standardized testing. It's practically a miracle, as far as I'm concerned -- a truly fair way to quantify many types of intellect / skills.

>This is the reason schooling continues to be more and more irrelevant today.

Schooling is more irrelevant today as people are realizing that putting a child into a school doesn't make them smarter, just like putting them onto a basketball court doesn't make them taller.

It's just conditioning and babysitting (which most families need, to be fair.)
According to AWS marketing: 20% lower cost and up to 40% higher performance over Amazon EC2 M5 instances, based on internal testing of workloads.

Unfortunately, yes. Limited usefulness at best without unicode support, at least to a degree. Even UTF-16 or 32 internally would suffice, treating UTF-8 only as ser/de format is good enough these days.

I think you have it backwards--the 'dumb TVs' are the ones that are expensive now. Presumably smart TVs are subsidized by the manufacturer selling the data they collect on you.

For now, I've settled for buying a smart TV and not connecting it to the Internet. Until they come up with a way to phone home without my Wi-Fi, I think I should be safe from spying and vulnerabilities..

Are you sure they need your support then? (...and that you're not just funding Wayne LaPierre's personal slush fund?) Why not SAF, for example?
For me, day 3 was the stunner even though the writing was already on the wall.

Day 1 was a great surprise but I was still left wondering if it was a fluke. Day 2 showed that it was no fluke and I started to get a sinking feeling. I guessed that Lee Sedol would lose the third game and win the fourth after the pressure of the Korea and humanity was off him.
I'll go with goofy looking and keep my legs. :)
Could we use sshd in the future?
I'm curious as well, I wonder if they'll be cheaper compared to AMD64. Would be nice to build a cheap sandbox environment with a bunch of these machines.
Yes, they should get heat.

I would deliver the same value whether I'm sitting in SF or Cambodia.

Their salary formula's are flawed. And insulting.
" redesign the standards every couple of years."

That seems to be the real problem.
> We settled on an amount equivalent to how much I’d earn as a US-based engineer working 6 months, but then multiplied by X for the traction/success factor already achieved. And I also still have a stake in the project going forward.

Why not just, simply, put the price? You know that most people are only, barely, interested in the "acquisition" price rather than the story of how you got there.
Actually, nowadays PDFs in email are also accepted instead of fax! (or emails signed with the ePerso S/MIME function).

So far a court, a health insurance company, the national pension fund, and some municipal administrations I've had contact with all have accepted PDFs attached to emails just fine :)

And if you ever need actual fax functionality, the most common home router (Fritz!Box) has a virtual fax machine integration, so you can send and receive faxes with an app or an email gateway from your own VoIP SIP "landline" connection.
> the absolute lack of self-censorship is cacophony where nothing is ever decided

I don't believe this, and I've engaged in processes where this was not the case (albeit on a relatively small scale).

Requirements for effective consensus without self-censorship are:

1. a strict, ordered and budgeted process for airing views. Your cacophony only occurs without such process (such cacophony also leads to a different form of censorship, simply by "survival of the loudest").

2. a deliberative decision making process: the best way to alienate (and encourage self-censorship in) someone is to assign finality to decisions they oppose. It's also the best way to delay decisions. Controversial decisions can be expedited if there isn't perceived to be a barrier to reconsidering them later.

Or to put it a different way: people who don't agree with a direction an org takes are more likely to remain committed to that org if their later "I told you so"s are taken on board.
In Germany you get (or are supposed to get – delivery is not getting better as the competition resulted in a slow race to the bottom) a piece of paper telling you which neighbor has the package. You don’t have to remember the package as the neighbor (though I usually ring their door bell if they haven’t come to get it after a day or two).

In 1991 Clive James did a Television New Year review.

Part of that was the cultural phenomenon of Terminator 2.

They show the scene where Sarah Connor escapes her asylum cell only to round the corner and run bodily into Arnie. Sarah panics and primal screams.. Arnie gets out the shotgun and blasts the T1000...

then the camera cuts back to Clive James who said:

"... and that was just The Love Scene"
Freedom and set intersection: why Americans argue so much about freedom
In Taiwan and Japan, they'll leave packages at the convenience store (konbini). Also, people are more respectful of others in those two countries, so property crime isn't as high as most American cities anyway.
I am in South Africa. Smart TVs cost by my calculations at least 10 percent to as much as 30 percent more for same size screen and resolution. Perhaps it's the in thing right now to get a smart tv hence the difference in price.
How does this work?

You grow a ton of hemp. It captures X tons of carbon.

People use it for rope or whatever. Eventually throw it away. It decays or is burned. X tons of carb are released back into the atmosphere.

How did that capture any carbon?
It's a standardized design for chip manufacturers to make it easier for them to add custom instructions in hardware to an ARM core and provide toolchain-support for it, not something software-programmable for the end-user.
Your weirdly aggressive tone aside, I'll just say that I don't work with the smartest of people, but even still, almost everyone here with a company phone does choose to keep a separate private phone, namely due to perfectly valid policies like the one being discussed. She chose not to, and while she is a victim, it's only by her own choosing, so she is definitely solely to blame.
They exposed a bus on one of their Cortex-M cores, so you can add custom instructions when building an ASIC.

Perhaps more importantly, they also changed their licensing to allow custom instructions.

Amazon's on-site emergency care endangers its employees
If I was to adopt these ARM instances in production, for my services running on the JVM, I suppose I need to ensure things can actually build, integration test it all together, load test it, and review performance metrics.

Then I also need to ensure that all the tooling I use (for example - agents running on the box, other processes decoupled from my service, etc) are all working as expected without functional or performance regressions.

I’m actually not sure what else needs to be looked at... but this is all new work without new value if I look at it on its own. Hard to justify to my CIO.

I don’t know what the pricing model is but I wouldn’t even think of adopting this unless there’s a significant price benefit, allowing me to run on much cheaper hardware.

Even then, it only makes sense to me if you have hundreds or thousands or tens of thousands of hosts provisioned where that price delta really adds up to savings.

This is all conjecture - I’ve never done a migration like this.
You're the reason I joined DarkScience sometime back, event wound up paying for IRCCloud which I can't recommend enough for those who want to just have a "slack like" experience. They open source some of their solutions too.

DarkScience is a good community, I'm not very active, I lurk a bit, but these days my social network is all on Discord. I've ran my own independent IRCd before using ngircd and it was great for my small community, but now that they're just all on Discord, it's kind of pointless for me to run a daemon.

I do dream of hosting an IRCd again if Discord ever goes too far. We do talk about reverse engineering and such so we are kind of at their mercy. I think the one thing IRC is missing is a solid client for those of us who like desktop / mobile clients. There's no reason an IRC client can't preview images and render youtube videos like Slack does, at least for those of us who like that kind of thing, I know some IRC users like their terminal clients.

When i got a new TV last year, the kid at Best Buy thought it was funny i wanted a non smart TV. I managed to get a 55" with no networking or applications. I know i am the minority, but i just want the TV to turn on and display a picture. i have a blu-ray player that is like 8 years old. It has netflix and vudu and MLB and about 4 more apps. None can work anymore, they stop updating devices after a year or so. I would rather have a roku or something that gets updated.

Remember when Samsung warned about having conversations around TV sets...

I had to connect mine to the network in order to change lighting/contrast settings, as it has very few physical controls.

10 Important Questions to Consider Before Investing in a Company
I guess it's stunningly obvious to everyone else, but how are you certain the replacement isn't worse than the original system. I already see comments about the curation problem, for example. What's the point in making bad information (duplicate information etc.) highly available? Why put so much faith in this donation strategy i.e. donating bandwidth or donating money?
I just opt for not connecting them to the internet.

Interesting that the numbers are the same, I think it’s just coincidence, they are measuring different things on different time scales. It peaked in 1978 with several billion pills being dispensed in a single year. I had a psych professor that said that 70% of US adults were on Valium at some point during the 70s. Anecdotal but I think it’s in the right ballpark.
There are also multiple petabytes of microfiche scans of old newspapers. And of course nobody cares about it. The problem was shut down 2011ish and the data became "owned" by a team that didn't care for it. There was talk of just deleting the data because the team didn't want to pay for it. Ugh.
Presumably the same reason startups take VC - to invest to create even more 'resources'.

Internet Society says opportunity to sell .org for $1.14bn came out of the blue
I have used FedEx for my business only 5 times this year in NYC to have important packages delivered (our vendors weren't flexible in these instances). 3 out of those 5 times, the driver slapped a "sorry we missed you sticker" and just left, or they delivered it to the wrong address (the next street over). The drivers are pretty careless and simply don't care enough. I even get deliveries that are clearly not the right address, yet they end up on my building doorstep. FedEx is simply frustrating to deal with.

Their "investigations" will reveal one story, but my security camera reveals another, and even management doesn't care that my building's deliveries are never made because the drivers just slap the sticker and move on.

Arm Aligns Its Server Ambitions to Those of Its Partners
Moron here. I work for Google and use my work phone as my personal phone, via Android work profile, so the work stuff is siloed. This means I have less than full access to company resources, but I don't really want to read code or respond to bugs on my phone anyway.

My understanding is that Google can't see the personal stuff. But it doesn't matter that much to me, personally, if they can (I'm not doing any exciting corporate activism, anything illegal, etc.). At least, it doesn't matter more than a couple grand a year plus the inconvenience of two phones. I'm not saying everyone should feel this way, and obviously some people value privacy more than I do, but that's the trade-off that makes sense for this idiot.
If you want to help, why not ask the people running the site what you can do to help? Do you actually want to help, or do you want to make puzzles? Or do you just want to discuss a perceived problem that may or may not exist?

I'm not sure you're aware of the scheduled outages I'm referring to (and why would you? You live in a country with reliable power). I'm referring to the scheduled outages where our power company decides to turn off power for entire cities and regions because they didn't invest enough money in maintaining their power grid to prevent wildfires during high winds and trees blow into the power lines.

So it leads to the case where hundreds of thousands of people have no power at home, but often a short distance away (like maybe where they work), the power is fine.
IFixit – Teardown of the Original Sony PlayStation
The staff travels because they host conferences around the world several times a year. Conferences I've attended many times, and which are more than full work days for the attendees and the staff. Typically a day at an IETF meeting starts at 9AM, officially ends at 5PM, but then side meetings, bar BoFs, impromptu hackathons, and so on, will take you to near midnight almost every day -- it's exhausting (the staff probably doesn't work such long days, but ISOC officers probably do). There is no time left for sight-seeing, except maybe on the one night where there is a social event.

They host conferences around the world because attendees to the conferences in question are from around the world, and because ISOC wants to attract more of them.

I'm prepared to listen to real arguments about why ISOC sucks. But yours are either uninformed or you're not explaining them well enough. My bet is on the former. ISOC is not a charity, just a non-profit, and they've done quite well at keeping the IETF/IRTF and related groups going for decades.

Another thing you need to understand is that most SDOs (standards developing organizations) are pay-to-play. ANSI, OASIS, IEEE, Unicode Consortium, ... -- all pay-to-play. IETF? Free to participate. You don't even have to go to the meetings. Sure, participation == time == money, but being so accessible is a wonderful thing, and it takes an ISOC to keep it so.
