But what countries are that?

As far as I know, most followed US hegemony, and for example in germany it was legal, but very hard to get permission to grow hemp. So only small uses like for making rope and birdfood.

So I also believe demand and supply for various things will grow.
I really like for example, that nowdays you can get organic hemp seeds in the supermarket. It gets more in fashion, because it is nice and quite healthy.
But no, hemp will probably not disrupt big industries. It might disrupt the alcohol industrie a bit though, when it is widespread legal.
Can't you just not connect it to wifi?
IPAs are some of the simplest beers to brew and they also happen to be very in demand, hence the glut of overly-hopped beers.
The lowest hanging fruit article I can dig up from memory is this: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/01/eff-pries-more-transpa...

The title and first paragraph set an unnecessary tone. There are ways to say the same thing which aren't immediately off-putting to those not "on your side" yet.
Maybe only allow them if you have a certain reputation/points like downvoting and flagging has? Then if it’s abused, remove that privilege for that person (IIUC, flag rights can be revoked)
fwiw - Apple is also working on a similar setup to sandbox corporate apps from personal (with restrictions in between)
Monitoring personal communications benefits them if they're concerned that you might be sharing company secrets. The work profile gives them the ability to remotely install apps, so they have pretty wide latitude to take advantage of any vulnerabilities on your phone.
Thanks for the info! I understand fairly well how software companies are valued. I, and probably many others, am just interested in a number/ballpark.
Assuming you have no native dependencies, which most bigger applications have somewhere in their dependency graph.
The performance won't be the same though, as things might be much more optimised for x86-64.
Is the contract in your name and you pay the bill yourself and then expense it? Or is the contract in company's name they get full itemized bill from the carrier? If it is the latter, it sucks.
Python libraries frequently aren't only in Python, and use native bindings. Node packages less so, but it still happens.

Java might surprise you, too, especially on EMR. I've found math, compression, and machine learning libraries that reach out to native code using JNI.
I wonder how much of the performance delta is due to the mitigations for the branch prediction vulnerabilities.
The WSJ article makes me feel better about strongly urging a family member against an investment in a hemp farm in 2018. They used an unrealistic value for the price of CBD in their projections and didn't account for a decrease in the price over the next few years.

But besides that, it was one of the worst business plans I'd ever seen. I couldn't tell if they were just inept, or were scam artists looking for gullible investors.
I'm probably missing something here but why not just disconnect the TV from the ethernet/wifi? Are these things connecting themselves to the network?
Looking on the WireGuard site, it says that it's still a work in progress that "may contain security quirks", but they also say "already it might be regarded as the most secure, easiest to use, and simplest VPN solution in the industry." Both statements could be true, but I guess it's up to you whether or not you want to wait for a 1.0 release.
In the London terrorist knife attack a few days ago, the killer had a fake bomb vest on, he was already neutralised but police shot him when he showed them the fake vest. There'll be an investigation whether this shooting was justified. It probably is, because they probably thought the vest was real and he was about to trigger the detonator, but I'm glad there's still scrutiny of lethal police action.
And this is why I do not have any access to work accounts on my phone.

If it's so important that it must be done during my personal time then my manager can call me and request as much.

"because industrial hemp (as opposed to cannabis hemp)"

Are they really growing that much more efficient?
Cannabis hemp was also intensively optimised for grow since generations.
The 20 minute reserve requirement is for VFR conditions only. The 30 minute reserve requirement that I cited is for IFR conditions. If Kitty Hawk wants to sell a certified aircraft that can be used for revenue passenger flights then I assume it will have to meet the IFR requirements, but perhaps the FAA will reach a different decision?

I give it five years before TVs with built-in 5G are mainstream. In addition, some TVs automatically connect to open WiFi.
Not really. One of the major complications is that considering an index uncached might become a self fulfilling prophecy. Not using an index because it isn't cached leads to the index never becoming cached, even if long term it would be the better choice. In other cases the cached fraction might be tiny, but it is the option being actively used.
Next step would be blocking temporary emails domains, which is a rabbit hole, and also adding captcha to the verify I guess.

Also allowing only hotmail/gmail/etc might help
Sure.

But once you are out the escape hatch you will need to model both the new space you are working in, AND model the world you escaped from in order to interoperate, which is a special hell.
Because, unlike with guns, nobody is trying to ban cars.

And to the most common objection: yes they are. Gun control proponents often bring up and praise the UK (near total ban) and Australia (significant limitations compared to the U.S.) as examples to emulate.

And in Chicago and DC, before the Supreme Court cases, there were effectively total bans. And when the plaintiffs sued, they didn't say, "well I guess we went a little too far, let's establish a regulated framework under which responsible, qualified and trained citizens can own guns". Instead, they went all the way to the Supreme Court to try to defend their bans.

So, even if a gun owner agrees with a particular piece of proposed regulation (and I'm sure plenty do), they would be acting against their own long term interests giving the block trying to ban guns political momentum and capital.

How else could corporate IT possibly do it?

A contractor can deduct work expenses from income, a phone is just one item on a long list of things that will be deducted.

If there is corporate information on a device, it would be a breach of their fiduciary responsibility not to manage that device and have the ability to remotely wipe that data.

Safety, very much like security, needs to be built in during the design phase - or you're trading off the development cost for an expensive retrofit while gambling with the risk of killing the project (or even setting back that entire class of transportation) by killing people.
Many of them throw continuous error messages and warnings about connectivity, and some features just plain don't work without it.
I'm not sure if that's a joke (maybe that's why it got downvoted).

But the answer is that 32 is not better than 16, which is not better than 8, in this specific case. The bit count here is about memory efficiency. There are developers who think/thought that UTF-32 would improve random access into strings because it's a fixed-sized encoding of codepoints, but in fact it does not because there are glyphs that require multiple codepoints.

All who pass must abandon the idea of random access into Unicode strings!

Once you give up on Unicode string random access, you can focus on other reasons to like one UTF over another, and then you quickly realize that UTF-8 is the best by far.

For example there's this misconception that UTF-8 takes significantly (e.g., 50%) more space than UTF-16 when handling CJK, but that's not obviously true -- I've seen statistical analyses showing that UTF-8 is roughly comparable to UTF-16 in this regard.

Ultimately UTF-8 is much easier to retrofit into older systems that use ASCII, it's much easier to use in libraries and programs that were designed for ASCII, and doesn't have the fundamental 21-bit codespace limit that UTF-16 has.
I did not know about LibGen until this post. Too bad for me living in a cave. Anyways this is amazing project. Best luck to them and similar efforts.
It is quite odd, the dominance of IPA. I wasn't aware of it until I walked in Rodman's in NW Washington, DC, and found that what appeared to be 80% of the American beer offerings were IPAs of one sort another.
Tabs first shrink, then scroll as you add more. At least thats the behavior on Linux in v70.
The shrinking behavior infuriates a lot of people too, by making it impossible to find the tab you want. That's my experience with Chrome, at least.

Setting the "browser.tabs.tabMinWidth" preference to 0 in Firefox will let the tabs shrink down fairly small (to just the favicon and maybe one letter of the title). If you want the tabs to shrink even more than that, I'd like to understand why, other than "it's what I'm used to". Which, to be clear, is a perfectly valid reason to want something!
Came here to say a similar thing. The reaction can say a lot about the person's opinion/impression of you. It might be too much to try to correct for other people's insecurities; however, if you find that a large portion of people get upset by your phrasing, then it might be worth it to consider how you present yourself in general to others. It might just be you.
Yes, the memo from Google makes it seem that, however they don't just come out and say it clearly... probably because they can't, or can't yet, confirm who leaked what if anything.

An interesting question for Google to answer would be how many Google employees have accessed/crawled all the internal data. Considering the sort of talent, curiosity, and technical skills that Google hires I would expect that the four fired workers are not unique in that regard.

This is a west coast phenomenon, I’ve found the Midwest and east coast to have a lot more variety. It feels in Seattle like beer bars have a “token” stout in the same way that they have a single house wine. Hops must be what sells though.
>Why do we care what advertisers want? Use regulation to force ad-funded companies to allow people to...

Why should the government care what users want? How much money are users going to pay for lobbyists to lobby for this regulation you desire? None, of course. But advertisers will happily pay lots of money to lobby congresspeople to keep the laws advertiser-friendly.
Good point... now I kind of hope thus escalates to Google itself for never deleting data and having trade secrets
Rename VLC to “TRAFFIC CONE GLYPH”?
I love plain text, and generally agree with the principles here.

That said, I think it's important to remember that plain text is still a binary format under the hood. Its power comes from its simplicity and many independent implementations. There's a lesson there for designing software in general, especially APIs and protocols.

I also think it's somewhat unfortunate that breaking changes were made to the plain text "API" along the way, in the form of Unicode. Unicode is great, but I wish it wasn't conflated so much with the original plain text. Plus it adds significant complexity. Sure, you can view a plain text file from 1991 in today's editors, but you can't view a Unicode file in an editor from 1991. And it's not apparent to the user why that is.
> Whether this was a legitimate policy change or a change simply made to find reasons to fire activists, I don't know.

From the outside it seems like a very legitimate policy change. If my co-workers are stalking my calendar to find meetings they politically disagree with so they can pressure me and/or leak it to the press, well that's super creepy. I think this is a perfect example of why "full transparency" can actually be conducive to a toxic working environment.

Even if it wasn't formally against the rules the intent behind that type of stalking should get anyone who engages in it fired. It's literally harassment. I think Google's change in policy is for the best here as it codifies common sense.
I wonder why they didn't launch i3 style instances. Would ARM give benefit in IO heavy workloads?
And even more so in the Pacific Northwest, relatively close to the hop-growing area in central WA, and full of small craft breweries.
I said automation and skilled trades jobs. The people who build, program, and maintain the automation for manufacturing. Some of them are union and some are not, but they all pay decent. I didnt mean the basic assembly line jobs, but those are needed too.
Main charities I donate money to:

* GiveWell — it would allocate funds as necessary and provide those to campaigns/organizations that have been vetted and found to be the best on EA (Effective Altruism) metrics.

* Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) — this also works somewhat similar to GiveWell, though the quality of information available on effectiveness in this area isn’t as strong as how it is with helping human causes (they GiveWell analyzes). Good Food Institute is one of the recommendations by ACE.

I also donate to a few more organizations and projects, including (but not limited to), Mozilla, Mozilla Thunderbird, Tor Project, Videolan (VLC), Document Foundation (LibreOffice), Free Software Foundation, Internet Archive, Wikipedia and some Firefox browser extensions.
It's a lot easier to grow hemp than build out the manufacturing infrastructure to produce products with it, so this glut should have been expected.

"There are no industrial uses of hemp to the degree that advocates claim."

That's a leap too far, especially considering the current chaotic state of the laws governing its use. There are surely advocates that also make leaps too far but the truth about the potential resides in the known uses, which are many, and those yet to come, which are also likely to be many.

Since China has a head start working on this we can assume it's likely they will be leaders in both hemp production and manufacturing hemp based products, and we can only blame ourselves if they are. But that still doesn't mean that the U.S won't invest in processing hemp grown here into useful and profitable products and when it does the cost and profits of production will stabilize.

In theory, that's not enough to keep them offline, if coded deviously enough.

If your neighbor, for example, has a syndicated WIFI like Fios or Xfinity, your TV can try those. Also, it has 24/7 free time to sit there and break passwords, if needed. Even a slow CPU would score some eventually. And finally, the room is probably full of other devices which themselves may have connections; a TV can communicate ultrasonically with those to exfiltrate your data.

if you're willing to assume that Google is willing to violate their presumably legally-enforceable policy that they will not view the items in the "personal profile", then one could assume that they would probably also be willing to read data from any Android device. so better tell all of your friends to never use Android or any other Google service.
We already have the interrobang, no? So why not this?
> This does, in a privacy context, make perfect sense. At the same time, it is ground zero for how privacy regulation can often be at odds with encouraging competition

No it's not.

According to the article: Facebook could argue that letting me export who I'm friends with (the "social graph") would run afoul of privacy regulations, because that data belongs to my friends, not me.

But if that's the case, why was I able to give this data to Facebook to begin with? It wasn't mine to give, right?

I can completely understand the logic that my contact list shouldn't "belong" to me. However, if we as a society want to proceed down that road, a service like Facebook can never exist.

As long as Facebook exists, my contact list is clearly my property, and I should be able to export it.
I don't get entirely why people want or expect to store UTF-32 in memory for any substantial period. It makes more sense to me as: if you need to process codepoint at a time, parse from UTF-8 or UTF-16 in a codepoint-at-a-time fashion, leaving only ~1 codepoint decoded at a time.

People seem to think that 1 codepoint = 1 integer frees you from thinking Unicode is hard. But 1 codepoint is not 1 glyph. You have combining characters, zero-width joiners [used also in emojis], RTL markers, Han unification, probably more. So you can't really think of a Unicode string as a random-access, one-glyph-per-unit type of thing in any encoding.

So I hope when people say "UTF-32 support" they mean "decode UTF-8".
I often put tape over my laptop cameras for on location business meetings etc but you can't do this with my HCL smart TV at home as it is hidden behind the screen, hard to know where the microphone is located too.
I'd like to know and think this sort of information should be legally enforced in personal digital rights legislation and the right to disable all outbound connectivity
I have a Samsung and didn't normally have it connected to the network. One day I got curious to see what apps it had and set it up on my wireless network thinking I can just restore the tv to it's factory settings. Nope. A factory restore keeps your network info stored. It doesn't connect, mind you, but it doesn't wipe it.

Dumb TVs simply do not exist anymore for all practical purposes. The common advice is to get a commercial or hospitality panel but that advice is outdated, those all have smart features now, too.

At the same time, folks all over the internet like to mention finding dumb TVs but never provide links, model names, or even just brand names. Why? I've looked pretty hard and can't find any actual verified dumb TVs that are actually for sale anywhere. The top comment in this post at the time of this writing directly mentions finding a buying a smart TV, but provides no further details.
I don't know what kind of operations you're doing, but I started having issues for anything that's not trivial. Perhaps those are achievable, but then in addition to knowing SQL I also need to know ORM (which is also different per language)

Some things:

- to make my application scalable I want two endpoints one that is read only, that goes to replicas and one that goes to master for modification. That way in my application I have full control which queries go to replica and which need master

- use datatypes that are recommended by the database

- do upsert

- do select and only return fields that I need

- perform insert and return only fields that I want (my ORM was performing another select)

- ORM also does bunch of queries that I don't need, I don't want it to add extra load to database if I never use the results of it

Those are very simple things, but I'm also curious how you can do some advanced operations like group by having, window functions, CTEs, aggregate functions that return JSONB structure (so you don't have to send duplicate data and avoid N+1 queries). How do you use PostGIS?

Military is a bad example.

I can tell you from experience, it's not a place that runs on "groupthink", or "consensus" views. A decision is made by a decision maker, and that decision is implemented. In the military they even have the "mind guards" that "insulate leadership from criticism" that were mentioned in another comment. Only in the military, we call them "NCO's".

You can be diametrically opposed to a decision in the military if you like. Heck, you can think whatever you want in the military, because no one cares what you think.
Is there a particular client you use or would recommend? I’ve used irssi on and off in the past, and bitchx occasionally, but I’d be curious to know what’s popular today.
A girl I used to date had a company phone. She was getting these racy random messages that, what appeared to be, were lewd conversations between two other employees, or two random someones, presumably on the same system. I found that hilarious.
The public may learn more as the cases hit the courts. If Google claims they fired the employees for reasons other than union-busting, there will be evidence to present from both sides.
Dysfunctional companies produce buzzword laden or metric based management. (As opposed to good software.)

Lean is not a software development methodology. It is made for factories and production lines, a terrible fit for most kinds of software. The only salvageable parts from it is iteration and listening to frontline workers to get process improvements.
"Autonomation"/Poke Yoke as in automated tests.
Which is not enough of a methodology.

The "Lean for software" page gives contradictory definition of waste - you're supposed to minimize defects while at the same time minimizing rework. I'd like a crystal ball that enables it. Plus you cannot apply it without absolute control over the whole development process. Any place that is a black box (say, both set of features and deadlines are given) the process. Thus it fails in corporate environment.

Likewise, general agile methodologies are easily perverted into what I just described - by skipping refactoring and redesign parts in service of deadlines.
That model works only if you throw things away like startups do or the project is small and self-contained.

Usually small projects are low value or grow big. C.f. Twitter or YouTube when it started and now. Even worse if you get to interact with quickly changing parts controlled by another team you do not control in even a medium sized project.
Now we've switched to talking about efficiency. Which is another matter - we spend 40 hours at work for some reason, but most of us don't need that much time to provide enough value to justify our salaries. Seems silly, right?

A stem cell treatment provider recently lost a court case where they argued they're not subject to FDA approval, claiming it's not a medication, drug, or treatment. That seems like an untenable position to me.
Yeah, people keep saying 5G is important for the internet of things. This is surely what they mean.
