True. However, you can learn a specific skill under the umbrella of cooking in that time.

One time I bought a 50 pound bag of onions and practiced cutting/dicing/etc for an hour plus.
These days, I cut up an onion (or multiple onions) very nearly on a daily basis in my cooking at home.

I do believe it's a Whisper drive Chamberlain, I measured it somewhere around 15W around the clock. $10/year or so.

You might think I'm just unlucky, but it turns out most of them are like that.
You left out the paragraph introducing this in the footnote:

> We did not include special instruction-set support for overflow checks on integer arithmetic
operations in the base instruction set, as many overflow checks can be cheaply implemented using
RISC-V branches.

So this boils down to "there's no platform overflow (V) flag", which is also a problem on other RISC systems, and is in any case rarely used in C code because it doesn't check for overflow.
> It's not 'competition' that people are afraid of, it is unfair government intervention and tariffs.

People aren't afraid of that either, they are afraid of the rise in cost of living compared to the tepid rise of their wages.
I do say the deployed system ends up being multiple instances of my single server, which synchronize with one another. Those are separate physical devices each running my one server. Additionally, when a backup runs the data is stored locally as well as on a physical storage device separate from the hardware it is running. Typically clients already have a firewall/router which is used to distribute requests to the various instances. My deployed systems are not one server, they become a server mesh.

I have seen those underground trash containers in Marseille, France, which also has tiny (old) streets.
I suspect that NYC could benefit from those underground trash containers, especially in the most popular places, including the park. Picking those underground containers could eventually be automated (https://hackaday.com/2017/07/13/automate-the-freight-the-rob...).
According to underground garbage site (https://www.elkoplast.eu/underground-containers), advantages are:
- a significantly higher collection point capacity, all the container capacity is moved underground,
- collection frequency reduction, leading to lower costs and reducing negative impacts on the environment (less CO2 emissions, less noise and traffic),
- all the waste is stored below the ground level with lower and more stable temperature, slowing waste decomposition and odor reduction,
- waste is stored up to a height of 2.7 m, resulting in better compaction by its own weight,
- reduction of vandalism and the possibility of re-collecting waste, incl. access of animals,
- aesthetic appearance and cleanliness of the collection point that does not overflow with garbage,
- access restriction using a card (option),
- remote filling monitoring (option).
I second you. All stake holders will always say that it's critical. And they will make you work on weekends. My experience from consultancy.
Yes, I've seen stuff like that. In a guide for IVPN a couple years ago, I looked at a few examples more carefully. I say more about that in this subthread.[0] One of their network engineers helped me understand what was going on with their servers in Zurich, Reykjavik and Salt Lake City. As I recall, we found that two of their Swiss servers, in different data centers, had no direct peering. One peered with the other via Milan.

I also played around with placing my own probes, using VPS hosting that peered with VPN server hosting. Using information from https://bgp.he.net/. But that's too tedious for general use.

In this work, I basically ignored it. And focused on testing for plausible signal velocity.

Still, I do agree that it's an interesting problem. Maybe I can learn enough to make it doable.

I think the thing that you’re not addressing though is that this isn’t a national problem, it’s global. Australia isn’t on fire just because there are too many people within the borders of Australia, it’s on fire because of global changes caused by growing populations that don’t care about being sustainable.
>Which ones do you have in mind specifically?

It's almost easier to ask the inverse, what modern "crowd movement" has had lasting effects at all? I'm thinking of big ones like Occupy, or Remain, or the Women's Marches, or Extinction Rebellion for really recent. What actual, tangible change did they directly effect? What concrete legislation? The US civil rights movement actually ultimately resulted in the enormous Civil Rights Act of 1964. Various movements created a full umbrella group, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, to coordinate lobbying efforts and help translate public will into Congressional action. And it was needed, because passage was fought vigorously all the way to the end, with heavy filibustering, rule maneuvering, etc. It passed not through some grand awakening but through sustained, multi-faceted application of power, including skillful use of grubby politics by supporters. And of course even it's passing was still only part of a process, there was resistance to implementation, lawsuits, and on and on. Yet none of that diminished the accomplishment or the lasting effect it's had on society.

I'm definitely worried there is an increasing movement towards flashy, feel-good and "exciting" efforts without the necessary accompanying political party effort needed to actually do the work of translating popular will into concrete power. And as there isn't an unlimited budget of political capital or popular attention there really is something of a zero-sum aspect to all this, if people are spending their time and resources on ineffective measures that's quite harmful. We need full carbon cost internalization for example, which will not just dramatically aid in finding the most efficient ways to go carbon neutral but also be helpful in the critical next step of going carbon negative. Protests are likely a necessary component of getting carbon cost internalization laws passed, but we do in fact need those laws passed so while necessary they're not sufficient.
The truth about Ghosn is that he was committing fraud while living in a country that also happens to have an awful judicial system. There isn't a virtuous side in this conflict, there's just two shady entities working against one another.
I think you're underestimating just how much the bloomberg terminal backend does. It's 40 years of obscure functions packed in to one massive binary.
Not particularly well informed on this, just want to point out to those trying to decide between scenario 1 (Ghosn broke the law with impunity because he was a CEO and felt entitled) and scenario 2 (Ghosn is really being persecuted for being a non-Japanese CEO of a Japanese company), that it is logically possible for both to be true. In other words, like Martha Stewart, he might not have been doing anything that his peers weren't also doing, but also doing things that were illegal.

Of course, the fact that scenarios 1 and 2 are not incompatible, is not proof that they both happened, just pointing out that it is logically possible for both to be true.
Laws should only be passed when you’re harming someone else.

The US has a long history of passing laws governing morality even if it isn’t harming anyone else from segregation, to laws against interracial marriage, to laws banning homosexuality.
For me the sentences such as:

Nissan was paying all or some of the costs at some amount of US$18 million for residences used by Ghosn in Rio de Janeiro, Beirut, Paris and Amsterdam, and Ghosn charged family vacation expenses to the company

sound like pure BS ... that the CEO of a company that sells 10 million cars per year charged a family vacation ... none of us are aware of what his contract states, what he was promised etc.

Jumping on the "criminal CEO" bandwagon is tiring stuff. MY hat off to Mr. Gosh, not only did he manage well three gigantic companies, he managed himself just as well, skipped the BS charges and got himself out of Japan. That's a genius manager right there.

Performance evaluations are subjectivity masquerading as objectivity.

> In each of these cases, I brought these issues to HR and senior executives and was assured the problems would be handled. Yet in each case, there was no follow up to address the concerns — until the day I was accidentally copied on an email from a senior HR director. In the email, the HR director told a colleague that I seemed to raise concerns like these a lot, and instructed her to “do some digging” on me instead.

Then, despite being rated and widely known as one of the best people managers at the company, despite 11 years of glowing performance reviews and near-perfect scores on Google’s 360-performance evaluations, and despite being a member of the elite Foundation Program reserved for Google’s “most critical talent” who are “key to Google’s current and future success,” I was told there was no longer a job for me as a result of a “reorganization,” despite 90 positions on the policy team being vacant at the time.

You can still end up with the jarring flash. Say you delay 100ms--if the action takes 120ms, you have the same problem.
That's certainly not unique, though the amount of effort put into it will vary. In Germany a typical response to an accident hotspot might be putting up extra signage (e.g. no passing, lower speed limit, Difficult Curves Ahead), adding or moving/changing a traffic light, speedbumps, speed checks etc.

Major, expensive stuff like changing the routing or curvature is pretty rare and most likely to happen if the road is reworked anyway.
> Isn’t this fairly typical for Japanese corporations, that senior management might have their home paid for by the company?

There are also the funds paid to companies affiliated with his wife and son. Both Nissan and Renault’s Boards found these surprising, which is ultimately why he lost the latter’s support.

There are smells on both sides. The simplest explanation is Ghosn is dirty and the Japanese criminal justice system is biased. The fact that the former is now an international fugitive somewhat simplifies his criminality in most jurisdictions.
And then also, many pedestrians see the walk sign and just start crossing while staring at their phone without even glancing around to be sure there aren't any inattentive drivers heading their way.

If "by all appearances" you mean "according to one autobiographical blog post". My default is empathy because it feels good and costs me nothing, but I don't think authorities have the same luxury when considering the claims of arbitrary individuals who could easily be pathological liars. The Bay Area tech ethos of "disruption" often boils down to bending or flaunting the rules to achieve what you think is a worthy goal, and this guy obviously felt the calling of San Francisco quite strongly. Now you're telling me there's no way a person who spent all those years single-mindedly focused on long term residence in SF would ever check the wrong box on a form if he thought it would somehow improve his chances of achieving a lifelong goal?
I remember, in the mid-1980s, I was attending an event called MacHack (long since gone the way of the dodo).
There was an Australian gentleman there, who was writing database code as a contractor for the Sultan of Oman.
It was basically a "people tracker," and he expressed misgivings about its use (not enough to prevent him from taking the money, though).

In the US, people think that keeping guns is some sort of guarantor of freedom.

I posit that the computer database is the single biggest threat to freedom on Earth. It's just a bit more difficult to understand databases, so we ignore them, and keep updating our Facebook status.

> According to the US Census Bureau, a $12k/yr income would put you below the poverty line

The federal poverty line for the lower 48 states is $12,490. Is your objection only that you want to make the UBI $12,500 instead of $12,000?

Notice that you could also make up the other $500 by working a minimum wage job for less than two weeks out of the year.

Posting the share price at the end of your post is reasonable, sure. But to be fair to Ghosn, much of Nissan's success in the past 20 years can be attributed to him - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46321097

Doesn't excuse any alleged crimes, but I didn't think it was entirely fair to surmise his career at Nissan with a reference to today's share price. Despite all that's written about CEOs, salaries, and correlated efficacy...
We seem to communicate pretty well with dolphins, elephants, and other animals. Consider trainers who work with these animals on a daily basis and have rich and productive relationships with them.
No, not at all. Japan has some of the most egalitarian CEO pay in developed countries.

Ghosn exploited his position and muddied waters. He paid himself 3 CEO salaries and yet continuously claimed to be under paid.

To claim Nissan, an entity Ghosn controlled, was somehow equally as guilty is what-about-ism.

So, IOW, they became what every other big company has become. It's not about employees. It's not about customers. It's not about product. It's only about returning every penny they possibly can to shareholders.

Escaping state surveillance from Japan and then landing up in Lebanon via Turkey while the Japanese government has all three of one’s passports pretty much requires breaking lots of laws in at least three countries. (Likely more, e.g. money laundering.)

One could argue this was a rightful fleeing of persecution. But it complicates the picture on many levels.

EDIT: looks like he kept a second French passport [1]. He would have only had to break many laws in two countries, mostly around aviation and declaration.

It was no different in the workplace culture. Senior colleagues bullied and screamed at young women, causing them to cry at their desks.

An unfortunate fact that catches many by surprise is that bullying is not against company policy in some of the FAANGs. In fact, some of them were founded by bullies and have a culture that glorifies such behavior.

Excellent points here! Very likely scenario.

I have yet to see any major achievement that did not "break" law in some way. Remember laws are made for "regular" boring folks to keep them in line. They cannot accommodate massive radical reorganizations. On the other hand the Japanese sure look like they wanted to make a scapegoat and dish out exemplary punishment.
