Great question, I am working on a follow up blog that will explain the differences in more detail. Flyte does take some inspiration from airflow, but it has a lot of important differences
- Flyte natively understands data flow between tasks. This is achieved using its own type system created in protobuf
- Flyte tasks are first class citizens and hence can be shared, reused and are always associated with an interface declaration
- Flyte is container and kibernetes native. It is also multi tenant.
- Flyte corn scheduler, control plane api and the actual execution engine are decoupled. Each workflow can be independently executed on a different execution engine
- Flyte workflows are purely specification - defined in protobuf and Flyte tasks also
- Flyte provides an event stream of the execution
- since Flyte is aware of the data, it comes with built in memorization and auto cataloging
- like airflow Flyte can have plugins in python, but it supports a richer plugin interface
- Flyte is written in Golang and on top of kuberenetes
It is definitely less mature in the open source, so please help us make it better. But it has been battle tested at Lyft for more than 3 years in production.
This is a Firefox bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1415146
Here's a question: would anyone here actually buy a hypothetical Sony car or an Apple car? Why? What would make you buy an Apple or Sony or Google car versus one from a more established automaker?

Obviously Sony has said they're not planning on actually making this car, but if they did... why would you buy it?
What is your use case for low latency? I understand that some want it for bluetooth headsets for videogames, where milliseconds mater - but beyond that?

Also what about AptX LL? Or LLAC?

Which in my opinion makes the "goes pro" statement misleading. Without proper JTAG/SWD debugging functionalities, how do you program anything serious on Arduino?
There are plenty of companies that just want results. They don't want to deal with the hassle of online developers they don't and can't trust. Start as a consultant and get a great reputation and you'll have more work than you want. Also get advice on the best practices. It's easy to get locked into contracts that are just not worth doing.
> But it doesn't make mounting a novel shattered attack "much harder" as Linus claims.

From what I understood the core of Linus' argument[1] is that it's very hard to make a "bad" variant of the code which has the same length _and_ the same hash while still looking like sane code. For random data files, sure those are more at risk.

Not a fan of those sprawling dashboards. Drivers are distracted enough.
Unfortunately I don't know enough about it to offer an opinion on this specific case. I only know it will pay only part of the promised benefits. But from other pension plans I've seen, this happens because the plan is undercapitalized. This usually happens because of:

a) missing employer contribution to the fund on every paycheck
b) mismanagement of the fund

The second point can be very varied and only limited by imagination, from embezzlement to government action. I've seen laws passed in the past passed about being able to take a loan on certain public pension funds without interest, which shows the complete lack of understanding about how these pensions are supposed to work and the actuarial math behind it.

Tax incentives stifle competition. Just reduce taxes across the board.
Great comment!

I wonder if the newer low-self-discharge batteries might get you even more lengthy usage times. Something like a gen 2 Eneloop lite can hold onto 60% of its capacity after five years[1], which is just plain insane.

> Just yesterday we were all ogling over the salaries offered to engineers by the various top dogs in the valley. Anyone who works in tech on one of these salaries, and then turns around to complain about their collective rights... It all just feels incredibly childish to me.

Also, the concern over all the requisite 'woke' issues incongruously combined with hoarding enough filthy lucre to have FU money by 35 is amusing - a person like this might be described as a 'Champagne socialist' in the UK.
I think the existing framework is largely broken for skilled workers in the US.

These unions have not evolved in decades, they're not going to. Many of these unions actively protect long time workers who are just running out the clock, refuse to advance their skills, and put up barriers to deal with them... to the detriment of new union members, and they do it by design.

Keep in mind once you pick a union ... that's it, there's no need for that union to change, there is no competition.
But you'll care a hell of a lot about what other people think of you when that thinking is the difference between having food on the table for your kids, or seeing them go hungry.

That's generally why people give so much of a shit about resume values.
Thanks!

Yup, I felt the irony myself creating it, as I actually love clojure!

But I'm most comfortable with Go, and it results with a single binary for any of the major platforms with very quick startup time (as illustrated by the small benchmark), so those were huge advantages.
With competitors such as Kuiper Systems and OneWeb planning on launching similar networks, and Starlink attempting to procure approval for a total of 42,000 satellites, it's possible that looking through a pair of binoculars in 2030 would reveal more satellites than stars.

It would seem like it should.
I'm not crazy, things are listening, Part 2
I was just in the elevator with a colleague at work. He told me that over Christmas break, he built custom 'Loft' beds for his kids, with desks positioned under the beds. I mentioned that my kids would like that, too, and we both agreed that bunk beds are fun.

5 minutes later, I'm on boingboing.net, which then presented me with an ad for "Bunk Bed with Desk -- Custom Built to Order" at the bottom of the page I was reading.

I had NOT searched or even typed anything about 'bunk beds' in any application.

I do have a Huawei Mate SE Android phone in my pocket.

Very strange...

FYI, my previous, similar post is here:

Also, please don't take this as an accusation against Huawei -- I'm actually very happy with the phone.
His argument seems to be that much of what people call “crunch” is actually a labor of love, and that a norm discouraging overtime would discourage the level of personal investment that’s necessary to make great games.
Lots of people need S classes... professional drivers for luxury coach services. Get an Elantra and your revenue goes to $0. People need the new Arduino if the scenario being implemented requires it.
Tips to improve your UX portfolio
It is literally a rate. It is the rate of bytes added per block (which by the system's design is once per ~10 minutes).

Increasing supply above demand radically drops fee rates. That is the logical, predicted, and observed behavior-- both in Bitcoin and in other similar systems.
I wonder if this makes it more likely or less likely that Apple releases a car someday. On the one hand, this has set a precedent for a consumer tech company making an EV. On the other hand, perhaps Sony has (exclusive) partnerships with several of the complementary companies.
>I have made that on a single property (short term vacation rentals)

Not going to make assumptions about your specific case, but many people using AirBnB are breaking the law and/or are vastly under-insured to be renting out property short-term. One lawsuit or accident and any "profits" (and much more) will be wiped out.

Real-estate is an old, mature business. There's no magic in how to make money in it, nor are their outsized benefits.
In my experience, women react very negatively to my tears.

(And as for "toxic masculinity", wouldn't this be better described as "toxic femininity"?)
You're welcome.

I'd rather judge and shame bad parents now than have to deal with their poorly behaved offspring later in society.
If you have the option to go for it, I would question whether avoiding trying to buy a house is smart compared with renting, assuming that's the alternative.

If you can't keep up payments on a house purchase, you can still sell it (or the foreclosing bank will), and if that happens after a few years to cover costs, probably still come out ahead compared with renting.
If unions seek to serve industries of the future, are they prepared to demonstrate how they have radically overhauled themselves compared to how they have operated from the last 100 years?

Disruption is leaving no industry or group operating according to the economies of the past safe.

It would be interesting to see what a new union, designed from the ground up would look and operate like for the knowledge worker age, instead of an industrial worker age.
Never underestimate low self-esteem. It's a bitch to be around and so obvious it's caused be deeper issues.

My own subjective belief about male subjects around this matter - success and fame - , is circeling around father-issues and the lack of gratitude and applause from him.

I have worked with so many 9f these kinds, and IT is full of them. Most of these people are boring, exactly because their goals lean towards being someone or something. Ego-centric and primadonna individuals who will run you over, if they can be successful.

Decency is lost and forgotten virtue in too many people. But in the end, they will realize that being a success will not make you happy and What a waste of time.

Also, What is it you want to be known for? A frame work? An app?

Give me a break. Your grandkids will have forgotten you by the time they have their own kids.

I don't have a lot of money, but I am so successful you can't measure it.
Not an issue. I'm older than you by a few years and I'm looking for a new job. I have 5 onsites lined up with more to come. Age hasn't been an issue except for expectations at places like Google that want to interview and hire me at L6+ level which I know I'm not good enough for, hence why I was never hired. Otherwise I'm not concerned... yet.

I am an IC so I make sure my code is top notch, which means I need to LC for weeks before I'm ready for the onsites.
Not quite, a positive result would need to be obvious to justify spending. Give away a free factory and the most useful thing to use it for does not change thus the company employees the same number of workers. It’s a function of cheap capital making infrastructure subsidies really expensive and largely worthless.

There is probably some occasional benefit here and there, but that occurs with any kind of spending. But that’s offset by the usual inefficiency associated with command driven economies.

PS: I was personally hopping for the opposite result as these subsides can spread out jobs across the US.
YES! This has been bothering me for so long. I'm shocked it's taken them this long to iron it out. I hope the device manufacturers implement it soon.

Edit: on second read, I'm not so sure LE Audio will address this issue.

"Multi-Stream Audio will enable the transmission of multiple, independent, synchronized audio streams between an audio source device, such as a smartphone, and one or more audio sink devices."

This sounds like it's referring to stereo or other multichannel audio, not bidirectional. Hopefully I'm wrong.
>That’s dead wrong. I would need at least $300k to make a family of 4 comfortable here.

The Bay Area has a combined population of over 7 million, with a mean household income of $137k. It sounds like you have unreasonable expectations if you need at least $300k to live comfortably.

I have personally implemented discarding the top-n (small n, like 3-5) most similar results in a recommendation system as well as adding a totally random item in the results but it was a small scale system.

The top-n removal was a small but noticeable amount better. That was in part due to the specific content in the database as well as the audience, but it's a thing to try I believe.

These are often transmitted over audio induction loop already.
General purpose for anything that is long-running. I mean more than a few seconds.

In my case, we use it to power web api, backend systems, databases, IOT devices. Anything that is not a "cli" thing basically. It is not the best for desktop GUI app because it lacks a deep framework for that, but it works well with it if you can make past that hump.

It is not good at:
- smartphone app. That is mostly due to the walled garden that these devices are
- CLI tools
- Systems engineering
- on the fly scripting
- That basically is it

Have we even defined 'intelligent' might mean? As in, we had the Turing test as a bar and we are close to that already. What is intelligence then, last I checked, there wasn't a definitive answer do it. We'll need it so that we can label AI as I properly - or maybe we don't care so much... If it's close enough...

You are supposed to post with the actual title, "Evaluating State and Local Business Tax Incentives", unless it is too long.
any centralized platform that gains significant traction will inevitably fuck w/ some of its users for their own ends. i think as a creator either owning the platform yourself (impractical for almost every1) or something decentralized would be ideal. that way you don't give anyone a veto over your destiny.

to replace youtube, it'd have to be both decentralized video delivery, discovery, social as well as decentralized monetization -- which i think could be patreon style or mayyyybe some sort of ad delivery.

not sure what legal ramfications would be exactly, but i certainly hope we aren't in a place were otherwise-valid enterprises would be banned unless you could (impossibly) prove kids weren't using it.

(also there have historically been lots of people making $ off providing targeted-to-kids content (toy unboxing, slime videos, tasting candy, &c), and it's not clear to me that's a bad thing...?)
> Fox News, for example, started conservative but far less radical.

Fox News was created to be a GOP propaganda vehicle [0]. They've gotten more radical as the GOP has because that's why Fox News exists. There are interesting questions around whether the tail is wagging the dog, but I think the simplest, most accurate perspective is to treat Fox and the Republican Party as a single unit whose goal is always to maximize GOP power.

Sex Toys Debut with 3D Printing at CES 2020
The concept of perverse incentives pops up regularly on HN, and the dairy industry is a great example. You get paid by the gallon, but Bessy produces a limited number of gallons. So what do you do, you breed Bessy to the point that her milk is little more than white water, unrecognizable to previous generations of milk drinkers, and in doing so your supply outpaces demand.

The point is, the struggles of the dairy industry are entirely their own making. They ignored the potential for diversification, with loads of family farms going out of business because they wouldn't move beyond fluid milk -- same concepts of value-add and vertical integration exist in dairy just like in other businesses. Before Chobani, good luck finding "greek" yogurt. After Chobani, good luck finding anything not "greek" yogurt. But where's the Quark? Where's the Creme Fraiche? Where's the "real" greek yogurt made with sheep milk? Dairies thought they could keep producing sub-standard Holstein water and didn't need to actually think like competitive businesses.
Paul Allen kinda did just that, although in a different direction. He built a datacenter and filled it with a bunch of old computers he thought were cool, like the DEC PDP-10. It's now the Living Computer Museum in Seattle.

It's hard for the NYTimes to run stories on the evils of private equity when their employees and owners are completely intertwined with the people who work in that industry.

I can't overstate the degree to which all the different industries in New York socially overlap. The degree of separation between someone who works in technology, media, finance, publishing and advertising is 0 or 1. Those relationships become marriages, friendships, acquaintances, people sitting next to you at charity dinner.

Perhaps most critically the Times is a family owned business, the owners are billionaires, the current owner is also it's publisher. They have no interest in poking around the fundamental mechanics of how rich people operate in this country.

Shiny stories of fraud or insider trading or whistleblowing? Absolutely. But questioning the core mechanics of capital, especially capital centered in New York operates would never happen.
An old quote I heard once: “The news doesn’t tell you what to think, the news tells you what to think about”

It's a great article, loaded with information, and very insightful.

But I'm left disappointed that there's no actual estimate of maximum information content. Just this:

> *[Note from Tony Zador: The length of the genome, which in humans is around 3 billion letters, represents an upper bound on the Kolmogorov complexity. Only a fraction of that carries functional information, however, so the upper KC value may be quite a bit lower than that].

That must be 3 x 10^9 base pairs, in the haploid genome. Wikipedia tells me that's 800MB.[0] However, only 1%-2% of that codes for proteins.[1] Which is basically what Zador's note says.

So what's possible for the rest? While 800MB doesn't seem that much, maybe it's enough for basic "firmware" and "software". Including instinctual behaviors.

But even all that is clearly not enough for a full blueprint and assembly instructions. That, as TFA explains, must flow from interactions during development.

Wait...I should be mindful that I come from an unconventional background and...I am also English. Those people known for a lack of emotion.

The cost of running the system is trivial.

Domains are more like real estate. They can become almost arbitrarily expensive on the global market because they represent a somewhat exhaustible resource of phrases that people can actually remember.

As with any system where you have private resource owners controlling a basic need you should expect corruption and abuse of the customer base. From Water Barons to Landlords to Cable/Broadband companies the pattern repeats itself time and time again. This is why we have regulated industries.

I love the Picture in Picture feature. There are too many web sites which leave you only the choice between a rather small video or full screen. With PIP I can choose the size which works best for my screen. Also, as it floats on top, it is never covered by other applications.

One thing would make this even more increadible: is there a way to set the default size and position? If the PIP feature would always start in my preferred size and position, this would be just so great.
What about stock market gains for 2019? S&P was up 30% last year which was fantastic. Before y'all reply that the stock market only benefits the wealthy, that's patently false.

Partly this: Number of bits.

You're describing proof of work, not blockchain. It's easy to implement it without a blockchain: make MTAs require the hash of the enveloppe of the mail (+ a nonce outside the enveloppe) to start with a certain number of 0 bits.

And make the MTAs return a parseable message when there aren't enough zeros, so the sender MTA can retry with other nonces until there are enough zeros.

And the enveloppe already contains a Message-ID which is to be unique (as it contains the hostname of the sender) and unpredictable, so there shouldn't be issues with replay attacks.

I don’t understand why people say this. Trickle down economics couldn’t be more honest All the money collects at the top and a few pennies “trickle” down to those below. It’s not called “waterfall economics” after all.
