Even more than that, the clock starts when you walk through the front door (portal to portal). If the travel time to the actual work site is long, such as a very large campus, or a miner's trip from the mine entrance to the active dig site, then that is time that should be on the clock.

We have streaming replicas for hot data AND regular snapshots shipped to offsite cold storage, because RAID is not a backup. If we experienced an equivalent event, we'd be fine.
Gosh yea, other than this specific proposal all laws in the US make sense - I sure am glad you can drink when you're 18 and no states have stupid religious laws limiting sales on Sundays to tiny bottles.
Interesting, so double insurance. One for you and one for your car, genius! Maybe somebody at Progressive, Allstate, or Geico will see this and get a promotion, lol.
"Proven" is a maybe impossible standard: Kernel devs hint at the GPLonly exports having been useful in certain cases they prefer not to discuss on a ML. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190110131132.GC20217@kroah.co...

One can interpret this as something legally significant, or an embarrassing private anecdote, or nothing substantial at all, maybe even just talk. However, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. Not the least since they could be the ones against Oracle's legal dept...
Sgi is another prominent example cited elsewhere in the thread.
Isn't the Surface Book what you're describing?
I think the fact that he cites work on a 'private social platform' is significant. Even if you set aside broader trends in consumer apps and just look at FB itself, this trend is inevitable given the way statuses--a prominent part of the Newsfeed--have been in decline for years, while Groups have been flourishing.
That's a very US-biased view. There's plenty of conservatism skeptical and even hostile to capitalism and free markets. It's a quite common position in the Catholic community, for example.
Thanks Reelin. This is some good food for thought. Some of those "Would it bother you if..." are definitely hard questions.

Those circumstances don't come out of thin air. In the end, there are specific people who explicitly create them, and profit off them.

Also, I don't think that "those places attract a certain type of managers" is much of an excuse for those managers.
This seems like it's already a serious and growing problem. It might be best to take a two-pronged approach of quickly implementing process requirements that make such swaps harder for crooks while working to come up with a longer-term technological solution.

It's crazy that a minimum-wage retail mobile store employee is the weak link in a system that protects almost everyone's financial assets from banking and investment accounts to credit cards and crypto-currencies.
I guess all programming is kinda hard, it's the nature of expectations of modern computing.

Per-process CSPRNGs are pretty common. Most programs don't fork without exec, no problem for them. Managing a per-process CSPRNG is only hard for libraries that might be used by some programs that fork without exec, and don't want to require the program to do anything right.

No! It's not hard, just don't screw it up. This is true of most things.
I've used it and it's not near as good as AWS. Plus Google have a habit of shutting stuff down so I have basically given up on them for critical stuff.
We are making comments underneath a article with research for this area ..
True, but that also means that you should not expect an employee to be productive immediately at 10am. "Paid from 10am" means that the expectation is to be walking in the door at 10am, on average. If you want the employee to be set up by 10am, that costs extra.
Don't forget student loans. Having six figures in student loans simply from getting a masters degree is enough to make one almost consider abandoning the U.S, especially when you consider that the older generation who caused this never experienced it themselves.

My most depressing times were when I was unemployed (not to be confused with "funemployed") and not making any money.
The use of political borders to make regional comparisons is a common source of ridiculous conclusions. It usually happens in more banal and easily-identified ways, like when you hear somebody say something like, "Austin is bigger than Boston," (no, it isn't, obviously) but this shows how it can fool even very smart people if they're not paying attention.
It is a matter of resources. Young children or adults with severe behavioural problems are managed without antipsychotics and sedatives, but it takes a dedicated and skilled care team and a highly functional family. Even then, the drugs still often get used.

Behavioural problems in dementia are very hard. Male patients in particular can be quite strong and mobile. They can easily hurt staff or other residents. They are also a risk to themselves. The coroner in my state published two cases of patients with dementia that highlight this: one swallowed the napkin on his dinner tray and choked, another got put of the facility and died trying to climb a fence.

The reality is that there are few viable alternatives.
>How can we build machine learning systems that can handle millions of tasks, and that can learn to successfully accomplish new tasks automatically?

Personally, I believe the answer to this question is going to take a very long time to accomplish, at least from a reliability point-of-view. And it's probably not going to be achievable through classical computation alone, but rather through a mix of both classical and quantum computation.

But I wouldn't be surprised if, given enough progress in this field, that the "final" version is grounded solely on quantum computation.

My reasoning behind this belief ties to the fact that since quantum computation is able to simulate reality, then it follows that you can simulate something that resembles a human brain.

But before any of you unsheathe your pitchforks and light up your torches: I'm perfectly aware that there are still a lot of hard challenges ahead before any of this materializes--error correction being one of them.

Anyway, the future looks cool at least in this regard.
I've been looking forward to using bcachefs as I had a few bad experiences with btrfs.

What happens when the business govt wants low corp tax, and the residents govt wants high corp tax to fund programs? What happens when they disagree over zoning, ie which side gets to build somewhere?

I don't think you can segment that way.

One related idea that might work a little better (I think it comes from libertarian circles, can't remember exactly where) is representation by profession. So eg x% of the legislature is elected by residents, and other percentages by other groups like business people.
If people are buying more then it means more demand, leading to increased price, unless there was an excess in supply (production capacity) in the first place.

The discussion is exactly about that. It’s a response to Vermont raising the age for gun ownership and tobacco usage to 21. So it’s the exact same logic. You agree with the bill’s author.
Property tax on homes is a wealth tax...
The point is, if A) photons carry no individual identity, and B) the interaction happens instantaneously, then there is no meaningful difference between saying "the photon bounced off like a ball" and "the photon was absorbed and a new one was instantly re-emitted". It's literally a distinction without a difference.

As humans living in the classical world, we hear that and think "oh, that just means we don't know what's really going on, it either bounces or re-emits, it just looks the same to us." But no - reality is just an interaction of quantum fields and we're putting these human stories on top of it. It's like debating whether or not submarines swim.
I think the “outcompeted” argument proves too much. Nobody does anything wrong, otherwise they would be outcompeted.

Major upgrade problems because of supposedly simple, well-understood library matters like string manipulation or array manipulations are definitely a problem that other languages have - just look at the whole Python 3 saga.
Anyone with expertise in this field care to comment? It seems too good to be true?
I guess the internal reflection bit explains why less total light energy might escape; if it hits the shirt and bounces off the water-air boundary and hits the shirt again, then it had two chances to get absorbed by the shirt instead of one.

But yes, you're right that shiny things tend to seem darker from most angles, because the observer is usually not in line with most of the reflected light.

In computer graphics, Blinn highlights are a pretty decent approximation for shiny surfaces. (Interestingly, the highlights generally don't take on the color of the object unless it's metallic.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blinn%E2%80%93Phong_reflection...

Car headlights on wet pavement are kind of a worst case. You don't get much benefit from your own lights because the vast majority reflects off at a useless angle, but it does reflect back up at oncoming traffic.

(Impractical startup idea: headlight drones, that fly ahead of your car in rainy weather and illuminate the road in front of you from a more useful angle. Powered by microwaves beamed from the car.)
I used to think this way when I was a teenager, and I'm really glad that I grew out of it.

When I turned ~20, I started getting really bad insomnia and depression, and there wasn't a day that went by that I didn't think about suicide for years. At some level, I sort of planned around it (when I'm dead, x will happen).

I was incredibly fortunate to have a good support network of friends and family that helped me through the worst of it, and thanks in no small part to medication (and probably some hormones balancing out as I've gotten older), I am still alive, and happy to be alive.

It's not hard for me to imagine the alternate universe where no one tried to help me out of this depression, where there's no "stigma" around killing themselves, and I don't get the assistance I need to make me better; I'd be dead.

Now, granted, maybe it's no big loss for me to be gone, I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't like me, but considering how it ended up being a "phase" for me with no undo button, I'm pretty glad that we don't encourage people to killing themselves.

Just a note, I want to make it clear that I am ok with suicide in certain instances (like people with terminal diseases), but I really don't like the tone in this comment.
That's kind of like saying there's no difference in safety between an airliner and the winged contraption that my idiot brother built in his garage.

After all, they both have wings and will both kill you if they fall out of the sky, and I don't see Airbus or Boeing guaranteeing that their planes will never crash, so they must be essentially the same.
Kowloon is by itself a large borough or equivalent in Hong Kong.
Good ol' America, where you can enlist at 17, but can't drink, smoke, or own a firearm until 21. Also where it's illegal to pay somebody to have sex, unless you're filming it.
Size isn't the salient factor. Consider two "cities," one of which draws its political borders around its inner suburbs and one that doesn't. They may have identical populations, even, but they'll produce very different results on many common statistical measures.

This is why you should almost never compare two places based on political borders or designations. (You have to instead normalize around something less arbitrary. "City" and "state" aren't proper categories for classification, because what gets included from city to city and state to state can vary across multiple dimensions.)
They didn't inform me that it was a performance review. I did not notice that it was a performance review. It wasn't made clear what or weather i was doing well or should change behavior. I didn't interpret the meeting as intended to have any effect on my employment. It was months later, after I had started hearing friends talk about their performance reviews, that I realized that I had one as well.
New study finds no evidence of educational benefits from installing air filters in classrooms

A new study was performed of a set of Los Angeles schools and found no effects on test scores, comparing schools with and without newly-installed air filters.

However, this was a small study, and even though it found null effects, it could still be worth exploring the idea of installing air filters in classrooms, given all that we believe about the bad effects of air pollution.

We should not let this particular null study deter us from continuing to explore this possibility.
That's true, but having GPS and being able to do studies that are based on actually tracking vehicles has been a game changer (instead of just point traffic counts or driver questionnaires).
If you look for dedicated separate tools that calculate directory sizes then those two (also Rust tools) can help:

1. `cargo install dirstat-rs` (binary is `ds`): Prints several lines showing the size of the directory and the top fattest children. Colored output.

2. `cargo install dua-cli` (binary is `dua`): Only prints one line with the specified directory size. Colored output.

Both are insanely fast (they use all CPU cores). Love them both.
No, most of today’s attackers are not competent or well-funded, but you don’t hear about them because they’re not news.

ASLR changes the game in that instead of a control flow vulnerability needing to be found, you also need an info leak and the ability to put that into the exploit.

That’s a nontrivial improvement.
Since I am self taught Mandarin, I thought it was novel when he did too, and I saw his humility when he tried to speak it. Now he is painful to read for me. First, he lost my trust. Second, it's esoteric, nothing very concrete. Perhaps our ability to be anywhere through augmented reality sounds interesting, but not all that novel.

While we're running through Tyler's greatest hits, he also argued in favour of high prices for drugs [0], since lower prices would lower innovation.

If the advocate of lower drug prices does not have clear quantitative evidence for a conclusion of “lowering drug prices will not harm innovation very much,” commit the analysis to the flames, for it harbors nothing but sophistry and illusion.

Tyler Cowen is the opposite of Batman. I genuinely don't understand why he gets so much press.

Besides the thing sibling commenters mentioned about GitHub Stars acting like bookmarks, I also feel that GitHub Stars are more intended to be used to indicate interest in the source code itself—which is a bit different from indicating interest in the product you get by compiling said source code.

I might Star e.g. Postgres (yeah, I know, not their official repo) because someone told me that it's an example of good, elegant code, and I would like to study it. But that doesn't mean that I'm a Postgres user, let alone an adoring fan. I'm starring the code.

The benefit is decoupling the app server from the auth server. If all of the authorization privileges are tracked by the auth server, it becomes the single source of truth. It also makes it easier to switch your app to a different auth server provider (or even accept auth from a list of different ones). If you have a whitelist of auth providers for your app, your users could all pick a different one, and you'd only have to implement a single auth protocol. You could even imagine allowing users to host their own auth server, and providing a way for them to register it with your app.
Yup, had a 22” Mitsubishi monitor that could do that resolution in ~2002. Everyone would pick on me about the text being so small, but I’d let them sit at my desk squinting and I’d stand ten feet back and read the screen with ease as they struggled. The monitor was a beast though, around 70lbs if memory serves.

Edit:

Pretty sure this is the monitor:

You've completely misunderstood vesting. It's not to keep you there for extra time. You can consider your base salary in terms of dollars per day, week, pay period, month, quarter, year, or FOUR YEARS. Any time span you like. Your RSU grant is simply scaled to four years instead of 1 year, or 1 month for that matter.

The point of the RSUs vesting, instead of just being granted all at once, is that you are incentivized to put in a real effort. If your efforts help result in the company doing well, you get to share in the profit -- your $1 award today becomes $5 by the time it vests. The value of your RSU increased in direct correlation to the value that YOU ADD to the company. It gives you skin in the game and keeps people working hard.

In fact, management is not incentivized to be stingy with some small "finite" number of RSUs. They are incentivized to hand them out liberally, giving everyone lots of reasons ($$$) to work hard hard hard.
A max wage will just lead to workarounds, hiring each family member at the maximum rate for instance, or schemes where a family member sues the company and the company "loses", etc. Is it worth it to play that game?

> If that's true and you're in a nursing home and not a hospital or hospice, it's probably because the thing incapacitating you is mental — dementia.

You can have musculoskeletal issues that prevent you from performing everyday activities. You might also have neurological issues that don't affect thinking or speech (e.g. as a result of stroke). I'm unsure if vision problems acquired at old age can confine one to a nursing home: it's harder to learn to compensate (e.g. because you have worse medium-term memory and poorer senses other than sight).
