> think if we solve the hydrogen storage problem, it would also be the future for vehicles. Batteries just aren't going to cut it in the long run because of their limited power, limited charge cycles and heavy weight.

That was true in the past but not any more. Battery powered ev's, especially the best ones, are good enough for a large proportion of use cases, and are steadily getting better. And the infrastructure situation is also getting better at a rapid pace. To put in another way, the proportion of use cases where hydrogen fuel cells, if they ever become practical, would be superior, is shrinking every year.

Youtube in general is not liable for copyright infringement on content posted by users.

People love to talk about standing up to legal bullies, but lawyers are expensive. Copyright law is extremely friendly to plaintiffs and generous in terms of damages: https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html

CBS would totally show up in a small town if they knew that they had a good chance of winning. Their lawyers are already on salary. It doesn't cost them anything and they will get a lot of money. They may also just try to get the venue changed. In fact, it is their duty to enforce their copyright claims, or they risk their ability to protect their IP in the future. So, it's unwise to do the equivalent of coating yourself in butter and serving yourself up to be devoured by Viacom IP attorneys.

In the 2019 case of Epic Games, Inc. v. Lucas in which a 14 year old boy counter-claimed a copyright claim filed by Epic over the defendant's posting of Youtube footage involving cheats in Fortnite. While the case did not go all the way, Epic did successfully extract a punitive settlement from the defendant. If he had not counter claimed, the lawsuit might have never happened, or they could have settled it before it was filed.
> Like... how many web apps do you stand up where you have one client you want to serve?

I think you confused "single query" with "single request". The goal of the benchmark is to make one query to the DB per request. The number of requests (clients) is in the hundreds of thousands.
A lot of experienced Toronto developers are working remotely. The salaries in Toronto haven't kept pace. The commute has gotten more difficult no matter what form of travel you choose.
Bill Gates wrote (mostly himself) the number one BASIC implementation, something important enough that IBM thought they had to have it - this was not luck in the same way DOS was luck. Even if the first PC shipped with CP/M as the OS instead of DOS, Gates would still have been there. Microsoft wouldn't have Windows today, but I think it is safe to say they would still have Office.

Luck is involved in getting to the top. However there is a lot of hard work required to take advantage of it. The unsuccessful often have better luck when you look close - but they don't use their luck.
Don't banks require "savers" as their source of capital for lending?
- I thought fully autonomous driving was meant to be done by now?

One thing that Elon did is gathering lots of video data instead of perfecting LIDAR, and at this point it seems that he was right: until detecting objects in 3D from video data is completely solved, self driving can't work. After it's solved, LIDAR is not needed.

- Tesla & SpaceX have a reputation for being a terrible place to work

When I'm looking for jobs, my main criteria is market cap / number of employees, and Tesla (as most startups/small companies) was very bad before the stock price went up. Now with high stock prices Tesla can afford to pay market rates (even if it's in stock).

A quick note - the 10 day period is for a manual claim, if you get a Content ID claim, it can be up to 30 days for the appeal to move to the DMCA process.

Why the two are different is beyond me.
But software developer productivity HAS increased over the years, primarily due to improved tools they have access to. I think developers are somewhat blind to this fact however, because the skill required to operate said tools hasn't increased in proportion to the productivity output gained.

Think about hunting with a bow & arrow vs hunting with a spear. With a bow & arrow (the improved tool), you're able to bring back more meat with less effort, but the productivity of each hunt is higher to the stakeholders (the people eating, in this situation). If it's still very difficult to find hunters with the baseline skills required to not only operate a bow & arrow, but to complete the other necessary aspects of hunting (ability to track the animal, carrying it back, etc), then it makes sense that their pay would continue to increase.
Perhaps this is just my inner poverty showing, but how does something like this even happen, from a monetary perspective?

I'm assuming the owners had investors or loans or some other financial reasons that would prevent them from spending a lot of money and then simply parking it forever.

And wouldn't property taxes or city nuisance abatement fines nibble away at the property over the years? It can't be completely free of carrying costs, right?

Even if there is no ongoing cost for the ship, wouldn't the owners rather have sold the furnishings rather than leave them to rot?

I did some research and found that there was a huge court case that didn't go in the owner's favor. So perhaps the owner is too emotionally invested to cut their losses?

Or perhaps they are tremendously wealthy and using the loss to write off other business gains? Or maybe it changed hands through inheritance, so the owner doesn't care about recouping the initial investment? Or maybe I'm overestimating the remaining value, and the thing is already a total loss?

This is all speculation. But it would be very interesting to learn how such a large venture was left to rot...
Fair use has basically nothing to do with whether Google decides to keep distributing your video.

(And, the portion of the work used is only one part of a multi-pronged test of fair use...)
LetsEncrypt issues for 3 months by default and then tries to renew after 2 months.

So if renewal fails you should have ~30 days to fix it.

But this does work best if your tools try the 2-month renewal. (I'm looking at you, wpengine!)
It worries me in general though, and I think that a higher level of consistently in the results of the parts of the image that don't significantly change between frames seems like a goal worth pursuing.

I also think that a deeper understanding of the mechanisms and techniques required to reduce jitter might offer some insights into ways of handling adversarial images.

While I entirely agree with your premise. I don't think that is the best example.

Given those hypothetical people, I would bet that the one who went back to his homewtown actually enjoys his life, while the other is miserable, but surrounded in gold.

If the latter takes his ball and goes home, now that's a different story.
From what I understand, those sorts of vague software patents are far far harder to get today - in theory they never should have been granted. Unfortunately, mistakes were made, but in recent years the legal system is catching up to that, and hopefully as those older patents expire newer patents along those lines won't be granted

"On June 19, 2014 the United States Supreme Court ruled in Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank International that 'merely requiring generic computer implementation fails to transform [an] abstract idea into a patent-eligible invention'"

That's what I was thinking as well.

Linux is a tougher nut to crack. I've done Windows VM on a dedicated I leased for 60$ a month, with other VMs on the same box. That was over an ssh tunnel, and I found it pretty performant. I mean notable latency, but remote desktop supports multiple monitors.

Lib virt with spice supports open gl acceleration for local host connections. That works almost as well as RDP, expect it can only be run locally. I still need to check into xRDP. But Linux as a remote desktop, developer environment is pretty far behind windows from what I've seen.

For Linux central dev environments I go back to ssh + vim
It does not have to be like that, you should be able to find traces in recent played videos opened files, what is ironic is that you have a high visibility person like Epstein that FBI is incompetent to catch for years but for some reasons the people they have reasons to find something the evidence just appears... it just feels this laws are not used to protect children/teens but to punish the ones the government doesn't like.
If it's a review, and you'd rather people see different reviews of your show, and you can get youtube to remove it based on using a few seconds of your footage, though...

Interesting take. The Red Mars trilogy explored something along those lines extensively and believably arrived to what you'd call Socialism. :)
This is why if forced to speak to federal agents, it is often recommended qualify every response to any question you are asked with, "to the best of my knowledge" or similar qualifiers.

From a prominent legal blog:

'"A statement made to the “best knowledge” of a person does not mean that the person asserts the truth or accuracy of the statement or that the statement is based on that individual’s personal knowledge.'

Similar to undergoing an investigation for SF-86 process all questions are asked "To the best of your knowledge..." leaving you room to make accidental mistakes without incriminating yourself.
also factor in tech jobs aren't super stable (or as stable as people think they are)

layoffs happen frequently, the average tenure at any one company is only a few years, and ageism is rampant.

this is hardly a "company for life" role or industry for most.
There should be a page out there that lists Microsoft outages due to missed certificate or domain expiration. Like that hotmail one long time ago.

I would think at this point they would be their own major certificate authority and maybe domain registrar.
YouTubers absolutely realize, but YouTube is the biggest game in town by a huge margin. If you're making non-porn videos on the internet, it's very very hard to be successful outside of youtube.

Sure there is also most notably swoole if you want async i would go all in. That said it is going to be so wierd for most php programmers you might aswell hire nodejs people and do it in node where language and ecosystem is all about async.

I've got a PhD in geophysics. I'm telling you the state of the field. You can assume I'm lying or in on the climate scam it if you want.
Yep, I thought that was odd too. I wonder if they always had ads or trying to milk the news they are shutting down?

I kinda always felt ads on a business blog was kinda unprofessional unless you had a general tech/news type blog or the ads on your business blog is for your own products/sponsors/community, etc instead of general unrelated third party ads.

Also I guess another flaw of using ad networks for your own company blog, someone could pay money to display ads for their competitors product on their competitors websites.
Which client are you using? Certbot?
Meanwhile I presume they misconfigured a service meant for doing captcha checks using Google. What's more likely? Why are you so aggressively.. eh.. okay, not going to write that.
You haven't made much of an argument.
This is how it works in most areas. Mobile calls to 911 will go to the PSAP for a relatively large region, who will triage the call and if your address is in an area served by a more local PSAP, they will add a calltaker from the local PSAP to the line and transfer the call to them.

It's probably best to just stick with 911. That's what calltakers are used to, and trying to route around 911 means you won't get the advantages built into that system (like priority handling, mapping, etc).
I personally don’t answer questions about this or salary. The discussion is about working together now into the future. Saying no and why is this question important to you (if it’s really of interest) seems the most ethical thing to do without more info. As I recall one State recently and finally made it illegal to ask about prior salary, and in Oakland about criminal record for housing. These one sided concerns are bad for the economy short and long term. Competition and focus drive innovation.

Its a quite small influence, about 50 milliWatts per square meter iirc. Overall we are well insulated from heat circulating inside the Earth (by miles of rock) while hundreds of watts per square meter enters the atmosphere from solar radiation.

> recreating functionality from Lucene on top of RDBMS

strange mix of assumptions there, since searching text strings is Job One of computer search since 'forever' .. if Lucene has done some (search) things well, there is no reason that others do not have a chance to also do those things well. In fact, encourage it, foster it, engage with the process that brings new software capacities ..
I'm really enjoying Eviternity (on gzdoom with Neural Upscale) right now:

https://www.dfdoom.com/project/eviternity/
My very anecdotal experience: After teaching/mentoring quite a few SWEs from varying skill levels, the two traits that I find are the most important and at the same time rare are:

- Attention to detail

- High frustration barrier

Over the course of a career those become less and less important as one learns to use the appropriate tools (e.g. linters) and processes, but you still need them to get to that point. Especially for beginners, those two in practice most often break the "everyone can learn to program" trope, that I'd like to be true.
Makes me wonder why anybody takes them by value, and not by rvalue-reference.

But unique_ptr in public interfaces feels like code smell. I have done it, but not proudly.
My father taught me this trick -- if you're going to arrive simultaneously, just make sure you stop clearly second (especially if the other car is on your right).

I find it is usually pretty efficient and have yet to notice someone doing the same to me at the same time.
Some people believe it's the opposite ( chicken and egg blah blah blah) that because a lot of people got very rich in the tech boom, it 1. attracted more people to the area and 2. gave them a lot more pricing power over the already constrained housing... the restrictive housing policies just poured more fuel on the fire.

I'm not close to the area so I'm happy to be corrected by those who saw things unfold over the years
Arguing that it happened because the human back up wasn't paying attention isn't a great defense of an autonomous vehicle. The issue isn't that the bug happened, the issue is that that particular bug only comes from doing something fundamentally bad - hardcoding the situation.
