This is entirely orthogonal to the fine article and basically just a statement of personal preference. Having preferences is fine, and sure, if you like C you can take umbrage at some of the more flowery characterizations in the README, but it's not really the point of the language. There are lots of neat ideas in TFA that would be interesting to discuss; no one is interested in litigating the fate of C on embedded for the Nth time.
The map is very rough and relies on counties affected, rather than topography (elevation and closeness to bodies of water and waterways) so some counties can have coastal exposure but also have shelter (high elevation). King county WA for example or Los Angeles co. CA

So it presents a more alarming picture than one would imagine.

SMS Two-factor authentication is a dumb solution. Actual two-factor authentication like FIDO U2F tokens is a better solution. Even TOTP is better than SMS auth.

Two years ago I attended a friend's wedding near Uppsala, Sweden and had the chance to speak with a retired man who was now volunteering time on Viking archaeology digs in the country and a little in some other Baltic nations. He said much the same as you: that Vikings did a lot of exchange with Arab traders, which was surprising. That there were Vikings traveling at least as far as Ukraine is really interesting!

> The underlying evidence in this case is clearly fragmentary and unclear.

At least based on what's being reported in the Atlantic article, it seems pretty clear to me: The most distinctive features of the word are inferred, and they're inferred well out past a selvedge. The presumed style of calligraphy appeared 500 years after the textile was made. And people who are familiar with the script are saying that even the parts of the pattern that we have aren't compatible with the idea that it's meant to spell Allah.

I don't have the expertise to evaluate any of those lines of evidence, except perhaps the selvedge question, myself, but, if we take, for the sake of argument, that they're accurate, that is multiple very different lines of evidence that all conflict with the hypothesis. I wouldn't be surprised if that's as clear a disconfirmation as you can typically get in archaeology.

That said, it doesn't render the basic idea risible; we know there was plenty of trade and cultural exchange, and we have plenty of other examples of artifacts with Arabic writing being found at Viking sites. It's just that it seems much more likely that this particular artifact merely exhibits an abstract motif.
Their map doesn't make any sense to me. They show no expected migration to really any of the cities in the midwest but somehow they expect a mass migration of people from Miami to rural western Kentucky?

The vast majority of Windows users don't really care about that though.

In the 90s, software modems ("winmodems", see [0]) were popular because they were cheaper than using dedicated hardware for generating and decoding the audio signals sent over the phone line. Those would break if the manufacturer didn't upgrade their driver for newer versions of Windows, since they're completely software driven.

I'd be very surprised if things have changed since then, and I bet that the majority of consumers would just pick the cheapest option at the big box store.

Though it does link to https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1871173 "The Modern Law of Corporate Groups: An Empirical Study of Piercing the Corporate Veil in the Parent-Subsidiary Context"

] Empirical analysis treating the application of substantive piercing doctrine to the parent-subsidiary context is virtually nonexistent. This Article begins to fill that void. The underlying project is an empirical analysis of piercing the corporate veil in the parent-subsidiary context. The Article's first objective is to describe statistically the propensities of modern courts for piercing the corporate veil in the parent-subsidiary situation. Its second objective is to use advanced statistical techniques to explore potential causal relationships regarding piercing the veil in the parent-subsidiary context. Both of these objectives are unique to this study. The hope is that courts, commentators, and practitioners may be better equipped to understand and predict under what circumstances a court is likely to exercise its equitable discretion and hold a parent company liable.

Fraud or misrepresentation was discussed in 46.4% (n=167) of the piercing cases, and found to be present in 7.2% (n=26) of them. (See page 1128.)

Undercapitalization (which I mentioned) was in 44 of those cases.

So examples are out there.
I didn't create a twitter account but my information could have been leaked via this process.
I was rejected with no explanation from a Twitter API key, despite it being for a real account that must appear very normal in every respect.

I think it's kind of funny that they are so draconian with hobbyists and people making toys, but that any motivated bad actor can probably access most of the same endpoints and services by virtue of the fact that they have to be accessible for people to use Twitter.

I think definitely Salesforce if you want to work remotely.

It's easy to get into, much smaller system in both scope and
complexity, and tons of free documentation. Get a couple of certifications, do the trailhead stuff, contact some consulting firms to tell them you're available for work and it should be easy to find work.

Getting into SAP and finding work can be challenging. They have a lot of new things from what I see but the majority of the SAP work you'll find is old non-cloud stuff that you'll basically need to have worked with at a company before to learn.

I went from SAP dev inhouse -> SAP dev consulting then jumped on the Salesforce wagon around 2011.

SAP work was enjoyable to me, partly because I was working in the manufacturing space, which I found interesting. Software-wise, it felt like I was 20 years behind everything, working on a mainframe.

Salesforce, I just immediately hated. It was just limits after limits and some crappy java-like language and html templating that took forever to deploy. It's gotten a bit better with lightning but you'll see the shit underneath pretty quickly. I also found the projects also extremely boring. Going from controlling machines and automated warehouses with SAP to projects about collecting email addresses and creating contacts felt like I made the wrong move.

tldr -- avoid getting locked into proprietary-land if you can help it
> I could focus on what I needed to do and not worry about how pretty the thing looks or if I'm querying the database optimally.

No offense, but this is probably a big reason for the perception that SAP is a giant slow resource hog. Developers are abstracted so far away from the hardware that they have no way of knowing that their simple little program is resulting in 1500 database queries per page load.
>>"But most importantly, SAP’s software was designed to be extensible from the start. For SAP’s original contract with ICI, SAP didn’t build software from scratch, as was the norm at the time, and instead built on top of a previous project. When SAP released their financial accounting software in 1974, their intention was to build additional software modules on top of it and sell them in the future. This extensibility was SAP’s defining feature. The interoperability across client contexts was considered radical at the time because other approaches started from scratch for every client."

SAP's success can be attributed to something similar to what Facebook and Google did, locking the data and knowledge base to itself. The much bragged "extensibility" is limited to SAP own software modules or will be acquired.

Therefore the extensibility is both the strength and the weakest point of SAP. Unlike most of modern software system, there isn't an open ecosystem for competition at its periphery, resulted in a lackluster UI and unfair challenges to non-SAP software to take advantage of those domain knowledge buried inside the SAP.

SAP's integration doctrine is originated from 1960-1970s. With limit evolution this doctrine has largely ignored the changes in computing for several decades, yet it's still growing its dominance.

"Most" embedded ARM? Cortex-A8 and smaller do not have OoO execution. Cortex-A9 is a 32-bit up-to-quad core CPU with clock of 800MHz-2GHz and 128k-8MB of cache. That's pretty big. I guess a lot of this is subject to opinion, but I don't think smartphones with GBs of RAM when I think of embedded systems.

Some are lawsuits, as noted already by marcinzm.

Others have been DOJ rulings. A couple employees of Gallaudet University (a school for deaf people) filed a complaint with the DOJ against UC Berekely [1] over 20000 videos that Berkeley had made available to the public. The DOJ investigated, told Berkeley that it was violating the ADA, and ordered Berkeley to make the 20000 videos in question accessible.

Berkeley instead made the rational decision to remove access to the videos. That was rational because most of the videos were not being used by Berkeley students or staff. They were mostly just being used by the general public. It would have cost a lot of money to make them all accessible, money that they felt could be better used on things Berkeley students and staff were using. They could only justify captioning old videos when deaf Berkeley students or staff wanted to watch them.

"Dilkina and her team used migration data from the Internal Revenue Service to analyze how people moved across the U.S. between 2004 and 2014."

It looks like their analysis may have been skewed somewhat by the fracking boom in America's oil shale country. That may explain the otherwise odd migration pattern into sparsely populated areas running up from Texas through the center of the country.
> The arrest rate isn't important, it's the conviction rate that you need to be presenting.

Being publicly arrested and held against your will, even for only 24 hours, is still a very significant punishment. If charges are filed and then later dropped, they can hold you longer or require you to post bail. It can cause you to miss work, especially if you can't make bail. Frivolous arrests are definitely a form of punishment without trial.
odd, that was my google query of yesterday..

I'm curious what kind of hardware can sustain 100k concurrent connections these days.
This matches my experience, and I'm using a much older xps 15 model that I just recently put Arch on.

It feels... Amazing.

Gnome Wayland on Arch gets SO many things right.

- HiDpi scaling works, and it works well

- The touchpad is actually a joy to use (VASTLY different than the same machine on X)

- Suspend/resume/all keyboard functions work correctly out of the box

- Battery life is excellent (11-13 hours for simple dev/browsing: Admittedly, I have the external GPU disabled and usually keep it that way)

- Usb-c/Thunderbolt port works without any configuration by default

- My usb-c dock works as expected for multiple external displays, and for usb devices (it does not work for charging, but I can live with that)

- multi-monitor works GREAT with 2 4k displays. It properly changes the resolution to 1920x1080 for each display to support both monitors through a single usb-c port, and if I use the hdmi out and usb-c, I get both at native resolution.

- Wifi is stable and consistent (I'm on the killer ac module)

- It NEVER gets hot. Even when I'm running our full stack. (Admittedly, if I turn the external gpu on, it does, but I just don't need it for my work)

This thing has been a complete joy to use. I was genuinely blown away at how good the experience is compared to even just 3 years ago when I last tried.

It's become my new favorite machine during the last 3 months or so I've been on it.

That's right. It has to understand how objects move, and the boundaries between objects, what's part of a given object and what isn't, as well as how a given object will be affected by light when moving, shadows, etc. This is difficult to learn from data, even if you have a lot of it.

I think in the 1920s you saw a decay of established institutions, recession and consequently the rise of populists like the nazis. I think it’s very similar to that right now. A lot of people think that the system is not working for them anymore. That leaves an opening for strong leaders that explain everything by blaming problems on “others”. You see that with trump and also a lot of countries in Europe.

Yalta was about rebuilding a world system. Right now we have to be careful about existing systems falling apart.
This is what I take away:

- Everyone already knows rising sea levels will cause more flooding and property damage.

- What's new here is that they make attempts to estimate displaced populations and where they will migrate.

- The reception of American climate migrants will not be evenly distributed. Cities nowhere near the coast will be impacted by climate change.
