If it's for free OTA television, I'm OK with that. I don't know why people never rose up against it in cable/satellite-only channels that they pay for.

/I'm OTA, Netflix, and the library. But I mostly only use Netflix for the DVD service. I'm fortunate enough to have enough going on in my life that I watch very little video.

I really don't get what's up with that...2012 or so, Netflix was suggesting movies I'd never heard of that I ended up loving. Now when I log in, it just demands I watch Family Guy (ugh) ...and starts auto-playing it, of course.
Given Canada's immigration system, it's plausible (I'd guess likely, on a national scale), but it still depends on parameters like the country's current population, or the current availability of desirous places to live. For example, it's pretty clear that without immigrants bidding up property values, British Columbia would have had much higher net interprovincial migration. We see the same thing in California, with people moving out because land is too expensive.
I'm in the bay area - this seems like the best option.

The difficulty is either I don't know anyone my age that has one or it's still taboo for men to talk about so people don't. I'd guess it's a combination of both. The only people I've known personally who see a therapist are women (and from that small sample they don't want you to see their same person).

I think men tend to rely entirely on their SO which is probably not a great thing for either party.
In which regions though?
Participate in an activity that you objectively suck at, or are at least around a lot of other people who are relatively and objectively better than you.
> so your “sense of self” does not get affected by what anyone says

But it should be affected. As the substance abuse programs say "the first step to solve any problem is to acknowledge that there is a problem". For example, if you think of yourself as a good husband and a good father and then your wife and kids come to you and tell you that you are not, you should probably reassess your self-evaluation. Maybe you are not what you think you are.
Does this imply a ~1 year runway considering $11B cash/cash equivalents on hand?
Jesus...

Thanks for posting that. That was a horrifying read. I'm at a loss for words.

Looks like I've got some more reading to do...
I did some testing a while back from servers globally (I used Postman w/ global monitoring) to test latency.

Pretty sure Postman uses some big cloud service (AWS or GCP) so you'd think Lambda would've had an advantage.

Interestingly, that didn't seem to be the case (workers had 3-4x less latency than Lambda).
That's a great point. Using approaches like this as a less computationally complex method of resampling for the purpose of anti-aliasing (and not upscaling) seems worthwhile, definitely.

I was thinking more of attempts to create neural nets that map from e.g. the set of 480p images to the set of 1080p images. The "best case" results seem to be trained on low bitrate HD video, which gives results that "look good" to many people (especially those who grew up watching Youtube) but in terms of real detail are worse than a simple upscale (with e.g. Lanczos). I haven't yet seen results where content aware upscaling provides a real improvement over "dumb" algorithms for this purpose.
Firefox, IE, Safari, or Edge (but not Edge Beta) to name a few. IIRC, there's Pale Moon or something else based off Firefox as well.

Space burial was also discussed on xkcd, though not launching ashes but whole corpse: https://what-if.xkcd.com/134/
What we need is something more like Amazon's old "people who liked this also liked"; we have to give up on the idea of a rating being an absolute thing for all time for all people. Some people want "critically acclaimed" movies, a lot of people don't. Both are valid.

The situation gets even worse from a diversity and internationalisation standpoint. You have to consider what different national and language groups want.
It depends on if the crew would have been able to control those thrusters themselves. Obviously you want the entire system to be autonomous enough that no crew interaction is required but things do happen and the crew needs to be able to act and fix the problem if capsule can't do it nor the ground. When the Starliner started a burn at the wrong time, a crew would have been able to stop it and prevent the loss of fuel. I wonder if this re-entry thruster issue was a result of the earlier thruster issue (or a result of the troubleshooting of it).

There are uncrewed test flights for a reason. You can't always simulate every possible failure mode. Things fail on the ground that wouldn't be possible during normal operation and vice versa.
A self-compiling Pascal compiler, for mainframes, circa 1980...

The question I have: Was Turbo Pascal 1.0 based on this code -- or was it an independent implementation, or fork of Wirth's original Pascal compiler?

Without the Turbo Pascal 1.0 source code -- we may never know...
Perhaps. But also their reputation for actually originating ideas and technology (or legally acquiring them) instead of stealing swaths of intellectual property like Huawei has and does.
> “ One of the most ubiquitous pieces of e-waste is device chargers. We seem them as disposable because every new device comes with one. Why not just toss the old one out and let it rot in a landfill? Every new upgrade means a new charger. But that may be about to change.“

Is this 2004, when every charger is hardwired to it’s transformer? Nope - last time I checked my iPhone and android devices all shipped with the same USB charger but they have 4 different cables (lightning, mini usb, micro usb, and usb-c). Are those cables a huge contributor to e-waste?

Also, we’ve been through this before - what would have happened if the EU was successful last time and we were all forced to use micro-usb? No usb c, that’s what.
I think I've taken around 50 interviews in the last year or so. I always end the interview with "do you have any questions for me?" No one asks what they could have done better, but if they did I'd tell them.
I mean, that is described on the front page, under "How is it different?"

Communicating everything that any potential user might want to know in a single sentence turns out to be really hard.

Amazon says it will create 15,000 jobs in Bellevue, Washington
I wonder how Uber would do if the 2008 financial crisis were to repeat in say, 2022. Tech companies in particular are in for a surprise if a recession of that magnitude happens again.
But what sort of growth are they spending money on - and is what they're spending money on worth it? If you're spending money on free rides, you might be getting users that aren't going to be profitable long term. If you're spending that money on r&d moonshots like developing your own self driving cars, then it's not looking so good for you when tesla/waymo/etc are so much further ahead. And if economies of scale begin working against you, where as you get more and more drivers, they begin to organize and lobby and push to become classified as employees and raise your costs, then you might be facing a reconing very soon.
I think it's fair to say that "try meditating" can be a vague suggestion, especially for those who don't know much about meditation. But I have to ask, are you having these doubts because you actually want to try meditation but don't know where to start? Or do you simply not want to try it? I ask because while there are indeed tons of different ways to meditate, they usually converge on a very specific set of themes and practices.

I recommend reading The Mind Illuminated by Yates if you're seriously looking to start. I find it to be a good resource for technical people.
Finding a way to show them might be difficult, but rewarding.

(unsolicited advice) What I've learned in working on that skill; avoid coming from a position of supremacy, and rely on actions/results to communicate most of the message. Also, a lot of acceptance and patience.

I like to write a lot of pseudo code before real code, gradually digging down into lower level implementation details, so as to not waste time worrying about syntax while making higher level decisions.
However, it's taken me a long time to develop what I have of that skill; to feel out the different layers decisions will be made, then write pseudocode with the intent of eeking out and resolving most of them.

Doing so, things end up feeling more like trade-offs than compromises.

Good luck!
Thank you.

I should have clarified my response. When I contacted netflix they told me you cannot unsubscribe to one part of the notifications ... it is all or nothing. So, if you turn it off you aren't alerted when new shows are added, etc.

I'll second the recommendation for Schema Therapy, it's likely to help understand yourself and others (don't forget others...)
I've always considered it just a professional courtesy, within reason. Just like it would be nice, but not required, for an applicant to say why they turned down a job offer. It can help us understand what's lacking to determine whether or not it's worth improving upon.
Yeah I definitely would not pay for a podcast someone was doing because they just need an income, rather than doing it out of a passion for that particular topic.

I feel like if you want to produce a podcast you should just know what you want to talk about and just do it.
I transferred my to-watch list from IMDB to reelgood.com (wrote a script to do it), which shows what is available on what service I subscribe to. This has cut out the time I spend browsing the catalog.
Also note they are asking for the CEO of Boeing to come to the Netherlands to be questioned by them.

"Members of the Dutch parliament wanted to question the Boeing chief executive, David Calhoun, about the company’s possible influence over the original Dutch investigation of the accident, which killed nine people on a Turkish Airlines flight. The National Transportation Safety Board also refused lawmakers’ request to participate."
My highlights from the accounting statements (disclaimer: I'm 2 years into my MBA):

* They put up $1.2B as collateral for some kind of insurance (looks like rider insurance, but it's unclear). From the footnotes: "In Q4 2019, James River Group withdrew all funds held in trust as collateral for current and future claim settlement obligations under the indemnification agreement. The $1.2 billion of operating cash outflow for 2019 represents this withdrawal of collateral from restricted cash. This change in the form of collateral had no impact on our claim settlement obligations or insurance reserves." Sounds like maybe their insurer dropped them?

* Under "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures" -- the driver incentives are unreal. To deliver $734M of gross revenue on Eats in Q4, they paid out $315M in driver incentives. From the "Segment Adjusted EBITDA" at the top, Eats had EBITDA of (461). As a SWAG, for $1 in sales, they pay out about $0.42 in driver incentives and another $1.20 in all other costs (ie. the restaurant's cut for the food itself, operations support, marketing, normal driver's fees, etc).

* As a counter point to the above, to render $3B in rides revenue they paid $0.007B in driver incentives.
I wonder if there's a coding interface for beginners that works as follows:

The beginner types a declaration of "I want to _____" and the interface uses ML to auto-suggest code. The auto-suggest would be context-sensitive and fit in with previously written code. Auto-correct would work similarly. If the declaration isn't specific enough, then the auto-suggest tool would ask a series of questions that illustrate the different choices a programmer can make in achieving their goal. Finally, the tool would output code that reflects the beginner's choices.

This would increase the speed of the think-do feedback loop. Beginners would be able to jump into coding with very minimal education and "make" the application they want straight away. Of course, it would usually behoove them to eventually read some programming books and take classes, but this tool would pique their interest. The power of the auto-complete would scale back as the beginner progresses unless they get stuck. Maybe this would only work on a finite set of projects that the ML was trained on, which is fine because you can just give a lot of projects to choose from. That is until the ML becomes more powerful and generalizable.

Yeah, that's what I meant. The security might be better, but the attack surface and attack impact has grown a lot faster than than the overall security.
It is just an open question about the state of mature cross-platform GUI libraries in Rust. My point is that the current state is that compared to C++, the Rust ecosystem is not mature (yet) and there are no production ready cross-platform GUI libraries written in Rust.

That is one setback when trying to consider using Rust for cross-platform GUI development.
Arguably one competitor if you just consider North America and exclude taxis or anything outside of their rideshare business.
1) If you're throwing lots of money around, there's a trail of evidence--electronic, paper, gossip. 2) If people know you're trying to hide--because you're getting face change surgery, because you're trying to launder gobs of cash--you're vulnerable to extortion, theft, and murder, in the moment and in perpetuity. (Again, the world is an ugly place filled with untold numbers of nasty people and billions of desperate people.)

You need either the law or a credible threat of retaliation to protect large assets. The former requires identity and a trail of evidence of ownership, not to mention reliable law enforcement; the latter requires reputation, which requires identity and a trail of evidence of retaliation. And except for industrial countries with a strong rule of law (i.e. the places you're probably trying to flee), both the law and the jungle require regular payments in cash, favors, or blood, commensurate with the assets you're trying to protect, to maintain the state of things. Not only can that quickly diminish your wealth, you're creating an ever larger footprint.

Is it possible? Theoretically, just like in the movies. But it's not easy. And it's not easy to pivot from an ultra rich, jet setting, flamboyant con-man to an anonymous nobody. It's worth noting that your link proves my point--his fake identity was readily discovered with a routine search warrant and home inspection. Epstein wasn't willing to give up the comforts of his public persona and the convenience of switching between his identities. And he clearly wasn't willing to flee before he got caught, which is something of a prerequisite.

Having some money is a good start. You can buy a bar or a hostel in some far flung part of the world where nobody asks questions, and hopefully you can coast for several decades. Maybe you can hide just enough gold and currency to maintain a comfortable life without drawing attention; enough to match the flow of retirement benefits (Social Security, etc), which can often be drawn down regardless of residency and are a common source of income for older expats. Otherwise, it's just mo' money, mo' problems.

On the other hand, it's rare for authorities to care enough to hunt someone down to the ends of the earth. But I assume the context here is a motivated intelligence agency or similarly resourceful and persistent organization (e.g. DoJ no longer able to turn a blind eye). Either way, though, the easiest way to hunt someone down is to follow the money.

I think every organisation has people of different aptitudes, intrinsic motivation and interests. Building a team of superstars is meaningless. It's the management version of "make it better" or "it doesn't work" type feedbacks that don't give any necessary insights to actually do it. Building a team of people technically superior to you? In what way. Does your devops guy need to be an expert in language design?

On the subject of teaching your team you're right however. Instead aim to create an environment that fosters sharing. In my team I created a weekly tech share which the team does on rotation. It's been great for harmonising the team.
> and living in a household with lower overall stress (since there are more people to bear the burden) is probably healthy.

Some people have a lot of conflict with their parents and/or parents-in-law. But, since they live in different residences and only see them once every few weeks, it is manageable. If they were under the same roof, the stress might be a lot worse.
Well then, that's my funeral expenses sorted.

> If these countries are really significantly worse, and that is the only factor pushing normal people to relocate, then we should be seeing massive population movements all the time.

This is not true, because the socioeconomic status of people in a given country is not a flat line. Many Mexicans live what Americans would describe as comfortable, middle class lives. But, because Mexico is less prosperous than the U.S. per capita, there is a whole arm of the Mexican income distribution that is shifted into what Americans would recognize as extreme poverty. The Mexicans occupying this part of the income distribution are the ones leaving.

This should be concerning, then:

> “Boeing is not going to do an in-flight abort test,” said Jon Cowart, deputy manager of the mission management office for NASA’s commercial crew program, before the pad abort test. “They’re just going to do the ground one. They think that they can get enough data and then extrapolate that out, with good analytical techniques that we’ve endorsed. They will go and do it in that particular way, versus SpaceX, which is going to do both.
Like others, I'm finding that audio latency on Linux surpasses that of MacOS, easily. I am using Ubuntu Studio with Firewire-based audio interfaces, 50+ channels of digital audio - Linux definitely performs better than my MacOS systems, using the exact same external hardware .. except my Linux box is slower and has fewer cores than my MacBook ..
I didn't, but I will now. Thanks!
I don't see that happening at all currently. The housing market is insane in the bay area, as usual, even out here in the tri-valley area. as far as livermore, houses are selling like hot-cakes, not even on the market for a week.
RE: eats incentive spend. Its a cash bonfire with Doordash and UE competing domestically, and a lot of other softbank funded delivery groups including uber eats competing in south america. It seems like that late stage financing has dried up so likely to see rationalization in this vertical.
It cuts both ways. Imagine you tell someone of a protected class "Hey, you did really well" and they don't get hired. What's worse, what if some non-minority gets hired.

You've just opened yourself to a mess proving that the reason you didn't hire one vs the other was because of experience.

I read this more as it can be easier to move from really dire straits 3rd world country to middle class America. Whereas it can be harder to go from middle class America to Upper class.

3rd World -> Middle Class America takes hard work (once you're in America)
Middle Class America -> Upper Class takes strategic, risk, and hard work
That's what I was taught to do by my dad. Take the uncompiled kernel, remove every driver and feature from it that you don't use for your use-case and then compile. Then go through hardening steps at each layer, chroot all the things, tripwire, etc. Compile all applications configuring for only the features you're going to use. Get a report on all versions and subscribe to vulnerability mailing lists.

And then at the end, understand that you have a system that is still vulnerable so set up a regular cadence of maintenance.

It's a bit harder to do these days for various reasons.
Not if an adjacent attacker can brick networking equipment. No amount of software engineering will make a computer telepathic.
Professional audio producers and musicians can just as easily gain a high-performance DAW by using Ubuntu Studio, out of the box. My system thus configured, runs REAPER far better than the MacBook or Windows machines that are in the studio for the same purposes.

Agreed, I see a lot of "if Estonia can do online voting, why can't we?" When I talk to some of these people, who work in the SV as software engineers, I realize not everyone has a wide ranging context on security and privacy. Not everyone religiously attends or watches DEFCON presentations...

There is also a continuous push to make results available faster, basically instantly. The media is as guilty as everyone else here. Like we can't wait for a few days for results.

Lastly reducing the amount of total paid workers and volunteers in the field to reduce costs likely looks like a shiny object in many managers eyes.
Government routinely plans projects on horizons spread over decades. See for example, the MTA, the Big Dig, LA's Metro system, pretty much everything handled by NASA, the Army Corps of Engineers, the NPS, the Dept of Transportation, DARPA, etc.

Meanwhile, forestry companies routinely plant trees that won't be harvested for 50 years

Depends very heavily on the type of tree. Red Oak is on a 50-year timeline, but Douglas fir is usually on a 5-10 year timeline (depending on whether it's grown for Christmas trees or for lumber), most big box store lumber is on the 10-20 year timeline, and bamboo is frequently harvested the same year it's planted (but is also technically not a tree...). This is a matter of necessity, not far-term vision. If they could get away with not thinking long-term they would, but the modern lumber industry has learned from the excesses of the colonial and pre-Industrial lumber industry.
