Have you spoken to baldurk about this? Since RenderDoc has GL support and it captures with Detours, in theory with some work it should be able to capture at a level above ANGLE. Not sure if that'd be helpful, but I expect maybe.

Alternatively, could you emit markers at or above the Angle level to provide an easier to understand RenderDoc trace?
That has never been the communist philosophy. Communism seeks to destroy private property ownership and capitalism, because they believe that the profit generated by any business is the right of its workers, not the capital owner. They intend to do that by taking ownership of all resources and property by the state and the state managing all businesses.

None of this involves abolishing countries and governments. If anything, communism involves a far more stronger sense of community, patriotism, and a much more powerful government

I think it's pretty unlikely. Mainly because it's unlikely we won't be able to contain the virus.

I was about to say the same thing, then I realized the point is that a 10% chance of $2.5M/year == $250k/year expected return, which IS lower than your expected return working for a BigCo (there’s a distribution of income depending on how you perform, there, too, but it’s much lower risk).

This is a little bit disingenuous, because I’m pretty confident outside the 10% best case, there’s a pretty broad distribution where you work long hours and come away with SOME return, so I suspect the expected return may be close to even for passionate founders, albeit probably with more stress in the overall effort.

Of course, the people starting companies usually aren’t guessing they have a 10% chance of success; you need to believe you’re an outlier to be successful in the startup game, it seems to me.
Well until we create a more peaceful world we will not have the opportunity to find out.

* How can we use waste heat from nuclear reactors to promote gender equality?

* How can we generate power homes using giant propellers?

* How can monkey viruses cure blindness?

* How can adding impurities to a conductor let it perform mathematics?

It’s illegal discrimination to provide programs only for the majority sex — see rulings on only having sports programs for men. (Women have been the majority of college students since the 1980s.)

There’s nothing wrong with women in STEM programs, but not having matching men-in-social-sciences programs is a Title IX violation... precisely in the way only having sports for men would be.

You can have programs for no one; you can have programs for everyone; you cant have programs only for one sex.

That’s literally the point of civil rights laws.
Exactly. There won’t be a route for self-employed workers either.

You'd think that, but understand that Nvidia's primary advantage is actually in the drivers. In the graphics industry it's known that AMD GPUs often perform better at various tasks as they become highly optimized. However Nvidia GPUs most often benchmark better. As it turns out Nvidia drivers have an enormous set of optimizations it can enable based on heuristics which end up being the key to making up most of the difference.

Which law is being broken? Also (in my personal opinion) criminality should be obvious to a general person, some kind of complex technical illegality may not make the whole company a "criminal organization". A lot of reputed companies like Google get fined on regular basis world over does not make them criminal organizations.

A lot of companies would also willingly break the law depending on the risk tolerance they have, many of those laws result into civil penalties and not jail time for CEO so that also matters.

Multiple streams of income is one of the "tricks" of wealthy folks, but it's generally passive or minimal-effort income like investing or rental properties. The only item on that list worth the electrons it's written with is the consulting idea, but even that takes time from your daily job.

None of these are viable "alternate" streams for the vast majority of people. This feels a lot like someone saying "hey, the gig economy is great! What do you need free time for?"

That was my thought: I studied a PhD in the UK and left several years ago (I am not form the EU).

Looking at this point system seems that it will be easier for me to get into the UK:

- STEM PHD (Comp. Sci) 20
- More than 25 GBP (I would look for a Sr./Tech Lead or managerial position) 20
- English speaking (well... I did write a PhD thesis in English so I try my best haha) 10
- Job at appropriate skill level: That reads subjective but I assume it will be easy to confirm 20
- Job in Shortage Occupation: 2136 Programmers and software development professionals: 20

So it seems that I would cover the 70 points even without a job offer. Now I only need to find the right company.

I guess I "like" this system because it looks skewed towards people with my profile.
I spent an entire year living on my own, never inviting a single other person into my home and only entering the home of another person (save for immediate family, during holiday) once. Having chat apps made that experience much more bearable and actually did lead to a handful of real-world, albeit mostly long-distance, friendships (in that I host them in town for one week out of the year and they host me for one week out of the year).

At this point, I think chat apps can improve things in some ways for some people.

But that year alone mostly just made me hungry for more real face-to-face bonding. Apart from the people who are well-enough off to travel, but poor enough to have no friends, I’m not sure any chat app really has a place in your social life unless creating real-world friendships is one of its primary goals and it’s designed to actually achieve that effectively.
Without a VPN sure, with a VPN,highly recommended even with centralized DoH.

Google,mozilla and cloudflare have open DoH resolvers. For a long time less than 13 orgs controlled the 13 TLD root zones. For such an infant of a protocol 3 stable open resolvers is not bad and even if it stayed this way it is noy centralized. What stops every ISP and company from hosting a recursive DoH resolver. I think people forget that open resolvers are provided at the generosity of the companies that host them. By design, your local network should provide name resolution recursively.

I really think VPN providers should also provide (open?) DoH resolvers,it helps with their privacy image and a good/fast resolver helps with their performance image.

The one thing from the article that’s new to me and I didn’t see mentioned elsewhere:

> DNS over HTTPS offers additional tracking capabilities

> DNS over HTTPS opens up DNS to all the tracking possibilities present in HTTPS and TLS. As it stands, DNS over UDP almost always gets some free privacy by mixing all devices on a network together – an outside snooper sees a stream of queries coming from a household, a coffeeshop or even an entire office building, with no way to tie a query to any specific device or user. Such mixing of queries provides an imperfect but useful modicum of privacy.

> DNS over HTTPS however neatly separates out each device (and even each individual application on that device) to a separate query stream. This alone is worrying, as we now have individual users’ queries, but the TLS that underlies HTTPS also typically uses TLS Resumption which offers even further tracking capabilities.

> In short, setting up an encrypted connection eats up precious CPU cycles both on client and server. It is therefore possible to reuse a previously established encrypted state for subsequent connections, which saves a lot of time and processor energy.

> It does however make it possible to track an application from IP address to IP address because this TLS Resumption session ID is effectively a cookie that uniquely tracks users across network and IP address changes.
> IFTTT to webhook for cron

From what I understand their market is basically companies that have already bought into a Mac based workflow and for whom the switching costs (retraining on new software, rebuilding tools etc) would be so high that Apple can practically charge whatever they want. This doesn't seem like a good long term strategy though.
The best way to figure it out is to gauge how much competition you have. If there's a lot of low quality hacks that solve the problem, you're on to something.

Facebook's competitor wasn't just Myspace or Friendster; it was Yahoo Groups, AIM, IRC.

iPhone's competitors were Symbian, Java ME, whatever Microsoft planned for mobile.

Netflix's competitor was The Pirate Bay.

The competitor of some fancy Italian restaurant isn't some cheap Italian restaurant. It's fancy steakhouses, fancy Japanese restaurants, or theatres - the real value proposition is that it's a way to spend money on a good night.

It's a skill to find it, but it's also good homework - then you really know what people need and how to pitch it.

The existence of these bodies reduces the scope of the problem to merely one of first identifying an appropriate organisation that certifies the product type in question, and then ensuring the organisation is legitimate.

Do you think it's easier for a consumer to discover and vet certification organisations than it is for them to discover and vet transportation organisations?

The price signal you mention is the strongest one, which is why pigovian taxes are often the most effective approach to tackling negative externalities. It's a good example of the sort of government regulation that is many orders of magnitude more effective than individual action.

> The British had something precious until not long ago: a working welfare state, a welcoming society, and an influx of enthusiastic citizens from all across the EU. It’s sad that they are throwing it all away.

That’s a breathtakingly arrogant assertion. The UK and it’s constituent countries have a 2,000 year history. England invented parliamentary government—it eased gently into democracy several hundred years ago, whereas on most of the continent, democracy had to be achieved through violent revolution. Much of the EU didn’t even achieve democracy until the 20th century. It invented many of the concepts of legal rights that are encoded in law across the world. Many countries around the world have language in their constitutions that traces its origins back to the 800 year old Magna Carta. Countries that use British law account for 40% of world GDP. English speaking countries account for a quarter of the world’s GDP. The EU is a tiny blip in British history.
Ironically, this is exactly the absurd tragi-comic way a dystopian England would try to wear out legal immigrants.
It likely depends somewhat on the team and specific company.

However, the baseline level of individual competence and motivation is relatively high, which seems to reduce the need for process.

A thought experiment: unemployment and the economic distrib. of scarce resources
One day, a spaceship full of robot aliens arrives at Earth. It has several million peaceful robot aliens. They are all very smart, very strong, and very fast: they can do anything you can do better. They can do anything better than you.

And they do everything. Due to being very fast, and there being millions of them, they are able to do 99% of the jobs on the Earth, and do it cheaper and better than any human.

Hold on, you say. If no one has a job, then everyone will work for pennies, right? But you still have to pay for rent. You still have to buy food. A mother working as a bank teller in California still has to pay for $3000 in expenses on her $2000 salary, or whatever.

Since these robot aliens work very fast, they still have some leisure time. People build giant amusement parks, built by the robot aliens, of course, in which the robot aliens pay huge sums for some entertainment. Importantly, these amusement parks take up lots of land. Rich people are continually buying up more land and making more of these amusement parks.

This drives up land costs and the price of rent. Not only is 99% of the human population still out of work, but they are having to spend their savings even faster to avoid becoming homeless.

There are two solutions to this dire situation: the first is to tax the robot aliens and redistribute the money. The additional spending that results could even create jobs for a few humans.

The second solution is to find some way of getting the robot aliens to work less.

These two solutions are also the ones we find in real life. Except that in real life, the hard-working robot aliens don't like being taxed and pay lobbyists to lobby for lower taxes, spend money on advertising that says that higher taxes are bad, and are numerous enough to vote for lower taxes.

That leaves getting the robot aliens to work less.
A classical race condiction double bug. What happens here is there is a a special case of the data. So other routine of processing the data is used.

It causes a race condition that results in proving incomplete data to the next step of the process.

There is surely logic to prevent it from happening. But the data initially used the bad routine so no one expects the race condition to occur.

And at the end we have a bad routine that processes data badly because data are bad and incomplete. This routine does not expect how it receives the data and in what time.

In a result rendering breaks, but for the logic of the code it seems fine. So the error block is displayed. Gor GPU rendering it is a black box.

What is interesting if you did deep enought to find all these 3 issues that cause it each of them separately is fine. It is what they do together causes the issue.

Very nasty thing to track. And also fix. Because on a high level there is little to about it. And a workaround is mostly to detect the situation and process data slightly different way to avoid the issue, or to just do processing two times in a rather hacky way.

Hmm. The article says "retailer" twice in the first paragraph, but the policy only applies to the distribution center (according to the second paragraph). In other words, the jobs they're hiring "the first person who applies" for are the jobs that literally anyone (who satisfies their three criteria - eligible to work in the US, can stand on their feet for eight hours, can lift 50 pounds) can do. They do not seem to be applying this policy to their actual retail sales jobs.

Not immediately. Universal health coverage means employers lose the ability to use health plans as a benefit and/or part of an employee’s total compensation. So unions will likely then be negotiating to see that turned into cash.

Although, universal health plans also mean employees, unionized or not, win the freedom to change jobs because they’re no longer tied to jobs they hate just to remain insured. I don’t think many people are considering or discussing this at large in the conversation about MfA. This will be a huge social and employment benefit for people with families/children, as well as those with existing—especially serious and costly—conditions. It could be something unions will temporarily grapple with in defending their importance.

I have no doubt, however, that something will replace healthcare at the negotiating table. Capital and labor are forever locked in conflict.
