What apps are using Apple Sign In, anyway? I haven't run into any and kind of just assumed it died or hasn't launched yet.

Ethereum 2.0 audit complete, July release expected
I have been wondering about this myself. I have a cat that lives entirely outside, the second sweetest cat ever. If I get sick I sure don't want to infect my cat. Now, I wouldn't mind if the cat caught it, was not sick herself and then passed it on to some of the rat population around here as long as the rats got sick.

Also, are there any reports that this virus can jump to birds like chickens? I have been looking for chickens since eggs seem to be in short supply around here.

Good luck to all of y'all.
It doesn't though, that's not how flash works. The floating gate traps electrons in a pool of insulation (that they only got in there in the first place due to quantum tunneling).
The meat price across the globe has actually seen a U shaped move. A lot of panic slaughter was done when people though that they need to sell their meat before the price crashes through the floor. And before that, there were people capitalising on historically high meat prices because of ASF in China.

Now it is shooting up again across the globe as lockdowns spread to more countries.

Industrial meatpackers are making a killing now thought

I started my own SaaS business on the side and quit my 40 hour work week a couple years later to work full time on it (and have been loving doing so ever since).

You'll probably get a lot of practical suggestions on processes from others here, but I really enjoyed Peter Thiel's Zero to One book. It's not 100% relevant since he rambles pretty hard throughout and a lot of it needs a pinch of salt since he's so contrarian, but there's a lot of really good gems in there about how to build something legitimately new to create your own pie of income (including chapters on marketing, pricing, etc), instead of building something to get a small slice of an existing market.
For myself, it's easier to remember not to touch my face when wearing gloves.

The degree to which the following are effective is speculation: Skin generates oils that collect dirt, including viruses; gloves do not. Skin is likely more porous than glove material. If skin gets cut (e.g., I have a torn cuticle) it takes longer to heal than replacing a glove.
1) laying fiber (either trenched or on utility poles) will likely be your biggest expense, it requires a huge, huge investment to be able to put infrastructure through a significant area. Think about feet of conduit a several-person crew can drive per day whether by trenching/trenchless methods - it's not that many. Microtrenching promised to significantly reduce this cost but Google Fiber's experiment with it went famously poorly.

2) ROWs to run cable will need to be negotiated either with the municipality (if laying underground) which can come with a lot of difficult restrictions on work quality, traffic disruption, etc, or with the electrical utility in the case of utility poles in an area with a typical franchise agreement, in which case the utilities are often uninterested in the project and will just generally make your life difficult through slow consideration of engineering proposals, requiring extensive up-front engineering work, etc. In a small town I had some involvement in the electric utility demanded over $1mm up front for engineering surveys on pole attachment - this for a market of ~8k people, and before any actual attachment fees. Completely blew the budget of the potential broadband provider which had planned a total of $3-4mm in up-front.

3) After running infrastructure, providing drops to each house is a fairly costly and disruptive up-front operation per customer (may even be trenching their front yard), which discourages customers signing up with your service when the incumbent providers already have house drops in place. You will also either have to eat this cost or pass it to the customer as an install fee or a term agreement, all of those options are bad in different ways.

4) IPv4 exhaustion has hit new ISPs hard and you are going to have to do CG-NAT. ISPs like to think customers don't care but in practice this is indeed a headache.
Is that actually true? TARP cost $426 billion in 2008 and when the assets were finally sold off in 2014, they summed $442 billion. So that's a 3.7% return during a time when the s&p 500 more than doubled in value.

Do you have some examples where the government made these returns?

Finally a proper design with proper engineering and reliability testing. Also, no 3D printing nonsense (which makes production of high volume components non-viable).
I'm not sure why you think "decent cooper" is as good as fiber. Unless you can deliver me 1Gbps symmetrically like my current fiber, you're inadequate. I currently have two kids doing remote learning, a wife who's starting to VPN at times, and I myself work remotely at least 9 hours a day for the last 20 days.

My podunk town has FTH through a municipal partnership. It works great. If my town can do it, I expect every other town above a population of 300K to do it as well. It's not rocket science.

The problem is with people saying crap like "good enough." The Network Director at my company said that a wireless (GSM) connection of 1Mbps was "good enough." I laughed and said that explains why our LAN and WAN speeds are so bad. WiFi in a conference room with an access point directly overhead fails half the time.

Good enough...

Times are changing. 20 years ago I worked at a distance learning company creating H.S. courseware. Cutting edge stuff that was lost in a market that didn't care. Too many competing interests. But I bet all those education administrators wish they had invested in more than Chromebooks that don't have courseware.
Although I mostly agree, there’s certain types of simple, fundamental performance considerations you want to take when writing code the first time, otherwise you’re just needlessly dealing with tones of performance issues in prod. Like make sure your DB queries are well covered by indexes, if you’re repeatedly looking up items from a list, turn it into a map or set first, in FE code try to keep re-renders to areas of the UI that need updating, etc.

Correctness and simplicity are almost always things you want to focus on over performance, but there’s still SOME level of simple performance best practices that you want to stick to up front. Similar to the tradeoff between YAGNI and software architecture - if you don’t start with some sort of coherent architecture, your project is gonna descend into a spaghetti mess. Ignore simple performance best practices and you’ll spend way too much time fighting performance issues.
Dividends and buybacks don't change net profit, so it has no effect on the analysis that the industry as a whole is not very profitable over long time periods.
You’re incorrect. See the following for 1 county (all but few counties tax cars annually based on how many days of the year the car was registered): https://www.westwarwickri.org/index.asp?SEC=30FC8E02-8C49-44...
What is making you think that monopolies can only occur with government action? The first utility to service a region is a de-facto monopoly. I also gave two examples already of ways monopolies have occurred without government intervention: anti-competitive behavior and barriers to entry. Monopolies without government intervention are common enough that there’s a term for it: Natural Monopoly https://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/natural_monopoly.asp

That article gives more examples of ways monopolies occur without government intervention, such as mergers and takeovers, and collusion and price fixing. All of these things have happened multiple times in the past, so history provides all the proof we need that lobbying or other government assistance is not required for monopolies to form.

”this […] uses a microphone to pick up the sound vibration”

It’s described as a ”Telephone Pick Up Coil with Microphone”, but I don’t see how one would need both a coil and a microphone to pick up the signal, and I would think a coil to be the more reliable method, so I suspect it only has a coil, picking up the signal though electromagnetic induction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction)

Thank you zoom.us for the best tool available right now with a fair and acceptable price model. A special thank you also for the great Linux support, that is absolutely unmatched from all other "solutions".

I am very sorry that so many bad publicity happens right now, but as far I know even bad publicity is good in the end.

I don’t know much about Inkscape’s press capabilities, but Affinity Designer’s are what make it so valuable for me. The first illustration app good enough for me to move off of Adobe. The proprietary format may be necessary to support features for press/Adobe compatibility.

Anyway, with all these graphics tools like Affinity and Pixelmator that are an order of magnitude less than what came before, I don’t mind holes in feature sets—they’re just a set of tools to pick between for each job.
a short-term oversight is warranted to get a company reorganized (happens in bankruptcies, for example), but long-term oversight can be detrimental to the best interests of citizens by keeping companies overly constrained from feeling and responding to market conditions.

and as others have noted, the return to citizens of such companies goes beyond its profits, so it's wise not to get to focused just on distributing those profits.

beyond that, let's make sure the shareholders and executives feel the pain of their decisions, so they can adjust for risk in the future. let shareholders take a serious haircut (you can cram them down by creating a large pool of new, unallocated stock) and for execs, take back all incentives beyond a reasonable salary for the past 5 years. you can take that reclaimed incentive and form forward-going incentives the execs can work for again.
do you also look forward to the 10x grocery shit-bill you will be stuck with?
As toll grows, a new worry: Morgue capacity and bodies as sources of infection
That basically seems to be New Zealand's (and Australia's?) mode of operation. Give the rich countries' young adults fresh out of school a work&travel visa for a year and extend it for a few months with sufficient farm work. They have fun doing new and interesting things and return to their countries with a good impression of yours. Of course that won't work if every place tries it though. I wonder how they're faring right now.
Wait, this is the industry that produced the 737 MAX, which skirted regulations and design flaws to avoid costly retrofits, redesigns and training, in order to maximize profits for shareholders.

This is the industry actively sending out planes for repair and refurb to sketchy offshore repair centers, in order to maximize profits for shareholders.

This is the industry that lobbies against more strict pilot fatigue rules, in order to maximize profits for shareholders.

This is the industry that spent the last decade investing heavily in stock buybacks instead of improving passenger experience, maintenance of their planes and employee well being, in order to maximize profits for their shareholders.

Seems maintaining shareholder profitability is its own safety issue.
The airline companies are the major spreaders of c19. While unintentional, this is a fact as is their ability to have put in some safeguards to slow down prevention like forcing sick people to wear masks and gloves (and ideally to fly on separate planes when possible) and disinfecting their planes after each flight. In this case, they directly caused a huge part of this crisis, much more so than in 2008. Also, airlines that have done stock buybacks should never be bailed out. They knowingly put themselves into a poor situation that should bankrupt them. In all of these cases, the airlines themselves are culpable and don't deserve any bailouts.
Haven’t done anything with Apple sign in, but I worked with a lot of other providers before. If you have multiple options, users might forget what service they used. This becomes an even bigger problem if the paid for a service with a different provider and can’t find their purchase. If you do use something like this, only having one provider (only Apple) makes things less confusing.
"We have more than "a few" datapoints at this time"

We do? Have we determined the duration where we can declare the climate process stationary (in a stochastic sense, of course)?

> As I'm sure everyone here is well aware, throwing more money at a development team doesn't necessarily make it faster.

But it does, especially over a multi-year timespan. Unless you really screw up in managing or hiring.

Assuming you hire reasonably skilled engineers and accept that they will take some time to integrate with the team (and that this will temporarily slow the team) then eventually you can build more stuff in any window of time.

For reference, see almost every software company.
Vanishingly few (maybe even zero) industrial static analysis tools are sound. FPs are too common, especially for something like C++ where common code patterns can only be soundly handled by just forcing everything to Top. Good luck with your sound interprocedural pointer analysis as soon as somebody makes an indirect call.
The WHO is relevant because every national, state and local medical authority and doctor has been trained and conditioned to trust them over the past decades. Even now you will find, infectious disease doctors citing WHO guidance in articles and on twitter. There is a level of faith in WHO which seems no longer warranted.
You are on a different continent, we can just look at the labels on food to see where it comes from.
well, you know, bad publicity because of bad practices.

The airlines also invested poorly this time around though. They spent all their money on dividends and buybacks instead of saving for a downtown. American Airlines, which was the worst balance sheet, famously declared they were doing so well that the airline industry wouldn’t hit a catastrophe again!

“American Airlines has been rather irresponsible with its capital allocation in recent years. As shown in the tables above, it spent the highest proportion of its operating cash flow (52%) on dividends and buybacks, despite also spending more on capex than any of its peers.”

“American paid for most of this capex by issuing debt and entering sale-leaseback transactions. Meanwhile, it returned a little more than half of its operating cash flow to shareholders over this period, mainly through buybacks.”

https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/03/25/american-airlines-...

This article tries to make the point that not all airlines were equally bad but let’s face it American was the first one to need a bailout and they definitely squandered their financial position.
At this point, any app that is sold on the App Store that offers any OIDC auth options (e.g. Google, Facebook) MUST also include Sign in with Apple.
Many people can write brute force implementations. But while the meme is funny and great, it only shows a part of reality: sometimes you do have to optimize things. Just don't do it too early and only if there is a clear use case that requires the speed. Then you should be able to write fast code, or at least know which library to use that has a good implementation of the algorithm you need.

Some companies like GAFAM probably put too large focus onto algorithmic questions, but they can afford to lose otherwise good engineers who are bad at algorithmic questions. They need something to filter the masses of applicants they receive.
I haven’t seen it until about 5 minutes ago— the ZDF (one of the German national broadcast channels) uses it for their on demand app. Otherwise I frequently use Apple Pay with Lieferando (a European delievery Service). Have to say it’s pretty seamless and it saves me 3 taps compared to paying with PayPal.
?! Maybe was. A long transition... but it mostly happened already.

Nowadays I'm mildly annoyed if a project is on one of those "ancient" 3 but ≤3.6 Python versions and I can't use the nice features in 3.7+...

What do you mean by "privatize the profits" here? Are you ignoring taxation?

One way to view the government's role here is that it shifts around externalities to achieve efficiency. You can put cap-and-trade restrictions to absorb negative externalize in high-pollution industries and redistribute that to consumer/producer markets that suffer from the pollution.

You can probably apply a similar piece of reasoning across time. Government can tax industries during booms and then redistribute that during busts.

Dogs: 84.1%
Cats: 85.2%

Maybe try some more common words. I didn't get any results for my first few searches ("worldbuilding", "terraforming", and "dimensional"), but got some for "writing" and "creating".
Totally fake. Electrons just move. How does this kind of shit make it on a web site? And then to "hacker news."

That's like when you "charge" a battery you "add electrons" to it. Fake again. You just move them from one side to the other. Generators don't create energy either, they just move it. Water pumps don't create water, they just move it.

People are so stupid.
I believe type sytems/type theory is likely going to be the most popular method for formal verification of programs (aka static analysis). And of course, there's a limit to what you can prove about programs (ref: Rice's theorem).
It's clang, not rust.

And clang's analyzer has different UI concept via web, which is far superior. And for the screen valgrind has a far superior solution. I don't see the advantage of gcc's analyzer yet. Far too verbose. and the most important errors, like wrong optimizer decisions based on their interpretation of UB code are still silenced.
I love how this Fed has got people thinking employment is irrelevant.

Sure, maybe if some people stopped working for a few months, it wouldn't matter to much.

But we still need energy and water and food (and Internet). And most of this requires actual work being done. Not just updating numbers on a spreadsheet.
Or they could be one of the many companies that were all spooled up and had spent a wad of cash to launch at one of the many events of the late winter and spring that were cancelled. Sure, they'll do what they can but a lot of money and effort pretty much went down the drain and a lot of startups don't have that kind of margin.
Another more UK-centric Guardian article that may be of interest:

The reality is, the proportion of your fresh fruit cost that is migrant labour isn't very much. If that cost only were passed on, we wouldn't see much of a difference in price.

Kinda how like Walmart could double the wage of its retail employees by increasing its prices by 6%.
Airlines could have limited the spread.
I think this is also naive. You don't need an acre, nor is it backbreaking labour. The biggest time sink for home gardeners in my experience is watering, which you can solve by timed drip irrigation. Some plants like beans and peas are so easy to grow that they'll take over if you don't manage them. Potatoes are also pretty robust.

However, growing year-round is hard. It's relatively easy to feed yourself over the summer/fall if you're dedicated, but maintaining enough to feed your family over the winter is much more difficult and requires planning (and if anything goes wrong you lose the crop).

The biggest advantage for me is growing crops which are very expensive in stores and are easily wasted - like bagged salads, tomatoes that taste good, etc. Plus you can pick weird heritage varieties. We get a small veg box once a week and a small plot in our garden and we rarely buy vegetables when we go shopping.
Did you read the article?

There's not much of a design. There are some specifications.

It seems they are currently trying to split up work.

It's definitely unfinished.
> briefly mention that there is a implicit constant factor k in O(k n log(n)) and then they never mention it again

A fine concrete example of this is the Coppersmith–Winograd algorithm (and its derivatives), a matrix multiplication algorithm with impressive complexity properties, but which in practice always loses to the Strassen algorithm, despite Strassen's inferior complexity. [0][1][2]

(Aside: the Strassen algorithm is pretty mind-bending, but also easily shown. If you've got 22 minutes spare, there's a good explanation of it on YouTube. Perhaps there's a more dense source elsewhere. [3])

> It’s not until they get lectures from greybeard software engineers that they learn about the reality algos and not just the idealized algos.

To mirror what some others are saying here, students should also be taught the realities of cache behaviour, SIMD-friendliness, branch prediction, multi-threaded programming, real-time constraints, hardware acceleration, etc.

Yeah, I think probably it's never going to get easier. If you come across somebody who knows a little about pronouncing Persian names, they'll probably get it right, but there's only so much people can manage. I doubt most native Persians would be able to accurately transcribe English and Scottish names with Farsi rules, unless they had some specific exposure.
The question can be simplified to: does a charged capacitor weight more?

As a first approximation, the answer is No: each electron on the negative plate is balanced by a missing electron on the positive plate.
