I know but what if TSMC had to apply possible US sanctions against China? First, TSMC would be a US company, which could give the USA an excuse to tell TSMC to apply sanctions against China. Also, the USA could take the US factory.
If markets were truly random, I'd expect (approaching) 100% of day traders to lose money (or gain 0), because the expected value is 0. It's like betting on a coin flip. Since we're at 90%, it's pretty close.
Funny. At my HS there was also a game where you'd hang out in the drafting lab during lunch, and try to eat your lunch food while playing Wolfenstein 3D, without the teacher noticing the food part.

I don't know whether Iraq's current culture is amenable to democracy. However I don't know that the U.S.'s current culture is actually more amenable to democracy. Further, the idea that the U.S. military effort aims to install democracy has been disproven over and over again - the U.S. military generally aims to install regimes that are friendly to U.S. military and business interests, regardless of the wishes of the local people who are actually governed. This is the opposite of democracy. So it seems inappropriate and even offensive to bring up the question of whether Iraq is ready for democracy, though I don't think you intended to be offensive.

So do you opportunistically gather info about what other peers have via this gossip protocol, or just when you need something?

I had looked at https://datprotocol.github.io/how-dat-works/ , but I don't remember anything about a gossip protocol or a peer building a "view of the world". Is that new?

Based on their presentation they are building the cars to last that long. All the electronics and everything else is designed to last.

If you look at the videos of the Model Y breakdown you can see that they did a lot of stuff that is slightly more expansive but should improve lifetime.

They want to be able run these vehicles into the ground making profit for them, specially after coming of leases.
If you were able to afford a $250k house on $40k/year salary, why can't you afford a $1 million house on a "comfortable six figure salary" (if, presumably, that means at least $160k/year)?
Alternatively, Reddit could roll this out slowly and give Ethereum 2.0 a chance to land. By 2021/2022 when Ethereum 2.0 Phase 2 lands, scalability of Ethereum should be much greater than it is today and it should be a solved problem.

Also, most of the transactions between Reddit users can be done off chain if needed. I'm not sure how they've designed their architecture, but it does make sense to aggregate multiple transactions into fewer, big transactions instead of small microtransactions for every comment.

I'm not saying remove it from the dev cycle; you can stand up a remote server for whatever testing happens during your normal workflow without a) buying a physical server box to use as your workstation, or b) constraining yourself to working via a terminal.
This only proves the point. The UK’s response is among the worst in the developed world. Similar to the US’s response.

I use Okular because I like being able to:

- Highlight

- Leave expandable comments

- See the page thumbnails

- Have access to area select/table select

- Configure my pdf reader quite a bit

I spend a lot of time reading .pdfs because I'm in grad school right now. Using Okular is way more convenient than trying to use browsers. This is not a strange use case at all, many people who frequently read .pdfs have the same needs.

And it's clearly not trying to sell me on a pdf editor, because it's not related to a paid editor. Or at least I'm not aware of it, either way is fine by me.
Working on "Grow a Story". It's based on the old drill/game "advance and expand" where someone starts a story and hands it off to someone else. As a user, you have three actions: start a new story, expand an existing story, or refine.

Refine is the most interesting part, you are essentially editing the transition between two story nodes. The goal is to not add much, but make the transition smoother. Was thinking of capping the allowed delta in some way and requiring the original authors to approve the story "PR".
One of my side projects was setting up a K8s cluster that ran Hydra in containers, used Hydra to build packages, and Kubenix to build and deploy services to the cluster. It was a little closed loop.. my goal was to have it building and deploying itself fully.

Unfortunately Kubenix was too immature, my knowledge of Nix insufficient, and Hydra required privileged containers due to Nix build sandboxing.

Have you used nix as a primary build system rather than a meta build system? If it works, I might have the energy to revive my project.

"One of history’s fews iron laws is that luxuries tend to become necessities and to spawn new obligations." Sapiens, By Yuval Noah Harari

This quote stood out for me when I read Sapiens.
I stopped using Lightroom because it seems to want to modify the Windows Explorer to have a Creative Cloud section and their background software constantly pops up to tell you that it still exists.

What's nice about their subscription model is that there is no sunk cost when giving up. It's $5/month and you just stop paying it.

(I switched to Affinity Photo for editing but never found anything I liked for organization/library management. I just copy files around now. It ends up being OK because about 50% of my photos are from my phone, 25% are from a DSLR, and 25% are from film scans. Lightroom never helped me with phone or scanned photos, really, so I didn't give much up. Would still like some central self-hosted photo collector, though. Maybe Perkeep is what I want.)
In many countries proving someone is a low performer is a high bar. They certainly can't dump 10% of their workforce without a justification like restructuring or downsizing, something a company wouldn't go through just to replace some people. A fake restructuring might hurt the business even more than some lower performing employees. And if a company does go through this phase, legally it can't just turn around and upsize by hiring other people the next day (not that this would guarantee they end up in a better position than before).

Such a crisis is a good moment to slim down the workforce since it is a legitimate restructuring and it avoids any image harm. and it's not just low performers that suffer sometimes. An average performer might get caught in the net if the pay/performance ratio is not good. Many good performers also do just because the area they worked in is not deemed profitable or necessary anymore.
I had mentioned this in another post. I am personally sick and tired out working from home for over 2 months and cannot wait to get back to office. This is probably driven a lot by my role (PM) where you are basically in an endless stream of zoom meetings from 9-5. I get a nasty headache at the end of the day. I also yearn for social connections, quick chats, meeting in an outdoor space etc.
Honestly, given this and your other replies, it just seems you have an axe to grind, because you're essentially agreeing with my point: none of the regulators, wall-street investors, or people clamoring for the economy to reopen cared when the manufacturing industries collapsed here. And now all of a sudden, they care about people working? They didn't back then. They do now because THEIR pocket books are hurting.

I'm not from the valley - born and raised, and live currently, in Pittsburgh. My father was a steel worker, my grandfather on one side an ironworker, the other a steelworker as well. I've seen the downfall, and some of the comeback, and it's a great place - but there are so many areas that are really bad and haven't recovered, and you say "people still live there" - well, look at their population 50 years ago, and try living there now. Because if you did, your tune would damn well change in 5 minutes.
The Quantum Thief: imagine a world (mainly in the local solar system) where all the coolest tech exists. Nanites, uploading your brain to a computer, the ability to control quantum effects, meyacortexes, advanced cryptography, etc. It's hard to read since it's kinda based on hard physics, but very fun. I'm on the second book in the series.

Ninefox Gambit: the physical world (some far off place with a lot of worlds in space) can be controlled by events that occur and the common use of a specific calendar system and using specific formations like a 'spell'. It's basically a heavily math oriented magic system that runs all of the tech in the universe, and different calendar systems have different effects. It's hard to explain here, but a really fun 'sci-fi fantasy' novel.
I see what you're saying -- money isn't useful until it's spent. But I think the argument is that a wealthy person doesn't put that extra 98% of their money under a mattress, they invest it. Now they have passive income on top of their previous income, and their effective tax rate from sales tax is even lower. Until eventually they have so much well that they don't have to work at all, and neither do their descendants, and you have an aristocracy.
if you think the difference within a country is bad try being a developer in Russia, India, or China.
I expect to see a lot of companies doing this. You read the same exact docs whether you live in SF or Bulgaria. If anything you have better math skills outside the U.S. which helps you more than a language barrier would matter.

Some might argue the best engineering is here, maybe that's correct maybe not, but companies rarely want the best. They just want the cheapest possible tool for the job they think they have. If a remote dev is significantly cheaper than a U.S. based remote dev, no business will be paying that premium.
This is an API issue, not a protocol issue.

Looking at the Android API docs, it looks like Google does not trust government apps and so provides only limited data and alerts the user with a popup when the app asks for information.

It's not clear why Google doesn't provide the UI themselves, although maybe they intend to do so at a later time?

"co-opting some of their views" for sure happened to me. I don't think it's bad thing, though.

I'm curiously drawn towards anyone whom has people shouting "don't give them a platform!" or has suggestions that their ideas are so powerful that they may somehow corrupt minds weaker than, presumably, their own superior ones.

So I semi-regularly listen to these "alt" people. Alex Jones, McInnes, molyneux, and so on. The co-opting was largely realizing that in-between some of the crazy (there's a fair amount to filter out in Jones' case), there are these kernels of truth, often backed by government documents or reports.

The co-opting ideas, I guess, was a general realization that the common narrative doesn't necessarily reflect the entire reality. Even things which are presented as cut and dry, are often a frustrating messy grey once you dig into them. It's also given me a general skepticism of commonly held opinions about people in general. These "literal cult leader", "literal nazis", etc... have turned out to be less monsters and more humans with nuanced opinions which don't necessarily translate to 5min clips.

Interesting, but I'm skeptical it could make some semblance of normal life "safe" purely through occupancy counts. It also seems like a likely very expensive solution to something that could be solved with a handheld clicker. Corporate offices might splurge for it, but they're also more likely to just have people working from home.

Well, any typical electric motor could trivially be considered a "rotary".

I did save one of the rotors from the engine. Maybe I can think of some whimsical use for it, like cut a thin slice off it and weld it to something as a sort of decoration.
> it comes across as malicious harassment rather than a genuine legal complaint

Legal harassment is an issue when individual citizens and small businesses are targeted with frivolous lawsuits clearly intended to burn as much of their time and money as possible.

This is not the case here. Google and Facebook deserve every privacy lawsuit they get. They have the resources to deal with it too.

One thing I never see talked about with this kind of stuff is taxes.

e.g, when Stellar was aidropped to Keybase users, that's... technically the start of a taxable chain of events. I donated mine to the Freedom of the Press foundation, and thus had to report it.

I had a time of it back during the second crypto craze, which I'm thankfully out of. I know how to report this crap. I am not sure, to this day, whether joe schmoe average user even realizes they have to.

So in this case my question becomes: is Reddit foisting a tax liability on their users without them understanding this? Does this ever come up in discussion and I've just missed it entirely?
communicating that someone is upset while at the same time expressing that they're still willing to abide by the standards of polite conversation.

> Why are fabs being built in az?

If you are asking about Intel ones, and ones owned by the defence hardware industry, it is the same reason why China is building their fabs as far inland as Xian, and other obscure and scattered across places: they are harder to bomb there.
Pretty sure the value is negative. You couldn't just throw them in the trash, you'd have to pay someone to take them. 350 nm process, which has gone down almost a factor of 100 by now (apparently 3nm is in prototype), and that's a linear measurement so it's really more like 10,000. Stunning. A silicon atom is about .1 nm in diameter, so a factor of 10 is about it for physical shrinking, definitely not a factor of 100. I hope that we'll be sitting here in 20 years amazed that petaflop computers drew megawatts of power!

You aren't seriously implying than any bystander is capable of extending LLVM to map CUDA to SPIR-V? What percentage of present day gainfully employed software engineers do you suppose even has the background knowledge? How many hours do you suppose the work would require?

Blazing fast.
Remember too that AMD and Intel won the contracts for Aurora, Frontier, and El Cap (the three exascale machines for the DOE). I imagine MLX is a big part of getting the next contracts as well as seeing that a lot of these projects are IO bound, not compute. If you can bring supercomputing like abilities to datacenters or AI labs, that'd be a huge advantage. If you could easily split a huge model across 64 GPUs and train like it was on a single node, this would change the space.
These are also the same cultural amenities that make a rural area desirable (what's really left after you've listed everything). These businesses are far more likely to come back in cities with different investors, they may never open up again in rural areas.
Those metrics are for both GPUs on a board; the GCP K80 only uses one GPU, so those performance metrics in theory would be halved (notably, the GCP K80 has 12 GB VRAM vs. T4's 16 GB VRAM), and it's still more expensive than a T4.
Ah, no. I see your point, this is as a fellow poster indicated, the location for your Creative Cloud Files folder. I will check with the team to see if we can make the language clearer.
Thank you for your kind words. I am currently adding A/B testing functionality to userTrack.

Everyone pressures me to change the model into a service, but I think that by sticking to the product way I can understand what the biggest pain points are for users and the current state of the internet when setting up your own services/products instead of renting them. Also, I plan to open-source it at some point after I can earn enough to sustain myself.

> I think that Bush was sincere in his belief that bringing democracy to Iraq was a (if not the) primary goal of the Iraq War, and that doing so would be beneficial to the Iraqis.

I believe that Bush probably stroked himself thinking this way, as did virtually the entire media and political class. However I don't think it was anywhere close to a primary goal, as you say. More to the point: their actual conduct in the war does not indicate in any way that this was a genuine goal as opposed to a piece of propaganda.

> While I wouldn't call it "allergic to democracy", I can also entertain arguments that successful democratic regimes have preconditions for their success that Iraq simply did not have.

Any citations for this notion? But to restate a point I made in another comment: the discussion of whether Iraq is ready for democracy is almost offensively inappropriate and nonsequitur, because the U.S. military does not aim to install democracy, it aims to install regimes that are friendly to U.S. military and business interests, regardless of the wishes of the local people who are governed.

To put it another way, we have no way of knowing whether Iraq is "ready for democracy" based on the Iraq War because the U.S. military did not act in a way to actually try to install democracy.

Hi Savraj! Can you be more specific? I link to specific comments all the time, so am not sure what you mean.
Sort of off topic, I've noticed news articles have been very lax with basic editing:

"Thursday, the layoff includes staff at an engineering team in Padasedna, California"

The article says "Reporting By Jane Lanhee Lee and David Shepardson; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama and David Gregorio". Two editors missed the typo.
I'm going to disagree with both approaches, and suggest (for lack of a better term) "middle-out".

Always define the API first. Figure out the information necessary, and make sure it meets both front-end constraints (e.g. no information is missing, does it need to be one call or multiple calls, etc.) and back-end constraints (can this be efficient to retrieve from the database, does one server have all the info, etc).

Once you've verified that the API design works for the needs of both ends, then you lock that down and let front-end and back-end teams work independently.

And even if you're coding on your own, it forces you to think about the information architecture first, which is a good habit to get into so you don't paint yourself into a corner in either direction.

Front-first risks building an interface which requires data is which is too complex to retrieve. Back-first risks building the wrong endpoints. API-first requires you to design for both before you start building.
It won't be as cutting edge by the time it's finished.
