My intuition would be that while people may be fooled initially, with that kind of thing it's easier to show that it's manipulated and then people take it less seriously.

If you show someone an image you claim to be true and it turns out to be faked via Photoshop, most people don't keep believing it's true.

I think the more insidious misinformation is harder to disprove as easily and as directly.
Ironically, that's what they put on the PCB. Those yellow things on both side of the chip package are actual micro transformers made of some material with very tricky magnetic properties.

I wonder, was the name Ampere a reference to its titanic current consumption?

I think that's just bad programming practices.

I'm going to take an unpopular/wrong sounding opinion and say it's possible. If you leave the bubble filled with world-class programmers, techies and entrepreneurs, it's possible your code quality will be 'reduced' because you don't see the value in it as much compared to taking care of your kids, building up your local community, etc. Peer pressure is important and if your peers are teachers, cops, store managers, etc would you care more about learning the ins and outs of the newest JS framework or about what dishes to make at the BBQ you're throwing this weekend?

Start with traditional 60/40 tin/lead flux-core solder because it's much easier to work with. Once you have a feel for how soldering is supposed to work, you can then start experimenting with the often finicky and hard-to-use lead-free solders and fluxes.

So basically, they expect their spouses to deal with the problem by themselves? At home they pretend there is no choice, while at work lobby to keep excuse to not have to contribute?

Do I sound salty about phenomenon I noticed among some of my male colleges too (using work as excuse when they definitely had choice, but actually wanted to avoid boring or uncomfortable home-work)?
Personally I think it's the hackability. Data is disconnected from apps (in your personal drives) and shared between applications. Hyperdrives are also forkable.

Beaker currently pushes people to create personal sites and build social applications around that. I think a very open social/identity system is just very cool.

There are also some things that are much easier than they normally are - for instance, you can setup a webrtc call using PeerSockets, so you don't need to setup a server to do that. The "zero devops" story is pretty nice.

That's not quite right - they did say in the original offering that they would be spending investors' money on Telegram Messenger's daily operations. The judge's words are:

Well, the headline itself is trying to imply that China is trying to buy BR, which is totally unsupported by the article. The article's central thesis, however, seems to be this:

> And while marketing Chinese investments that lack the basic auditing safeguards of U.S. companies, BlackRock is threatening to vote against boards that do not apply burdensome environmental reporting standards that have no statutory or regulatory standing — this, amid the deepest economic crisis since the Great Depression. BlackRock’s hypocrisy speaks for itself: punishing American companies that decline to apply entirely voluntary standards while being mute about Chinese companies’ lack of audit oversight and enforcement. There could hardly be a more blatant case of double standards.

BR doesn't have any direct power over China's accounting rules, and I'm sure they'd love it if China's businesses had orthodox accounting standards.
A lot of this depends on the definition of "law." It also implicitly depends on what we consider scientific. That is, history may or may not ever be a mathematical science, but it could be a science or field that just does other things than other sciences.

The problem of coming up with laws of history is that we have to decide what kind of science takes history as its object in the first place; what kind of laws would be commensurate with that framing?

Is "history repeats itself" the kind of thing that we would call a law if proven adequate to the science? What about "might makes right"? Is "genealogy" an adequate scientific field or methodology, in its own way, on its own terms? What about dialectical materialism?

I don't think polling existing history departments or historians will necessarily get you there either.
Hence the factory in China... which is fully owned by Tesla.
Waymo and Tesla have been designing a lot of their own hardware and I believe Cruise has been doing the same. Nvidia and Intel have been successful with getting start-ups into their ecosystem and attracted OEMS who want hardware for ADAS, but for FSD, you have to get the costs remarkably down, and that will need custom hardware without a middle man to pay. I doubt cruise is using anyones kit.

I guess I just feel there is a real lack of creativity in gaming these days- There used to be a rich variety of games- puzzle/adventure games, RTSes, Simulation games, Flight/Space games of all kinds, and now its just kind of condensed down to FPSes, repeated sports franchises, and a few outliers- KSP, Minecraft, to name a few.

Interestingly, I won an Occulus Go at a meetup about 9 months ago. I almost gave it away, I didn't really know what I had won, I thought it was going to be an upgraded google cardboard.

But man I was surprised at how cool it was. And yeah- everything feels really raw and unpolished and experimental, kind of like the early days of the internet. My biggest gripe is that the games are all kind of vapid and on rails, there are no games where you can kind of go and explore, but still its all quite interesting and has me interested in buying a "proper" VR setup.
I think the biggest thing to remember is that changing your build tool for a large project is going to be a massive effort, you're gonna need a LOT of hours to throw at it, and you might not find many benefits for a long time.

Starting a new project with it, so it can help you do things the "right way" is a much more attractive proposition.

That said, the IDE/tooling situation for Bazel was disappointing to me in the Java world too. It definitely lags and is incomplete.
Another option could be that living in a big city becomes less necessary.

People flocked to these cities in the first place because they were seen as sources of social opportunities (jobs, venture capital, social networks). I would like to see the Internet disaggregate those opportunities.
And consider also, "The 15-Stock Diversification Myth," http://www.efficientfrontier.com/ef/900/15st.htm :

> One of the most dangerous investment chestnuts is the idea that you can successfully diversify your portfolio with a relatively small number of stocks, the magic number usually being about 15.

> …

> The reason is simple: a grossly disproportionate fraction of the total return came from a very few "superstocks" like Dell Computer, which increased in value over 550 times. If you didn’t have one of the half-dozen or so of these in your portfolio, then you badly lagged the market.

GM is not hiring. The auto industry is being hit hard right now. And Cruise is notorious for being a toxic mess as is.
> Having a defined place to keep your data, and your view automatically refresh when it changes is the gold standard in user interface design.

First, in most frameworks there is only one place to keep your data. This can be your App object or session state.

Having view automatically refresh is overrated. Given the amount of work you have to do (actions, reducers, dispatch and whatnot) it is easier to just update the view yourself.
Checking in dependencies to version control is the sane option. Then you can more easily see what's updated and track regressions.
Some people like to refactor their code any time there is a syntax sugar added to the language - often adding a few bugs while doing it, which is a PITA, but version control is still better then no version control.

You will ask, what about adding the OS to your SCM too, yeh why not have the full software stack. But you can generally draw a line between strong abstraction layers: Hardware | Kernel | OS | runtime | your app. Some modules do have strong abstraction layers, but others are just pure functions which you could just as well copy into your own repo.
Or you could see it as, they know who are the low performers. This is a good way to fire low performers in bulk without getting a lot of flak

When a pandemic makes you create a new HR software
Few companies had anticipated a pandemic. Including us.

But here we are. Two choices were left: wait for it to pass and fix it after the storm or take the lead.

Alternateeve chose to roll up their sleeves and innovate.
What better time to try to do the projects we never had time to realize than now?

When we told employees that some would face cuts and unfortunately some were going to be laid off, we never anticipated the wave of solidarity and commitment of our employees. What a nice surprise!

They are the ones who motivated us to look for a way to secure the future of the company.

In the last few years, we have developed numerous complex platforms for our clients. Our portfolio speaks for itself. As we always say, what motivates us is to work on complex problems and look for innovative solutions. For a long time now, we wanted to start an in-house project that we could share with the entrepreneurial community. More precisely, to create an open-source program. Now that we have some free time due to the crisis, we decided to use this freedom (a little imposed) wisely!

Ok, let's get started! We create a customized program!

But the question that is left to be answered is... about what?

We don't want to create a program just to pass the time. We want real utility: what could be useful to companies like us? To find the answer, we needed to do a little navel-gazing.

What do we miss and would love to have?

Tada!

A simple but effective human resources management software! Having a ton of Excel spreadsheets or several software to cover the complete management of our human resources tends to put us off, in addition to waste our precious time!

While at it, we also decided to document here the complete construct...

Keep it above 40% and below 80% and you should be good. The damage is mostly done during charging so setting your max level to 80% and leaving it plugged in is about the best way to go.

The main thing to look at is the floor. Keep the battery from going too far below 40%. (I believe past 20% is where damage really starts to happen).

Other tips to keep the battery happy are things like driving slower, using chill mode, etc. Fast discharges damage the battery so eco driving is usually good for the battery.

AFAIK, LiPoly batteries don't really suffer from any sort of memory effect. So there is no harm in not fully discharging. The one catch is that your BMS can get out of whack if it doesn't see 10% and 90% for a while. So occasional charges up to 90% or 100% are not a bad thing to recalibrate the BMS.
Amazon launched Fire Phone and Alexa months apart. They shit-canned the phone and doubled down on Alexa. It’s not just PR speak.

Anyone else see Svelte stores when they look at this?
I have noticed over the last 15 years or so, a lot of the anchor stores in suburban malls (Macy's, Dillard's, JCP, the now defunct Montgomery Ward's) attempting to become furniture stores on their upper levels, but their execution was awful. The furniture is typically stodgy looking, almost like what a grand parent would have in their home, but worse quality. Its like the furniture is an afterthought to the store, and I rarely see anyone actually purchasing anything.

Then when you go over to the UK, an visit a department store like a House of Fraser or John Lewis, their furniture has a much more contemporary look, and there are always people buying, talking to clerks about pieces, etc.
My take is that the proliferation of conspiracy theories in the U.S. is both a natural consequence of the Information Age ("They stuff you with so much useless information, you feel full" - Ray Bradbury) and the polarization of the U.S. society. Consensus reality broke with Bush v. Gore.

Growing up on the internet with the backdrop of the War on Terror/in Iraq, I saw how online discourse was basically heated partisans, each armed with their reams of links, sources, and talking head proxies, spamming each other with evidence that the other side would refuse to acknowledge. Each appealing to their own authority in their own respective reality- never the twain shall meet.

I don't know if there can be a bridging this gap until this society can create authorities that will be recognized by both sides. Institutions that a majority of people will defer to. The media is being attacked by all sides. Public religion has been on the wane, and the U.S. has a multitude of sects anyway. Appeals to "science"? Good luck with that, science has been politicized with decades, and issues like the reproducibility crisis doesn't help. In the meantime, everyone just continues to be trapped in their own filter bubbles, nudged along by oh-so-helpful recommendation algorithms, bunkering down into their online communities of the like-minded, and modern myths and urban legends will continue to spread alongside alienation and mistrust.
If you are up-front with this, it's just a salary offer that people will take or not depending on how good it is. No problem.

Companies can do this because so few of them hire remote. If it gets normalized, the practice will not be sustainable.
Usually we think of history as what happened, but it's really more historiography, the story we tell about what happened. In college we would read 4 different academic sources about an event, and try to determine why they were so different. We'd start with the author's bio, see what university they teach out and try to determine their influences and models of interpretation.

> I also take it you concede that pursuing fairness leads to reduced efficiency?

Efficiency of what? Yes, it reduces the efficiency by which overall wealth is created (whatever that means). And yes, it enhances the effiency by which a society provides for the needs of all.
My go-to example for 'private cloud' (which as soon as we hit the Trough of Disillusionment on this Hype Train, we will all be talking about) is having a set of people in your social or family group maintaining a file share for your semi-private photos and videos.

You don't have to worry about a flood or tornado taking out all the photos of first birthdays, or Grandma when she was younger than you are now, and you also don't broadcast family dynamics, whereabouts (people have been robbed when social media made it clear they were not at home) or pictures of minors.

You, your uncle who Moved to the City and your cousin by marriage who wants to be a game designer all set up a file server and share the photos (your cousin is gonna throttle traffic while he's playing CoD or Dota of course, which it turns out he does all the time but at least he's an extra backup copy).

I don't know how you keep that one relative from uploading funny things they found on the internet that keep trying to install spyware or back doors though, but I suppose you'd have that problem now.
