I wonder if this rhymes with whatever happened to the library of Alexandria.
I did not make any accusation. I was clarifying the position of the people who's thought process you "couldn't imagine".

Now you can.
Agreed. I don't engage with it a lot but it's useful for it's original purpose of keeping track of former colleagues as well as profiling yourself to potential employers/customers.

The content is a bit of a influencer shit show these days. Too many bored executives trying to promote themselves. I mostly ignore that.

Recruiter spam is another nuisance and as recruiters are paying customers, technically us normal users end up being the the product. IMHO linkedin/ms could do more to balance that relation. A minor nuisance but sometimes there's some valuable conversations that convert to me finding gigs. So, room for improvement there but for now it's not optional for me to maintain my linkedin profile.
Well there are billions of Asian people, so if you do billions of projects, you'd definitely wind up with major skills, so it kinda checks out?
Wood dye and wood stain are different in the US, here is a good article on the differences:

https://www.woodcraft.com/blog_entries/stain-or-dye#:~:text=....

You can make your own wood conditioner by mixing 70% varnish with 30% mineral spirits or a 60/40 of Denatured alcohol and shellac.

You only need a conditioner if you are staining a soft, sap wood such as American yellow pine. We have a pine here called slash pine that is similar in properties to your pine, but it is virtually extinct. It does not need pre-stain conditioning because it is a harder pine, and it was mostly harvested from old growth forests.

Point being it is really not, the specific wood, it is the characteristics of the wood, mainly hardness, porousness, sapling harvest or heartwood harvest and oiliness.

If you have a soft, pours, sap wood harvested, with little oil content it is going to need conditioning. If you have something like Ipe, hard as a rock, oily and a tight grain, you will not need it and most likely need a dye to actually stain it.
Looking great !

How is it executing remote commands ?

Is it uploading a script like ansible, or just executing remote commands ? The latter seems to be the case glancing at the source code, nice one !
>"Indeed I think this is the next generation of self promotion and branding"

I'm unsure if this is meant to be sarcasm. Do you actually believe the next generation of self-promotion will be offline, in-person as kind of a reform movement or backlash? The optimistic side of frequently likes to entertain this idea but my cynical side thinks the dopamine addiction is only getting stronger. That cynical view is mostly informed by observations of the number of folks I see on sidewalks staring and scrolling at their phones as they walk.
I don't think everyone has accepted to the point of giving LI their email password. I certainly haven't. Personally I think LinkedIn has some utility for me that I haven't found elsewhere yet. I was very skeptical when I joined it, and didn't really update or use it for at least 10 years. But more recently I've realised it fills a useful niche that is not well provided for by other services to my knowledge.
Yeah, here in the US just about every brand at any big box store is from Whirlpool, Electrolux, or Haier.
The site is just being hugged a bit too hard.
What did you see that makes you conclude this cop was a racist?
Sketchup isn't too bad, ime. It's a lot easier than other cad programs. It's important to find a tutorial because it has some idiosyncrasies which you aren't going to happen upon solving. But overall the program is well documented and easy to use once you learn.

After about 3 projects on Sketchup, I'm now proficient enough to crank out simple furniture in a few minutes. That 15 minutes spent modeling things in sketchup pays dividends when it comes time for cutting and assembly.
The fact that the top engineers in the country want to work at Tesla should be a good sign. Any company that can hire top talent has a solid chance of outperforming its competition.
Ansible error messages have gotten better, but there are still plenty of times where it will take a configuration error such as a missing module argument and report on it as a syntax error.

And then when you get those errors you need to understand what the object is and now you're running the debug on a ton of variables, some of which you first need to set facts on, then others you don't know what are available.

IMO the biggest problem with Ansible is that it feels like it was designed with a really good idea in mind, and then extended and modified by a bunch of different teams who had their own ideas. Which is fine if you've been paying attention, but explaining it all to someone new can be overwhelming.

Wow lucky guy, its only a few days for you.
When I enter my email and click the Get Episodes button, there's no indication that anything happened but a POST request is made. There should be some confirmation that the submission worked.

I'm particularly excited for the "rapid response systems to production errors" and "integration testing systems" parts!
At our lab, we extensively work on problems that involve speech data. This includes tasks like speech recognition, speech scoring, emotion recognition, topic detection and speaker diarisation. Some of these tasks have public data available, while tasks like speech scoring and low-resource speech recognition, the data is fairly limited for supervised learning. Hence, we developed this annotation tool to generate corpus for our need.
It's been such a long time since I've heard someone trot out the "Tesla has the best raw data" canard that I thought it had finally died off for real.

For starters, Tesla still seems to have this annoying habit of not detecting large, white trucks that are stopped in the middle of the highway, and will happily drive into them at full speed. This isn't exactly an "edge case" issue here.
Is there any technical reason why telemetry would be required to make updates work?
probably not as 1) most academics are just as familiar with extra-legal ways to access papers and 2) there's likely a few specific papers you need to cite, maybe from your PI, or a partner lab, or other person pretty close to your network who is working on the same type of stuff and you're building on it
In my experience, the app didn't work very well. They never got the notification indicator right. At all. As in, it would never work for me.
I think you’re looking for a process or heuristic in how to “make the jump” to a large collection of files which typically represent a more _robust_ app.

What you’ll find is that it doesn’t typically exist.

Unless your app is following a particular category of app (is it a todo app, mostly crud, is it just a skin over a bunch of read only APIs, is it a game?) your app will grow organically and as the complexity grows you’ll naturally start breaking things up, realising certain parts can be generalised where it’ll be useful not to one, two or even three other bits of code but dozens (don’t be afraid of a little repetition, MUCH better to repeat 5 lines of code thrice than to create another function).

Also with more complexity and simple volume of code, testing becomes indispensable. At some point it becomes difficult to foresee how interdependencies in the code might be affected if you change something.

Running a suite of tests will save you lots of time. And you need test files for that.

If you’re looking for the way to get you more organised I’d recommend building a test for every function you write. It’s very interesting how that changed my code suddenly every bit of code I wrote felt independent but connected, it was also nice to feel like at any time I could feed a function some dummy/simulated data and it’d spit out the same output. There was no hidden state being mutated somewhere else. No global vars.

Is it really the elders land to sell? It should be their land to protect.
The more things I've seen like this, the more I realize the wisdom of Keyne's quote, "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent", or something to that effect. There have been a number of publicly traded companies I've seen with outrageous valuations, that've shocked me by how long they've maintained them. I've probably been right about the eventual outcome about 70% of the time, but I would have lost a ton of money trying to bet against them.
Publishing industry is ripe for disruption. Publicly funded research should be publicly available. Any 'fees' charged by publishers should be proportional to the value-add those publishers provide. They can't claim the 'review process' is part of that monetary value-add when reviewers are almost never paid.

There was a similar glitch in a contest Kraft held back in the late 1980s.

https://apnews.com/aa740ca43955c874dadb0394afc22940

TLDR almost every piece was a winner instead of just a few rare ones.

I managed to mail in a few pieces before the packages got recalled, I remember being in multiple class action suits and getting multiple waves of settlement checks and coupons for free food over the next few years. Obviously I was not going to get 4 vans, 12 bicycles, and 10 skateboards.

Contests now regularly use the "Kraft Clause" to avoid this problem.

Waymo also appears to have real-world driving data from their fleet of cars, and also appears to have an operational ridesharing pilot with no driver in the front-seat.

Another way of asking this question: how many "millions" of miles is sufficient, and at what point are there diminishing returns?
Probably not, I don’t know how many times I said the stop was bs and Likely for a reason Other than the slow driving.

That said you can be confident all you want in NC if you are driving slow on a highway it’s a traffic offense because driving slow impedes traffic and is dangerous (not my argument, but the rationale for the law)Z
On my Windows 10 Pro 20.04 edition, that group policy has no effect. The only way to get rid of it was to use the registry edit you've also referenced.
Tesla is an industrial conglomerate that will power the 21st century. At the moment they are a small, luxury car maker, but much like Apple was a small, luxury computer maker, Tesla's ambitions are great and their stock price is a function of how much the market believes that they will be able to achieve that.

The parts of this conglomerate are:

* The vehicle manufacturing. This one is obvious - they have a big lead on other automakers in producing EVs and this lead is not closing. They will keep expanding their portfolio of models and markets until they're near the top.

* The mobility service. This will grow out of their Autopilot efforts and take on Uber et all. This will be much wider though, as it will include public transit services with the Boring Co, private cars, and even taking on rail with fleets of Semis.

* The electricity utility business. This one is simple as well - there's a ton of cheap solar and wind power. Pairing it with batteries and Tesla's management software means they'll be providing the infrastructure utilities use. They likely won't become a utility themselves, as that requires local certifications etc.

* The homes business. Your home needs a battery, a roof that makes power and a geothermal HVAC system. Tesla wants to sell them to you all tied up with great software.

* Planes. Electric flight needs the best batteries and electric motors, Tesla would be pretty crazy not to pursue this. No, they're not going to take on Boeing or Airbus, but small, regional commuter planes (range of several hundred km) are within reach in 10 years.

Anyway, it's pretty simple. If you believe the above, go long. If you think it's BS, go short. If you think this is a bit too out-there/WTF, then just sit back and enjoy the show.
Ethereum Users Giving the DAO Another Try After Digital Stickup
It was fantastic! In every way superior to the modern plastic/aluminum variants.

American Sawmill Co was the original Unipoint designer. Their models in the 1950s were the holy grail... a single phase, 110v saw that two guys could carry around, but was made of all cast parts so still had the accuracy of the modern Northfield variants.

Northfield bought the company in the late 1950s iirc.

http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=700

Small single phase ones no longer exist, you can only get the big ones. They are still ubiquitous in roof framing shops. No one has come up with a better design than the unipoint in the last 7-8 decades.
Sure...what else ;)
The 'orders' are basically you can go to their webside and say 'I want 1000 trucks' no information, account or down-payment.

Usually public companies go threw funding rounds, this company knew they couldn't convince any real funds.

They claim to have battery technology that is way ahead of anybody else, and that just sounds like a nonsense claim. They basically do nothing inhouse, say about Tesla what you want but they have technical skills.

Seems to me Nikola is basically a scam designed to be as Tesla like as possible but with a little twist to make it seem just different enough.

Nordic provides some easy-to-use tools and examples for encrypting and signing firmware images when using a bootloader for in-field updates. I would expect that most products based on the nRF52 that support firmware updates encrypt the image.
I have seen a recent trend in my field of people citing recent papers for things that were literally known in the 1800s. However this is probably due to fraudulent citation rings and relationships, so I'm not sure if it contributes to my point.

This wasn't the smartest move on behalf of the Internet Archive. One could argue they were pushing boundaries to get courts to rule in their favor but in the process they are putting the whole project in jeopardy. Taking current copyrighted works and just giving them away en-mass is obviously not going to be seen favorably by many.
Huh? Tesla has to actually solve self-driving to justify their valuation. All the things you've listed might put them at an advantage solving that problem, but what their software does today doesn't justify the valuation. If it turns out that Tesla are probably 1 or 2 steps ahead of most fo the competition towards self-driving. It may turn out that we're a thousand steps away from self-driving, in which case their AI and software advantages simply aren't going to map to massive profits.
>> I am most certainly not worried about fraudulent blockchain companies becoming a major part of the economy.

I struggle to think of a single blockchain project which is not at least partly a scam. You can start at the top with Bitcoin.

Bitcoin handles 3 to 4 transactions per second max (this is tiny), consumes the electricity of Ireland but it's the most valuable blockchain. I get it, PoW is more decentralized. But is it worth the entire electricity of Ireland? No. Even Ethereum aren't deluding themselves about this; that's why they're moving to PoS. But even Ethereum is kind of scammy... How many times did they say that sharding would be ready soon? Seems like years ago now.

Lightning network is brittle and not practical. In real life, most financial transfers are unidirectional so you constantly have to re-open new channels after they become depleted. Also it locks up most of your funds. Also Lightning requires high availability - Without it, scammers can roll-back channels to an earlier state. Lightning is so complex that if something does go wrong, it will be extremely challenging to understand what went wrong.

And no, Bitcoin is not more valuable because it costs more money to run. If a car consumes more fuel than all other cars, that car is clearly less valuable than the others. If I can complete the same work twice as fast and same quality as someone else, then I should get paid twice as much. Economic value is rooted in efficiency, not in inefficiency. Technology which does basically the same thing but which does it more cheaply should be more valuable. Why are the top 2 projects both PoW?

I could go on about pretty much any cryptocurrency project from the top 100. Just because some project has been legitimized and is valuable, it doesn't mean that it's not a scam.
You're omitting that it's only a single digit % of the population that gets access to these expensive, specialized treatments.

I think that's way too distant a comparison.

Pepsi made a mistake that disappointed some folks, nobody lost anything because of what Pepsi did directly, Pepsi wasn't assisting anyone in committing a crime, they weren't out to commit a crime / help anyone commit crime like you describe.
Pepsi's typo didn't cause 32B of loss to them, but by some measure, there was a tiny, brief window where the country thought it was 32B richer. And this was before the extensive use of the internet, so it probably took weeks for people to discover that they shouldn't have bought that car/house/whatever.

So yes, Pepsi's typo didn't cost them 32B, but 32B of economic value was instantaneously created, and then, after some time, destroyed.

Was its total economic cost 32B? No, but was 32B a reasonable number to state? Sure. Pepsi's 20MM mistake over 32B caused riots seems a lot more wordy, no?

It doesn't exactly sound like goal #1 is improving reading rates. The article discusses "readers" as the main audience. Which I think is really important to understand. There are a lot of readers out there for whom the pandemic created unnecessary stress and inconvenience, students included.

Personally my three kids would have used this like crazy over the last couple months, when they were stuck with whatever they could check out before the local library closed. The drone delivery is a bonus but also it would have been the only way to get books. Aside from learning and enjoyment, the book-reading sessions are converted into AR test scores and classroom-by-classroom cumulative reading word counts, which are reasonably good motivators for many.
How you would envision a good screening process?
Zoom does have a SIP/H.323 bridge https://zoom.us/roomconnector . I believe it's the decision of the meeting host's organization whether to enable it, and there may be an extra cost associated with it.
It was never really anything more than a hobby and its now stored away as a sentimental value piece. When I was younger I regretted losing the serial cable for it and ruining a Dell tower that would have allowed me to sync it to a PC, this was back when I couldn't freely just buy stuff off eBay and space in the house was at a premium. I had a penchant for poking the original box with the stylus so that got tossed eventually.

A couple years ago I got an HP 2133 netbook and although the chipsets have a habit of frying themselves every once in a while (forcing the purchase of new motherboards) the form factor is close enough that it can take over the functions than the old WinCE handhelds and Psions had.

I like the 'robustness' of a lot of tech product designs from the early 2000s and prior. Plastic parts in particular seem to have become rather thin in the years since.
Yeah, I do that all the time. (I mean, I certainly do now, but even before the pandemic I would usually wait to get home before eating my drive-through meals.)

They have not made money as a a ride-sharing company as they have not tried this. The point is that when it comes online, they will have a huge fleet. That means extra profit with very little investing.
If it was only $20M, they probably just would have paid it, avoiding riots. What caused riots was their unwillingness/inability to pay the $32B they had inadvertantly promised.

I think the $32B is appropriate in the headline, it's the number that they accidentally promised, and could not deliver on, causing the riots.

But yes, the headline is written in a way to attract clicks, as all headlines are these days. I might have written it slightly differently. I don't think it's especially misleading.
> The narrative is mostly blank because the media probably couldn’t get the full narrative as it’s an ongoing investigation and thus not subject to open records.

It's not "the narrative", it's the incident report.

I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that you are correct that they aren't obligated to release the incident report. But they did release the incident report, presumably as a pretense of transparency and/or good will. The fact that it is basically blank shows that the pretense is just that, a pretense.

> In any case, you would expect most details to be contained in supplements or the case file, not the initial incident report narrative.

I would expect the incident report to report the incident. This isn't confusing.

Your argument here is basically, "Oh don't worry, that's just the report with the lies--the report with the truth exists somewhere, you'll get to see it eventually!" But that's no less damning: why is there a report with lies on it, and why is the report with the lies on it the only one the public gets to see?

If you're arguing that not reporting the incident in the incident report, or not having transparency, are police norms, I won't disagree with you there, but that's a huge problem.

The answer is yes, they would still need to be pushed hard. "Build it and they will come" works only in movies.
