If you imagine "IoT" as "a bunch of Linux boxes pushing around multi-MB JSON payloads over fast network pipes" then yeah, this would be a bad deal.

For datagram-based protocols like CoAP which are explicitly designed to let you control bandwidth usage down to the packet level this should be fine. 1kB of data (which is honestly large for a normal telemetry or sensor payload) is really cheap, even at $0.10 per MB.

Many of the devices and network architectures in this space are made to literally wake up a few times a day and push/pull data, not keep idle connections up and running. Your "runaway loop" would kill the device's battery and cause a bunch of other red flags in such a topology long before it racked up substantial bandwidth charges.
I guess I'm just on the side of: if the only thing we think police should be doing is something they already legally don't have to do, achieving the goal of getting that covered is better handled by tearing the entire system down and building a new system with a new name and new members than trying to force reform on orgs that have fought it tooth and nail. The actors that have gotten rulings like Warren v. District of Columbia obviously don't want reform in this area, and I don't see much success in forcing it on them. They have the time, resources, and inclination to fight it at every step, and piecemeal subvert the spirit of the reforms as they occur.
Thank you for sharing.

> You can implement JavaScript from the ES spec, but NOT regexp. The grammar doesn't really make sense [2]. The Chakra team found the same thing [3].

I haven't tried to implement the RegExp section, so I can't speak to that, but this is largely why we have Test262[1].

Also that Chakra blogpost is from 10 years ago, talking about ES5. Things have improved considerably since then, though of course we have to live with historical baggage.

> With Firefox using irregexp, it further cements this unfortunate reality.

Is this a specific unfortunate reality? I don't spot any RegExp entry in the last spec Incompatibilities section[2] that seems like a bad change or even having to do with regex grammar at all.

Ah, indeed misread that. Then my answer is: Singlethreaded code sometimes has to implement things an async environment would handle for you.

I.e. when handling many in- and outputs I can write my own loop around epoll etc, write logic to keep of track of queues of data to send per-target etc. Or I can use a runtime that provides that for me and lets me mostly pretend things are running on their own.
No, I did, although I should apologize for the slightly snarky response. I think your original comment was a valuable one, as it did bring up an interesting point that Android sees more CVEs than iOS does. However, I think the point is even more fundamental: counting the number of bugs on a list is not a great way of showing a platform is secure/insecure, although many people may believe so, just like they may look at this list and think "gee, iOS is so full of bugs it must be worse than Android!" Really, the point of this blog post was just a compilation of methods that achieve arbitrary code execution in the kernel based on how they did so and which iOS versions they apply to, instead of being some sort of comparison between operating systems.

How to get to product-market fit
Coming from a SaaS background on the product design and development side of things, I think churn is something many companies have given up on successfully remedying within the product, or have sourced to other departments in the company to help solve the issue. While user interaction with Customer Success or Support is definitely necessary in many circumstances, from my perspective, this could help battle churn for a myriad of reasons which can be addressed and designed for a specific product or with a specific user type in mind without being too abrasive or causing major headaches for the user. Cool idea. Good luck!
> In engineering subjects, in Europe, men are the overwhelming majority in university.

In the US as well. But that doesn't tell us much about why. It's clear that it's not a first-order result of the behavior of companies; it could be a higher-order effect - for instance, students often choose a major based in part on the expected career to follow. If women expect to have a harder time in an industry that will impact their decisions, no matter how much we encourage them to like it.

So it might be "down to companies"; what you are presenting as evidence to the contrary isn't persuasive.

> After graduation they may choose jobs differently than men.

And they choose those jobs based, in part, on how they expect to be treated. Making sure they can expect to be treated fairly, can expect to find a job, and can expect good working conditions, is something that's within the purview of companies employing people in these roles.

> Then women are more likely to stop working when they have children,

This matches my understanding, but I don't think it makes up the bulk of the drop-off, much less the entirety. This is one part of why I suggested comparing attrition to other industries.

> or to choose a job with a schedule mores suited to looking after a family.

Schedules are within the control of a company. There are many engineering roles perfectly compatible with a light or flexible schedule. Meanwhile, nursing - the example you picked up-thread as stereotypically female - isn't known for either of those.

I'm not saying that there's nothing to be done "upstream", in areas where individual companies have no influence. I am saying that present day companies do have things they can do to improve the situation; and that, insofar as we want to place blame, yesterday's and today's companies probably deserve some portion of it.
Use of force by police in those protests results in more protests.

So the simplest answer is actually: protesters benefit from police using force. (because they'll get more protesters, more media coverage etc.)

> Species counterpoint is entirely mathematical, as is (to a great extent) common-practice partwriting.

It really isn't. You can try to translate the guidelines of species counterpoint into "hard" constraints and generate pieces that precisely fit these constraints - but this does not result in good or interesting music. And this is even more true for actual composition, which is developed to a level that far exceeds the guidelines of species counterpoint itself. Thinking of music patterns as being entirely "mathematical" was historically common - there is a lot of old music theory that simply involves a mathematical/numerological exploration of musically-viable ratios between frequencies - but it's not really helpful if you're trying to figure out what makes music tick.

Explicitly difficult to serve both China and US interests without pissing off one side or the other (or both). Zoom clearly built a system based on an MVP idea, not imagining that security and being able to block internationally was important, yet it is. Having worked for a bit on a game that had to have Chinese government restrictions in it, I know how hard it is to make their government happy. Even worse is it can change at any time. Zoom should have had someone there who had worked in a similar type of Chinese environment; perhaps they did and no one listened.
First off, that's not similar to Godwin's law. Secondly, telling to shut up because they used the word "privilege" is not very conducive to conversation. If you really think the word poses problems, could you explain what those problems are? Your sarcastic string of identities is not helpful for understanding what your point is.

You're assuming there was ever a dichotomy to being with. Many have demonstrated that a company can have "American principles" and short-term global profits and censorship at the same time. Companies have been doing it since China "opened up" in the 70s and 80s.

I would also request that the Senator from Missouri give me a specific list of what constitutes "American principles". I'll bet his list is at least slightly different than my list. But there I go, assuming that a solution was being sought and not just posturing.

> the downside is that we’ve lost a great deal of local culinary tradition

I don't think we've lost anything; it's just that, in an era of cheap economies of scale from mass-production, artisanal anything (including artisanal cooking) is going to cost more—possibly enough to put most "authentic" / "traditional" cuisine out of reach of the working class, unless they're willing to make it themselves. (And who has the time for that?)

If you live in a city, look through restaurant reviews for a couple minutes and you'll probably be able to find a dozen local places in your own neighbourhood that have been open for 80 years or more, keeping up the tradition of serving the same food, the same way, that they always have. The only thing that such places have changed between then and now, are their prices.

Police are safer than cars, by an order of magnitude.

The only violence I’ve seen from police that doesn’t seem like an anomaly is violence that protestors incited by starting a conflict with the police.

So, empirically, it seems like the violence is occasional except when you go asking for it and the protestors just have a problem with authority and society at large.

It’s why their complaints are big on individual sob stories but lacking statistics to back them up.
Microsoft has been successfully charging subscriptions to millions of players every year without needing to run games in the cloud. Cloud gaming is a play at capturing revenue from people who aren't willing to shell out $300+ for hardware and $60 for every AAA title they want to play.
I assume you're not talking about this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/hardened_...? And to your other point: the difference between these things do matter because they have entirely different semantics and protect against different things, although the overarching goal of preventing undesired operation is the same. Taking the metaphor one level up to apply to computer science rather than security, this is like saying that the borrow checker and asserts are both the same from a certain point of view because they both help prevent bugs. Which is true, of course, but when you're talking about a programming language's safety features saying something like "C can prevent use-after-free because of its borrow checker" is not correct nor can you make it relevant by saying something like "yeah but C has asserts and they also help prevent bugs so from my point of view I think you're being pedantic".

I don't even know the rules of Go, but I am a long-time chess enthusiast, and I have a decent, but not top-level, understanding of chess (I am a FIDE master and I also play correspondence chess (which is human+engine) and have an interest in computer chess heavily).

I can absolute guarantee you that a human (who is an expert in computer chess, someone like Larry Kaufman) + engines will beat a single engine over the long run. With current tech and computing power, this is ONLY because we have brute force (with alpha-beta pruning) and ML engines that are at near-equal strength, and have strengths and weaknesses in different types of positions, and that those strengths and weaknesses are understandable.

If we did not have AlphaZero, I don't think the human would be able to add anything at all currently.

Facebook's goal is to make money. All the politics on the side are just virtue signaling for the purposes of recruiting, lobbying, and winning in the court of public opinion. When there's real money on the table, politics, privacy, etc. take a back seat for them.

What about wire services? AP and reuters reports are so brief and to the point they read like the wikipedia paragraph that will shortly plagiarize them.

Apart from that, you are perhaps asking for data devoid of biased analysis. You can keep up with current events like this on your own. There is plenty of public data on anything that you can analyze yourself and draw your own conclusions. Instead of reading business news, read SEC filings. Instead of reading about coronavirus, graph the raw data and make your own models. Skip the sensationalist science and health articles, and go right for the peer reviewed article. Open that layer on GIS yourself. Ignore medium blogs and read the actual documentation. Become your own data scientist.

This all takes a lot of mental effort and time, which few people have, so most people actually prefer to read summary articles from biased sources that reinforce their existing world view.
Although as one anecdotal counterpoint, read about some of the experiences Mike Jittlov had making Wizard of Speed and Time. He is playing it for effect in the film but it is at least semi-autobiographical.

https://www.nytimes.com/1990/01/31/movies/review-film-a-wiza...

One of the liveliest things about ''The Wizard of Speed and Time,'' aside from the frantic Mr. Jittlov himself, is the film's animosity toward Hollywood in general and the movie unions in particular. Mr. Jittlov, who himself resigned from the Directors' Guild in order to make this film free of union requirements, includes a sequence in which he visits one union office after another, being told in each that he must play by expensive and archaic rules if he expects to play this game at all.

When he tries to rent studio space, he is given a list of costs right down to the fee for a parking space, and winds up shooting in his own garage. And when he films an outdoor sequence in a park, a helicopter appears overhead with a loudspeaker to chastise him for trying to film without a permit. ''Maybe I shouldn't make films for a living,'' he muses dejectedly at one point. ''I've got a bicycle. I could deliver Steve's Pizzas.''
