I don't use a voice assistant so perhaps the jargon is not clear to me. For what it is worth, your title here is much clearer for me at least:

If you asked me which is clearer:

"CLINQ provides you with AI-enhanced telephony that automatically completes important tasks during calls, minimizing your wrap-up time."

or

"CLINQ is building a new type of voice assistant."

I would certainly say the second is clearer.

It is also not clear if you are selling a product that someone would install to enhance their existing phone system or if you have some sort of cloud service.

Do I get to keep my existing phone numbers or not? Does this work for land lines and cell phones or only for zoom calls and hangouts or vice versa?

I guess it the end I think you might have something compelling but I really have no idea what it actually is other than an enhanced telephony experience.
I'd argue that cameras don't really ever go obsolete, given the artistic nature of photography (as long as you can get the image out of the camera and onto a medium). Any great photo that you've ever admired was take on either previous or current generation gear.

If they see it as a metaphor instead of whar it is that still makes it fundamentally ignorance.

Remember "a series of tubes" memes long predating youtube or its many pornographic not-quite-competitors?

It may map to better understanding but it is still ignorant as somebody software proposing applying computer antivirus software style scanning to infectious disease gene scanning of all micro-organisms in the body.

Even if the metaphor is technically correct in some aspects (the microbes being unauthorized executables in a space) the differences are substantial enough that it cannot be called anything but ignorant by those in the know who would point out precisely the current limitations and theoretical impossibilities like "we can't read cell DNA without destroying them currently". In the case of the safe analogy it is essentially impossible for someone to wind up ordered to open a random piece of garbage that is indistinguishable from a safe. Unlike with encryption.
Thats rediculous, and theres plenty of other equally undermining things technology does these days. When did technologists get so arrogant to think they should implement these things? I dont want my computer to think or make decisions for me, just get better at doing what I say.
I'm a bit confused... I just typed "sketch" in Safari on my phone.

The first suggested result was indeed skechers.com.

But then I hit enter (so the total keystrokes were "s k e t c h return") and it did a search in my default search engine for "sketch". Which is what I expected.

so what am I doing that you're not?
It varies. We have a primary PostgreSQL database for non-sensitive data including some workflow configuration. We store sensitive data in Vault and logs in Google Cloud Storage. A bit more info here: https://relay.sh/docs/how-it-works/#where-and-how-is-my-data...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread-local_storage mentions the two most common uses: errno (historically a global variable, but on modern Unixes thread-local) and having separate threads accumulate a value, to only merge them at the end, thus decreasing contention for the merged value.

> I would say that death+reproduction is a better solution to preserving genes than immortality.

It's just the solution nature came up with. It's also optimal at a population level and far less so at the organism level.

Again: it is strictly preferable (by a very wide philosophical margin) to exist than to not exist. Of course, anyone who believes otherwise would be welcome to not participate in the concept of biological immortality.
> The biggest benefit of TDD is that it removes the fear of breaking your code.

This isn't true at all. TDD forces you to write unit testable code, which will have lower cyclomatic complexity, looser coupling, and generally be easier to maintain.

Writing tests second always leads to a suite that is more expensive to maintain than provided value.

And unit tests suck for catching bugs anyway, it's really about writing better code up front, which will have lower bugs and higher confidence by definition
But I want search engine suggestions…as long as they are just suggestions. They shouldn't forcefully redirect me to somewhere I don't want to go. (I should also note that the thing I actually wanted to do is search, not go to something from my history!)
Passports themselves aren't a problem. The problem is the bureaucracy around it.

Nobody can explain why it takes 3 months to do renewals. Why do they need the same documents from 10 years ago again? Don't you already have it saved somewhere that I am a citizen? Why do they need another ID from me again?

This is even worse for visas. Why do they need the same documents again and again and again?

Yeah, teams should have a review system for documentation, like they certainly have one for code review.

In practice, with many non-native English speakers in the team (100% in my case), this is something of an issue. But we do what we can :)

What tends to help me with long-standing documents in particular is to reread them after some time passes. A couple months down the line, I have lost much of the context, which makes it easier to spot problematic bits. I am also not invested in the text as much, which makes it easier to rip out the parts that have not aged well.

They could (and can) do that regardless of DNS. Most websites and other services are uniquely identifiable by their IP(-range).

You seem to be confusing the idea that something "is a Fascist policy" with the idea that something "is ONLY a Fascist policy."

Lots of similar policies are promoted by seemingly different forms of government. Even the most cursory inspection of our world today (or history) is sufficient to demonstrate this point.

Forcing individuals to wear masks is absolutely something Fascists would do, and they would do so for 100% ideological reasons, so the statement "forcing people to wear masks is a Fascist policy" is 100% accurate. It's also a current US policy, a current communist policy, etc. etc. so it's clearly not limited just to Fascists.
Having multiple great other projects with little recognition (or much less public awareness) than Wikipedia must be challenging, and for all of us, readers, unfortunate. Projects like Wikidata (basis for all knowledge graphs powering search engines), Wikinews (what could potentially be fact checked news in an age of misinformation), etc could all benefit from some raised awareness for all Wikimedia projects. Even raising money from donations, is usually targeted at Wikipedia. I do not how the governance structure of Wikimedia influences the distribution of donations, or whether renaming is meant to influence this. Overall, I see a sincere struggle to get traction around more Wikimedia projects - and I find that commendable.
Will hackintosh be a thing once the ARM transition is complete? Surely Apple will bake in some security into their silicon that will prevent OS11 from running on anything but Genuine™ Apple Bionic.
This debate comes up a lot, and it's hilarious how misguided it was.

I regularly work with load-balancers such as Citrix ADC (NetScaler) or F5 BIG IP. These do DNS-based load-balancing, dynamically returning "A" records to that the browsers so that they can get the "single working IP address" they're expecting. The browsers don't try very hard to fail over to secondary IPs because this is the established standard architecture, but they don't need to because of this common setup.

Sounds like an optimal solution, right? It does at first glance anyway, as long as you ignore the eye-watering price tag on those load balancer boxes.

The subtle but critical issue is that by returning "A" records, the load balancers have to use a short time to live (TTL)! This is because there's a trade-off: You can have fast failover, OR long-lived DNS caching. With A records you can't have both!

Typical response TTL times are 5-30 seconds, 5 minutes tops if you hate your users. This means that many browsers will be forced to repeatedly re-query the DNS servers on every page load for typical end-user workflows. It also means that for all but the biggest, most popular sites, the ISP DNS cache does practically nothing for these records.

Meanwhile with SRV records the TTL times can be much higher, hours even. This is how Active Directory works, for example, all of the Domain Controllers add themselves to various SRV records so that if you query "_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.test.com" you get back all the DCs. These records include priorities and weightings, so you can pull tricks like incrementally demote a DC or prioritise the shiny new one.

If you watch the AD connection traffic in WireShark, it's incredible. It very quickly steps through alternate services and then reorders the successful hits in front of the failures so that subsequent queries are lightning fast. It is astonishingly tolerant of partial networking failures, yet still fast to connect despite that!

The key mistake made by the original DNS design working groups was that SRV records should have returned a list of IP addresses instead of a list of host names.
Thank you! I'll take a look through this! Would it be okay if I sent you an email in the next week or two for follow-up questions?

Does anybody believe Apple is making money off this? Redirecting websites to competitors.
The claim that "we already paid for nationwide broadband installations several times now" is not true. The bill you linked to, for example, just says that the Secretary of Transportation "shall require States to evaluate the need for broadband conduit in accordance with this section as part of any covered highway construction project." It doesn't even appropriate any money.

The ARRA appropriate a small amount of money for rural broadband, about $2.5 billion, much of which was never even spent: https://www.benton.org/blog/questioning-federal-broadband-sp.... That was 10 years ago. Then the Connect America Fund spent less than $10 billion over the last decade. These are the only major federal programs I'm aware of that spent any significant amount of money on broadband. Over that same decade, private companies invested over $70 billion per year: https://morningconsult.com/opinions/reversal-of-fortune-broa.... I don't have a recent breakdown, but in the 2007-2008 timeframe, it was $40 billion+ per year for wireline, and $20 billion+ for wireless: http://cpham.perso.univ-pau.fr/ENSEIGNEMENT/PAU-UPPA/RHD/PAP.... It might well be the reverse today, with most of the investment in wireless, but you're still talking $20-30 billion+ per year in wireline.

So over the past decade, it's maybe $10-15 billion in government funding, targeted at a few rural areas, compared with hundreds of billions of dollars of private investment. Whether or not the government money has been properly used is a fair discussion, but a separate one. It's just a tiny fraction of what you need to build and maintain a nationwide broadband network, which is what OP was talking about.
Well, it's more efficient (I forget by which factor). So, if the factor were 2, you would need 1 acre of solar panel for every 2 acre-equivalents of planting space. Since you're okay with going vertical, the acre-equivalent could be much less than an acre. So yeah... electricity being much easier to transport than produce, it would actually make more sense to cover a large part of unpopulated area with solar panels, and then farm in very very small portions of the earth.

From an environmental perspective, this is certainly a 'win'. Reducing the amount of land needed for agriculture is a win to both consumers and the environmentalists and the farmers.
What's the pricing model? I don't see it on the website
I think they have both. They offer POWER and LinuxONE as options and those aren't available in your average cloud provider. They probably have a sweet deal with IBM Cloud.

Maybe the POWER, but the Z most likely not.
Want another fun Safari auto complete bug?

Have a tab open that is changing its title on an interval.

Try to type something in any tabs address bar and use the arrow or a mouse to try and pick a result, the focus will constant jump and reset to the beginning every time the title changes on any tab, making it nearly impossible to pick a result if its changing fast enough.

The auto complete list seems to be populated with web page titles in real time and the list is being modified causing the results to be rerendered.

I found this after trying to use a Super Micro IPMI that updates the title with the current FPS on every frame, had it in a background tab and couldn't get to a search result, oh the frustration and time that cost me to actually track down.

Reported it to Apple of course nothing.
The problem of turning money to and from monero still seems to exist though. That point where I want to take some of that monero and turn it into cash to buy tangible illegal things nearby and that other point where I want to take some illegal cash and turn it into moneros. At that point, that money needs to pass through a system that records its existence.

With cash, that money can change hands hundreds of times without it ever being tracked by anyone.

The only way a digital currency can ever be safely used for illegal activities if if it can be used and acquired as freely, easily and as anonymously as cash.

From what i've seen there's no digital equivalent to 'handing someone a suitcase full of cash in a dark alley' or receiving your 'cheque' at the end of the day as a wad of cash in an envelope.

With that cash, I can immediately turn around and spend it on some illegal shit and no record any where will ever exist of me being paid or having purchased illegal things. I can then go and spend that money just as easily in a store, where again, no records of where that money came from exists. It'll just appear(or reappear most likely) in circulation magically when the store records it as profit.

Creating a digital currency like this that actually functions as a currency seems unfeasible. Cash only works as it does because everybody just kind of agrees it does or because the government says it does I suppose.

As an addendum and disclaimer, I wrote a lot of this from a first person point of view, that was for dramatic descriptive purposes only and not from any actual personal perspective or activities.
Lol. Why a banana? That’s funny - of course not to the super.

Sounds like the "dumbasses" are right here given that not voting doesn't give them any sovereignty and the ones making far reaching decisions actually have to worry about them voting for the other guy. Compared to the "smart people" who give up a small but very real role as a kingmaker for nothing.
I am already stacking the shots, as are the photographers I'm comparing to. It is also objectively true that noise is lower on FF cameras, specifically at higher ISO. You can see many comparisons of this online. The A7sii has larger pixels that gather more light compared to either the A7rii or an APS-C sensor.
It's an international standard with 196 countries. It's difficult to get 196 countries to agree on anything. There's now a chip in almost every passport, but the paper version provides great backwards compatibility for places where there is no Internet or the Internet is unreliable and they still need to control the border.

For other places, countries make bilateral agreements that eliminate the requirement for the book, such as the passport card and nexus.

Biometric only has a lot of annoying edge cases. What happens if you're severely burned and then need to cross a border? Biometrics aren't going to be able to identify you, but if you're in possession of a passport that hasn't been reported stolen, and eye color, height and weight all match, they'll let you through. Similarly, a passport issued to a newborn is not going to get a biometric match on a four year old kid, but if they possess the passport, eye color, and approximate age match, and they're traveling with their parents, they'll be let through. The possession of the document lends significant evidence that the traveller is who he/she says they are.

This is absolutely not the case:

If one is managing more than a few machines, one should absolutely use something like Puppet/Ansible/Salt/Chef with a repo to ensure that nothing is ever lost.

No. And Mozilla can't verify it either.

The answer is super simple. Because I'm not you. Which means I'm not sensitized to the same things that you are sensitized to.

For example, I can't stand working in a room that is not brightly lit, which isn't a problem at all for most other people.
Maybe you have an involved set up and already do these things, but surely you could just write a bash script that installs all the software you need and store it with your dotfiles.

After a new Ubuntu install you can just pull down your dotfiles and run your install script. Aside from some things like ssh keys, gnome tweaks, etc. - this approach would likely get you 90% of the way to set up and would take ~15 mins.

Arriving at this set up would take a little bit of time, and require periodic maintenance, but given a weekend you could have it set up and tested.

I see things like this all the time on Facebook. It’s quite annoying.

One that was circulating was for boycotting anything Peter Thiel had significant involvement in because he is a major donor to Trump. Not much of a surprise but Theil is either a board member or has invested in many companies... So, the list was large and purely virtue signaling. It had other major donors on it too.

I don’t know if this cancel culture really works for large companies. Most companies have taken money or have board members or high level employees that are on opposing sides of the political spectrum. (With some of both sides who have donated heavily to political campaigns...)
Someone should port RISC iX to the Raspberry Pi.
Mozilla cannot enable one provider by default. People already complained that Cloudflare was initially the only choice.

Users at the moment are expected to choose their provider anyway.

This deal is about Mozilla picking Comcast by default for Comcast customers. This is essentially as if they'd be using the network's default, because Comcast is the network's default already, being what people get via DHCP.

They can always choose a different provider. And Mozilla apparently struck a privacy deal with them too.
