I kind of agree. I’ve experimented with every gray screen/app organizing/focus blocker technique on the hype train, and in the end it’s mostly window dressing: the hard part is breaking bad habits.
As a 46 year old I second this! Trying to run your personal life with OKRs sounds like a great way to beat yourself up. Also your spouse won’t be impressed when you tell her “My goal was to spend 46 minutes really listening to you this week and I actually achieved 52 minutes!”
The article suggests it could be a spinning neutron star, which is what a pulsar is. But a pulsar produces an extremely regular sequence of pulses. (Well, actually it emits a continuous beam of radio waves, but its rotation causes the beam to point towards any given observer at regular intervals.)

This article describes a source that seems to start and stop at regular intervals of several days (much longer than any known pulsar's rotational period) but within the active intervals, the bursts appear to be random. That suggests a more complex mechanism is at work.
> Why was Twitter included?

Twitter is a Hell where, instead of pushing a rock uphill forever, its denizen are stuck in eternal rush hour traffic such that everyone can read bite-sized chunks of everyone else's angry, rage-induced thoughts and some of these people actively ram into other cars just to make it more miserable/gain status.
That's not the study that I was referring to, but I cannot find the original one, either. If my memory serves me correctly, they compared PS2 with USB and they showed white squares on a CRT screen, so I believe it was from way before 2014.
> Would those AMD 8 core chips consume a similar amount of power to the i7-1065G7? (quad core 10nm)

A very quick summary: about the same.

Intel seems to still have the lead on quickly going to lower energy states, but AMD still has the upper hand on better node: TSMCs 7nm is better than Intels 10nm+, but 11th gen 10++ seems to have finally matured enough to be on par, so Tiger Lake will be interesting to see.

If your parameter is "I want a notebook today", then Renoir Ryzens are the best to go[0]. If you can wait until the late part of the year, maybe Tiger Lake will shake things up (again) in the mobile arena, or maybe they're spilling rumors to keep people away from AMD as much as they can.

[0] HOWEVER it seems there's no well-rounded notebook with Zen2 yet. I was almost decided for an Asus Zephyrus G14, but decided to wait a bit and see if something a bit larger (with larger battery too) becomes available in my country.
at the risk of sounding like an idiot: are Chinese /HK workers more attentive to their job? We've seen the McDonalds and other fast food workers here...not that they get paid to work faster, let's be honest.

Burgers and sandwiches should always be hot and ready to pack especially during peak times. Fries too. Others would replenish them as needed. Soda is what it is, so it should a matter of seconds if everyone worked like their livelihood depended on it. But they system is what it is: teenagers making believe they are working and employers making believe they are paying them. In the end, waiting just a few minutes is fast enough for the customer anyway, so no incentive to change the system.
Regarding logout, I think that's a fundamental issue with a stateless solution like JWTs. I mean, the whole point is that it is a self encapsulated token, so you don't have to go back to a central server to check if someone's login session is still valid. So how on earth do you invalidate it?

My boss wrote up this article on different ways to revoke JWTs: https://fusionauth.io/learn/expert-advice/tokens/revoking-jw... which examines a few interesting methods.

[From someone that can barely distinguish the top and the bottom of a boat ...]

Nice captcha. I guess it's easy for the people that are the target of the site, but uncommon enough to be difficult for robots. (Adding some decorations may make it more difficult for robots, if they become a problem.)

Are robots really a problem or the problem are just morons that create too many boats?

How many boats do you have currently? If I don't log in for a month, is my boat sink/rescued?

When I read race, I expect at least two boats. Is there a record board when I finish the race. [I have to go from Sydney to a random point in the middle of the sea in the East, but there is too much wind and my boat is going north ... I don't expect to finish soon.] Do you organize some kind of events where people can race against other people?

It would be nice to see the target area in the map [I had to open Google Maps.] and the trajectory. (And perhaps a log of the commands.)

How do you calculate the direction. From another post, I remember it is a mix of the direction of the wind and the direction of the boat (and the direction of the sail?). Is this a standard boat model? Is it a good idea to add more models of boats?

The problem is to insert something into the genetic code that survives evolutionary pressures over hundreds of millions of years. There would of course be great irony in this point; a civilization knows how to modify an animal in a way that is more adaptable for millions of years, yet it that civilization itself went extinct.
Not parent, but I would have done the same. I transitioned to MacOS from Windows 7 in 2011. When I opened my 2019 XPS with Windows, I got immediate anxiety due to how much Windows has devolved in the last 8 years.

On a brand new system, opening new windows lagged. Multiple popups constantly required my attention and kept getting in my way. I couldn't imagine using the Home version, where you have to deal with Ads on the Start menu on top of all that.

Today I live happily with Kubuntu.

Sure, but then for example someone also had to create TikTok, and the OS it runs on, and all the other apps the user has on their phone.

I think what some of us find so regrettable is the continual dumbing down of personal computing. It's already probably 90% content consumption; 9% creation of very simple content like taking photos or writing short, plain text messages; and maybe 1% taking advantage of the flexibility to do new and interesting things.

Meanwhile, I come across many things in life where someone with basic computing skills could help themselves by automating a task or getting the computer to work something out. That doesn't necessarily have to mean writing large programs; it could just be, say, setting up a spreadsheet to do a few household calculations every month.

I see so many people wasting time and losing money and missing opportunities for lack of these skills, and to me it feels the same as watching someone who lacks basic numeracy or literacy. Worse, most of the consumer electronics we use are becoming ever more trapped inside walled gardens, the devices we could use to do useful automation and make life easier are turning ever more into these dumbed down consumption portals, and the knowledge and skills to understand the difference between what is happening and what is possible are being overlooked so most people don't even realise what they're missing and how much they're being taken for a ride, usually in the pursuit of the mighty dollar.

It's sad.

Canada struggles with regulation. Not too much or too little, but rather poorly executed and manipulated for political reasons.

Builders get big providers to pay for communications wiring, in some cases including that of their competitors, for the privilege of exclusive advertising rights. Those same big providers need to provide (some level of) service to all the people in their geography.

Between influences like these and regulation, the big providers have to shoulder significant costs which they pass on to their consumers. The upstarts don't have these costs and can offer much better pricing.

The regulators and politicians can then step in and gain voter favor by going after these big, "bad" providers by enabling new entrants into the market with must better cost structures (e.g. regional service only) or even just outright subsidizing them, ultimately seeming to go after a problem that they actually created.

Whether this public/private capitalist mess is more cost effective than a public entity is unclear, but it does succeed in shifting accountability away from the government.

In the end the citizens pay for it all, just inequitably. Perhaps it is a capitalist victory that a price sensitive consumer can invest the time to find a better deal and opt out of subsidizing rural communities.
W.r.t India, it has mostly accepted the patent obligations of US Pharma as it gets to export generic medications to US and I think 50% of Indian generic medications get through FDA approval.

But this was pre-COVID, not sure how new found gold rush in Pharma industry worldwide would affect the future of Generic medications and patentability of pharma products. It could go either way of improving manufacturing and availability of generic medications (or) Pharma behemoths could take advantage of current situation and derail generic medicine development indefinitely.

Two points that I would change when doing OKRs:

KRs should not be binary. They should be stretch goals. If you're hitting 100% on your key results you need to be setting your sights higher.

KRs should be things you can "influence" and not things you "do". It's the difference between "Get 100 subscribers to my newsletter" and "Write 100 blog posts". Or to use the example in the post, the difference between "Earn a X% return on my investments" vs "Read 3 books on investing". When you create key results around things you do, you run the risk of spending your time focusing on things that do not move the needle on your objectives. Last thing you want is to reach the end of the quarter and find your efforts have not had a tangible benefit. This is the classic "Outcomes" vs "Output".
Good point actually. That could be a nice value add

What Is a Proof (2012)
This is a photo I took at one of Vietnam's jam packed airports a few days ago:

https://imgur.com/a/9dn5AJh

Not many people will believe that a poor country like Vietnam, led by a single party in authoritarian style, can suppress Covid-19 with zero deaths. But for people who live here, being able to travel freely is the greatest proof that the approach worked.

(still I find it weird that covid-19 seems to be much weaker in South East Asia, even Laos or Cambodia aren't being hit that hard).

The Quest has worse tracking and slightly worse resolution, is about as comfortable on your head, but is far, far more convenient to use.

It's not just about the raw specs, it's about the experience, and Oculus are doing everything right there. It's standalone; the tracking is worse (but not so bad as to be a problem) because there are no lighttowers; it uses optical recognition of your room instead.

This means you can go absolutely anywhere, put it on, and be playing a game within sixty seconds.

I've never had it fail on me, while I've lost count of the number of times I've had to reset the Vive. Getting that thing ready for play is more like five minutes.

Might not seem like a huge deal, but it makes a difference.

I also find that the curation matters. The Quest store doesn't seem to have bad games, just games that might not be to my personal taste. Steam... Not so much.
That's similar to saying that CRUD apps are bad because you can have SQL injection (as others have mentioned). Or that username/password is a "not very good authentication protocol" because some folks store passwords in a database in plaintext. Sure, the "none" algorithm is a footgun, but just make sure you don't allow it.

Maybe I'm talking my book (because I work for a company that sells software which generates JWTs) but I think it isn't that hard to securely validate them. It's just matching on JSON keys, mostly, and can be wrapped up in a library (like https://github.com/jwt/ruby-jwt).

I also wrote an article on how to build secure JWTs: https://fusionauth.io/learn/expert-advice/tokens/building-a-...

I guess the question is, where's the balance between the responsibility of the application developer vs the RFC authors? That's an interesting discussion to have, because I bet there is at least one valid use case for every one of the JWT RFC sections. (I've even heard of valid cases for the "none" algo, like if you are very concerned about performance and have other ways of validating your clients, such as mutual TLS certs.)

I've never written an RFC/standard, but I bet it isn't an easy task.

Actually I'm not saying that you can't be profitable. Just saying that the fancy NN, won't work like magic in a noisy environment like financial time series. For other time series with periodic and other anomalies you can apply NN and you may have an edge - BUT for that kind of environments also classical methods are working quite good.

Great tips overall, but if I may add a few additional points about this simulation...

- The captcha can show notches in either 30 or 45 degree increments. I thought that the extra challenge of discerning between the two would be interesting, but it seems to be causing more frustration than I would have anticipated. Definitely lessons learned from the feedback here. :)

- The fastest boat direction from the wind also depends on the wind speed, and this also depends on the boat itself. You can find a wind response polar plot for the boat modeled here shown on the site's help page [1].

>Can you explain the fact the net worth of a typical white family is $171,000 and the typical net worth of a Black family is $17,150?

White people have higher IQ, can therefore take higher paying job, and thus have more money. They also spend their money more wisely.

Same explanation explains why East asians and jews do well, not only in the US but in any society they find themselves. Despite the fact that in the US asians were discriminated against. Japanese were sent to a concentration camp. Jews were massacred during ww2. But somehow being oppressed didn't permanently caused them to be poor performers in modern societies.
In the US, most states make it easy to form an LLC with minimal paperwork. That's enough for most businesses.

You need to pay taxes. That's part of running a business. Your pricing should be high enough to hire accountants.

They do not have the power and if they attempt to this will most definitely turn ugly as there are millions in the US that will not stand for this. You need to understand that one of two reasons we have the second amendment right is protect us from a government that could turn totalitarian or not "for the people". So when a politician says they want to take guns, this is step one of totalitarian regime stepping in and this one act alone has the power to start another civil war.
