> Even if they were sure it was going to last, why would they move to the US?

If it no longer saves them money to be somewhere else, it's good PR. You get to hang a huge "made in USA" flag on your dealerships.

> If they stay in Mexico, they can build cars for the US and Canadian markets and make sure that 40% of the parts are made by workers making $16 an hour to avoid tariffs, and in the same plant they can build cars for the rest of the countries in the Americas but use parts made by workers making more normal Mexican wages.

People in the rest of the Americas buy different vehicle models. Chevy Beat, Nissan March, Volkswagen Vento. Very popular in Mexico.

The US market also just dominates the market on the entire continent. It has almost as many people as all of South America, but more importantly, they're the people who buy new cars. Many of those other countries not only have lower car ownership rates, a large fraction of their cars are used cars exported from the US market.

So they don't buy nearly as many new cars and most of what they do buy are different vehicle models.

> If the current US administration slaps tariffs on country X, and X retaliates with tariffs on some US export and happens to pick cars as one of those exports, that is going to hurt the car company's sales. If they had remained in Mexico, they would not have to worry about US trade wars messing up their sales outside the US.

This is assuming cars being assembled in Mexico are being exported in large numbers to the countries likely to get into a trade war with the US, which are predominantly on other continents. But the cars sold in those markets are typically also manufactured there. The Yaris is popular in Europe, they make them in France. The Buick Excelle is popular in China, they make them in Shanghai.

The Toyota Corolla is manufactured on six continents.

The cars they make in North America are mostly going to the US. And a trade war between the US and e.g. Costa Rica doesn't seem that likely, or if it somehow happened, that much of a concern for US auto manufacturing.
Honestly, for me Doctorow and Heinlein occupy many of the same spaces. It isn't great fiction, but the ideas presented coupled with 1-2 paragraphs of absolute brilliance make it worthwhile. And both have their cringey moments, although Heinlein definitely takes that cake.
Does Gabriel know about this? If not could you please clue him in and get some guidance because you are absolutely getting roasted here and are wrecking DDG's carefully built up reputation. I can easily see how this might seem to be a good idea to you and other DDG engineers but it goes 180 degrees against DDG's stated mission. In other words: you may be well outside your paygrade on this.
Does java come with the tools you need to manually manage your memory to avoid using the garbage collector? In unity with c#, the garbage collector is a major problem that is annoying to work around
It's pretty darn hard to hit their page delivery targets unless you're serving from something close to their testing site. https doesn't help, because it adds round trips (www.spacejam.com doesn't support tls 1.3, and I wouldn't want pagespeed to be using a resume handshake for initial load anyway).

An ultra small, static site can sometimes get 100 though: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=...
Do you hire remote besides US & EU?
I think you're arguing in good faith however we should normalise destroying what are essentially idols. It needs to go way way deeper than pulling down a statue though. Right through the education system. In order to not cancel historical figures we can be more honest about them. Add the current events and their background to the curriculum and discuss why they happened, AFTER, you have taught the children the history through the lens of the white colonialist (as is currently done in school). That would be a far greater educational experience than anything on offer today anywhere.
I try to leave little notes and jokes in HTML source because from when I was growing up playing with computers to now I still look at the source just to see if someone was expecting me. It's not very common now, unfortunately.
It’s legal and required by one of the New York EO 202 revisions. The emergency powers granted to the governor essentially means that executive orders can supersede or replace existing state law for the duration of the emergency.

You’re not going to win this one, unless you can semipermanently work remotely.
what about "it just runs in the browser"?

I don't want to install crap on my phone every time I want to check out a game, while I used to play a new one on kongregate every single day and not worry at all.
I have little hope that the people not understanding their data today and lacking any statistical rigor will be able to train an AI to do better. Figuring out whether an AI gives you garbage results seems to be a harder problem than figuring out whether your own results are garbage.

I haven't checked all links but some things need to be updated, for example Skimmer Scanner is gone from the Play Store and Yalp Store is abandoned and doesn't work anymore, you should be using Aurora Store. I'd also recommend Aegis or FreeOTP+ over FreeOTP for 2FA. NewPipe is better installed from this[1] repository until this[2] issue is solved.

That's fine. Those apps would be rendering with the integrated GPU (probably Intel). The nouveau driver would only be responsible for driving the outputs by scanning out from the buffers the other GPU rendered.
You're not supposed to. If you need to pair your phone to the car's bluetooth or adjust other settings that are hidden inside nested menus, you should pull over and sort it out.
At this point we're all well aware why the app phones home. Continuing to spout that like it's some ward against the fact that this is a very real vulnerability is an insult. Trust me, your target audience doesn't give a crap if favicons work; they care that DDG acknowledges the risk of a glaringly obvious vulnerability. Who do you even think you're arguing with on HN and GitHub? My children can't multiply yet but they'd be able to understand why this is bad practice.

The repeated handwaving that no one in your company is ever going to do something bad or stupid when the browser phones home for what amounts to a cute sticker is extremely suspicious.
I have a 20 year old conversion van. Lot of space if just two people. And you get a good bed and not have to deal with sleeping on the ground or tents. Have a secondary battery which runs an Engel cooler and a small microwave.

Downside: No bathroom, shower, stove, etc.

Upside: No plumbing to maintain. Lot smaller than an RV.
Yeah it’s like Picasso saying “You bought that Thomas Kinkade piece of crap? I could have a bought a brush for $3 and painted something better in just a few weeks!”
Your guesses are both wrong (see upthread) and irrelevant.

Yes, I perferred "Enter" for linebreak. Double "Enter" just not the best for us. Sometimes, we drafted the comment or description somehwere before copy into Gitlab. All lose! Some of our customers given up to fix the format and post screenshot PHOTO directly. It's very frustrating.

Regarding the edit history,

both description & comments edit history are important to me. We can only afford our freequent customers and one time projects. You know, many projects holding for months and no earning at all but you can't cut it.

Does the $3000 (USD?) bounty seem low to anyone else? Prior to reading the timeline section at the bottom of the post I would have guessed a range of 25k to 50k as a bounty for such a severe vulnerability.
Yeah, I do use Aurora Store. No longer use Skimmer Scanner. I have to update that post. Working on a new blog/site and a book (eventually). Thanks for heads up.
Given what happened with Brexit I think this idea can only work with a highly educated populace living within a society underpinned by intellectually honest political discourse. We have neither at the moment.
The Insane Engineering of the SR-71 Blackbird [video]
But enriching uranium isn't rocket science. You gassify uranium as uranium hexifluoride, centrifuge it, extract the heavier (uranium-238) fraction, and then turn the uranium-238-enriched gas into solid uranium oxide (recycle the fluorine).
On DCS: F/A-18C, there is indeed a menu item in the MFD targeting pod page to switch targeting pod FLIR white hot and black hot...

But apparently a long press of “FLIR FOV switch” pushbutton on the thrust lever to press with the ring finger of your left hand does the same thing.

Since your left hand normally rests on the thrust lever in flight, you don’t need to move your torso or even an arm at all, but the switches are just there in your hand, so when you think you might do it and tension your muscle, it’s already done.

Compare that to touchscreen menus...

I don't think the EU will be moved by this. They can easily wait till the UK exits without a deal then be in an even stronger negotiating position.
Only if you were willing to accept the "we can trust the government" part.
Yeah, the news articles and non-friend interactions killed the friend-to-friend interactions. It went from being an amazing, private social network to being the shittiest newsreader.

Maybe group chat was always destined to kill the better side of FB, I don't know. I just know that FB uses extreme negative emotion to engage, and that's not a sustainable strategy.

I think Instagram still often has the feeling of being mostly posts from people you follow, but they could easily ruin that if they're not careful. Instagram comment sections are pretty gross.
But, what about when he posts pics of the cousin's kids wearing T-shirts he bought them containing propaganda slogans? :-)
is there anything significant that we can pull from this data? 10 years sounds like a super small amount of time for a star. Does anything really "change" in this interval? or are we going to have to wait another 100, 500, 10,000 years to see anything happen?
it's also accurate based on all the news I see online...
Did they really paywall a paper from 1983?
It's alright, folks. We got E2EE and a pinky-swear.
For f.. sake what does all of this has to do with few crooks trying to move illegal helos? Does Russia have a monopoly on crime?

Yes. In the US you can find brand new 29’ Class A RVs for less than half that, but quality is relative with price paid (aka, it’ll be cheap crap).
They should call themselves a startup and improve that model full electric
Isn't jacking-in the term for interfacing the brain to cyberspace via a cybernetic interface jack? Probably it's too obscure a term.
At least you'd still have AspectJ, because it can instrument bytecode before the AOT compiler sees it. Replacing Spring with Dagger would let you codegen your DI, but in 2020 you need a really good reason to blow that much eng work to improve your startup time.
A note about helicopter crop dusting that surprised me as an Iowa resident.

Around here almost all crop dusting is done by plane. I've seen one helicopter in the last ~10 years. The helicopter had an accompanying tank truck on a gravel road. The helicopter would land on top, refuel or refill the spray, then continue operating! I was very surprised to see it operating like this.

An airplane would have needed to fly 12 miles each way to the nearest airport. Quick look online says they commonly fly at ~180 mph, meaning ~8 minutes wasted round trip. I'm guessing the distance from the airport wasn't the major motivation behind the helicopter, but rather nearby power lines.
I don't understand. So if the item is $5 and shipping is $5 regardless of the number of items being bought, then if I bought 2 I should pay $20 instead of $15?

Those are purely compile-time constructs.
Ah! That's the first explanation that sounds plausible (outside of the wear and tear of using it while plugged in).
This is very sad news. I spent a great deal of time in my childhood playing games on Kongregate. I remember reading strategy guides for Kongai, their CCG that admitted wasn't very good but I always tried to complete the game challenges to earn that weeks Kongai card.

Eventually it seemed like everyone moved away from browser games to console and PC games, at least that was true for me. It's been a long time since I've even thought about Kongregate, but it's still sad to see it go.

Hello!
I'm a fresh data analyst and seasoned business generalist with experience in project and operations management. I commenced my career as a field service technician and earned my stripes managing projects in telecommunications, electronics maintenance, and construction.

I decided that I what I really wanted was to work with data so I started my journey teaching myself the basics and common tools. Currently I'm undertaking my bachelor degree through Deakin's Cloud Campus in economics and business analytics and I'm seeking work to complement my studies. I'm looking for an entry level role or internship in data analysis but I'm also open to other opportunities including contract or project work.

I am originally from Australia but presently in Cambodia on an EG visa and looking to relocate when travel restrictions ease. Will consider all opportunities and very negotiable with working arrangements and remuneration.
Given Java's outrageous memory usage I think this is pretty compelling benefit. It is not easy to provision resources for Java applications relative to just about everything else.
I was webmaster for this site (and thousands of others at WB) back in 2001! I believe this was when we did the great www -> www2 migration, which was of course supposed to be temporary. In fact I think that was when we migrated from our own datacentre to AOL's but I could be getting the timing wrong.

Back then it was served from a Sun E4500 running Solaris (7?) and Netscape Enterprise Server. Netscape had been acquired by AOL which had also just bought Time Warner (that's why we moved to their datacentre) but somehow we couldn't make the internal accounting work and still had to buy server licenses.

Fun fact, unlike Apache, NES enabled the HTTP DELETE method out of the box and it had to be disabled in your config. We found that out the hard way when one of the sysadmins ran a vulnerability scanner which deleted all the websites. We were forbidden from running scans again by management.

Another fun fact about NES - they were really pushing server side Javascript as the development language for the web (and mostly losing to mod_perl). Also back in 2001 but at a different place I worked with the person who had just written a book on server side js for O'Reilly - he got his advance but they didn't publish it because by the time he had finished it they considered it a "dead technology".

Our job was basically to maintain an enormous config file for the webserver which was 99% redirects because they would buy every conceivable domain name for a movie which would all redirect to the canonical one. Famously they couldn't get a hold of matrix.com and had to use whatisthematrix.com. Us sysadmins ran our own IRC server and "302" was shorthand for "let's go" - "302 to a meeting". "302" on its own was "lunchtime".

I still mention maintaining this site on my CV and LinkedIn - disappointingly I've never been asked about it in an interview. I suspect most of the people doing the interviewing these days are too young to remember it.
An ex DuckDuckGo employee recommending people use an alternative browser over the DuckDuckGo browser, in a post about the DuckDuckGo browser spying on its users, is about as on topic as you can get; after the current employee giving an explanation.

If that's true, then I am so glad they ghosted me when I applied there.
I think GraalVM can fall back to a JVM if it can’t AOT the whole thing?
I wish them luck, and hope they come up with a stellar energy source. However, I'm not optimistic, and I think most pursuit of nuclear is stubbornness to finally prove the misinformed yokels wrong.

The 80% renewables feasibility study will quickly be out of date, and we will get to 90% or 95% with pure renewables and short term storage. That's because we haven't even really considered much demand side management, and most of the studies vastly underestimate the pace of price decline. And when we have a grid powered by 70%-95% renewables we will find an energy market with a ton of electricity that's getting curtailed--ie energy that is essentially free.

IMHO more promising climate bets would likely be: 1) low capital cost hydrogen production that is cost effective when used highly intermittently, 2) atmospheric carbon capture and conversion to carbon chains for synthetic fuels. The second route is already being pursued by some startups, and they think that they will be able to match the current cost of gasoline with gasoline made from atmospheric CO2 and solar power within 5-10 years.

Atmospheric carbon capture is going to be necessary in a few decades, so we need to start developing the tech now and make it as cheap as possible.

If nuclear could be no mode than 2x the cost of solar, I think there may be some use cases for it, but I don't think there will be much of an economic case for it. If we could site it right next to residential or offices, we could perhaps use the waste heat for space heating, but I can't see that being popular.
The difference is that websites are not built for the end user, they are built to exploit them. I can buy a top tier Nikon camera and the UI is similar to the fighter jet, all buttons external, high quality, tactile, built for thousands of daily operations.
That depends on why you use Scala?

Do you use Scala as a better Java? If so, Nim may be what you want.

Do you use Scala for its incredible type system? Rust may be what you want.

Do you use Scala for its functional tendencies? Rust may be what you want.

As an aside, I've found that once you get over the Rust learning curve, writing 'correct' programs is easier in Rust than any other language I've used. And for data centric applications, being 'correct' is extra important.
In 1999 the "Eric Breindel Award for Excellence in Opinion Journalism" [0] was instituted with an endowment from Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.

Who is "Eric Breindel" ... well Wikipedia includes this, as his legacy:

"In 1988, Spy magazine ran a feature that depicted Breindel as a ruthlessly career-driven opportunist whose career was effectively ended by his drug bust"

And regardless of accuracy, I consider this to be an excellent definition for whatever "Opinion Journalism" must be.

Facebook (presumably in a dark pattern to make me install the app) has stopped showing me anything at all in my m.facebook feed. It's quite the relief actually, now I might actually be able to quit.
Before this they told me I would have to install the app to send and receive messages. After a month of using mbasic.facebook.com the m. messaging functionality returned.
We're a cutting edge AI company doing neural search, seeking AI engineers and full-stack developers who actually give a crap about open source.

A lot of people talk a big game about how awesome open-source software is. Not so many really understand its value and believe in it so much that they'd pack in their stable jobs at tech giants and risk it all for an open-source venture. We're in that second group.

A lot of people waste their words complaining about risk averse entrepreneurial and investment culture that hinders the rise of AI unicorns. Not so many want to shake up the system and fix it for the better. I think you can guess where we stand.

We are Jina AI, a venture-backed, well-funded AI COSS company, and we invite you to join us to build the next neural search ecosystem in open source. Will you step up?

Very interesting. How about upgrade knowledge to git?

People iterate knowledge together in a git-based knowledge base network.

Upload your own knowledge base, wiki to the network.

Push/pull -> new thoughts, breakthroughs...

Merge -> different knowledge branch

Then build a search engine on top of it.
