I think you've tried and failed to read my mind. Don't try that in the future. It never works, and it makes you look dumb.
I would not blame incompetence. Same things happen in SW projects all the time. It was wrong planning and organization.

The client was constantly allowed to adjust plans.

I've worked as architect on similar sized projects. You can't allow clients and esp. committees to change direction at all. This a breach of contract. With hospitals, universities, concert halls and airports you need to be strict to the local government, which is the client in such cases.
They are no experts, they change every 4 years, they exhibit irrational behavior sitting in a committee.

@not2b pointed out a number of very valid issues in the United States. No disagreement from me, these are obvious and very important problems.

But then followed it up with:

>> Now, all of this could be turned around quickly with good leadership that could rally the country behind a cause, but we chose someone who is committed to division...

"Now, all of this could be turned around quickly with good leadership" on its own could be interpreted as an abstract philosophical statement, but not when it is accompanied by "...but we chose someone..." implies a specific context (the last election), does it not?

In the last election, there were two choices: Trump and Clinton.

Trump was elected, leaving Clinton as the only other choice of a person who could have "turned this situation around quickly with good leadership that could rally the country behind a cause".

Is: "are you asserting that Clinton both could have and would have done so? If so, how do you know this?", requesting clarification and evidence of the claim, inappropriate in this context?

Is: "Were all of these issues nonexistent under prior administrations?" not appropriate, considering the claim was that a different choice could "turn this situation around quickly"? Is past performance of Presidents not relevant to the epistemic soundness of a claim that something is not just possible, but quick?

I'm thinking: perhaps turning things around in a country of 300 million people of vastly different cultures and ideologies is a bit more complicated than is appreciated by some forum commentators. Just an idea.

> Ask yourself this, could the current administration's response have been better given what was known at the time? If the answer is emphatically yes, then perhaps another person is better suited for the job.

Of course, just look around at other countries. There are surely thousands of people in the Unites States that could have handled this situation better, but we are only allowed to vote for the candidates that are undemocratically offered. And let's not forget, an election isn't about on issue, like "who would handle a pandemic best?". The reality is, each voter is (or should be) considering many thousands of variables, many of which have unknown values and all sorts of messy stuff.

The notion that ~"because President<A> is handling individual issue <x> poorly, therefore it logically follows that Candidate<Y> was the better choice for President" is not strongly logical. The answers to questions like this (or, what the hell is even going on, at any level of significant complexity) are actually not known - it just doesn't seem like it. I happen to believe that this phenomenon may actually play a major role in the underlying cause of the problems themselves.
So have the Irish, Chinese, and Italians. What does the crimes of others of the same race have to do with it?

I don't know what 747s have been used for on average, but I associate them with a once-in-a-lifetime trip across the Atlantic. So talking about the merits of smaller planes or not liking "gateway airports" seems irrelevant in the context of that being how you got across an ocean.

No one thinks that's a reasonable target. That's insane. I don't know who that person is or what he's in charge of, but that's the fastest way to being a dead company.

100 ms max on backend processing, 500 ms max on first time to interaction. Client connection speeds matter, obviously. 3-4 seconds is get your fired ass out of here in my world.
Would it be any different if FIRST the 3 planes had crashed, and then a few weeks AFTER that, the hacking tool was announced?

Even doing the official Elastic training - Elasticsearch Engineer 1 gives you everything you need to hurt yourself to set up, use and admin a cluster, but no security is covered unless you sign up for the next course and pay another couple of thousand dollars. Security really should be covered as a default in EE1.

I'm a huge fan of beginner tutorials that include security as a default, rather than having it as the thing you do last - and then commonly in actual project work all the development gets done against an insecure cluster in dev, then someone turns security on at the end, it all breaks and you now have a group of stressed-out people only incentivized to remove the thing that is now delaying the project at the very last moment. Makes for some easy mental gymnastics.
I guess the real answer here is I'm not cut out to be an exec and I don't understand the mindset of people who are because I'm fine getting payed $100k a year (modulo inflation) for the rest of my life and I've lived most of my career at $30k, and I would never fire anyone to increase my own salary. I would sooner go broke at a company I ran than hang people out to dry who depended on me for a livelihood.
>And then when that failed to happen he was stuck with socialism in one country, but decided to go ahead anyway, with the predictable result that it came under military threat first from the fascists and then the capitalist countries

With Russia, within roughly a year every major player involved in WWI had declared war on the Reds. Threats from the facists came much later, when I'd argue the entire revolution was over.

In general though, Lenin's personal ambition had seemed to be his driving force for most of his revolutionary career, which is why I'm skeptical of it's ideal outcome as well.

>In the case of China and Cambodia, military threat was predictable from the beginning

I agree, but I think the hostility from capitalist countries has an overbearing influence on the kind of atrocity filled resulting states.

>Is it to wait around for the revolution to finally takes place in the advanced nations?

I don't really support a violent revolution anywhere, and have moved into the "slow change" side of revolution.

As for the rest, I also suspect that Democratic centralism is a flawed premise, and view Lenin's disbanding of the soviets as proof he was aiming for a dictatorship. As for Chomsky, I don't think he is one. This discussion was how he doesn't think the revolution was wholly bad, as the propaganda makes it out to be, but he was hardly praising it either. I'm not really sure why you started this conversation about Marxism-Leninism if I'm honest.
> So at some point, the engine stopped working on macOS. Mostly because Apple doesn’t want people to use OpenGL, so they’re starving their drivers from development

As a graphics developer, all I can say is... sigh. Apple has fought against open standards in graphics. They never overtly move against open standards (that I'm aware of) instead they use their dominant platform and refuse to or drag their heels in implementing support for open APIs.

Even though there's a new era of cross platform graphics APIs in Metal, WebGPU, and Vulkan, the fight has now moved onto formats, as everyone except Apple work towards open formats like WebP, glTF, basis universal (fortunately they can't avoid that last one), while Apple announces they'll use USDZ instead, or not add support for WebP.
Has PIA solved that issue a lot of providers have where services like Google voice recognition just fail to work better than half the time? I presently use AirVPN to bypass my carrier's video streaming limits but barely being able to use Assistant is a pain.
Not the exact same, but Vancouver is piloting something like this. You get evaluated by a doctor and if you're addicted and have fentanyl in your system (at high risk of OD), they will prescribe you hydromorphone (which is a very cherished street drug). There is a "vending machine" where you can put in your credentials and out pops your dose. You can do it as often as you want, but there is a minimum time between doses.[1]

Regarding your fuel comment, that is what NIST found. They confirmed in their report that indeed, it cant and didnt. They rely on a weakening... where the fire was, which is a few floors of the top of the 2 buildings. The 3rd building is a different eh... reason.

This sentence from the article offers a clue. Of course Apple are not the only bad actors here. But basically, it's company politics.

I hope that with "for any user" your parent means something like p99 load times which include people on GPRS connections.
Why do you dismiss hypothetical questions out of hand, without evidence? Can one prove a negative or disprove a counterfactual statement? I just don’t know why you think that you must be right, as the actions of the hackers indicate otherwise. It’s hard to tell what is intent and what is misdirection when it comes to hacks of this nature, all the same.

Yep, I was joking with our rep that them using Cloudflare Access for their internal services sounds like a problem waiting to happen.

Guess I wasn't wrong, they might even have lost access to internal monitoring systems which is pretty unfortunate in such a situation. If you ask them about Cloudflare Access they will happily tell you that it was built for internal tool access and that they use it for everything, later they went on to sell it as a product.
In the article, the authors say that, in 2015, US researchers created a chimeric virus from a bat coronavirus to infect mice lung cells. They tested the virus on human lung cells and predicted that it would be very dangerous to humans. They stopped doing research on it because it would break the US rules against making human viruses more powerful. They were working with virus researchers from Wuhan. The authors conjecture that the Wuhan researchers used the same techniques and made Sars-cov-2 and it accidentally got out.
If I'm at a place where people will lose their jobs if I leave the company the answer is simple: I don't leave until that's either not the case or I personally can't afford it anymore.

Tracking that makes your life better is useful. If Opendoor knows you are looking for a new house in Arizona, and they can show you just the right house before it's sold to someone else, isn't that fantastic?
Robot control would be a fascinating applications (but my students had to program our robots in C [1] ;-)).

I am not an expert in ROS, but there have been other projects using Smalltalk for robotics, such as NXTalk [2] and a Squeak-based system [3]. A more general paper discusses the challenges in using Smalltalk for robotics applications [4].

So it should be possible to do this on the Smalltalk-80 bare-metal port. One problem that will definitely show up, though, is the limited memory space and number of objects of Smalltalk-80, since it uses a 16 bit VM. Modern robotics applications involving complex SLAM approaches, object recognition or LiDAR might be a bit challenging for this, so I think a more modern 32 bit based VM such as Squeak or Pharo is more appropriate here.

Yes, introductions get made on Twitter, "slide into the DMs" does not mean that you're trying to conduct a three year romantic relationship on it. Usually people are going to get off it, and onto a real messenger application, even if they just want sex.
Not a history at all. It's a sales pitch for a product looking to make a plug-and-play version of term sheets.
You can (usually accidentally) end up with a render blocking script tag. In this article example it was client-side optimizely.

The parsing and execution of third-party javascript is definitely non-trivial if you profile it, especially on lower end devices.

Finally, browser download priority requires async and defer attributes on scripts (usually), or other clever ways of deferring loading.
WebP is a pretty terrible standard, all things considered, and I have very low technical confidence in JPEG XL from the same team. USDZ is also pretty different from glTF; the former is a scene description that includes things like lights and composition, while the latter is strictly model interchange. Originally designed as a transmission format until people realized it wasn't well suited for that.
You might have to get your vision checked.
If I actually intended to do something illegal over a VPN, then yeah. Not really my style though. I prefer a dedicated, clean laptop, a large antenna, and a public hotspot for my torrenting.
Trees do air capture and storage, they slowly and naturally capture CO2, and you can even turn them into "biochar". Blue carbon would just acidify oceans, a much worst case.

The kind of person that is pro carbon credit would prefer it even if carbon had no effects on the weather.
>Azure can even configure mutual authentication between the LB & the underlying servers

You can achieve a similar effect in AWS, by declaring only the LB's security group as the source in servers' security group ingress rule.

Any requests sent directly to the servers simply wouldn't connect.
I’m not, California should have got its shit together and instituted comprehensive tracking and tracing commensurate with the needs of public education restarting. By failing to build testing and tracing capacity we have wasted the time bought for us through mass unemployment. California is the 5th largest economy in the world, we could have done this alone and ignored the rest of the us, but we didn’t and that is a failure.

I owe no loyalties to corporates, I have other interests that I would like to spend time on and pursue more than convincing stakeholders to make decisions that should have been made long ago to have them avoided being put in the position they are now.

For security internally, sure. Mandating that every one of your customers has a Yubikey is somewhat trickier to do in practice, and a nightmare to manage the logistics around lost keys.

I personally have 3 Yubikeys, one on my keyring, one in my small first aid kit (which is kept in my backpack and usually close to me) and one that doesn't ever travel with me. We give our staff yubikeys and require them to use them for services where we have customer data (including logins to our own service).

And we support them for our customers to use, but mandating that all our customers have physical 2FA devices to protect their own accounts is still a bridge very much too far today.

I've felt this way from the get go.

Albeit, I'm not a single family (we have two parents) but...I'm an advocate for homeschooling. I have been for about a decade now. I've noticed a lot of different parenting styles growing up and education matters tremendously but not just book smarts, but emotional intelligence, dealing with various people, skills, and even high valued skills.

As I've lived my life and looked into multiple system, I feel the American education has failed it's students for well over 30 years. The student that succeed? The ones that knows that school is more than 9am to 2pm (or whatever depending on the age). I feel it's best taught in the home.

As the child ages and more skilled studies are required, yes they'll learn from teachers but parents can get very far with a child, if you encourage them to learn and foster their curiosity.

Finally, I'll conclude with this. I feel very grateful for this covid19 because this will now help more resources to improve the quality/efficiency of homeschooling. I look forward to using these new resources that will rise up.
Somewhere, someone is saying the marketing is fine since 100 has just 1 significant figure and therefore two nines -- no, one and a half nines -- can safely be written as 100.

I've seen something like this before and it was related to my video driver (nouveau, I think).
Politics mainly.

We could have OpenGL but Microsoft wanted their own so they made Direct3D and ATI and Intel were unable to make both Direct3D and OpenGL work properly (because most people targeted Direct3D anyway so why bother?) so after SGI bankrupted themselves, Khronos was formed and they decided to define a new OpenGL from scratch to help ATI and Intel claim they have OpenGL (they pay money after all) so they built the core profile but ATI-now-AMD and Intel failed to make that work too (since people still targeted Direct3D so why bother?) so to help them again they decided to ignore OpenGL and make Vulkan which kinda seems to work for now but AMD and Intel took their time to produce certified drivers and Vulkan doesn't look that popular (though Direct3D 12 which is essentially the same thing also isn't that popular either, but the alternative tends to be Direct3D 11 so still no reason to bother fixing OpenGL) so who knows for how long this will work?

Apple was in the OpenGL train initially but like their Java and X11 support that was so they have some easy ports of important stuff and once they got a sniff of popularity they ditched anything non-Apple because why bother maintaining something others control?

That is my interpretation of the story so far anyway. And i didn't mention OpenGL ES which is OpenGL in name only but not in anything that really matters - but thanks to iOS and Android it became popular even though both of these devices had more than enough power to handle the proper thing instead of the crippled down version that was originally designed for J2ME feature phones that couldn't even do floating point math.

On the positive side, OpenGL is still the API that has the most wide availability and of all APIs the one that has the most reimplementations on top of other APIs - though in both cases you'll want to stick to older versions, but TBH versions were always a fluid thing with OpenGL anyway, you're not supposed to think in versions but in extensions.
I'm just going to go out on a limb here and assume you're a product manager for atlassian.

That is antithetical to the principles of science, but it depends on what area of science you operate in.

To take the spectrum of shades of grey:

- first hint of grey with physics
- greyer all they way down to biology where every different field has their own bar graphs

You're a lunatic if you say 2+2=5, to return to the cases in point, it's been done, it's been dusted (mostly), and there's going to be a lot more work to do in the future to clear it up but people will always want to see the 'missing link' or proof that there was no leakage (deliberate or otherwise) from the lab.

Opinion yes, but the second assessment ("Gutachten") will not examine the accused personally, only the paperwork. In all cases psychiatric assessors will trust their colleagues more than written defenses or observations. Only if the first assessment is internally severely flawed it can be overruled. In most cases the first assessment just ignores any contradicting evidence, so the independent assessors had no chance to find out any contradictions or flaws. It simply is not in the papertrail.
