I always thought that a hair cutting robot should use that static electricity trick to make your hair stand up straight, then it would be a matter of having your head immobilized, and then the problem is way easier to solve in a safe way.
Honestly there was no real dark side. I supposed you could say some mangers were a little trigger happy on firing, but in a sibling comment I addressed that.

I left to start a startup. I would work there again in second if I ever go back to working for someone else (and they had a role for me).
I have a brand new design with DDR2. I can power memory from existing 1.8V rail, no need for more voltage regulators. And 400 MHz is totally ok for me since I can have whole memory bandwidth for myself, no operating system, etc. And my application is very cutting edge for sure in its domain.
After having a pocket knife close on my finger as a kid (when I did something stupid;)), I will never again use a pocketknife without a locking mechanism.

A knife is a personal tool; Often what you're paying for is not just the blade quality, but also the ergonomics. For example, my dad has one that he really likes, but I dislike the blade shape, and there's another one I have that is just horribly shaped and feels terrible in the hand.
FWIW we have been seeing a lot of larger communities that previously were deadset on Slack because "everyone knows it" importing their data from Slack in the last few months.

Part of the reason is that Zulip's topics make it a lot easier for a part-time participant to use their limited time well (E.g. skimming or reading the conversations in most relevant to them in batch a few times a week). The Slack/Discord/IRC/etc. data model limits how effectively one can participate and benefit from a high-traffic organization without constantly watching it (and being in the organization's dominant time zone!).

Less polarized? Huey Long got shot for FDR to get in, and actual socialism was a thing in the United States. Assassination attempts were regularly made against union busters.

I feel the same as you. I am also an immigrant that came to the USA escaping a country where people were suffering after decades of oppression and a string of socialist dictatorships. Seeing the actions of the CCP being normalized and defended in the USA concerns me a lot.

The title is a outright lie.

Not jealous. I'm a design engineer that realize this didn't work.
Right. The talk of filter lenses forgets that some are a bit closer to reality then others.

Anyways, I just assume by full context they mean something like "you gotta show those n______ and bums who is boss or they might get uppity".
Multinational corporations have no loyalty to anything except their shareholders. Politicians should not feign surprise when they do not align with national interest.
> If my friend or my fiancee dies then I'm damn well going to feel sad. I might cry in public sometimes. To suggest that there is something wrong with me for doing that is massively inhumane.

In my experience, US society allows for this form of authentic expression of grief. Take enough walks near overlooks or by bodies of water, and you will eventually see someone openly experiencing grief. Where have you experienced that this is not normative?
The thing that frustrates me is that I follow a lot youtubers who don't post frequently and then some that do. The infrequent posts are typically electrical engineering or computer science related. I enjoy these topics more than others, but watch less of them due to the frequency of posts. I also follow some gaming stuff and liberal librarian politics as well as a few other things related to medical science and a smattering of random other topics. Without fail, YouTube will stop recommending engineering topics to me and try to send me down the rabbit hole of clickbait gaming and political topics. It's infuriating b/c after a few weeks, I notice I've not seen any engineering related videos and then have to go back and search through the channels to see what I missed. YT even hides them the sub feed. WTH?
>> Negotiating your salary upfront is likely going to give you the best deal you can get. Don't kid yourself into thinking that you can "show your value" to improve your negotiating position. Your first few months on the job are usually when you are at your lowest performance, since you are learning the company's processes. That is your trial period.

That does not conform to my experience as employee or as an employer. Do you have any evidence to support it? If does sound like something a recruiter who wants to take a cut of your first year salary (from the employer) would say.
To be human is to have something an incredible number of other species have?
If the company's unofficial policy is that if someone gets a high rating on the team, then someone else must be given a low rating to balance that out, even if they don't deserve it.
Yes. But I don't think that giving more power to the US Empire will be better for human rights long term. The US and it's client states also kill millions of people for profit.
Re point 1: in many cases people actually DO have the sample size if the magnitude of the revenue increase is large enough (e.g. double price and increase conversions - lots of stories about this).

Re point 2: in the end increased revenue from better pricing means you're capturing more of the value you're delivering to customers. but yes, there's a brand decision to be made here between 1 price that you always keep the same vs. a changing price that is more optimal.

Re point 3: companies should always be testing their pricing since external factors don't stay the same.

PS: this is also on the blog of a dynamic pricing company so they don't want the people on the fence about handing over pricing control thinking about a/b testing price haha.
If I have to choice Python hands down because it can be async but is synchronous by default. But theses days there's Typescript so the choice is harder. I'm actually learning Ruby at the moment and I'm surprised how my perception of it was so wrong, so what I'm saying is it's easy to get the wrong idea at first, but once you dig in, you'll find a bunch of hidden gems in a language no one talks about. These little gems are what collectively makes a language good or not--it's not just one major feature, it comes down to the attention to detail.
Failed like didn't explode or failed like set the entire atmosphere on fire?
It shouldn't just be "high profile" accounts. Every person is susceptible to abuse by insiders, so give the same protections to all.
I'm not denying the creationist idea, either (life seeded by some entities sounds plausible to me; just not the almighty bearded guy in the sky, sounds very dumbed-down). And I think consciousness is more of a virtual machine. Could be compared to a "natural AI" of sorts - that arose on top of our primitive animal selves. But that's just my daydream theories. Groups of people can indeed behave as different/new entities.

It's just that the physical composition of our bodies are knwon down to the protons (and even deeper). How they all work is a different question, but there is a specific way they work. Just have to figure it out.

When I say machine, I mean it as "construct" of any kind, not just electromechanical. Imo, it would be really nice if we could grow and reattach whole body parts, or grow bodies for transplant, but obviously those ideas bring a lot of negative connotations and ethical problems, so we're investing in electromechanical alternatives instead.
It costs them money to add physical address pins, though.

While we're here I hope anyone can explain to me why Cooper Lake Xeon parts are listed as supporting 4.5TB of DDR4.

Answering self: the 4.5TB support is mostly Optane memory, not DDR4.
I think the mechanism behind that is a sort of "colonial expansion" essentially where the newer area of development and wealth have less legacy, regulatory capture, and less sunk costs into the status quo similar to general anti-cannabalization of old and large companies falling behind. That and other forms of consolidation of power to slow the overall systems down.

Okay, so on mobile and I’ve already talked too much in this thread so I won’t go in-depth, but you need to read the paper that this thread is about. Your estimates of the HIT are way too high because you are not accounting for the proportion of the population that is immune to COVID-19 infection despite never having come into contact with a SARS-type virus.

Also instead of saying “based on coronaviruses in general” you should just say “based on the basic reproduction number”.

Anyway even if HIT were 65-90% my argument is the same. But the fact that you gave that 65-80% estimate means you don’t understand the math. Factor in the preexisting t cell cross reactivity. Factor in heterogenous susceptibility (risk of infection even controlling for # of exposure events/social interactions varies heavily in the population, for example old people are much more likely to get infected)

TL;DR: you need to do more background reading and update your priors. you’re operating in very stale info. I also think you’ve failed to understand my general argument outlined across this thread but I’m too tired to repeat it so I’d urge you to re-read the comments where I outline my case
The simple explanation here is that Putin asked for the best-possible information about when a vaccine will be ready, and their intelligence agency decided that to answer confidently, they needed to look at non-public documents.

They would likely also be looking to manufacture their own supply, using intellectual property they can't otherwise access. This would be a straightforwardly good thing; vaccines made with stolen IP still save lives, and those lives matter a lot more than how money moves around.

(Sabotage, on the other hand, would be unforgivable. But there is no evidence of that happening, so it's best not to speculate about baseless accusations.)
For me, I have to say it, it's MS Outlook. I do e-mail all day every day and I use VBA macros and all sorts of shortcuts to make it very useful. Love it.
Everyone involved was confident the gun-type bomb would work. They'd tested bringing two pieces of enriched uranium close together in criticality experiments. That experiment killed several people at Los Alamos.

The big worry was it going off prematurely. When the Enola Gay took off to drop the uranium bomb on Hiroshima, their orders were that if they had to turn back, dump the bomb in deep water. A billion dollars to the bottom of the sea. That was preferable to taking the chance of blowing the airfield on Tinian off the map if the B-29 had a fire on landing.

Making enriched uranium was slow, but working. The gaseous-diffusion plant cascades were working, after months of startup. The second gaseous diffusion plant at Oak Ridge, K-27, opened in September 1945, a few weeks after the end of the war. If the war had dragged on, there would have been more uranium bombs.
One device I haven't found, but wish existed, is a keyboard that doesn't accept input from the "wrong" finger. I'd even be fine if it required the operator to affix a little decal to each fingertip.

My touch-typing has been wonky since forever; I do use all my digits, but I sporadically cheat with my right index finger.

This has gone on for years, but I'll bet I'd lick it within a couple weeks, given a device that just doesn't respond when the operator presses the 'G' key with the wrong finger.

I am no knife nerd and it is heresy to bring it up in this thread but I am a big believer in ceramic knives. They cut clean, maintain an edge with no fuss, and just work. I recommend ones from Kyocera (made in Japan) since those have worked well for me. Also somewhat related, my peppermill is a Kyocera ceramic as well - works awesome compared to some of the others I've tried.
You couldn't be more wrong. Memorization is one of the lowest forms of intelligence. Just because you can spit out a DFS algorithm, it doesn't mean you understand why and how it works.

FAANG employers want innovators who think outside the box. You can't do that with sheer memorization. Nothing new would be developed if tech companies hired people who just worked with what they already knew.

There's a difference between software engineers and coders. If tech companies didn't want engineers, they would simply hire coders from a coding boot camp.
All kitchen knives worth anything require maintenance.

Really good knives (i.e. usually made with good steel) will hold an edge, and require less sharpening before each use.

Instead you can just hit them weekly or so with a sharpening ceramic.

Cheaper knives need constant sharpening, and or don't hold an edge for anything, and require you to do all the work.

Regardless, always wash and dry your knives by hand, and always cut on a cutting board.

Me personally, I love Shun knives. Not cheap, but the time and effort saved when cooking make it worth the investment.

My first shun is over 10 years old, and I have never sharpened it with a stone, just a sharpening ceramic.
Business Software – The Best Software for Company Management
I don't think that theory is as true as you believe.

China ceded a whole lot of territory to Russia without too much of a fuss. The whole of Mongolia was part of Qing, and they gave that up. Dittobfor Vladivostok.

China's border disputes with India was created by the British, who just draw a line somewhere without consent. China offered to draw turn the Line of Actual Control into the official border, which means China would get about 30% of the land, but India rejected that offer, so now we are at a perpetual border conflict.

There is no 'concealed weapons permit' in Washington state. The only available permit is pistol-specific.
The published article annotated modes of failure with respect to the desired operational objective of a 5kton blast, 500 ton, various component failures, and their implications. It's written from a operational impact perspective on the war, Potsdam, and cold war implications.
I am torn between the zero-sum and "abundance" concepts. It seems like some people like to promote the "abundance" concept (where one person's gain adds to everyone else) as an ideal but in reality I have only ever seen zero-sum results in terms of job acquisition and career advancement. There is a fixed number of slots and you need to eliminate others in order to obtain it.
True, the individuals that stopped dragonfly are commendable. However, that was not all of Google.
I'm curious how the compensation is structured. For someone with equity in the business a 72 hours downtime is horrible.

But if the devs are making below market rate, and their compensation is unrelated to the business' performance, it's a little unrealistic to expect them to be going above and beyond for on-call duties.

Y'all, it would be great if we could avoid the "actually, Austin would never be able to replace Silicon Valley" takes because they are rarely interesting or original.
The KDT is a brilliant insight, but it only really works if people have some ability to distance from a situation and their own emotional framing of it.

I recently dropped a link to the KDT into a rather mad online flame war that took a Facebook forum by surprise.

It may have made a few participants stop and think, but overall it was a low EQ mistake and didn't go well. I don't recommend it.
Read the article, but he's talking about failures as in not exploding (or exploding with significantly lower yield).
Do you have a reference to your claims?

According to this, Judge Sullivan rejected the assertions of FBI entrapment and prosecutorial malfeasance:

> Similar to Horowitz’s findings, the court ruling undercut arguments that the FBI investigation or Justice Department prosecution of Flynn was unjustified or improperly handled.

> Refuting Flynn’s claims that he was misled into unwittingly pleading guilty to charges, Sullivan wrote that it was undisputed that Flynn told the same lies to the FBI, Vice President Pence and senior White House officials, who repeated them to the American public, leading to his firing in February 2017.

> “The sworn statements of Mr. Flynn and his former counsel belie his new claims of innocence and his new assertions that he was pressured into pleading guilty to making materially false statements to the FBI,” Sullivan wrote.

...

> “Arguably, you sold your country out,” Sullivan told Flynn during Flynn’s initially scheduled sentencing hearing, on Dec. 18, 2018. Sullivan cited Flynn’s admissions that he hid the substance of talks with Kislyak and lied when he said he did not know the extent of the Turkish government's involvement in work his firm had obtained and when he claimed an op-ed he wrote for the Turkish president’s benefit was done at his own initiative.

When I say "the U.S.", I mean the current admin and associated groups.

It is fairly evident that the U.S. is worried about China putting it in a position where it's not as easy/effective to go around the world, exploit foreign natural resources under false pretenses and sanction "non-compliant" nations to the brink.

It has absolutely 0 to do with human rights and all to do with economic power.

As for Chinese domestic human rights, the thing is doing coups etc. as was done so many times in i.e. the Middle East and Latin America won't lead to a better outcome because a coup is a forceful, violent and sudden, unnatural event that requires forces usually as bad if not worse than the current regime to pull off and denies the chance for long-term institutions to develop that adopt naturally by increasing human rights, however slowly.

It's the same problem with introducing modern economic theory, manufacturing, technology to a nation that did not had that trickle in at least somewhat continually over a period of time. It's a shock to the system in a way that rarely leads to better long-term outcomes.
This ex Spokane cop Frank Straub guy is a complete asshole and his responses are uniformly bullshit. In his response to every single video, no matter how shitty the cops behaved, he starts from a position of trying to make excuses for their bad behavior. His default position is the same garbage "us versus them" mentality that people want to change. At best he gives a soft criticism of truly egregious behavior. He's an apologist for police brutality and has no integrity. Yet another example of how incredibly far out of touch the police and anyone associated with them really are.
One thing to consider: the $100k gained in this attack is completely random. The attacker(s) had no way of knowing they would get that much. It could just as easily have been $5k or less. People are framing it like the attacker knew they'd be getting that much coin.
Optimizing Studying for 5 Week Class
Which is an even lower bar, is it not?
Great question. There's a use for usability testing, where paid participants currently sit at an application in a lab to do eye tracking. So there can be a similar version online for if let's say, Bloomberg is testing a new version of their online terminal. Multiple large companies exist that solely develop eye trackers, so there's quite a market for this.

Plus it does not have to be monetary compensation. I could imagine eye tracking as an option to get around the current newspaper paywalls. If you want to read an article, you can choose to pay (subscription) as usual, or you can read them for free if you let the New York Times see what articles you read, for how long, in which order, or what ads you looked it.
This looks pretty cool, and I remember Bull from a long time ago.

Would you mind expanding on why Redis isn’t a good fit for job queues?

Is this the same FDR that tried to pack the US Supreme Court and interned over 100,000 Americans of Japanese decent in camps?

> That was when U.S. understood that you can only attain so much by brute force.

WWII was pretty much brute force all the way. Around the clock bombings of enemy cities and civilians. Firebombing Tokyo, nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And that was from the US side. The Soviet side had such things as massive artillery barages of cities, no step back rule where people with machine guns shot their own soldiers for not advancing fast enough.
You could do this in GNU C probably at least as far back as 1990. In GNU C, this syntax:

({ expr1; expr2; ... ; exprN })

gives you something like a Lisp progn: it's an expression, whose value is exprN.

Complete sample:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char *foo = (argc > 1) ? ({
printf("consequent\n");
"condition is true: I have arguments";
}) : ({
printf("alternative\n");
"condition is false: I don't have arguments";
});
puts(foo);
}

This is almost certainly because RMS is a Lisp hacker. I.e. why GCC uses Lisp notations internally and functions with "mapcar" in the name and such.

I discovered it by accident sometime in 1993. I wanted the value of the last expression in a braced block. Maybe it can forced into an expression if you just put parentheses on it? By golly, the intuition worked.

Mainly, it is used in writing macros. Speaking of which:

#include <stdio.h>

#define ifblock(expr) (expr) ? (
#define elseblock ) : (
#define endblock )

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char *foo = ifblock (argc > 1) {
printf("consequent\n");
"condition is true: I have arguments";
} elseblock {
printf("alternative\n");
"condition is false: I don't have arguments";
} endblock;
puts(foo);
}
You just have to leave no evidence of the hack that links to you, but you have to do that anyway to get away.

There's nothing to hide after the fact. Dump the burner computer you used for the hack when you're done and never log in to the accounts, VPNs and VPSs you used again.

That you have the money is an open and legal fact, so you don't have to conceal anything really.
It's hard to know if you are clinically depressed. I've asked myself the question many times, and can never really say for sure.
