If you sell a physical product, this is often the case. When I sell license for access, I charge based on value, not how much it costs me to deliver. Even physical products, which have not been commoditized, see value based pricing.

When a person moves, what other factors are effecting the company which justified the reduced salary?

If someone did that to me, is be looking for new work while grumbling doing old work. So if you do this and lose the employee, does it actually cost the company more?
I'm not sure who "you" and "they" are in this scenario so I apologize if this isn't what you're getting at: the failure -> fallback -> threat evaluation-> remediation process can be entirely automated except the evaluation part. I'm not a web developer so I don't know the incidence rate of using unstable builds in production and having to patch stable builds, so maybe having to manually evaluate threats in this way /would/ be annoying, but the actual devops seems pretty trivial.
What is the hippocampus good for anyway?
you could simply write a geographic correlation function on income/wealth and race/ethnicity and do just as well at this kind of forecasting, since police find crime where they look, and they tend to look in poorer and non-white areas.

further, we need to disabuse ourselves of the idea that we can predict crimes to any degree beyond random (vs. aggregate stats, like crime rates), because it's tantalizing ideas like that which leads to the slide into surveillance and totalitarianism without any real, positive return to society as a whole.
I must be doing something right. My kids are constantly surprising me by being familiar with songs that are older than they are.

On the other hand, I didn't know that "Wild Wild West" was by Will Smith! It was in constant rotation at the roller rink I used to go to so I've heard it a million times, but never knew where it came from.
QEMU can do both the complete emulation you describe and accelerated virtualization similar to that offered by VMWare.
> They are, but it's always a trade-off.

According to a Linus techtips video on Youtube the difference is not really measurable. So I kind of tend to think that a high quality thermal pad is just simply superior in every way. The only reason I didn't try it, is because I couldn't find any in stock.

Vantablack[0] would probably be adequate for the timescales involved, at least for most terrestrial[1] observations:

[1] eg. I can easily imagine a similar but more severe problem for a lunar farside observatory if (when?) Starlink is expanded to provide internet coverage for the Moon's surface. Of course, the main reason for a farside observatory would be shielding from Earth's RF emissions, so just people needing and wanting internet access on farside is probably going to be a problem first.
> We're discussing long-term planning for a sustainable future. This involves scaling back our most environmentally-damaging activities: big houses, big families, international travel, eating anything resource-intensive (notably meat, but it won't just be meat).

Sure. Perhaps not international travel, but let's say we agree for the sake of further discussion.

> It also involves a lot less economic growth.

Perhaps.

> And without growth, you can't have a default assumption of a leadership role with sufficient experience.

I can't speak for everyone, but neither I nor most of my peers find a "leadership role" desireable at all. This idea that one must "rise through the ranks" to be "successful" seems like a sad americanism to me.

So what? I'm struggling to see the relation to what you were saying before about "staying in the same job for 40 years".

> People move to cities (in part) to pursue career or social advancement, for which education (often through the mid-twenties) is often a prerequisite. If you want kids more than you want to make partner at a law firm ... you don't move to the city.

Fair enough. I still don't understand your argument one bit.
Psychology of Cyberspace: History of the Palace (1997)
I think you're projecting. I suppose in normal times I'd take more time off but otherwise I'm not sure I would quit and do something different. Admittedly lots of people get addicted to effectively the gamification aspects of compensation but there are still lots of people in tech and elsewhere that could absolutely retire comfortably and/or do whatever they wanted at a relatively young age if they wanted to.
>boot directly to seL4 from ROM as their firmware.

That's not a bad idea, but it just means you'd need to exploit dom0 or equivalent.
I do not think so. The regulation is constantly changing and the meaning of names change frequently. Thus a "Verified Account" can mean different things over the years. The problem with types and object orientation is, that the names used in the domain diverge from the name used in source code (class name, types). Think about a class diagram with class names relating to each other. To represent the domain language better, you need to change a lot in a class diagram. Dynamic languages reduce the problem, as a lot less names are needed. Clojure spec is used for specification of data instead of types, but there is also clojure typed (which uses javas type system).
I assumed this was kind of intel's plan when they purchased Altera. I this issue with this is the amount of time it takes to load the bitstream, but I thought I saw some things recently where progress was being made on this front.
this is perhaps controversial but i actually think datomic is so powerful, it's worth using clojure for. in other words, the database is driving the choice of programming language.

the idea of viewing a database as an immutable state of the world at a given instant t0, and time becoming a parameter on that state of the world (in order to show changes as time goes forwards [or backwards!]), is extremely, extremely attractive for things like finance, whose first class citizens are among others:

- capability for audits e.g. show me the history of transactions from any particular account. since datomic is basically a collection of immutable facts over time, this is "free"

- distributed computing - datomic runs nicely across your own internal compute (often needed for financial stuff)

- transactions are no longer strings, but are actual data structures - this makes the gnarly steps of things like transferring assets across instruments a lot easier (i'd imagine). think about how you'd implement a shopping cart with transactions in postgres vs. how you'd do it with access to raw data structures
Their documentation had been stellar until just around the new focus on Swift. The C, C++, and Objective-C APIs were documented well, complete with guides on the preferred way to use them. I think it might have been well before the Swift switch that they headed downhill - I have a vague memory that some New Big Features came along on OS X and the documentation was lacking and then never caught up to the quality of the older stuff.
If you're going to lie by misquoting and quoting out of context, citing a source probably isn't the best strategy. Here's the full quote. My emphasis on the part you left out because it didn't support the claim you were trying to make:

> Rapid border closures, full lockdowns, and wide-spread testing were not associated with COVID-19 mortality per million people. However, full lockdowns (RR=2.47: 95%CI: 1.08–5.64) and reduced country vulnerability to biological threats (i.e. high scores on the global health security scale for risk environment) (RR=1.55; 95%CI: 1.13–2.12) were significantly associated with increased patient recovery rates.
I think the confusion is that the original comment was worded as if I called TinyPilot a switch, but I think you're actually saying you think it's strange that Raritan calls their device a switch, despite the fact that it's only 1-port.
Many of those ships have crews that are part of the People’s Armed Forces Maritime Militia (PAFMM). The militia are organized and commanded directly by the PLA's local military commands. They don't normally carry weapons, but they have military communications equipment and readiness to support PLA Navy.

>> But despite our best efforts, frustrating or confusing features exist, and in all likelihood will continue to be added.

The above statement makes me question both the sincerity and intensity of "best efforts."
The article gives at least one explanation of this—the museum was legally obligated to distribute the collection to other museums, non-profits and educational institutions.
What a mediocre thought from a great mind. Generally we accept our own mortality even if we fear it, but we fear much more for our children. Most people are altruistic, and the fear of the end of the human species and most life on Earth (ie, fear of the atomic age) is much greater than that of dying of disease or accident.

Since it's not worth a separate comment - every single museum in the US could be kept afloat during COVID by a single rich person. Unless they want confiscatorily high tax rates in the future they should step up now.
I don't see why they would. The stars typically used for astronavigation are very bright; brighter than starlink satellites. A brief web search leads me to believe typical starlink satellites have a magnitude of around 5 or more, while the stars typically used for astronavigation have magnitudes of less than three (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stars_for_navigation)

Even if that weren't the case, it's easy for the human eye to distinguish a star from a LEO satellite; the satellite is the one that's moving fast. I see no reason the sailors couldn't simply ignore the satellites.
I've actually done extensive work with reverse engineering garmin's bluetooth protocol for setting the time on my vivofit 3 watch without making an account!

I started this project with no bluetooth experience either, it's definitely been a lot of learning.

Let me know if you are interested in continuing / working on this, might give me a nudge to get back on it.

I don't want all the baggage that comes with accepting that option including people who then put parsing directives inside comments. You seem like an intelligent person. Maybe you could come up with a JSON-compatible way to include comments.
I may be a little off in my description, but I believe that the Bitwarden server never sees your password. The client sends a derived key to authorize your access to the vault and then your password is used on the client side to decrypt the vault.

It all depends on the risk you’re trying to mitigate. A MITTM or a server attack won’t be able to gain access to your passwords, even if they intercept the data. A user with knowledge of your password or a key logged on your client could. However in either of those cases, you’re not protected all that much by having two passwords as opposed to one long one.
CPUs are already "programmable" via microcode updates.
I see a lot of "yeah I was making that" and such stories out there, but I'm not convinced that those mean that it was 'hire slow, fire fast' that stopped them.
Yeah, the worst thing of all is when you have a small company that doesn't actually need that much coordination overhead aping it from the larger companies. Spending 2 hours a day in meetings and complicated performance calibration processes is an unfortunate necessity of working with a few thousand other people; you eat the cost because it's the only way to actually get thousands of person-years of useful work done each year.

But if you're a 10-100 person company and most people are spending 25-50% of their workday on coordination and process, you're probably paying the same cost for no actual gain.

> You're going to have to learn that, as a laborer at a firm, the quality of work you do is, at best, loosely correlated to your monetary compensation. Sometimes you can do good work, sometimes you can do bad work, but how much you're paid is going to depend greatly on a number of surrounding factors.

This is really good advice. Your organization is given tens of millions of dollars to meet a set of goals. Those goals take X SDEs to accomplish. SDEs get paid roughly the same amount, regardless of their day to day.

At some point you will be in crunch mode on a highly visible project. Other times you will be updating wikis or doing things that don't need an SDE (I spend a lot of time getting paid as an SDE to work on tech documentation). The later are great times to do something you find interesting (maybe even loosely correlated with your org).

If you are an enjoyable person who can get things done, you are well worth the money. (except at amazon where the first part is frustratingly optional :)
I'm a long-time fan of legalizing drugs, but it's not entirely an easy problem to solve.

Eliminating the black market is good. Having huge corporations pushing drugs is maybe not so good, or at least we should think through the consequences.
No. Scaling income with CoL is just subsidizing the housing costs of people who want to live in more desirable locations.

If someone wants to spend part of their compensation on living in a nice area, fine. But if someone else would rather take that compensation and live in a lower CoL area then let them.

I see the point of taxes being raised, so that's fair, but really I'd expect that, before taxes and other required benefits and deductions, the salary being offered should be the same. I can't see how one could reasonably rationalize that one worker is delivering less value to the company simply because they live somewhere different than the other.
Interesting! I wonder if it'd be possible to skip the capture card and have the pi act as a USB graphics adaptor.

I think you and GP are both presenting a very narrow and biased view here.

The thing is, there’s a huge propaganda machine behind climate change. Backed by Hollywood, politicians everywhere on the left, universities.. there have been lots of distorted and hyperbolic claims made over years and years that didn’t turn out to be true. Lots of politicians making extreme claims that are just obviously false. I’ve personally seen nearing the order of hundreds of exaggerated claims that fall apart if you look in any detail, especially on MSM news sites.

Tons of pressure is put on scientists to match the narrative (multiple Climate scandals over decades where scientists were blackballed for misalignment or caught colluding to fudge numbers to paint a picture they admit they are trying to paint).

Just this year you have two books being published by left leaning scientists who basically say climate change has become a force beyond itself. Both cite data heavily. Both were attacked heavily by the press, or ignored. One was a former activist and leader in the cause originally, used to get a lot of attention and now has his posts literally deleted from Facebook.

To me it’s like this: when you hear the “dumb Americans” going on about climate change and you can’t believe how dumb they have to be to be skeptics... what you need to realize is they saw a lot of smoke, less fire, and they basically are tired of the left puffing the flames of everything they touch. Sure, there’s probably fire there. But how much can we tell? Our universities, the media, a lot of core institutions are actually not trustworthy. Skepticism is not irrational in the face of that.

I’m sure a lot of them would come around to admit some portions of climate change are legit, but it would take some really careful accounting. But they are in their own way calling out what they see as a bigger and more dangerous phenomenon: the distortion of fact gathering and science itself towards political gain. It’s an unfortunate reality. And really it’s hard to argue that isn’t true.

For reference, I am absolutely not a climate denialist but I would say I’ve burst my bubble that it’s so black and white after carefully looking at a lot of research. The main posts are likely true, the models have consistently overestimated our impact, and we focus on the wrong things more often than the real harms.

I totally get why people would be skeptical. Even smart people who have been right in contrarian ways have said exactly what I’m saying (look at Thiel).

So to simplify it down to “stupid righties” is always an error.
Well you can still manually upload the FIT file to Strava.
The way GEDmatch works you can enter any "kit number" and get a long list of matching people which has their kit number, name, email and some other basic information.

It sounds to me like hackers just managed to traverse the entire database to hunt for emails. Which is not exactly hard given how the site works.

Most kit numbers seem to be a letter and 6 numbers so not exactly hard to brute force either. You don't even have to get that many right as for any hit you might get a list of 1000+ people and use their kit numbers to get even more.

You might say that's a terrible design security-wise but that's what makes GEDmatch great for researching who you're related to. They'll either have to degrade the experience or be really stringent about rate limits and so forth.

Museum directors all agree that anyone who sells museum holdings to meet operating expenses is blacklisted from future visiting collections. Let them sell some of their holdings and all will be well. Many of them are sitting on a vast inventory of items that are never seen by anyone.
The article seems to suggest that hip-hop like "No Diggity" should be a defining song, while lots of people here are suggesting bands like Nirvana, or genres like dance/trance (e.g. Robert Miles). The thing is in the 90s all of this music was highly polarising. There were people who would simply not acknowledge any "rap" or "dance" as music at all. There were others who considered "guitar music" to be completely uncool. The most well-known songs in the article like Britney Spears, Spice Girls etc. were by far the most universally appealing songs at the time. Not everyone loved it, but not many people really hated it. It's no surprise that those are the songs that have stood the test of time.
No that makes no sense. The only reason it used to be that way is because companies had to pay a living wage for employees that lived near their offices.

There’s no good reason to hire from HCOL areas over others now so there’s no real reason for companies to pay extra.
Something is a bit fishy (okay I’m stretching this a bit).

TFA discusses all the subsidies and other forms of help from Chinese government, then toward the end it says

Still, China is hardly the worst offender when it comes to such subsidies, which ocean conservationists say, through over-capacity and illegal fishing, are a major reason that the oceans are rapidly running out of fish. The countries that provide the largest subsidies to their high-seas fishing fleets are Japan (20 per cent of the global subsidies) and Spain (14 per cent), followed by China, South Korea, and the United States, according to Sala's research.

First, kinda weird the percentage stats just stopped at Spain, making it impossible to put things into perspective.

Secondly, if Chinese fleets with all the alarming-sounding numbers only place at the third, what are the Japanese and Spaniards doing here? What about their fleet sizes? (Btw, IMHO the number of vessels may be a poor measurement of fleet size, compared to, say, total displacement; we all know how 17,000 little dinghies would compare to 300 aircraft carriers, to give an extreme example.) Do they have even larger fleets? Or do they pay more subsidies per head (or per vessel? or ton of product?) for whatever reason? Unfortunately TFA doesn’t discuss any of that.
They should be the same, because they provide the same value to the company.

Also, there are trade-offs to where one lives.

I probably don't need to list the up and downsides of urban living to this audience, but living in a rural area, you:

- Definitely can't get by without a vehicle, if you live some distance from a city

- Fuel for that vehicle

- Goods and services tend to cost more

- Less convenient access to museums, parks, gyms, etc.

- Often more money is needed to maintain real estate.

This doesn't sound like it would be unrealistic. I think this can be partially solved by two systems: one that paints and one that finds the best painting to match a current event (in the form of a topic). The latter system could be trained on a set of paintings and corresponding topics or meanings, and then uses this training to match newly generated paintings to topics/meanings.
