Recording what everyone says? I can't imagine many people would go for that. If a company decided to actually be serious about trying to implement this, I'd imagine you'd first have to implement "all meetings must produce documented meeting notes", then add on "all suggestions must be brought up in relevant meetings" and then finally "all suggestions in documented meetings notes must be aggregated and then evaluated". So this might be a format that works for things like board meetings or I guess parliamentary sessions or court sessions where you have official stenographers and record keepers, but you can't really hold up every random meeting a company has to this standard. But it does seem like it would tend to work better on formalized/standardized meetings.

So if we're talking about trying to handle the case where engineers need to keep on saying "i told you so" maybe something like agile would be a closer fit to this, since you already have formalized meetings at a specific cadence. Then you also have the concept of retrospectives that are supposed to be documenting everyone's suggestions, so then maybe you say that you need to document planning meetings in the same way. So you say that the planning meeting must produce documented notes, with a comprehensive list of everything that was suggested, and then a list of everything that was agreed on. Perhaps giving a formal time and space for such suggestions also helps better surface them outside of snide side conversations. Doesn't cover all cases, but maybe it has potential to fall on the 80 side of 80/20.

Now, if you actually implement it all perfectly, would it actually help improve decision making? Probably? But I'd imagine that you'd then trade off for other things that are more valuable. Personally, my preference tends to be towards getting good people that you trust, having a clear shared vision for the company, then letting them run wild on their own to execute on that vision.

Most studies use very small doses.

In my experience the benefits are with what some would consider "megadoses", in the tens of grams range.

This is what Dr. Barry Sears, who's a specialist in this area, uses with trauma patients. It's extremely effective at reducing inflammation and brain repair.

Unpopular opinion: I'm not convinced of small local businesses. Where I live, it feels like "that shop has always been here, it must remain here" without looking at whether it's really still providing the same service. I believe it's fine for shops to close, others to open, or to reinvent themselves.

There's always the argument "the town won't be the same if they're gone". That's true, but change isn't bad, it's just different.

I don't think it will change much. All high level process engineers will be Chinese in foxcons new plant. Workers will learn a few process but foxconn factories usually have very high level of automation. I don't expect much technology transfer in this.
> I find it amusing that one of their examples of bypassing noise ordinance restrictions is to follow existing infrastructure routes. The irony seems lost on them.

Yeah, I noticed this too in their depiction of a hypothetical Palo Alto vertiport. The caption “high-throughput vertiport with intermodal last-mile connectivity” made me think it would ideally be located by the Caltrain station, but the road in the illustration didn’t look like El Camino and there were no train tracks in sight. I later realized during their “low noise footprint” discussion that they were depicting a vertiport located towards East Palo Alto and using 101 as the flight corridor.

My guess is they recognize the irony but are trying to strike a judicious balance.

They're right to be paranoid. Nintendo is one of the few game companies that's extremely aggressive about protecting their IP (particularly when it comes to emulation and ROMs). They've forced a lot of sites to stop distributing ROMs of games for their consoles and I don't doubt they'd come down with a massive life-ending hammer if they caught whiff of piracy in the Switch emulation scene.

>I have only one question: how much pollution these factory will bring to India?

Largest Indian imports is petroleum and also India has largest petroleum refinieries, removing them will he help pollution.

India should focus on renewables and nuclear power and ban petroleum products before going after Chinese electronics. But I think they'll not do it because it will hurt oil companies which are biggest benefactors of political parties.
This is interesting stuff! It's especially nice to see some more details behind the math -- I did some stuff with bloom filters for work and found that the math didn't always seem to line up with what we'd expect during tests. I wonder if it needs some adjustment...
So this already made the rounds yesterday, but I couldn't find a news source in English when I think it still is newsworthy. The skinny is that for some reason iOS doesn't schedule updates for reported Corona infections. Reportedly, some installations haven't received infection data for up to ten days. I just checked, and my last updates (which I understand are supposed to refresh daily, for every day in the past couple weeks) were days ago. A similar problem also exists or has existed on Android.

I've stopped wearing my WearOS watch and it now serves as a smart clock for notifications on my desk[1] and fitbit or any other heart rate monitor(even Apple watch) hurts me[2]. So even inexpensive smart watches with open-source firmware (detailed below) where heart rate monitor can be disabled would serve my needs going forward.

Shout out to couple of smartwatch projects, which falls inline with the ethos of the author and anyone who agrees with it.

AsteroidOS[1] - open-source linux based smartwatch firmware. Nice UI/UX, Wayland, good number of hardware support including MTK6580 chipset based inexpensive watches. In my tests about a year back, although the watch with AsteroidOS itself was usable, the sync with the android app was unreliable and could be due to android itself or manufacturer's kill-policy.

PineTime[2] - $24.99, completely accessible, several RTOSes being built, Apps in Rust,Python etc.

While a neat trick, there are some caveats. First of all, the is_ascii_branchless can be written in c++ as

return std::all_of(sv.begin(),sv.end(),[](uint8_t c){return c < 128;});

Once you do that, the differences in code complexity between this and the other solutions becomes even more stark.

Second, even the slow case is 2 GB/s. While the principle is helpful, the extra complexity may not be worth it in the vast majority of real life code.
You can decide which bits to set for an input in k^2 time I guess, not k*n time, then set each one with a single memory access.
I'd say it's worth it to use JoyCons even if you're emulating the games on PC. When they're not drifting, they're great controllers (if a bit cramped). I sold my Switch but I do miss the flexibility of holding my hands in whatever lazy position I wanted or using the gyro for aiming.

That said, it's trivial to use any other control or input device. You just might run into issues if a game requires motion control. I'm not sure but you might even get away with using a Wiimote, but I'm not sure what the controller support looks like there.

"Because no swabs are required, and no fancy equipment is needed, the tests are less vulnerable to backlogs"

That, sadly, is nonsense unless you have thousands of technicians available to process the tests. What we have here is a classic latency vs throughput problem. 45 minutes to an answer is a lot better than 24-48 hours which is about the best achievable with the PCR tests. But even if only a third of the 45 minutes is a tech messing with "pipettes, a heating source and an enzyme mixture" and the rest is waiting for reactions at best one tech could do perhaps 30 a day. On the other hand the "fancy equipment" in PCR labs can do thousands of such tests in one go (UW Virology here in Seattle is doing over 5000/day[1]).

Egg-and-chicken debates aside, I can absolutely see this. In any reasonably-sized town or city you'll find a dozen similar establishments a walking distance away. So while you might debate picking between the 3.5 and 4.5-star ones, the restaurant with 1-2 stars is just not going to draw a crowd.
I'd argue that none of those can do both the art and programming side of things as well (for beginners) as flash did

I haven't used RPG Maker in a decade, but when I did you had to import sprites, same with GameMaker. JS doesn't help you with art. Unreal Engine has a basic modeller but you have to use Blender which is quite complex for beginners

>This seems like a great deal for India: threaten a 22% duty, and then you bring in jobs and know-how.

Lots of products have very high duties but you'll not find a single manufacturers of those products within the country.

Those companies simply add import duty to their cost and increase the price of good in local market. This makes products/tool expensive for local people and they are not able to compete globally.

If an America can buy a CNC mill from china duty free and you charge duty which makes $4000 mill cost $7000. Due to higher costs, your local craftman is already rendered uncompetitive in global marketplace

Why not let them buy tools and machines duty free and let them learn skills like CNC machining or metal turning?

Most programmers rarely using office suites and prefer to use plain text editors. This has gone so far that developers prefer a sadistically under-featured file-format (.md) to office files.
In k^2 time, which is maybe faster than running a hash an additional time:

function get_bits(input, hashes, n)
local bits = {}
for i=1,#hashes do
local bit = hashes[i](input) % (n-i+1)
for j=1,i-1 do
if bits[j] <= bit then
bit = bit + 1
end
end
bits[i] = bit
while i > 1 and bits[i] < bits[i-1] do
bits[i], bits[i-1] = bits[i-1], bits[i]
i = i - 1
end
end
return bits
end

There is already real-life intimidation. 2 Seattle Councilmembers who disagreed to vote to defund police to a sufficient degree had protests around the house, and Oakland mayor's house got protested and vandalized for the same crime, voting "wrong". These are just few, very recent examples out of a rich tapestry of everything from rioting with impunity to getting fired for posting a link to a scientific study.

Frankly, if trump goons (and I really detest trump and most of what passes for his policy positions) literally machine-gunned whoever perpetrated the Oakland mayor's house vandalism, it would be super counter-productive, but morally the right thing to do in my book.

Very interesting article, but at the same time it depicts a very sad truth...

[Disclaimer: also not a certified security professional, but I do follow the topic and practice it hands-on from time-to-time...]

However I think there are multiple (sometimes non-overlapping) types of cyber-security professionals / roles:

* the policy maker / enforcer -- which is what some companies want, and what the most well known people out there (including Schneier, Krebs, etc.) are blogging and speaking about; (to put it metaphorically they are the ones in charge of designing an IT "hygiene", and making sure everyone "washes their hands" properly;) :)

* the operations security -- which should make sure systems and networks are well locked down, patches properly installed, watches out for suspicious activity, and if he is capable enough tries to check the boundaries and limits the firms security; this is another role most companies want, what some courses train for, and what usual bloggers write about;

* "applied cryptography / security" developer (for the lack of a better name) -- which (if he knows better) should make sure proper well-known techniques and best practices are used throughout the developed applications, and when necessary (if not already covered by existing solutions) is capable enough to mix cryptographic primitives;

* "high budget zero-day" researcher (also for the lack of a better name) -- which is mostly employed by state level actors to discover zero-day vulnerabilities, and on the other side employed by large corporations (e.g. Google, Microsoft, etc.) to make sure their most valuable systems aren't vulnerable to those types of attacks; these are the guys that come up with Spectre and Meltdown and other very low-level hardware related vulnerabilities;

* (many others that escape me at this moment...)

Each of these roles require some different traits and focus areas, which most of the time aren't strictly related to IT or security; for example:

* the policy maker should be well versed in social sciences and human behavior, as in the end he has to work with people;

* the operations security person should be as capable (if not more) than any of its "normal" peers in all matters of network and systems administration;

* all of them must understand that in the end security is a spectrum (i.e. from air-gapped-system to no-authentication-internet-connected) and it has to take into account a balance between internal cost (development, operations, etc), end-user costs (e.g. how cumbersome is for the end-user to login), risks (e.g. is the data valuable enough to protect it with 2FA), time-to-market, etc.

So in the end I think the underlying problem is that most companies want "one cybersecurity guy", and most candidates see themselves as that "one guy", when in reality there is no real person that can actually fulfill all these roles. Just like nobody wants to hire "a developer", but a "web developer", or an "embedded developer", so should companies specify what kind of security professional they are looking for...

Two Easy Tactics to Eliminate Your Bad Health Habits­
Exactly that, I was surprised to see that looong for loop definition (I'm not using C++ at all) and wanted to see if there's anything else to simplify. First I found for_each then all_of

If anyone is interested, here is simpler version:

bool is_ascii_branchy(const std::string_view v) {
return std::all_of(v.begin(), v.end(), [](auto i) {
return uint8_t(i) < 128;});
}
The issue is one of a philosophical kind.
Just aknowledge that there is a vast gap between acting in self-interest and acting in a philantrophic way.
The big game is played in the minds - this ideal or idea of meritocracy is a way to rule.
It is a plain sophistic ideology (sophists were those greek philosophers whom argued that everything in the outside was a projection of what you have on the inside, for expl. the medieval cosmic view is based on this).
On the other hand we have philosophers which believe the outside is what determines us as beeings and thus it's worth being analized and understood. Archimedes for example was one that promoted this way of thinking.

However, we can all be certain that it's neither just the one nor the other way of making sense of our reality that is absolutely 'right'.
It's most likely a mix of both (or more, love maybe apart) - but by 'believing' that every action has always to be in your very own self interest this may gets you rich but everybody else gets poorer in the process.

I'm going to be honest, this is stuff the ruling class knows and has known for millenials (may even before the greeks wrote it down).
They would not be granted such privileges if they didn't act in a philantrophic way (expl. Gates foundation). People would turn on them in a revolution that would harm anyone more than it would help a single soul. Thusfor the ruling class - through university and religion - gives us this self centered (sophistic) believe shemes so we would controll (ourselfs) one another.

And no, I'm actually not talking about rich people when I talk of the ruling class. What I mean by that are big rulers of land. Bcs. you can have as much money as you want - if you live on a certain soil you will have to obey the ruler in one way or another.
When I looked into quantified self IoT a few years back the monetization of the data as the primary component of the business model was ubiquitous. There was one kickstarter project for an open source wristband but it did not seem to get traction.

Has this changed at all? I love the idea of measuring myself in various ways but I want real-time and private access to my data.
N-O-D-E is a great channel.
What you call underfeatured many would call correctly featured. A more complex format doesn't add value for most use cases, while being harder to reason with and correct issues in.

.md files avoid the copy paste font/size mess by being plain text and rendering in the reader's choice of font. Bold, italics, hyperlinks and such are all explicitly added, easy to Ctrl + F for and aren't hidden behind finicky context menus as in standard word processors.
Equation reading speed should be much slower than explication reading speed, which is in turn normally slower than prose reading speed.

(Compare with reading music: one can derive value from passages embedded in text without being able to sight-read, but one ought to make the effort to play them nevertheless.)
I know just such a store. I looked into opening a competitor, but the margins were extremely ugly and there were other complications. Years later by pure chance I became friends with someone who, another year later, I learned had worked at the store. He confirmed not only what I discovered for myself, but also that this particular store was basically a rich person’s hobby and probably didn’t actually make money.

For some reasons the feds in the 90s were unusually interested in prosecuting psychedelics. I'm of the opinion that all drugs should be legal, but even if I wasn't, I think I would still question why LSD manufacturers were getting such long sentences around that time. Never really made sense to me.
