I think it's a clever play.

It would help address the spyware concern by moving it to a US company, and give them a better foothold in Social Networking than Linked-in provides.

I'd have a few concerns about if MS can keep it growing-

For one, I worry that Microsoft may mismanage it, similar to how they treated Skype.
We saw Yahoo buy many reasonable smaller social networks (Flickr, Delicious, Tumblr) and was never able to make it work.
Microsoft has seemed to get better at acquisions lately though, so they may be able to pull it off.

The other concern is that youth-based social networks tend to have a short half-life; Snap isn't exactly taking over the world anymore.

But personally, I absolutely think it'd be worth the gamble.
The price is relatively low (just over 1 quarter of revenue), and if they can keep it going it's a good hedge against FB, if nothing else.
I've had the EZ for a while now and my only gripe has been how much of a pain it is to travel with. The folding and carrying case made this an instant buy for me.

"serverless" is used to describe a new type of cloud infrastructure you can run your apps (Django, Flask, Express) so that they scale automatically and charge only per request, never for idle, at ~$0.000001 per request.

The candid reason developers and Fortune 500s use serverless cloud infrastructure is because they want to build more and manage less.

The "Serverless Framework" is a developer tool that helps developers deploy their apps to serverless cloud infrastructure, without having to be an expert in that type of infrastructure. It makes it easy for developers to deploy Django, Flask, Express apps so that they auto-scale and pay only per request, never for idle.

Here is how you can deploy Express.js in seconds to serverless infrastructure:

I agree with you that there was really great work done at BuzzFeed News and find people's dismissiveness to be based on unfamiliarity with a lot of what they've done.

> I rather give my mind space to ads that are relevant to me than watch an ad that I have absolutely no interest in!

I don't understand this attitude. Do you like being advertised to? I don't. I find advertising repugnant, and I'd much rather see ads that are irrelevant to me because they're easier to ignore and I'm less likely to be affected by them.

With targeted ads I'm at risk of being influenced. I don't want to be influenced by ads.
Could it be because some loopholes hiding or deducting funds became less lucrative?

Yes, primarily bandwidth--so that 5G will likely be a legitimate alternative to wired in some areas. And there's a pretty big build-out in general going on around 5G so maybe coverage gets better.

But you're right. A lot of places that are pretty patchy or non-existent today for cell service, especially 4G, will likely have the same problem even after 5G rolls out.

Military + industrial + aviation.

The target market is not elderly people retired to cabins in the woods. The antenna costs for individual users would be prohibitive (10s of thousands). SpaceX is aiming for military/government first, then fixed-point industrial (oil rigs, mining camps, large ships) and then aviation (internet onboard airliners). That's the priority structure.

Another angle is to look at the orbital inclinations to see which customers Musk is targeting. At the moment he isn't sending sats further north than London (+/-51*). That suggests their first/primary/target market doesn't exist north of London. It looks like they are going after either the military drone or luxury aviation consumers. I don't see communities in Canada's north getting connected anytime soon.
I've put together a short curriculum to become a better 1:1 communicator.

Why? My 'right' ideas are often ignored by family and colleagues. Later, those same people will put the same ideas into practice after hearing them from another source.

At first I thought it was my audiences fault: they were failing to pay attention; that my ideas were too early to be recognized as right; or even that the repetition of the idea was required to be seen as right.

Gradually, I realized I am not being persuasive when I present my ideas. I went on a search for ways I could improve my persuasiveness in 1:1 communication.
Since the code of GTP-3 is behind closed doors, can we re-purpose GPT-2, to create a slightly less efficient clone?
I went to school part-time and intermittently while very ill and homeschooling my special-needs sons. I also completed a couple of different certificate programs with a compressed scheduled, one in a Summer Camp format where you completed a year-long certificate program in two months, and the other was a month of going to school eight hours a day on my employer's dime when I got a corporate job.

I wrapped up an Associate's with two online classes and testing out of some other things. I then enrolled in an online bachelor's, which was never completed because divorce and a serious, lengthy medical crisis got in the way. I then did GIS school one summer and got a corporate job and they put me through a certificate program and additional training for my entry-level job.

You can look into testing out of some things. This is cheaper and less of a time commitment. You can do self study to help prepare for such tests.

You may be able to get some credits for other things. There are books on how to try to do this. If you have military experience, most American colleges will automatically credit you for some of your military training and schools (like you will generally be exempt from taking any phys ed classes).

Online classes can also help make things work. I did sometimes take classes in person and the commute to class was a huge and burdensome time commitment. When I took classes online, there was no commute and that time went into studying instead.

If you do take classes in person, you can reduce the time burden by choosing a compressed schedule. Sometimes the same class is offered on either a schedule of three one hour classes a week or two 90 minute meetings a week. The class with two 90 minute meetings will save you commute time to the college, which can be substantial. (For me, the college in question was like 30 or 45 minutes away, even though it was in the same city I was in. This added up to an hour to 90 minutes saved per week to go with the compressed scheduled.)
Iridium Pilot already exists, albeit it's only 134 kbps (although maybe it's already been upgraded to 1 Mbps? I'm not sure). VSAT service may also work (although that might be spotty in the middle of the ocean).
I disagree with your disagreement.

You can also phrase brain surgery and movie watching as "modifying the inner thought processes of the subject", and as such there isn't a clear distinction.

I think using the term "Florida Man" is a meme now and probably carries more weight than using the accused's actual name.

From the wikipedia article:

That's because the tech industry doesn't really care about their users' privacy. It does care very much about profits, however.
But you can already map the keyboard's keys to anything you want, no need to map twice.
This is true and fair. However ARM does a _lot_ of ecosystem open source support for their ISAs.
Even if it takes over the industry (I can actually imagine this happening), my original point still holds: the educated/experienced listener will notice and will care. For some people at least, music or art in general will always be an existential form of human expression, not some random exchangable consumer product.

> There could be a viable Open Source driver for most of their GPUs tomorrow if they changed some licensing

I always just assumed that interfacing proprietary IP with the GPL is a tricky legal business. One slip, and all your IP becomes open source.

Do you have a source explaining what licensing changes they would have to make and what impact would that have for Linux and Nvidia ? I'd like to read that.
And some trackers have already sidestepped that and switched to proxying requests server side.

The only reason anyone is using CNAMEs is because pihole and NextDNS are of negligible adoption, and adding a CNAME is super easy to do. Once CNAME blocking is more prevalent, it will become mainstream to proxy tracking requests as well.

Isabel Maxwell: Israel’s “Back Door” into Silicon Valley
This book is a fun read and goes a long way toward explaining why so much of today’s music is crap. It’s the difference between mass production and craftsmanship - and mass produced music just isn’t very good. Not to me anyway.
It's not that ByteDance, owners of TikTok, are especially state-sponsored (though given the treasure trove of user data they're sitting on, especial isn't a stretch of the imagination): all Chinese corporations are either actively overseen by a CCP committee or potentials to be.

See https://thediplomat.com/2019/12/politics-in-the-boardroom-th...
Does China really identify as "a country that views the US as its enemy (politically, economically, philosophically)" or is that just a projection of how the US feels about China?
My guess is that things have only changed for the mega-stars. Household names that are in the public consciousness need to work to stay at that level, and keep people hyped about their work. I think those people are likely already making significant concessions in their work for this, so it's not like it affects them that much.

Does it really matter for artists that aren't being played multiple times a day on iHeartMedia/Clear Channel radio stations already if they follow this model? I doubt it, unless their goal is more about fame than art, in which case the question answers itself.
Artists/creators should be able to determine what they want to charge for streamed songs.
FWIW, the picture of that black hole that was taken last year was the product of a worldwide cooperation of observatories, combining the received signals with an insanely complex computation.
Given the geopolitical/geoeconomic struggle between the US and China i wouldn't be surprised if China will pivot into RISC-V arch.

And given that Nvidia is a US company, that makes them quiet toxic for a Chinese company to source from.
it's a problem now, yet it will only get worse at the entire Starlink fleet is fully deployed. There's only a few hundred of the thousands from Starlink alone. It will be impossible to get a single clean image. It's not the small problem you seem to suggest
yes, I'm also interested in use cases for the same.
This is interesting.

I have an ergodox, well two of them, and I think this does improve on the design. I read a user comment somewhere that said that the ergodox seems like the design got solidified when there were still improvements to be made, and for me that has been true.

Let's talk about some changes they made that I really like:

* The left side is the primary. If I ever want half a keyboard, I'll want just the left side. On the ergodox, the right side is the primary side.

* It's thinner. The bulkiness of the ergodox ez makes it look cheap, which it very much is not.

* The tilting of the thumb cluster might make that 3rd key accessible to me. On my ergodox, my thumbs can only operate two of the buttons.

* They tried a new layout on the thumb cluster.

Some other thoughts I have:

* I find it strange that the default layouts for both keyboards split the arrow keys. Some games use the arrows for moving the viewport, and I find split arrow keys unworkable for that.

* The rotating hinge for the thumb cluster is neat, but what about just moving them closer? The keyboardio Model 01 manages to get 5 workable thumb buttons with this. But it did sacrifice the rows beneath zxc and ,./ Maybe that is inevitable.

* The site is responsive, loaded fairly fast (550ms, which is good considering I'm on my work VPN. HN takes 250ms), and is smaller than I expected considering all the images (1.6MB).

* I find it hard to come up with uses for the fancier things the keyboard firmware can do (eg dual purpose modifier keys, space cadet shift, macros etc).

* EDIT: I have been curious if a design where the thumb buttons push inward is workable. That direction seems more suitable to the thumb. Again, I think the issue is being able to fit the buttons without affecting the keys for the fingers.

Still, I'd probably give this a try if I needed a new keyboard.
>I'm happy (in this case) for them to track me because it's much much, better than the alternative.

You're acting like there is only one alternative, but what about blocking ads? That's win-win for everyone but the advertiser. And really that makes it win-win-win, unless you work in advertising or for Facebook/Google.
Frankly, I don't take "a teenager did it" as an extra mark against hacked systems any more. It's the details that matter - the difference between one teenager and multiple adults being able to hack something is not large unless the context is government hacking.
I concur, at most state and data should be related is by viewing incoming data as your initial state.

Data is immutable.
I had a slightly different experience. I don't like Bluetooth (too much fiddliness, especially when batteries are running low, and I'm always at my desk so I could just use a cable), and I don't like the ortholinear layout, I think it's too much hassle for no benefit at all.

Cranes Lift More Than Their Weight in the World of Shipping and Construction
Yes, I know. That's why I added the qualifier I did: I'm aware that not stating I did this decades ago could be misconstrued as saying "You fools just need to live at home and go to the local college. Problem solved!"

I'm not interested in being thusly misconstrued.
I think the real value of a university is the community. What you're describing is basically a new textbook. It doesn't replace the people you interact with. Going to a great college doesn't mean great classes with awesome course material. It's other classmates you study with, it's the TAs that hold office hours, the professors too, sometimes.
That's true - but where do you put the function? In a complex system I can end up with loads of these totalling functions scattered about. I might have gross and net versions of the total and, given human nature, they get created near the use of them. The variants then get duplicated.
The objects give you a modular structure which means you can see the interface.There is a disconnect when you have to shift to the object - but you can also see when to refactor.
Craft unions, like in construction, are more like guilds than the industrial unions. You must qualify in one way or another to be a union member before you can get hired by a union company.

But in an industrial union, as an example get hired by an automaker with a UAW contract (and not in a so called right to work state), you are a UAW member.
I'll add that my main hope is that the scale required for launching large satellite constellations will also make it cheaper to launch space-based telescopes, but it's far from clear that would be a major benefit (after all, launch costs will probably be on the order of 1% of the JWST's total ~$10B cost).

There is a lot that is problematic with OO, especially if it is adhered to with dogma. The worst idea and the one I've experienced most issue with, is the `extends` keyword in Java, and more generally, the concept of inheritance.

Inheritance is terribly overused, and tends to lead to code spaghetti and testing nightmares. Hierarchy is a mental trick we pull on ourselves to make sense of the world, but it rarely works out nicely in systems.

How many headlines about non-public figures have you seen that include someone's name?

Pure functional languages are capable of this, although they likely aren't modeling it as you envision. Pure record constructors let you do perform arbitrary mutation on the stack (e.g. calling other functions to build field values), but once the constructor is called the returned reference is immutable.

This is likely cleaner than sharing a reference which is sometimes mutable and sometimes not. Rust of course allows for both mutable and immutable borrows, and that's a very powerful tool but it'd be complex if all you needed was field initialization.

The consensus across languages that's emerged is that initialization shouldn't be a group effort, with references escaping in various stages of partial initialization. Be it RAII in C++ or functional record constructors, the common theme is that initialization should be a single operation that can succeed or fail as a whole.

You do need an ARM processor, though. It's fantastic to be able to remap the keys to anything you like. I didn't think I'd need it until I tried it, but now I can't live without it.

I wonder if you could put an Arduino into the MS Sculpt and get the best of both worlds. Or maybe you could make an Arduino with a USB port and just have it remap keys on the fly.
That didn't require a mastermind. Twitter crew were lucky this ended the way that it did. It could have been much worse.
> even though a good relationship is more satisfying than any job.

Um, citation needed. Also relevant, "Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

If you love your job, it can bring you happiness and success. Look at jobs like being a doctor where you get to help people. Even though many doctors have plenty of money to retire, they tend to keep working and helping people because many times they just really enjoy it!

This also misses out on all the problems of a relationship, like stress, cheating, money, fighting, etc. If relationships are so great, why do so many marriages end in divorce? (isn't that like "quitting" your "job"?)

Maybe I'm just a success addict, but if it's something I care about, then I'm going to go for it. And I try to keep what I measure to be how useful I am to others, what I can bring to the table, rather than dollars or title.

Of course if you constantly strive for the things you don't really want, you can stress yourself out trying, then stress yourself out failing, or stress yourself out being there. But the same could be said of a relationship with the wrong person. Coming from a broken home, I wish I could explain how easy it is to see people in broken relationships that make them unhappy, but also unable to get off the "relationship treadmill". Pick the right people and the right things!
>If that person hears that they have been forgiven

Because its something private with yourself, I dont see it necessary as something to share for it to happen. Forgiving someone without telling them will change your interactions with them, but you dont need to tell them youve done so for it to be forgiveness.
