At first thought, a hemoglobin protein loaded up with CO molecules should have slightly less mass than an oxygenated hemoglobin complex, which could... theoretically... be measured, maybe with Raman spectroscopy.

That effect is going to be tiny, though. Wikipedia is telling me a hemoglobin tetramer masses "about" 64,000 daltons, so a complex loaded up with 4CO will mass 64,111 vs 64,127 amu. 0.024% difference.
> Prices in the art world are presently distorted because of astonishing levels of wealth concentration.

I’ve heard two different art dealers on different continents (SF and London) both insist independently that the primary reason for high art prices is that art is a great way to bribe the owner, or to launder money, or both. (Similar to former politicians being paid millions for a “speech” in a foreign country).

I used Twilio as my main phone number for quite a few years. Most recently, I used them in combination with 3CX. It was quite alright for voice but was never able to text message properly from my cellular phone. In the end, I ported the number out to a small cellular phone company.
I still have an offshore number that my family can call and which is routed to my cellphone.
> disenfranchised

India with a 900 million eligible voters in 2019 elections had the biggest turnout - 67%. Aka over 600 million votes were cast and counted. They have strict voter ID laws. Despite having a large disenfranchised population.

This is just a talking point without any basis in facts.
Let him who crawls enamour'd of decay,
Cling to his couch, and sicken years away:
Heave his thick breath, and shake his palsied head;

While gasp by gasp he falters forth his soul,
Ours with one pang - one bound - escapes control.

That's a good point about testing. I think the key point is where the testing is happening. I'm sure the UPS (and other power equipment) is tested by the manufacturer for many different failure scenarios. The issue is that to the end user, the response is often surprising. So I'm sure to the APC engineer, having the unit shut down when the battery fails (according to some metric) but while there is still mains power available is something that they tested. But the consumer hasn't tested a battery failure, and in fact it may be difficult to test the exact failure mode (low voltage etc) without access to some spare, old, batteries. So when it happens and you're surprised and you call the manufacturer, they (almost always) will say that it operated according to how it was designed and tested. It just didn't do what you wanted or expected. At least that was always my experience doing a post mortem on a datacentre outage.

If you are interested in using a VOIP for a landline, that you get either a dedicated phone like a Cisco IP phone or something like an obihai ATA. Once you get it set up, it will just work. For mobile, you can just add a VOIP number as a separate provider in an Android phone and just select the line as needed. Calls coming in will ring your phone as normal and you can make outbound calls by switching the number in the phone app. No secondary app needed.
> Predictable performance - this will always be not only implementation-dependent but data-dependent as well

This immediately jumped out at me from the parent comment. It would be entirely possible to implement a query language where you specify a plan for your query. But then you’d immediately lose the “better than SQL” competition, because your complexity and maintainability problems would skyrocket.

I’ve had to deal with this problem as an Oracle DBA, and it’s a complete nightmare. It starts with a statistics refresh ruining a couple of execution plans, so you start specifying them manually with the plan manager. Then it gets worse over time, because stats refreshes become a big risk and you don’t want to do them anymore. Eventually you get to the point where you pretty much only run verified plans. Then your verified plans slowly degrade overtime, because the underlying cardinality of every table is constantly changing. You’ve replaced the query optimiser with yourself, which is not only tedious work, but it’s simply not possible to do the job as well as any mainstream DB engine could.
You also need to consider that the people with the skills to commit most cybercrime are also likely to be working in roles where working from home is suitable. It's the small businesses, retail/service workers and blue collar areas that are being hit the hardest with unemployment due to covid.

It seems he means in terms of networking as in the prior comment:
"I was particularly impressed by how you could set up “global” routing, which means load balancing against resources that run in multiple Google regions"

GCP has a global networking plane, so in a single GCP project you can have resources and networking configured together from every region/AZ around the world. In AWS (which I don't use so don't quote me, and please correct me) regions are very separate from each other. You would need to create separate accounts for resources in different regions and then configure the networking between them.
We "use" traffic director at work. We thought we'd be able to use it for service discovery across our mesh, but it does way more than that in problematic ways that leak internal google abstractions :<

I asked one thing of the product team (roughly), "we like the bits where it tells envoy the nodes that are running the service, and what zones they are in. we don't like all the other weighting things you try and do to act like the google load balancer."

More in-depth we we've had traffic director direct traffic to instances within a specific zone by weighing that zone higher before instances in that zone would even start up, causing service degradation.

We considered writing our own XDS proxy which would run as a sidecar to envoy, connecting to traffic director and stripping all the weights.

After some back and forth with the TD team, we came up with a solution to instead fool it into not weighing things by setting the target CPU utilization of our backends to 1%...

I find there's four monthly salary numbers in my city: 2500 for junior, 4000 for not junior, 10000 for a senior, 20000 for a 10x.

As soon as you ask for something in the higher tier, the expectations change. If desperate for a job, you can ask for a lower tier, something like 3800 or 9400. The higher your tier, the more people have to approve the salary, the more complex the process is, and the higher their expectations before they fire you. I got my current job asking for a lower tier, and they hired me 12 hours after the interview.

Benefits are much more complex but usually non-negotiable with recruiters. Whatever benefits is usually not worth the salary change. I normally care about things like no open office over insurance, or having a good keyboard and work chair over gym plans. I've seen drastic changes like $2000 salary drop in exchange for $50 in parking benefits, so they're usually not worth bothering with.

> The claim isn’t that brakes and tires contribute the most pollutants, but the most particulate pollutants.

Yes, but that's the "spin", the gaslighting. "Hey, don't look at the huge amount of other pollution our gas vehicles produce, instead look at this small portion where we are not the main villain. Repeat after me: Baaaad break pads, baaad!!" Fossil fuel industry is fighting for their survival. Even if I agree with the numbers and the research, I can't agree that we should focus on this. The greenhouse gases pollution is a much bigger problem, EVs solve that, so if their break pads still produce the same amount of particulates, what does it matter? Don't let them get away with "see those EVs are not as good as you were told".

The sheer amounts of non-factual talking points being spouted on this voter ID issue is outstanding. It's like people treat us minorities and poor people as some dumb and incapable population who can't even get a single ID for voting. I come from a country with over 900 million eligible voters where 600 million votes were cast and counted all with strict VOTER ID.

People keep buying into this nonsensical argument about voter id suppressing poor people, minorities etc but all they do is patronize and virtue signal. Why don't you admit the real reason - that Democrats won't be able to cheat if there were voter ID? Just like now they are trying to even remove signature verification from the mail in votes. It's all for cheating to gain as much power while calling the other side names. It's so obvious but people keep lying.

But do we really know enough to assume that's only way?

I've never heard anybody in the sciences make that assumption. It's just that other biochemistries are speculative at best. Searching for this stuff is time- and resource-intensive, so naturally we look for the sort of life in which we have some expertise.

And to be fair, we are not exclusively looking for Earth-like biological markers. Lots of people looking out for signs of Dyson spheres or other biology-agnostic possible signs of life.
I didn't assume it, that's why I googled the acronym first, but I found only a mocking UD entry, so I asked.

> Your career and compensation level is his lowest priority.

What one recruiter (a good friend) told me is that I should just put a high number, because he charges commission based on the salary offered.

Also negotiable means they have to negotiate. Expect it to be 10% lower than the offered number. I've had someone negotiate as far as 33% when the offer was already very low but that kind of low balling destroys trust.
Love Hard: Mark Brand Interview
I consider PC a wonder material yet I went back to 1.7 AR coated glass (higher than that it's a bit overkill unless you really need it IMO). It's crisper, actually cheaper, heat resistant and virtually scratch proof if you clean it properly. It's heavier but I'm not going back to finding pinpricks after bouts of wind and all the extra care. The thing about glass is that it can shatter upon impact, plastic lenses won't but basically get ruined all the same in my experience.
Nothing precludes contractors having labor protections either.
The point is that you break the process into two pieces:

1) Key exchange is mediated, encrypted and authenticated by the cloud.

2) Command exchange is always encrypted and uses the already exchanged keys between the phone and lock. The commands may or may not go through the cloud as an intermediary.

> It's not that easy: Now the lock doesn't work when either your phone or your lock has no internet connection, or the cloud is down.

I don't find the requirement for the pairing process to be cloud mediated to be very onerous. After the pairing process, you can decide if the reliability requires the lock to operate if the cloud is offline.

And you probably need at least intermittent internet connectivity or you can never revoke access.

> And you need to use a phone that is manufactured by the same company as the lock?

It's called an app. And generally, yes, the manufacturer makes you use their app to open the lock.

> I'd say there are better ways to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks during set-up, which are IMO not really a problem anyway.

I don't agree. The problem is that pairing is ALWAYS annoying and nobody wants to put a button on the lock to change its mode (or want to be able to automate the addition of people to the lock control). An attacker being able to arbitrarily activate the pairing process locally gives a much bigger attack surface--forcing this process to involve the cloud cuts that surface down significantly.

> But now you're doing public key exchange which you wanted to avoid, why then involve the cloud at all?

It's not a public key exchange. It's a private, encrypted key exchange with keys that got mediated by the cloud. That's a much harder system to attack from the point of view of an attacker.
