At a 50% success rate you go away to federal jail for a couple of years. How many people are willing to throw away their lives for a few extra votes? That doesn't make sense to me.
Essay by Isaac Asimov considering viable chemistries for life: "Not as we know it. The chemistry of life"

Overlays implied a specific kind of resource management about keeping unused code on the disk and loading it on demand. Doing that required help from linker so they were mostly implemented by the language like Turbo Pascal/Turbo C's "FBOV" overlays.

You could also keep resources in overlays too but they didn't have a resource management mechanism if I recall correctly. You had to implement it yourself.

Just want to say that this is an incredibly difficult job environment - so do not take any lack of progress personally. Persevere and follow up with people even more often than usual - interviewers / HR departments are stretched thin so somethings things might be held up for reasons that have nothing to do with you. Just keep on plugging on, wishing you the best!

Houseparty is focused on social consumers and maxes out at 8 people. We are focused on networking and events that would normally require a bar or banquet hall, and right now we max out at 35. Houseparty might work best for small groups, and we find most people use it once and leave. With Rally we see people coming back at least weekly for events on our platform.
Friendly reminder that for any given single availability zone, the SLA that AWS provides is one single nine. That means that they expect that availability zone to fail 10% of the time, or 6 minutes every hour. this very high failure rate comes up solutely for free, no need for a special region. Therefore, implementing a cross availability zone application that logs when packets are dropped should give you some idea of how your application handles failure.

Why would there be any more or less supply than what's available via uber or lyft and why would the app be at fault when decisions are made by the driver? Now there are more choices you can be your own contractor or work for uber/lyft as an employee. People who have older cars and can charge less may drive down prices but I think there will always be a market for being driven in newer cars, suv's, luxury cars, etc. You can schedule rides ahead of time and set contract breakage penalties. All these can be suggested by the app but again it's up to the final decision made between the customer and driver.
Okay I'll bite - I have problems with this line of thinking.

You're right that you'll never be able to cover 100% of all cases, but using that logic, your specs will never test 100% of scenarios, so you shouldn't write specs.

I think the problem is you assumed it was "a magical box that people can rely to cover 100% of test cases of".

That's a poor leap. It's clearly not. It's a good system to test a set of network failures at varying degrees. Just like any engineered system, it needs to be documented what it can and cannot do.

I also eagerly await my do it all, 100% magic box.

Uh, I'm gonna challenge you to give a source on that. Your comment sounds extremely biased towards React and dismissive towards Angular. None of those are dying out, I wouldn't we even say they compete directly.
> it would be ~40% of the quarterly profit

Another way to look at it is as just the cost to make that remaining profit, and that the cost has been externalized so far.

If people had utterly insisted on decent customer support from day one, companies like Google would have found a way to grow as big as they can while still providing support.
No idea.

But article is a meandering mess on serious incidents and a serious topic that is more news.

I'd say it was only being up-voted from the title rather than people actually reading it.

A year ago it might have been a serious discussion, but to me when a lot of people are already protesting on the streets to abolish the police I don't think this topic which has been discussed and reported in the past can be discussed in a constructive way.

The biggest value my UPS gave was keeping the home broadband running (modem & wifi) in a sustained black-out. It impressed everyone a lot, except me.

"for each customer in customers"

I don't think any scheme that requires people to be willing to commit felony fraud en masse is very likely. They would need to open other people's mail, forge their signature (on my ballot it clearly states that you will go to jail for this) and send it back in. They would need to risk all of that for one extra vote since they are only accidentally receiving an extra ballot.

We also don't need to sit around speculating about this because the data we have on voter fraud already tells us that it's incredibly rare.

What we should focus on is the 1 in 10 voters here who had a ballot rejected for primarily UX reasons that could be fixed. That's a problem which is supported by facts and could be fixed. Instead the current administration is gutting the USPS and making voting even more difficult in the middle of a pandemic. My ballot application is already taking twice as long to get in as it did last year. How is that OK?
Hehehe the old AOT vs JIT debate.

JITs can do great optimizations in theory. But in practice they have only so much time to do optimizations.

And startup time, binary distribution size, memory footprint matter too.

Sorry, should have specified. I'm actually in the US, specifically California.
There doesn't need to be. I feel like we're failing to recognize that this is a soft solution, not a tech solution. The signature is there so that you go to jail for felony fraud if you forge it. Then with simple detection schemes the cost of trying compared to the benefit of like one extra vote doesn't make sense.
> I don't believe the state is requiring Uber to pay hourly and Uber almost certainly doesn't want to pay people hourly either so none of this is relevant.

Pay may be calculated based on metrics other than time, but must be at least the minimum wage, which is based on time at work. For employees, if you want to pay on trips/widgets/sales/whatever, you have to also track hours. So, yes, the state is requiring Uber to pay hourly.

Uber may allow flexibility of when you're on the clock, though they won't have to, but you can bet they'll require a certain amount of productivity.

> and no one seems to be able to explain to me why it's not basically just a wiki

That's actually precisely what it is for me. It's just an easy to use, lightweight, wiki that uses markdown and has backlinks. Your pages are stored in regular old markdown files, so you can do whatever you want for syncing if that matters.

If I weren't using Obsidian I'd probably be using a lightweight note taking app like Bear, or maybe a personal Wiki. It just feels like a good mix of the two that works for me though.

"Life" could also be AI machines.

If we seeded a planet with sufficiently advanced robots, that can mine and build and learn and make copies of themselves on their own, and a few centuries later they have a civilization, does it matter what they're made of?

For all intents and purposes, it would be life.

Perhaps at some point we should/will have to stop saying "life" at some point and use terms like "agent" instead, to include disembodied intelligences shaping the universe through their decisions and stuff like that. :)
driving is one of the most dangerous things you can do nowadays. most Uber drivers have to support themselves and possibly others. Many drivers can’t afford private healthcare so in the case of an accident it would really suck for them and their family.

Maybe they’re not losing their fingers in factory machines like child laborers are but I think they deserve employer provided healthcare at the very least.

> I wonder that most consumer SSDs are aimed to power loss safe (by implementing like CoW?) even without capacitor but I don't know the truth.

The flash translation layer in a SSD looks a lot like a journalling or log-structured filesystem, and without power loss protection capacitors you get similar data integrity guarantees: unexpected power loss may mean loss of recently written data (still in the drive's write buffers, and maybe stuff in partially-written NAND pages), but shouldn't cause catastrophic loss of data. You generally have more data at risk from being buffered in main system RAM by the OS than you do from the volatile/unprotected buffers in the SSD itself.

The SSD should never be erasing a block as part of a garbage collection process until the live data from that block has been committed to a new block.
There's no "opinion" about it. There are fairly clear-cut rules that are applied under California law: https://www.californiaemploymentlawreport.com/2019/03/unders...
Even aside from the fee, there's the time involved, which is an indirect burden on many people.

For whatever historical reason, we've entrusted the DMV with validating everyone's identity. The one which is open 9-4 M-F in the best conditions, and has been basically shuttered since Coronavirus.

In some states, you can go to 'third-party offices' which are privately run and offer longer hours, but it's still a several hour endeavour (and then you're paying $30 extra for their services).
Well, you're not driving off the "black bits". There's still plenty of "black bits" (unburned carbon and high-carbon compounds) in the interior. It's just that 1. you really really want to wait until the lighter fluid is burned off and 2. the whole surface hasn't started burning until the whole surface has started generating white ash. In the case of charcoal with igniter integrated in the outer layer ("match light" charcoal), I would guess you want to burn off that outer igniter layer.

As a young boy scout of 12 or so, I ate some pork that my patrol and I had cooked over charcoal before all of the lighter fluid had burned off. It tasted like lighter fluid smells. We never made that mistake again.

Pro tip from 12 year-old me: styrofoam cooler lids make great fans to speed the progression of the reaction.

Pro tip 2 from 12 year-old me: don't get the lid too close to the charcoal, or it will melt. Also, wet wool finger mittens can cook and become brittle far from a wet wood fire, because the fire gets very hot when you blow on it to keep it from going out and very cool when you go to check the temperature near your mittens.

The question is can life arise in such an environment, or only migrate to one.

People are taking the parent comment very seriously.
Why doesn't Uber just let Californian drivers set their own rates? Would it really be such a huge deal to their business model if drivers could set their own price per mile, or similar? Uber still takes a percentage cut and I assume the free market cost would work out to be in the same ballpark as Uber's pricing model.
Not a comedy, maybe, but uproarious at times for sure.

It's the same in the Philippines and other developing countries run by corrupt trapo ("filthy rags") politicians. If you go down to the LTO (Land Transportation Office) to get your driver's license, the entrance is crowded with "fixers" who, for a fee of course, will take care of your license for you and even take the driving test for you. There is no enforcement in terms of making the applicant take the driving test themselves, so guess what? For a fee you don't have to prove you can drive or even know the rules of the road. You'll probably get your license in a hour or so. If you insist on doing it yourself and making an end run around this "system", it might take days to a week to get your license. The resulting conditions on traffic and accident rates are exactly what you might expect. Nobody cares.

If your org is small, you can run a report to see who hasn't enabled 2FA and then yell at them. They made it better for new users a while ago (you can now configure a grace perioid), but I don't know/remember if this helps for existing users. If you've got users you can't cutoff who don't setup 2fa, then you need to make an exception group. You can run automation to send nag emails if there's people in it, etc.

But then don't merge with another company with g suite, cause merging accounts isn't supported and you'll have a mess.
In the US, and more specifically California?

Absolutely they can. California, like almost all states in the US, is an “at-will” employment state.

None of these things are required under employment law at all. Can I ask where you found this wildly false information? Do you happen to live outside the US?

Nowhere in California labor law does it prevent people from taking vacations or anything else you mentioned if they are an employee.

This was the first play I ever read for fun (instead of for a class). I fell in love with it, and over the years I've re-read it several times. I don't know what it was -- it just bit me, somehow.

Some theater company was performing it here in the bay area not too long ago, but at the time I was broke (and too old for the cheap "We must find a way to get young people to watch theater" tickets). Now I could afford it! But I guess there's not a lot of live theater going on at the moment...
Nah, dude. The only reason you think there’s “no nuance” is because you haven’t invested the time to learn and research male fashion. And that’s OK! Fashion and being stylish is a hobby like that requires time, energy and money. Not everyone has those or wants to spend them on fashion.
I'm curious why you decided to target businesses instead of people.

In other words, the pitch on your site doesn't sound like a place I'd go as a normal person to have a party with some friends. It sounds like a service a company pays for to host branded events.

Targeting everyone seems like the explosive growth trajectory where as targeting businesses does not, at least to me. If some venue uses this they'd advertise themselves, not you?

I get that I'm clueless about this topic so I'm not claiming to be right. Just curious. I get that business customers pay but the YC way seems to be growth first?
Your hypothetical isn't even worth responding to, given that your only basis for proposing it is those same three people.
Yep. And isolated functions are a solution, but sometimes it just makes way more sense for that function to be a method of a class. And for the function component to be a class component. I think there's space for both types of components, and I just hope that class components don't become deprecated.
