Yes, I often wonder about two things:

1) How much is the actual insurance rate for such a guarantee?

2) Which kinds of checks the insurance provider makes on the security of the setup, I mean in a much more common car theft case the insurance provider requires that the user has not left the keys in the car and that the car was locked (evidently balancing the risk against the "normal" provisions the car manufacturer has implemented and on "correct standard procedures" by the final user).

Speaking on this topic, is there any efficient way to figure out which foods bother you? Because sometimes I get headaches/digestive issues, but meals are typically so complicated and vary so much that its uncertain what caused the problem. I wish there was like a documented "top 10" or even a "top 100" common bad food reactions. Testing ingredients one by one seems ... tedious.

One of the major weaknesses of fighter aircraft is the pilot. Not their skills or abilities: the requirement for a soft, squishy human that deforms under G forces to pilot the thing is a disadvantage. The person in the cockpit is the most breakable part of the system. Everything else on the jet is capable of withstanding far more material strain.

Just being able to replace a human-driven fighter jet with one that is piloted by an AI - even a comparatively dumb one - would be an advantage for fighters. The AI driven jet would be more maneuverable straight out of the gate.

Isn't this kind of orthogonal to the software you choose to use? Those issues are a factor of public vs. private Slacks or email lists. Internal email isn't just dogs with internet connections, and big public Slack servers may just be 3 people with hundreds of alts and bots for all you know. (Hyperbolizing, but you get the idea.)
Also could be "drovosek". But you need to understand that GRU officers are so obsessed with America that they practice their English all the time and their Russian becomes neglected because of that.

Yep, dead on. Slack isn't the cause, it's a symptom. I worked at a company that adopted HipChat, and then Slack, very early. There was never any of this kind of drama. People were largely professional, aside from some goofing off in team chat.

My current company is full of "histrionics and complaining". It is almost entirely (but not completely) kids who would have been too young to be in software 7 years ago. The cause of this, in my experience, is a generational culture shift that seems to have done away with the common etiquette of keeping politics and agitation away from work.

Which Android phones can safely be rooted these days, if any?

Everytime one of my friends says they rooted their phone, I ask them how. And the answer is always "I was on some website, downloaded some binary and executed it". So as I understand it, they make themselfes completely vurnurable to somebody from the internet who made that root binary.
I imagine execution order/consistency is very valuable for 4X games, and most of the time, results are dependent on each other (who wins a battle may depend on the current status of an empire, which is dependent on the outcome of various planet level actions, for example). It'd probably be a very different game to have each action be stateless, could be a cool exercise though

But that's the same as with the Titanic disaster. There was an incredible amount of things that came together, flawed design, procedures not followed, a spring tide, warnings ignored, until the iceberg hit the ship.

Here a list (and it is probably not exhaustive):

https://www.nbcnews.com/sciencemain/10-causes-titanic-traged...

The logical consequence is that with overwhelming probability, for this big disaster that happened with the 737 Max, a whole number of disasters were narrowly avoided because one of these many requirements for the fatal failure was missing. And theses near misses were not reported, which comes back to a deficient safety culture.

But did the bank follow your direction in making the payment, or did they not follow your direction in making the payment. that makes all of the difference.
A few things would help

* Options should not have a 3 month expiration after a person leaves the company. Anything vested should be exercisable 10
years after they were granted no matter what.

* Give people a starting bonus for early exercise

* Allow sales of exercised shares on secondary markets, or guarantee in writing X shares will be purchasable by your investor pool so some of the equity could be gained

While your story might be great and fair, there are far too many stories of useless stock options in the world for many people to take a huge risk like this. Between that and the average age of companies going public trending up, it feels like a bad trade off. Stock Options don't pay mortgages.
Took me a while to get this one — so people from communist China don’t cover their origins, for they’re from a completely isolate culture or being bold in a way, or whatever, and put Chinese readme high up and front, or talk in clearly Chinese grammar, whereas other non-European devs tries to stay under the radar and blend in as a generic non-native English speaker.

> So, let's say you're bootstrapping a new business and earning 1500€/month as a solo operator with no employees. How much does the overhead of the endeavor cost you?

If you are earning 1500€ per month you can just be a "micro-company" (this works up to 75k€ per year of gross income).
You'll get taxed roughly 25% on that income, and have a fixed fee depending on the city you live - for me it's around 400€ / year for instance. Everything is done by internet, the only thing you have to do is report every month on the state website how much you earned last month, which takes roughly 30 seconds if you have proper accounting.
You are right of course, just tried to be concise with the description - it's basically how we always explained it to the players back then. A Java or Python comparison was not possible at that time - both did not even exist at the time while I was programming on an LPMud driver.

I don't want anyone working a job to live a subsistence lifestyle, but taxis have also always been a nightmare for me (in the US and every country I've ever been in) and I never want to go back. Uber and Lyft are vastly superior and less stressful experiences for the customer in every way. I'd like them to be good experiences for the drivers, too, but the answer isn't to scrap the whole thing and go back to taxis.
It's also by far the limiting resource on aircraft production. It takes 18 years to grow a human to the point where they can pilot a jet, and then a few years more to train them. Many years more to train them really well. In any sort of war of attrition, you'll run out of trained pilots long before you run out of planes.

The Japanese weren't defeated in the Pacific because they ran out of planes, they were defeated because they ran out of pilots. At the time of the Marianas Turkey Shoot, Japan still had a large carrier force (9) and a large number of aircraft (750), but their pilots were all green, and so weren't very effective in combat. The Battle of Santa Cruz Islands is considered a strategic victory for the U.S. even though it was a huge tactical defeat, because it depleted the stock of trained pilots enough that Japan wasn't able to mount effective resistance for the rest of the war.

Some patience is required, yes. But mostly you're driven by the challenge itself. There is a beauty in working with raw bytes. No worrying about maintainability or code reuse, no layers of abstraction - just finding the right combination that solves the problem. Abstraction comes later as you understand the space and see the patterns.

And yeah, seemingly every modern chip has ended up with its own ARM processor with some undocumented firmware blob, to provide its "hardware" functions. Better than bespoke state machines, I guess.

One of the ways the S3 (and I think S4) can self-brick is that the flash controller table gets corrupt, so its firmware goes into a boot loop (making the flash chip disappear to the main processor). Someone did a similar reverse engineering trek to unbrick S3s that have fallen victim to this bug. I just wish the chip registers were documented in the datasheet, and the firmware more open. I've got a bricked S4 with some concert pics that I'll get around to hacking on some day...

> As I had replicated this vulnerability, I disclosed it to Samsung, as it was likely they would want to remediate it. Remediation was performed by them on all newly manufactured chips, as well as chips currently in development, as of April 2020

facepalm. The NFC chip firmware integrity is assured by it being loaded from the application processor. Signature schemes that prevent users from running their own code on devices they own are unjust, and you're doing nobody any favors by reporting bugs in them (apart from the power-hungry manufacturers pushing this junk). The author has basically obsoleted their own code on future models.
So how does it resolve com then? Or the (small number) of sites that are on the TLD.

> Very quickly, the game state becomes complex enough that decision trees break down and intuition becomes the driving process for high-level human players. The extent to which AI can begin to compete with this sort of intuitive human processing is most interesting to me.

As far as I can tell, we're already there. Go is a game where search + explicit rules work really poorly, and intuition is a heavy factor in how humans play. AlphaGo was the first major success where neural nets were able to replicate this "intuition", and actually become far better at it than humans.

You can definitely see this "intuition" factor if you watch the AlphaStar games. Basically, if you have two armies with "middle of the road" units, AlphaStar always knows when to take a fight. You can sometimes see it take its army up to a defensive line, then turn around and go home; but if it decides to attack up that ramp, it always wins, even in a situation where a human would be less sure.

The exception is with unusual unit compositions; for example, it seems in training to have only encountered 1-2 battle cruisers at a time. So there are games where over and over again it throws an expensive army full-throttle into a group of 10 battle cruisers, and over and over gets slaughtered.

But again, I think this "intuition" factor, even in humans, is not much more than a sophisticated pattern matching, perhaps with background search.
In an alternate universe, an application would call connect('google.com', secure=true), and the OS would make an encrypted connection and verify that the person on the other end of the connection really was google.com using dnssec published keys.

While that might have been a better design, the reality is OS's only provide API's for unencrypted connections and each application builds their own encryption and authentication on top of that.
For the most part you only care that it’s a feed, but the technical inferiority of RSS does matter from time to time. My favourite example is having things that look like HTML markup in a title. All RSS specs are silent on what that means and there’s no popular XML namespace that fixes that like with content:encoded¹. So some clients will treat it as plain text, some will treat it as HTML and strip it, some will treat it as HTML and render it. (Some will double-encode it, but that’s a bug in the reader. Atom probably won’t save you from that kind of error.) The result is that in RSS you simply can’t safely use <, > or & in a title, because no matter how you do it, it will be mangled by some meaningful fraction of clients. Meanwhile, Atom has <title type="text"> and <title type="html"> and the problem is averted; almost all clients will get it right, and any that get it wrong are unquestionably buggy so you can file a bug report and hopefully get it fixed.

———

¹ And seriously the whole podcast RSS scene is full of “well RSS is bad, so let’s add our own elements to fix it” namespaces, so that you’re writing the same thing four or five times, where Atom would have obviated at least some of those.
I'm not sure if you're asking about (a) querying Oracle from a Postgres client through Splitgraph, or (b) querying Splitgraph from Oracle.

We want to support both these use cases. For (a), Oracle would be an "upstream" to Splitgraph. We'll need to write a plugin that implements the FDW and does introspection. Eventually, we want you to be able to configure upstreams from the Web UI.

For (b), you can probably find a way to query Splitgraph from Oracle, e.g. using Oracle's "gateway" feature [0]. What's nice about Splitgraph is that it's compatible with any SQL client that can speak the Postgres protocol (or ODBC). So if Oracle can connect to a Postgres database, it can connect to Splitgraph.

We have instructions for how to query Splitgraph from within ClickHouse at [1]. We're actually giving a presentation about this to a ClickHouse meetup on Sep 10, feel free to join. [2]

I’d rather the main platform keep its internal codebase clean and streamlined, removing/replacing APIs whenever there’s a need, and publishing advanced warning so that plugin devs can update their plugins. Legacy plugins shouldn’t be a reason for spaghetti code in the main platform.

How about if the anonymity is "de-blinded" only partially, replacing it with pseudonymity?

Imagine a system like this:

1. The reviewers on your paper not only have to collaborate on a decision to accept/reject, but also write an opinion (like a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_opinion) about your paper, individual to themselves, after the consensus to accept/reject is reached (so some of them will likely be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissenting_opinion s.)

2. The reviewers are each assigned a global permanent pseudonymous identifier—a UUID, basically—known only to them and some "Society for the Advancement of the Scientific Process in Academia" organization.

3. Every vote a peer-reviewer makes, and also every opinion they write about a paper, must be registered with the same academic-process org, whose job is then to collate and publish them to the Internet under the reviewer's pseudonymous identifier.

You'd be able to use such a website to both 1. audit the peer-review process for a given paper; and 2. cross-reference a given peer-reviewer's votes/opinions.

Additionally, the standards body itself could use the cross-referencing ability to normalize peer-reviewer votes, ala how the Netflix Prize recommendation systems normalized votes by a person's interpretation of the star ratings. (They'd have to ask peer-reviewers to vote with something more fine-grained than a binary pass/fail, but that'd be an easy change.)

The only thing I would worry about in such a system, is that academics might not want the negative opinions of the peer-reviewers on their paper to pop up when random other people plug the paper's DOI into Google Scholar, because a dissent on an accepted paper might unduly impact the paper's impact-factor.
This looks amazing, thanks. My question still stands, though, as it would be incredible to have a good notepad and monitor solution in one.
> Yeah, as a French I can only completely agree. The amount of paperwork is just absurd. For instance, when you create a company, you have to pay a separate fee (~200eur) to a private "official journal" to publish the fact that you're creating a company. That's just plain racket, and that kind of things is everywhere.

this is entirely false, it does not cost a cent to get something published to the JO / create a micro-entreprise. source: have one.
