Yeah, if you’re trying to establish residency in another state, you probably need to tell your employer to use that state for your W2 so they stop deducting state tax and so California doesn’t think you still are earning money there. That means your employer knows you moved, and knows you’re saving all that money, so they will probably lower your pay.

I think you can still come out ahead if you have a ton of stock to vest, because they can’t cut that, but you still benefit from the lack of state tax there. But once the plague situation ends I think WFH employees will be in a weaker position and tend to get smaller refresh grants. It could be a great one-year-only move for anyone who’s due for a windfall from one of these IPOs.

The best position for me that I find for typing and this might be my own body and preferences, is to have elbows tucked close to the rib cage and keyboard on my lap or as close to the body as possible and relax arms, not rest on them at all but having them hang from the shoulders. Having a standing desk is very tempting, the only thing is that I'm not sure how I'd replicate the typing position I just mentioned. I'm now very curious and I think I'll run some experiments.

The core idea is a distributed time-series DBMS... not much to give away there. It "gives away" some architectural novelty, but it's not the solution to P=NP. These papers typically describe engineering feats more than they do a revoluntionary idea.

> Twilio has also been emailing me the past few months telling me I must turn on 2FA on my account. This is weird since I have TOTP enabled.

There's been a bit of confusion about this email: you can turn on 2FA separately for your Twilio account (identified by a 32-char hex string prefixed with "AC") and your user account (your email address). The email is talking about your user account. Even if you have 2FA turned on for your Twilio account, the email is asking you to turn it on for your user account.

For some context for those who may not be familiar: the Twilio account is essentially a billing/project unit that is a container for Twilio resources you've purchased or configured. Multiple user accounts can have access to a single Twilio account, and a single user account can have access to multiple Twilio accounts. Enabling 2FA on the Twilio account means all users who want to sign into that account (regardless of their user account setting) will have to use 2FA. Similarly, enabling 2FA on your user account will require 2FA whenever you sign in, regardless of the settings on any accounts you may have access to.

(Source: I work there, got confused about this email myself, and managed to clarify internally what was going on.)
Ah, thanks - this is a really nice explanation. From reading a few "what is a monad" posts in the past, I get how the a monad can chain functions in sequence for imperative-style execution, but how the information like 'getChar' actually got in was never clear. It all comes down to the runtime I guess.

I'm favoriting this comment so I can come back the next time I forget how all this works :)

The percentage is clearly the main deciding factor here.

This is bad for the ecosystem in general, and in my opinion Apple does not need that money. And they are evading the tax laws in most countries, simply because they can...
It's inherent to payment systems to "lose" money on a failed request. A transaction involves two sides, either both sides agree that the transaction is completed or money is lost/duplicated.

If the client decides to drop (timeout) and consider the transaction cancelled, while the server is processing it and will consider it done. That's a catastrophic issue that needs to be addressed. It is one of the most common bugs I've seen in the wild (root cause: too short timeouts).

How to make highly critical systems reliable enough in the face of hardware and software issues is a complex topic. At this level this involves a holistic approach to get every component to cooperate together (timeout is a minor example). A HUGE amount of work is to detect errors, and more importantly to propagate errors across diverse stacks (software should be aware of database errors, services should detect other services failing).
I have this same issue. I've never seen a chair that supports shoulders back and down good posture. They all seem to hunch or arch forward. None offer the mid back support needed to put your chest forward.

Same situation for sitting cross legged. My solution for posture has been a standing desk. I never really made any progress on my posture until I started standing.
Businesses are incentivized to not include taxes in the price since there's no laws against it, everyone else does it, and it lets them advertise better prices then they actually have. Personally, the practice really irks me and my small act of rebellion is that I pay in cash if tax is included in the price and by card if it's not. I wish people cared about it more but I suppose there's just more important things to worry about

Inflation is an average across many prices. Individual prices do often go up and down all the time due to changes in supply, in lots of different markets. An everyday example is that fruit is cheaper in season. Also, oil prices are certainly affected by changes in the supply of oil, for example when OPEC gets it together to agree to cut supply, or when the cartel fails and they start selling more oil again.

History is complicated with lots of different effects, but saying that supply has nothing to do with price changes means you aren't paying attention.

Where do such jobs exist?
I honestly don't know if that's true. Everyone I have ever known who was supposedly being "lazy" turned out to have some serious personal issues, often issues that were not being identified.

In my experience, if you want to cure "laziness," the best thing to do is identify the underlying cause of the failure to get anything done and address that.

I homeschooled two special-needs sons who had a lot of issues that did not resolve for being lectured or something. They resolved by figuring why X was happening and addressing that.

Sometimes other people find it empowering to get that point of view put out there. It's an epiphany for some people that they aren't actually lazy like everyone has always told them. They just don't have the energy for some reason and addressing that can help make their life finally work after decades of frustration.

I developed a tool called shhgit.com that watches code commits across GitHub, Gitlab and Bitbucket in real time. In a ~24 hour period you will find 100s of valid SendGrid credentials/API keys so this does not surprise me. They really need to enforce 2FA and IP whitelisting for API key use.

I'm interpreting the "tortoise" comment as slow and steady, not apathetic to the day job.

Personally, I put my creative energy into my 9 to 5 job. Instead of using evenings to start side hustles or to "get ahead" on work, I unwind and get adequate rest. This is so I can be alert and switched on during my regular work hours.

I've found stretching myself thin starts to affect me quickly, and I feel like I'm actually operating at 50% on a permanent basis.
I do not know of a functionality not available for development on a open source Mobile OS.

I agree that it costs time, effort and money to develop each functionality. I fail to see the choice between only iOS and only-Android. It is not mandated to choose only between these two.
> Sure, but that isn’t the user’s fault, and they’re the ones who are going to get attacked.

This is true, but the responsibility to protect these users is ultimately on Slack, not the researcher. If Slack's bounties are nowhere near competitive with black market prices, they are failing to protect their users and should be called out on it.
It is a messy issue.

Without the in app purchase fees, developers could (and would) give away the app and take all of the revenues.

With the in app purchase fees, developers (rightfully) feel as though Apple is taking a cut for something they they did not sell.

If apps sold for $40 or $80 each, Apple would have a much harder time justifying the commission on in app purchases. The motivation to do so would still be there, but the pressure from consumers may have more bearing on the rates (though I doubt they would eliminate them).
Right? The rules don't say "no fun allowed."
Understood.

When the gag order on 3-5% fee, it's business. But on 30%, it's mafia level extortion.
Good question since they didn't catch anyone. It looks pretty remote, so perhaps not surprising the culprit wasn't seen.

I never doubted that it was based on what you see. It seemed rather clear to me that you were attempting to refute the idea of comparing coupons for medicine with coupons for food — with the claim that "most food coupons are for luxury foods.", based on your experience.

I responded that coupons are used for all sorts of basic necessities, and not just "luxury"/"junk" food, and as such I have no problems with using coupons for basic necessities. This is based on what the coupons I see can be used for. It literally doesn't matter what your experience is, because you seem to think that your experience renders coupons "only for luxury", and I'm refuting that with my own experience, potentially even exposing you to how someone else might live their life. This shouldn't be difficult for you to accept.

And I'm not your bud.

Let’s play make a Facebook. You need profile information. That’s information that’s access as block. We can use documents for that. We then want to track relationships. Friends. Friends of friends. We can use a graph. We might need a lightweight cache. Opaque entries accessed by key. We can use a key value store for that. ArangoDB does all of theses. Some times you want to join documents to documents or any other form of pairing. ArangoDB does that too.

You can then scale this across multiple machines as necessary. The benefit of such a design is that your team only needs to learn on technology not many. You don’t need to know redis, postgres and Neo4j to derive the same benefits.

Finland and Norway have half the population of Sweden.

Sweden has about the same population as Belgium, Portugal and Greece...or Georgia (and Ohio, and Michigan, and...) in the US, none of which are places that people are shy about extrapolating from, when it suits their narrative.

You may not like the conclusions that can be drawn from Sweden, but you can't dismiss it based on population. Try again.

This may have used to be true to a degree, but the console makers don't really sell consoles at a loss anymore, or a minor loss at launch knowing that they will turn a profit soon enough on the hardware once they reach volume.

Not sure what the point is supposed to be with "The value of creating and enabling an entire ecosystem is found to be worth 30%", and making the judgment that Apple hasn't done the same. Without some harder numbers on both sides, it's not a conclusion that anyone is in the position to make. It's also worth remembering that Apple has amassed an extremely loyal customer base that has shown that they are willing to spend an immense amount of money on App Store purchases over the period of decades - Apple does deserve to cash in on that value created such as being the single point of contact for easily addressable issues with app purchases, fraud, & such for the customer, secure & frictionless payments, and most of all, creating the situation where users want to go and spend $ on their platform over alternatives.

The value created is in developers/publishers being able to make more $, which is the ultimate value.

Because you're wrong?

It could be done in a different browser that supports these features, of course. But on iOS, there is no other browser, and Apple prevent any other browser from being put onto the App Store.

I guess you are heartless and as I said, well connected so that kind of injustice doesn't affect you. You are an oppressor and no matter what kind of evidence you'd find you'd still find some justification for what you do to the oppressed. You completely disregarded a poor woman's plight and called me emotional. If it leaves you cold-hearted make sure you're also not a psychopath as well.

I don't have 100% certainty but I highly suspect you're paid by the CCP to mitigate any damage to their image. If that's true then it's also very pathetic.
It's the ultimate wonderful if you own one. Terrible when everyone else does. It's like automobiles X 100.
Basically, in this entire article it doesn't address the elephant in the room: "how good does it have to be, for you to call it a vaccine?" If people hear, in let's say January 2021, "the vaccine is here! Yay! It's 30% effective!", then a lot of people will be very upset, I think.

Or, who knows, maybe people will just decide they're tired of being afraid, the virus is in decline anyway, and they will just ignore the fact that they imagined a vaccine to be 99% effective, and this is instead 1/3 of that.

But, if you asked people right now what they expect of a vaccine in terms of how much it should reduce their chances of getting sick from the virus it's targeted at, they probably are imagining that it should make that virtually impossible. Which does not, at this point, seem likely to be the outcome.
Microsoft had a monopoly over the operating system market (95% market share).

they also estimate close to a petabyte of RAM; if all the RAM is spent in leaves that is about 6-7GB per leaf. I don't know that we can say it would be unreasonable to have 1 core per leaf replica; presumably some leaves have low utilisation so it might make sense to share the core with another workload. From a capacity planning standpoint, I think they leave this open though they do indicate that they are sometimes CPU bound so don't try to compress beyond delta compression. That might suggest multiple cores per leaf.

A single core design allows a very simple concurrency model, without having to worry about cache pingponging, false sharing, or myriad other issues. The parallelism is applied at higher layers, as there are multiple replicas for each leaf and obviously they can use many cores effectively overall.

I don't see that the paper gives enough information to help us prune the design space here.
This is a good time to illustrate that you can prove SOME programs can terminate. The halting problem doesn't limit you in proving that the following loop will halt or not:

for x in range(0,10):
x = x + 1

Microsoft research even had(has?) a program that attempts to prove functions that halt and they called in the Terminator. See https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/39932/practical...
Conversely, in theoretical cs, there are many longstanding open problems. People who make progress on these problems are taken seriously and listened to precisely because they have new techniques and novel approaches that have not been considered previously - i.e. the theorems & definitions are well understood, but the proofs are the significant element.
This is my experience.

I had lower back pain while sitting at a desk when I was younger.

Once I started lifting weights, and specifically doing heavy deadlifts, I've never had back pain again.

Interestingly, a lot of people are afraid deadlifts will cause back pain, but in my case at least, it cured back pain.
FYI to be more clear - the Chinese Communist Party has party officials placed within corporate organisations in order to maintain control, and to require businesses to adhere to CCP Policy.

As of 2019 - 70% of Chinese business had 'CCP organs' placed within the company for oversight, and Xi wants to put it to at least 95% very soon. [1]

From the Guardian: "Central Organisation Department, the party’s personnel body, found that 68% of China’s private companies had party bodies by 2016, and 70% of foreign enterprises. Although these figures sound high, they don’t match the targets the party has set for itself. In Xi’s old stamping ground of Zhejiang, for example, officials set a target in August 2018 to have cells inside 95% of private businesses."

There is no ambiguity here: while the state may allow private enterprises to manage day-to-day affairs, all private businesses are subject to controls and scrutiny by the CCP - directly from agents within the company - so that they meet CCP objectives.

Given that, all Chinese companies are de-facto CCP companies from the perspective of national security and strategic policy.

The parallel would be Trump putting a 'special team' of CIA or Republicans inside every American company to ensure oversight of his agenda.

This is very material to the nature of Social Media operations and global influence.

Edit: which is why India et. al. are going to be much more concerned about TikTok than other apps and that the primary concern is not issues over speech.

On my Dell XPS replacing the battery also only involves unscrewing a few screws and unplugging one connector, then putting that back together with the new battery. It couldn't be simpler, and that's in the space constraints of an ultrabook.
