I had zero power or influence in that situation. I probably wouldn't even have been the person to update the web server configuration if they had got the domain (although, in those days, there were a lot of static HTML pages and Flash content that would have needed updating).
Absolutely a fun read!

Curiously, it doesn't answer the question.
More importantly, it's not the same 1.5% each month. So if they're going to stay with with Gitlab, they'll need to switch over to paid, even if they're the 98.5% in other months.

That said, I'm not complaining about free.
yes, they're quite clever and attentive. the cats i've had have always known what was in and out of bounds. just like people, some push the boundaries and other don't.

my now 2-year-old cat is exceedingly and surprisingly mindful of all of my what must seem to be arbitrary to her rules around tables and scratching and such (whereas my former two cats were always sneaking behind my back and breaking the rules). the only one she routinely disobeys is munching on the plants. but that's partially my fault, as i always take too long to replenish the cat grass for her.
People vary widely in their sensitivity to particular smells.

My kids made a "compost jar" for a school project a few years ago. They took some soil, a bunch of rotting food waste, and earthworms and put it all in a jar. At some point, the jar was accidentally got left too close to a window and the worms got crisped and died. It took several days for us to notice. I threw that rotting dark concoction out in the garden.

Unbeknownst to me, the dog got out and—like dogs do—decided to gulp that whole pungent witch's brew down. It became very beknownst to me about ten minutes later when she threw the whole thing up on the brand new rug. We're talking a large puddle of hot garbage, rotting earthworms, dogfood, and bile. It was vile. The smell was heart-stopping. I have never cleaned up a mess so fast in my life.

Even so, cat poop is worse for me. It will make me gag instantly. Something about the fishy meatiness of it turns my stomach.
The first isn't really a critique of OOP. It's a critique of ORMs that doesn't recognize ORMs are not OOP despite the name - they initialize state that languages refer to as "objects", but those do not offer true abstractions.

The second link is good, but it's just describing OOP done right. If you read the original publications, way back, OOP was never about idiomatically programming in Things - the typical example of "Dog extends Animal" is antithetical. Objects should be closer to microservices. Within those objects... stateless transforms and simple state containers (like structs), or some spaghetti. Didn't matter, the other objects should never interact below the interface.
From what I understand they've picked a technology stack that is extremely well adapted to the problem set they have chosen.

The impedance mismatch brings a lot of the cost to software, in many different forms.
Good thing we don't have to choose!

Windows runs services underneath the Service Control Manager (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/services/serv...). Services are expected to talk to the service control manager and at least announce when they started.

Services are also regularly run on different account especially the ones under "NT AUTHORITY" like "SYSTEM" and "NETWORK SERVICE".

As I recall Visual Studio contains some pretty good templates for writing services with C# but the underlying requirements are abstracted by the .net Framework.
Careful. You could end up on a no-fly list or worse for consorting with persona non grata. (I am paranoid)
OK. But they're saying the number of free users that would have to switch to a paid account is 1.5%, right?

Which doesn't necessarily seem like enough to justify a disruptive change that might scare customers... but I don't really know I'm hardly an expert or have experience in this kind of business. You think it is, is your hypothesis?

You can plug the ‘waste water outlet’ where you see fit. We use our washer’s, which in our city, is the waste water system, thats goes into the waste water recycling plant which doesnt mix with the ‘clean water’ cycle.
In any case, it is WAY more filtering that if we were using classical litter granule that would be then send to a landfill where those same bacterias and viruses would fest and infiltrate the soil.

It is an interesting debate to have though. It probably depends how your waste water is processed.
'we want smart people' I agree with this sentiment, but feel in both the US and here in Australia it is used to deflect examination of the specifics of how immigration is being used. I think in our eagerness to oppose xenophobic ideologies, we are currently failing to articulate the problems with immigration programs.

I fear in Australia we are creeping towards a regressed, more limited form of democracy. Foreign workers who come here not as free agents, but within the constraints of a specific work contract are an ever increasing fraction of the population - a fraction that skews heavily towards non-professional working class - and have no access to political representation.

This leaves them vulnerable to exploitation, and that exploitation is used as an economic lever against the entire population.

I believe bringing people to work in our economies without a clear fast path to full citizenship is eroding citizenship for all.
This isn't for work visas, which I imagine is probably much easier. This is for unrestricted residency.

Anytime.

I saw you are already implementing some ideas from my inputs, that is great, please keep it going.

Eventually, in notorious systems, you may face issues of having too many /32 rules, a good idea is to implement some mechanism to defragment them into single/bigger contiguous cidr blocks. There are other firewall implementations that can serve as inspiration.

OR

I recommend using ipset with a single iptables rule to match/block from the set. This way you don't need to reload stuff everytime. (Just add the ips into the set)

Apple definitely does shady stuff. Sure on privacy they are the better option, usually. But don't forget it recently came out that Siri was sending recordings to be analysed without the users knowledge. They also will only very begrudgingly fix design faults in their products. I recently was a victim of their flexgate issue and because I have the 15" MacBook Pro it isn't automatically covered. Other users with this issue are fighting Apple in a class action over it. You would hope that a company that makes as much money as Apple would stand behind their products better but unfortunately that's not the case.
This is something that has been worrying me a bit since reading Matthew Walker's book Why We Sleep.

Find an internal mentor at Google who has been there at least 3 years and came in at the same level as you (or maybe one level above). They will give you a wealth of tips and tricks to navigate it. It's usually easy to find an altruistic soul who is willing to make sure others don't repeat their own mistakes.

Make sure they are not part of your org chain, and that there is a clear understanding of trust so you can talk openly about everything without any fear of retribution. It should be a safe place and a good mentor always respects that.
This is not just replacing the discriminator. In this DSM-ALS method you learn a score function instead of a generator, and to generate a sample you need to evaluate the score function multiple times (it essentially gives you a direction to move in).
It's true that all of the platforms you listed have dealt with scams over the years. It's part of the maturation process of any social network. In the case of TikTok, it officially just celebrated its 2nd year as a platform, and I just began to observe a slew of ads on the platform pushing scams unabated. Scammers follow the trends and where the users are, so an extremely popular app like TikTok became a platform ripe for the picking.
This doesn't make sense. Their labor can benefit your economy even if they don't live there, and they can consume your countries goods without living there.
Maybe it makes it easier to buy and have cars shipped from outside the country, since batteries are hazardous materials? Or maybe locally-made batteries are cheaper?

The opposite might be the case as well, maybe the cars are easy to manufacture locally but they import the batteries from China or wherever?

Or maybe just decoupling the batteries from the car enables more consumer choice. I wish the article had some hint about the actual motivation for this policy, but I could imagine several scenarios where it could be beneficial.
If you go to nissanusa.com now, they're selling a Sentra with the tag 'Refuse to compromise'.
I think people do it more than you'd guess; especially the case where they have been to the correct Nissan site recently, didn't notice the URL, and then are navigating back quickly.

I have done that within the last few years: I was attempting to install Steam on a new machine, and forgot the address is actually "store.steampowered.com".
Speaking of "blocking... Fleetwood Mac," a number of hip hop and rap artists have been denied entry to Canada due to their criminal records. For instance:

> Entry to Canada may be a challenge to those with a record of criminal conviction, including celebrities looking to perform in Canada. Many rappers, including DMX, The Game, Lil Wayne, Coolio and 50 Cent, have been denied entry to Canada and unable to attend their scheduled performances. [0]

Of course, one can be denied entry to many countries with a felony record, but a conviction need not be a felony in the home country for Canada to use it as reason for denial. If the offense would be considered an "indictable offense" (the rough equivalent of a felony) in Canada, then they will deny. Among other things, IIRC, DUI is considered an indictable offense, which causes issues for a number of celebrities.

I had a friend who worked in constituent services for a US Senator, and...yeah, if you can get someone's attention in that setting, they can make stuff happen that otherwise would have fallen through the cracks. Been awhile since I heard stories, but one came to mind was someone getting the right visa for his bride in time for the wedding. Another one had to do with getting some kind of medal for a soldier.

Not sure if doing things on someone else's behalf can be as effective, but it almost certainly won't hurt to ask.
It's ironic given that one of the services they apparently offer is website development
From https://www.indiatoday.in/auto/latest-auto-news/story/morth-...

> The amendment will allow OEMs to sell batteries separately or with subscription models, and will also encourage private players to join in as well, boosting the grass-roots of the electric ecosystem.

So it's about allowing competition in battery providers and allowing battery leasing. This is a good move because not only does it open up the industry and hopefully drive overall prices down, but it decouples the prices of vehicle and "fuel", making it easier to compare directly with petrol-powered vehicles.

Also, by incentivizing vehicle designs with removable (and thus swappable) batteries, it makes taxis and other high demand use cases more practical without needing widespread fast charging infrastructure.
Oh, that's even more devious if true! Although I'm not sure about this one, it might not be exactly the same 1.5% of users every month, but I'd guess most users CI/CD user stays relatively constant or increases at a gradual relatively constant rate, it doesn't jump up and down unstably month over month. I'd guess which users are in the 1.5% is relatively constant, right? Although you're right that the % of users in a given year that went over in any month must be somewhat more than 1.5%.

Man, I was expecting some sort of business/budget answer that I woudln't have insight into not being in this kind of business. I was not expecting straight up "misleading statistics, that number probably doesn't mean anything like it seems." :(
One source of geopolitical information I've found to be head and shoulders above the mainstream media is Stratfor. Now before you hit the downvote button and reply "You idiot, it's run by the CIA", hear me out.

I got a free trial a few year back and was pretty impressed with: 1) the level of detail, 2) the attempt at focusing on facts 3) the lack of "this is what it means".

I was reading an article on stability in Afghanistan and it read like "There are 5 warlords...the warlord in Eastern Afghanistan is X, and used to be aligned with Y, but is now aligned with Z, because of...". It didn't hesitate to go back 50 years to provide context for a given fact. And there wasn't a lot of "this person is good and this person is bad".

If you're not interested in the topic it's pretty damn dry reading, but if you are interested, the level of detail is impressive and I came away actually knowing more than when I started.

Now of course there is bias in the reports and it will be presented through the filter of Western intelligence agencies, but if they do cover a topic you want more information on, I highly recommend checking it out.
I was definitely a shareholder. I had early exercised some options, and reached my one year cliff. I believe your conclusion is correct. They shut down the company and sold off assets. The acquihire probably returned some money to the investors.

I spoke with (paid) two attorneys (employment and business) at the time and they said there wasn't much I could do. In the grand scheme of things it was small potatoes. I was pissed at the time though.

Depending on your specific situation, you may be eligible to apply for permanent residency directly from the US. The process could take as little as 6 months and you would enter Canada as a permanent resident. You would not need a job offer or employer sponsorship for this.

If you are not eligible for that, you could be eligible to apply for and receive a work permit at the border provided that you have secured professional work in Canada beforehand.

Again, if you apply for a work visa, it's probably faster. If, instead, you go directly for a permanent residency application, it's slower and more difficult. There are accelerated programs (like the Québec Investor program) that can get you through certain hurdles much faster, but they're not cheap. And even then, that preliminary process can take a couple of years, after which you get thrown into the 49-month Federal queue.

Your second sentence, what's the difference?

Note that all patients received HCQ and azithromycin.

Quoting the article (which I hope all here will read),

"[typically] more than 40 % of patients hospitalized because of COVID‐19 pneumonia developed ARDS of which more than 50 % ultimately died."

That's a 20% fatality rate.

Of the 76 patients in this study - regardless of vitamin D treatment - only 2 died, and the rest were eventually discharged. This is an outstanding result.

None (!) of the hospitalized patients died in the vitamin D / HCQ / AZ group.

I will say that the average age - 58 - is rather young. Only 19 out of 76 were over 60.

"All hospitalized patients received as best available therapy the same standard care, (per hospital protocol), of a combination of hydroxychloroquine (400 mg every 12 hours on the first day, and 200 mg every 12 hours for the following 5 days), azithromycin (500 mg orally for 5 days) and for patients with pneumonia and NEWS score≥5, a broad spectrum antibiotic (ceftriaxone2 g intravenously every 24 hours for 5 days) was added to hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin."

They have since discontinued HCQ because they felt that studies had shown that it was ineffective. We shall see.

As with AIDS, it's the cocktail of drugs that appears to matter. What is effective pre-hospitalization (i.e. prophylactic) is different from the best protocol post-admission. And that, in turn, differs from the best course of treatment in the ICU. The improvement in outcomes over the last few months is a result of experience:

William Freeman's group does lots of cool things in computational imaging and sensing, as well as ML. Fun fact: his group contributed to the formation of the first black hole image. Dr. Katie Bouman was his PhD student.

The whole field of remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) is quite interesting. I have implemented a couple algorithms, but they are quite "brittle" if you will, and only work well with certain videos. Many recent papers have introduced deep learning techniques. Hopefully these techniques are more robust to movement, skin color, lighting, and other natural conditions (unlike the usual computer vision/signal processing algorithms previously used).
I am a US citizen living in Tijuana to save money and have really limited my trips walking across the border because the officers or whatever usually give me a hard time. They want to know why I am crossing the border and where I am going but they often act as if they assume I am a criminal low-life. Like a drug mule or something.

The last time I got nervous because of the way the guy was staring at me and the guy made me like back up and go back to the counter while he scowled at me. It's gotten to the point where I am wondering if it's because I am ugly or tired or something but anyway I just let my mailbox in San Ysidro expire and just pay extra for Mercado Libre instead of Amazon or whatever if I need something. It's not worth dealing with the agents to go back to the US.

With all this navel-gazing in american social media that lasts for months and months, i wonder why other media don't jump into the opportunity to steal their international users.

There are mountains on earth that formed in a few years too, and in fact most mountain ranges form pretty quickly as far as geology goes.
A sufficiently large pool can be built, that any plausible leak will take many days. Think about it: a million liters of water take a long time to dissapear, after all lakes stay there for a long time without rainfall. Weve built many many ponds, it's not hard.
This is what you choose to focus on, from my post? It's irrelevant as that was before social distancing. Also, we've learned more about this disease since then.

Our current local guidelines are that masks are only required indoors or when distancing is not possible, and that seems to be borne out by the evidence. Over the summer people have been out at the beach, out in the parks, and out on the streets while only social distancing-ish. If walking through someone's exhaust plume were as much of a threat as you guys are trying to make out, we would have certainly seen that in the numbers. We don't.
