Excatly. Microsoft owned GitHub is more interested into getting more customers for Azure than GitHub itself.
What RISC-V stock, there is not a "RISC-V company". Which is one of the main points where it makes a difference.

Through you could decide go for SiFive, Inc through I have no idea if they entered or will enter the stock marked.
Didn't they work on an educational game first? Or something about carrots and sticks? I liked their story when I read about them ages ago.
I don't. The founders pushed people who trusted them to work hard and value the company over their own needs. While the founders and their friends were able to pull out equity, every one else was told that they had to wait their turn, which never came.

If Dan and Pete were nice guys, they would have take care of the employees that built their company. The employees wouldn't have been millionaires, but they might be able to scrape together a down payment for a house. And not like the mansion that Dan has, just something that would move them out of the fear of rents increasing and losing their jobs.

They used to be nice guys. I don't wish ill towards them, but they do not deserve a good exit with this.

If by "on different platforms" you mean "on different server platforms" then result will be different but close enough.

On Windows, for example, Skia will render text closer to Direct2D/DirectWrite. On MacOS to CoreText.

A few days ago, a blog post by a physician was stressing this same point. She was suggesting to be especially cautious with high doses.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but my father has been practicing civil rights law in central Florida for several decades now, and he's brought multiple lawsuits against police departments there which are very similar to the situation you're describing. In one instance, a young mother with anorexia and mental health issues died after a 300-pound corrections officer sat on her to 'calm her down' until she asphyxiated in her jail cell with multiple broken ribs. This was all recorded on video. She'd been arrested for something along the lines of making a disturbance related to her psychological problems.

There have never been any systemic changes implemented as a result of these lawsuits. If the case goes 'well', the department will pay restitution to surviving family members, but damages for police negligence are tightly capped in Florida, and the department will frequently attribute full blame to the individual officer in question rather than give the impression of general negligence or training problems, which are some of the very narrow means of avoiding the damages cap and making them actually take notice. My impression is that most departments in central Florida treat these cases as the cost of doing business, which is extremely depressing and also indicative of how the cops down there actually feel and act, unfortunately.
I haven't used Eclipse in a long time, in a previous life when I wrote a lot of Java I would sometimes use it for the debugger.

I don't have any problem with people who want to use GUI IDEs, some are even pretty tempting (XCode with the DTrace integration is slick as hell), but I'm so married to having my development environment running on a big, always-on box somewhere under a tmux session that it doesn't make a ton of sense for me.

Plus at this point my fingers are so hardwired that I reconfigure my desktop environment to match Emacs and/or Vim text navigation rather than the other way around. Even when editing Algol/brace-type languages I can't imagine moving a lot of code around quickly without paredit-mode and friends.
I think there are plenty of things going wrong in the world as it exists today, at least as an American, that would dissuade me from having children. The exploding costs of childcare, healthcare, and education, let alone the impending crisis of climate change and ecological collapse, are all pretty scary. None of those things need to be exaggerated by the media.

The only two that I'd put on the same level are jQuery and React. And people are still happily using jQuery to this day (maybe happy is the wrong word). So I don't think React is going anywhere for a long time but if something better comes out then why is that a bad thing?
> as a side note, let's not separate ourselves from lawyers in our ability to reason about and determine what's fair, ethical, and just. it's well within our power to interpret and rationalize about human relations.

It should be noted, though, that appellate court opinions usually contain many citations to prior cases, quoting excepts from those cases and applying much subtle reasoning to try to justify saying the present case is like the prior cases whose ruling are similar to the present court's ruling, and much subtle reasoning to try to distinguish the present case from those prior cases that came to a difference conclusion.

It's real easy to go off track when trying to follow this. When reading cases in law school I had to resort to using something like 6 different colors of highlighter at once to mark up the cases in my book to help keep track of what was going on.

Yes, we indeed can (mostly) all reason about and determine what is fair, ethical, and just. But we usually don't have to provide extensive justification for how we reached our conclusions, and most situations where we have to make such determinations are fairly straightforward.

Courts are usually dealing with edge cases, where there are conflicting interests and it is not possible to come to a fair, ethical, or just outcome for everybody.
Florida is heinous. Statewide voted overwhelmingly to restore rights to returning citizens in a constitutional amendment.

Then, Republicans who control the state leg & Gov. DeSantis passed a poll-tax which virtually excludes 1 million or more citizens who served their time from voting. It's disgusting. It's being litigated but it's too late for this election.... They passed the law a couple weeks before a previous election the timing was on purpose.

There is no statewide easy system/paperwork for most of these citizens to even know how much they owe in ridiculous court fees etc. Let alone it seems a vast majority can't afford to pay if they are able to ever find out. It's indentured servitude to a criminal system (i'm calling the state the criminal in that sentence).

I feel so hopeless about our country. I work in politics. I used to feel optimistic and good about the work we/I have accomplished and making incremental progress. But over the last two years I've grown this close to completely giving up - which feels disgusting. I hate that we've strayed this far. It feels intentional and as someone with a relatively large amount of power I feel virtually powerless.
Fair enough, I know I self host everything. I would just suggest that a pi is probably a bad example. Since its ARM and you would want your ci/cd to run as close to production(x86) as possible.

It's interesting to me that Jefferson, in this text, offers an observation that's formulated very similar to (one-half of) the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect, when he says:

"The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowlege with the lies of the day."

For hundreds of years, anyone with personal knowledge of a topic-reported-on knows much if not most of the reporting is wrong.
If you are interested in the environmental impact of what you eat this resource is great:

https://ourworldindata.org/environmental-impacts-of-food#you...

Note that you don't need to go vegan or vegetarian to reduce the impact, e.g. replacing any beef with pork or chicken is huge! It's way more important than cutting out milk.

If you primarily eat ground beef consider trying impossible, there are good vegan butters at this point and some okay attempts at cheese. All of those reduce the impact.

Yes.

This study doesn't show that a non-hospitalized person who is not taking hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin should expect better outcomes from Vitamin D. At best, one could argue that if you get hospitalized, it would be good to have built up some Vitamin D.

I'm still supplementing with Vitamin D, though, but may cut back having been reminded that it's a fat-soluble hormone (and not really a vitamin at all).
People could actually die. Food poisoning of all kinds is a thing. Some of the stuff a baker works with is dangerous and flour explosions are a thing. Here’s a case where people died because of flour exploding in a mill: https://150.ngg.net/arbeitsbedingungen/gefahr-am-arbeitsplat...

Edit: Changed example.
As far as I know only rarely, and even those trains do have mechanical brakes too. Modern electric locomotives can do engine braking, but brake power needs to be applied everywhere on the train, so most of the train brakes mechanically. (And if you want to engine brake, the energy still needs to go somewhere - so you have additional complexity of feeding it back into the grid or you are limited by how much energy you can dump to heat)

Only (mostly high-speed) passenger trains with driven wheels everywhere can brake well only electrically for non-emergencies. Some also have additional eddy-current brakes that interact with the rails.

For the German high-speed trains they try to design the speed profiles so that they have to waste as little energy as possible by using the motors as generators and feeding it back to the grid. But they still have and use eddy-current and mechanical brakes too. (You can tell the difference if they are delayed: they brake later and more aggressively to make up time. And a full-on emergency stop is loud and smelly.)

The patients in this study were not given a prescription of "go outside", they were given vitamin D3 as calcifediol.
Yes, about one month after Bernard Stiegler passed away, this is a sad succession of losses.
Another anecdote: I have another email address (first_last@isp) and my last name is one of those that are very common but exist with several different spellings. One day I got a message from a freshly-wed lady, and she intended to send the mail to her husband. From the mail it seemed like she took his last name when they married, which made it even funnier that she mistyped it in the email address she sent the mail to. :)
Have you ever given thought to generalizability in A/B tests? I'm surprised there isn't more of a developing science of constructs that generally work...
Because there is no "true cost" and it's all subjective.

You can ratchet up the tax on heavy trucks because "muh road wear" but then you'll have a world where everything is delivered in small trucks and there will be problems with that. At the end of the day it comes down to a subjective question of which problems get which priority.
The group receiving Calcifediol had more "no bad risk" patients:

"At least one prognostic bad risk factor(@)

Group receiving Calcifediol: 48%

Group without Calcifediol: 61.54%"

"@) Patients with at least one of the following risk factors (age >60, previous lung disease, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease or Immunosuppressed and transplanted patients)."

That's what can be concluded from "at least one": (52% had no bad risk in D group, but only 38.46% had no bad risk in the other group). But it is also not clear where there were more patients with "multiple" factors! Or if they were those who had more problems at the end.

The whole paper contains neither raw data nor any graphs and only means and standard deviations, as far as I see? I would personally really like to see the graphs of distributions or to use raw data to check myself.

The critical question is how good the randomization was done.
It also would be somewhat crazy, tbh.
“ By this logic they might as well try not paying their employees at all and letting that go to court too”

They would totally do that if they thought they could get away with it.

I think too much compassion and inaction has really caused us to misalocate resources. If it were up to me I might open that park up now to people loosing housing, or homeless families with children that need some sort of internet to attempt the mess that is the school year. Instead we get a bunch of 20-30 year old men that have chosen the drug life and have taken over a public space though intimidation and violence. I don’t have a lot of compassion for that sort of behavior.
I was once interviewed by a local newspaper. It was not a full-length interview. I just said something quotable as a bystander and so they asked me for some demographic information. I gave them three facts, my name, my age, and the town I lived in. Including my quote, I gave the journalist four facts.

When I read the article, I was horrified that two of the four facts, including a misquote of what I said, were wrong.
The point is they are not variables, but rather constants (everyone got them), and they were not introduced, but standard care at the time.

I suspect you have the wrong idea about how the results of the trial are supposed to be interpreted. The point isn't to compare to results outside the study. You should only compare the intervention group to the control group in the same study.
This article is barely mentions formation of mountains on Earth. The article is almost entirely about lunar craters, lunar central peak craters, and lunar peak ring craters.

Interesting article, terrible headline.

The analog I'm thinking of is that space propulsion could turn out to be as much of a sandbox as cybersecurity and crytpo have been, where there was always a ceiling above which everyone just agreed to not look. I'm being super charitable about Lazar, but having been in the security field both pre- and post- Snowden, Lazar is more like a Binnie or Drake figure, with the full extent of the issue still further off in the future. What good technologists suspected about crypto and saw little edges of, vs. what ultimately came out implies companies like those mentioned above would need to have done some deeper arguments and analysis beyond blowing him off as just a kook. Musk's opinion on Lazar would be interesting for its own sake.

However, this is also like saying you have to rule out every "free energy" conspiracy before starting a battery company as well, so it's not really that much of a forcing function at all.
Sure, but you're assuming that this was a mandated practice by the "evil corporation" when the reality is just that individual managers didn't think this through in their stores. In the store that I worked out of, you had your bag checked, you clocked out, and they walked you out the door (for us it was the back door). There was always someone whose job it was to do this bag checks and they never lasted more than a minute.

This sounds to me like it was more "Manager gets caught up with a customer. Manager tells employee to clock out and then they'll check their bag. Employee goes to the floor to find manager for bag check and has to wait for manager to finish their interaction. Interaction takes longer than 5 minutes so employee is waiting off the clock to have their bag checked." Somehow, that became the norm when the reality should have been "Manager gets caught up with a customer. Manager tells employee they'll check their back and then can clock out. Employee has to wait for manager but gets paid while waiting. Manager checks bag. Employee clocks out and leaves."

I also suspect that part of the reason this became the norm in some stores was that individual managers were risk-averse and wanted employees to clock out first because, otherwise, they get to return to the back room with their bag post-check. If they clock out first, they can leave right after their bag is checked.
This follows quite a lot of observational evidence. There are currently 11 studies that have found an association between serum vitamin D and Covid severity. These are listed here:

>the gas tax was created because exhaust fumes were damaging the environment and reducing air quality

Do you have a source for this? Everything I have read states that gas taxes were first enacted to finance road construction (thereby leading to more exhaust fumes), and gas taxes in place today often dedicate the majority if not all of their funds to road building.

My understanding is that it hasn’t been shown for elevators. I think this is because of the required time to breathe in a minimal viral load. Do you have evidence otherwise?
In short, this is a super cool approach to replace the discriminator in GANs with something that doesn't need to be trained and provably converges to the correct result.

"256×256 images cannot be done reliably without 8 V100 GPUs or more!"

That's quite sad because that means this approach is far out of reach for any hobby researcher and for most universities.
Who said anything about normalizing abnormality?

If by abnormality, you mean traits that are far from the center of a population normal distribution, then I agree that this is essential information for a person to have about themselves. Nobody is encouraging people to think they aren’t different from the norm, when they in fact are.

Abnormal, disordered, or diseased are very different things, and should not be confused.

As for treatment - nobody should seek treatment because someone else has told them they are abnormal, or because they are not close to the center of the bell curve for a given trait. This is simply a bad reason.

People should seek treatment if it will help improve their quality of life, and they are willing to accept the trade-offs that come with it. Whether they are ‘normal’ or not is irrelevant.

This is not strictly true. You have lots of evolved repair mechanisms to fix the damage caused by sunlight. It's only when they get overwhelmed that you accrue permanent damage. It's still a probability game, though.

Note that if we didn't have UV repair mechanisms, we'd blister in a few minutes.
It’s a terrible income considering how much time you have to devote to it, starting when you leave the house. $50-$60k when you come home everyday at a set schedule and get to see your kids and have dinner with the family is different than $50k-$60k where you spend almost all the time traveling and getting an extra dose of solar radiation.

I’m sure it’s a great job for single and younger people who might want those trade offs, but it sucks overall.
The press release doesn't say anything at all about road wear, pressure or friction, so cars vs. trucks has nothing to do with it.

It appears to be entirely about the role of asphalt releasing compounds when exposed to sunlight and high temperatures.

So even if there was zero traffic on the roads, asphalt would still be producing the described pollution on a bright summer day.

Those who are successful in life have walked a path of failure, yet they keep getting up and trying again, learning from their mistakes and growing. This at its heart is a healthy kind of optimism.

Those who call themselves a realist, who believe it will fail, shoot themselves in the foot, because they do not get to learn the valuable lesson that comes from that failure. Without trying and failing growth is stunted. Trying is a win-win. You either get what you aimed for, or you learn and grow.

One scenario is if one grows up in a dangerous situation, you're shut down from risk taking, because taking a risk in a situation like that could seriously harm you. Meanwhile those who grew up in a safe environment could safely explore and open themselves up to positive hypotheticals worth attempting.

Another scenario is that when one fails instead of learning how to do better next time they create an assumption that any remotely close scenario in the future will end in failure. When one believes a negative dangerous outcome will happen, and they're thrown into that situation, it creates anxiety. This is why anxiety and depression often go hand in hand.
“The question is, what does the law say“

Correct. In the end the US needs better laws to protect workers. It’s not good that basic things like this need to be decided by the court. Seems that’s in line with the general trend that congress leaves more and more decisions up to the courts instead of clarifying the laws.
Stripe may expand "up market" at some point, but at the moment they're pretty enterprise unfriendly and don't seem interested in becoming enterprise friendly. You can't pay for phone support, their PCI compliance can cause some enterprise customers to blink and even if you're funneling millions through them they won't negotiate on price like other payment gateways. Also many of their more advanced features, just aren't that well implemented or documented (think connected accounts, etc) and since those cases aren't as heavily used we've had to side-channel to a C-level to get an issue expedited after bouncing around support for a show-stopper bug.

Additionally as a sidenote, that market is quite crowded with a LOT of choices. This is certainly not a winner take all industry, there are literally 20+ choices that will be reliable. Typically most large enterprises will end up with a vendor that will give them a good deal on rates, which isn't Stripe.
