It is baffling sometimes, but I think the inclination for people to just replace their device is why it was necessary to post this. If someone isn't rich, they should be getting more longevity out of their products, but it's easy to pressure someone into the replacement with some fuzzy numbers.

For my current mbp, (the one used in the comparison) I only have it because my late 2013 model was stolen, and needed a new machine quickly. Then I got the 2018 fn key 13" which I was forced to first replace the screen on, then the logic board, then the entire computer under warranty. They gave me the 2019 model as a replacement.
But how would that work in this case? The customer authorized paypal to be used for facebook ads, someone ran facebook ads using their account. If I give my Amazon log in credentials to someone and they order a bunch of expensive TVs to their house without my knowledge, can I get a chargeback?
If you want to build a multiple session (multiple people) connecting to a website with their camera and audio on, would you use WebRTC or WebSocket + getUserMedia ? Why ?
Could you suggest resources (books, articles, videos, moocs or others) to learn good database design. I am picking up skills about sql but want to better understand and learn about databases. As someone who doesnt have that background, a lot of the times I am just googling for stuff and just trying out bits and pieces.
> Hypothetically, if a gunman has you, and a clone of you in a room and is going to kill one of you, are you saying you have no preference which dies?

“Of course I have a preference!” I said at the same moment my completely perfect identical duplicate said exactly the same thing.

“I want to live!” I shouted, pointing at myself. My completely-absolutely-100%-identical-at-the-quantum-level duplicate shouted the same words and pointed at himself instead of at me.

The entire reason that I care and I’m upset by the comparison with plastic forks, is because I think most people think less of the copies, even though the copies will be just as much a living breathing human capable of suffering and joy as the actual original.

You’re not the first person I’ve encountered to use this sort of example to try and prove their point. I’m still not sure I even understand the worldview that you’re espousing well enough to try and actually engage with it properly.

If you have an i5 or i7, you may also have the advantage of remote KVM (via Intel's vPro) so that you can revive it remotely if needed.
It can be non cached data as well. Imagine a data that needs to be sorted by data that's owned by another another service. You need to replicate the data as you can't do a join+sort between the data coming from two apis effectively. You don't treat that data as a source of truth, but do use it some UI purposes.
From that article it seems the EEOC hasn't cared about the particular type of discrimination being discussed here in a long time anyway.

Even from a business perspective, what you're working on today, if it's tech or software related, will be horribly out-dated in 3 years. Imagine how many "pivots" need to be made on a software product who's expected delivery is Fall 2023.

That's what gave rise to the whole Lean Start-up movement - spend 3 months, get a working version out there, get some paying customers, start improving the software with new features. If you can't get any paying customers with an MVP, it's a sign your idea might not be worth a 3 year investment.

~~Can we get the actual report Zhang published, rather than a BuzzFeed link? I mean is Buzz Feed really considered news?~~

I retract my comment, I was unaware of the distinct nature of Buzzfeed news from Buzzfeed proper,
Read the Bill Gates post in full. It is utterly simple. You have a consumption tax AND an estate tax.

You don’t want to overly tax the creation of new wealth. I think history has shown that to be counterproductive. It slows innovation down drastically since it disincentivizes innovation and investment and therefore the pie as a whole doesn’t grow as fast. See the growth in the US and China vs Europe.
JavaScript is just a programming language with the same constructs as any other. And it's much faster than most languages, especially dynamically typed languages.

It sounds like you don't understand how a browser works. Performance issues are typically due to the browser runtime environment which includes a slow and complex DOM.

JavaScript will mop up most CLI apps in performance, including python and ruby, and will get close in perf to C if written carefully.
Do you have a source for that? Your comment is the top Google result when I search for that "on their side" quote with various nouns about Obama and Facebook data collection.

EDIT: This was a few spots down in the search results and explains how Obama's data collection was different than CA.

> HRC knew they had a problem in MN, WI, PA. They just couldn't figure out what was going on in time.

Yeah, the problem is that they took those states (and it’s MI not MN) for granted as safe blue states (which they had been for decades) and bought into the “Hillary is so far ahead in the polls she doesn’t even think about Trump anymore”[0] hype that they didn’t see the need to campaign there.

At the moment, it depends what you are using Mixpanel for. If it's about collecting events and storing them, then we have a JS web library [1] for that and we'll happily store them in our database and let you do things with them. It will handle anonymous users and convert/merge them when they log in.

He's the safe choice in that this election is going to come down to Trump/Not Trump. So all he has to do is literally not be Donald Trump.

It's not that the party thinks he's their best bet to win the election, it's that they think it's their best chance to get him elected.

It is fascinating to me, as someone who has been doing real time audio work for 20 years, to see how two fundamental processes have been at work during that time:

* audio developers recognizing the parallels between the way audio and video hardware works, and taking as many lessons from the video world as possible. The result is that audio data flow (ignoring the monstrosity of USB audio) is now generally much better than it used to be, and in many cases is conceptually very clean. In addition, less and less processing is done by audio hardware, and more and more by the CPU.

* video developers not understanding much about audio, and failing to notice the parallels between the two data handling processes. Rather than take any lessons from the audio side of things, stuff has just become more and more complex and more and more distant from what is actually happening in hardware. In addition, more and more processing is done by video hardware, and less and less by the CPU.

In both cases, there is hardware which requires data periodically (on the order of a few msec). There are similar requirements to allow multiple applications to contribute what is visible/audible to the user. There are similar needs for processing pipelines between hardware and user space code.

(one important difference: if you don't provide a new frame of video data, most humans will not notice the result; if you don't provide a new frame of audio fata, every human will hear the result).

I feel as if both these worlds would really benefit from somehow having a full exchange about the high and low level aspects of the problems they both face, how they have been solved to date, how might be solved in the future, and how the two are both very much alike, and really quite different.

Right, the laws that govern the banking system require that banks have deposits on hand, so they can loan out a multiple of that money. This is well established and verifiable, and your link is broken.

Also, the mutual exclusivity of savings and consumption is basic economics and easily verifiable in an undergrad textbook.

I’m not interested in debating matters of fact when the references are clear and you persist in advocating clearly false characterizations.
I guess somebody had to cherry pick that line from the 3+ hour long interview, because it makes a good click-bait headline. But there's a lot more to the interview with Fravor than that. I still have over an hour of it left to watch, but I'd already say it's well worth watching.

And don't get me wrong: I'm not some "UFO believer" or member of the "UFO community" or anything. I'm a skeptic by nature and I'm definitely a skeptic when it comes to some of the more radical claims made by ufologist types: the "extraterrestrial hypothesis" in particular.

But Fravor does come off a very reasonable, intelligent, level-headed, sincere witness to something highly unusual. And he makes a point of distancing himself from claims of, as he puts it, "little green men". That said, he also allows that what he saw is not, as far as he knows, possible with any human technology.

Net-net, if you enjoy this kind of thing, regardless of whether or not you have any pre-existing biases regarding what UFO's "really are", I'd recommend this podcast episode. At the very least, it's a chance to hear first-hand testimony by a very credible witness to something extraordinary.

I wish there was a tool that combined the information output of godbolt with the rest of repl.it features for C++. I would pay for such a tool.
This is fascinating, do you have any particular examples of the last paragraph especially? Not saying I don't believe you, but I'm very curious.
False dichotomy. (Uh, quadricotomy?)

You can do a whiteboard interview without doing leet code. Do an actual coding interview (whether whiteboard or not). Don't do credentials-only. Don't do a lottery. And make sure you don't fall for a BS artist.

But in your coding interview, don't do leet code. Just give a regular coding problem. Not a big one, not a long one, not an especially tricky one. Then watch them code, and listen. (Ask them to think out loud - it's important to understand how they think.) That's all it takes.
"Young people are just smarter." is what he said in 2007, I think he would be careful so that he would not say anything that controversial again.

Cloud9 used to be my primary development environment for anything Node-based or intended for the web. Loved the features and the anywhere-access of an online IDE. Then Amazon bought it and effectively removed their free-tier by billing you for the AWS hours the environment took to run (I know there is an AWS free tier but it is one-time and expires after a year). When looking around for a replacement Repl.it was the only other thing remotely close in features.

The only two issues that I ran into was not having the ability to run local DBs and Chrome reporting the web preview page for my replit as containing malware and not letting me load it. C9 basically just dropped you to a Linux shell where you could install and run your own copy of Mongo or Postgres. This seems like it would satisfy a lot of use cases and running your DB on an external provider isn't too tough anyway. The second issue is probably just par for the course when allowing user executed code and web content to be hosted from your servers although I never got hit with the same on Cloud9.

Link to original report https://projectsouth.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/OIG-ICDC...

Some testimonies from said report:

"Everybody he sees has a hysterectomy—just about everybody. He’s even
taken out the wrong ovary on a young lady [detained immigrant woman].
She was supposed to get her left ovary removed because it had a cyst on
the left ovary; he took out the right one. She was upset. She had to go back
to take out the left and she wound up with a total hysterectomy. She still
wanted children—so she has to go back home now and tell her husband
that she can’t bear kids… she said she was not all the way out under
anesthesia and heard him [doctor] tell the nurse that he took the wrong
ovary."

"She was locked up in lockdown cells in E4 where the treatment was
absolutely terrible. She was locked up with no right to commissary, no
right to communicate with her family for many days, she had no right to
use the microwave to prepare her food for two days. The rest of the time
she was there, she was only allowed to go out for 15 minutes in the
morning and 15 minutes in the afternoon, depending on the guard who
was there because there were days where she was not permitted to leave at
all. During the day, she asked the guards for water and was denied many
times, during her isolation in the cell she never had cleaning products to
keep the space clean, the shower water was extremely hot and this
prevented her from correctly completing her personal cleaning. She only
received personal hygiene products once (four small bar soaps, four tubes
of toothpastes, four bottles of body wash, and two toothbrushes) that were
not enough for the whole period of time that she was isolated. The
treatment by the guards is humiliating and since she doesn’t speak English
they make fun of her. She came out after 22 days of psychological,
physical, and emotional torture."
Well it's referring to "us," of course.
They are implemented the same, but they aren't the same type. Notably, each parameterization of varchar (or char) is its own type. This can cause issues when trying to change the length parameter. For this reason I prefer to use TEXT with a CHECK constraint.
TBH his statement doesn't seem that unreasonable -- he's basically stating that the attacker already had all the knowledge necessary to be "credible" and no different than a normal client.

Eg if the attacker already has your phone, email and password, its not really the bank's fault for giving away your financial details -- the game was lost before it even reached the bank.
Surely we have the ability, we just don’t operate on the timescale required nor would want to invest the amount of resources required. We make significant manipulations of our own ecosystem accidentally all the time.
Which NUC did you end up with?
> it's actually rather hard to ensure decidability

How is it that a single person named Edwin Brady can think of, implement and have a programming language with a decidable type system that is more complex than Swift, working on it part-time?

I'm sorry, I consider a company worth a trillion dollars, sitting on billions of dollars it doesn't know what to spend on, that spends billions per year on R&D, to know the basic properties of the type system their most actively developed programming language uses.

That's just me.
Luxury: I'm out.

I don't need luxury, I just need a reliable and precise steering wheel, shifter, and pedal controllers. Everything else is just dressing. I can supply the PC and monitors.

This doesn't even look like it has motion on the seat. For luxury I expect to move a bit.
In my experience, moving to GitHub probably is a downgrade from a more sophisticated process in terms of functionality—but it somehow lowers the barrier to entry enough for new people to contribute noticeably more. I'm sure there's some interesting psychology there but I don't know enough to theorize; all I can do is relay my observations.

I don't know if there's some way to "partially" move to GitHub—it would be cool if there were some service that synced GitHub issues with a different tracker, for example, but I've never seen that. Perhaps it would become too noisy.

Of course, more contributions might not be a net gain. For each dedicated contributor, you'll also get drive-by PRs and issues that add noise which maintainers have to deal with. I do not know how that trade-off plays out in practice.

So I can't give a definite conclusion about whether GitHub is worth it, but I would be willing to bet that working on GitHub would get you more contributors.
I believe they were planning to lose this election from the outset. Ten Presidents have failed to win a second term in 230 years.
Good point. But it does something to know that an old book of mine will go to a specific requester instead being part of a bulk donation.
This sounds like a database-per-tenant architecture, which is something I'm interested in. Are you having to build a lot of custom tooling to manage that many databases? Does the existing repl.it code make it easy to just spin up an extra docker container for each session? Or are there off-the-shelf tools that make this easy?
I can see that. It's a good enough reason for me.

In my head, I imagined it like boiling impurities out of liquid. Get the glass hot and melty, the impurities and glass separate due to different melting points, blah blah, blah.

But if that doesn't happen and it doesn't affect the integrity of the glass too much, I can see the "Screw it" attitude of just letting it be.
If that was the reason, we'd know about it from the PR release. This must have been a failure.
Interesting if true. Chances of a real investigation to determine if true: approximately zero. It is too political. Maybe in 50-ish years we can have an impartial inquiry into this.
Boy oh boy as a car enthusiast this stuff makes me nervous for Aston's future. There's absolutely nothing wrong with brands having these separate businesses by attaching their names to things(ahem Ferrari aftershave), but Aston has gone off the deep end in the past few years involving itself power-boats, luxury high-rise buildings and all sorts of marketing schemes while its core products have stagnated. These side-shows are an effortless way for companies to fool themselves into thinking they are doing real work but, to me at least, it looks like they have ignored their core products. The new DBX is promising, but the Vantage is comically overpriced for its segment I don’t think their DB11s are exactly walking out the showrooms
C++ is relatively easy to code in a plain way that don't blow up in your face. It's just that java made much more business sense with GC, stack trace, safe objects and built-in security model.
Sure. I meant in the sense that if you just said execution without context, you'd simply expect that we'd be talking about mastering inputs. This requires a body of knowledge established completely outside of the game itself.
> A phone holds intellectual property and digital information, perhaps belonging to other people.

And a house can't? Not to belabor the obvious, but houses often contain phones, along with other storage media holding a wide range of digital information. The phone, like the house, is still your physical property, regardless of any information it may contain.
Attack sharks should easily solve the problem. In fact I heard that Steve Balmer himself was seen under the water, frolicking among his peers.
Definitely. But costs do add up if you go thru alot.
You can't just say that without including a link :P

Anyways, I assume that the following is what you are referring to: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberry...

In that case, the following from the linked page might be worth making note of:

> To enable USB host boot mode, the Raspberry Pi needs to be booted from an SD card with a special option to set the USB host boot mode bit in the one-time programmable (OTP) memory. Once this bit has been set, the SD card is no longer required. Note that any change you make to the OTP is permanent and cannot be undone.

Not that it matters much to me but still something worth being aware of if you later try to repurpose your RPi for something else I think.
Not to mention the built-in advantage of Intel's much better supported QuickSync video encode/decode if you're doing any sort of media streaming.
I meant in the sense that if you just said execution without context, you'd simply expect that we'd be talking about mastering inputs. This requires a body of knowledge established completely outside of the game itself.
But it makes no sense to attribute the personal decision of the employee into the carbon footprint. Because paying a high salary does not require that the person take airplane vacations. Some don't. And for those that do, they would have the option to pay to reverse or offset those emissions.

Should the company also reduce their carbon footprint calculations since paying employees more will make then more likely to own a tesla or other electric?
I like how you pulled out that one piece that is politically motivated without addressing the more apolitical fines or lawsuits. None of that has existed in relation to Obama as far as I'm aware. And it isn't like Republicans would let Obama slide on something if there was any chance to call him out for it.

> Almost by definition consumption means value has been exchanged not lost.

Consumption is value that is lost by definition, there is no “almost” about it. Value is either consumed or not. If it is not consumed, it can be saved or invested in capital. Investment in capital (when successful) multiplies value because the capital makes labor more productive, meaning more value is created.

> Equally fallacious. There's no way payday loans are multiplying value, for instancr. They're simply extracting it.

Payday loans are extractive and this does not contradict anything I have said.
In none of the articles do I see the power consumption of the pod..

But it looks packed with a lot of servers, and the surface area is quite minimal given there don't appear to be any cooling fins/etc.

So, that many servers are definitely many KW of power, and its all being conducted away via what appears to be a fairly minimal surface area. So the problem probably isn't the exterior so much as the interior which appears to mostly be a air->paint interface.

So, whats the cooling mechanism here, or are the servers that low power?
