What scares me is the sheer amount of conspiracy stuff on Facebook. My dad is on Facebook, he's 80, and the stuff he talks to me about on the phone is just amazing. I initially thought it was only him, but then my sister-in-law's mom started sending me videos, and I was faced with the same crazy stuff.

I'm not sure what groups my dad is in or how they contact him, but damn there are a lot of old folks talking about all the same crazy stuff. I really wish Facebook would address some of this crazy nonsense. I can't tell you the number of times I've had to tell my dad that it is not George Soros or Bill Gates behind the conspiracy.

Sorry for rambling on...

CD Projekt Red's amazing execution and story-telling on Witcher 3 earned them a lot of faith. I think that's where most of the hype is coming from, rather than from what's in the trailers or even gameplay videos.
> I'm one of those people whose livelihoods was negatively impacted by all that, and for a long time I really didn't like him. He is doing amazing work now, but it is pretty hard to get past that.

I'm totally with you there but over the years I've come to make peace with that. My pain and those of my colleagues really pale in comparison to the good he's done for the needy of the world. He's neither the most ruthless business leader the world has seem and certainly not the worse and mean spirited person in computing. Over the years, he has proven himself to be among the most generous. Maybe not having used Windows in a decade and seeing Microsoft having real competition has helped with the "forgiving".
Some people have nothing interesting or valuable to say, they just always talk about race. Somehow everything becomes about race, even things which have nothing to do with race.
For a development vehicle,I am assuming they bypassed the car's stock functionality I am sure they had their own braking system that was supposed to stop for cars, pedestrians, cyclists etc. It didnt function currently at that time
It makes sense because holding users personally responsible for the inadequacies of self-driving products externalizes all the risk for companies selling self-driving systems. The Uber system detected something in the road and proceeded because it did not recognize it. That's how it is designed. Otherwise the car would never go very far without stopping because the system does not recognize most things it detects.

To put it another way, the self-driving system did not alert the driver that it had detected something and did not know what it was. It wasn't an emergency, it was the car's normal operation.
Because it pushes the CUDA ecosystem into dominance of yet another platform. You can run your acceleration routine on anything from a smartphone/raspberry pi to an enterprise accelerator, one algorithm. And it will be everywhere, a defacto capability of most reference-implementation ARM devices.

(and sure opencl too but that's too loose a standard to have any platform effect, it's just a standard that everyone implements a little differently and needs to be ported to their own compiler/hardware/etc, so there is no common codebase and toolchain that everyone can use like with CUDA.)

Everyone laughed at Huang saying that NVIDIA is a software company. He was right.
This is sincerely meant, but if you consider 2 and 1, isn't that a description of progressive taxation in the modern, regulated-capitalist, social-democratic welfare state?

(btw, I made that description up to try and describe the kinds of states I'm referring to. e.g. the USA once was in that category and no longer is in my view, while many European countries probably are in that category).

EDIT: I'd like to point out, I'm assuming no/little corruption. i.e. the theoretical view of such a state.
The WSJ is not immune to the cycle. Based on this analysis,

Wokeist trends usually originate in the WaPo, percolate through the NYT and eventually end up in the WSJ, all happening predictably with a time lag of 2-5 years
You probably should just pass unless you have other prospects asking for this. It's going to be quite a bit of time, effort, and money. You could also explain your situation and hope for the best.

Much less so than any owner of Twitter, Google or Facebook is anyway. Microsoft is just selling unopinionated software to all businesses in the world. Out of all FAANG they’re the least politically aligned.
That was the first thing I wondered about as well. I can see how making the UI for multiple people would be trickier.

Just like in real life, multiple people working out creates accountability, having multiple people in a home able to use it in tandem would make it much much stickier than without.
This is true, but also it would be good if the JS environments stopped doing that.

When I'm at work, I'm almost the only person who is not (yet) a homeowner. When I'm with my friends, I'm almost the only person who makes more than $X and might be a home owner in the next 5 years.

You not talking to poor people is not the absence of poor people existing.
> Is Pebble/CockroachDB capable of saturating the backplane with requests in parallel?

Yes.

> Does it multiplex a single query by dispatching smaller requests to a thread-pool?

Yes, though it depends on the query. Trivial queries (i.e. single-row lookups) are executed serially as that is the fastest way to execute them. Complex queries are decomposed along data boundaries and the query parts are executed in parallel next to where the data is located.

I’ll add one more red flag: your team is comprised mostly of contractors [1]. This is a common occurrence in big-co corporate engineering. Often times, this indicates that tech comes third fiddle to sales and accounting and that you will not only work with every enterprise-y tool you can think of, but you’ll work crap hours with little time for learning.

[1] This doesn’t apply for those new to tech or, well, contractors!
Maybe the cost of the robot..? It wouldn’t be cheap I guess.. but yeah definitely a great application of robotics.
Fantastic job on these.

I love how you've created such a wide range of logos that are all quite unique, but at the same time fit within the overall aesthetic of the world.
Ah, that'll be it. Your web host actually already supports https, but in a broken way.

There will be cheap fleets and more expensive fleets, just as there is UberX, UberBlack and UberSelect. You could also imagine a BMW fleet that offers specific models only if you are an established frequent customer, so people can show off that they didn't just upgrade for this occasion but always travel in style.

Of course there are still plenty of edge cases where individual car ownership is nessesary, whether that's because too few cars of that type would be booked to make a fleet viable (Rolls-Royce) or because you are in a very rural area.
I think OP is referencing how cameras (especially the cheap ones used in dash cams) don’t do a good job in lowlight conditions.
Do Scientific American really think that Biden is more important than Lincoln? Or why else would they say that they refused to endorse Lincoln but now endorse Biden? I can understand them endorsing Biden, but saying "First time in 175 years" just makes it ridiculous. This election is not nearly as important or divise as the 1860 election.

Edit: My point is that 175 years ago the paper was run by other people. So to me it seems more likely that the people at this paper got more and more political over time until now that they fully endorse one candidate. It is fine to endorse one candidate, but talking as if this is a once in 175 year election is not honest.
Historically, a mob of angry people after their pleas go unheard for too long, like the French Revolution.

Sound familiar?
Has anyone else had serious issues with web.archive.org over the past 6-7 months? I've been experiencing total failures probably 20-30% of the time when I try to archive something, and sometimes even a seemingly successful archival job points to a dead link after indicating completion.

...and that's in addition to things running incredibly slowly in general even when it is functioning properly.
Sigh. If only. Do you know what happened with Crimea in 2014 - and what was going on in Debaltsevo, Donetsk region, Ukraine, in February 2015?
Well, 20 pedestrians die on American roads every day. It's incredibly common. The cops usually don't even bother looking for evidence. This idiot live-streamed himself killing a pedestrian in San Francisco, after months of filling up his Instagram with motorized jackassery, and the cops only charged him with manslaughter, not negligent homicide.

I can only hope that my children will talk like this about me some day.
This conspiracy theory really angers me, like almost on a personal level. I've actually cut all ties to a friend who started spreading it on FB. I first tried to show them how insane it is and thought I'd succeeded, but they seemed to continue to feed off of antivaxxer propaganda and soon began sharing that crap again. After a second attempt I just gave up.
I was the guy who posted the "ISS repeater on 437.8 Mhz" article. Likewise, I was surprised that I managed to catch a minute or so of audio from the repeater using my handheld Baofeng BF-F8HP. I wasn't even really expecting it.. I'd had the radio out earlier in the day when I was programming the new repeater info in with Chirp, then I stuck it back on the charger and left it... unintentionally leaving it both "on" and on that channel. A few hours later I was in the other room and heard noise from the room where the radio was charging and jumped up and ran in there, and realized I was hearing people talking on the ISS repeater.

I grabbed the radio and ran outside to try and get a contact on the repeater myself, but no luck. :-(

Still, just hearing it was kinda cool in its own right.

Edit: as luck would have it, the ISS just passed over about 5 minutes ago. I went outside ahead of time to wait for it, and I caught a bit of audio, but wasn't able to make any contact myself. I think I waited a little to long to try, out of fear of walking on somebody else (per the earlier discussion, I don't have a radio with cross-band full duplex capability). Oh well... live and learn. And I'll buy a better radio at some point.
My father died just over 7 years ago. I think about and miss him every day. I am supremely grateful that I had a father that demanded well of me and was honorable.

My sincerest condolences and prayers to Mr. Gates’s family and friends. What a gift to have had such a long life and a good relationship with those he loved.
Intent matters. The state has to provide criminal negligence, which in most states requires very risky behavior.

Driving while watching a video certainly qualifies normally, but purely hypothetically, if Uber had internally said it was totally safe to drive distracted, then maybe she has a defense.
If your page has 100 of these 128 bit strings in them then it's even clearer that its a link farm page that can be downranked
My chatlogs from then show that this was first discovered on an IRC channel and then I notified the V author as soon as I could.

The article say the collision happened at 39mph. Was that over the limit for that location?

If so, the (design of the) automated car should be partly at fault. Self-drive cars should never exceed a speed limit.

The defense attorney can argue that if the car had gone at legal speed for the location, the driver would have had more time to react, while the victim might have survived a slower impact. To which the prosecutor might reply, the safety driver had responsibility to keep the speed legal, along with everything else.
Nobody wants to run CUDA anymore. All the mobile SoCs jumped right over that one and have AI coprocessors now. CUDA is what runs on the developer workstation, not the "edge device" as they call it. Like there was a tiny window of software supremacy there, then everyone remembered how matrix multiplication works.
I'm not sure I believe that. War doesn't usually end until one side surrenders in a way the other side is willing to accept.

If all you have left to fight with is improvised weapons, then it continues with that.

I would argue that very expensive, complex machines are the Tiger tank mistake all over again. Mechanically unreliable because of the complexity, but when it worked it was completely unmatched. One Tiger tank defeated 50 Russian tanks in the battle of Kursk, if I remember correctly.

But the cheaper, mass produced tanks of the allies won out because they could be fielded in much greater numbers.
interesting note, thanks for sharing it.

As someone who buys and sells a lot of equipment and machine tools having someone sell to someone else after you have a deal is far more infuriating than getting "oh but I would have paid 20% more" after you sealed a deal.
What’s the “Chrome with more wayland support” part about? Why wouldn’t that be in all builds of linux-chromium, since major distros are trying to (or already) transition to Wayland? Is there something weird about exosphere that normal Wayland doesn’t support?
True, and there was Kosovo also.
I hope he does.

All I can say is he should go for it.
What companies, and what are those instruments?

I'm sincerely curious, I have worked in tech for 20 years, and while some companies are active in trying to make sure teams work well together, I've never seen one that had specific systems for keeping tensions in check - maybe it's because I've worked for <1000 people companies?
Not all the way down to <5W TDP but Orin goes down to 5W.

No an entrepreneur in a room before raising money can easily be worth millions and that typically what happens. The workers come to help scale the business but to say they get nothing is untrue. They don't take as much risk and their share should be what they negotiate for.

The fact is thats exactly what a price or wage is. Fideling with prices because you personally don't like the number two people determined what a worker is worth typically ends in disaster. No matter who it is who trying to price adjust they are usually to ignorant of all parts of the business the to know enough to pick a correct wage or price for labor.

Yep. I genuinely think that teenagers play games because nothing else in their life is so rewarding.

I was hooked until I got my first real job, and I guess the thrill of creating something of your own and seeing it produce results was a delayed gratification no game can match.

That being said, I do love a good story, and gaming has really become a creative outlet for visual storytelling. I can recommend Disco Elysium to anyone.
I want to know what these people are buying that doesn’t have sales tax on it and then taxes on the people who made it.
It can be difficult to do the guild structure in such a small organization. Not impossible but difficult, as many different people tend to play a diverse set of roles.

At least, that's how it's been in my career. Prove me wrong!

Edit: here's a classic from Spotify, which is much larger but potentially relevant: https://blog.crisp.se/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/SpotifyScal...
The chrome books of 2013 which are still receiving updates (mine does, at least) are quite limited - 2GB of ram including video memory, 32 bit arm, 16GB flash, not expendable (very typical chrome book for the time, two hundred bucks). The things from that time that run Windows acceptably are those that have had their ram and disk upgraded, or were high end at the time.
I'm worried that the surveillance footage will be used to prove tenets commited a litany of frivolous tiny "violations", available to the landlord on a less than a whim, only a click, while if footage were to prove my innocence on a matter, they'll do everything in their power to delay...
IF the engineers told the driver, "Hey, we disabled pretty much all the safety features on your vehicle because we can't figure out how to make them work -- so be Extra Careful!!!" --- well, maybe. But shifting the blame onto a low-wage worker to shield Corporate Hubris seems....wrong.
In SV fundraising deals, going back on a handshake is considered pretty bad behavior. Investors stand to lose many future deals if they break one without a darn good reason. Discovering a serious misrepresentation is such a reason, but seeing a better deal elsewhere is not.

The point of handshake deals is to give everyone time to get the details right, without the pressure of having the deal stolen. Forcing parties to rush through the details damages the whole ecosystem, so everyone is motivated to encourage everyone else to respect handshake deals.
> they had retaliated in this way

We don't know exactly why they banned Christine.

There's some evidence that Christine is not fully honest, for example:

* they did not mention this post https://web.archive.org/web/20191223200601/https://christine... which is very rude in my opinion, and unprofessional

* Christine mentioned they blocked them from contributing while in fact Christine contributed zero code to the project during the year they were blogging about the project
it wasn't a time when there seemed to be a big ideological axe to grind

So, neoliberal intervensionism and bombing for human rights happened in a vacuum?

There has never been a time when people did not have ideological axes to grind and this period was one of the launching pads for the Project for a New American Century.
I'm not particularly knowledgable about housing so I could be wrong here - but if another 2008/2009 happens, you can just keep the house and wait for prices to recover. There are some assumptions baked in:

- Either you don't plan on moving or you can cover a substantial amount of your mortgage from rental income if you do move.

- You're not overleveraged. If you lose your job or take a pay cut due to a recession, you can still continue making mortgage payments on your house without risk of foreclosure.

Caveat: There are probably some areas where housing prices never fully recovered after the 2008 financial crisis. But there also areas like the SF Bay Area, where the housing market is doing well even in the midst of wildfires, a pandemic, and tech employees fleeing the area in U-Haul trucks. As with all investments, nothing is guaranteed. For what it's worth, your run of the mill index fund would have taken a huge hit in 2008 as well. It wasn't just the housing market.
Haha. I can't imagine them jumping on the fear bandwagon.
Oh my god this has to be a troll, right? Basecamp was just kidding. They're probably not even a $1B business. They made some great tech but this is very misleading.
He was really good at obtaining compromising information of the most wealthy individuals around the world.
As systems become more reliable, it becomes progressively harder for humans to stay focused and maintain the concentration required to respond in the way this driver was expected to respond.

Yes, the driver is at fault for failing to maintain vigilance, but the engineers who built this system are far more at fault for designing a system whose operating parameters (long stretches of nothing to do culminating in either more nothing to do or a sudden life or death emergency requiring full concentration to detect and process and prevent) are well outside the operating envelope of the human in the system.

The driver was hired to perform a task that was almost guaranteed to result in a deadly injury while some driver was behind the wheels. She didn't have any way to know that, but the engineers did.
Whats to follow is completely anecdotal. I had a job at a decent/high salary in an expensive city. I moved and took a pay cut, to about an average salary in a much cheaper city. I feel significantly "richer" then before.
I think the "more money is always better" is simply false. Its ultimately about how much money you make _after_ rent/mortgage. where rent should be equalized for equivalent housing. My $300k 5 bedroom house would be > 2mil in SF. A 2x or even 3x salary doesn't even begin to bridge the gap.
Bear in mind that the Starbucks you're probably thinking of, when you think "Starbucks", was created largely by Schulz after that acquisition happened. This story took place in 1987.

I’m in agreement with you. On re-reading my earlier comment I realize it could be interpreted either way, but I meant “people reacting as if you have an awful take...” rather than “people like you have an awful take...”

No, this is the danger we are in. People are letting the "marketplace of ideas" try to sort things out. However, this is like letting a disease ravage a population until it achieves herd immunity. If it has no natural immunity, it never will. Humans do NOT have a natural immunity to propaganda. They are carriers for it. We are the mosquitos of the malarial swamp of misinformation that is plaguing the planet currently.

Many folks at Facebook know the terrible plight we are in. But there are enough people not wanting to rock the boat currently that they have not felt the urgency to change. It feels like we are reaching a breaking point, though.
+1 Very well said. I've actually experience this first hand while interviewing for one of the FAANGs. I have a background with embedded software engineering, working with C/C++, and working with low level I/O and bare-metal + using RTOS, and also Unix/Linux, and the position I was being interviewed for was for an "Embedded Developer." The job description described the role working on their RTOS. During the phone interview, the interviewer asked a question that (later I found out) can only be solved optimally using splay trees or red-black trees.

I have worked in the embedded industry for 6 years, and have worked on a wide variety of projects (from WiFi to drones/airplanes to medical devices), and have never needed to use this, yet the interviewer expected me to know this.

Anecdotally speaking, when recruiters throw this kind of curve balls, it's because they already have someone in mind for that position and are interviewing candidates just to fill paperwork.
