so what? oracle acquires a flavor of the month platform.. it'll be a "remember when" type of story, in 2-3 years, when everyone is just starting to forget tiktok
Same here.

Yep, and it "just works" with Google Drive, which is amazing.

FWIW, you can stream at 10Gbps to TPUs. (I've done it.)

10Gbps isn't quite 40Gbps, but I think you can get there by streaming to a few different TPUs on different VPC networks. Or to the same TPU from different VMs, possibly.

The point is that there's a realistic alternative to nVidia's monopoly.
Curry and कढ़ी are false cognates, AFAIK.

According to Wikipedia [1]:
"Curry is an anglicised form of the Tamil word kaṟi meaning 'sauce' or 'relish for rice' that uses the leaves of the curry tree (Murraya koenigii). The word kari is also used in other Dravidian languages, namely in Malayalam, Kannada and Kodava with the meaning of "vegetables (or meat) of any kind (raw or boiled), curry". Kaṟi is described in a mid-17th century Portuguese cookbook by members of the British East India Company, who were trading with Tamil merchants along the Coromandel Coast of southeast India, becoming known as a "spice blend ... called kari podi or curry powder". The first known appearance in its anglicised form (spelled currey) appears in a 1747 book of recipes published by Hannah Glasse."

Another theory suggests the same root, but a longer journey via Portuguese settlers:
Tamil 'kaṟi' -> Portuguese 'carel' -> English 'curry'

> Not sure what you want from Apple here. Is it to port their entire iOS/OSX SDK to Linux just to support the 0.000001% of users who would want to develop that way.

Who is using BEA software now? How is Siebel faring against SFDC? (I honestly don't know, wishing to have nothing to do with either.)

Peoplesoft was pretty entrenched when Oracle bought it, and the state of other options in that field remains pretty grim.

The TMS570 has a decent amount of computing power on it for a microcontroller. The CPU core itself seems pretty solid. Unfortunately, the peripheral set is incredibly painful to develop for because it's riddled with poorly thought out registers and silicon bugs.

For low volume stuff, the chance of a detectable miscalculation occuring in the field is low, while the chance of a firmware bug causing a failure is high. Using a TMS570 for a hobby project would be a very poor choice. With a sufficiently high volume project, though, the development pain can be worth it.

The redundant cross checked CPU cores gives you piece of mind that the thing will self-diagnose a miscalculation and report it, rather than go off into the weeds. It enables you to responsibly design safety critical fault tolerant systems based on explicit handoff from one MCU to another. Without the cross checking, you can't trust a single MCU to act rationally; in designs like that, you typically need more than two MCUs with majority voting circuitry. So the TMS570 can help reduce total system complexity at the cost of lower level firmware pain.
From the article:

> There are fossils, of course. But the fraction of life that gets fossilized is always minuscule and varies a lot depending on time and habitat. It would be easy, therefore, to miss an industrial civilization that lasted only 100,000 years—which would be 500 times longer than our industrial civilization has made it so far.
Something sounds fishy about this. What exactly were the 7 engineers doing during this time? And none of them thought to Google it or call support?

TBH, I won't claim I know the best way to do this, but I'm 100% sure a call to Amazon support would sort things out. Copying data between buckets is common enough I'm sure they have a good way to handle this.
Lost as in it is consumed. Seeds that are eaten are turned into calories/protein/fat. If these bioresources are not used to produce more resources (thats investment) then they are consumed and they go back into nature as heat loss or decomposed organic matter. Seeds that are planted result in another seed-producing-plant.

> If I spend $50k in cash on a car, I give up the $50k in cash in return for a $50k car. And that $50k payment go to the car company to pay employees and invest in future R&D.

If you use that car to make money (e.g. commute to a job) then it was an investment and it contributes to your income (return on investment). If you drive the car on the track exclusively as recreation, you enjoy the experience (consumption) but the car experiences mechanical wear and eventually breaks down into components.

These are economic identities, if you get a return on your investment then it was a wise investment, if you do not then it was consumption.

From the perspective of the car manufacturer the factory/raw material/etc. was an investment and the $50k you spent on the car is their return. They wouldn’t get that return if they had not invested in a factory because they preferred to consume those resources.
Why don't you post sources as to why it's right first?

In my opinion jugaad isn't always bad. See this for example (1), this is 100% jugaad IMO.

It's only bad when you have the resources to do something and yet you choose the shit way to do it.

This method is much, much worse for security. It's literally the worst possible thing that you could do.

The easy way is decently secure: if you tick the checkbox, it memorises the certificate serial number for you, the same as if you had manually trusted a self-signed cert. Any change to the certificate will show the warning again. This is comparable to trusting an SSH certificate the first time you connect to a host with Putty.

The best way is to issue RDP Certificates from an Enterprise PKI: They're free, you never get warning popups ever again, and they're secure.

Your method means that if the certificate changes (due to a MitM attack), you won't notice. The warning looks the same with a new certificate as an old certificate that you didn't choose to trust. You're 100% vulnerable and you've both hidden an a warning for an actual attack and also trained yourself to ignore all such warnings.
Funny, I think it’s gone way up. There was a dark period around 2015.
I didn’t downvote, but that’s quite a strong claim which would definitively benefit from at least one supporting source.
Because it doesn't add anything except negativity to the discussion. There's no nuance, no sources, no reason why I should believe it. It's just a short, purely negative retort in the face of positive news.
I would highly recommend reading Brain of the Firm by Stafford Beer.

It’s the most fantastic layman’s introduction to cybernetics, written from the perspective of the economist behind the “Cyber” in the Chilean CyberSyn project (1970-3).

I discovered him reading People’s Republic of Walmart, another fantastic book about how effective socialist strategies for centralized government are applied in piecemeal to the largest corporations on the globe.

Highly, highly recommended—-and yes, I believe it’s valuable to learn about cybernetics. It teaches us that we don’t need more computers, or faster computers—-we need to use computers in different ways. Basically, we’ve already got the solutions to our problems, but we don’t implement them because we’re trapped by classic civilizational barriers (it’s hard to change people’s minds in the face of a culture that doesn’t want their minds to change).
With proper profiling (say, reservoir sampling of instructions causing pipeline stalls), and dynamic recompilation/reoptimization like IBM's project DAISY / HP's Dynamo, you may get performance near a modern out-of-order desktop processor at the power budget of a modern in-order low-power chip.

You get instructions scheduled based on actual dynamically measured usage patterns, but you don't pay for dedicated circuits to do it, and you don't re-do those calculations in hardware for every single instruction executed.

It's not a guaranteed win, but I think it's worth exploring.
I work as a government contractor. We've fixed bugs in OSS that we've used, but been unable to contribute the fixes back. This is a huge hassle because we are now on a fork and have to deal with merges from upstream, it will get worse over time.

More recently I developed a missing (in my view) extension to a piece of software. Too make this OSS-able would take a few extra hours and I wouldn't mind doing that step on my own time. But that's a nope.

So we can use OSS, we can modify OSS, but we can't contribute PRs or new software. At least for the three letter agency I work with. Lots of the type of applications being developed in the public sector aren't really any different then private sector. They take data in, they do something with it, and they output data. If the software doesn't require a security clearance, you should be able open source it IMO or at least contribute PRs.
Well I guess you could ask the landlord? I think you might want to look into a rental agency.

Bed bugs is a tricky one, maybe look into some traps, toss the sheets when you get into the room and look for blood spots(I'm sure there are travel blogs with more advice on this).

Wifi is probably decent most places, Texas is a populous state so there has been quite a lot of investment in connectivity.

As far as AC goes, Texas is warm but I was there in May a couple years back and needed to put on a sweater so I wouldn't make that a priority considering summer is almost over.

You could always get a hotel for the first week, then view a few places once you get to your town, this will allow you to check out the neighborhoods and find one that fits your lifestyle.

If you're moving to the DFW, they have a really good transit system with rail connecting the three major cities. I believe it was called DART or Dallas Area Rapid Transit.

It appears Oracle is a “tech partner” in this acquisition.

Isn’t this virtually identical to the Chinese model? For example, NetEase is the tech partner for Blizzard, GCBD for Apple’s iCloud, Sinnet for AWS, who does Microsoft partner with?

This appears to be a working model that the Chinese government will support. I wonder if other nations will start to adopt it.
Percona is not really a fork, it's the upstream MySQL (8 currently) with some patches which add more visibility to what's going on inside (and some performance stuff like the thread pool).
Such deal could certainly benefit both players. Hence my question.
In addition, it's not even a valid argument if the cost was entirely in cash.

One would be making the argument, "the cost is essentially free because although we spent $40B, we acquired a company worth $40B". Obviously, that's not any more correct than the case of paying in stock.

> matters that individual Deplorables cannot (practically) observe themselves.

During this pandemic, the deplorables continued to farm and deliver food, keeping us alive while the elites burned our cities down. (Dr. VDH.)

The deplorables voted in Trump because the elites couldn't be bothered enforcing immigration (the wall) or maintaining factory jobs in the USA (outsourcing to China.) (Dr. VDH.)

So I would suggest you develop an understanding of how our country was hollowed out before criticizing the very people the elites destroyed financially.

Regarding religion, at the moment, our young people worship Tinder hookups and Instagram selfies, the twin gods of narcissism, instead of Jesus, resulting in the total destruction of the family unit. How's that working out? (RPMH)

FYI: you sound exactly like the coastal elites that got us into this mess. The California HSR is a perfect example of how worthless they are - all hot air, no rail.

FOSS is a Commons, in my opinion every organization, government and company should use it as much as possible and invest in it a fraction of their IT budget, even if just 1%.

This would add up to resolve the current FOSS funding problems and the FOSS ecosystem would thrive.

They could do it by hiring developers or FOSS companies and/or funding targeted to the projects they use with a subscription like Tidelift.
The only company I’ve ever seen take these requirement seriously is Transferwise. I have a very common last name and similarly common-ish business name and they had to have me say I wasn’t related to a bunch of politicians I’d never heard or nor associated with a bunch of similar companies.

This keyword stuff is no kind of protection for them, especially if their own reps are advising people to just circumvent the list, which itself probably is a TOS violation.
Not so. Their engineering core is in San Jose, CA.

Thank you! Likewise, I don't actually want to WFH except for the fact that there's a pandemic and it's the responsible thing to do given that I'm able to. It's getting tiring explaining this to management- the argument somehow becomes about WFH during non-pandemic times.

I’m not sure I understand. This study doesn’t really seem to distinguish between what the economist says it’s distinguishing.

The economist appears to be arguing that this study indicates that elite colleges lead to higher wages due to signaling and not the quality of education.

However, the study basically compares the wages of people who scored about the same in the standardized exams after separating those who made it into the elite colleges and those who didn’t. The ones who made it into the elite colleges appeared to make more money than those who didn’t.

So basically, this study tells us that going to an elite college helped someone make more money than someone else who had about the same intelligence (as defined by their standardized test scores to enter the college) but went to a non elite college.

However, unlike what the economist is claiming, this does not tell us whether this effect is because of signaling, or because the quality of education is better. The economist claims that the study indicates its signaling, but the higher earnings could very well be explained by better instruction in the elite colleges as well.

I also suspect those who went to elite colleges feel far more pressure to inflate their reported earnings relative to those who didn’t.

If income tax was not progressive, is there any reason to believe laborers would just get paid more to make up for how much they get taxed?

Isn't that way electricians make more in SF than they do in Memphis Tennessee? Isn't that why engineers get paid more in California, but have to take a pay cut if they work remote from Ohio?

This makes me wonder how effective the progressive tax system is.
Judging that just several years ago Soviets managed to starve another million of their citizens, I'd say Einstein was utterly naive.
Recruiters want to optimize for success (because it means they’ll get commission) so they rely on easy low-effort proxy signals like school name and referrals within the company to help filter who they engage with during their limited time for the hiring process. As a broad rule of thumb, it works even if there are false positives and false negatives.
I like Jugaad as the quick prototypical research tool. Cliché but it has its place as the pirates' way. It is a means (not an end) that needs to graduate to the ways of the Navy.

Consumption taxes can be made arbitrarily progressive. Imagine a hypothetical one where the rate on spending below $1,000,000 a year is 0% and 200% after that point. There's a reason why the wording is specifically "a progressive tax on consumption."
Holy shit this is huge. Did anyone see this coming?!?

They said a mask won't prevent you from getting it or prevent spread. Just wash your hands. It didn't make much sense to me that respiratory virus wasn't transmissible through the air, but I washed my hands like they said. The Trump tapes prove they knew about its air spread as late as early February. Who knows how many lives this cost? You could argue it may have saved some as well. You can't argue we weren't lied to.
Why not? The winning strategy since the 2000s have been to reinvest all profits into growing the business; not trying to chase juicy margins.

On my domains only Java or .NET stand a chance to win RFPs, and if anything .NET is the one having troubles, because many are unsure what Microsoft actually wants to do with it, and slowly pissed with the multiple rewrites where there is always something left behind.

Alright, these calculations aren't done at the point of consumption but instead the point of production.

The national based calculations hide the global chain of events and the interconnectedness of their economies through marketplaces.

It's a much harder calculation to figure out who's to "blame" for say, the cost of an electronics device that uses a dozen countries to manufacture or say even a food that is sourced in one country, processed in another, packaged in yet another, and then consumed in a fourth...

Do we assign everything to the point of consumption? That's not fair either. Distribute it over each?

That's what we currently do but it problematically hides the relationship. The British are still consuming textiles, they just aren't domestically manufacturing them. They may even still own the plants, they're just in, likely, Bangladesh which is seeing a ~5% annual CO2 increase.

That should matter if those things were made by the demand of British consumers but in our traditional models it doesn't go into Britain's bucket.

That makes it an accounting trick with no clear way to resolve it.

It would be like graphing the number of backyard burials for a culture that moved from the practice of backyard burials to cemeteries and mistaking it as if they somehow vanquished death and are now eternal except in a few very deadly places. We've moved towards globally centralized manufacturing.
