That's not really a fair comparison though because most of those stages are just part of the download stage you glossed over in Windows (I really hate having to browse the web looking for software then having to manually download the thing after I've found what I want).

Also Windows has no managed way to keep applications up to date. Which means you either have to manually repeat all those steps yourself or run background agents for every publisher to keep that software up to date. But by far the most annoying in Windows is software that doesn't check if it's up to date until you run it and then demands you update it there and then (great way to kill productivity). Yet those steps you've exampled is a one time pain and then all software is managed for you. Updates are easy.

I used to be a hardened Slackware user and was prepared to download and often compile my software manually. Then I discovered package managers in Linux and from that point onwards I lost any respect for an OS that didn't manage software for me. It's amazing that it's two decades from me discovering package managers, ten years since iOS App Store was announced, and yet people are still stuck on shitty first party solutions on Windows and macOS (thank god for homebrew et al).

I love to see my pictures online! Sometimes my CC0 pictures are used for news articles and such and I'm really happy to help out with my pictures . I also apply the same ideas when I develop: I always try to use the most open license where applicable.

I feel like sharing is caring - I use open source softwares myself and in turn I try to produce the same high quality software for the world to use.

Remember though that tax revenue is actually dominated by the little guy.

There are some super rich tax evaders who can hide many millions from the IRS, but they are few in number and it will cost millions to recover that money after going through all the obstacles such rich people can afford to put in place.

On the other hand, imagine 100 million people all under-reporting $1200 - that's $120 Billion Dollars, or about 6 NASAs. If you actually had to go after everyone, that would be extremely expensive, but if you go after just a small percentage of people, the rest will be scared into properly reporting their income. We all know one or two people who have run into serious trouble with the IRS: enough that we are familiar with the consequences but not enough that it seems like a common and socially acceptable strategy. This is by design.

With the very wealthy, this strategy doesn't really work. Just because you manage to get one bank in switzerland to hand over some data doesn't mean my bank in the caimans is going to do the same. Even if the IRS were to catch up to me, I can afford to wait to cross that bridge when I come to it. You can take billions from certain people and they will still have net worths greater than some nation states - those who can afford to lose can afford to play the game.

It's also worth noting that the tax code has plenty of loopholes that wealthy people and corporations can use to legitimately reduce their tax burden. IRS recovery isn't going to be able to do anything about that. If you have billions of dollars, you can afford an accountant who will make sure there's nothing for the IRS to go after.

Really changing the funding of the IRS is irrelevant - were we to simplify the tax code to eliminate loopholes and make it easier for people who can't afford armies of accountants to properly pay their taxes we could both collect more money and spend less on recovery. It may be impossible to get congress to actually do that, but anyone talking about playing around with the IRS's funding is just trying to look like they're addressing a problem they really have no intention of solving.

After a couple thousand years of computational evolution, if you don't think there'd be a possible reason for leaving behind massive silicon crystals... Well, you haven't been reading enough science fiction.

If you could grow pure crystals more easily (thinking Diamon Age), why not have giant plates serving as a piezo generator or ambient electromagnetic waveguide harvesters?
Sure, having a privileged key you use with ansible to actually do the thing... but we’re talking about giving the shop access to the box. Not your team of highly trained infrastructure engineers (or bob, who has all his playbooks on a thumb drive for his office). If ansible and non-cloud is your deal, an ssh key (or two: deployments) is fine. I’m just against giving others access to things they could break or worse, leave the door open...
Historically taxes were (and theoretically still should be) collected to finance the government (and, during a war, the military) and not for the redistribution of wealth. Socialism is a different theory, of course...

There’s not that many European families with 3 kids any more. The reproduction rate is somewhat below 2 kids per family - hence all that discussion about shrinking population. Then there’s quite a few options. I can easily hop on the train and go to the beach. It’s even faster than by car and less stressful when traveling with small kids. Or take one of the many rental or car-sharing cars . In Berlin, car owning households are actually a minority.

I was disappointed that the article didn't describe some of the motivating forces behind the basics. I think such concreteness would make more sense for a high school student. As an example, the development of geometry was (at least partly) motivated by the need to restore property lines after the annual flooding of the Nile in Egypt. I have no idea if it is part of an "origin" story for probability but wanting to win at dice games is one motivation for understanding probability. One of my heroes, Grant Sanderson, the creator of 3Blue1Brown is very clear on how the concrete needs to precede the abstract in many of these studies, and y = mx + b is pretty abstract if all you've got is those six symbols.
Is that unit PetaFLOPS/day right? I think it should be PetaFLOPS-day which has dimensions of FLOP (total number of operations), rather than FLOP/time^2.

The cost wouldn't be the cost of the hardware because it still exists afterwards. You'd have to discount it for the amount of time it was in use.
Taste sensitivity and perception is varied among humans and is also dependent on your genes. Cilantro, brussel sprouts, super tasters, etc.
Its all about takeaway, of course something like this might contain some valuable lessons, just like Osbourne Computer provided us with lessons in how not to sell a new product, in effect.

I ask about regrets, because people have them, another valid answer would simply be that they do not regret anything about the situation. Sometimes, when answering the first question, they never get around to talking about this part, which can be equally if not more so valuable.

I don't know how I could phrased this - and given the comment window, for visibility sake - any other way. They're two questions that I genuinely didn't intend to be "charged". I ask the same exact questions at the end of our sprints!

Of course, the human element can be missing a little in a text forum, but I didn't want to accidentally word things in a way that would make someone defensive either, as I couldn't come up with a good way of wording things without introducing my own personal biases and opinions on the matter, which wouldn't have been a way to approach this to get someone to answer objectively (where objective means non defensive and in their own words and thoughts)

First really consider the ask, on its face value, and consider you can always answer the question in the negative, if thats how you really feel.

Thats what I was going for.

Thanks for the tip. I have not tried that.

One thing that I will try as well is to plug the USB-C power cable into the right side of the laptop. I've read that surprisingly CPU utilization goes up when it's plugged in on the left.
Great question, I haven't tested this, yet.

One thing I'm sure would work if the user has generated two separate public-private key pairs and you sign two different certs.

Not so sure about having several certs for the same key.

If I was in that situation, I would probably generate a new cert which contains the concurrent claims and is short-lived, but we also don't have extremely many different roles.
The Smart car brand failed in the US, and the Fiat 500 will be discontinued in the US.

Americans just don't like small cars, (for obvious reasons, as if you are driving next to F-250 and GM Silverados, your car will feel unsafe).

Also, in Cities, registration/parking/insurance cost quiet a bit, and those cars are usually charged full prices for parking.

So, even in metro areas, the difference in total cost between a 13k (super small car) and a 23k midsize/compact car are not that much. If they have to go to the hassle of owning a car, folks in metro areas in the US, prefer a size up

Now, in europe is a total difference. If you have driven in some Italian towns, you would understand that anything larger than a Toyta Corolla/Honda civic, would not fit in many streets and parking would be super hard. By necessity, you have to go down a size.

I know, when I was looking to buy a car for my parent's home in Albania, I had to choose the smallest crossover possible, otherwise it wont be comfortable to drive in the tight roads of my neighborhood. (even VW Tiguan, would be too large).
If you don't the big companies from other nations will take you over and flaunt your laws and regulations seems to be the answer
Not every problem is worth fixing “the right way”.

The internal cost of wasting a packaging box (a few cents a day) is probably hugely surpassed by the value of increasing quality.

You have to consider the opportunity cost of the Root Cause Analysis and the potential fix, along with shutting down the line to implement it. Compare that to the cost of the fan fix.

Just because you could do Root Cause Analysis doesn’t mean you should go through with it. YAGNI
Sure, but they don't necessarily need such big ones. Big cars are primarily a consumer preference thing in the US rather than an actual need, and consumer preferences can change, both organically and due to outside pressure (the 70s oil crisis did reduce the size of American cars significantly, for instance).

Also, of course, bad mass transit is fixable. And potentially fairly cheaply; for the lowish density cities common in the US BRT systems would likely largely be fine.

I noticed that you did not provide any sources for this statement, which is fitting given it is not true.

Scoping any type of Law Enforcement in terms of "Return on Investment" rubs me the wrong way.
Making it harder to read crypto keys from RAM (2019)
I wonder if apps targeting userbases that are more averse to being nagged like this get overall lower reviews.

App stores should really abandon reviews, they're clearly broken, due to this effect. Instead, maybe app stores should measure user engagement, and rank apps that way.
I recently gave a 1-star review to Adobe Acrobat Reader, when it interrupted me to ask for an App Store rating.

If I were using an app made my some small, scrappy developer, then there is no way I'd do this. It would feel rude, and I'd understand that they might need to scramble to survive. But Adobe? Come on.
Not quite, they were paid a licensing fee for the audio that he used. They were not paid for the tabs/sheet music, because that would require a _separate_ license.

For example, when Taylor Swift plays her song "My Tears Ricochet" there's essentially two things that separately copyrighted: 1) The musical notes and words in that particular order, and 2) the performance itself (e.g. Taylor Swift performing it). [1]

Using the performance itself is what YouTube typically has a licensing arrangement for. If you weren't on YouTube, you'd need to license it separately through ASCAP and pay them directly. Also, when you do license it you don't have carte blanche rights to do whatever you want with it, the license will come with limitations on where you can use it ("sync rights"[1]), both technology-wise (e.g. TV, radio, internet, mobile, etc) and sometimes even geographically (e.g. North America, Europe, USA/Canada, etc).

In order to perform the work yourself in public, you actually need different permissions called performing rights [2]. These licenses will typically allow you to perform the work using a musical instrument and/or your voice. You'll often pay different amounts if you charge for your performance or not, if the performance is professional versus amateur. Also, you're not typically allowed to reproduce the sheet music or lyrics physically, either for sale or to give away. I suspect you'd also pay more for imprinting the words on a screen (e.g. sing-a-long style).

All this complicated licensing is not part of the copyright law itself, it's separate is really more about contract law. Copyright law allows the copyright owner to assign rights, the owners have elected to assign them in a way designed to extract the most amount of profit from their asset.

I'm not saying I like the way the copyright system works (I don't), but that's how the law is written.

Also, I'm not a lawyer...just someone passionately upset about copyright and patent law.

Subreddit trick is super useful. Also for avoiding disinformation, which is a problem in any topic that applies to the general population, because these are thoroughly SEO-saturated by content marketing scoundrels. So usually one of the first things I do is search "<topic of interest> site:reddit.com", look for dedicated subreddits, and browse the top posts and the subreddit wiki. More often than not, there's a lot of solid community knowledge collected there.

Circling back to the topic of apps and ratings, I pretty much never use the app store for product discovery. If I install an app, it's because I knew about it from elsewhere. May be a professional reviewer, may be a friend, or may be a random poster on HN. Basically, it must be a human who I can be confident isn't trying to deceive me.
I don't have access to see whether they have fine-tuning API. Do you have any links explain the said fine-tuning? It is certainly surprising given there is no fine-tuning experiment mentioned in the GPT-3 paper.

Weights loading is embarrassingly simple to parallelize. Just use madam with 3 or 4 NVMe SSD sticks are sufficiently enough. You are more likely bounded by PCIe bandwidth than the SSD bandwidth. Newer NVIDIA cards with PCIe-4 support helps.

The joy of a free market is that the people who value a resource most get to use it by virtue of being the highest bidder.

Rules like this are simply NIMBYism, which is the true cause of high housing costs, racial segregation, and other social ills.

Allow people who own the property the freedom to use it as they please and the ability to allow rent it to those who value it most.
Do you have any citations explaining this in more detail, perhaps with some argument supporting intent or collaboration? I ask because it directly conflicts with everything I've seen about the economics arising from the fundamental physics of chemical engineering. To whit:

The chemical engineering department at my university was full of extremely bright people working on incredibly complex machinery and wacky fluid-dynamics tricks to eke out an additional tenth of a percent yield or purity in basic chemical processes. I presume that this could only be even faintly economical if the industry is so competitive that minuscule improvements are a major advantage.

Similarly, my understanding is that putting together and running a chemical operation is an astonishingly complex and expensive proposition. Like, I wouldn't be surprised if the cost of using a tanker full of benzene is 5% the benzene itself and 95% safety measures, regulatory compliance, purpose-built equipment, and specially-trained employees.

I know for a fact that it takes decades for new chemical plants to come online, which makes the supply extremely inflexible; I'd be more surprised if new sources of demand didn't cause prices to explode.
Try 'risk stratification virus' on Google Scholar to start to get a sense of the research field.

For specifics on Covid, I think look for materials from John Ioannidis (a long-time personal hero of mine) if you're interested in the research side, or David Katz (also someone I have followed closely for a while - kind of a MD version of Michael Pollan) if you're interested in the clinical side.

Both have published papers if that's a good medium for you, and both have solid videos on youtube if that's more your speed.

When you get to larger firms, there's a lot of support of sales (marketing but also engineering) that involves creating awareness, building the funnel (leads etc.), supporting sales reps in various ways, building products that customers actually want, etc. But none of those things actually involve directly asking for a PO, working on customer relationships, and so forth.

But this exact question has no answer or has many different, contradictory answers as this discussion shows. I doubt that such discussion would be interesting for someone who struggles with algebra. Moreover the same questions could be asked about all subjects. The point of the school is to show kids different things even if they cannot see their usefulness right away. One person will enjoy math, other poetry or history. But all will have a chance to try different things and to choose what to study deeper. Of course it's nice to give some motivation and her teachers failed if she cannot see applications of basic algebra.
Do people not recall that XP, even after SP3, was the OS of over a decade of botnets, ransomware, and worms that crippled the web? Even Vista and 7 were guilty if you were lax and disabled UAC.

All of the things people are complaining about here, like Microsoft becoming the de facto admin of of their Desktop Windows 10 products, are direct results of a period they manufactured.

All anyone who waxes nostalgic should do to test is install anything earlier than 10 on an internet facing computer and then wait. It's terrifying how fast they get compromised.
Depends on how much effort you're willing to spend. You could learn Uyghurche (free textbook here: https://kuscholarworks.ku.edu/handle/1808/5624 ) visit those holy places in Xinjiang, befriend Uyghurs and learn from them in person how they'd like to be supported.

Or you can let someone else do that work instead. Maybe they'll accept donations.
Her wikipedia literally states her occupation as "Independent journalist". You would rather believe a journalist who I have clearly exposed as lying and biased with proof. Good luck.
Realizing that we are all one, man.

But as a continual process - you can't just experience that once and go right back into old habits.. Or you can bring it into everyday interactions with the world. Business, family, politics, science, technology - all the hard stuff.

And it manifests as a cultural phenomenon as well an individual experience.
I love motorcycles. But they are noisy and, frankly, dangerous. (Motor scooters, in comparison, are almost ideal, low-speed, tiny, urban vehicles.)
Fair enough, although that wasn't really my point. The point I was making was about selection bias and methodologies leading to massive disparities between a number that we know should be the same the world over -- or at least within a range. Not within a couple orders of magnitude.

People are pointing to these "fatality rates" as though they're accurate, consistent and fair representations of the risk the disease poses to individuals. That's simply not the case. They're correct, but they're different and inconsistent.

Let me offer the usual cliche "Hang in there man, you'll get through it."

Sometimes life, for lack of a better term, just screws you real good.

Two years ago, my partner and I (through similar unplanned, horrific life-events) became homeless and without a vehicle.

Church soup kitchens, foodstamps, whole nine yards. We were stuck in a foreign US state, with no family, and not a penny to our name.

Long story short, eventually we clawed our way out of this situation.

For whatever it's worth, I just wanted to tell you that I (think) I know what you're going through, how awful and stress-inducing it is, and that you will have better days ahead.
Until now you didn't have the capability to do it. It's being given to you, paid, on a silver platter. I would personally take it, or otherwise stash it in an increasing bucket list of things that probably won't ever end up being realized. A lot of dreams are lost to inaction.

I read that luck is nothing more than taking opportunities. This sounds like one. The main thing would be to make sure your wants and needs are on a legal signed paper, so that even if you leave the company, you are a major part of this particular project and it's success even after you are gone, or at least compensated in an appropriate way should you choose to move on or whatever may happen. You referred to it as a separate division, so it would seem to be doable in a way that protects your intellectual property and input.
And I remember hearing car companies where the preferred job for a lot of the engineering students.
