Microsoft shot themselves in the foot by announcing pricing first if true. Not that I'm complaining. $300/500 and monthly options to boot is very consumer friendly. The hype over the proprietary memory card is overblown. I'm sure either Microsoft will release a compatible adapter that takes any m2 drive and or a Chinese factory will make them and sell them on Amazon.
Exactly. And it is even easier to convince oneself that that's actually what is going on if instead of trying to explain why the mirror "flips" the image of a person, one try to explain why the mirror "flips" a written word.

Take a piece of paper, write a word onto it, and turn it towards the mirror. Now observe the word. Is it flipped left to right? If so, it's because when turning it towards the mirror _you_ turned it around the vertical axis. Do this again, this time rotating the paper around the horizontal axis and voilà, the word is now flipped upside down.

IIRC that's Feynman who have written somewhere that mirrors do not flip things right to left, nor top to bottom. They flip things front to back.
This seems US-specific. #1 internet service company in South Korea is unionized: Naver union. Ditto for #2, etc.
It's the same conspiracy that caused that guy to walk armed into a pizza joint demanding to see the sex trafficking in its basement when it had no basement.
I don't think that's a good analogy at all. A car's precise width is not part of its interface nor a part of its design anyone particularly cares about. Its interface is more like, the design of the UX... how the steering wheel, dashboard, etc. look and feel. If a company copied those but changed everything underneath so that people could buy a cheaper alternative without seeing a difference on their usage... I don't know, is that actually legal?
There is something mesmerizing about an evil genius at the height of their craft, and Eric Lander is an evil genius at the height of his craft.

Lander’s recent essay in Cell entitled “The Heroes of CRISPR” is his masterwork, at once so evil and yet so brilliant that I find it hard not to stand in awe even as I picture him cackling loudly in his Kendall Square lair, giant laser weapon behind him poised to destroy Berkeley if we don’t hand over our patents.

This paper is the latest entry in Lander’s decades long assault on the truth...

It's all right. In the sense of using a tool when you find yourself constrained perhaps it's worth waiting till you find a problem where you feel "there's got to be a better way".

It's happened to me when I was writing generators/shrinkers for generative tests that operate over any Thrift or Protobuf type.
First definition I find of religion: "A set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs."

Almost every atheist will reject religion, given what religion typically is and which is captured pretty well in the definition above.

That’s not quite right. It greatly reduces the handshake time for new connections, but
it adds more network overhead (more bytes sent) than TCP. TCP doesn’t “block” any more than QUIC.
What if Google copied the name of Oracle's car and stamped it on the back? What if Google also copied the name of the in-car entertainment system and put all the buttons in the same place and stamped the same name on the dash? What if the shape of the car was exactly the same, and was only available in the exact same colors as Oracle's car? What if Google opened a car dealership next door to every single Oracle dealership with giant signs that said their cars are effectively interchangeable?

That's how stupid car analogies are...

Let's wait for the follow up post. The initial video is 3 seconds long, and the photo looks like it was taken on a blackberry. I'm not saying this is a FUD scam, but it smells like a FUD scam. Business Insider hasn't always been neutral or reasonable when it comes to Tesla coverage too.
It's not just the research though, it's the credit. Here we are discussing a Nobel Prize awarded to what seems to be consensually agreed is a subset of deserving contributors, in part because of flaws in the review process?

Discussion of credit for CRISPR goes back years. The first controversy began with patents. It's been obvious to anyone following this that credit for it is difficult to attribute. Everyone agrees CRISPR is in need of recognition, and yet the major systems for doing so are still based on an erroneous "lone genius" paradigm (with modifications).
I'd rather have language features to cover those use cases than a preprocessor.

As an example of what I mean, in Java and C++, class properties are typically accessed by getters and setters, since you might want to change the internal structure of a class without changing the interface. In Python and C#, you can get the same benefit by changing a member variable to a property. As a result, the boilerplate of getters/setters isn't needed.
Thanks for your very descriptive answer! At the moment, key combinations aren't nearly as well supported as they ought to be. I'll certainly fix this in a future update. Thanks again!
Keep in mind that "core team" does not mean "core developers" here. The PostgreSQL core team's responsibilities are more about governing the community (see https://www.postgresql.org/developer/core/).

When it comes to development, it might be better to look at committers, i.e. people with the right to commit stuff, recognized contributors, or even people who submitted patch to a recent commitfest:

* https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Committers

* https://www.postgresql.org/community/contributors/

* https://commitfest.postgresql.org/29/

And those groups are much larger and more diverse (in terms of employers). Plus if you look the the stats published by Robert Haas, some of the most active developers are working for other companies.

Edit: That being said, I'd love to see people from other companies participating in the community, and I'm generally trying to help new contributors with their patches.
> To everyone who actually knows anything about cars or manufacturing it's kind of a nothing-burger that everyone expects will slowly go away with time.

Tesla fundamentally disagrees with established ways of manufacturing cars and is still approaching it as a SV startup. They chase growth numbers, rush new models in production, will put home depot scrap in the cars just to keep the lines moving, and have no quality culture.

Company needs to go over very fundamental philosophy changes for issues like that go away. Just the time itself is not enough.

Japanese or Korean auto-markers turned around their quality over time, by heavily investing into that. Tesla shows no signs of that.
I've been using WSL2 for the last few months.

I never thought I would see the day I prefer Windows to OSX AND Linux for a development environment, but that day has come.

I am ASTOUNDED by how well WSL2 works, especially when integrated with VSCode.

For a much better terminal experience, I recommend Windows Terminal. Easy to configure, works great.
But you're talking about chemical engineering of making glue, and luckily 3m (etc) have already done all that work.

All Tesla have to do is "buy the right glue", and then "make sure it gets put on correctly". That is a bit of production engineering but seriously it's not hard to lay down a bead of adhesive, place the glass in, and then check that it's been done.

> I think a lot of it is that in-demand, well paid workers don't have patience for the BS work rules that unions are notorious for. It might be unfair characterization, but "you can't change/test that code, that's role X", and other such bureaucracy can be really draining.

Some existing blue-collar unions have work rules like that, but I think it's a fallacy that a tech worker union would necessarily work exactly the same. To say so would be like condemning (say) Apple (as a business) by using examples from Radio Shack.

I think the main reasons for tech workers historical opposition to unions was:

1. Tech workers had rare, in-demand skills which gave them market power not enjoyed by most workers who have unionized. This is by far the biggest reason.

2. The influence of narratives different genres of free market propaganda. I think the concept of a impersonal self-regulating free market has a special intellectual appeal to the kind of people who like to design technical systems, and a lot of the mass-market works that espouse it are written for the benefit of the capitalists that benefit most acutely from that system. This is a secondary reason, but makes the first reason far more effective.

3. The influence of startup culture, which (temporarily!) creates jobs that blend worker and capitalist. Relatively few people find themselves in these kinds of roles, but they've gotten enormous amounts of publicity relative to other tech jobs.
The car's width is absolutely its interface with respect to roadway interoperability.

We aren't talking about user interfaces here. This lawsuit does not involve UX. We are talking about interfaces between functional components. The analogy is spot on.

I never liked battery powered tools, because I tend to use them rarely. The battery is almost always dead when I want to use one. Then I have to delay whatever I want to work on to charge one. Assuming that they still hold a charge, which they may not.

A corded tool, I can leave in a box for 3 years, then pick up, plug in, and run it all day if I need to, then put it away for another few years, and never have to worry about it.

A Closer Look at Software Canisters, an Evolution of Smart Contracts
The fringe idea is that a heat-death universe looks homogeneous and the Big Bang also looks homogeneous and so maybe we could potentially hook up the t=0 of one universe with the t=∞ of another and get rid of the “well but it takes infinite time to get from one universe to another” by handwaving of “yes but no particle in that universe actually experiences infinite time because they all become massless eventually, so it effectively takes finite time.”

Like, the principle that massless particles cease experiencing time itself is fine, albeit kind of hard to think about (it is a negation of an idea; because they don't experience time they cannot “experience” anything, so I could tell you that “they also see the entire universe except for the thing that emitted them as one point/ray straight ahead of them” but I mean they don’t actually “see” anything so I am describing a limiting behavior here).

Whether you can stitch universes together like this is very very fringe but props to him for being a physicist and looking for some sort of observable consequence of a theory that could have otherwise just been a “yeah the math could go either way on this, think of it that way if you want to but there is no pressure.”
I am loving those Sony and Nintendo contributions to FreeBSD, Android and LLVM.
Seems like the number of complaints I've heard about Tesla has stayed the same over the last couple of years.

Given there are a lot more of them made, seems like they are getting better.

The interoperability width is already set by the road... you're copying the road at that point, not the car.

The lawsuit involves UX for a software framework. Which its API constitutes. The user happens to be a developer here and their usage is software development.
I agree, get rid of patents to allow anyone to compete. Then shut down the FDA (which has been subject to regulatory capture), and create a new smaller regulatory agency.

>The world is unfair get over it.

This kind of line of thought is the issue. Why should it be unfair? Or at least, why can't we make it fairer?

>People from both cultures do not mix well unless they are willing to adapt.

Those willing to adapt are usually those that are immigrating. Your argument does not make sense in this context, as we are talking about people that are, by definition, willing to move and be part of another country. Will there be a clash of cultures in some instances? Of course, but that will last at most for one generation.

> I refuse to take responsibility for everyone. It is not up to me to give a better wage to an ungrateful immigrant. Life is unfair, get over it.

No one is asking you to take responsibility for anyone. But why should you support policies that exclude those that are willing to come on their own volition and contribute to society? What makes you think that they are 'ungrateful'? Again, why should we not strive to make things fairer for everyone?

>Also, I am grateful that those that would have not adapted to the Canadian mosaic of cultures were not allowed to come. I think another term is culture fit. If you do not fit the culture, you should not be allowed in.

Culture is such a meaningless thing. Immigrants assimilate to the culture, willing or not, after a generation. Sure, some of the people that actually immigrate might not be want to change their ways, but their children will. Studies have shown that this is a moot point, used by those that are just scared of different things, when in reality those that immigrate do assimilate the culture of the place they are living.

This mentality makes absolute no sense, specially coming from a child of immigrants. And I see you come from Canada. As someone who is about to immigrate there, it saddens me to see such display of hatred for those who are different. I spent a year studying in Canada a few years ago, and from my experience people there are very welcoming to immigrants. I had the pleasure to meet Chinese, Muslims, Indians and people from lots of different places and cultures while in Toronto, and guess what? Everyone got along very well. I don't understand where this fear and hatred comes from, but most people are good people, willing to work hard to earn their own if given the chance.

And if this is naive idealism, well, then I am a naive idealist.
Advertising, as it provides a funding model for surveillance (as you need surveillance for good ad targeting, which then can be misused for other things) as well as misaligned incentives when it comes to social/communication networks (the operator is incentivized to increase engagement even if it means degrading the communications experience, spreading lies or intentionally pitting people against each other as the resulting outrage and anger generates engagement).
What I get from this, and I might be totally misunderstanding, is that we can see it loosely as "zooming out" (or the sake of simplicity) with each iteration, until you're looking at a tiny universe again? So that large vs. small is just a matter of viewpoint.
I used to think that voice recognition sucked until I tried Google Assistant. Holy shit is it amazing when it picks up every single word you utter every single time. Truly impressive and if car manufacturers can license the voice tech from Google I can definitely see the tech being quite useful.

My proposal => that you chose to make the door handles six inches because of UX, and Oracle showed up and said they made theirs six inches before you did.
The real explanation is decades of widely prevalent anti-union propaganda. People hear something enough times and they tend to believe it. Walmart workers don't have unions either, for the same reasons, but I'm sure people here are cringing at being compared to Walmart workers.
RC – The Plan 9 Shell (c. 1990) [pdf]
According to the initial Reddit thread (anecdotal evidence I realise), while this is the most severe and highest profile incident, there have been quite a few reports of windows being improperly sealed. So as you say, not a one-off, but rather a flawed manufacturing procedure.

I went along with a family member to a Model 3 test drive recently and it was surprising just how many little defects were there, considering the price of the car. While paint finish or panel fit isn't going to ruin a car overall, the fact the big easy-to-spot things are so clearly flawed does make one pause to consider how rigorous the QA is for the parts under the surface.
The only "fair" tax policy is no tax policy. The function of taxation is to punish an activity, which is inherently discriminatory. In the context of a monetary sovereign, it serves no revenue function.
I'm in the "this thing seems way over engineered" camp. The stand rotates not to hide the screw hole (it's a neat feature, but the screw seems to clip into something to stay put), rather it rotates just to fit the odd shape of the console.

Why not use a captive screw so it can't fall out, and design a console with a flat bottom so no rotation/moving parts are needed?
Hello! As a matter of fact, I just changed the way mistypes are handled to be like this. There will be options for less obtrusive cursors coming soon as well, which I hope should fix the need for larger text.
HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 don't require HTTPS because "it benefits Google" or whatever, but rather because it's the only way those protocols could be usable to begin with.

It is possible to use HTTP/2 without HTTPS, but the problem is that there were a lot of systems that modified unencrypted HTTP traffic and got confused by HTTP/2 protocol - it looked nothing like HTTP/1. The easiest workaround for this issue was to require HTTPS, so that's what was done.

Also when HTTPS is being used the server can say during TLS handshake that it supports HTTP/2 avoiding the cost in having to figure out whether the server supports HTTP/2 - this cannot be done with HTTP as there is no handshake. If a web browser were to assume the server supports HTTP/2 it would make initial HTTP/1 requests slower as it would have to try HTTP/2 first (and then you would have people complaining about Google making HTTP/1 slower to make HTTP/2 look more attractive). If a web browser would say that it supports HTTP/2 it would make HTTP/2 requests slower as it would have to try HTTP/1 first (which would slow down HTTP/2 when it was supposed to be fast).
The syntax you just typed is an example of the theory in practice. Syntax != semantics.
Unions are not perfect and unionized workers often have a complicated relationship with their union, but fundamentally a Union is just a democratic organization representing workers. The policies are set by the union on behalf of the interests of workers, however imperfectly. Without a union, the policies are set by management and there is no institutional power that workers have collectively against policies they don’t like.
Indeed. Competition is great though. Hopefully Jira/Clubhouse picks up and not suck.

The only thing I could find it this interview where Thiel talks about a quarter-life crisis: https://conversationswithbillkristol.org/video/peter-thiel/
Support and consulting services are great startup business models. Low cost of entry, generate revenue early in lifecycle thus a strong basis for bootstrapped/organic growth, relatively straightforward sell cycle, lots of opportunity for growth and new market exploitation (e.g. expand from consulting to managed services or SaaS once revenue supports it). I've started several such companies, and it was fun and profitable.

The only people who call a business idea "bad" solely because it doesn't enable "hockey stick growth and massive revenue per employee numbers" are people who's business world view is so constricted that the only possible "good" business is a SV ideal, VC funded, growth at all cost model. That isn't the only way to do it.
Unless if you have a scottish accent.
And this is why Google had to copy the interface -- otherwise their runtime would not operate with other existing products. As you can see given your example, the analogy is a perfect fit.

Your argument that the copying is once-removed is unfortunately irrelevant to copyright law.
I haven't heard that about Wirecutter, and I think that would devastate their brand (and maybe hurt NYT's) if true.
Yeah, it's a little unusual. No big story. I just did an early version and then didn't update it for a long time, then got hooked on working on it again over the past few months.

I don't know what to say about the number of commits. My working style on this project has involved a lot of smaller commits and little feature iterations, maybe because of the single big script and single big README, or maybe something about the feedback loop of this style of development.
Why is that the only way to validate my knowledge?
