At this point all the large companies have already cut deals with Apple.

If you are a small player or a startup, just think that all your purchases will need to go through the IAP and 30% of that belongs to Apple.

If you model your business and cash flow with that in mind, they you be in a much better position to continue doing business on Apple devices .

If you think that your business will not be profitable giving 30% to Apple , then shut it down now and rethink it - because your customers will be on Apple devices and sooner or later - Apple will force you to include IAP.
The car can be cleaned either way -- with a driver or without. That's what happens in grocery stores and hotels now. They wipe down the shopping carts, and they seal the doors.

But there's only one way remove the possibility of getting sick from the driver. We've been talking about that for 15 years, but it doesn't work yet.

I don't think the risks are equivalent on a per-person basis either. The "viral load" apparently matters, so using the same car as 1 person is not the same as riding with a sick driver for say 30 minutes. It could be that the driver risk is great than that of 30 passengers combined.
Can you point out where exactly in those docs you highlight the issue?

I just read the linked page and found no references to data loading limitations or performance limitations. Is it only in the video which isn't search indexed and few people would bother watching?

edit: The page literally advertises the speed of TPUs with "In general, a single TPU is about as fast as 5 V100 GPUs!" which is the exact opposite of warning people.

Whether it’s copyrightable or not is a legal question, and Schwartz isn’t a lawyer. And the answer has to be the same for everyone, not just Sun. Now, that might be an “implied license” or “estoppel” argument—even if it’s copyrightable, you can’t enforce it now because you led everyone to believe they could use it for free.
I'd say Waymo has taken a measured, conservative approach and their lack of major incidents is a huge advantage. They're taking it slow because they're far ahead of their competitors, they already have SDCs up and carrying passengers in exchange for payment. Yes, it's an easy geographic region, but it's hard to deny their tech and business is ahead of their competitors.
I agree strongly with this type of analysis. The data we're seeing is strongly skewed by all kinds of biases. Looking at deaths at least removes one big piece of bias.

I too suspect areas are achieving some limited herd immunity. I don't think the behavioral changes adopted in the US have done much. Mostly, I just think less social people aren't getting it. More social people are.
> I chose to overcome this by heating the VCC pin with my soldering iron and very carefully lifting it off the pad. This is a convenient, but rather crude solution which may result in snapped off leads so use at your own risk!

If that mishap on an SOIC chip occurs, don’t fret, you can usually shave off a bit of the plastic and get enough pin surface to solder a jumper to VCC.

An alternate method is to follow the VCC trace and cut it, then solder your own wire to the unlifted lead and a nearby capacitor with a switch. Beware that you might power more than the chip if the trace continues, but that’s usually fine. Sometimes this is a good thing because you still power pull-up resistors.

Yet another option is to place a glob of solder across 4 pins, heat them all up, and lift half the chip. The other 4 legs will be hot and soft enough to bend easily.

Finally for the non-VCC connections, could follow the traces and find easier places to solder to rather than a bunch of side-by-side leads.
Correct. Never responding after an application? Par for the course. But asking someone to complete a coding challenge or even an interview and then ghosting is downright unprofessional and should be unacceptable.

I'm surprised to hear so many in this thread had negative experiences. My experience as an applicant at Stripe was stellar from beginning to end, probably the most professional and well-executed interview process I've seen in my career. I can say that without bias because I ended up choosing another offer, but it was really difficult to turn down Stripe's after that.

I've heard several times about the Stripe "Library" and "written culture", both in previous patio11 posts [1] and elsewhere. I understand part of that comes from the top and screening for writers. But I'm also curious about the basic mechanics of the library; wordpress? big ol' mediawiki? git repo of markdown docs? custom software?

How has the library process (if any) itself changed over time?

I've worked at non-startup BigCo/healthcare with formalized procedural docs, (technical) writers, change management, etc., and often they were minimal, boring, impersonal, frequently outdated -- and rarely read. I'm imagining (for better or worse) this is something a little more like a shared internal blog archive?

To me, "everything is political" is a bumper sticker version of the assertion that what is and isn't "political" in the sense of "political statement" is often way more subjective than we sometimes recognize it is.

If a coworker talks about his husband, is that a political statement? To some people, absolutely, right?

How about someone mentioning a concert that they've gone to, for an artist that's outspokenly political one way or another? Just a concert, right?

What about talking about a great movie or TV show, if those are, I don't know, "Sorry to Bother You" or "Lovecraft Country"?

Can you mention that you went to a gun show, or a shooting range?

Can you recommend a Jordan Peterson book?

Can you put an NRA logo on your car?

What about a BLM logo?

What about on your T-shirt?

If a coworker goes through a gender transition, how does that get handled in a way that everyone, across the board, considers apolitical? Good luck with that: the very act of transitioning is, to a significant portion of the population, itself political.

So, I mean, sure, not literally everything is political, but if you give the statement a bit more of a generous reading than "Come on, are you saying ice cream is political? Harrumph!", you can see the point being made.

(Also, re: ice cream: what about Ben & Jerry's?)
That's a different type of recruiting ;)

I seem to remember that on one of the chat services, there was a trick to see what the other person was typing before they hit Enter. Something like the client actually sent updates as the other user typed, and your client would receive it, but not display it until the message was marked "sent"... but third-party clients could just show you the in-progress messages. Anyone remember this?

Weird question :) My claim is that it won't be open to "anyone" in a useful way any time soon.

And you need to define "anyone" -- that's precisely what's being fudged here (and what's been fudged in previous announcements).

To be clear: I think Waymo will fold or be wound down before this happens.

In a previous comment, I said that IF we get economically feasible self-driving cars in the next 10-20 years, then it will not be from Waymo. It will be from a breakthrough out of left field. In other words, "we" will have thrown out millions of lines of code and billions of dollars of investment, and started over.

Obviously, if they roll it out, then I'll be wrong! But if I thought that was possible now, then I wouldn't bother calling them out on it.

What I think is that Purism got it wrong by creating its own mobile distro instead of starting from a pure-FOSS Android (AOSP) and patching the missing things with thinks like microG, better permission system, isolation and ways to force closed source apps to behave and obey the user (app wants my address book and refuse to work if I deny it? Nice, take this randomly generated list of names and numbers! Location? Take this random place. Phone or cell ids? Take this random stuff...)

Advantages is that they can start with a bunch of free apps (F-droid is nice!), do not get too far from what SoC vendors already have and can move to another distro (even running both them in parallel) once they sold a good number of devices and the business is sustainable. All while respecting user freedom even when they really need some proprietary stuff (e.g. bank apps).

But, well, that ship has sailed. Let's see what we can do.

> IBM used to be an engineering-first company.

I would argue that this was never true--even from inception. HP was an engineering-first company--not IBM.

IBM was about sales and marketing--they would rent and finance equipment for you even way back.

Now, IBM had world-class engineering, but people forget that a lot of the major companies had great engineering until the 1980s.
> Several members talked about murdering 'tyrants' or 'taking' a sitting governor," an FBI agent wrote.

That doesn't sound like an actual plot to take actual specific criminal actions against a specific person. It sounds like something one guy would say to another in a heated conversation. I suspect this entire case will fall apart by the time it goes to trial like all these other fake "domestic terrorism" entrapment cases the FBI likes to trot out for political purposes. The only charge that sticks will be some process crime involving firearm permits.

Number of security researchers isn't a function of population size it is a function of population size * fraction with propensity to show requisite skill * fraction who go to work in the profession.

> examples that wouldn't be better served by a database are basically non-existent.

If you say so, then here's a question for you.

Using only non-blockchain databases, can you build an exchange that is..

1) Owned by no one, or owned by a community to which anyone can join.

2) Unstoppable. Can't be shutdown even if you cold murder the entire team.

3) Can't be regulated (will never do KYC/AML).

4) Permission-less: anyone can trade and/or provide the liquidity.

5) Open-source with indisputable proof that it *always* runs *exactly* and *only* the code it shows on GitHub.

In other words, can you build Uniswap [1] with MySQL?

> I only recently understood that my Coax cables are basically like an RF spectrum similar to Wifi except inside the cables. It appears this is taken as obvious because I had a really hard time finding someone explain it like that.

Back in the days nearly everyone had the experience of connecting an outdoor antenna to a coax cable.

BTW, you can even run Wi-Fi over a random, abandoned RG-58 TV coax in the wall by simply connecting a suitable coax adapter. Some will mention the problem of impedance mismatch, but it's negligible [0]. The downside is that MIMO is not possible, only 1T1R is possible, and 150 Mbps is the best possible speed for 802.11n (but I wonder if it's possible to use a mixer at both ends to convert the second antenna port to a different frequency, so both bands can operate simultaneously in a single coax cable with a duplexer for MIMO).

> I had trouble understanding "how is this secure" when my modem is also connected to the same coax and this is clearly not behind my firewall. Well, of course, you filter out the signal from leaving through the Coax which provides you cable!

A Coax-to-Ethernet modem and a Cable modem doesn't even have the same analog front-end or use the same modulation, software-only attacks are practically impossible. It can only be a problem if the attacker has physical access to the coax cable, or if the coax leaks (which always occur). But then, G.hn uses AES encryption with Diffie-Hellman key exchange [1][2], you shouldn't worry after all. Man-in-the-Middle attacks can still be a problem, it's more secure to set the password (a.k.a. Device ID) manually via Ethernet instead of using the automatic pairing. But still, it's unlikely that anyone is injecting traffic during the initial pairing.

[0] A 50-ohm transmitter into 75 ohm ideal coax has a VSWR (a metric of impedance mismatch) of better than 1.6:1 at 2.4 GHz, real cable loss can make the apparent VSWR even lower.

I was 8 or 9 when I discovered ResEdit. Didn’t understand most of it. But I was able to do absolutely ludicrous modifications to my favourite games such as Escape Velocity. Definitely a defining moment in my growth.
Yen says it’s strange that Apple’s actual written rules aren’t as clearly defined as what I’m telling him, and that he doesn’t trust the rules in general: Apple originally justified blocking the app because of an obscure rule that apps shouldn’t “include irrelevant information,” he says, and he believes that the results of app review are largely predetermined: “They made a decision, and then it’s just about pointing to the relevant passages of the rules to justify the decision they’ve already made.”

I totally agree. I've built apps that have been rejected, gone through their review board, etc. and ended up never being allowed because of a rule that didn't even apply to us. On a call with the Apple reviewer, they stated, "it is a private store and we choose who will be on it." Kinda sums it up.
Why not allow healthy people to inoculate with a reasonable dose of the virus so they can control the timing, and then self-quarantine? I would have done that months ago if it was allowed. Even if it only has a partial chance of conferring immunity, doing that would have helped fewer vulnerable people get sick, but instead public health authorities are still clinging to “informed consent” nonsense, as if turning the world upside-down isn’t another serious risk to mitigate.
Politics is the process of determining the allocation and distribution of scarce resources, status, and power.

Unless you are living in a post-scarcity, post-status, post-power anarchist society, populated entirely by The New Soviet Man (or some other fictional relative thereof), everything that's meaningful is, indeed, political.

You can draw a contrast between personal politics and organizational politics. An organization can be explicit that it engages in organizational politics, but bars personal politics. That is what Coinbase is currently doing[1]. That's the CEO's, and the board's prerogative.

[1] It does, however, falsely claim that its organizational political activity is somehow apolitical. It's not.
So are you saying the Coinbase CEO simply said something to the effect of “we will maintain our insurance plans for 6 months company-wide”? That seems disingenuous.

> The cheaper models with only one AVX-512 FMA unit have a lower throughput, which will be exceeded by Zen 3, even at the same clock frequency.

I think there are relatively few with only one FMA (and there's no way of interrogating them at runtime, sigh) but, yes, if you know you have one, you use AVX2 for GEMM kernels, as a specific example.

For general computational workloads, you're likely better off with more AVX2 cores and high memory bandwidth, even without whatever improvements there are in Zen 3.

ICLR 2021 Paper Using Transformers for Image Recognition at Scale
A Tiny Review of the Microsoft Surface Duo
I've lived with the phone for about a week and I don't think the demos and reviews do it justice. If you have a use case for dual screens or the multi-use device concept, it's a game changer.

The Good:
Gesture and orientation sensing system.
Wildly productive.
Looks/feels executive.

The Bad:
Still some early bugs.
Expensive.

The magic of this phone comes from how it senses its orientation. There are several key modes. In "phone mode" you have the two screens folded back against each other. The right screen goes up to your ear and the other one turns off automatically. To multitask in phone mode, just open it up into "book mode."

Two screens side-by-side or "book mode" lets you run two apps next to each other (web browsing and watching a video, writing an email while you look something up). When you turn the phone the tall direction, the two screens flow together into one long screen for reading documents. It's great for web pages.

When you need to type on that long, wide screen, fold the right screen flat down onto your desk for "notebook mode" and a full screen keyboard appears on the bottom with your document on the other screen.

To watch a movie, just fold into "tent mode" and place on a surface (sorry, couldn't resist). It detects this mode and makes your video full screen on the screen that's facing you.

To take pictures, turn the camera toward you and your selfie shows on the screen. To take outside-facing pictures, just turn the (folded) phone around. The camera will face outside and the other screen facing you shows the image.

All in all, its remarkable how much the phone can detect with just these orientation changes. There are a few bugs in exactly that area and sometimes the gestures that let you move apps between screens can be touchy, but in total I think its great and well worth the money if you work any of these ways.

The bank told me to file a police report. I did. Sent a copy to the bank. The bank told me to fuck off.
