What a ridiculous statement. If anything, reforming the h1-b program is a good thing for the incoming workers. There were tons of H1-B workers who did not get visas because some 'IT sweatshop' flooded the program with cheap, relatively low skill applicants. Now? Better applicants have a higher chance to be approved!

I think that's only benign if you've got your nonsense detectors calibrated properly. If you're a paranoiac, that's candy.
From my own experience, it is very hard to engineer a device that can run WiFi full speed along with USB3, especially something like a smartphone, or tablet, where USB3 pins come out right out of the SoC.

In fact, we tested existing laptops on the market for WiFi/USB3 coexistence, and only 1 laptop ever made it flawlessly. It was a quite old Sony Vaio, where USB3 lanes were physically put under an RF shield from controller to the port.
Any plan for handling fake/compensated reviews?
Great idea. I just left a review. Was asked to register after reviewing. I registered and was brought back to the product page with no review on the page.

I expected the review to be posted. If it's in a moderation queue I'd expect to see a message indicating that's the case. And if the review didn't get saved I probably wouldn't leave another one.
Speaking with a Google PM around 2016, I learned that they had thought they had spam under control, having managed to make the disincentives high enough — and then were caught flat footed by political spammers, who presumably had external backing and hence did not mind losing anything, neither money nor time.

The idea of people complaining about "black psychological warfare" (to use the 1948 vocabulary) or "coordinated inauthentic behaviour" (to use the 2020 vocabulary) being dismissed until the evidence became incontrovertible reminds me of the Lakota: Custer's side of the story got most of the play for many years, but recent forensic examination of the Greasy Grass battlefield corroborates the accounts the Lakota gave, directly after the engagement.
Indirectly, they do. Same thing as ES rules. The EU rules do not apply to the US, but by virtue of being a huge market, products are designed to follow those requirements. And companies will want to avoid creating entirely different product lines for different markets - so at least some of those rules and restrictions will end up in those products.
I came here to plug the same book. I read "Against the Gods" as part of an effort to understand business topics on a more fundamental level, and was not disappointed.

As a self-identified "tech guy", my eyes previously glazed over when someone mentioned financial topics like insurance. However, I came to understand insurance as deeply tied to human efforts to move civilization forward in a stochastic and uncertain world. Fantastic book.

> Your right to free speech doesn't include a right to force [...]

Under current laws yes. But the comment you're replying to is proposing a change, presumably to treat these huge platforms more like common carriers rather than publishers. I agree with them on private messages - the carrier should have no editorial control and no responsibility for what users say.

Something like Facebook Messenger is conceptually far closer to texting (or even just sending letters) than it is to a newspaper publishing your article. And I don't think anyone legitimately considers it similar to choosing which products to stock.

For public forums I think there's probably a better middle-ground. Possibly requiring transparency, like indication if a user's post has been edited or partially deleted by moderators, and explaining how posts are sorted/recommended/hidden.

> If society decides to toss QAnon into the bargain bin of cultural relevance, that's perfectly valid.

Normally it's the decision not of society as a whole but rather of a few huge platforms. You may agree with banning QAnon accounts, but what about "anarchist groups" mentioned in the article? Or if the platforms go full WeChat (even scanning for text in images) to make sure your private messages are for the right politicians/companies/groups/laws/platforms and against the wrong ones?

> Even Ben Franklin recognized this[0]. As a publisher he refused to publish libelous and slanderous speech, yet recognized the right of other publishers to do so if they wished.

I'd argue that editorial control over billions of conversations (and thus what billions of people appear to say/support) is far more powerful than editorial control over what a single newspaper says. Silent manipulation of public opinion in this way can even be used to make people less critical of the control that platforms have. I think it's something everyone should be cautious of, even if the current bans line up with what they consider dangerous views.
I guess there's inevitably going to be a tear-down video so might as well do it yourself to avoid any random embarrassment.

Great and overdue. I was just telling my mother yesterday that it was a travesty the inventors of CRISPR hadn't been honored yet with the Medicine Nobel.
My dad used to take warfarin too and keep a very steady diet of dark leafy greens (his poison of choice he wouldn’t give up). There are meds now that are less dependent on food, your grandviejo may want to ask about.
It can't do shit until you have a computable definition of "fair"
11k Lines of code seems like a lot especially if you're insisting that it was just wholly ripped out of an existing codebase but that isn't the case here at all and even Oracle make that clear in their analogy:

>It says what Google has done is like taking key parts of those books — chapter titles, character names, the first sentence of each paragraph — writing a new book, and selling it.

If you're reimplementing APIs as Google has done then at some point you _need_ to copy the structure of the existing API, the method signatures, the names of the methods, the descriptions of what they do, etc, and while you may be able to dig out a thesaurus to claim enough original creative work at some point it's all for moot because there's only so much you can do before you'll start infringing upon Oracles creative expression of their API which severely limits what you are able to do with it.

If Oracle wins this case it will have huge implications for any reverse engineered work like Wine or graphics drivers where such projects will cease to exist, because it won't actually matter if it's 100% your own implementation as any interface to existing APIs or hardware _will_ infringe upon other companies copyright.

As far as Youtube Content ID goes it doesn't actually matter if it's 3 seconds or 3 minutes of copyrighted work, if it's matched then Youtube will let those companies claim revenue from your video which may be an hour long. The alternative here is the legal system and courts which may absolutely agree that 3 seconds of use in an hour long video is fair use, but you're still going to end up in court to defend that usage. It's unlikely that Oracle has enough sway to force Github to implement a similar content matching system but if they did it doesn't really matter what threshold the courts set for fair use for reimplementing APIs just like it doesn't matter for Youtube, best make sure all your repos don't use something like XMLHttpRequest() or your repo may disappear, and of course if Oracle doesn't have the sway to force Github into implementing such a system you're still going to have to go check through all your your repos because if they feel you've infringed upon their creative work they'll be able to issue takedown requests and your only recourse will be through the courts.
Would be great to be able to sort by number of reviews. A lot of the products right now only have a single review.

Also, I can't see any place to submit a new product
Agreed. Not trying to start a flame war, but it really madee appreciate the packaging of the Series X more.
While "Heroes of CRISPR" is a fairly detailed history of the whole affair, it's always worth noting that it was written by Eric Lander, the director of an institute with a strong vested financial interest in having the story interpreted in a particular way.
This reminds me of elite poker players purposely creating certain play tendencies over years (reducing returns) and waiting to change them for specific high rewarding opportunities.

Those are probably Meyer lemons, that is a hybrid (lemon x tangerine if I remember correctly) so is sweeter than the true lemon (or maybe your wife is simply strange ;-)).
I genuinely don't understand this comment. A hacked T2 is currently less secure than it was a few weeks ago, but I think still more secure than a machine with no T2 at all, no?

That is, so far nobody has leveraged this to hack FileVault or SecureEnclave passwords generally, and until then, this is still marginally more secure than no T2 at all.

Once the above is no longer true, then a MacBook with T2 will be... exactly as secure as a machine with no T2 at all, right?

I guess I'm not seeing how this makes a MacBook less secure than alternatives. What am I missing?

Really off putting. It looks to be due to cooling and unnecessary contours. I’m not sure this fits in my entertainment stand and I have a rather large family room entertainment unit.
It seems cooling and power needs for more recent hardware have called for larger designs to compensate for larger heatsinks, fans, ventilation systems, etc. The actual SoC is quite thin.
I don't think it would be infringement. The main difference between WINE and Android is where the interoperability integration points are.

WINE is using the Windows names for the purposes of allowing Windows programs to run. This is a case where a judge would easily grant fair-use because you have to use the API surface area to provide compatibility for existing programs.

Android is using the Java names for the purposes of allowing existing Java developers to be productive, not so that existing Java programs can run.
Intuitively, why does a mirror-image appear to be flipped left-to-right compared to a photograph?
Yeah this is cool, but if it gets any traction I'd expect the fake reviews to quickly make the site useless without a ton of investment into spam detection. Given that Amazon sucks at this as a trillion dollar company with purchase data, I don't have much hope for a new startup or personal project (not sure which it is), but I'd really love to be proven wrong.

To be honest I was hoping it was even more like RottenTomatoes, focused on aggregating credible professional reviews of products (like RT focuses on professional critics, though they do also have user reviews).
>Or, more likely, a slight improvement in your phone and much thinner phones. On laptops, we might see the return of more ports. //

Please, no. I don't understand the utility of making something so expensive be so fragile and hard to hold. My phone is 5mm thick, that's already too thin for me.

Does anyone want thinner phones or is it just a marketing thing?
I think it is more likely he plans to stuff it with affiliate links like all the other garbage product list websites.
Looks great! I've been looking for something like this. Easy to navigate. Clean. Not too information dense. I think the only suggestion I could make would be to weight the scores by the number of reviews. I personally think a product with 100 reviews and an aggregate rating of 4 is probably a better product than one that has a single review of 5.
I'm really glad to see that these new consoles will continue to have ethernet ports. My whole tv cabinet is full of devices that need networking and its nice to keep as many devices as possible on ethernet and off the wifi network.
Not sure if you're looking for site design suggestions but I would get rid of the "carousel" and instead have a grid of items below the fold so people can scroll for a brand they recognize.

The carousel is simultaneously too slow and too fast. The visitor has to sit and wait to see a brand they recognize, and then when they do, they only have a second to recognize and click.

Scroll works well on all modern devices and empowers the visitor. There's a reason so many landing pages are tall.
I once took too much acid and the hour I spent in the peak was too strong and took a lot out of me. By the time it passed, I felt ravenous hunger for the massive grapefruit I had in the fridge. About halfway through eating through it's succulent splendor, I had to set the fruit aside and lay down because I felt like I was peaking again.
In addition to the downsides noted by other responses like electricity and maintenance costs, it's worth noting these industrial machines don't clean food residue nearly as well as domestic machines.

There simply isn't enough time in contact with the chemicals to break down things like starch and protein. You're meant to preclean dishes that go into these things quite well, then they degrease and sanitize them.
I don't have any sources from the time of Hearst, but I have read ad men in the 1920's say they produced war propaganda in the 19-teens by moving social clique by social clique, triangulating to make a message seem ubiquitous to the targets. While reading the account, I could only imagine what they might have accomplished with (a) an explicit social graph, and (b) better-than-mimeograph spamming rates.
I think in general you can run arbitrary code on Colab. That's the entire point. Your CPU and RAM usage are monitored and rate limited; you have to pay $$$ for more powerful specs and at that point if you're paying them I doubt they care what you're doing with what you paid for.
I think Sony likes making beautifully engineered internal designs that they want to show off.
Probably. Apple aren't particularly pro-consumer, so why would they actually care about privacy enough to hurt their bottom line.

I'm sure they do care a bit, but it conveniently differentiates them and locks their customers in.

Hence, regulation. Lay down the rules, let the free market fight to the bone over who does it best.
From the article:

"In the simulation, four AI workers are each controlled by their own reinforcement-learning models. They interact with a two-dimensional world, gathering wood and stone and either trading these resources with others or using them to build houses, which earns them money. The workers have different levels of skill, which leads them to specialize."

So I'm sure they can create a fairer tax policy ... as long as our world is equivalent to a simplified version of age of empires.

This is just someone's hobby that they somehow convinced other people was serious work.

TLDR: Importance does not equate to size, just as space does not equate to mass nor mass to value (value being the particular distribution of elements within a mass).
It is a manual and tedious process if you make it manual and tedious for yourself.

After all, it's people that make computers do this work in the first place.
Any thoughts for adding good TCO commercial grade things?

As an example, after I got upset throwing away my 5th coffee maker in a row, I found myself a Bunn pourover coffee maker on craigslist. They are made for huge duty cycles and every part is hard wearing, replaceable and easy to get ahold of via commercial coffee distributors.

Now every time I have something needing replacement I look at commercial options, but I'm never sure what the actual cost/lifespan/repairability is vs consumer options.
We pretty much did binary search to find my lithium levels. The lethal concentration of lithium is very close to the therapeutic range, but we couldn’t afford to spend long on low doses (since you have to take blood tests to assess effective dosages.)

- if .NET Orleans runs fine on Kubernetes, why is there a need for an experimental fix?

There is no experimental fix, just improvements. Things which can make life easier for developers running on Kubernetes by automating some things (setting addresses), and taking advantage of information that's available in a Kubernetes cluster (whether or not a pod has been deleted) and feeding that into the cluster membership system.

The reason the latter is useful is that it addresses something which can occur during initial dev/test, but which does not come up in production cases: when an entire cluster is deleted and redeployed with the same identity, the new instances try to contact defunct instances for a few minutes as a safety measure. The enhancement is to query Kubernetes to determine if it's worth trying to contact those nodes, or whether they're almost certainly dead.

- why Microsoft doesn't write and release an Operator & Helm chart, instead asking the community?

Helm charts aren't something we see requested often. Perhaps because Orleans is a framework which is embedded into the developer's application and not a service which gets deployed and stands alone (compared to, for example, a database). There are no separate Orleans pods, just the user's application pods. Internal users have been building applications on Kubernetes with their own Helm charts. Microsoft is not asking anybody to create those things, or anything, unless they want them for themselves.
Aren't they the air intake and exhaust? Those around the fan correspond to the "air vent" earlier in the video, and those at the back seem to be the only possible exhaust.
Your making assumptions here. There's no details on what exactly was needed from an engineering perspective. Was it design? Was it merely the knowledge to work the tools? She hired this person, but would any engineer have worked? If all he did was follow instructions and a plan and build what she designed then he was a lackey. Now he may have been more then that. But all the information I've seen so far has pointed to her being the designer, her being the driving force for this.
What the article does not mention is the connection of bitter taste to one of the two separate chemicals causing the drug interaction. It is a flavonoid called Naringenin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naringenin

On its own the chemical is tasteless but in grapefruit in connection with other chemicals common to a variety of fruits, the derived glycoside Naringin, becomes the principle compound providing the bitterness. The chemical is present in many fruits including fruits that typically considered bitter, but it makes grapefruit noticeably more bitter due to its higher concentration there. Perhaps humans are sensitive to the flavor due to the potentially toxic nature.

Strangely enough Naringenin is considered a toxin due to its interaction with human biochemistry but is not directly toxic. It allows increased sensitivity to other toxins.
Though, to be fair, some drugs and nutrients are formulated in the GI tract due to microbial activity whose drug interaction and absorption can be directly modified by presence of this chemical.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naringin#Toxicity

The link above indicates Naringin is a chemical isolate apart from 6',7'-Dihydroxybergamottin, the primary interacting furanocoumarin, and both independently suppress the P450 enzyme CYP3A4.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6%27,7%27-Dihydroxybergamottin
