This article seems to fundamentally misunderstand why the testing pyramid is a pyramid in the first place. You shouldn't have more unit tests because they're easier to write. You should have more unit tests because they're easier to maintain. By definition, they focus on a small part of the software and should not break if an unrelated part of the software changes.

Of course, just because each individual part of a machine works, it doesn't mean the machine itself works. That's where integration tests come in. Turns out it's usually fairly easy to make sure all the parts work together once you've verified all of the parts individually, so you usually need fewer integration tests.

Once you've verified all the parts work and that they work together correctly, now all you need to do is make sure you actually made the right thing. Enter functional tests and E2E tests. These are usually especially costly to maintain, but they're also so high-level that you usually need very few of them.

Writing tests is easy, but they're only useful if you run them. It's not enough for a test to work when you write it - it has to continue working into the future. Maintenance is a recurring cost and, in my experience, is where automated testing can get really expensive. The testing pyramid helps minimize that cost.

In an ideal world, you would maximize testing at every level - but in the real world that's often just too expensive.

I reject Bork's novel premise that sole criteria is consumer welfare. Proper antitrust assessment is based on competition.

Rephrasing your point:

Both grocers and aggregators compete with their own partners.

At the very least, in house brands shouldn't have unfair advantage.

Infrastructure is naturally monopoly. Every so often the companies will have a bunch of customer facing shill companies that customers buy. The shill companies then send purchase the infrastructure from the main provider. Examples are MVNO's, natural gas, etc.

I've thru-hiked and "no one" goes by their real names out there (for long). It's just not the way trail community works. There are many people I met and all we know name-wise about each other are our trail names.

I suspect those that didn't want to be on social media at all would have declined to be in the GoPro video for a longer discussion (as I likely would have, but I wouldn't have stopped a passing hiker doing a GoPro recording since that's more in the realm of a dashcam kind of thing). Fellow hikers tend to be respectful about such things.

I can't say I know what's happening with the CLR itself, but they've shipped several major improvements in the language, server, standard library etc that have brought significant performance gains which make .NET Core one of those most performant stacks on the market.

It's quite clear we need to make it illegal.

Canada has just banned single use plastics [1], which is a start but doesn't go nearly far enough.

If we were actually serious we would make single-use plastic bottles and many, many other things illegal too.

It will come, I just fear it will be too late.

I have seen some happy & successful users of the PinePhone[1] on my social network feeds. The price is great, capabilities are all there & supported, the community has been doing a good job scratching-their-own-itches & furthering support. The only thing that's held me back from fully adopting it is that the main camera is 5MP, and I have been feeling a little short with even the 12MP camera on my Samsung S series daily driver.

Exactly - it really is a big advantage to have that performance natively.

There’s a reason external hardware drivers are native on macOS.

Even that would be tough, since I'd guess facial recognition would detect that.
The explanation is largely the same as in the US: It's very expensive to run cable / fibre to the house. It's a natural monopoly.

Having a US incumbent enter the Canadian market isn't going to change that.
My point was to let them know that their site is not getting the point across effectively, not to ask what they do because I can't figure it out.

> "hate" as we understand it today had very little to do with the transition to empire

Fair point. What I was thinking of was the general decline of respect for the (semi-democratic) republican system of governance. The Republic crumbled when politicians stopped using the „constitutional“ means of settling differences and turned to gangs of thugs instead. So I wasn‘t so much thinking of „hate speech“ as of „anti-democratic speech“.

A core criterium of German law is loyalty to the constitution. A number of political rights (the right to free speech, the right to form a political party, the right to hold public office or be employed by the government) are predicated upon the citizen‘s constitutional loyalty, his/her upholding of our democratic values. The idea is that our democracy does not want to aid its enemies in its own destruction, as was partly the case in Weimar.

> it doesn't seem like much of a right if it can be lost so easily

Multiple US states refuse ex-convicts the right to vote. Talking about convicts: prison sentences are nothing but the government stripping you of your right to free movement. Capital punishment is you being denied the right to life. You may object to all three of these forms of punishment, but the fact remains that all countries restrict peoples‘ rights in some way or another. (What constitutes just cause for such a restriction of rights is a fascinating and tough question, but one I unfortunately cannot answer...)
SaltStack reveals new critical vulnerabilities, patch now
Confusing disclosure timeline: While the vulnerabilities were disclosed today, it is worth noting that fixes for all three vulnerabilities were committed and disclosed to GitHub much earlier.

For example, the fix for CVE-2020-16846 was pushed to GitHub as early as August 18th, and the Salt client test cases for the shell injection flaw also mention multiple Zero-Day Initiative (ZDI) IDs, such as ZDI-CAN-11143. The date of the original report on this identifier, however, is June 2020 as shown in BleepingComputer's post.
> mostly blue when the blue party wins and mostly red when the red party wins, which is nigh impossible because that's an incredibly nonlinear process

The 2016 neutralizing map (right below the purple map) does this. I think it more closely matches people's perceptions about how their community aligns politically, too.

Literally white-washing (well, hue-desaturating) less populous areas out communicates something different. If you want to communicate impact on election outcome, then you just need to weight the vote per person based on people per elector instead of totaling the voting population in each area.

I keep hearing about telemetry but how bad is it really? Doesn't macOS collects some as well?
Just wanted to say that it's a really well written piece. Nothing over-dramatized, but the whole story is there.

Which again is strange, since he was found with $3500 on him.
State governments have a lot of power.
Is there a way to have a discussion where we use words according to their ordinary meaning? You said "the government paid ISPs $400 billion dollars." As you acknowledge, money didn't change hands. So nothing was "paid" right?

The government deregulated prices in 1996 for the same reason we deregulated airline fares, truck tariffs, etc. The government wanted to get out of the business of price control. And it didn't just happen in the U.S., it happened all over the world.

Fiber was presented as a benefit that would result from increased capital investment following deregulation. And that happened to an extent--wireline capital expenditure almost doubled from 1996-2001. But after 2000, capital started moving to the fast-growing industry of cellular wireless, where the returns were better. So yeah, we didn't get as much investment in fiber as we expected. But we got huge investments in cellular. That's how free markets work--the government can't predict or direct where capital goes.

The 1996 telecom deregulation wasn't a bargain, where ISPs were allowed to raise prices in exchange for a "promise" to build fiber. It was a deregulation of the industry. It's fair to complain that maybe the benefits of deregulation were oversold. (I can also claim that projections about premiums reductions under Obamacare have been oversold!) I think the 1996 deregulation should have been paired with a preemption of state-and-local broadband construction regulation. (American municipalities regulate in a way that makes it expensive to build infrastructure, whether you're talking about broadband or subway tunnels.) In particular, the nearly universal requirement to agree to service an entire city in exchange for permission to service any part of a city vastly limits the competition that could have been enabled by deregulation.

Its fair to have a debate about the ultimate outcomes of the 1996 deregulation. But its deceitful to act like it was a planned government fiber-construction project where ISPs just "pocketed the money" and didn't build the infrastructure.
Central Bank of Banks BIS to Trial Digital Currency by Year’s End
I understand it to mean that OF the waste the US exports, 88% of that (unquantified) amount ends up somewhere with inadequate capabilities to handle it.

The actual tonnage/proportion of domestically-generated waste being exported I don’t think is referenced anywhere - haven’t gone beyond the article itself yet though.
I agree that investment in an already very overvalued property market is unwise (except perhaps as part of a diversified strategy..?). Unfortunately, the capital gains tax status of real estate in NZ, and the leverage on your deposit (the bank charges 5% interest, you make 30% gains) and fast-rising real estate prices made and still makes it favorable to pay the 6%, rather than investing in the stock market, for example. This further inflates real estate prices as a speculative asset until you end up in a dangerous bubble that is difficult to escape from.

In a sane system, this wouldn't be the case. It's a problem the NZ government has repeatedly failed to solve, presumably because it would be politically risky. Instead it appears we've chosen by inaction to continue the course toward a real estate collapse. I guess perhaps then we'll learn hard lessons about diversification and tail risk..
Room temperature conversion of CO2 to CO: A new way to synthesize hydrocarbons
A corporation exists, just as a thought exists, they are both information and they can both change "reality" quite profoundly. Just because you can't touch it doesn't mean it doesn't exist and can't change things.
The problem is that they haven't unified decades of settings. They further fragmented the settings and made everything much worse. There are still many things you simply cannot do with the new settings app. Now there's several different places (control panel, settings app, policy editor, etc) you need to look to get any configuration changes done - and the next Windows update will probably revert your changes anyway! It's pretty user-hostile at this point.
In California at least, there's already the "C.R.V" - California Redemption Value. This is effectively a tax, added to every bottle sold, available to be redeemed upon being turned into a recycling center.

Even with this, not enough people bother.

The real solution is to make our garbage collection far more efficient. Why do we still separate recyclables and garbage into separate bins? As-if regular people can be trusted to do this without fail? Make it automatic, and a lot of this concern will go away.
This is a strategy we see from both sides. From the other perspective:

Step 1: Create conditions that prevent the government from solving a problem. Step 2: Declare that the public sector has failed and call for privatization.
That isn't really feasible due to the way plastic degrades as it is recycled. When you chop up and melt a plastic bottle the resulting material is no longer suitable for making bottles for example.

We could figure out some plastic waste scheme that works like carbon credits, and that might lead to better outcomes. You could get credits for turning waste PET into insulation or fabric, and have to buy said credits to produce bottles. Though this is sort of off the top of my head and half baked.

This is kind of a side show though in my opinion the overwhelming majority of plastic in the ocean is fishing relater (e.g. abandoned nets) and shipping material that blows off of cargo vessels.

Better monitoring and policing of fishing in international waters could kill a lot of birds with 1 stone.
True. IIRC, some linguists say that you can still find up to 15 cases in Russian, if you look carefully. They mostly remain in some specific situations and can't be properly split into fully-fledged cases. But they are still there :)
I fear not. My termux is installed from f-droid.

I know its a rhetorical question but I very much prefer having shares of CMCSA/VZ/T over the alternatives.

I've always viewed Google, Facebook, Twitter, et. al. as very "soft" companies in terms of their competitive advantage. AT&T literally owns parts of the electromagnetic spectrum for their exclusive use. This is a completely different dimension of advantage.

No but they can be fined as well as "killed". So it's not like there isn't punishment.

I tested this myself. In several of the reclining options, it turns out to be one of the best ways to place the keyboard comfortably. I was skeptical at first too. But if it works, it works.

I have a split keyboard and will have to rig up something custom, but that's half the fun.
Yeah. This is probably my only beef with .NET ecosystem. There are a lot of great open source libraries and whatnot, but what you see comparatively little of is core systems a lot of software depends on being written in .NET Core. I'm mainly thinking about all the type of stuff you see in the Apache Foundation.

The language itself is incredible, and just keeps getting better and better with every release.

It'd be neat to see people turning to .NET when writing those kinds of systems, but maybe it's just not cool enough in the Bay Area.
Just tested a 720p youtube video, works fine. You're likely experiencing high latency rather than low bandwidth.

Still seems silly it's mentioned though, it's trivial to block Tor exits.
So glad I'm not the only one :) there was something weirdly nice about having your foot in one of those machines. Perhaps it was just the effect of going from a hot, probably somewhat uncomfortable show, to the cold metal and freedom.
> Images are basically content addressed

Not really. You can use digests to distinguish a version of a particular repository/image, but you cannot address anything with just the digest.
"This version requires Android 7.0 or newer."

Termux is a great piece of software; I'd love if they would keep supporting older OS versions as well, since it's the kind of software one would keep on that old tablet to be used as a terminal or generally as a Swiss army knife.
SJTU’s MedMNIST: Lightweight AutoML Benchmarking for Medical Image Analysis

Yes but that would need a similar planetary alignment I assume. Could a repeater send orders to voyager too?
Why do I have 2 iCloud drives on my PC with the same files?
The radiologic technician's (aka radiographer) labor would also be part of the cost of the imaging. I suppose this is probably the job title the above comment was looking for.
I found one of these units at an antique store in Maine, sadly the x-ray tube had been removed. Really nice cabinetry though and I thought this would make an awesome steampunk type accent to a workspace at some point.

And while this particular idea had its flaws, the idea of looking at a foot inside a shoe is fundamentally a good one in my opinion. Feet are pretty variable between people and the difference between having the right shoe and the wrong shoe is a good differentiator. I didn't appreciate how much until I got a pair of hiking boots (Asolo) that actually fit my particularly shaped foot. My father-in-law had custom shoes made for him on Hong Kong in the 60's and would send them a check when ever he wanted a new pair.

So startup idea is to use some sort of nuclear imaging technology that has no negative health effects to enhance shoe fitting and thus sales.
OP, based on the Screeps thread, we have a purported Steam profile for MH. Did that yield anything?

Edit: I know that folks thought this was a red herring. Checked the steam profile, power player badge was unlocked on 10/23 but Recently Played shows nothing (might be privacy settings) and last review was 3 years ago. Do badges ever auto-unlock, or could this person have shared a steam account?
Yeah... I thought it's quite simple also. Rider also works on Linux. It's been a great experience for me.
It is not about transcribing, it is about reading/pronounciation.

By convention, in French every time you find written:
"au", "eau", "aux" "aux"
you pronounce it "o".

If you hear "o", it may be "o" or any of the above.

There may be small "nuances" like with Z in some languages that can be hard or soft (there are anyway "coded" rules - not necessarily "simple" - but only a handful of exceptions), Italian:

Consider states like Maine who specifically allocate their electors by vote share rather than in a block to the winner.

Again, calling individual states is neither necessary for a good evaluation nor even helpful to it. It is a further processing step that runs on top of a finished prediction. If you have a vote share distribution, you can convert that into victor probabilities with basic algebra. You cannot operate in the reverse direction, and you cannot develop a good model that directly produces victor probabilities as its output.

I personally switched to firefox on my computers, with DuckDuckGo as my search engine both on computer and mobile. I already use iOS. Still use Gmail, don’t for see leaving it anytime soon, too much of a hassle to find a decent replacement. I have been a passionate user of Google play Music for 7 years, and I would’ve continued, except they took that out from under me. So now I’ve got an Apple music subscription. I stopped using my various Google Home/Nest smart speakers once they made them basically useless unless you enable the Google account setting that lets them track everything everywhere. As soon as you change that privacy setting, Google Homes always respond with “in order for me to help you, turn on activity tracking in your Google account” or something like that.

Basically Google maps and Gmail are my main 2 google services that I haven’t yet moved away from. Apple Maps isn’t quite there yet, especially when it comes to international map data. And Gmail is something I’ve been meaning to swap out but it’s just so tedious to switch and I really don’t like the alternate options I have tried. I also have a Google Fi account for international data, because it’s the best way to get unthrottled unlimited free international data basically anywhere in the world, but I don’t use it as my main phone line domestically.

In 2013 I was one of the first Google Glass explorers and I wore it religiously for 3 years. I was google’s biggest fanboy in every way imaginable. And yet Google abandoned me, not the other way around. My switch off Google was less about privacy issues and more about the Google products and services I used to use have been either getting worse or pulled out from under me, or just aren’t worth account closure risk anymore. There’s also the privacy aspect as well, which wouldn’t be so bad if I still trusted them as a company to do the right thing, but those days are long gone.
Amazing only to those that never looked outside Bell Labs.

Amazing was what Burroughs was doing in 1961, 10 years before C came to be, IBM RISC research in PL/S and PL.8, VAX/VMS stuff in BLISS, Solo OS in Concurrent Pascal, Xerox XDE in Mesa, ....

Those were amazing in the 60's and mid-70's.

Ah, good point - usually people who call themselves "web designers" in the US have degrees in CS and make comfortable 6-figure salaries.
How sci-fi looking. Looks pretty awesome. They needed to add a bit more of a reclining aspect to it though, and allow the monitors to track your eyes in different reclined positions.
Simulation is "not science" in the same way that microscopes are "not science". These are tools that may be used by scientists, but are not themselves 'science'.
You phrase it as if these are hostile takeovers. Having been a founder, I can state that most of my peers wanted acquisitions. It was a way to finance the vision and growth.

Would YouTube, Instagram, or dozens of other companies have been able to get where they are w/o the support of their acquirers? Just think of the burn alone and the required investment is a scary figure.
Aneurism would show up in the autopsy, right? And snake bite in the toxo report?

The reason layers are scoped is so that they can be authed to something. Public only registries don't have this restriction, but otherwise if you saw a reference to a layer then you would be able to access it. The alternatives are to encrypt everything, or shard by access control (potentially to larger chunks than they are now.
