A landfill sequesters the carbon. Burning the plastic puts it into the atmosphere. That's a bad idea.

If the problem is that "recycling" programs don't always recycle, then just landfill it all. Problem solved.
Great question, as an early stage group(not a startup yet), we have also been faced with questions. What recommendations would you have for pre-product converstaions with potential target customer segments?
At the present time they seem to be reasonably available. That wasn't the case when I was looking for them a couple of years ago.
You'd only allow packet loss without re-transmission (e.g. pure UDP) if you really need low latency, like for a video call.

Netflix is pure TCP I'm sure - look up HLS and DASH.
Wow you've got some good engine design sense. Have you by chance shipped a commercial game before? Most open source engines lak such concrete experience and sense.
> Given enough time

What are you even talking about? Humans have existed something like 200,000 years. In 500,000 years from now (or less), evolution will have changed us into something entirely different.
> Right. His dictatorship is so wobbly that he made himself emperor. Which is it?

Are you are being deliberately obtuse?

It's entirely reasonable that his strength and stability could change from "strong" enough to remove his term limits to "wobbly". Or it could have fluctuated towards even stronger. It doesn't matter, the point is that stability is not a constant so your objection doesn't really make sense.
Yes! Asciinema and similar tools were huge inspirations. Editing the video from transcript (like Descript) is certainly a feature for the future. For now, you can use "highlights" to isolate the "the good parts." See this image: https://i.imgur.com/wBLPyAI.png
I too get all my medical advice from the Joe Rogan podcast
I can see a lot of value in having their technology more widely distributed.

The same could be said of the browser tech itself. They could just switch to a webkit engine, have the same market share, and still "gain" whatever it is they are gaining now.
ISPs give the US government absolutely anything they want. You have no real protection from the government because of private ownership, the only difference is now both private organizations AND the government make decisions about your internet access. You also pay more for less vs most countries with more regulated infrastructure or state owned infrastructure.

I'm happy to look at any evidence you have, but everything I have seen indicates US internet is vastly worse than more public-oriented systems, unless you own internet infrastructure.
> But the regulator guide is about GDPR.

The linked URL literally says "Guide to PECR." PECR is the cookie law you're referring to. It is not a guide to GDPR.

Might not be as awesome as a $60k CoeLux, but for 1000x less cost, maybe it's worth a shot?

From what I've gathered from the news, China's regulators was never too concerned about Ant's role as a payment provider, but as a lender.

I don't doubt technical innovation would always be a burden for regulators and lawmakers, but that does not make it fit to say that such innovation are worthless, because they provide a value to the general public, and that should not be stopped because those in the power of authority needs to do more work to make it 'in control'.

Credit card wasn't invented because the lawmakers had drafted the perfect law, nor should mobile payment. The law always comes in afterward, as it should be.
GDPR superceded the Data Protection Directive. The "cookie law" is the ePrivacy Directive, which remains in force.
> I think using the pen plotter to write cursive was my favourite, but the operators hated me when I did that.

Why would they hate you for writing cursive on it? Other than it possibly taking a long time.
That sucks. I'd bite the bullet at this point and use an external phy if you can, at least carve out some board space for it and have it as a backup plan.

Those would probably be SGI Onyx boxes, fyi. I don't know any other machine they had that was purple.

Never saw one. The closest I got to the glory days of SGI workstations was the Indys which at my first real employer had been repurposed as auxiliary web servers. Even then, they were sweet machines.

The mega-FPGA's are irrelevant to the consumer and small business segment.

Sure, the guys doing software defined radio need beefy FPGAs (but, even they're starting to use much lower class ones).

However, over the past 20 years, the things I have seen small businesses use FPGAs for rarely stresses the FPGA fabric even slightly. Only a single company managed to actually fill an FPGA that we had to bump to the next class of the same family.

Mostly the usages are just: 1) extra pins to control/sequence "stuff" or 2) one single latency sensitive thing or 3) ADC communication.

I'm struggling to think of any company I did work for that was outside those applications--"safety lockout" would probably count.

Back in the days of 8-bit micros (yeah ... I'm old), you would probably offload the PID control loops so they didn't clog your micro. Nowadays, microcontrollers are so powerful and FPGAs are so annoying to program that you're better off shunting as much as you can into the micro and minimizing the FPGA.

> Plus, as the number of gates and other elements gets larger, sophisticated software with a lot of domain knowledge becomes more important

I'm going to call this out. I simply don't believe it. The publications of Xilinx and Altera (when there are any) simply look like the same algorithms from 20+ years ago but with Moore's Law applied to them.

FPGA tools still suck at anything that looks like a "datapath".
Tablets are well and good for reading sheet music, but I can't imagine scribbling rehearsal notes / markings on a tablet in a way that's not infuriating.

There is a difference between seeing everything (or at least the vast majority of things) and remembering everything. Assuming that for the most part like items are clumped together it doesn't matter if you can remember if Lay's southern barbecue was in stock it matters if, when strolling down the aisle, you were able to see the majority of the chips in one place.

It's a bit like sequential read vs random read. In a physical store it's largely possible to sequentially read the inventory even if you can't quickly search for individual items randomly quickly. On Amazon you're not going to go through all of the aisles sequentially, at best you go in knowing exactly what virtual aisles you want and then you can sequentially search that and even then the best it's going to work out is the worst case of walking through the entire store for an hour.

Vim Tips for the Intermediate Vim User
I guess it's too big to break up with explosives?
Yes.

Previously they mostly used a typical lamp stack in the front end. The php apps pulled data from Java backend services. They had a strict separation policy.

The different parts of the bbc where essentially different apps with a proxy in front doing path based routing.

You’d generate a RPM with your php app / Java app and that got deployed.

That had a few drawbacks mostly around process, it was a pain to get releases out as had to go through a single team who could deploy your rpm. You also had the inflexibility of a fixed sized pool of servers in a dc you manage.

When they first started using cloud that mostly remained the same but streamlined process. You provide a rpm using the current lamp/Java stack, a build process baked that in to an ami you could deploy. That made deployments more flexible in you was not constrained by the current physical hardware available and removed the dependency having a specific team do the deployment manually on a shared host.

I imagine the hosting started to get expensive with the dedicated hosts per service. Im guessing slowly the more they used aws services and trialing things they ended up where they are which sounds super complex.

I’m not familiar with where they are now other than the article but I’d bet going back to an app such as php, Java, ruby whatever on the fronted and binpacking them with kubernetes would be simpler than dealing with thousands of lambdas on a black box runtime. Most of the stuff at the bbc hits the edge proxies/cache anyway so the remotes are fairly idle.

Yes, but if the state is the only game in town, you can't pop down to the next shop and buy a new SIM card, or order an install from a different provider.
I don't really see how a flying car can pass all the necessary safety requirements to be a production vehicle, including noise and pollution emissions.

I'd guess many places allow for exemption from some or all road vehicle standards under some kind of special-interest vehicle registration?

Might be a cool toy for the rich though, and still a fun concept to see developed.
As a child of divorced parents in Italy, I can confirm. The divorce in in the case was dramatic, repercussions are still around, 27 years later. My father messed up in multiple ways, heavy ones too, but the unilateral vision of the system also forced my easily influenced vision of kid in a certain way for a long time, until I was way older (about 20 years old, my parents divorced when I was 3 and a half).

Up to this day, I'm really conflicted about everything surrounding it. This article says the truth, but it does overlook how painful it is for a 3 years old to have 2 bedrooms and 2 different places to stay. I can confirm that, it's one of the things I suffered the most for. And it goes on until you are much older (14-16-18) when it becomes alienating.

My uncle went through a divorce and things went exactly how described on the article. The mother had no job, she was renting an owned place as income, so she took over their family house and the kids and she got also paid. My uncle was able to fix some of the situation, not sure how, it seems like he got in a better relationship with the ex wife.

It's a nightmare I'd never recommend to anyone and the psychological support I received as a child was not closely enough. I repeatedly had to "choose" between my parents throughout my life, even though it was clearly stated to me by the child support that it should never have happened. That money should have never been between me, my father and my mother, while it was repeatedly and continuously one of the key points. I blame both parents for that, but today I ask myself if the government shouldn't provide a lot more support to me, the kid (and my sister).

Anyway, it's a big mess, I can't help but seeing a lot of truth in what's written.
This is an important problem that doesn't get the attention it should.

Quality high density, and dense time based living is the way forward for the poor to the rich. Be it sleeping downtown in NY city to working suburbs in Hong Kong. Good for efficiency and this is good for mental health.

This is AR that matters. It's nice work.
I'm sorry to bring a cart of wet blankets but this is not a good idea. It must do nothing well because of conflicting requirements between air (low weight and constant speed engine), road (heavy gear like collision protection, transmission, road tires, etc), and lugging all that Transformer magic around. You have to drive to an airport in order to fly to another airport with limited range, and then drive again.

Personal door-to-door aviation is here already: multirotors with what's basically drone software are going to explode in range and utility. The regulations will need to catch up. Kurt Moller had it right but couldn't execute on the vision.
I think the fun started winding down at Sun after the crash in 2000, so he's probably talking at least 25 years ago.
Running a site the size of the BBC on Lambda is nothing short of an exuberant waste of a government-subsidized budget, it's absolutely crazy.

Lambda VM time has a massive markup compared to regular compute. It only makes sense where usage does not exceed some threshold the BBC absolutely certainly do.

There are plenty of alternative options, even on AWS, that don't suffer from such huge markup without requiring any additional ops input. The thing that runs in Lambda is practically a container image already. Does it really cost tangible budget to have CI build a full image rather than a ZIP file that already contains a few million lines of third party JS/Python deps?

IMHO this is the epitome of serverless gone wrong.

GDPR regulates tracking individuals, and is not particular about the means or form. On the whole, GDPR is pretty sensible.

There is an older law called the ePrivacy Directive that regulates cookies. Under this law, cookies require consent even if they are not used for tracking, unless they are strictly necessary for technical reasons. This law is a big pain the butt because many reasonable and legitimate uses for cookies aren't "strictly necessary."

The ePrivacy Directive technically applies to reading or writing data from a browser, so it will equally apply to any fingerprinting method you care to think of.

I was very apprehensive about prettier at first, but I pulled it into a side project of mine and I am never looking back. I absolutely loathe people’s obsession over formatting code. Just let a formatter do it, don’t fuck with the defaults, and work on your business logic instead of bike shedding on perfectly placed spaces.
Even assuming you dedicate such time to it, very often the hardware itself is pretty poor and fails you. I recently had to basically take apart an (admittedly cheap) HP inkjet printer in order to reposition part of a hall-effect switch that helped it detect a paper jam - it was detecting a jam continuously because of it.

And because the same printer hadn't been used in 5 months, I also had to clean the clogged head with a syringe afterwards.
Another happy Brother user here. Our HL-L2360D is rock solid, crisp, duplex and AirPrint is excellent. Cost AU$150 years ago and AU$15 for toner via eBay.
it's not that doctors don't have specialized knowledge that might be stochastically predictive in specific cases, but that their experience, especially around something like a pandemic, skews their perspecive in ways that are very difficult to self-identify and compensate for. and that's on top of doctors holding their own idiosyncratic sociopolitical views too.

in other words, expertise is narrow, and treatment experience isn't research.

I think it depends on what you're used to.

For example, drilling wells is very common, even in densely populated places like New Jersey. When I lived there, having municipal water was very unusual in some surprisingly populated counties.

I think what you're seeing isn't so much squalor in terms of poverty or dirt. I think what you see is the result of people doing things on their own. No one can be an expert at everything. No one can do as good a job as a professional. But if your value some other thing a little higher than the fit and finish of a professional job, DIY is good enough.

China's anti money-laundering law wasn't as strict as US's for sure, but that doesn't mean huge amount of cash flow from one or many accounts to another wouldn't draw red flags.

US banking system works that anyone can use the card even if they just found it on the street, and business owner can charge a card repeatedly for any amount even if the card owner is not present. The room for fraud is huge.

China's debit and credit card alike requires PIN code to send payment, where the owner would be required to confirm the number and enter the PIN code. And it has 2FA as a requirement for online banking, whether that's a text message received on a mobile phone, or a hardware 2FA. There is still room for fraud but a lot smaller.

To say US banks cares and Alipay, Wechat and Chinese banks don't care is kind of absurd. They exist in a almost entirely different financial ecosystem and norms. In the US, fraud protection is necessary otherwise no one would use their cards. While in China, fraud protection still needed, but rarely is the case. Those institutions only did what's necessary.
I want to second the request to learn more about your workflow. I shepherd OSS projects in addition to dev work, and striking a balance between outreach, admin, and getting things done is always a challenge.
Organisms fill every niche on the planet. Any unusual disturbance will kill a lot of them. It doesn't matter. Why do people have this worry about anything changing ever? Nothing will go extinct. Why not be excited about the spectacular event? People are so negative and looking at the gloomy side of so much.
A refreshing approach to IT job offers
I disagree. Taleb's key assertion seems to be that Silver should never have given Clinton a 90% chance of winning with the level of uncertainty in that race. But there were times when Trump having only a 10% of winning seemed completely justified, and I think to say otherwise at this point seems like projecting backward with hindsight.
What was really cool back then was ISDN to your home.

I was doing work with SGI back then and had an Indy at home. It was a nice computer, but there wasn't that much software that really made a difference day-to-day. Sure the debugger could render 3D graphic representations of data in memory, but who cares?

ISDN was a huge upgrade over dial-up. Latency and packet loss was much much lower than dial up which made accessing the early web a totally different experience.

In India, we called them moneylenders and it carries a jail term to engage in such activities. Good to see Wall Street and the West lap up such usurious companies.

You'd go with the latter because it still has the word "free market" in it, though the U.S. economy is not a free market. Again, this would be doublespeak, and you would be a liar. I'm just trying to maintain a grip on the real world here and it's pretty tough when you are so committed to gaslighting yourself and others. Honestly I'm only getting hung up on this right now because I think it's for your own good. You clearly have a loose grasp on reality if you're so eager to ignore government intervention, and you're going to get got sooner or later if you keep on with this irrational belief in free markets.
what's the allure for something like this? to me, it seems like a grasp to hold onto the past which is inevitably unsustainable.

Several regulators have made unambiguous statements that they are not compliant. However, they are not very high on the enforcement priorities.

You'd still have to deal with the glare and chromatic aberration from the mirror sheets. Also the area covered would still be confined to the size of one sheet and you'd have to make a "bank" of them to cover any reasonably large area.
In 2020 it is now possible to simply refuse to use paper or a printer. It's possible to do an all-PDF workflow for most things.

I make do with a little wi-fi thermal sticky label printer, for the few times I need an address label, because I am vehemently opposed to the concept of handwriting. I have a letter laser printer, which I have successfully avoided needing to use.

The only time I've used it in recent memory (2 years?) is to print off updated car insurance documents, current copies of which must be kept in the car by law (and of course they change every six months). My insurance company will mail them to me, but it's faster to just print them than to order them in the app and wait for them to arrive by post. I technically don't need to print them myself.

You just have to be a little bit stubborn in refusing to use paper, and it's possible now.
