I agree whole heartedly. Self hosted JIRA is subjectively 3 times faster than cloud JIRA/Confluence.

I still don’t think they will get through with this. There are too many regulated companies in Germany which self host JIRA for a reason.

I guess this JIRA cloud only is just another way to charge more for self hosted JIRA solutions
Isn't Fox literally the largest cable provider of news in the usa and has been for decades? What is more main stream?
I think people wanted it to be true because they didn't want to believe a man like Trump could be elected President of the United States normally.

I do think the rise of social media has opened up the ability for foreign countries to influence people's beliefs regarding an election, much more than they could in the past (although it's not a new phenomenon and the US is guilty of it as well).

But I also think the 2020 election also helped prove that it's not just foreign influence that can make people vote for someone like Trump, they're perfectly capable of coming to that conclusion on their own. There wasn't just social media influencing this time, they could see with their own eyes what Trump was doing the past four years, not just speculation, and still decided they wanted to support him.
you're talking about the covid relief package that pelosi refused to pass because it would've helped trump's chances at reelection.
You’re right that deltas are still meaningful in aggregate, but in my experience the actions the users take and their retention rates are different. The ad-blocking users are more valuable in my opinion because they are more likely to be power users and advocates for your software. So looking at a graph of feature usage will not accurately portray the weighted value of each feature, based on changes to retention and virality – the devil is in the details.
This is just a quibble, but most switchmode amplifier chips are analog. Granted the term "digital" has been adopted by the audio community for switchmode amplifiers, but it still raises eyebrows.
Arrow got a Nobel prize for showing that ranked ballots are bad, mainly for the reason that when a candidate is dropped the results can change. The absolute best winner is not chosen consistently. Score Voting is the superset of all voting methods. Our Union deserves the best.
There are issues that you get with GraphQL that are generally much easier to solve with REST, though. While it's easy to set up a GraphQL API that technically makes your whole graph available, going off of your default resolver functions alone is going to cause serious performance issues as soon as queries start to get more complex. The default behavior is basically n+1. To fix that, you have to do query introspection, which is significantly more complicated than just having a dedicated endpoint. Depending on your data sources & how easy it is to cache, this can be more or less of a problem.

This isn't to say that GraphQL is bad or anything, but there are definitely some gotchas that are important to evaluate before diving in.

> The two have nothing to do with each other and mentioning the first when I'm talking about the second is deeply disingenuous.

That Russia interfered in US elections has nothing to do with how successful Russia was in interfering with US elections, huh? Amazing logic there.

Those two things aren't equivalent, but the former is a component of the latter. Pretending that they're unrelated is bizarre.

> The other is that the fsb was so wildly successful at it they changes the result of the 2016 election.

I mean, we know that Russia pushed Trump hard. Probably it wasn't enough to sway the election, but it's more than a little disingenuous to pretend that this is equivalent to "Hillary has a satanic pedophile ring" or "Bill Gates is injecting tracker 5G vaccines into people", where they're completely fabricated.
You're missing my point.

" it ends up being a discount on the equity they just purchased." <- is accounted for in the valuation.

There is no 'discount'.

If the VC has to pay for the legal fees then those fees would be deducted from the valuation, and Entrepreneur gets literally 'that much less' in cash, for the same dilution.

It's just accounting, and it doesn't really matter other than everyone has to understand up front that this is how it's going to work.

It's just accounting.
I've seen conflicting reports about this but I'm not going to argue the point. I can certainly see why 20ft would be a problem.

It seems to me the counting authority should have set up some 4K CCTV gear, and/or 4K webcams on an internal network, for the duration. The pandemic gave them ample warning that physical distancing measures would be required.

The earlier post's premise--as pushed by Trump over Twitter--that Republican poll watchers were specifically targeted for exclusion, however, is factually wrong.
This is such genius.

Somebody had to throw cold water on the bubble idea of game streaming.
> I think you're proving my point. Can you just state the fact? You can even add some qualifying statements like I did. But for christ's sake just say it first! No need to go out of your way to find a subset that is (no doubt) excepted from the average. It's politically inconvenient, yes.

It's not just politically inconvenient, it's also lacking a lot of nuance. Native Americans commit crimes at an even higher rate than African Americans do. The two groups share a long history of violent disenfranchisement. Taking the statistics in isolation, yes Native Americans and African Americans do commit crime at higher than average rates. But ignoring structural issues is just as disingenuous as ignoring the data.

> But it's also the truth, and one that might help explain why african americans are more likely to have interactions with police (a group I have no love for, tbh).

Can you prove this cause and effect chain? The rate at which African Americans encounter the police is much greater than the rate at which violent crimes are committed. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I haven't seen any causality research here, but the way you've juxtaposed these claims implies that you believe there's causality here.
Class A amplifiers are "high-end, audiophile quality", class D is about as low as you can go
I agree with you on finding purpose and it certainly brings the sense of our interconnectedness with everything else, which can bring you to a perspective where you’re not stuck thinking about personal pain anymore. However, I also think life doesn’t has to be all about finding purpose or all that. There is so much more world has to offer. Good food, good conversations, beautiful places, hikes, creative art, books, music, movies - I can go on and on. One can build a good happy life just by appreciating everything good he already has. It just takes a very big perspective shift.

Which means a state that is loyal to one party could still screw the popular winner. Yikes.
Yeah, like I said surely there are conspiracy theorists everywhere and the "hippy granola" conspiracy theorists are a group I'm familiar with in the US (usually these are the "holistic medicine", anti-vaccine, unschooling, etc. people). I remember traveling through Germany and seeing tons of alternative medicine physician offices, and was surprised to learn in a lot of European countries you can actually use the socialized/public health systems to pay these "physicians", which I would find infuriating if it were my tax dollars going to that. But that's a bit of a digression. What's important to me is the scale and impact of the delusion moreso than the fact there are at least some deluded people.

Score Voting is the superset of all voting methods. It is quite alright that some people would vote that way, an equivalent style to an Approval ballot. It is difficult to argue that more resolution is worse -- we desire more resolution in our phone screens and monitors, because we get a clearer picture.
Canadian who has been living in the US for 5 years. Perm resident but not naturalized. Arrived a year and a bit before Trump 2016 win.

This election was so polarizing I am very afraid the country can recover from it.

I am worried enough we have bug out bags packed, with critical documents, as I expect this could easily escalate to a civil war as both sides are convinced they are right; and more worrisome is that the other side is so completely corrupted that they are not Americans or humans and should be taken out like the trash.

We have Trump who will not concede and will fight this to his last moment; and then will continue to fight it from the side lines.

We have AOC on twitter asking people to send names for her registry of Trump supporters for future retribution. You know who else kept such lists? Hitler, Mao, Mussolini.

Really scary times down here. Much worse than when Trump won in 2016.

The US needs all the help, prayers, and luck it can muster right now to find it's way through this.

"Masks are bad" was the official government policy in Nordic countries up until August. And still is in Sweden.
That's not necessarily true. The difference is that the streaming services don't have exclusivity on those licenses which is not the case for game services. Additionally, Apple runs its own movie service and allows movies that it has access to screen. The same wouldn't be true for games.
Unfortunately, Approval Voting cannot deliver the best candidate for the job when analyzing the Bayesian Regret. Only minimized best via Score Voting.

Glad to see this as an East Bay resident. Here's hoping it helps the already-existing trend of more tech companies moving across the bay ;-) Or, maybe the San Francisco companies will just fire their low-paid workers or shift them to being employed by a subsidiary to avoid this tax.

It's funny how San Francisco often seems to be both the home of the US tech industry, and the home of opposition to the US tech industry.
> I think it's less notable than the media is making it out to be.

Really? From my perspective, the media has not noted it at all. I had to notice it in a Twitter stream before it disappeared down my feed forever, to know these statistics. It seems more notable than zero, and therefore to me more notable than the media is making it out to be.

I don't disagree with the rest of your comment. Peoples' lives were determined to be better under Trump, so they voted to keep it. Privileged people with the benefit of discounting quality of life bumps that were significant to others but insignificant to themselves, were more likely to vote based on appearances.
You mean 'debt abundance'.

The more interesting question will be how startups are financed after the inevitable global defaults.
That seems orthogonal to my point that what spotify achieved, for me at least, was being a better value for money than copyright infringement. It's worth $10 a month to have all the music accessible in one place.

The licensing agreements that spotify negotiates are between them and the artists, and if artists are unhappy they can take it up with Spotify. But hopefully artists realize that for recorded performances, there is a sweet spot where the convenience of a subscription has a higher value than trivially accessing pirated recordings.
the media overblowing tweets from a moron.

Trump is a man whose recent tweets likely constitute an act of sedition against the president-elect.

For four years, the media overblew some aspects of his presidency, but downplayed others. In history, it has sometimes been unwise to dismiss leaders who behave outrageously: http://depts.washington.edu/depress/nazi_seattle_times.shtml

There's still a chance all this could wrap up with a civil war. It is serious.
A dark secret of power amp design is that the power supply is half the battle. Note that this design uses a conventional line frequency transformer rather than a switchmode power supply. Making an all-switchmode amp is actually a bit of a challenge. I've been there. My home stereo is a cheap switchmode power amp board, but the power supply is line frequency, as a concession after I discovered that powering it from a switchmode power supply makes it put out all sort of weird noises.

An extremely nice product are the "IcePower" modules made by Bang and Olufsen, which incorporate both power supply and power amp into a single board. So they've worked out the bugs of making the parts play nicely together. These are now the jellybean power amps in smaller musical instrument amplifiers, of which I own a couple.
Parquet is intended as a file storage format primarily. When streaming, I think you are recommended to use Arrow, which is basically an in-memory Parquet. It supports putting the schema first and streaming a undefined number of rows.

My kids, now out of the house, can all tell time in analog, hand form, and could as very young kids. They were '00 era kids and I had fun exposing them to older tech. Was not too notable.

Their fave was a turntable and that pile of great 12" singles.

They hated, and I mean viscerally hated the old dial bell telephone proper! Solid, well expressed hate, except for audio quality. They noticed, unprompted. Computers, games, etc... all were just fun, no big.

For a couple years, I had an HP Palmtop in the car for road trips. They played text adventure games on it. One of the oldest would read and the group would decide what to do. Wonder if they remember now?

One child is struggling with meth so I am raising another little one now. The gap is much larger now too! Can really feel it.

So far, she cannot read an analog clock. We just discussed getting one too. I will look around for a cool one with a continuous second hand and great markings. (No marks can come later)

She LOVES VHS!

A neighbor sold an entire Disney VHS collection for 20 bucks. I have a good VCR for capturing old family movies, so I bought it just on a lark, curious.

Papa, it does stuff, makes noises!

What is rewind? I don't like rewind papa.

Do I thank it for giving the movie back to me when it is all done?

I will be frank. Some of this fun makes me feel old. But, I sometimes feel young too! Memories come back and it is real fun to explore things through her very different eyes.

I will also say the UX work is paying off in some respects. I feel we are hobbling skilled users at times, but new ones have it very good in some respects too.

She is learning to read. Very visually driven otherwise. The icons, cues, flow makes basic sense to her and for the most part, she uses tech easily and fairly effectively for her age. Desktop computer, iPad, Roku, and an analog radio see regular use. Questions are about doing more, not so much how.

Yeah, a ramble. Well, maybe this was more fun than current events.
Forgive me, I'm not an audiophile, but am curious about it.

What is the constraint(s) that makes good audio equipment expensive?

Is it about components that can handle enough power? Is it avoiding distortion? Or both of the above (or other factors) for the price that components are available on the market?

Looking at some of the photos of components in the amplifier, it looks way dumber and less sophisticated than a Raspberry Pi. Why has the cost of an amplifier not come down to say, $100?

And maybe related, why does a "good" pair of noise cancelling headphones cost $300 and not $50? Is there something related?
Does it actually behave like having a literal eval in the function?
The issue with that is that you can end up with ineffective 'rainbow coalition' governments. It can also give Independents far too much power since they can threaten to collapse a coalition at any time.

Neanderthals and Humans Were at War for over 100k Years, Evidence Shows
It pains me to see that well-meaning people fail to do a basic pass on 2nd order effects of this tax:

- Since "high CEO pay" is defined as 100x multiple of average pay, the first unintended incentive is for companies to cut back on hiring low-end labor, or 1099/outsource so that they do not drag down the average pay. This directly harms the employment prospects of people at the bottom.

- If it succeeds in reducing CEO pay, it's not clear that the money is redistributed to other employees, as opposed retained to by the company as capital, or returned to shareholders. And not that this matters much. Even if you were to redistribute, say Bobby Kottick's $30M compensation, it would result in a net-gain of ~$270 per month per employee at Activision. That is assuming the CEO's pay goes to ZERO. If this tax only results in a net -10% change in CEO pay, it's actual economic benefit to other workers is a rounding error.

- This arbitrarily favors companies of certain structure vs others. For example, a VC firm or Law firm has an extremely high average pay, while any operation that likely involves "real economy" employs a legion of low-pay workers. The CEO of a large, meat-and-potatoes kind of operation is far more likely to be dinged by the 100x rule than the head of a high end professional partnership. Why are VC firms special in the eyes of this law?

Nothing stops someone from making an aimbot for a machine gun. That can kill a lot of people fast.

I mean the only reason this seems sarcastic is because the web predates the App Store by a few decades and so we are used to the web working this way. If the concept had come up after the App Store had been published, Apple would have done exactly this.

Resistance based measurements are pretty poor especially with only 2-4 points of contact, the accurate ones are displacement based like bodypod and X-ray based.

I’m actually surprised that this isn’t something that people have thrown ML at yet, it seems like a problem that an IR camera with 360 degree body imaging and a good model might actually be able to solve.
There’s as many exceptions to that rule as there are examples: Twitch, video conferencing (Zoom, Teams, etc), text chat (Slack, IRC, Telegram, WhatsApp), social media (Twitter, Facebook), web pages themselves.

I think the reason is Apple are making a stand here is simply because Xbox and Google have released subscriptions games streaming services after Apple released a subscription gaming service (albeit not streaming) whereas the other exceptions were released before Apple entered its own subscription services into those respective markets.
Stop worrying. There have been popular conspiracy theories for ages. Aliens abducted by the CIA, JFK assassination, Moon landing hoax, 9/11 truthers, Illuminati, chemtrails, 5G, and the biggest one of all that you'll never escape from - religions. It's OK that people have different beliefs from you. You probably believe in some things, even dangerous things, that are obviously wrong too without realizing it.

People worrying about Qanon might just be suffering from selection and recency biases. If you don't quantify it and compare it to other conspiracy theories that you already tolerate, it might be an illusion. So much of this culture war stuff seems to be driven by those biases and complete failure to understand the scale of anything. Using instead, the frequency of news report and social media posts to estimate how popular an idea is.
