3. Suspend and battery usage are, in general, still a decade behind the competition.

One common exception is the so called grease payments which you’ll need to get anything done in any reasonable time frame.

> Regarding payments to foreign officials, the act draws a distinction between bribery and facilitation or "grease payments", which may be permissible under the FCPA, but may still violate local laws. The primary distinction is that grease payments or facilitation payments are made to an official to expedite his performance of the routine duties he is already bound to perform.

How to Maximize Your Impact as a Machine Learning Engineer
I tried it out about a month ago, and my sense was it's definitely on the right track, but I wouldn't by any means put it into production yet. The UI was surprisingly useful rather than gimmicky, and the use of types was very cool. I was particularly impressed with the migrations framework, which was really easy to work with.

I didn't get too far into it, though, because at the time it didn't support the Haskell language server, which made exploring the framework hard. They've added support for that since then, so I'm looking forward to trying it again. I'd also love to hear people's experiences, if anyone has gotten further in it.
My understanding is there is an exception for bribes needed to get an otherwise typical process complete. In other words, you’re entitled to some permit, but without a bribe you’d never get it or not get it in a reasonable period of time.

Such a payment is considered a grease payment (and not a bribe), which is lawful under FCPA.

People forget that facilitation fees were the norm not long ago: in Britain in 18th century you'd have to pay the judge for judging you and the prison for keeping you. You can imagine that the size of your payment greatly influenced how you were treated.

In Russia prior to USSR, facilitation fees is how all officials earned money, that was the official policy. That's only 100 years ago that is was not even considered corruption / bribery. Obviously that disease is still festering in Russia and the country as a whole is paying a grave toll for it.

Lastly, do keep in mind that as a local you can probably tell is a payment can be declined withoit repercussions, but as a foreigner you don't really know.

What gateway is the TV using? You can put your own router in front of the ISP one, and set your computers including your TV to use your router as the gateway, not the ISP one. Relying 100% on a third party router (where you do not control the OS) is similar relying 100% on a third party DNS provider (many PiHoles are set up to use third party DNS providers). This is willingly delegating 100% control to a third party. Some of that control can be retained if desired by using own router (with OS you can fully control), or in the case of DNS by using own DNS that you can fully control.

"The Innovator's Dilemma," https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innovator%27s_Dilemma, explains the situation very clearly. It's a pattern that repeats itself over and over. Intel hasn't been able to prepare itself for disruption from ARM. The graphs in the article clearly show how ARM is disrupting x86.

The book that I link to provides many examples, but it focuses on how hard drive companies struggled every time the physical size of the disk shrunk. Even when they knew "it's time to make a smaller disk," they'd do something silly and be non-competative.

In the case of Intel, when I interned in 2002, they knew mobile was coming and tried to set themselves up for it... But the rules of selling chips to phone makers are different than seeking chips for PCs. (Just like what the book explained in its examples.) In Intel's case, the margins were too slim in mobile... Which is a typical symptom of how a company gets disrupted.

> Are the employees at AMD naturally risk takers?

Don't confuse AMD (company) with ARM (architecture). ARM chips power all mobile phones and smart TVs. They're cheaper, and now are going to be better than x86 for PCs. (High performance, low power, low cost.) This is a textbook example of distribution. What you'll see are smart TV and phone manufacturers selling ARM PCs that are cheaper than x86 PCs, but perform better. Don't believe me? Just wait until someone realizes that all they need to do is swap Android TV out for Windows (ARM) in their assembly line for their smaller smart TVs, and throw a keyboard and mouse in the box instead of a remote.

(FWIW: AMD was never a threat to Intel. They couldn't manufacture in big enough volume.)
I don’t agree with this take because it was clearly self serving most of the time and to a ridiculous extent, not an ethical gray area.

I love short to medium games. I enjoy story progression and the accomplishment of finishing. I find longer games to much of a time commitment. The last AAA game I quit was Mass Effect Andromeda. I loved the first two games. I love the world building of the series. But the game loop was so repetitive with very little story progression as I went from planet to planet not really discovering anything new. A good story is told succinctly in just the amount of time needed. This is why Breaking Bad is a better story than Lost. Because Breaking Bad had a beginning, middle, and end and each part had purpose that aligned with the others.

Why is Node.js Buffer Unsafe? (2015)
Another statistic that's difficult to compare is homelessness.

On first glance, New Zealand (0.94%) and Australia (0.48%) top the OECD for rate of homelessness, as they include people living in temporary accomodation (sleeping on a couch, motels, etc.) or cars as homeless. Whereas Japan (with the 0.00%) only counts people sleeping rough). Comparing unemployment rates has similar issues.

Comparing these kinds of rates between countries on an absolute basis is largely useless. However, the change in these rates can give insight on how events (political, economic, etc) have changed the demographics and socioeconomic status of countries.

Nix feels pretty close to "right thing to do", but if the other solutions are more successful, it's a case of "worse is better".

I think the important part is usability compared to what's already there. It's much easier to write a Dockerfile than to write something with Nix. You can get much stronger benefits from Nix than from a Dockerfile.. but, most of which you don't really need all the time.

My impression is the other solutions are quick-ish hacks to solve problems that come from (and building upon) the complexities of systems built using quick-ish hacks. Nix feels like a more elegant solution, but it's also different enough that it's got a steep learning curve for anything harder than "install foo".

Unfortunately, not only is it explicable, its common practice.

To make things worse, the political connections of those involved in this massive crime allowed their names to be mostly excised from the reporting of this story in a variety of news outlets despite the case being covered for more than a year.

So you won't seek medical treatment at a hospital if you get injured or become severely ill? Or do you plan to go to the hospital and pay out of pocket? Or, like some other voluntarily uninsured people, will you ask for medical treatment and then just not pay?

> than work a low waged job and pay for Obamacare.

Why would a "low waged" job be a requirement, unless that's the only job you can get? You can pay for Obamacare with a middle or high wage job too. You can also pay for it if you are self employed (which is a lot of people on Obamacare).
Bad example on my part. Let’s just say to have a conversation with a neighbor on any particular subject.

So many articles and books cite Frances Yates' "The Art of Memory", but it seems almost nobody has actually read it judging by which parts are typically cited. After years of nagging curiosity (especially after reading "Moonwalking with Einstein") I eventually dove in and found it fascinating. The book has little concern for mnemonics, per se. Instead it traces the evolution of the Method of Loci from a humdrum technique taught to every student in Plato's time to an obscure technique only monastics practiced (almost unknowingly) in the Middle Ages to an esoteric aspect of Renaissance paintings that had nothing to do with mnemonics.

Of course, much of it is based on thin evidence given that after Ancient Greece very few people ever wrote about the method itself--IIRC, by the time of Cicero who obliquely referenced it, it was probably beginning to wane as a purely practical method of instruction, and by the time of Augustine it's roots and original function had likely already been forgotten. But she makes a very cold, scholarly (at least scholarly to someone lacking a Ph.D in ancient literature or art) and utterly persuasive argument.

In particular, it partly explains practices like the Stations of the Cross, which are central to the architecture of Christian cathedrals. And it helps to explain the evolution of the use of sophisticated and, over the centuries, increasingly esoteric symbolism in European art--far beyond what is typical in other cultures. Perhaps most importantly, though, it really helps to frame much of Plato's philosophy: the usefulness of the Method of Loci was (arguably) to Plato a reflection of the superiority of ideas over physical manifestations; when you're using the Method of Loci, and your memory in general, you're [more closely] interacting with real reality. IOW, the Method of Loci was like Machine Learning today: a practical yet seemingly magical technique that some eager scholars believed hinted at deeper truths about the mind and human experience.

To anybody who liked "Moonwalking with Einstein": if you found the historical bits interesting, and are up to less entertaining reading, though still fascinating journey, I highly recommend "The Art of Memory".
