Why understanding is that isn't quite true (though I may be wrong). I've been told that Amtrak does have scheduled slots but, if they miss the slot, they're now at the mercy of the freight trains. And the rail network in most of the country is optimized for freight trains which can be extremely long and slow.

Stop giving Amazon money. Don’t buy stuff from eBay. Don’t use Google, Gmail, Chrome. Don’t give Comcast your business. Don’t use Windows. Avoid Apple and their predatory App Store fees. Don’t buy stuff from Walmart. Don’t give Sony your money. And the list goes on..

You see where I am going? This will never work. David cannot win over Goliath every single time.

That’s why we need another giant, the government, to fight for us.

But we don’t want the government to interfere with capitalism, do we? We want to have our pie and eat it too.
> If someone goes postal, then I guess there should be several normal folks at Apple already carrying and able to protect the general public.

So your solution is other, probably lesser-trained, individual Apple employees should be concealed-carrying so they can respond to a workplace shooting? Let's ignore that Apple probably doesn't allow this in the first place but even if they did I would not want to work in an environment where my coworkers were walking around with guns all the time. I have no problem with guns or CCW but in the workplace is a different story for me.
I think this is a really great concept. Do you generally evaluate companies on your own before applying, like looking at their website copy, LinkedIn profiles, Glassdoor, any blog posts, etc, or do you ask direct questions about this in interviews? Or is there some other way you suss out this kind of tech culture?
Interesting correlation between hardware and software, the iOS14 (2020) tree map looks complicated, and requires a great processor 5nm M1 SoC with 16 billion transistors (2020), with harware tree map is even more complex with. Probably, the future software iOS30 (2030) tree map will look as complex as the M1 (2020) chip itself and will require an <5nm Mxx chip, the tree map of which will be even more complex

PS: iOS apps can run on Mac with new M1 chip or iOS device with ARM chip like Apple A14 Bionic

I think the idea is not to replace reducing with removal but to supplement it.

There is no substitute for reducing emissions and completely transitioning to zero emissions but we already have such an excess of CO2 in the atmosphere that to get that is under control we also need to remove carbon.

Net-zero is the ultimate, sustainable goal but we'll need to even be carbon negative for a bit to undo the gigatons of carbon humanity has pumped out.
It's too bad capitalism doesn't work the way we're told as children that it's supposed to work. The US has various captive markets with very limited competition. It's time to end this.
> a bunch of FAANG driven contributions tend to make projects focused too much on particular use cases

This is one of the challenges we have, as a project, in this next phase of its life: make sure that we are helping organizations achieve their goals, while not allowing it to be totally directed by them. Rust governance is set up to be resilient to takeovers by any one organization, but we're now playing with some of the most powerful organizations on the planet. We're glad to have them, but we do have to make sure that we make Rust what we want it to be, and not purely what various large tech companies want it to be. It's a delicate balance.

I thought the handicapped spot story and the every-six-months-new-car-for-no-plates story were separate. Steve didn't want a license plate on his car because he thought it messed up the aesthetics. He was also a jerk and parked in the handicapped spot because he could.
When you live minute by minute in problem solving a very detailed, specific thing within a broader goal, you start to think that the detailed, specific thing is the outcome and is very important.

But it is not. To most people.

Most people are not knowledgeable about your specific problem or challenge. Most people don't care, or don't have the time to care. If they understood it all, they wouldn't be asking for a meeting.

What they need to know is not all the process and challenges you overcame, but the outcome. What did you achieve, what were you not able to achieve, what do you need to finish the problem?

If you cannot provide those level of answers (and quite early in the presentation), then people are going to get lost (or turn off) if they don't have the mental / time resources to understand the minute details of what you're trying to tell them.

Unless you're giving a purely technical talk, you need to think about the implications of your work, not just give a summary of it. Summary is condensing all the things you did, but staying at the same level of detail. Implications take additional work to think through.

Showing lines of code is not telling people the implications and conclusions of your work. It's showing them process. It's boring. Showing them tensorboards (unless something really interesting happened) is also not implications.

It takes work. You have to think through, and put yourself into the shoes of someone who has not followed your work at the detail level, and spoon feed them decisions they can make based on your findings, not your process. If you were presenting to the CEO for 5 minutes, would you be talking about your gradient descent optimization? No, you should be thinking, what does the CEO need to know to act on the information I'm providing? You need to do the thinking for the other person, and have thought through that yourself.

And just once again, please for the love of god, don't show lines of code.
Oil and gas companies (and many companies) are going to continue to use fossil fuels regardless of whether or not we invest in direct capture. By your logic, I could say that investing in soil remediation also incentivizes people to keep driving their ICE vehicles...

The point is that we are almost certainly going to blow past the 1.5 degree C (and likely 2 degree C) mark if we continue to decarbonize at a slow pace. To avoid this fate, we need to do rapidly electrify everything AND we need to remove carbon from the atmosphere.

Direct air capture will never be free, but compared to the cost of future negative climate change impacts the cost of direct air capture could be totally justified. At the very least, it is worth investing in the technology to see if it can become a game changer.

Would be interesting to plot this trend normalized to transistor efficiency.

> I've tried ordering direct from the manufacturer. It's true that authenticity is higher, but everything else is worse.

Be careful though. I have found, like OP, that everything about Amazon has been getting worse over time.

Free shipping? Well, if you forget that your'e paying for Amazon Prime itself. Also, it seems less things I have been buying of late qualify for Amazon Prime. Is it a change in my spending habits or are Prime products as a percentage of all Amazon goods shrinking? I don't know.

As for the 5% cashback credit card — I have the same. But I am increasingly finding that prices at Amazon are not competitive when I look around. Storage bins at Lowes, a good deal more than 5% less than the same product at Amazon. An electric chainsaw, same brand model, more than 5% less at Home Depot than Amazon. I know it's anecdotal (and many other things are the same price when I shop around) but I am beginning to wonder if Amazon is getting their "free shipping" and 5% back in other ways....

The only places where carbon capture is currently effective are very carbon-rich, like a billowing smokestack.

The idea of a device like you propose is so far away, it's a pipe dream.
Check out carbfix in Iceland who do exactly that. Use geothermal heat to capture and store atmospheric carbon.

It's early but promising. As with all technologies they need demand and development to bring efficiency up and costs down.

You are clearly correct. All constitutional scholars seem to agree on this. The founding fathers were very concerned about the possibility of future tyranny from government they were crafting. Ensuring that the citizens had guns, and limiting the power of the government were both ways to prevent such tyranny. It's a shame that more people do not understand the mindset of the founding fathers. (Not to imply that they all had a common view on this. There was much disagreement and negotiation.)

I was always under the impression this was less about being cheap, but more about being really idiosyncratic about the way license plates look on cars.

Leasing a new car every 6 months is not cheap. It literally costs 6x as much as leasing the exact same car every 3 years (the industry norm).

What you described can be the path to fast action on climate change. Only a few more steps are required:

* Cover every rooftop, every parking lot, every desert with solar panels as much as we can. Cover every windy plain with wind turbines. Take all the excess power and instead of building expensive batteries, use it to power this CO2 -> synthetic liquid fuel process.

* Carbon tax on any "fossil" fuel sources (anything from the ground). Make it expensive so the synthetic fuel is competitive. There's other ways too (like requiring X% mix of carbon neutral synthetic fuel, just like they do now with ethanol). Slowly increase the percent over time.

* All the old infrastructure (existing cars, gas power plants, ships, trains, buses, airplanes, etc.) becomes more and more carbon neutral as the fuel becomes more synthetic.

Even with the most optimistic EV car adoption projections, there will still be millions of gas cars out there. Other old carbon fuel based infrastructure (such as power plants) are hard to replace because solar/wind are not steady sources of power.

This path addressees the weaknesses of solar/wind (how to store excess energy) and how to quickly transition existing infrastructure to carbon neutral.
Or give your money to all of them equally, so that you will always have more choices to choose from.

I feel like you're making the mistake that the governments represent the people here. The peace is between the people, not the governments, its the governments that want to fight and want to keep the people apart so they don't realise the peace.

As an analyst, something in me twitches involuntarily at your response. By people like this you mean redditors doing internet sleuthing?

But redditors doing internet sleuthing could be anyone; from detectives, to judges, to professional analysts, to trolls, to pr firms, to fraudsters and framers.

The evidence they use can be anything from high quality to low/ fraudulent.

And then we have the fact that the alternative official systems also have incentives/disincentives and also get things wrong: imagine writing about police or courts "they once fingered the wrong person for crime X, so don't put too much stock in it when it really matters".

if the Wikipedia article is anything to go by, the Boston bombing case was a bunch of internet people reacting on a rumour of similarity to descriptors/ images released by the authorities.

whereas in this case, a smart fellow follows a systematic and logical system to come to a reasonable conclusion.

I'd rather tell people to learn to judge evidence and the analytical thought that goes into making the conclusions.

Of course, we mustn't entirely discount the possibility that all this is just some PR stunt and this guy is in on it :p But either way, I'd say the better message is to learn to be skeptical, think analytically, and judge things on the quality of the evidence and the thought process used to come to the conclusion.

umatrix lets you block lots of other parts. Microsoft sites are a cesspool of tracking and cross-tracking.

Back laptops are older Elitebooks, front ones ZBooks. Since I can't seem to sell my old laptops, I found a use for them. I had a better multi monitor setup, but unfortunately it would've been impossible to pack and move.

Works really well tbh, either as a multi-monitor setup for one machine or as separate machines for different tasks.

But what I really want is to shove some new hardware into an old Elitebook 8530w chassis, I love that design!
Applications of Java and Rust do not overlap. As a big data engineer, Rust does not provide any advantage to me. Good luck rewritting all the big data tools from Java (Elasticsearch, Spark, Kafka, Hadoop, Neo4j, Deeplearning4j, Cassandra, Solr, Arrow, OrientDB) and all the scientific stuff from C++ (Eigen, Tensorflow, PyTorch, Jax, Halide, OpenCV and the multitude of resources for CUDA and OpenCL) and databases (MySQL, MongoDB). If I want to contribute to LLVM or JVM, they are C++, the browsers are all C++. Unreal Engine and Unity (IL2CPP and engine) are all C++. Are you doing microVMs or drivers? Then probably Rust is a good investment (discutable), otherwise, I would wait for better alternatives. I will stick to Java, Scala, Python and C++ for the foreseeable future.

EDIT: may the downvotes come from the idealists that hammer down pragmatists, like our opinion doesn't even count
If we could stop emitting today there is still a significant excess of CO2 that needs to be removed to stabilise our climate.

Removal is not a substitute for reducing, it's a complimentary approach required for a long term, sustainable, net-zero society.

To clarify:

# freebsd-update fetch install

This is for updating to a newer patch of the current release.

# freebsd-update upgrade -r <release>

This is for getting to a new release (e.g. going from 12.2 to 13.0).
The screen play was actually written first by both Kubrick and Clarke, the novel was released after the movie came out. I think it’s fair to give them both credit.

Normally, I'd say that actually cheats the federal government out of tax revenue (for now), but Apple actually is incorporated in California, not Delaware, and California has various corporate taxes.

That said, it doesn't make sense for the global profits of a company like Apple to get taxed in California or Cupertino. The accounting isn't necessarily easy, but it makes more sense to tax where was money was made (which is murky and complicated) than to funnel it all to the HQ; Apple is more than just a spaceship in one city.

This isn't to say Apple isn't doing things to avoid paying taxes, either. My point is that using corporate taxes of a company with global sales to solve local issues doesn't make sense.
Microsoft has C#, F# and Visual Basic that are rather more significant than Project Verona.

I'm currently on the phone with Amazon because I'm trying to figure out how to turn sidewalk off. the menu doesn't actually appear. it's on by default and there's no way to turn it off even with the most up-to-date version of the app. Amazon seems incredulous and doesn't seem to believe me but that setting doesn't exist in version 2.2372932.0 of the Alexa app
I don't think Siri is the worst if you're familiar with ways that you can work with it.

3) I am doing X/Y/Z, eg feature engineering, to improve accuracy
> To play devils advocate, masks could be ineffective if people tend to behave in more dangerous ways while comforted by wearing a mask. For example, by spending more time around people, frequently touching public objects, standing much closer to people, etc.

I think that was one of the fears in the first place, and one reason why the CDC didn't initially recommend masks for the general population. However, experience has shown that many Americans will "tend to behave in more dangerous ways" during the pandemic even without a mask, so that fear was unfounded.
