Mishima in the Twenty First Century
We applied for a returning resident visa. She went in for the appointment, with all the documentation, and that's when the consular told her that unless she'd been in a coma for the last several years, it was within her power to return. She could have divorced me and returned to the US, therefore the criteria for the RRV did not apply. She was told to submit for the IR-1.
> we have supported bad leaders in lots of places, from Cuba and Korea to Vietnam, that didn’t start menacing their neighbours and sponsoring terrorists

I'd argue Cuba suffered worse sanctions than Iran and yeah, their government is much more humane than Iran's.
Yeah, I think he had his backdoor active only when port knocked to make it harder for the admins to detect it.
I took a few of these exams and I think if you can pass them you really know something about AWS.

But I don't like them. They are very broad and often ask quesions about legacy services. You don't need to know all the intrinsics of EC2/VPCs if all you use is Lambda.

If you want to get a good overview over AWS tech, take the associate exams.

If you want to learn every detail about AWS, take the speciality and professional exams.

But if you wanna build something good quickly, your time and money is better invested in courses focusing on specific problems or technologies.

Another fine example was my cousin who apprehended someone stealing post from some flats. Eventually he had to let the guy go because he was too tired to maintain an advantage after the police failed to come out when a resident called them.
I forgot windows on ARM extended to Win10. Right; the new CPUs on Surfaces are MS ARM chips.
All major tech has a new existential threat. Once Apple begins replacing its data centers with Apple Silicon chips it will create unbeatable economies in services.

The rest of faang must find a way to catch up. They will already pay huge amounts in the meantime giving Apple even greater latitude to win coming new markets.

There’s also clear opportunity for Apple to enable developers with cheaper services than other providers. This is a major issue for Amazon and Microsoft.

Most of those have nothing to do with carpet or furniture. And it’s hard to imagine that whatever a vacuum does to kick them up is worse for you than just breathing them in all the time and disturbing them when you walk.

But really, that’s a case for a robot vacuum because it can eliminate the stuff when you’re not there.

The egregious complaints are corroborated by the other egregious complaints.

Let's use another example in which evidence is hard to find: sexual assault. If one woman accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault, the burden of proof for her story is high. She would need some pretty strong evidence to get Cosby charged let alone convicted. She probably wouldn't even receive coverage in the mainstream media without some other form of evidence. However the entire situation would change if she was one of 60 women coming forward. Suddenly the burden of proof for that first woman is greatly diminished. Each individual's story is corroborated by someone else having a very similar story.

Nonsense! I’ve been part of the Swiss startup scene for more than a decade and there are plenty of interesting startups and opportunities. If there is a lack of anything, it is technical co-founders that are willing to take a risk. (Working at Google is just too convenient.)

Back in the Andy Grove era Intel exited its original business (memory) while it was profitable, foreseeing its rapid commoditization. The Intel of today sold off its excellent ARM business (acquired from DEC) and is incapable of doing anything but ride a sinking ship to doom.
memcpy() by itself cannot violate aliasing rules. By definition, char can alias any object.

Whether you can access an object that has been memcpy()'d into is a separate question. I can't find specific language about this, but I strongly suspect that the result is implementation-defined or unspecified (not undefined), unless there is a possibility of a trap representation.
That's what the bike industry wants people to believe so they have motivation to buy upgrades. 3x cranks weren't dropping like flies for 99.9% of users.

You can have political thoughts. But these employees demanded in tears that upper management break their silence on an on-going case (which they decided was due to skin color, racism, and police violence/murder, when these interpretations are far from clear).

So what about the "political" thoughts, that said that Floyd was a career criminal unworthy of sainthood or role modeling, dying from a self-inflicted fentanyl overdose, and resisting arrest (where the other people in the car somehow received fair treatment, despite their skin color). It was gross to hear company's talk of police murder and police racism, and their devastation of the passing of someone they don't know, and wouldn't have known if they were Latin or Asian or Indian or basically any other minority.

The Ryzen 5800U is all but confirmed to still be on TSMC 7nm. The Zen3 desktop counterparts are also still on 7nm. There's a good chance it'll be 2022 before we see AMD chips on 5nm unfortunately, almost certainly for mobile chips.

Having said that, the 5800U might not be too far off the M1 in raw performance even on the older process. AMD's improvements on the same node for Zen3 are pretty good!
Okay, yes, we're on the same page.

If they're not in the US though (as a Canadian), they're not a resident, and therefore not a "foreign resident".

The entire situation is weird because as we both mentioned elsewhere, the correct approach here is a PEO (or setting up the appropriate hiring organization in Canada), rather than claiming to live (or work) in the US in order to get a TN (either or which would subject them to US taxation), and then claim to not when it comes to taxes.
It's mostly a mix of this and financial means in terms of explanatory power. HN seems to routinely forget that about 64% of Americans 25+ don't have anything beyond a high school degree. Since financial means also probably correlates with employee potential, the signal works in the same direction regardless of the explanation.

The people who were smart enough to go to college but didn't broadly fall into two buckets: (1) insufficient financial means, (2) nonconformists. I strongly suspect the latter group are statistical outliers.
Not true. You actually can. Aliasing is about viewing the same bits as two different types (what `reinterpret_cast`, union-based type punning, and cast pointers do) `memcpy` copies the bits to a new location which doesn’t violate aliasing. I don’t have time to find the reference in the standard, but cppreference.com[0] says it’s ok:

> Where strict aliasing prohibits examining the same memory as values of two different types, std::memcpy may be used to convert the values.

When addressing a problem like organizing a liberal democracy of >100 million people, there is more than one question to address.

First you have to look at the biological/tribal tendency of the human species. As a species, there is a specific number that we tend to break into, that we can conceptualize, and past that it is difficult to wrap our heads around on an instinctual level. We can cognitively grasp a nation of greater than one hundred million, just like we can cognitively grasp an ever expanding universe, but on a visceral level, it doesn't exist. So, you'll have to tackle breaking down people into units they can comprehend on a visceral level while maintaining a national identity and not creating splinter groups and intergroup competition. No small feat.

Second is the actual governance of this 100+ million people. The actual administration and paperwork (well digital and greatly automated, hopefully). But, the communication, repairs, money system, transportation, food network, etc. etc. For a group this size, this is a Herculean task to be orchestrated and to keep out corruption, good luck.... Oh yeah. Crime and military fall into this category, as well.

There are others that I can't think of off the top of my head, but there are more. The best way (at least to me) is to think of an abstract. The horrible question, "What does a liberal democracy of 100+ million animals of this type require?" Then break down those answers into solutions. Usually those solutions are code functions, but in this case they are practical solutions.
There is no identity politics - which in itself isn't bad or "goofiness" by the way - when the author is read as part of the writing. Most critical comments mentioned Graham's biography for specific reasons that correspond to the writing.

There's no issue at all with having two companies submit your name into the lottery as long as both are bona fide companies and bona job offers. There's no question that the H-1B is the best option to work for the tech company and an O-1 might be an option to work for your own company, although probably not until it hs some "traction." Regarding Canadian immigration, email me and I can refer you the names of some good immigration forms there.
Iran scientist linked to military nuclear program killed
What are his arguments? That's what I'm puzzled about.

Usually an argument is a series of premises followed by discussion of how those premises combine to lead to a conclusion. The conclusion can be deductive or inductive. I am not demanding a scientific or sociological proof - but there is not even an attempt at explaining why these premises hold. There are two types of people in this world - independent and non-independent thinkers. Why? What if there are 10 types of people in this world, all landing on a spectrum of independent and conventional thought mixed in different aspects of their lives? Why should I accept the premises? What good is reading a conclusion (how to cultivate "independent thought" in the second half of the essay) when I don't know if the premises are even valid?
Without the additional context from the article, I think citing 75% is a bit misleading.

"When Coinbase announced it would be opening an office in Portland, Ore., several Black employees in the compliance department who worked remotely were told to move there or reapply for new jobs, four former employees said."

"All of the Black workers in the compliance division ended up among the group of 15 who left."

Without concrete evidence of discrimination in the article, my mind jumps to this being the pivotal cause of the stats, one team getting asked to relocate and that team being disproportionate in its demographics.

I know from co-workers that the company once had a strong stance against remote work and made limited exceptions. I can see that being a source of a lot of discontent. Asking folks to move to a new city is a big ask too; I could see the company having handled that poorly.

On the upside CB shifted to remote-first which should be great for being able to have a more diverse workforce. And contrary to some of the comments here, I take that as strong evidence of the ability for our leadership team to acknowledge mistakes and course correct.

This is almost certainly a part of my reaction to PG's latter works; since the earlier stuff felt so spot-on to me at the time, there's an element of anticipation and disappointment when that resonance, once readily available, isn't there. And....that's _okay_. The earlier stuff still happened. I, and PG, and the world have all changed. Poo-tee-weet.
Not related to this and not a user (yet?); I saw they do have a compare page [0] with both postgres and timescale comparisons.

Let me ask you this: If you walk down a busy street, which are the most likely you see: McDonald's or whatever equivalent they have in China? If you look at people using computers do they use Facebook and Google or Renren and Baidu? Do you see more Mandarin taught in schools or English? Chinese or western TV? Clearly culturally there are way more from the US. Tensions isn't because "China is taking over". Culturally India have already been taken over years ago. If anything India is now trying to get away from colonial times and English/American meddling.

One can only hope India rises as a power player in its own right. Pointing fingers at PRC is just propaganda to get people to look away from national problems and the real foreign investment boogeymen which has been in India all along and don't want more competition.

O-1 is generally a better visa for founders: 3 years, renewable over and over, path to a green card, no minimum salary, can come and go as you like.

E-2 and L-1 also possibilities, depending on structure and financing of the company.

What ever that is supposed to mean; maybe after looking a couple of days with a very narrow focus.

> The swiss are not really known for a silicon-valley kind of attitude

Well, there is no "hire and fire", and there are no garages and cellars that are worth a billion dollars overnight. But there were and still are a lot of innovations in various fields. Also Germany has great engineers and a lot of innovation, but the state weighs much heavier on the companies than in Switzerland.

EDIT: Perhaps the Global Inovation Index would also be worth a look: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Innovation_Index
It’s super concerning that the actual implementation detail is so hidden with all these services. You know when you should use glacier with route 53 and lambda or whatever

The real skill of AWS is knowing the cheapest way to use it, not the easiest.
Windows on Arm devices don't allow you to disable secure boot last time I checked.

Many of those listed seem to have been picked for their offbeatness, serving dark humour.

My own favourite is Anton Chigurh's captive bolt stunner (No Country For Old Men - Cormac Mcarthy), which seems more chilling for the brazen way he carries it round as though it's the most natural killing implement in the world.

Boot security on M1 Macs can be disabled entirely, so theoretically they can boot other operating systems. The challenge would be writing drivers.
I don't think it's actually a unique form of hubris. This is a common discussion point in the politics of class. The wealthy quickly come to convince themselves of their own greatness & deservedness. Elements of luck, failures, and aid from others are all removed from the personal narrative. You wind up with a tautology; I made it because I am great, and because I am standing here, I must be great.

It's hard & uncomfortable to think that you are just as lucky as you are good, and that others equally deserving (but less lucky) have nothing.

The FTL drive might get you to Proxmia Centauri in a couple of seconds. It's purely fictional so why set artificial limits?

You are right that the reactionless drive will be limited by the speed of light, but thanks to time dilation that 10 years might only feel like a couple of months to the passengers. It's cold comfort for their aging friends and relatives back home, but for the passengers it's not that much difference.
Can I have regulatory capture for 500 Alex?

This is has been my experience often when the government tries to push legislation that deals with complicated topics. It turns out that they don't really know the field so they turn to some "industry experts" who are experts precisely because it is their livlehood and then they push an expansion of their ability to monopolize their part of the market.

Ultimately a bunch of concerned citizens and hobbyist are unlikely to match the time, effort, and motivation of those who depend on something for their livelihood.
Thanks! I'll keep my fingers crossed.
also maybe Hong Kong might be an option?
It does not appear that you have overstayed. As long as the request to change status was filed wile you were still in F-1 status, you were authorized to remain in the US until the petition was reviewed/approved.
Yes, they do produce knowledge. And had PG said "a successful scientist has to produce knowledge" I'd be fine with that statement. Instead, he used the word "novel".

You could not say "I am doing novel research to reproduce the results of study X" and have "novel" be a correct usage of the term. That is simply not what novel means.

Sure, PG is right that "novel" research is important. But not that it's a necessary condition for success. That just reveals the SV bias against actually doing the daily work it takes to simply keep things going

It's fine to want to disrupt things, to (in the appropriate context) move fast & break things, fail quickly and move on, whatever. But when the dust settles on a successful "disruption", you need large numbers of people to put in the day-to-day work to make it work and keep things going. There is a tendency in SV culture to regard that first part as the highest virtue. Heck it's right there in PG's title: Think for Yourself The implication being that you're not thinking for yourself if you're one of the millions of people that make things work every day in a million different ways. Or take this quote:

"If you're naturally independent-minded, you're going to find it frustrating to be a middle manager."

This is so incredibly insulting to imply a person could not be a manager and also think for themselves. It's indicative of the out-of-touch siloed SV cult mentality that has raised novelty for its own sake along with hustle porn & more to cargo-cult virtues, all while deriding, denigrating, and just outright insulting any endeavor that isn't in service to that.
Seems like a valid way to learn vendor's platform to me. If I was looking for an AWS person having credentials from Amazon would be a big selling feature.
I'm guessing that, up until streaming started to take off, it was mostly irrelevant because it was, and still is for many, sufficient.

Having asymmetrical channel bonding allows cable providers to use cheaper equipment and still offer gigabit download speeds.
Reviewing this website, their information on TimescaleDB is either false or outdated:

"Time series databases like InfluxDB or TimescaleDB are unable to handle many IoT applications by themselves—if they require metadata operations, for example. They often need to work in combination with an RDBMS, duplicating maintenance efforts and costs. Besides, their performance is usually optimized for single-node processes."

This statement is true for InfluxDB (which doesn't store relational metadata, and where multi-node is an enterprise paid feature), but not for TimescaleDB. TimescaleDB is built on PostgreSQL, so it is in fact an RDBMS and allows you to store relational data alongside time-series, plus it is now distributed (multi-node), and this distributed feature is free [0].

Which is why we have some really large IoT deployments, including at Schneider Electric, Siemens, Bosch, Northvolt, and many others.

(I've met some folks from Crate and they've all been friendly, so I'm sure this is just an honest mistake, but it is incorrect nonetheless.)

I have not seen a proper TimescaleDB vs. Crate comparison, but at a high level, TimescaleDB is a relational database for time-series, ie "Postgres for time-series", so most developers find it really easy to use (and performant). Also, we just made all of our enterprise features free, so TimescaleDB is now completely free to use.

(Disclaimer, I work at TimescaleDB)
