"Commoditize your Complement"

It's surprising, how consistently this law applies (and that it's still widely unknown outside the tech bubble).
Amazon: We don't need to pay sales tax or look after our warehouse employees

AirBnB: We don't need to pay sales tax or look after our hosts

Uber: We don't need to pay sales tax or look after our drivers

The sales tax problem is only a loophole in some territories. The "look after" part is a problem in all of them.
That exact sentiment is the reason for this problem even existing. Peer review and medical journals are by no means exempt from usual human corruptions, and there is absolutely no rational way to say that certain concerns should only be allowed there, and that we should not be able to even discuss them outside of those closed circles.
if you've ever worked on distributed storage you'll know that this isn't fabricated. it just takes effort to fix it. and S3 is pretty much the oldest distributed store in existence, lots of tech debt to overcome.
Yes, but let's not pretend the trifecta of HTML, CSS, JS is perfect either, or spin a genesis myth of order and purposeful design around it. In theory, JS is for interactivity, but in practice it's used for compensating the many, many shortcomings of HTML. For example, reveal menus used by many modern sites can't be implemented without JS (need to programmatically interrogate scroll position). Who's to say digital text has to stick to a 80s concept of casual academic publishing? Or take lazy loading (needs intersection observer), when the basic concept of assembling larger docs from pieces/text variables has been right there in SGML for over 30 years. The deal that made JS acceptable is that over time, as we learn more about digital text presentation, idioms pioneered using JS can be integrated/consolidated into HTML. Yet HTML is essentially stuck in the 90s or 80s. While CSS has gone nuclear and gained an unhealthy amount of syntax and layout concepts to compensate for it. The result is a media format that is simply unusable for creating acceptable results by a layman, and also doesn't capture essential structure of modern text (such as threads or bubbles of online discourse).

Not that self-declared web "standardization bodies" care; web vocabulary activity has essentially stopped in 2017 when W3C published the final HTML spec and cancelled the SVG2 WG, and Mozilla stopped investing into core web tech. The only new proposals since were for example Google's "portal" element to aggregate third-party snippets.
I think that the ginormous market cap is due to Musk's PR skills but also, especially, to the fact that Tesla is seen as a cool tech company more than a car company. It's totally irrational that the company is valued higher than VW.
I've seldom found use for editor based code folding, and I've been trying to use it long enough to remember being excited when vim first got it (20+ years ago?). I mean I'm sure there are people who find it useful, but to me it's one of those 'nice on paper' things. I think it's mostly that you don't know how much is hidden away, and you don't get a feel for the balance of say the if then and the else part of a decision. I've been working on refactoring a 3000 line single function Fortran 95 program lately, with 6, 7, 8 levels deep loops and if/then etc; you'd think this sort of work would be the prime candidate for folding. In my experience it hasn't helped my understanding at all though. 'jump to matching brace' and 'search under cursor' along with keeping an eye on the scroll bar work much better for me.
How much greater the tourist spending is versus the spending from locals? Which were displaced. As those displaced locals won't be spending money any more at local businesses.
I’ve wanted to work on a BLE mesh project for a while but it’s things like these that make bootstrapping such a project so risky. BLE pairing in painful on its own, but having it open up a pathway for a kernel exploit with a bad packet is terrifying.
So its effect on the immune system lasts even after it's gone. So if it were to cause any problems (in the immune system, for example), those could also persist after the mRNA is gone. So how exactly is this line of reasoning reassuring?
And if it turns out the UK approval process, like so much else of its bureaucracy because of years of austerity cuts, has been under-staffed, under-funded and simply bowed to political pressure?

I wouldn't be so quick to trust anything British right now. We're in a bit of a state.

The only reason we're not the laughing stock of the world right now is because the Americans managed to fuck up even more than us.
It takes some practice, YMMV, but we made a rule to have them in bed by 8PM. You get solid 2h-3h for yourself every evening. It was harder with the first kid, but once they start going to kindergarten it changes.

I got a feeling "hardcoded" repeating code is underrated. I work in a code base right now that has alot of configs floating in from everywhere and functions taking function arguments with deep call tree.

I just wish there was long crappy linear functions with inline configs so that I could search this mess and see line by line what it did without having to keep so much in my head.

Maybe it was easier to write but it sure as hell is harder to read ...
Pulling a Google Fiber on the chip fabs might not be a bad thing right now -- TSMC is way, way too powerful at the moment. Even Google isn't the driving factor behind a likely military invasion.

Actually there's one other possibility: that this is an audition before Google acqui-hires eFabless.

Can't say I blame them. Running MPW shuttles is an incredibly tough business; of the three leading shuttle providers (MOSIS, IMEC, CMP) two are non-profits affiliated with universities and the third used to be. There isn't a lot of profit in it.

And I can't really blame Google either... Tim Edwards is easily worth the entire company's payroll so they'll be getting a great deal as long as they can keep him interested.
That’s like saying “learn to drive a Formula One car if you want to feel safe driving at 65 miles an hour.” Sure, it works, but it’s impractical and unnecessary for everyone to do this.
I never said (or meant only) "tax loopholes", Uber may even end up paying more tax than taxi companies. But taxi companies have a far, far higher bar in the eyes of the law. In most countries you can't just decide to climb in your private car and provide commercial transportation service. You have to spend a lot of time and money to get there, authorizations, commercial insurance, driver certifications, etc. Uber bypassed it by saying "we're a tech company" and left it to the drivers, making the enforcement of the law a lot harder.

Hotels also have higher requirements than an AirBnB host but the company says "we're just the tech platform". Just look at conflict resolution and what kind of leverage and protections a client has when dealing with a hotel vs. dealing with a private renter to see the massive gap that comes attached to that "disruption".

Because that's the thing, you could have short-term renting in the past but that wasn't an alternative to hotels. AirBnB made it a hotel alternative so that's the benchmark. Same with Uber, you could (legally) hitchhike in the past but Uber made the service a taxi alternative.

Imagine Google "disrupting" the state/national/federal identity registry, as in become the equivalent of the passport or identity card issuer while offering Google-style support and SLAs. Some services are important enough to be regulated, this is what today's disruptors are bypassing.

The solution to an industry being crap isn't to allow someone to bypass existing regulation, it's to create a set of effective regulations that can be applied equally to everyone.
Meanwhile at EA...
That is just not how anti-vaxers work, if you ever talked to one. There is a multitude of problems they can say they found even with an RCT with 100k participants. You are assuming you are talking to a person with years of experience with science and critical thinking. That's not a typical antivaxer.

And if you do talk to a person like that, no press release is a problem for them, they see right through it.
What a despicable and disgusting message.

> the problem is in fact memory-unsafe languages, and not general engineering practices.

Languages don't introduce bugs by themselves. Engineers produced those bugs.

I always thought that bugs are the programmers' fault, and not to blame the language. It's like blaming the English language because it allows you to misuse it and manufacture very offensive racial slurs, or to be rude and cruel, and thus we should replace it with another language that doesn't allow to exploit these weaknesses. We won't be able to express ourselves with beautifully (low-level) crafted poems anymore, but that's the price to pay.

New POH Theme for OSRS Christmas Event 2020 with $10 Off RS 07 Gold on RSorder
As Christmas this year is approaching, it is the time to look forward to OSRS Christmas event 2020. It has been revealed that there will be a new POH theme for Christmas event this year.

As Christmas 2020 is coming soon, here comes the Pre-Christmas Super Sale on RSorder! Happy to enjoy up to $10 coupons for 2007 RuneScape gold, RS gold and other products from Dec 4 to Dec 10, 2020!

POH theme for OSRS Christmas Event 2020

According to the Tweet from Mod Brow, a new POH theme has been designed for OSRS Christmas 2020. This new POH theme will give you “a nice cozy place to hold up in while you wait out the remainder of the year”. From the image it seems that everyone could stay warm during this winter season.

If you wonder whether you will be able to keep this theme as long as you want, Mod Elena has answered this question. You can keep this new winter theme forever if you unlock it during the Christmas event; if you miss out, you can unlock the theme after completing next year's Christmas event.

OSRS Christmas coming with festive rewards

In addition to the new POH theme, there will be some Christmas-themed rewards coming with OSRS 2020 Christmas event. Each year there will be some new festive rewards, such as the green gingerbread shield in 2019. Moreover, there will be a chance to obtain some previous Christmas rewards, by talking to Diango in Draynor Village, such as the Christmas tree costume, Santa outfit, candy cane, etc.

Besides, a long-term 5% off code "RSYK5" is also offered from https://www.rsorder.com/. And in the following days there will be a bunch of Christmas gifts from RSorder. Learn details from https://www.rsorder.com/merry-christmas.

People often want symbolic things whose main purpose is to remind you of that person, like ornaments, a card or a personalized home-made thing. I know someone who embroidered a Thor's hammer picture for a friend who was a fan of those comics. It wouldn't have mattered if it was somehow inaccurate - it showed they were important enough to spend time on - proof of work maybe?

I keep little trinkets that people have given me. It's nice to see them every now and then.
You're reading shit/publicly editable sources.

Micay originated the Android Hardening Project, I believe it was called, and is the brains behind what was CopperheadOS, and now the superior GrapheneOS.

He was also a pretty instrumental Rust developer.
Yes, this is infuriating. And users report similar problems with audio in Windows too...

Unfortunately your killall workaround does not work for me. I have to restart my laptop every time I have a Teams meeting -.-
Can you expand a little bit?
Simply read the GrapheneOS IRC/Matrix channel. They log.
That doesn't really say very much. What new rules? Why the API?
The infrastructure, absolutely. A serious road, rail and air network, lots of companies with lots of experience and all the right gear and so on.

Where we fuck up is in the competency of the people in charge of awarding contracts.

Be it Grayling giving millions of pounds to a ferry company with no ferries owned or leased, or indeed any experience at all with ferries (and, wonderfully, with a T&Cs on their website copy-pasted from a pizza delivery site). As a wonderful finale, the government was sued by EuroTunnel because they awarded the contract without going through the proper process (which, of course, would have meant that the drawbacks of a pizza delivery business offering ferries might have been identified); we gave millions to a Ferry company incapable of delivering anything, and then millions to an actual transport company in compensation for breaking the rules on tendering.

Or be it KFC awarding their chicken distribution (despite warnings from people who knew) to a company with no experience in or facilities for cold food distribution, leading to KFC going literally out of business for a couple of weeks because they had no chicken in the stores.

We Brits have a competent infrastructure and the ability for the people in charge to award contracts to entirely the wrong parts of it.

It's a fairly stereotypical British trait to be self deprecating. If we were singlehandedly saving the world from a rogue asteroid the general sentiment would probably be "let's hope we don't mess this up".
Huh?

The fact is, there is no reasonable expectation of ever getting viable commercial power from a tokamak-style fusion reactor. The density of energy production, in watts per cubic meter, is so low that an impractically large volume of confined plasma would be needed, requiring a reactor many times larger than a fission plant for the same power output. But fission-driven power is itself too expensive to produce to justify deploying on its own merits.

Furthermore, since the power must be extracted by intercepting high-energy neutrons after they have blasted through the plasma focusing apparatus, such a plant would destroy its most expensive parts in a short time, requiring frequent rebuilding -- by robots, because of induced radioactivity at the work site.

There has never been any expectation of practical commercial power resulting from plasma-confinement thermal-neutron fusion projects. Their only plausible budgetary justification is as a jobs program for high-neutron-flux physicists. They are called for by military policy as a population to draw personnel from for weapons work.

Coal has always been cheaper than fission. Solar and wind power costs are much less, and continue falling; and numerous viable energy storage methods, all demanding no fundamental research -- gravity (solid and aqueous), underground and underwater compressed air, LH2, ammonia, methane from captured CO2, even powdered iron -- vie only for which will end up cheapest to deploy and operate.

If a commercial reactor were ever built and made to work, it would take many decades just to break even on the money already spent to date, before bevinning to pay down its own construction -- even presuming it could find a market for its output. In practice, without continued public subsidy as long as it operated, its debt would continue to grow indefinitely.

The only responsible course for the future is to cancel all publicly funded thermal-neutron fusion work, immediately.
the Risk/Benefit to those around you

But there is a limited supply. At least in the short-term, if I get a dose, that means someone else doesn't get one.

If someone around me is at risk, then they should get vaccinated and I should defer if my risk is low.
Sounds like something you can refactor into a N dimensional table with "function pointers" for handling each case.
The Spanner paper goes through this: http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.co...

Writes are implemented with pessimistic locking. A write in a Canada datacenter may have to acquire a lock in Australia as well. See page 12 of the paper for the F1 numbers (mean of 103.0ms with standard deviation of 50ms for multi-site commits).
There's a whole world besides the Silicon Valley bubble and in most of it homes don't cost nowhere near that much. In my home city in europe a decent couple bedroom flat in middle of the city goes for about $30-50k.

If you want to retire in the land with million dollar houses, well duh you gonna need more than $1M, and I'm sure plenty of people would love to have that. But it's not really a necessity. There's plenty of affordable locations for retirement on $1M budget.
Editor folding is a band aid. You might as well buy a bigger screen.
Didn’t need to click the article to know this would be an “in mice”.

These headlines are starting to feel like clickbait.
Assuming you're somewhere between 20 and 30, your risk of dying when contracting COVID-19 is somewhere around 0.01%, so 1 in 10,000. I'm not including the chance for severe side effects, hospitalization here (I don't know a good data source for those that is age-specific).

That's a lot lower than the risk for older people, but it's still a somewhat high absolute risk.

Personally, I'd get vaccinated. The risk even for young people is still there, and it's not that low.

The source for these numbers is the following paper, specifically figure 2a:

Why Choose Flutter in 2020?
I think anti-vaxx and other fringe groups are more driven by distrust in society, and by denying discussion to be had in the first place will further build anti-societal silos.

It's a difficult problem, because inevitably there will be harm initially if you allow free discussion. But over time the harm will be less in comparison to complete shutdown of any public conversation about the vaccines.

If the anti-vaxxers don't want the COVID vaccine, so be it. Let them pay with their health. That'll be the best course of action for beating down the quacks who will oppose any vaccinations.
I suppose it's easier for people to not think independently and trust someone else to take a decision for them.
C is the only language where they're called "linked lists"; everything else just calls them "lists".

Exactly. I have this thing that I'm not good at. I have this tool I use to be better at it. Everybody wins.

One might say that computers in general are tools for computational work, since people are not as good at crunching numbers in their head at a consistent, repetitive and deterministic fashion over time.

One might even be right. :)

Holy jeeze. This is why we have the FDA.

The extent to which a molecule is active in your body is only slightly correlated with toxicity. There is zero reason why a fragile molecule can't cause damage before it breaks down.

This is how ended up with thalidomide. They tested it in pregnant lab rats, but the window for birth defects is incredibly short in rats. So everything checked out.

In drug development you can't assume anything without data to back it up.
Hey fellow Graphene-r!

What apps are you writing for yourself on Graphene?

Have you considered being a maintainer for one of the companion apps/Graphene itself on a device? The project could really use you.
Maybe in USA. In many European countries the property tax is low sub-1% range. Which isn't nearly enough to cover those services.
