honestly, at this point it's not hard. when I was younger the hardest part was developing a reasonable list of places to apply. my strategy for developing a reasonable list was to watch conference talks over technologies that I enjoy and document any company being represented. the biggest pain point to the strategy is you don't have very much control over region. when your first out of school, it might make sense, but if you've got a family and are intending to be regionally bound it may not. I really loved the strategy because I definitely had something to talk about during the interviews, and every company I interviewed with was interesting
AWS can set their own price (or subsidize it to keep people on their cloud), more efficient per $ is not really a good way to judge how good is the chip, though it is a good measure for how much money will stay in your pocket.
A former co-worker was telling me about a porn streaming company she worked for in Spain. They stole content from other sites, the other sites stole from them and their competitors. No one wanted to go to courts because no one had clean hands so they started breaking into each other's buildings (self hosting on-site was the norm at the time) and smashing up servers. Eventually they all hired security made up of less than reputable guards who probably were the same guys who had been breaking in to beat up servers. She left around that time to work for more mainstream employers but it does point to the shady beginnings of many of these companies.

Thanks for clarifying. I am not associated with the OpenLibrary project, so the following answer might not be completely correct. I think the goals of OpenLibrary extend beyond just loaning/borrowing books. I believe the original goal of the project was to catalog all books. You could reach out to the OpenLibrary folks to see if they have a search filter for only books available for borrow or if they are planning on making this available.

US imposed individual sanctions and explicitly named hackers from the GRU after the DOD investigated 2016 election hacking, effectively authorizing their arrest if stepping on western soil. This will be handled diplomatically through the State Dept. first. There is little incentive to starting a war with Russia I don't think.
> The "free stuff" that we get in return is never without consequences, as we're finding out.

Largely, I agree. But, this is an editorial decision and not an absolute.

We used to get better news when we paid straight up for it (newspaper cover price/subscriptions). But, lets not forget, those papers had advertising too. The difference is that the ads were not the only form of revenue and the papers with the best journalistic integrity were responsible to their readers more than their advertisers. Therefore, news was optimized for readers.

Now that most news is paid for by advertising, and because advertising pays out based on impressions and/or clicks, we get news that is optimized for impressions and clicks -- which is obviously much worse news than we used to get. This shift in incentive means that news organizations are now more responsible to their advertisers than their readers/viewers (and they don't like that either, but it is a decision that helps keep the lights on).

I don't think you can get rid of all advertising. I mean, there will always be advertising. If it's not overt, it will become more and more covert. So, I don't think the government would be successful in trying to control it further than they already have. Their current approach of transparency is on the right trajectory at least, but it's not much of a solution either. It's probably ok to allow: overt, paid, and responsible advertising. The key there is "responsible". No responsible editor should allow an advertisement that interrupts the content in any way!

I have worked in all of the industries involved in this issue so I can assure you it will be a difficult problem to solve. Either the incentives have to be flipped, so that the news organizations are incentivized to create the best content for readers (simply inform the public at large in an unbiased way -- the original purpose of "journalists" in ancient Greece). Or, the tastes of the readers/viewers has to change so that they reject clickbait news.

I don't have a lot of faith in readers, myself included, because it's often difficult to see that something was clickbait until you read it. I also don't have faith in news organizations being innovative enough to get ahead of this problem and fix it. So, I believe we need some kind of third party solution.

We need something like those content summary bots that can distill an article into a paragraph, but can rewrite clickbait headlines into boring but factual headlines. Then provide that bot as a browser plugin so the clickbait headlines are replaced for those of us who want a more honest approach to news. Again, not a perfect solution either... I'm not sure one exists for this problem.
Sure, for the instruction set all the CPUs are required to be compatible. However, Apple seems to be going in the direction of having many many hardware accelerators builtin to their SoC and integrated into their software ecosystem. I assume that if Google and Amazon were to build their own chips, they'd do the same. Those accelerators will not be intercompatible, and we'll have a dozen different vendored drivers, like how GPUs work.
That is a dangerous way to look at it, because you risk missing the next big transportation device because it doesn't look like what you expect it to look like. What if the next thing you use to transport yourself to work is not a hovercar but Zoom (the online meeting app)?

> It didn’t help that the template for the sites was developed from a project lifecycle perspective and had about 70 folders covering every stage from initiating a bid to project shutdown.

Aah, when the PMO tries to be helpful. I see this all the time - a ‘baseline’ set of folders that you’re meant to understand know what to do with but literally nobody does so they just get ignored.

Worse, I frequently see them with numbers at the beginning. Worse even, those numbers just make no sense at all. I’ve recently experienced a repeating pattern which involves folders 001-015 being something that I can’t remember, and then `016 TO BE DELETED` (because this is in a document management system where you can’t actually delete a file).

Anyone calling for war between the the largest nuclear power and second-largest nuclear power is insane or ignorant. To even suggest something like that is obscene given the incomprehensible loss of life it would entail. I think most people who can remember it would agree that it's a good thing the Cold War stayed cold.
Yup, the developers of Operation Flashpoint and ARMA are one and the same if I remember correctly (Bohemia Interactive?).

I also have to think the Operation Flashpoint influenced other games, like the first Battlefield game, which was released about a year later with a similar crazy variety of roles and vehicles.

Although WWII online was of the same area and breadth, so it could have just been the zeitgeist.

Edit:
And in an amazing tangent, I just found out that WWII Online is still playable and in active development.
I mean, it depends where you were, I suppose. In many places, Airbnbs were illegal from the start (at least for the whole-home rental type; the rent a room type are much fuzzier), as they breached planning rules that only allowed residential use for particular buildings etc.

The problem is that enforcement was very poor.

I don't think the most important thing here is the ISA. A64 is a pretty nice and I don't see any reason you would want to be incompatible with it, especially since getting an ARM architecture license requires you to be compatible with other ARM chips. But Amazon isn't going with Apple's very wide and deep pipeline strategy and there's nothing to say that other ARM chips would either.

It is an attempt to 'win' an argument by association of popular figure or as a gotcha. People get upset because said popular figures did not endorse those beliefs others are trying to cast.

Even right now I've seen on reddit r/Republicans, George Orwell quoted to describe democrat policies that would have been moderate or even right wing to Orwell.

Ive seen it more with Americans and I think part has been the lack of comparable strife in US. Here in Europe we had the devastion of ww2 and the soviet Union on our doorstep. My own homeland was in effective civil war up till the 90s and still suffers from its lingering effect. To us, Orwell isnt describing a universal health care which he supported. They are in response to the literal death squads that would kill at random.
US simply doesn't understand actual tyranny. Moderation looks like extremism when you have such a narrow field of view of politics.

>The Triad uses those USDT to buy BTC and other cryptos from other Bitfinex clients, attracted by the better price.

Is there evidence of this happening? I compared the prices for BTCUSD ("real" USD) vs BTCUSDT (tethers) across several exchanges and the average of the two are within pennies of each other. That said, you really don't need to offer better prices for this to work. All you'd need to do is skim a certain % of the sell volume for yourself, or trade your tethers directly for USD: https://trade.kraken.com/charts/KRAKEN:USDT-USD

This. Real tobacco smells lovely until you light it on fire. The smoke stinks; not the actual tobacco.
Great!

I love night trains. For distances of around 1000km, they are effectively the fastest way.

Imagine two transports:

- "fast", which can be a plane or high speed train. Travel time is around 3h. The plane is faster but with getting in and out of the airport, boarding, etc... it takes almost the same amount of time in the end.

- The night train, travel time 9h, let's say from 10pm to 7am

You want to get to your destination at some time in the morning.

With the "fast" transport, you have to get up really early and take the first train/flight. Expect a short night, and it may not even be possible without arriving late. The other option is to travel the day before in the evening and book a hotel, not ideal either. In any case, you will spend 3 active hours of your day for travel, or sleep 3 hours less.

With the night train, you have a good night sleep (generally, sleeper trains are comfortable) and didn't waste the best part of your day. And you may even save a hotel night.

Think of it as a traveling hotel.

Obviously depends on the user. When I was younger I tried the night train thing on a trip that hopped a few European cities. So, stay in Munich for 2 nights, then on the 3rd night, get on the train to Vienna. Stay in Vienna for 2 nights and get on another train ...

Basically spending 2 out of 3 nights in hotels due to the night train (compared to if we'd done the same itinerary but with daytime trains).
I lived in Kyoto for a year. To me it seemed that the houses there prioritized being comfortable during the oppressive summer heat they have there -- lots of windows, very drafty, shaded outdoor porches, etc. I wouldn't call the winters miserable -- I had a space heater, a warm robe and thick blankets. Kyoto does have fairly mild winters, though.

> Technical Copywriting: What Engineers Can Learn from Apple’s M1 MacBook Marketing

Let's not play too fast and loose with the distinction between technical writing and ad copy for a technology.

This article wastes times talking around the point: advertisements and sales pitches are not technical writing. Technical writing is about clear and precise communication of complicated and/or detailed ideas. Ads are the opposite, ads are about persuasion. Full stop. End of. If you want to learn ads, learn ads. Do it properly and don't pretend it's something else.

Technical writing can be an input to ad copywriting, but the presence of a graph or chart in an ad does not make it technical writing.
Also, forgot to mention this earlier:

tl;dr

The simple matter is air travel is stupid convenient between any two points not directly connected or where the two points are far apart. Its faster by far on longer distances and scheduling is far more flexible.

... long way around

The cost structure that exist is because train transport suffers some serious disadvantages airlines are not stuck with. If you want to claim an externalized cost that may not be paid in full your only choice is fuel costs but understand only a little over half of rail in the EU is electric. Even with higher fuel taxes trains will be at a disadvantage as shown below.

Airline travel schedules, capacity, and routes, can be varied as needed. Trains are locked into sharing tracks, may have have service requirements, and as a result cannot vary their schedules by much if at all.

Airline travel can also add and drop destinations with ease. Trains obviously require connections to each point separately. Rail construction, maintenance, to include tracks and facilities, can rival or exceed air ports.

Trains have the additional cost of staffing requirements imposed by various governments along with capacity requirements that can be out of date.

Finally, while trains have the advantages of lower cost for the train and carriages adding routes is just terribly expensive and their environmental advantage is being eroded as other forms of ground transport move to electric and all bets are off once air can be done that way
> Basically remove all cladding and upgrade it.

This is not extremely difficult nor expensive on every building. It's certainly more of a job than cutting holes in the wall on the inside and blowing in insulation. By insulating from the exterior you can address vapor issues. There are benefits: you can avoid having to patch holes (2 per stud bay... ie a lot) and repaint the inside. There's opportunity to upgrade electrical or fix any issues. Siding also has a limited lifetime. Wood siding can be reused.

With some/many buildings it is certainly too hard and expensive, but for many this is not. We shouldn't write off the whole idea because it doesn't apply to all buildings.
Apple's marketing copy is excellent because the product is actually excellent. Imagine what would happen if the M1 was not as fast or as energy-efficient as claimed? Every claim would be used against them by analysts, competitors and customers. When you deliver the goods, a little swagger works. When you fail to deliver, swagger turns into bluster pretty quickly.
You need another process to insert/query to the redis process.
The ability to talk politics pique my interest.

I have quite a big interest in politic and geopolitics, yet I will not talk about them to my friends. Either my friends are not interested in them or my political alignment most likely doesn't align well with a number of people and I will not risk our friendship to discover it.

So I assume and hope the AI won't hate me if we have disagreements :)

You're missing a night somewhere. Day 1 10:00 - Day 1 14:00 means you need a hotel room Day 1. Day 1 22:00 - Day 2 10:00 (more like 6:00 IME tho) means no hotel room for Day 1.

Yes, cigar smoking is bad for you, but the amount of cigars you need to smoke per day before your statistically significant risk of cancer increases is five. Yes, five. As in 5. And I don't mean "Black-N-Milds", I mean five robustos.

Hilariously enough, this research was conducted by the American Lung Association. I became aware of it when a data scientist friend of mine who smokes cigars quite often was telling me about it. He tore the study apart, up and down, back and forth. It was solid science, or at least, solid data science. And I trust his opinion implicitly.

Now for me, that'll never be a concern... I probably smoke 50-100 cigars a year, so I fall so far below the statistically significant risk of cancer that I don't even concern myself with it now.
