Yes, sounds like a miracle, but I'd say this is not something exceptional for a seasoned electronics company, which 99% of previous contenders weren't.

Building hype, and getting people's moneys is an an easy thing.

But I say it is completely impossible for newcomers to the industry to succeed commercially in anything, but a one off project carried at a very slow pace.

I've met countless people people coming from the other side of the Pacific to Shenzhen to do manufacturing, thinking that they knew what they are doing solely because they did few years of PCB design, EE, or worked a year in a small EMS in America.

All of them were up for a very rude awakening. The scope of knowledge one gets from "few years EE" in America would count for just few percents of expertise needed to run manufacturing commercially.

Just one thing that I think sinks half of them: near zero supply chain expertise. I'd say you absolutely cannot do any manufacturing in serious commercial volumes without at least 10 engineers hired just to do supply chain management full time.

If you are small manufacturer, or OEM, hunting for parts, and components, studying, and testing them, spamming Alibaba, and spending time on the phone with suppliers would be easily taking more than a half of your engineering manpower.
From skimming the front page, all of the features described could just be implemented (and standardized) on top of SMTP/IMAP instead of replacing it, no?
The EU is a diverse place. I think trying to generalize “the EU” as being a certain way is making a too crude generalization. But when all is said and done I’d sure much rather have EU regulation and EU share of internet companies, than anything else.

Also who’s the Aussie? If anyone is pushing on car companies these days I’d say it’s Elon Musk (Who is a South Africa born American)

Its up to them, make no difference to me, I have no reason and no interest to require them to wear mask.
Preorders aren’t used to invest development, but rather recoup some costs. They also provide a signal to publishers that allows delays to happen.

You’ll still be in the “red” during your marketing push, especially since marketing is so expensive.
Isn’t Oracle based on RedHat sources? A few years ago I believe RH stopped releasing individual changesets on kernel patches to make life hard for Oracle and Amazon. What’s stopping RH from doing more extreme things like hiding SRPM metadata and other obfuscation around packaging?
Yes, I’ve been hearing about this issue from non-technical friends too. An explanation of “X crashed” helps even if they don’t actually understand what X is. The fact that someone figured it out and knows is reassuring.
so amazon is waiting for open source projects to mature and large have adoption so they can easily sell them to their existing enterprise customers. A lot of open source projects like tensorflow, kubernetes (which amazon is making millions from) where contribution from google's years development and RD. I know amazon keeps saying they're contributing to open source but it's easier to contribute when you're already getting revenue from that product
Regulations and laws define what game are we playing. Of course, players are going to try to change the game to their convenience.

Sure, but they already do all the work twice.

I get a completely different site on my phone than on a desktop/laptop.

In fact, they maintain far more than two designs - in addition to two native apps, there's a mobile website, the desktop website, and the basic HTML version. On top of that, they have multiple display density options for desktop (which admittedly is mostly just adjusting padding), redesigned the desktop site a few months ago, and had Inbox for a few years. On top of that, you can (some of these without a reload) change whether there are separate inboxes for various labels, add/remove a reading pane, and split threads into individual emails.

I don't think Google is lacking in potential to maintain a website.

Pi Compute Module Is Love-Child of Raspberry and Arduino
I love talking about this stuff but it does have a lot of technical jargon and dependent knowledge that is very difficult to convey simply. I'll try my best. Also this stuff is still being designed and built so some of it is not even concrete yet. Getting really into this would be a big article too so I'll try to be brief but not too much.

The basic premise is that protocols are more powerful than centralized entities as they are permissionless (anyone can use them without asking first), uncensorable (you can build a business on top of it without worrying about the platform disappearing from under you), and decentralized (no one single entity controls it and thus it becomes a public good). The internet has all of these properties which is why we all use it. Nobody built a Google on top of AOL for the same reason nobody built a successful business on top of Twitter (look this up if curious).

Protocols were limited until the invention of shared trust (Ethereum etc) but can now be instantiated for many kinds of discrete data and operations. Protocols are currently being built for identity (BrightID, POAP, many others), commerce (NFTs for art like Rarible, God's Unchained, etc, pretty much a standard way for everyone in the world to exchange physical goods which enables things like OpenSea which is a digital Ebay), primitive social protocols (Peepeth[not a great example but does the trick], Gitcoin, etc) with many more that I'm running out of time to list.

The important thing is that all of these protocols are open for everyone to use and even modify. Everyone is running on a shared data set and even more importantly they all weave together. Many apps are using an identity protocol for all user account type interactions alongside the NFT protocols for representing the objects used in the system. The protocols themselves handle the complexity and enable the scale needed for a single fair system to be used everywhere without the negative effects that would have in today's society (Google running the comments everywhere on the web would be a dystopia, but a Usenet group for each website would actually be nice).

Years of work remain and most protocols are still in the early days. The protocol that weaves a whole bunch of smaller ones together into a cohesive social network is also years away as it relies on the smaller protocols such as identity, file storage (IPFS), systems of moderation (DAOs, Kleros, etc) et all to be further developed to the point where others can take them and create something grander than the sum of the parts.

Hundreds of groups of people are all working hard on lots of aspects of these systems together. It will take time but even the progress today is rather exciting and feels like the early days of the internet itself.

This, plus there are many server-side WYSIWYG markdown editors that make it transparent to the end user that they are even using Markdown. This is really the future IMO, you get the best of both worlds. Hopefully they'll add some extensions though to Markdown. I hope the community will create even more as well.
Apple Photos and Google Photos have started to assemble nice slideshows with music. Now they're doing face recognition. I think there's great potential for ML to curate the photos for me. I hope my phone can one day present to me low quality vs high quality images based on exposure, focus, and composure. I can then swipe left or right to keep or delete. There's nothing more exhausting than having to sort through photos after a vacation :-)

Yes. It's really that everything exists in both pages. The video registers exist at 0x00 through 0x3F and the RAM is at 0x80 through 0xFF, both in zero-page for the fast access instructions and in page 1 for the stack pointer.

It's not so much a mapping as a lack of mapping. The hardware simply doesn't decode address line 8. So accessing 0x002F and 0x012F are the same video register for example. If you push something to 0x01FF, you can read it from 0x00FF.

There are more duplications within the address space as well. Address lines 13 and above don't exist in hardware on the 2600, so 0x20FF and 0x40FF and 0x60FF etc also access the same thing. The video registers from 0x00 through 0x3F are also duplicated from 0x40 through 0x7F, by not decoding address line 6 either. The important one is address line 12, which enables the cartridge ROM instead of the video/RAM; in fact that line is wired directly to the chip-enable pin on the cartridge slot.
Scary! I hope I’m not going to get any email notification until they bring it back up.

Yeah the mask thing does make me wish I had Touch ID as a backup.

I still prefer face id to Touch ID.

A compromise for me would be letting my watch unlock the phone by proximity as it can do with my Mac. The watch unlock is good enough that I don’t miss Face ID on Mac.
I don't use Facebook. Planning in near future to stop using any centralised service or monopolised platform (Hey Apple how are you doing?). The move for control over Big Tech is not to serve the users, privacy is the marketing pitch. Everything has to do with future in which Governments want to share big data and control over citizens with Big Tech. It's all about power and money. The years of Internet as a vehicle for people to communicate and grow is over. Get on with it.
You are the consumer (even Obama in the past clearly has stated Consumer, not Human) there is no political agenda that will change this outcome. The only right (for now) that you have is to vote with your money. This is it. In the next 2-3 years, regulations and big business will make Internet practically unusable. I am waiting VPN to be outlawed and kicking the switch off for good..
That is honestly a post-processing choice and not entirely a reflection of the camera.

In lieu of an actual Googler, how about some educated speculation? It blows my mind that Google can even have problems like this. Aren't their apps highly distributed across tons of CDNs? Don't they have world class Devops people that roll out changes in a piecemeal fashion to check for bugs? How exactly can they have an issue that can affect a huge swath of their customers across countries? Insight appreciated.
I wonder if Gmail is just not a very well maintained codebase. Here's an issue where old emails just become inaccessible. Not fixed for over a year and they've locked the thread so I'm starting to wonder if they actually deleted the emails by mistake.

Maybe time to switch to a more reliable provider.
I think the headline here is a bit clickbaity. The post-EU UK has adopted the EU's GDPR legislation wholesale, and Facebook explicitly says that data will not be treated differently than that of EU citizens.

So while this might "avoid" EU privacy rules in some stretched interpretation of "avoid", in fact it will be avoiding them by applying an identical set of rules. That is, unless the UK government changes its data protection legislation at some point, which is another kettle of fish.
Since so little time has passed since the last issue, I am wondering if it could be the same cause. Maybe they didn’t fix it properly the first time.
So in summary no matter what rich people do, they're the problem.

Lots of companies have a bonus which is a combination of 'corporate wide' bonus, 'performance' bonus and 'personal contribution'.

The thing that I usually do is work tightly with the frontend and extract out all queries that I would be sending to my backend and whitelist only those.

F.e. when we knew that we are going to have a big spike because of a feature in the news, we checked the cost of our queries and heavily optimized and added a cache just for those queries that are costing us the most in front of our backend (based on the query string). This enabled us scaling up from 2000 concurrent users to half a million (the difference is only that big because we were super badly unoptimized before and also the near infinite limit of Cloudflare workers)

It's definitely harder when you have bigger different teams interacting with a single central GraphQL api. My rule for that is that there needs to be a gateway that handles exactly that for every service/team/whatever. Not custom coded by every team because this 100% gets mismanaged. Instead it should be just a container image managed by the same team that handles the GraphQL api and configured by the consuming team via an env var or a file containing all the queries needed.
Kinda. The decay of communities is one thing, but the death spiral associated with municipal infrastructure projects and tax bases is another. A small town might invest in a bioreactor to reclaim solids for resale from their wastewater service at a cost of 5 million dollars, but that'll pale in comparison with the construction of multiple new subway extensions at a price in the billions.
Python's shutil.copy() is worse in every respect, just look at the warnings in the docs. Shell is just better (cp -Rp for example is portable).

The problem is, if they just repeat the claim verbatim, and it's about a complex topic (such as election interference or vote rigging), how is the reader supposed to actually make a decision on the topic, without doing weeks of investigation on their own? Shouldn't it be the media's job to analyze the claims and then inform the reader if they're valid or not?

There's normally no need for ${var-} to get default values, and you can put && inside. I'd write that as:

As another comment pointed out, they're erroring on unset values. I don't think the line noise is worth it, but it will catch spelling mistakes, I guess.
IMO, all modern cellphone cameras as fine for I want. I am trying to capture reminder of something so I remember and reinforce the memory that thing when looking at the photo.

Low light is great, but resolution or color accuracy just isn’t that big of a selling point. And the Mini can have 256 GB of memory so that’s plenty of photos.
Out of interest what do you find hard about running ElasticSearch clusters?

In my experience ES has been one of the easiest clustered / highly available and sharded systems I've ever run - especially for how incredibly performant and reliable it is.

I've generally found that beyond right sizing your nodes, indexes and shard configuration - it pretty much just works without ever really having issues.

I would agree, except if there is any business in america with near monopolist power, it would be visa, amex, mastercard.

I disagree with people arguing that companies like Cloudflare should not be allowed to choose their customers. Because there are countless other similar services that can for the most part, do what Cloudflare does.

But the 3 big payment processors are an oligopoly and you effectively cannot do business without them. Crypto is a joke when it comes to relative adoption. There are no other options if you plan to run a business today.
Thats funny because I felt like it was a port because of the horrible control scheme.

> First: "Expropriate" is both emotionally loaded and inaccurate.

Wrong. Expropriate is a technical term for taking property from someone, usually by the state for public use. The emotion you're referring to is all associated with the act itself. You've also failed to identify an inaccuracy.

> It looks like you're trying to be manipulative here rather than present a sound argument.

All I did was ask a question.

> Why should they take more money from people to save peoples' houses? Why should my taxes go up to save your house?

Your taxes are going up because the government has decided to build a road or rail line. Why should the cost of that be artificially low because the government is able to expropriate people's homes?

> Note that this is a completely separate discussion from whether eminent domain actually pays people market prices for their homes.

By definition, it does not. This is why your statement:

> we're either going to spend some money and buy peoples' homes,

elides the relevant factor: people are being <strike>expropriated</strike> deprived of their homes through threat of violence in order to lower the cost of infrastructure.

> we're going to spend more money and create a tunnel. But money doesn't grow on trees for local governments; if they spend it, they have to take it.

Perhaps the government needs to exercise fiscal discipline. Perhaps the government can't afford a new rail.
