The Mystery of the Disappearing Manuscripts
It’s not the same from my experience. Before, I needed to spend at least a couple hundred dollars (usually on a contract spending an hour on the phone to cancel) on one vendor, who may or may not have the content I want, and it may or may not be available at the time I want it.

Now, I can pick and choose exactly what I want, when I want it, and without advertising breaks. Obviously, if you want everything, then you have to pay for everything. All with a few clicks.

Definitely not the same.
Mandarin is almost impossible to learn with its tones. If you mispronounce a tone, you just said a different word. That and the crazy writing system where you need to memorize 3000+ characters to be able to read proficiently.

I really don't believe in the academic system we have now. It feels like an elitist club. Grades are only a snapshot of your current understanding of something. Given enough time and interest, anyone can earn high marks. If I was in this class, I'd only care if I was able to learn what I came there to learn.

Being a little more cynical, the strain probably started somewhere else in Europe and came across the border.

It's probably not a coincidence that this strain was first detected as spreading right next to the Dover crossing.

I’ll just say that the main benefit of a Tesla, besides driving and handling really nicely is that the electronics are actually good: it’s entertainment system isn’t a hacky afterthought; also, just plugging into the supercharger and walking away makes the whole “messing with payment methods” paradigm of gas stations seem obsolete.

I suggest reading (or listening to) How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan. It's about psychedelics. I've gotten back the experience you're talking about when microdosing psilocybin... and it's not just limited to programming.

Remember when you went to a new place or met someone interesting or got to play with a new gadget? You probably remember it as a vague memory but can't recall how it actually felt. It's possible to get it back, to a certain extent anyway.

Poisoned Russian politician dupes FSB agent into detailing own murder attempt
Regarding the topic of whether Apple can differentiate itself in the auto industry — I recently bought my first car, a 2017 Subaru Forester. The vastness of the American auto market alone, let alone the international market, left me speechless.

Every manufacturer offers models in categories from large pickup truck to family roadtripper to mid-size crossovers, each model with trims that could vary the performance and aesthetics and targeted price points that could raise the final price by tens of thousands.

The Internet is filled with car forums, not including Reddit or Facebook groups, jam-packed with users. Forums for individual models, like one for each of the Subaru Forester, Outback, Crosstrek, and Ascent. Forums for auto-detailing, rally racing, off-roading, and countless other activities.

Car financing and used-car sales provide further flexibility for people to buy their cars. The size of the auto financing industry in the U.S. is in the ballpark of ~$1.2 trillion.

YouTube has probably millions of hours of car videos — any random model from any random manufacturer has review videos from countless owners, each one with tens of thousands to millions of views, and these are refreshed every year. There are reviews for different tires, engine mods, accessories, trims, 6-months of use, 12-months of use, snow usage, and off-roading usage.

The automobile, at least, is one of the indisputable triumphs of capitalism and the modern global economy, a testament to its ability to serve every customer at every price point and nearly every use-case. Yes, there are environmental impacts of car usage, and quality of life externalities due to traffic and roads, but, for this post at least, I want to appreciate the automobile and how significant it is to our lives.

There's plenty of room for Apple, and car owners and renters across the world, I'm sure, will benefit from its entrance, whatever way, shape, or form it takes.
One thing I've learned is having a statically linked busybox kicking around can get you out of all sorts of trouble.

The Server Components FAQ has been updated. It now says:

> Why not use async/await?

> The React IO libraries used in the demo and RFC follow the conventions we've discussed previously for writing Suspense-compatible data-fetching APIs. Suspense-compatible APIs return data synchronously when it is already available, throw if there is an error, or "suspend" to indicate to React that they are unable to return a value. The mechanism for Suspending is to throw a Promise value. React uses resolution of the promise to know when the API may be ready to provide a value (or that it has failed) and to schedule an attempt to render the component again.

> One new consideration in the design of Suspense from this proposal is that we would like to use a consistent API for accessing data across Server Components, Client Components, and Shared Components. Overall, though, the design of Suspense is outside the scope of this RFC. We agree that we should document this design clearly and will prioritize doing so in the new year.

Thanks for incorporating this; let's see how the design doc plays out next year.
In Italy and also bigger cities in France you probably only have the right of way if they hit you. I remember once in Paris standing at a main road for 5 min waiting for someone, anyone, to even slow down slightly. When I did try to venture across the zebra the cars all had to stomp on their brakes as if they were surprised that waiting at a regular zebra meant I intended to cross.

CSR-only apps quickly run into issues when it comes to SEO and initial page load speeds. For reasonably static content it can be solved by snapshotting the routes and serving the snapshots from the CDN. If you have more dynamic content you are forced to SSR, and this is where this feature comes in.
This sounds like something someone would write when they are young and don’t have issues with focusing near and far. Having speed off to the side is terrible. End. Stop.

If they are just friends, not family, or if their beliefs aren’t at risk of screwing up their children’s or grandchildren’s lives, this is an easy deflection as you mention.

If you think something more serious might be at risk, ask them to send you a link to more information. You will never have a verbal conversation on any issue of interpretation that will convince someone with facts outside of a courtroom or an conference room...period. You can have a written exchange that is fact-based and that may address the impact such ideas have on those you both care about.

Who knows, maybe they have a good point or two. And you probably do too. If you get past two online exchanges and are both interested, then maybe a verbal conversation in order. Or just agree to disagree. You will have more information as to whether this will ever affect those you both care about.

If it’s a family get-together in a formal setting, say a dinner table, you can remind everyone about the ban on discussing money, politics and religion. You do have such a ban, I assume. Take out the air horn that you carry for such occasions and place it prominently on the table. Start the conversation with something like “So, did you hear the Pope was caught shoplifting the book How to Hack Voting Machines for Fun and Profit” to lighten the mood and then ask a question to get the conversation on family matters..a new baby is always a go-to.

Keep the air horn out unless Grandma or a thundering herd of aunts ask you to put it away. Believe me, everyone will appreciate your gesture. It’s jokey and serious enough to be effective. Depending on the family, maybe silly string would work, but it might get on the turkey.

No. There is a section in the article about that.
Apple build quality has nothing special in the absolute. It's just that most of the phones or laptops of tons of manufacturers have cheap plastic body. But there are also plenty of less cheap but really nice products from other brands, and there are plenty of consumer electronics devices that have nice mechanical build quality. You can even easily found really cheap objects, compared to premium phones or laptops, with a nice build quality. You don't see that often for computers and phones because low cost models are low margin and the market for a nice mechanical design but otherwise low end specs is too small.

Instruct an engineer to design something that is not crap and they will do it, and it will be mass produced with tight tolerance if specified like that. On the manufacturing side... Apple does not manufacture anyway.

And that brings me to: a car is not exactly the same thing as your small household appliance. Like we saw with Tesla, it is not trivial to do with a good build quality, both on the design front and on the build front (way more difficult than small and mostly static objects) -- and it is harder to reject a car with a not stellar build quality because that's more expensive and a huge part of the value is in the mechanics. And quite related: for now Apple does not manufacture, if they start to do cars, will they? Otherwise who will?
Nokia was in a really good position and squandered it as the market shifted.
personally i don't think it would be unethical or even unusual to re-architect your cv in terms of "roles" with titles which you get to invent and describe, rather than the job titles you were officially given.
Automating breakout rooms on zoom by user type?
Hi all, I run a non-profit project that provides free math tutoring to K12 students impacted by school closures. We've found that the best way to avoid scheduling conflicts is to let kids drop in anytime in a big zoom room and then assign them to breakout rooms with tutors for 1-1 support.

The way masteryhour.org works is that students drop in to our zoom room at 10am or 3pm and we assign them to a tutor and send them to a breakout room.
Currently, we've been assigning tutors to students manually, but in order for this to scale, we need to be able to automate the process.

We are growing really fast and we need a solution for this problem as soon as possible!

The basic tags we need to assign breakout rooms are "student" and "tutor",

However, if possible, we'd like to add more specific categories like "can tutor high level math" "prefers to tutor elementary math" "speaks Spanish," as well as recency so we can establish some type of continuity.

I'm not sure what the best approach to do this might be - if zoom already has a tagging system or if we want to build a bot to do this project.

Would love your thoughts on the easiest way to do this in the short-term. Or if anyone wants to volunteer to set this up for us, we'd love help:)
To shore up my point from earlier, I was specifically talking about how we spotted Neptune without ever seeing it by observing the stuff we could see, just like how we identify Dark Matter. Looking back I definitely didn't make that clear, plus the fact that we already knew that normal matter existed muddies the waters further.

Now to your points specifically. Dark Matter needs 0 modification to explain superclusters, normal clusters, and individual galaxies all at once. The basic principle is hard to swallow, obviously, but it made predictions about the sort of deviations we'd see that turned out completely correctly. While certainly if you could just plop dark matter anywhere you wanted and hold it 'stationary' you could overfit to any data you wanted, the models that work have dark matter right alongside regular matter, driven by the same forces. The only reason its possible to derive such models at all is that galaxies behave so much like there's more 'stuff' there that we just have to fill in the blanks. Brute forcing a dark matter solution to a world driven by MOND would be at best a feat, and more likely close to impossible.

Total side note, I was snooping in your profile and saw that you wrote Zigler. I actually just today tried it out, funny coincidence no?
Clear and Reliable News from Central Europe and the Three Seas Initiative
False equivalence, and false dichotomy. Poorly argued point.
Also the UK detected this new strain right next to the Dover Crossing - Isn't it pretty likely it came from mainland Europe and was detected at our port rather than we coincidentally had a mutation right on the border?
Whether they are or not: it is absolutely something that is fairly commonly done. Sealed cookers can do it pretty well, the rice is essentially fine for that long (safety aside).
That’s Ok. A lot of people thought keyboards on phones were an absolute requirement too.

Like with phones, having touch screen control everything provides extraordinary flexibility in rolling out new software features and ultimately improving UX.

Remember this design is supposed to lead the way into an FSD future achieved through purely software updates.

Whether they succeed in automating the majority of miles driven, they designed the car with that future fully in mind.

For what it’s worth, it’s one of my favorite parts of the car, and certainly it’s my kids favorite part of the car.
Genetic drift that fixates 14 new mutations, including deletions, in the most negative selected gene in this virus is an abomination, almost statistically impossible, very very close to 0. Even if the incubation and infection time inside this one individual was enough for 1,000,000 generations there's no way for something like that to happen.

"The accrual of 14 lineage-specific amino acid replacements prior to its detection is, to date, unprecedented in the global virus genomic data for the COVID-19 pandemic."

No, this unprecedented on any living and non-living thing that we know.[1]

"In all of this, its worth remembering we've never tracked an epidemic in this much detail before, so perhaps this sort of thing is just par for the course."

We tracked very well the flu during its high season, and influenza genomes are used constant to monitor mutations and other aspects of viral evolution, population genetics and phylogeny.

It never ceases to amaze and dismay me how we've built the greatest library in human history, one with intrinsic properties of unlimited readers per book, negligible distribution cost, and minimal barriers to access, and then done our best to sabotage those properties.

Since the typically imposed access barriers are based on copyright law, the situation could be improved somewhat by:

a) reforming copyright law to allow orphan works to enter the public domain, and

b) enabling authors to (easily) add creative commons licenses (minimally something like CC BY-NC-ND) permitting unlimited readers in digital libraries.
Just curious, what alternatives do you suggest to enable Universities to measure the capabilities of their students? Afterall, you can't allow a student doctor to graduate and practice if they don't sufficiently know what they're doing (extreme case).

Perhaps only allowing for a pass or fail grade maybe?
Who says RISC-V is mediocre?

Here's the opinion of probably THE most important ARM engineer of the 1990s and 2000s, Dave Jaggar who developed the ARM7TDMI, Thumb, Thumb2.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6sh097Dk5k

Check at 51:30 where he says "Are there any ARM snipers? No .. I would Google RISC-V and find out all about it. They've done a fine instruction set, a fine job [...] it's the state of the art now for 32-bit general purpose instruction sets. And it's got the 16-bit compressed stuff. So, yeah, learning about that, you're learning from the best."

I would close schools forever, but that's my personal opinion.
When someone is condemned to financial ruin because her shop is not allowed to open, this is not a matter of self entitlement, yes I think these are the beginnings of dictatorship.

On the other hand, people are actually dying of Covid. Given the choice I'd take financial ruin over death.
This looks ok, but generally I'd much rather just use the Next.js model of something like `getInitialProps`, which is then passed to the component. This generally avoids the "waterfall" issue, and separates data and render code.

Yes, and 10x basketball players usually have a lucky combination of:

-6'+

-Having a close family member who is an athlete

-Playing sports since 9

-Naturally athletic physique

-Decent cooperative and competitiveness

I only meet 2 of those and 6'+ is definitely not one of them, but I don't avoid basketball because I'll never be as good as a "10x" basketball player (probably NCAA D1 level, Euroleague). In fact, I play often, and years of that have made me an at least serviceable player.

What I'm saying is maybe you'll never be a 10x dev (I won't be) and a large part could be because you don't have the traits you mentioned - which in my experience, definitely describes most of the 10x types I know. but hard work over time can get any person of average talent to at least a 2x or 3x dev (or basketball player). So there is no reason to beat yourself up if you aren't Einstein. A person is competing with themselves.
`list[0]` and `list[1:]`?

Have you driven Tesla and other comparable EV's?

From my experience, Tesla's tech (I drive a VW) is ahead of their competition pretty handily.

The new Ford Mustang Mach looks competitive, but even that is still at least 9 months away.

The VW id4 EV is sold out, and they are taking pre-orders for the next batch.

Tesla has first mover advantage when it comes to mass market EV's. It's not just cult of personality.
Yes, cars and computers have gotten cheaper relative to their quality. So what? Health care and education have gotten more expensive. Inflation-adjusted money is a pretty good proxy for wealth. What else is there?
Yes, the 30+ year olds have to make the tough decision of defaulting on their loans and severely limiting their ability to secure loans in the future, vs. continuing to work towards paying off their student loans. If there was no repercussion to defaulting on loans why would anyone ever pay off a loan?

This is precisely why it makes sense to restrict ability to default on student loans for a certain duration. Even if you have six figure salary as a new grad, it'd still make sense to default on your student loans immediately after graduation and plan your life around having a terrible credit score until your 30s. Pay for cars in cash, and don't plan on buying a house until one's 30s. Everyone would do this because it's basically getting money for free. And consequently nobody would issue student loans, even to students going to good schools and studying in demand majors, because students can effectively just walk away from the loans.

Yes, it's not doing anything for people 22-30. This is deliberate. The point is to make sure students who can pay off their loans do pay off their loans. We make recipients of student loans wait until 30-35 to be able to default on loans so that only the ones who are genuinely stuck with loans they can't pay off go through with the default. Yes, their credit score will tank. But that's the consequence of defaulting on a loan. If you could default on a loan without impacting your credit score, you'd be a fool not to default on every loan you have right now - but you wouldn't actually have any loans because nobody would lend money under sucha scenario.

This is pretty good soulver replacement.

I found all these similar tools has the problem that there is exactly one expression per line.

Is there any exploration of this feature: have the computed number shown next to the expression.

I had this problem while using soulver, too. I had a lot of artificial line breaks. For calculations it is pretty good, but it is pretty horrible when I present it to someone else.
FB should stick to reproducing the truth, as understood by Vanity Fair and Eric Lutz of course. You know- protests are unacceptable (unless we agree with the protest); masks are critical (unless the WHO changes their mind again and tells us all not to wear them); small gatherings and in-person services are also unacceptable (except for prominent Democrats and those with enough money/clout).

Apple has billions of data points about batteries with iPhones, Macbooks, iPads, etc..... Obvious those are not used in the same manner car batteries are, but still.
