On BVLOS, FAA Advisory Circular 107-2 §5.7 actually covers the allowance for brief moments when a drone is out of VLOS. It's one thing for a drone to be behind a tree for a few seconds, and another when a drone is so far away one cannot possibly see it.

As regards FPV and even the very good remote viewing in the Mavic Mini, regular general aviation regulations essentially nullify either of those capabilities as being inadequate. §14CFR91.113(b) states, "vigilance shall be maintained by each person operating an aircraft so as to see and avoid other aircraft." That means in addition to looking forward, you need to regularly look above, below, left, right, and to the extent practicable behind.

On night time flight over a huge empty field, yup, I get it. The regulations make no sense for this.

I could begin a long discussion over the regulatory process in the US, but I won't. I will say however that it behooves drone operators to be aware of and to become involved in the regulatory process. Whether you like the process and the products of that process or not, it isn't going away. The regulations exist, the FAA appears at some level to actually be interested in educating rather than punishing, but they have the power to do what they think is necessary to maintain order and safety.
Sure but what if your actions to protect them from a calamitous future actively result in that future happening?

The number of disasters that are a) small enough not to wipe us all out, b) large enough that it would wipe out a large fraction of us, and c) a large amount of money would have any influence being in one group or another, is very small, and they would be mostly political (possibly biological) disasters.

I mean, I could think of stranger stories than a humanity that was saved from total destruction by the actions of a few "crazy" billionaires that got together to make a livable moon base "just in case" in 2021, just before The Real Plague, a virulent strain of Covid-19, created a zombie apocolypse that almost wiped us out - except for the intrepid crew of Atlas-1 Moonbase, populated by the best of humanity: Bezos, Gates, Musk, Myrhvold, Trump, and a good chunk of the Saudi royal family. Or that was the plan, anyway, before the Chinese finally activated their APT and, at the last minute, replaced the passengers with CCP leaders and their families. (Satire aside, if humanity could "come back" from this unlikely scenario, then I'd say the excesses of the 20th and 21st century might even have been worth it. But really, the odds of any of this happening seem vanishingly small.
I can confirm. I work in the advertising industry (only to pay my bills until I can retire or get back into software industry one day), and Unilever and P&G are one of the biggest advertisers/clients.
One thing to note is that the console itself had no CE codes baked into its bootloader ROM, but it supported CE-based SDK. Everything from kernel to game binaries reside on the GD-ROM optical disc you play.

There was no Dashboard or game switching/exiting without power cycling or OS-supplied friend features. Those had to wait until OG Xbox.
I’m not arguing you should. But there are undoubtedly some people who would. And a hybrid work environment is detrimental to those who want that in-person experience. There should be opportunities for remote-only/remote-first cultures and in-person only jobs going forward. My argument is that a hybrid model misses the point - you lose almost all the benefits of in-person work in the process.

EDIT: I’m a new employee as well, just so it doesn’t seem like I’m projecting what new employees would want without at least some personal experience
I think one reason for this is we don't have the skills to manage the relationships positively since we grew up in such a hostile environment so when you get stressed it can be easy to repeat the patterns because we know they worked in the past. Those maladaptive strategies were in fact successful! So trying a new strategy is considered risky.

This is something therapists can help you with. You learn new ways to communicate and manage these situations AND you get to practice them in a safe place before you need to use them.
While it would be cool, such a project is ridiculously far from practical and certainly would not result in anything usable for most purposes. Silicon fabrication is intrinsicly a slow, high-investment process which only pays off if you can get enough volume. There's little room for an open-source approach to this kind of industry (where's our open source HVAC?).
Given that in recent years Github had more downtime that your usual app, the github-powered part may be more of a liability than an asset ;).
Facebook consistently tries to emphasize how large of a fraction of their advertising is "small businesses", but it doesn't seem to sink in / people tend not to believe them. Big advertisers like Unilever are a fairly small (but meaningful) fraction of the ads on Facebook.

Cost is not only measured in dollars for servers.

The cost of doing a massive, irreversible migration that doesn’t work seamlessly the first time is significant. And often more significant in engineering time, lost revenue from services going offline, trust both from external users and internal teams watching the shitshow, and possibly data loss or backwards-incompatible changes than those server dollars.

It’s funny that one consistent theme of the best engineers I’ve worked with is less their “amazing 10x ideas” than the number of “sounds like a good idea if you’ve never done it” ideas that they shut down. Huge migrations are one.
Data Normalization in Object Oriented Databases
Any news organization profits from hate, terrorism, murder, and the lot.

But there has never been a boycott campaign that wasn't awfully selective, of course.

Probably because being consistent in one's suppose noble ideals would actually compromise one's own well-being, rather than simply not doing business with one giant corporation, of which there are many that do the same to choose from.
I can confirm that some people think like this ( not me).

I delegated some areas during a big event and I took one of those persons asside because he was too rude.

He said that he pointed out mistakes ( which was correct, but they were new) and that they would remember it better if he was this direct. I just mentioned that he should not be this rude and just explain them what they did wrong and he adjusted. It was literally his mindset ( he adjusted that evening, not his mindset)
Oranges are people with 5+ years tenure at Amazon. Only outclassed by red badges in ‘peculiar-ness’.

I think Facebook is particularly vilified (rightfully in my opinion) because it developed the biggest "village" where it privatized the profits and socialized the costs by asking the village to police itself, and by relying on or expecting its government bodies to handle the enforcement of any regulation.

I get that policing billions of users you just gave a voice to is hard but so is counting all those profits they bring. When corporation profits were at stake everybody threw money at solutions that instantly and automatically solve the issue to everyone's advantage but the users' - copyright infringement. Now we get the "policing is hard, man" discourse from one of the biggest companies in the world, with the biggest userbase in the world. Indeed, the solution to this problem may not be technical but they're still miking everything for profit while claiming it's hard to come up with a solution and people are rightfully skeptical of their stance and vilifying them.
I like that I can easily build a view that includes "columns" from JSONB and normal table columns and clients are none the wiser. The clients get a consistent contract (the view schema) which can be backed by whatever tables make sense (or don't make sense but are used anyways).

I definitely appreciate the flexibility of a document store but I despise not having schemas for clients. Interface contracts reduce errors and ultimately make life easier for everyone. The database also has tons of information in RAM it can use to search and sort data, pushing those operations to the client balloons bandwidth requirements unnecessarily.
SaaS I happily pay for:

- CloudFlare

- Roam

- Slack

- Linear

- Geekbot

SaaS I’m okay with paying for:

- Figma

- Gsuite

- Gusto

- Stripe

- Netlify

SaaS I’d rather not pay for, but have no choice:

- AWS (SaaS in a sense I suppose - I actually don’t “pay” yet, working my way through credits)

- Heroku (terribly expensive and does not provide startup credits that they say they do)

- Wistia (the platform is clunky, but there’s no other video platforms I’ve found with the features I need)

> Not as much has changed in Europe. These cultural values of beautifying your surroundings never went away.

With regard to the GP’s remark, I noticed this with fast food places in the United States. McDonalds there seem to have a much lower level of cleanliness than in parts of Europe. I assumed that running a McDonalds franchise is completely systematized: corporate gives you a series of three-ring binders that tells you exactly how clean everything must be, but if that is so, then enforcement still differs from country to country.

Furthermore, US McDonalds were often staffed by unattractive people (the disturbingly obese or the merely unphotogenic), while in Eastern Europe – whether due to lax laws or the specifics of the labor market – McDonalds often hires fairly nubile young women.
I would imagine colonization happened for economic gain with the colonists benefiting. The colonized population were likely still governed by the locals who were controlled by the colonizers.

For example, India was a colony of Britain. All trade was diverted to Britain to benefit them. The great famine of bengal for example was because farmers had to grow and send cotton to England rather than grow food for Indians. The economic activities were controlled by the colonizers armed forces.

The British colonized India. The Moghals invaded India. Alexander, The Great...for example..tried to invade India, but had to retreat. It’s usually done with armies vs colonizations that is through trade.

An invasion is when a military moved in and took over the government. The invaded country became the de facto territory of the invaders. And the invaded people have to live by the rule of the invaders. Example: Georgia was invaded by mongols and the Turks and then Russia. Each time, it became part of the other’s empire.
Most people will never get to their Enough number, so your point is moot. That is, even if by some miracle Enough caught on, and people did it, talked about it, and acted on it, not much would change except, at first, there would be a wave of retirements that, presumably, would open up positions for younger folks in the industry.
The GP was referring to specific, widely reported-on instances of Facebook dropping the ball on moderation - one which Zuckerberg has apologised for.[1] It was absolutely a failure that could have been averted with better management and planning. It's trivial/useless to point out that that other platforms make mistakes too. Of course they do. That's not an interesting discussion.

And, to address your new point about moderation being hard when you have billions of users: The thing about having billions of users, is that it gets you billions in revenue. In fact, revenue probably scales super-linearly with user count. Either way, the required-moderators-per-user actually decreases as you get more users because you can spread the fixed development costs of moderation tools (including ML models, obviously) over a larger number of revenue-generating users.

From your comment, your key point is apparently:

> just to mention the inconsistency with the blame solely being on Facebook itself

I don't think anyone is making the claim that it's "solely" a problem with Facebook. People are just pointing out and discussing mistakes that Facebook has made.

All of that said, Facebook is certainly doing better than they were a few years ago. For example, they now have people who can actually speak Burmese on their moderation team.[1] So that's a good start...

I've played the Half Life port, it is playable but had some fairly major issues. The framerate, controls, and load times were all pretty bad. The save files would become larger and larger (and took longer) as you progressed through each level to the point that in some sections a single save would occupy well over half of the VMU's capacity.
Why do you think some simple joins would risk to "bring your database"? It is code which is used all the time by tons of applications and not "some dark corner cases".

I've worked a number of companies where a culture formed spontaneously, and it was both productive and motivating with a real sense of camaraderie.

I've also worked at companies where the company created a culture with artificial team building tricks, and without exception it led to a shitty environment where HR and political schemers screwed over both the company and their fellow employees for petty gain.
You really can’t say if they can justify it or not. Only they can. If I can save 15 minutes per day, that would more than pay for $12/month. Time is your most valuable asset.
I don't think it's minor. It's a very uncomfortable controller. It certainly dampened my interest in the console a bit.

Let's look at the other side:

I run process oriented companies

Would I add a beer keg-refrigerator aka "kegerator" to keep some 25 year olds from considering other companies for 3 months longer than they would anyway? sure

Would I allow the work place to be used as a surrogate for their social causes? no - actually maybe if it needed to court advertisers all the time, but otherwise no because that was not the point of the business entity.

Would I hire an operations person to plan social things for employees to look forward to because I don't care about that at all? maaaaaaaaaybe

I never needed that stuff, clock in, clock out, nobody is really on the clock just meet your goals

For me, location is more important. What can you do in walking distance after work? I tend to keep my social circles separate, I don't want my colleagues or employees around.

The jobs I loathed the most had car-only commutes to office parks.

The jobs I enjoyed the most were in trendy parts of towns.

I think the people that attracts are heavily correlated and makes the culture on its own.
Vercel billing per-user is so head-scratching. I think it's a greedy billing strategy.
While I enjoy what is written here (I don’t agree with everything said, but do agree that “Year of the Linux Desktop” was a folly), its use of Gentium Book Basic as a font is problematic on Windows 10: The strokes have inconsistent width, which makes things hard to read.

ttfautohint may be able to resolve this issue; another solution would be to use either Source Serif Pro or Vollkorn for the body text (i.e. the class “wf-active”), which, like Gentium Book, have a traditional look to them, while rendering more nicely in Windows 10.

My workaround is to use Firefox’s document inspector to make the font a mixture of Bitstream Charter and Charis SIL, but reader mode is another workaround.

It's from Homer's Illiad and Odyssey where he refers to sea the color of wine. However: 1) it's possible he's referring to the darkness, not color, or some other aspect like turbulence; 2) he was also supposedly blind, so not the best judge of colors and 3) it's possible that he didn't really exist at all.

You may also need to hire more people as you scale. With API-based billing, this is fine as you can still allocate a certain expected revenue per user as a cost.
With head-based billing, what used to be a fixed cost now grows linearly, yearly, with headcount.
An alternative to Vercel and more budget friendly is AWS Amplify console. Costs just a few cents per build, connects with GitHub and you have multiple environments. I’ve had a decent experience - though far from perfect, justifies the cost.

My comment reacts to a comment claiming Apple doesn't care about collecting a fee from web apps.

Web apps theoretically allow both developers and users to skip the app store, and thus it's fees.

I use linear extensively. It’s the best tool for managing development tasks imo. Takes the best features of JIRA without the horrible UI/UX (linear has workflows, boards, lists, assignments, tags, cycles, projects, etc).

It’s also just incredibly simple to start using. They have a free version, so I’d say it’s worth checking out. It has integration with GitHub and Slack, which is about all I need as far as integrating goes.

I’ve used both Monday and Asana. I’ve not used Zenhub. Comparing linear to Monday and Asana, I’d say linear is much faster. It’s a native Mac app. It’s also nicer looking than both imo, which is a big deal for me.
I'll add, be wary of folks that are hard core self-promoting. Typically they are better at marketing themselves than they are at doing the thing.

One angle to consider here is that FIPS is informed by whatever NSA knows about cryptography, so not all the evaluation criteria is public. You and I may think djb's inventions are superior, but for example NSA might have an active research project into elliptic curves, and refused to endorse Curve25519 until those results came in.
