I maintain dual sims in my iphone. For dates this means that my "burner number" also has blue text messages, revealing to them it is an iphone and that other features are available like facetime and airdrop in the future.

I also maintain google voice numbers to set up additional accounts on places and more easily filter spam.

Right now, my one device has three numbers on it. (2x sim, 1x google voice).

Import Cycles in Golang and How to Deal with Them
It wasn't political or that someone had some beef with her research at Penn. Ultimately a requirement for academic labs is that you need to find a way to pay for your own research, because there just isn't money otherwise. Schools provide some startup funds to early career professors to get things going and equipment purchased, maybe a few salaries covered for a time, but the expectation is that they start securing their own funding themselves by writing grants to funding agencies calling for research in certain areas. This is why most Principle Investigators (PIs) are in their offices writing grants and keeping up with calls for proposals from funding agencies, and not in the lab toiling over experiments; gotta keep the funding coming and everyone under your wing employed. In my experience when PIs failed to secure grant money, at that point the lab had already spooled down and there isn't any more salaries to pay, and they usually just transitioned to a teaching professor role or a more administrative role in the department, covering their salary through those efforts rather than grant funding.
Jack Ma has disappeared as the public face of an African talent show he created, in a hint of the difficulties he is facing after a fall from grace in China.

Mr Ma was replaced as a judge in the final of Africa’s Business Heroes, a television contest for budding entrepreneurs, his photograph was removed from the judging webpage, and he was conspicuously left out of a promotional video.

The final took place in November, shortly after the Chinese tech billionaire made a candid speech criticising China’s regulators and its state-owned banks. In the wake of the speech, Mr Ma was dressed down by officials in Beijing and the $37bn initial public offering of his company Ant Group was suspended. He has not been seen in public since.

A spokesperson for Alibaba, which was founded by Mr Ma, said: “Due to a schedule conflict Mr Ma could no longer be part of the finale judge panel of Africa’s Business Heroes earlier this year (2020).”

One contestant in the competition said she had been star-struck when she pitched her business to Mr Ma in an earlier round. “You can’t imagine,” she said. But by the time of the final, Mr Ma had been replaced by Lucy Peng, an executive at Alibaba.

“There was something going on in China with Jack Ma or something, so (Lucy) also came in as well,” the contestant said.

While the final took place in November, the television broadcast of the show has been delayed until spring, according to two contestants, and one promotional video at the end of November makes no mention of Mr Ma.

Last year, contestants pitched their ideas directly to Mr Ma as they aimed to win huge prizes offered by his charity, the Jack Ma Foundation.

Mr Ma is one of China’s wealthiest men. In recent years, his work for the UN and global charity activities has brought a softer edge to China’s global image.

As the coronavirus pandemic deepened this spring, he donated tens of millions of face masks globally. He paired up with his longtime right-hand man Joe Tsai to donate 2,000 ventilators to New York as hospitals there forecast dire shortfalls — prompting a thanks from both US President Trump and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

In August, Mr Ma tweeted his congratulations to the 20 entrepreneurs pitching their way through his foundation’s months-long contest to crown a second annual batch of African “Business Heroes”.

“I can’t wait to meet them!” he said. It was one of his last tweets.
Thanks for sharing!

I also wonder whether the OP should have made clear decision (and expectation) between bootstraping vs startup, because I think they require different mentality, operation style and even market. With startup he and his cofounders could focus on applying incubator and/or angel investors early on. They would get some feedback on their ideas. They could even get a little funding to hire a designer or contractor to help build the UI (which appears to be the big drag). In this case you are trading ownership to additional support systems. If you do bootstrapping, then you'd need to prepare for the longer timeframe, and financial burden. Maybe still keep the original full-time job and working par-time on the side project.
Thanks. It does seem tantalizingly there. Now that I've pondered it a bit more I think what I want is a one-way direction from Google's suggestions into an ad-free browsing space. The omnibox is a bit of a misdirection.

What you describe about 'const' is just about const correctness. That's important but different than aliasing.

For example consider Slice::swap [1]. This does consider the possibility that the pointers alias, and correctly, because they might point at the same object.

How can we define what "capable of consciousness" is? As we become a species closer to exploring the vast cosmos, we have to be humble in our assumptions of what consciousness or life is. It's quite a Copernicus error to think that humanity is the center of relative consciousness to compare against. What consciousness is may be entirely incommensurable - which would be a serious error in our discovery of what else exists in the universe.

There's a lot of wisdom in Star Trek: TNG, and it feels more prudent than ever to contemplate these lessons as we near the point of becoming space faring species.
But this is the crux. What sorts of aliasing are permitted in unsafe Rust? I think we kind of don't know; that's what the "stacked borrow" effort is trying to answer.
They are different, but maybe not consistently so for everyone. The visual distortions might be similar but the feeling will probably be different.

> without any attempt to validate their investments.

I've also worked in adtech, for quite a long time on all sides, and my experience is that far more companies do research to justify their ad spend not validate it.

I have managed plenty of A/B tests in my day, each one claiming to show some improvement, 10%, 15% etc (some, as you said, showing no improvement). Even though these tests are often run "correctly", essentially nobody goes back and asks "wait, we had a 10% increase multiple times in the past year, but is our <metric> really showing the cumulative improvement we expected?"

The greatest trick in the industry is that because VC are pouring money into everything, everywhere, every metric appears to grow. At every startup, everywhere, pre-pandemic, numbers were going up because people were pouring money into the system.

I've worked at companies who I know for a fact their adtech product cannot and does not work, yet their business continues to explode because in recent months nearly all ad spend has been on digital ads.

I've talked to companies whose entire function is bidding optimization who literally do not understand how to optimize bidding given the information you have.

Absolutely people are running "experiments" but the function of the "experiments" is to justify that the ad team is worth having, and then that the VP of marketing is doing their job and then that the CEO has hired some super smart people, and then that the VCs might have really found a unicorn. Everyone sees what they want and no one really wants to ask the question "wait, does this really work? are these tests really able to capture the complexity of the environment?" And if you are one of those ornery people that insists on probing into the details and seeing if any of this is working, you will eventually get fired.

Ad tech is largely a scam, but a huge number of rich and smart people benefit from the illusion that it is not, so we continue to see experiments showing that everything works as expected.

The CPU will load less cache data with linear searches. This is because you will have less cache misses. Less cache misses == less loading from memory. With pointer-heavy data structures, you load more from memory, and most of the stuff you do load is useless.

A programming language idiom is a pattern or technique that you expect your readers to know, even if it isn't obvious when encountered for the first time. Here's an idiom:

for (int i=0; i < 10; i++)

We all instantly know this means loop 10 times, from 0 through 9. But on first read it takes a little work to figure out what's happening.

Honestly, the way that ad companies treat brand specific search terms has a whiff of fraud to me. Surely Google is well aware that by the time an end user is searching for a brand, they have no interest in anything else; they just forgot the specific URL. If I ever found docs encouraging such behavior, I'd upgrade it from "whiff" to "pants on fire".
Because it's not a sound bite, and because it's more about "owning the Democrats in Silicon Valley" than it is about solving the actual problem.

Also, the more effective solutions would diminish government power and is thus undesirable; restricting the ability of CloudFlare or hosting companies to turn away customers means that they no longer get to lean on CloudFlare to take down websites that they don't want, much like how they currently use financial institutions to do the same kind of thing (Operation Chokepoint).

GM pulled out. GM already pulled out of that factory in 1982 and left the workers with nothing.

By the time Toyota came back with a JV agreement w/GM in 1984, the NUMMI factory was the only Toyota factory with unionized labour force. UAW Local 2244 embraced Toyota’s methods and processes. But when GM quit(again), Toyota had no need to be there anymore with a local unionized work force. How would that jive their non unionized labour force everywhere else?

GM quit. That’s what they did. They were quitters. As was Ford(quit in neighboring Milpitas a few years before GM). Toyota was brilliant. They did good to the workers they let go when they quit NUMMI. They did good by almost $280 million. Towards the end, NUMMI only rolled out Toyotas.

It’s all Tesla now. For a while Jobs ran his NEXT manufacturing from NUMMI facility before he was welcomed back to Apple. That place is legit magick.

By all accounts, NUMMI was a great place to work and with GM gone, Toyota did not need the UAW Local 2244. Why would they? It is also California’s insane regulations and strangling policies that drove the last auto manufacturer out. Until Tesla came into the picture.

And CA almost drove Tesla away recently during the covid year..who knows what the future holds.
Only a relatively few amount of programmers have programmed in non-Algol syntax in-anger, rather than the reverse.

To me, it looks as if he wasn't obsessed with the problem.

He did everything except work on the product, from what I can tell, and my guess is that he either wasn't interested in the problem, and not disciplined enough to work on it anyway, or perhaps he suffers from impostor syndrome and don't want to work on the actual product because he thinks he'll fail.

(of course, not bothering about the product leads to bigger failure eventually)

The main thing that stands out to me is playing with small snippets of code in real-time as you're writing it. Contrast that with writing a class and methods, then writing unit tests, then running them. There might as much as ten minutes between the time you start writing your code and when you run any portion of it, and always running large chunks of changes.

Honestly, the biggest thing that attracts me to Rust is memory consumption. Most of my work is IO bound, usually on IO latency and not throughput, so the ability to pack more instances per container/vm/server/whatever would have a significant effect on my final bill per measurable unit.

It _is_ cargo-culting when publications begin to recommend it as standard practice, without explaining the reasoning. Because at that point either the publisher is doing it without understanding why, or the reader will follow the ritual without understanding why.
Code quality has little to do with performance.

Code quality here is more messy code, code that work now but doesn't abstract, ugly variables names like x..

Things that may even make your performance better now but harder/impossible to scale later.

When I searched for a very specific pillow type (and added country name to the search to get local results) I get this as first result on Google https://i.imgur.com/Fxx9b80.png. It's a mattress/pillow start-up/brand in India. The ad shows the exact thing I am looking for.

But when I click, and I am redirected to the actual product page https://i.imgur.com/eI6sNtJ.png that has none of these features and the product description is completely different from what it shows on Google Search result page.

I had reported this to Google sometimes back and nothing changed in their SEO gymnastics the last time I had checked a couple of weeks later.

I think what they are doing is fraud (wrong? unethical?). But what really annoyed me is it wasted a lot of my time as I thought I was doing something wrong and probably they actually had the product I am looking for.
When a Rust program is faster than the matching C program, it is utterly nonsensical to attribute its speed to C.

It is gratifying to see C++ identified, here, as the hands-down fastest implementation language, but odd to see Rust performance still compared, in the headline, to C, as if that were the goal. The headline should say that Rust speed is approaching C++ speed. In principle, Rust speed should someday exceed C++'s, in some cases, because it leaves behind some boat anchors C++ must retain for backward compatibility. In particular, if compiler optimizers could act on what they have been told about language semantics, they should be able to do optimizations they could not do on C++ code. As it is, Rust relies on optimizers coded for C and C++.

Rust may never reliably beat C++, because Rust has itself committed to details that interfere with optimization, principally in its standard library: The C++ Standard Library offers more knobs for tuning, while the Rust libraries are simpler to use.

Some of the reasons that C++ is so reliably faster than C are subtle and, to some, surprising. As noted elsewhere in this thread, the compiler knows more about what the language is doing, and can act on that knowledge, but C and C++ compilers share their optimizer, so that makes less difference than one might guess. Mainly, the C++ code does many things you might do in C, but in exactly one way that the optimizer can recognize easily.

The biggest reason why C++ is so much faster than C is that C++ can capture optimizations in libraries and reliably deliver those optimizations to library users. The result is that people who write C++ libraries pay a great deal of attention to performance because it pays, and that attention directly benefits all users of the library, including other libraries.

Because you can capture more semantics in C++ libraries, C++ programs naturally use better algorithms than C programs can. C programs much more frequently use pointer-chasing data structures because those are easier to put into a C library, or quicker to open-code, where the corresponding C++ program will use a library that has been hand-tuned for performance without giving up anything else.

Rust gets to claim many of the same benefits, because it is also more expressive than C, and Rust libraries are often as carefully tuned. Rust is not as expressive as C++, yet, and has many, many fewer people working to produce optimal libraries, but it is doing well with what it has.

“I’ve heard of defensive programming, but never adversarial memory.” — Ben Gomes
> Incrementality testing is a big part of marketing measurement at any reputable agency

In a huge number of cases these tests are run by people that don't have the statistical background to property run and understand these tests, in the remaining cases there is almost never follow through to ensure that the results of the test have persisted after the experiment.

People will say "oh this test shows 10% improvement, and this one does too! and this one! and this one!" But then you should see a nearly 50% improvement just because of ad spend and you almost never do. Nobody ever check that all the numbers add up, they just want the numbers that someone reported to feel like they are sound enough to hold up to scrutiny but scrutiny is never applied.
