Seems low TBH. Bitcoin is astonishingly, ridiculously inefficient and people's minds just seem to bounce off the numbers because they're so ludicrous. and before you try to say 'well the financial industry also uses a lot of energy', consider that the bitcoin network uses about as much energy as the entire financial industry (the servers, people, offices, everything). One basically runs the world's economy, the other can do 7 transactions a second.
I'm saying that those are major customer-facing reasons for why Google is seen as not good these days, not inside baseball culture wars that could be attributable to a "tiny minority of sanctimonious blowhards".

We are a food delivery startup based in Indianapolis, IN. We build and operate profitable delivery-only kitchens with our own chefs and drivers. We control all aspects of the process from order to cooking to delivery. We think the way food delivery is being done at scale today is broken and unsustainable, so we fixed it.

We are hiring to build out a few focused teams around some key business areas. You will have a lot of influence on these new teams and help shape the future of the company. We are seeking talented, self-motivated people who enjoy challenging problems in a fast and fun environment. You will be valued and you will make a difference!

I've started realizing this since the Exquifax breach. There is no point for companies to take security seriously because what the flip does it matter for them? They'll bohoo about how bad it was, fire their security people bring in new ones and nothing will change.

In short if you are in the security field at this point you aren't being brought in to secure or stop anything you're there for upper management to point the blame at when the attack does occur. Because spending money on security cuts into revenue and profits and unlike not investing in paying off technical debt this has no material consequences.
How did the initial conversation with your manager go about you leaving? I've definitely left companies before instead of just switching teams because it felt like I had a tough time explaining that my wanting to switch teams wasn't the manager's fault and it was easier to explain wanting to switch companies instead without making it seem like a personal affront to the manager. I'm wondering now if I wasn't giving my old manager enough credit for taking bad news well.
Shame it didn't just stay a trading bloc. This expansion of power is really unpopular and enabled Brexit in the first place.

It's also probably a proxy for immigration, mostly of the illegal variety, but also legal within the Schengen area. People don't take too kindly to having a supernational body tell them who is allowed to enter their country, stay for long periods of time, and their very loose definition of refugee. I know that some nations are politically very much in alignment with the EU's immigration push (Germany is obvious) but clearly the UK isn't. The EU should not have touched this issue.

The single area interest rate also creates a lot of economic tension that perhaps the average joe can't articulate, but he certainly is affected by it.
beautiful design.
You inserted the "all", I did not write "they fire all the young people". It's also just an example.

It is also not a given that young people will have it easier to find a new job. Youth unemployment is at staggering heights in many countries.

And by your logic, there still is no incentive for young people to support the unions. They could just give up their jobs voluntarily, if they are so convinced that it is the right thing to do.
Having searched through my browsing history and some web searches it seems you're right. I do wonder if the move to more virtualisation outside of the server world will open up additional vulnerabilities but it does look like that's where most of the trouble is at the moment.
In Taiwan the memory of military rule isn't all stale, and the current party in power is the one that is explicitly not the KMT with a romanticized view of the past.

So I'd say the Taiwan situation is excellent Services per Authoritarian buck.

And to turn it around, while armed Civilians do erode the Government monopoly on violence, I will refuse to blame that for our current dysfunction. We suck, without or without the 2nd amendment.
> New proposed rule: All patents must be accompanied by a working prototype that encompasses all claims. Anything not implemented in the prototype is not in the patent.

Interesting rule. I'm not sure that a single prototype per patent is reasonable, though, given that claims may cover mutually exclusive claims and divergent use-cases.

A set of prototypes that collectively cover all claims (though not all possible combinations of claims) might work, except that the hard part might still be reducing to practice a particular combination of claims not in any of the prototypes.

Eg. A patent that has claims for electronic storage and playback of music and claims for a handheld data storage device (each claim embodied separately in prototypes) as well as the combination of a handheld device for electronic storage and playback of music (claim not embodied in a prototype).

I'm not sure how to construct the rules in such a way that you aren't either saddling inventors with the need to produce a huge number of prototypes representing a combinatorial explosion of claims and their combinations, nor allowing patent holders to extort subsequent inventors for inventions that they could never have reduced to practice themselves.

Leaving the determination of which combinations of claims to allow as "reducing to practice is left as an exercise for the engineer" up to the patent examiner still leaves in place the existing misalignment of incentives that the current system has, except it makes applying for patents more expensive.
As of right now according to the JHU coronavirus map Thailand has 8439 recorded cases and 65 deaths.
Ideology wasn’t thin in the ground for either the leftist Brexiteers, “Nationalists”, paternalistic One Nation stories or for the Ever Closer Union lot.

The main complaint about the whole process was that it was far too ideological instead of being benignly technocratic.
For sure! I actually can't wait to remove my profile from the homepage completely, there are lots of great ones now.
I agree. For a small artist, With streaming coming in with tens of thousands of songs per day [1] but the proceeds go not from me who is paying to the artist I play songs from, but to some average calculated where the money goes to the big artists, I don’t see this being much better than the piracy that went before it.

Yes. I’ve worked at places that don’t give a 401k, only 2-3 days off including the federal holidays, I’ve worked at places that don’t extend any benefits to part-time workers that reach into the 30 hour range (multi year workers), I’m pretty sure I know full time workers that don’t get health insurance at some of these places, I’ve seen corporations relegate workers to temp status via actual legislation (Uber/lyft), I read the history of human-kind of labor abuse. And this is what I’ve seen as a ‘knowledge’ worker, and was raised by blue collar workers that have seen much more.

I wanted to be civil, but I just have to ask, are you fucking stupid or something?
That's an implementation detail in service to controlling value on the ledger. Moving it around does not change that it represents ownership of a quantifiable amount of BTC, unless you sell it or trade it.
Yes quite correct. I know some anti-virus engines have been using it for behavioural analysis. I wonder if this will mean more exploits against anti-virus emerge, as with their unpacker routines.
This is one big surveillance super state. Companies e.g. have to submit all their invoices, bank accounts to gov in real time. Some member states even require separate bank accounts to store VAT. Bureaucracy is just gargantuan. If you think it is easy then likely you are doing something wrong.
Yes. However itf you are not based in the US or Canada but would willing to relocate to Canada, we can talk more about if we would be able to support a visa. Unfortunately immigration in the US is a bit challenging right now.
I have to say I agree. NX is totally fine for the applications it was built for. I appreciate the simple API and the flexibility of using pure Python. There's a reason it's so popular.

I'm not an expert in graph neural networks, so can't really say much about the novelty of Node2Vec. But I do think it's often misguided to judge scientific work as trivial or incremental in retrospect. Specially in a relatively young field like deep learning, where four years (Node2Vec is from 2016) is a long time.
This makes total sense, will look into more ways to export your data.

Yes. I've got relatives in the Philippines and they're not expecting to get vaccinated until 2023/2024, assuming the virus doesn't get to them first.

We're amazingly lucky in the developed world and U.S. in particular. Wealth makes it possible to buy up all the supplies (which, reportedly, the U.S. has done) and make sure your people get first in line for it. This is also why the U.S. is both idolized and hated in much of the world.
Interesting anecdote non-withstanding, a white board interview would have not been a good way to predict your ability to have done that. The limiting factor was not your ability to remember the algorithm from memory, which you didn’t do, but the ability to make complex decisions based on real world constraints and data. In a whiteboard situation, chances are the “correct” answer would be “it’s not possible”, since without knowing the actual data set that’s true.
I'm just wondering what the hell a "signature" is in this context? You think Cozy Bear is leaving their name in the binary? It's just a lot of security-by-obscurity hand waving. It's FireEye spewing out stuff as "facts" with very little evidence.
Probably a lot. Unless you're getting paid enough to put up with it:) That being said, I think a lot people that aren't singularly money-focused overestimate how much money will outweigh other factors in their job.
XMPP killed XMPP. Its just not very good. It doesn't work well between different clients and servers. The protocol is a horribly overcomplicated mess of overlapping, partially supported extensions for basic functionality. And it doesn't work at all with low power mobile delivery. (It was invented before the iphone.)

There might have been political reasons why google dropped XMPP, but it would also make sense as a purely technical decision.

Just flip it around, would plummeting housing prices benefit homeowners with a mortgage? No, that's a disaster (see the 2007 housing crash). Borrowing, especially at the extreme low rates, on an appreciating asset is great, paying debt on a depreciating asset is a nightmare.
Self-signed cert, and I have to login? Seems suspicious...
Isn't this kind of redirection to set a cookie something explicitly blocked by Safari's Block Cross-Site Tracking feature? And I believe Firefox introduced a similar feature as well (not sure about Chrome). I feel like this kind of redirect thing was explicitly called out in the blog post announcing the very first version of this feature.
His distinctive look would make him easy to find.
I think it's been slashdotted...
But for the individual, it is rational to try to maximize their own share of the profit, is it not? And since we're talking about immensely wealthy corporations, some of which have nice margins and billions of dollars of cash in reserve, it's a bit of an intuitive step. To go back to your previous post, deserve's got nothing to do with it. The rational individual would seek to optimize their share, even if it involves questioning accepted wisdom.
It should all be public information in the first place.
It's really unclear what's next for the HGP. While HGP and many other sequencing projects have been invaluable to academic research, and it's truly useful for a number of diseases, the main result of the HGP, in my mind, is that it made clear to everybody how much harder the genotype->phenotype problem was than what the geneticists who set up the HGP anticipated.

Medically speaking, there isn't enough evidence to support the cost of doing WGS for individuals in most circumstances, or even storing large amounts of WGSs to do large-scale population-level analysis.
People have been saying Tether is gonna crash since late 2017 and that FUD directly helped cause the cryptocurrency crash of late 2018. People that would’ve swapped out of crypto into tether swapped out of crypto all together when they lost faith in tether. But look, tether is still around and doing fine. It has held it’s value of $1 for most of the time. People say it might not have it’s full reserve requirement of 100% dollars. But banks in the United States normally operate with a reserve requirement of only 10%. There are also a few different tether replacements available for people to swap into now.

Yes, that _is_ surprising! The points made by the OP are exactly the opposite. I believe the language itself is redeemable, but it's the implementations of many features that are just so faulty.

To take your example, yes it's great that it makes UTF-8 as the primary encoding for strings, but then the implementation in the core and in the ecosystem completely fails in enforcing or honoring that.

Edit: please see the filename example in the post to see the failure around adhering to UTF-8.

If they are so good at long term planning, then why is so much stuff they do shortsighted? IE...

Building the 3 Gorges dam out of various types of concrete, and not letting it cure properly, etc. Every possible corner was cut, repeatedly. This is a project that not only supplies power- it is supposed to control floods, and they more or less agreed that it won't work for that. The damage to the dam this year must have been immense, and as the climate changes we can expect more of the same kind of rainfall and flooding. In no possible universe is a major dam collapse flooding Wuhan under 2m of water and washing away Pudong an example of "short term concerns".

Building empty cities, despite having a population that will decline very soon, and low quality construction that degrades relatively quickly. Ok, short-term consequence is the real estate bubble keeps on going, but if you are worried about the long term, probably better to nip that in the bud. And don't even get me started on the Belt and Road initiative, which is an expensive jobs program that has hurt China's image abroad.
Indeed. They also maintain a site dedicated to the gov.uk web design system, with free resources such as HTML components. https://design-system.service.gov.uk/
The original system for the Electoral College (where some electors from a state could vote differently than others) made sense. So did having the vice president be the runner up (before the 14th Amendment) - this is why the VP getting the ability to break ties in the senate made more sense too.

The current EC implementation is terrible however. Small states already get massive overrepresentation in the Senate, they don't need a second system to weigh in their favor.

I very much want to see one person, one vote, with approval voting (i.e. pick ALL the people you're happy to see being president, the winner gets the job) being used for presidential elections.
Why did you add your personal pronouns? I don't understand why we are stating the obvious here.
I really don't follow. If you're programming in a language without a REPL, don't you have the exact same problem? If the author doesn't document their knowledge, then it's lost for readers.

I don't really see how a REPL makes any difference there.
They do have an appeal. I wouldn't be surprised if they extricate him on appeal. The higher up you go, the more politics get involved in these international incidents (even in the "impartial" courts).
This is really tough - humans are hardwired to form connections and remember people by recognizing faces. This, of course, is also exactly the problem, in that it allows for bias or prejudice of many different types to influence our judgements.

I think I agree with you that the downsides and inherent unfairness of the genetic attractiveness lottery outweigh the upsides of attaching a name to a face. It's an empirical question then whether this works for users.
It seems quite unlikely for bitcoin to successfully change anything about the protocol: even simple changes have been failures.
That's fascinating -- do you have any links to examples?

I'm searching online but can't find anything at all. I've never heard of using Retinex in the context of dithering, and wondering what specifically you mean by Retinex-"like"?

I'm also really curious what contexts this has been most successful in. E.g. was it used for dithering in images or games back in the 1990's when we were limited to 16-bit or 256-bit color? Or is this something more recently explored in academia or in some niche imaging applications?

Oh, they show up occasionally, looking to troll, not for new perspectives, but they get downvoted and banned quickly by the community and moderators and eventually go away, because the moderation system works.
Why did you add in your personal pronouns? Are you saying that there are more than 2 sexes? Can you just change your sex with the flip of a switch? Let's end this trend of adding our pronouns to every social profile.

It should in fact have an effect on real-world code. It looks like sloc in general doesn't handle nested block comments, so any source file that uses nested block comments will be counted incorrectly by sloc.

WhatsApp Key Updates – Feb 8, 2021
The bureaucracy sucks, but I think I could deal with that. The biggest buzzkill for me is working on such minuscule parts of enormous systems. In software, the results of your work are already pretty abstract, but working for a huge company, it's on another level, and I just can't find any motivation in it. It's never interested me, and I'm not sure why I thought it would for the right price.

On the contrary... Running a site like this with the hot new rube goldberg stack and drastically overpriced VMs would be embarrassing.

I find the simplicity here quite comforting.
I've never lived in the mid-west or the New England region of the USA. Maybe it's a regional usage (I've lived in Florida, Texas, California, Colorado, Utah, Oregon, and Washington). I'm not sure where I picked up my usage from. My dad is from Colorado and my mom from California. Maybe I picked it up from one of them ;-)
> (Though honestly, if you show just one letter even for non-risky recovery attempts, why bother? It can't possibly be of any significant help to the users.)

Why? I use multiple email addresses and on these occasions seeing that single letter (at beginning or end) helps me know which account to check for recovery steps. This is significant to me.
