>The cloud will not help you.

If the software was installed on a remote server, the children would have had no way of knowing how to gain access to it to cut the internet to an entire data center. Instead they simply looked at the side of the school building. So, you're mistaken at best?

> I.e. if the students had no internet cables to cut, they could just as easily have cut the power. Or set fire to the building.

So they're going to drive to the home of every teacher and cut their power or set their homes on fire? If the software was on a server not hosted at the actual school building, my wife could have been teaching today. From home. Most people do have the internet at home you know, however their only software that isn't hosted inside the school building is zoom.

If they have a snow day because the buses can't safely get student to school, they could remote work at home, even if the power went out at the school building as it's highly unlikely every teacher would be affected by a limited power outage.

Etc.

>you need physical security.

They do have physical security, but unless you're planning on automated defense turrets laying waste to children that get too close to an exterior wall, or enough humans to constantly monitor every last inch of the property via live camera feeds...

Again, hosting all of the software in the cloud, instead of on a server inside the school building, is a far cheaper solution.

A company providing this sort of hosted software is in a far better position to provide physical security, DDoS protection, etc if they're hosting the software for many schools instead of expecting thousands of schools to be able to do this on their own on a fairly limited budget.,
I personally know 3 people who get pretty ill from VR, so that's not an option for everyone.
You're right, I didn't notice that by default they direct you to business tiers and you have to click on a small link to switch to the "basic" plans. Their website has become such a weird thing to navigate...
Ahh, that's very fair as well. I guess the underlying issue is, of course, different people learn differently, and we shouldn't have a one-size-fits-all solution... even though that's what we're driven to: efficient-in-terms-of-quantity systems to churn through large piles of students with minimally enforced expectations of the quality of received instruction.
Minecraft (obviously the Java edition) actually uses some native libraries (LWJGL) so I don't know if Minecraft is a good comparison.
Sure. My point here is that UFO belief can be characterized as mostly harmless. A few death cults have used it, but the vast majority of UFO believers aren't running off to join death cults.
Briefly put: the speed of light.

It takes a long, long time to get anywhere, because light moves at a relative crawl compared to the distances between stars, so it would be a long and energy-intensive process to visit another planet, especially given how hard it would be to detect a civilization there before you departed. The Earth didn't emit much of a signal on radio waves until about 1900, so even if the aliens were only sixty light years away and could move at the speed of light, they'd have had to launch just as soon as they got some signals.

Ah, but FTL, you say. But nothing. FTL implies Closed Timelike Curves: time travel, or the informational equivalent, with all of the logical paradoxes that can entail. I'd sooner believe in breaking the conservation of mass-energy than beating the speed of light.
Apple had the option of making the M1 Air lighter (by choosing a smaller battery) but decided instead to greatly increase battery life. The point remains that Apple has choices that vendors of laptops reliant on Intel CPUs do not have, which might end up eating into Intel's market share.
Strongly disagree. I'm writing this on a 12" MacBook with a partly broken screen - by far my favourite machine (I have a 2020 MacBook Pro too). I'm not alone too.

I expect we'll see an M series MacBook again but this time it won't be underpowered.
What does a UFO look like?
4 years old. The world is completely different today. We run a number of HA Postgres setups on k8s and it works beautifully. Local nvme acccess with elections backed using k8s primitives.
Solid state physics begets both cryogenic technology and cryocooling technology. I wouldn't write off the possibility of making an extremely small cryocooler quite yet. Maybe a pile of solid state heat pumps could do it.
If by 'today's you mean last year or so...

So, how did your evaluation go? I mean the real evaluation, experience of coding, building an app, deploying it?
I'm European, and it's not that hard. Racial discrimination is a longstanding and complex issue, with lots of different factors feeding into the situation that the US now finds itself in – and there are related (but different) situations all over the world. It's worth taking a step back and thinking a bit about the parts that you are missing.

Your specific example is simplified to the point of irrelevance. Coffee shops and universities are different places. Denying service to a group based on their characteristics is a different thing from investing in a program targeted at that group. Actions involving underrepresented groups have different impact from the same actions involving majority groups.

It's like pointing out that "you can't shout 'fire' in a crowded theatre so freedom of speech doesn't exist!" when in reality the whole situation is way more complex, and simple examples don't have any relevance.
I know these letters are probably hard to write but when you do have to write one I think referring to people as "people" instead of "resources" would be better.
You should relax and learn how to communicate without coming off like an asshole. No one actually intended to raid Area 51, it was obviously a joke.
Can't imagine why it would, but the lack of heat makes a 3D cpu much more feasible. So you could take 20 die, make 20 layers, and get radically more transistors per volume.
Addblock usage / private mode / not being logged in, could be seen as a strike?
Enterprise collaboration is going to use what integrates with their email - that's going to be OneDrive or Google Drive. The commodity syncing space was where DropBox shined, and it feels weird taking a step back from that.
iMessage pulls this off though, afaik iMessage does this by having the sender encrypt for each recipient device.
You absolutely have to pay for an extended validation code signing certificate for Windows 10 Smartscreen to allow your installer to run.
Nazis were regular people too (not all obviously), and blindness to this makes you vulnerable to those same evils. Dehumanize at your own risk, you might think it's justified but we're all humans, and in a way it is like doing it to yourself.
Precisely, yes. And then this makes you wary of subscription-based software in general. At one point it seemed that an "extended Moore's law" (if not CPU transistors, then the general cost of compute, memory and storage) and the beauty of near-zero marginal costs would lead to a bright "there's an app for that" future. I remember Evernote launched at some point an iOS app to store food reviews, it was glorious. But now the future seems darker. Bean counters have finally noticed the windfall that's the extreme economies of scale in internet businesses. There's no "singularity" of accelerated tech change. I'm tech-savvy enough to roll out a personal blog stored on my custom sqlite format, but isn't it safer if I just write longhand and file it physically? Use the typing process for proofchecking. Decelerationism.
Do you mean the "eval()" function?
Yeah working for yourself is a big trap to watch out for. I have fallen for it numerous times.

The problem is when you're working for yourself (or a worthy non-commercial cause) work feels more fun and worthwhile, but the health damage is kind of the same (long hours, lack of exercises, sub-optimal nutrition). Despite it "feeling good," working in this over-capacity regime ends up really inefficient (since you're tired and not seeing the big picture).

One thing that I find helps is to get other people involved (e.g. collaborators, reviewers, users, etc) then allow yourself to take breaks, while still knowing work on the project is continuing by others.
> congress attached to the covid relief bill

They did? Got a link? I tried a Google search but found nothing.
I made the decision to migrate away for exactly the same reason. I think they are desperately trying to be more than a “feature” (as Steve Jobs correctly labelled them) and in this desperation they are obfuscating the very feature that brought people to them in the first place.
DC scale is great. Most stuff runs in a DC. What's wrong about requiring DC scale?
True, but usually the problem is removing the heat from the chip, not the total amount of heat produced. If the heat is mostly produced by the cooling system then that problem all but goes away.
In the case where there are still Borrelia bacteria you're true, but if it can be checked that the intruders have vanished (which is the case in most cases of difficult to treat CLD or CF) then it should not pose any problem.

In the case where the Borrelia are just hiding and in a latent state, then all is a question of comparating the dynamics of the two sides: the time required by the Borrelia to wake up and proliferate, vs the time required by the vitamin D to reduce the autoimmunity to the point where the body is again desensitized about itself.

A short treatment of vitamin D would be sufficient to cure the immune problem and not long enough to allow the bacteria to take over. (Hypothetically. This is just a possibility and has to be researched, but this is exactly why I am enthusiastic.)

Also, contrary to steroidal treatment, vitamin D bolsters a part of the immunity (lymphocytes T), even if it dampens an other part. So, it would restore a balance which is lost in case of defective aquiered immunity.
The annoying part for that exam is apparently the pre-exam diet
I worked at VMware when Pat first became the CEO. Pat is very much an engineer. If you ever wanted an engineer as your CEO, then that's Pat. That comes with some goods and some not-so-greats. Pat isn't very inspiring, at least not when he first became CEO. But I always got the feeling that he genuinely love engineers and is more comfortable around them than anything else. I once hosted a fun little engineering challenge (building bridges out of spaghetti). It wasn't a fancy event -- just a bunch of engineers having fun. Pat actually agreed to come by to hand out the awards at the end. I left VMware partly because I've been there so long and partly because I wasn't excited about it anymore. I felt its best days were behind it. Well, Pat proved me wrong by a wide margin. If no-nonsense engineering is what you need to win, then Pat is the right person for the job. It's a good day for Intel I think.
Mind expanding on this a bit more? What is that that limit and how does it relate to the clock speed?
Overwhelmingly the result is a draw. White can win sometimes, and wins for black are very rare. It's similar for top grandmasters, but not quite as stark.
Yes. Wife & I greatly prefer remote/WFH. The hours of BS meetings are easier to deal with in the comfort of my own home with food/drink/bathroom quickly available without queues. I have a treadmill for walks during breaks, before and after work. The time saved not commuting has gone towards home cooking / more consistent daily workouts / sleep.

That said we are DINK, so results may vary.
However most of my coworkers with kids have figured out some sort of childcare arrangement and are happier than before. Several coworkers with small children are cherishing the extra time bonding that they would never have had before.

The people suffering are those who were probably struggling before - two income households who needed public schools open as a form of free daycare.

Also a lot of extroverts & type-a managers imagining they are suffering because it's harder to BS, appear busy and politic from home.
I never said it didn't. It's the way they combine and interact that differs.
Any entropy reduction activity in one area automatically means a lot more heat is added somewhere else :) (2nd law)

I'm looking for the same as well. I've heard good things about actual enterprise APs, though they seem to be quite expensive. Ruckus APs are 4x the price of my current Ubiquiti APs.

I'll probably do more research into this when Wi-Fi 6E becomes more commonplace. For now, I just block outbound internet access on the management network for my Ubiquiti APs and controller.
I'm fine with that... if they can prove it. They have to release stats that show what percentage of customers called in with a custom firmware and how long it took the techs to solve their issue.

I guaran-fucking-tee you someone smart enough to flash a custom firmware will likely have scoured the Internet for the answer first. Most of the time, they'll find their answer somewhere on a forum / blog post. I would actually be willing to bet money that technical support spends far less time with these people than it does with older customers who "can't be bothered with reading" or younger customers who grew up in the "it just works" generation.

There seems to be a middle ground of people, I think we're called the Analog-To-Digital generation, that had to actually put effort into learning technology, because so much shit had to be manually configured, that we gained a pretty solid understanding of tech and we don't have the fear of it that I see in people even just five years older than me (I'm 40), and the lack of interest in digging around in the "guts" that I see in people far younger than me (25 and under).
I went to a University of California some 15-20 years ago for undergrad and none of your 4 points are true in my experience.

> Listening to a professor speaking to himself from a distance of 10 meters is an awful experience compared to a video recording that you can stop/rewind.

It's not an awful experience, in fact, you can often ask questions during or after lectures. It also has the benefit of being similar to the stage of life you just came from (high school, for most students), so you're not switching to a different mode of learning.

> For labs it's not like you get any help either. You just have to follow some instructions point by point and if you do not understand something, tough luck, the professor has already moved to the next exercise.

All labs sessions I've had always had a TA present. I've gotten countless help from the TAs during lab sessions. The only times they're not there is if you start early or stay late and they've left. TAs also lead discussion sections. In general they are a huge help and it's their job to help students because a professor can't always be there.

> The worst part is that you have to spend 6-8 hours a day, 5 days a week like this and then you still need to find online materials to actually learn the thing. Some people have to work too.

This is simply false. I was a full time student and took a full 15+ units per quarter (which is more than average) and it was barely 2-3 hours of lecture a day on average over 5 days, plus ~1 hour of discussion section per day on average. Most of the rest of time is intended to be for homeworks, studying, lab sessions, etc.

Maybe I'm too old and times were different, but we've never had to find online materials to accompany anything we learned over classes, in all of my classes (computer science or others). Everything we needed was included in textbooks, notes from the professor, or discussed in lectures/classes. Also, I know I might be of the minority opinion here, but I actually did find much of the knowledge from computer science classes helpful for future work (been a software engineer for 15 yerars now).

> Did I mention 2 hours of commute time every day?

I don't know what it's like outside the US, but in the US it's common for students graduating high school and going to college to leave their hometown and rent an apartment in their new college town. Commutes are typically under 15 minutes by bike/walk/bus in my college town. You could live literally in any part of that (small) city and be within 15 minutes from campus one way or another.
Those planes have very unusual forms by the standards the public was accustomed to decades ago. In the time since, those planes and ones even more exotic have appeared countless times in popular media, changing the public's perception of what airplanes might look like.
> no consequences

Wouldn't the consequences be doing poorly on future assessments, or otherwise other visible ways of not understanding the material?

The frustrating thing for me as a student was always either (a) when I understood the topic and was bored out of my mind sitting through explanations of it or (b) when I didn't understand the material, and was trying to, but the other students in the class/room who did understand and were bored were distracting or otherwise soaking up the instructor's attention.

In my imagination there's some flavor of system where students can opt-in to exactly as much hands-on instruction as they want for a particular subject... but that does assume "good faith" on part of the students, and that they're motivated to be engaged.

Probably too utopian, but still.
Wow! Big musical chairs.
What the OP has described is pretty much the "good agile" from the famous Steve Yegge blogpost: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2006/09/good-agile-bad-agile...
It is quite hilly! Walking the walls is a hike. I was there 10 years ago, and it was surprising just how much of that country remained scarred from the war in the 90s. Especially in the countryside it was common to see shot up old concrete buildings. Painful reminders, but a lovely country where even middle class travelers like myself could afford to eat excellent fresh local seafood and wine with every meal, and it was lovely to have my cousins from Bosnia stop by for a day in Dubrovnik.
Materialist or skeptical views are also comfort food for the mind, though. It's just comfort for a mind that's differently tuned.

These beliefs project a very basic, easily understood view of reality - discount vast amounts of difficult or inconvenient experiential data which has been with mankind since the beginning (ETs, visions, dreams, ghosts, the paranormal, faith healing, synchronicities, etc.) - and papers over a variety of huge and fundamental questions (origins, purpose, life after death, etc) with a very solid, tangible, and pat answer.

People who are deep into materialism will also see materialism everywhere, so the effect also happens that you mentioned with your grandmother.

Because, obviously, everyone wants to be the RISC raspberry. Becoming the expensive-alternative-to-raspberry-nobody-knows-about is not so attractive.

Moreover, it looks to me like these cheap boards are not lacking features. What would you want in a premium version that is not present in the current models?
The larger the volume of space considered, the higher probability there is that a thing exists somewhere in it. Plus, if aliens have landed on earth, you also need to postulate a cover-up that has successfully prevented almost everyone from finding out.

It's not about sanity, it's just about understanding how much evidence certain claims require to be considered likely.
Intelligence agencies have internal decoding competitions and trainings. This sounds like one of them, simply framed around an alien transmission, and you're just looking at the answer key where it's assumed the reader is familiar with the frame.

The entire "transmission" is at the end. To be honest, of all the things we could receive from an alien source, "They transmitted basic set theory and a periodic table at us... and that's it..." would almost be the weirdest possible outcome.
A few suggestions there:

- hardkernel boards

- Nvidia Jetson AGX Xavier (8 core + 512 CUDA core volta GPU, PCIe 4.0)

- Honeycomb LX2 (16 core, quad SFP+ (for 10G optics), PCIe 4.0)

I purchased an AGX Xavier for doing some self driving robot projects.
It's 3 common things, one of which marked optional. The only "big wish" on that is the desire to run decent software of the users choice on it which is a big wish for anything except a PC-turned-network-device.
Its a bit cold in space. But actually its really difficult to cool down things in space as there is nothing around you to transfer heat to.

Note that the gates themselves used here are reversible, so the limit shouldn't apply to them. But the circuits built from them them aren't reversible as far as I can see in the paper, so it would still apply to the overall computation.
Wouldn't want the world getting too productive, after all :)

Ye olde "Thinkpad + Linux" is unironically one of the best options around. I've owned 3 or 4 Thinkpads, and all of them run Linux like they were designed for it. Considering the security issues and hidden analytics in Big Sur, there are plenty of better platforms around. If you're looking to outright replace MacOS, KDE will mostly do the trick. It's super customizable, and contains all of the MacOS idiosyncratic staples (Global menu, dock bar, you get the point). With that, you get perfect Unix compatibility and software freedom, and you're only losing a few proprietary apps in the migration process.
I'm just going to plug this book because it's so good and adds a lot more color to these comments -

For context, this book covers history on the development of these UFOs and was written by Ben Rich, who worked at and eventually led the Lockheed division that developed these planes. If nothing else, it's a fascinating account of many historical events from a totally different vantage point.
Probably not.

A Transaction’s Journey Through Brex
>...the encryption setup invisible and painless for everyone.

Yeah, wouldn't that be great? Unfortunately, the identity management stuff requires the user to understand a fairly unintuitive concept. You can nag people to check their key fingerprint ("safety numbers" in Signal) and they might, but when it suddenly changes they won't have the faintest idea of what they should do.

There has been an endless cycle of failing to address the actual problem over the years. The current discussion is just the latest iteration.
People downvote me all the time without saying why. I figure it's because they don't like what I'm saying but they simply cannot come up with a good rebuttal.

So whenever that happens, I feel like I've won. Thanks for all the downvotes suckers!
