I've noticed the same thing and also react similarly.

It also becomes apparent when talking about issues such as zoning, and housing. (Every time you hear talk about reassessing houses for taxes I get confused, because in the UK, and Finland, the two countries where I've lived and bought property, we don't have annual taxes that work like that.)

Mostly I bite my tongue and keep quiet, though there have been a few Brexit-related posts over the past few years where I can sometimes be involved.
My laptop is more secure than any cryptocurrency by a wide margin. The programming and security model of Ethereum is absolutely bonkers, with front-running bots running rampant and "smart" contracts getting their funds siphoned every day.

Remember the DAO? Man was that funny. I'm still shocked that that wasn't the end of this whole Bitcoin fad.

Let's not let big numbers obscure the fact that the model is fundamentally broken. You could spend a quadrillion dollars building a cryptocurrency and I could still get a faster and more secure system for $50 on eBay.

Hey yuncancode - Regarding placement of machines, we only controlled the placement of machines in the same availability zone in the us-east region. We did not use more granular controls, such as AWS's Placement groups, Azure's Proximity placement groups, or GCP's placement policies. We did this to ensure fairness in the test between the cloud providers and to align with a common pattern of distributing machines within an availability zone to maximize availability.

Fairness:
Each of the cloud provider's have varying placement systems. According to AWS's documentation, AWS's Placement groups allows one to choose among three different placement strategies: Cluster, Partition, and Spread. On the other end of the spectrum, Azure's Proximity placement groups are focused on a single strategy of minimizing network latencies. In the end, we decided to go with the default placement of machines for each cloud by not using these granular controls.

Maximizing Availability:
As discussed in more detail in the Network Benchmark section of the report, there is a tradeoff between maximizing availability and minimizing network latency when placing machines. For this report, we intentionally did not use the Cluster strategy. We oriented our tests with the common pattern among CockroachDB use cases of distributing one’s machines across an availability zone to maximize availability. Depending on one’s use case, it also may make sense to focus more on minimizing latency.

The real problem here is latency, and I'm good friends with the folks who are working the hardest on that issue for real musicians wanting to collaborate with each other in real time. The most important work is being done with SoundJack.

The ambiguity is the problem. Yes, the FAQ/A Developer/A Company has said they really mean (A), but the license text, which is the legally binding part, is ambiguous. Even if a judge supports the freest reading of the license, you have to go through the time and resources to get in front of a judge.

For FOSS, this means the majority of projects that run on a scattering of donations + developer free time are dead in the water the first time someone tries to hit them with a Cease and Desist or similar.

Don't even have to read the paper to know exactly what transpired here with high confidence. The author(s) set up an experiment without a hypothesis, threw in 100 candidate variables such as 'were they exposed to blue light', 'was the roof on fire', etc etc. They calculated P-values on all 100 and with a threshold of P < 0.05, they predictably rejected the null hypothesis 5 times. Then they conveniently left out 90 or so variables that failed the test.
Attempting to escape traditional rendering pipelines with a pure compute not-rasterizer/not-quite-raytracer. It can't use any of the rasterizer or raytracing hardware on modern GPUs, but in return it gets a lot of flexibility.

Some early benefits:

1. Being free of linear transforms for projection allows it to use other projections for free, like stereographic fisheye. (You can also design the projection to map onto a VR headset's view without needing a warp shader, giving a better sampling distribution.)

2. Global acceleration structures with fast traversals and flexible intersection routines can make full resolution noise free soft shadows cheap.

3. All input and scene state is uploaded asynchronously; the GPU samples it right before rendering. Full input latency times can be as low as the monitor refresh time: https://twitter.com/RossNordby/status/1335351074069368832

I'm still trying out some permutations for the traversals (mostly different kinds of sharing traversal work) but all the prototypes are looking pretty promising.

In the long run, the plan is to push beyond hardware rasterizer limitations with high geometric density and avoid the zoo of problems associated with screenspace. Things like analytic approximations for antialiasing, transparency without endless pain, and eventually fully decoupling shading from screenspace and moving into other dynamically prefilterable spaces to open up some forms of supercheap global illumination. The end goal is high framerates, extremely high geometric density, extremely low latency, and very high image clarity (no screenspace temporal antialiasing!).

Going to be an on and off project for a least a couple of years more, but so far so good.
Latency can be radically improved with SoundJack and tweaks to router settings, combined with audio equipment that introduces as little latency as possible. (i.e., don't use cheap USB mics.)

Do all of this, and you can collaborate really well with people in the same geographic area as you. Of course you can't get around the speed of light, but you can do a lot better than the default setup or Zoom will give you.
The zoom idea sounds cool but for for you make this practical? Maybe a gesture trackpad?

Also I'm sure that for me this will end up a huuuge mess where I can no longer find anything. I'm the kind of person who fills up their desktop with icons until there's no space left. Doing this with actual open documents... The prospect is scary :)

I think you’re getting downvoted because there are plenty of us interested in political science here. Recently I’ve seen discussions of why we need civilian oversight of military, invoking Clausewitz, exploring why large transportation projects cost twice as much in the US as in peer nations, and how local zoning causes our infrastructure problems.
Fellow Australian, I even find myself wording things from the perspective that I am from the US by accident. I feel so part of the discourse thanks to technology and my line of work that I forget these aren't always my problems.
They also own the largest supercharger network, something I'm not aware of any other EV manufacturer coming close to competing against. And they are going to open it up to other cars (according to Elon's tweet).

This puts them on a roadmap to be compared to all gasoline companies.

This is a really controversial pattern for GUIs. In one camp, the GUI is really a skin over the CLI that acts like a virtual user, translating GUI inputs into underlying CLI. In the other camp, the GUI is all there is (e.g., Windows) and there is no underlying OS that can be accessed via CLI: in fact, the CLI is a "fake GUI" (win32 apps written without a Window). I can't say which is better, but it is fascinating to see that this was an "original pattern".
>First of all, the whole point of free software is that somebody somewhere is going to be making money with that software, and that's okay, regardless of contribution.

No, the point of free software is that users of the software have the freedom to use the software, redistribute the software, modify the software, and redistribute modified versions of the software. Someone making money using those abilities is incidental to the actual goal.

It all started as a research initiative backed by a Japanese government-funded Startup to study some of the biggest problems in Indian Agriculture. Then the Pandemic happened; investors walked off.

With the change in customers' needs fueled by the inability to move around quickly, we started looking more deeply at the Satellite data we had access to (Japanese JAXA and European Sentinel).

We have tweaked our offerings to some of the biggest problems our commercial farmers had. Our 4-member team is building remote capabilities to monitor a farm anywhere on earth and check its crop growth and water stress.

The push from Startup School[1] and the awesome cohort at On Deck[2] helped me, and eventually the team be on check and rapid growth that we find it hard to onboard new customers with our current resources.

>Surprised there was no mention of the fact that Israel is failing to extend the vaccination to The West Bank and Gaza
Maybe because the situation is not as clear-cut as you suggest. Your article actually does a good job of showing this.
"the Oslo Peace Accords of the 1990s between Israel and the Palestinians gave the Palestinians (the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza) responsibility for healthcare." as your own articles asserts. Israel has already declared it will help the Palestinians, but the official position is that the responsibility ultimately lies with the Palestinians themselves.
Some Palestinians officials agree:
"Dr Yasser Bozia, Palestinian Director-General for Public Health went further: "We haven't asked for any vaccine from Israel. It's our responsibility to procure and roll-out the COVID vaccine and all other vaccines. That's been the case going back years," he told Sky News."

>By denying half the population you control the vaccine, you are always gonna get better results.
Yet, even if the total Israeli population was twice what it is (and the absolute number of vaccines stayed the same), the country would be #2 in the world in the share of the population that has received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine (falling from #1 in the last few days). Learning from an efficient model is the whole point here.
I firmly believe this. It is taking the digitization of the world to the last economic layer: governance and law.

But I also believe we are very very early, and it will take maybe 30 years to develop to start massively transforming industries.

Reading, and I guess I'll take the time to explain why it works this way. Unfortunately I have to keep it at fairly high level. Long story short, we don't trust the transport mechanisms by which our customer's data gets from their wrist to our backend. As such, we securely encrypt it on the device and that encrypted payload can only be decrypted once it's on our servers. At that point it becomes available to be fetched over secure APIs.

We've considered other ways of doing this that will preserve our requirements to keep customer data private and unable to be tampered with. We will likely make it more flexible in the future, but this is the scheme that has worked since the company was founded, almost 14 years ago.

At the same time by rotating and zooming out, you could see the relationship of each folder to another, and the trees formed by these folders.
Unfortunately, I think our computers were too slow for it work very well.

In my opinion you are solving the wrong problem. I can scan a hundred resumes in no time. Once you've done it a few times, you can get an idea where the person on the resume is standing in their professional career. And that is pretty much all you can get out of a resume anyway.

Apart from some signals that tell me a candidate is interesting (e.g. interesting side projects) I for the life of me can't tell from a resume, if a developer writes good maintainable code and I doubt that AI can.

The thing that actually takes time is really the part that comes after reading the resume. Bringing people in, making appointments, interviewing, testing their quality, see if they are a fit for the company, find if they are a fit for the team.
