My buddy loves buying and selling stuff from the local newspaper. Whenever people give a low ball offer he looks them directly in the face and in a very confident manner says: "I'm accepting asking price or anything higher!"

Maybe Thiel would like Levandowski to work for Luminar?

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-24/thiel-bac...

Dumb question, if Levandowski used the (allegedly) purloined IP at a new employer, could he be charged with a new crime or would he be clear to proceed under double jeopardy?
On the first point, yep, completely misspoke, what you don't want is open intervals.

To the second point, as I said: Djikstra's argument for using 0 instead of 1 with half-open intervals is, to my taste, perfect. As I have nothing to add to it, I will simply defer.
RHEL documentation is second-to-none. It's akin to old UNIX documentation, or the pre-10 offerings from Microsoft.

As an example, I wanted to set up kerberos. Red Hat had a guide on setting up IdM, covering every step in the process, often with two alternates depending on desired final state and having an intro paragraph to choose between them, full command line docs for every command ran, steps to test this was ran correctly, and troubleshooting steps for commonly-encountered errors. In contrast, the Ubuntu docs for setting up a IdM client were a wiki, half of which was for the old version, and a detailed stackoverflow response. Server and client setups took the same amount of time; the client should have been much faster.
Oh god, you are melting! Are you okay?!
While pardon power originated from British law, the reason we kept it was what the OP referred to (see the federalist papers [1]).

When forming the government the founders didn't just blindly copy British government. There was a lot of debate over what to keep and what to omit (For example, we don't have a king. Presidents were seen as servants not as rulers).

Pardon power is mostly a direct copy of British pardon power. However, there was a reason for that beyond not getting around to reform.

It should also be noted that presidential pardon power, while very powerful, isn't unlimited. The president can only pardon federal crimes, they cannot pardon state crimes. That's an important break from British law where royalty had(?) unlimited power to pardon any crime. Particularly when pardon power was first envisioned, the founders looked towards a very small federal government. In that case, the number of federal crimes were far fewer than what we have today. That means, the presidents pardon power was pretty much only for crimes such as treason.

In other words, absolutely the founders were influenced by British government. They weren't, however, just blindly copying things. Everything went through debate.

I think you're digging in the wrong place, and focusing on the label. This shouldn't be kicking fedora down. It has a place, as does stream.

The point is that with CentOS you expect a super stable release. Red Hat replaced that with what is clearly a less stable project. And as was said before, if you used CentOS, it's probably precisely because you want something super stable with long term support. Those are not the sorts of users who'll want to use Stream.

Yes, I am aware of how it works and indeed it would be interesting to see a change in the election laws.

For all practical purposes though, people vote directly for the president (last election is the proof that even a full front effort won't sway the election outcome from the people's votes). The only practical difference is that one single vote has a different weight depending on what state you live in.

Rural areas are incredibly over-represented imo. This should be addressed more than the tiny details that don't really change the outcome.

Just imagine how different the left and right parties would be if the will of the people would be equally represented.

As someone who did basically this 7 years ago, I have to strongly disagree. Active noise cancelling is important. It doesn't matter how great the fidelity the headphones are if there's a ton of external noise and closed cans can only attenuate so much. In a perfect something like the Senheiser HD880 would be the best headphones ever but in a noisy office/plane/train/home environment the noise cancelling with lower fidelity drivers would give better total fidelity.

That being said people are probably better off spending hundreds of dollars less for something like a Sony WH-1000X or Bose QC than the AirPoxMax.

Yeah it's a convention. It's not enforced by the compiler. It is caught by several of the static code checking tools (and some linters I believe). You can ignore the convention if you want (you probably shouldn't, but you can).

You could make the case that this is a footgun, sure. I prefer to think of it as giving me the right tools to make the right choice in my specific circumstances.

Personally I really dislike Markdown, and this project does what I thought was impossible: it not only removes any & all advantages Markdown has over markup (brevity, human-readability), but it also somehow manages to make the bad things about Markdown (complex parsing, bad spec.) even worse again. Which is a truly impressive feat tbh.

Full marks for ingenuity.
Agreed. But Rocky is supposed to launch before CentOS 8 is EOL. There should be time to wait and migrate.
For those interested in understanding the security of Chrome extensions, duo introduced CRXcavator (https://crxcavator.io/) a while back, which does some risk scoring around permissions.

The problem is that it is a giant internal state.

And your class can be thousands of lines long. Of which you have to keep open, as you develop it. Which forces you to keep the entire code base in your head, thus increasing the cognitive load on developing the classes.

Of course, there may be ways to refactor it, but the tools given in most OOP languages, tends to be insufficient.
Privacy extensions can be crap too. Cutting off web-based analytics makes the telemetry from those users much more valuable.

my thinking that this "i3 on 5nm at TSMC" is just to show that nothing good comes out of it. Basically faction fight inside Intel - fabless vs. owning fabs. The owning fabs faction is much more politically stronger inside Intel and they ultimately are forced to let that experiment, and they will make sure that it will have all the obstacles. Basically it like GM's EV1 or like Sun in the 200x when Linux/x86 was basically a guerilla effort oppressed by Sparc/Solaris, and the Sparc/Solaris faction allowed Linux/x86 only into a low end Sun's market.

I had this experience too around 2015-2017, but I've noticed a big difference between 2018 and now. They've hired a large number of people whose job is primarily focused on understanding the customer's business and use case. Most of these people have empathy in my experience.

In the large enterprise migrations I've worked on the past 2 years, I haven't heard a Google employee or partner say, "you're doing it wrong." Sometimes there is a response along the lines of, "we don't recommend doing it that way for the following specific reasons. For your consideration, here are alternatives we recommend for your use case. We've filed your use case as a feature request with product."

Additionally, I've seen issues which block a migration to GCP get escalated and fixed quickly. Issues which in ~2015 might have garnered a, "you're doing it wrong" response.

I've noticed a real shift in attitude and execution. There is genuine empathy and an attempt to understand how enterprise customers run their workloads in the cloud, multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud.

Depends on what you are indexing. Time, for example, is very commonly represented as being 0-based by humans.
The 'bias' in this community is for demanding evidence, of which you have provided none. You said "I can say similar things about many of the Obama pardons" - well, if you can, do, otherwise, well, STFU.

And I'm not being facetious. It's worth comparing Obama's (or any previous president's) process for granting pardons with Trump's.

For myself I'd say the AirPods Pro (and the AirPods I had before them) justify their price many times over. Same with the watch for me but I've been on the smart watch bandwagon since the Pebble so I might not be a good example.

I avoided AirPods because "I had tried BT headphones and didn't like them" in the past. I got some for Christmas one year and found out how magic they were to use. Pop them out, put them in your ear, instant audio. That has been unmatched by any other BT headphones I had tried before.

I've never tried Beats (neither they nor the new AirPods Max interest me) so I can't speak to that. As for cables I only by Anker with the exception of the Apple Watch changer which no one (other than Apple) seems to get right.

The main benefit of their wireless headphones is the relative ease of switching devices if you're using multiple Apple devices. Use an iPhone, iPad, and Mac? They'll switch (somewhat intelligently) between devices. I'm listening to music on my computer, get a call on my phone and answer it (which I could technically also answer on the computer), it'll pause the music and switch the headphones to the phone to use with the call. When the call ends, I manually resume the music on the computer and the headphones switch back. Listening to an audiobook on my phone, and I switch to the iPad for a video it pauses the audiobook and switches the connection to the iPad. When I start up the audiobook it does the same in reverse.

The quality seems to be on par with many other wireless headphones I've used over the years, but I'm no audiophile.

Using other headphones, though, aren't that big of a hassle. But you do have to manually switch which device they're connected to (a two or three step process depending on device).
It sucks but this isn’t endemic to their product. I’ve only seen it happen in the wake of the recent Whatsapp privacy policy change.
> Edit: Aha! I think I see what happened here, HN formatting. :)

I may be in the minority here, but I wish HN supported just a bit more formatting (such as bolding/strong) than it currently does.

I also wish the current formatting was a bit more aggressive in recovering from obvious errors, for example emphasis should probably be closed at the end of a block like a paragraph, rather than making the whole rest of a comment emphasized when someone forgets to add or accidentally deletes a closing asterisk.

Which Lua has also, for strings, and it's quite convenient.

Doesn't work for tables, though, because you can actually put something at foo[-1], which can be useful.

I find that foo[#foo+1] is more common than foo[#foo] in my code, that is to say I add to an array more often than I access the last slot. Although I typically use the idiomatic table.insert(foo, bar) instead— but that's mostly because it's slightly awkward to add the +1 all the time.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to think that inserting yourself, a non state actor or intelligence asset, in between a conspiracy / murky operation of the Epstein sort might not be a great idea.

You have to be careful about the other side too, if people did take the game seriously that can cause fractures in the group that would have repercussions elsewhere.

In fact, I don't disagree with you. I stated that too, that subs are literally being taken over by either far-right but mostly far-left trolls. I specifically included far-right hijacking to take into account what happened to r/France and r/Canada.

I've seen libertarian folks being hounded out of r/conservative just as much as I've seen centrists being hounded out of r/politics. Not to mention, most comments seem like they were written by people with zero world view, and who haven't gone anywhere beyond a 100 miles from home, regardless of political leanings. Reddit general (I.e. Reddit minus the niche subs), the subs that come on Popular, is basically a diorama of the lowest possible denominator of man.

The frustrating thing for me is the whole idea of rebooting things visually when it's not based on productivity or additional features. So much of this is just a visual reboot.

I don't think I've ever worked at a company that did not have an infinite, ever-growing backlog. Still, slack time has always been plentiful, but that is not because there is nothing to do; it is because a low stress level is good for the individual and is good for the company.
The point about having them "serve decades" is to ensure that a single government period isn't enough to swap out all judges. If a new political faction comes into power they can't after a short term replace all judges with whatever the view of the season is, but only when the movement is established over long period will gain those powers with election in between, which can rebalance.

Taking again Germany as my example, since I know it best: There are 16 judges with a period of 12 years. Adding the age limit and other reasons that averages to about 2 elections per year. Thus a bit more than 4 years till a new group can take over the majority. (Now they are elected alternating by the different chambers of parliament, where one of the chambers, Bundesrat, is also slower moving in replacement ... making it hard for a short term movement to take over control and if, impact is relatively short - unless they stay in power long enough to replace all.
