Its been 10 years since that employment so I don't recall the details. We would get annual "FDA training" on how to report, document, etc. my particular employer always stressed on being accurate and doing what was right for the patient. But "over-reporting" was discouraged... I always related it to a police investigation. Don't give them any more information than asked, you never know what rabbit hole they will go down, risking rejection.

It's a clickbait headline, don't overthink it.
The news has a long history of prevaricating. “Remember the Maine.” It is only recently that folks are waking up to what Chomsky spent a lifetime explaining. The awakening is accelerating. Assange and Snowden, the naked media lying in the 2020 election, and now Wall Street manipulation is being exposed. We never had a reckoning after 2008. If this becomes an infinite runaway squeeze. Who will get bailed out?
If person A wants to get paid to do something and person B wants to do the same thing to a similar quality for free as a leisure activity, isn't it sort of expected that it will become hard for person A to make a living? Doesn't it make sense that to make a living they will have to either produce something far better than the amateur, or do the parts that amateurs don't want to do, or differentiate themselves in some other way?

It seems to me that it would be an odd society which didn't even allow people to ask questions about the relative merits of person A and person B's work, in case they found out something which would be disruptive to person A's business model.
Direct drive hub mounted motors are constrained by low rpm operation and power delivery is limited to how much brute amperage you can force through them. They're often designed with a large diameter to compensate for the low rpm issues, which increases weight.

Some bicycle-scale hub motors have built-in gear reduction, which reduces the available motor size and adds a barrier between the motor and air cooling. They're more efficient and lighter than direct drive motors, but heat retention limits constant power output.

Watt-for-watt of power output, frame mounted motors can be much smaller and lighter. They can have excellent cooling (including liquid coolant circulated to a front mounted radiator), gear reduction allows them to operate at efficient speeds, they can be designed to target only efficiency rather than compromising to match hub size, and can be scaled fairly arbitrarily.
No. No no no no no!

When an rsu vests you are taxed on the current value as income. Capital gains are completely uninvolved. This is usually done by selling some fraction of the vested shares to cover the tax (3 shares vest, you sell 1, and end up with 2 shares and some change).

Then, the vested value is your cost basis for any cap gains, which are taxes as cap gains.

But if you're paid solely in stock, your income is still $250k, and you pay income tax on $250k.
If they can do this then why can't they make Atom "fast and performant" instead of an Electron disaster?
There is another way to speed up python:

Write code in python and transpile to another language (could be rust) and then import it back into python

https://github.com/adsharma/py2many/tree/main/tests/expected

Figuring out a mapping between a subset of a compiled language and a subset of statically typed python should be possible.

The hard part is mapping standard library. I suspect something like nim might have an advantage there.

The PCIe is all on a single IO die, but internally it is organized into quadrants that can produce some NUMA effects. So it is probably worth trying out the motherboard firmware settings to expose your CPU as multiple NUMA nodes, and using the FIO options to allocate memory only on the local node, and restricting execution to the right cores.
The Rule Followers
> You can write more or less tests, you can be more or less sure that something you just wrote is actually correct.

At the risk of taking things too literally: that's quite an exaggeration. Even the most cautiously written code (short of formal verification) often turns out have serious bugs.

Linus's law (curiously apparently written by ESR) famously states that given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow. This implies that the typical initial value of 2 eyeballs is inadequate, but even Linus's law doesn't seem to go far enough. Sneaky bugs can hide for years in mature codebases.

> If you take say SOLID which sounds kind of reasonable, the Single Responsibility Principle in an OCD way can only be met by unary functions. Everything else must be doing more than "one thing".

I don't see where this is coming from. Multiplication is an operation over two operands but it's clearly 'doing one thing', to the extent that this is even meaningful.
Yes, (Duh, wouldn't you?) I've said this before so I apologize in advance for repeating myself. Whether we like it or not ubiquitous surveillance is the new order of the day.
You cannot put the technological genie back in the bottle. You can't enforce rules against using it without using it. We're stuck with what I call the "Tyranny of Mrs. Grundy"[1].

The primary result is that we should all work to make a humane tyranny (if such a thing is even possible; it sure sounds like an oxymoron, doesn't it?)

Yes, your privacy is a social fiction, but in return, we can stop almost all crime.

Here's a not-entirely-hypothetical thought experiment for you: would you allow your life to be recorded and made public if it would prevent a child from being abducted?

I'm not a particularly good person (I do my best) and I like my privacy, but I think I would have to take that bargain. If it would prevent a kid from getting kidnapped, or someone getting raped, or murdered, or even just getting hit by a hit-and-run driver, that I would agree to have my life JenniCam'd[2]. The fact is, it's already happening. E.g. your smart phone uploads your location data which is then sold off. Your smart TV sends pictures of the screen to the cloud. Your smart router listens to your conversations. Your smart electricity meter sends telemetry. Smart streetlights know where the cars are, smart cars know where the people are (a fleet of networked self-driving cars (auto-autos) is a ubiquitous surveillance system.) Etc.

Imagine all the criminals who, when Snowden dropped his bombshell, only just then realized that the NSA already had all their dirty laundry.

We've seen something similar in the Seattle area. We don't have too many names to erase here, but the school district has become more and more overtly political, injecting all manners of the progressive "social justice" agenda into school curricula and activities (for example, "ethnic studies" math: https://reason.com/2019/10/22/seattle-math-oppressive-cultur...). The people voted onto the school board who enable all this are basically unknown random people who are winning elections solely due to the degree of virtue signalling in their platform. And even though the current Seattle schools superintendent is very politically progressive in her work, she quickly went from a favorite to not-activist-enough, and is now resigning due to pressure from a very loud but very small cadre of activists (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/education/seattle-...).

Although our schools mostly don't have names tied to key American historical figures, we do have a major university named for George Washington (as is the state). BLM activists have repeatedly vandalized the George Washington statue in the middle of the University of Washington Seattle campus (typically pouring red paint all over it). Inspired by CHAZ (the "autonomous zone" later renamed to CHOP), the UW BLM group took over the statue and set up an 'art installation' (https://www.thestranger.com/slog/2020/08/14/44267722/uw-prot...) to push their skewed perspectives. The spineless university leadership largely looked the other way and remained silent through their occupation of this space, and as these statues and other buildings were repeatedly vandalized. It's also interesting seeing the alliances that build up to condone and encourage such political vandalism - for example, Real Change - a Seattle area homelessness advocacy group - came out in support of it (https://www.realchangenews.org/news/2020/09/02/deconstructin...).

The erasure of the names of key figures like Lincoln is a normalization of attacks on symbols of the country's foundations, which is just a stepping stone to attacking those principles directly. I find the role of schools (like SF schools) and universities in enabling a political "dirty war" to be grotesque. We need to return to normalcy, where these spaces should strive to be neutral and not act on the demands of fringe activists who have all the time in the world to push for such policies.
The Expert sketch is all dramatic and frustrating, I rather like the Mitchell and Webb spoon design sketch for a quieter view of the problems of designing and communicating
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu9nhExp5KI

(y'know, if you're faced with something which seems obvious, and the expert is struggling, why? And should you simply trust them and give up? Why is the extra "explanation" just the same thing repeated again and again? How difficult it is to say "I still don't understand" after several of these explanations. And then at the end it's less clear whether the request is reasonable, if you use spoons as a proxy for other things).
> Its some impressive mental gymnastics to see a broker lock out all of their retail investors (remember, you were completely free to liquidate your position) and offer almost no explanation, and blame the investors for being hasty and jumping to conclusions.

People don’t seem to realize that brokerages do this all the time to limit their risk. If you have less than $25k in a trading account for example, a brokerage is mandated by law to not allow day trading (that is entering and exiting the same position on the same day). Do you know what happens if you do? You are labeled a pattern day trader and you can only exit positions. Actually the fact that they were letting people exit trades was a big clue to me that this was risk mitigation while this collusion with citadel narrative was making the rounds.

I worked for a school district, and all the schools had numbers as well as names. The numbers were used on the district map, and for rfc1918 addressing (each school was 10.x.0.0/16 and there was a big NAT at the district office, but that was in 1998 or so).

Randomising the numbers, if there's already numbers in place would most likely be confusing.

This is QAnon/Kraken/Dominion level crankery. The MAGA types are happy to believe in voter fraud conspiracy theories with no evidence because they hate the Democratic party, and here you are doing literally the exact same thing here except replacing "Deep State" with "hedgefond managers".

People like you make fun of the QAnon-types but you're just as willing to indulge in deranged evidence-free conspiracy theorizing as long as it accommodates your ideological priors.

It comes down to the lack of resources for a platform that is rarely used for new installs. The number of machines running 32-bit FreeBSD/i386 11.x and 12.x are the same as other Tier 2 platforms, such as ARM, RISC-V, PowerPC and MIPS. AMD64 CPUs have been available since 2003.

Publicly traded stocks will inevitably end up in the hands of whoever is more optimistic about a company's potential than everybody else with money to buy. It's like gravity.

If you had a company that could somehow produce a million dollars every time a magic button is pressed, you could get immensely rich. But you could get even richer by selling that company if you found someone sufficiently convinced that they'd be able to scale that magic to two buttons. If geese that lay golden eggs were real, stock exchanges would be their dedicated killing zone.

Why would you need to reintroduce the mutated strains back to the source? They already have a plan for migrating from one host to another host; they don't need to migrate from their host back to a lab so their laboratory-bred eggs can be intentionally introduced into another host.

It's unlikely many types of exoplanets could have been detected "decades" earlier. Transit and Doppler detection methods require good seeing power and accurate intensity measurements. It takes large mirrors with good optics for good seeing power and sensitive electronics for the spectral/intensity measurements. Those two things weren't readily available until the past few decades...which surprise is when exoplanet discoveries started happening.

Hot Jupiters and CFCs are very different things. Hot Jupiters were puzzling but something that could be readily detected by existing instruments. Once discovered solar system development models were improved.

CFCs in a planet's atmosphere is something current instruments can't detect. Even if they could the number of observational candidates is limited. The only way we could detect CFCs is if some civilization was actively producing them at the time that light left the planet. So even if there's millions of CFC producing civilizations in the galaxy the odds of detecting those CFCs in candidate systems is extremely low. Even if those civilizations produced CFCs for millennia the odds are against ever seeing them. So it's pretty wasteful to use valuable telescope time for that rather than something that has a higher probability of giving some results.

It's not about solar system chauvinism or biases. There's not infinite amounts of science money or science time. No one is writing off unlikely events, it's just breathless searches for those unlikely events has a huge opportunity cost. And talking about biases, assuming technological civilizations will produce CFCs is a very Earth/Human biased assumption. CFCs were/are produced on Earth for market reasons that don't necessarily apply in any circumstances except those that worked out on Earth.

Insider trading is illegal. And I think what robinhood did should be /unless they explicitly stated they could do so in their terms and people went in with eyes wide open/.

From my partner who used to work at a fabless semiconductor:

The chipmaking process starts with code. Veralog I think is still being used.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verilog

You get information from your fab (libraries about sizes of things so you
can do layouts and simulation with very expensive software (https://www.synopsys.com) (fun exercise, try to get a price on their website...)

Often you send your design to the fab to get some samples to test back.

Wikipedia has a decent summary about how the chips are made

Bloomberg quoted “No severe allergic reactions,” to the J&J, yet my cousin-in-law is in the hospital right now with Guillain–Barré syndrome following the J&J clinical trial shot. Granted this is rare and can happen with any vaccine (I believe?), but it’s pretty strange to read about the lack of negative reactions when I personally know someone who has been affected.

NB: I’m not advocating there is anything largely wrong or unsafe about it.
The "Avoiding animation pollution" section has a few minor typos,

`transition: * 0.6s ease` won't work anyway, `*` is a selector, they're looking for a value of `all`. Omitting the transition property all together (i.e. `transition: 1s`) is what people often do but this is bad practice for the reasons they stated.

Also, for the CSS examples I believe they mean to set `.animated:hover` to `opacity: 1;` not 0.

I like the idea of using an SVG mask to make a transparent background on the jpg.
I think that in addition to allocating a queue per CPU, you need to be able to allocate a MSI(-X) vector per CPU. That shouldn't be a problem for the Samsung 980 PRO, since it supports 128 queues and 130 interrupt vectors.
> How hard is it for people to just admit that we probably have inadequate evidence to reach a solid conclusion.

Evidence indicates: extremely hard. People are extremely uncomfortable with ambiguity and uncertainty. In a variety of circumstances, ranging from the storms another commenter mentioned to your favorite political issue, people will happily make stuff up and believe it rather than accept uncertainty. From a certain perspective it's hard to fault this instinct, since true certainty is almost never possible but we still have to make decisions in finite timeframes. If you're careful, you can probably catch yourself doing the same thing.
