I will elaborate on why I think it's relevant.

The election infrastructure for much of the country has the security of swiss cheese. And this isn't some new thing created from whole cloth by Trump supporters; people have been raising concern about this for years. Back when Obama was up for election, there were news articles about how election machines could potentially be tampered with to steal the election from Obama. When it was Trump vs Hillary, some were concerned the election would be stolen from Hillary, and when Trump was elected, insinuations and outright accusations were levied that Trump stole the election through, amongst other things, election machine tampering. And then in this most recent election cycle, we have the "Kraken", et. al., which appears to have, in-part, motivated the Capitol riot.

Regardless of what you think of the of the truth of the accusations, whether in this election cycle, prior ones, or future ones, the fact that the underlying (lack-of) security lends a plausibility to such accusations is a problem unto itself. If elections have or are tampered with by malicious agents, foreign or domestic, we do not have free and fair elections, and that's a Big Problem. If demagogues can easily stir up popular sentiment that the elections are not free and fair, that's also a Big Problem. It is the lack of election security that amplifies those problems into big ones.

Sure, we can go after entities that try to tamper with elections, and we would do well educate ourselves to be able to spot demagoguery and misinformation. But we would also do quite well to go after underlying problems that make the aforementioned problems worse.
A lot (and I mean 90%+) of H1Bs are outright lying about their experience in the tech field. At least from my short time doing hiring for a position in Texas. I eventually went to our management and got them to stop listening to recruiting body shops and hire someone local.

Similar to cameras, going used and skipping fancy features can get you incredible glass for very low prices. My scope is a V 350 Wilomed which normally goes for around $400 CAD on the used market.

I’d happily pay closer to that amount for this scope. When I got it I thought I’d be getting something much worse given the price, but it’s a real lab-capable device.

If you got something considerably less powerful I bet you could spend very little and still have a ton of fun. You definitely don’t need something this powerful.

I hope you find something awesome!

dask in my opinion comes decently close to better parallel computation in Python, and being beginner friendly. It is immensely compatible with numpy and pandas, and can abstract away a lot of the parallel computation complexities which makes getting up to speed easier.

However, their scheduler really needs speed ups, and they do run into weird data handling bottlenecks in my experience.

The screen was, uh, ok, I guess.

It did things, the UI was spartan, but not confusing. Compared to the Tesla Model 3 I've test driven, the experience there seemed the same to me. Maybe a little better since the control wheel meant some things can be done without touch, and having a secondary driver display in front of me meant less looking to the side. I can't comment on it for long term use, of course. The sales person was confused why I'd want to turn it off, and didn't know if it was possible, though that means, well, nothing. I didn't explore it much, since my gut feel by this point was "no buy", and I didn't feel compelled to talk myself out of that.

I immediately see something like that and have a built in hatred of it. I picked my daily driver partially because I confirmed I could turn off (not just dim) the infotainment screen, and dim most everything else. When I drive, I want to drive, not have a screen blaring at me.

Clearly, based off car design trends, I'm in the minority here.
Marketing is not our strong suit admittedly. Customer success is our biggest vertical but we have lots of users outside it which makes messaging tricky.

I wrote a FORTH for the SuperPET (sold as a Waterloo "Micro Mainframe" here).

The 96KB were done in a rather weird way, because there were really only 32KB of contiguous address space available once you accounted for ROM, and both the 6502 and 6809 had a 64KB address space anyway. So the SuperPET had 32KB contiguous RAM in the lower half of the address space, and 64KB of paged RAM occupying a 4KB address range somewhere in the upper half of the address space. The code for the Waterloo languages typically ran in paged RAM, split into 4KB segment, and when it needed to jump from one page to another, it used some trampoline routine to switch the page and jump back.

For FORTH, I used a simpler scheme: I ran in contiguous RAM and used the paged RAM for the FORTH explicit virtual memory system, because there you only needed to guarantee access to one page at a time so it mapped onto the hardware without much sweat.

Option wheeling strategies with modest amounts of capital (50-100k) to generate 1-4K a month.

Wheeling is considered the most primitive strategy. There are others, along with your standard buying of leaps or general growth minded investments. There seems to be more to this than dumping it all in a 401k until you die.

The Mach E is as long and wide as the current Mustang, but the wheelbase of the Mach E is 10" longer (which is a lot), 9" taller (which is a lot), and between 400-1000 lbs heavier (which is a whole lot).

For perspective, dropping the wheelbase, height, and weight of current Mustang by that much puts you in a car roughly the size of a BRZ, but as tall as a first generation Miata.

Yeah, I guess we're getting a bit off track, but go into a US grocery store in one of your target markets and the prices will not look different unless you convert, and then you'll see they are more expensive.

Daycare in the big tech centers, in areas with good schools, costs MORE than Vancouver/Toronto/Montreal before converting. Since we've be here for a family our experiences with healthcare haven't been that different than Canada (normal checkups, 1 delivery in Canada 1 delivery in US), except that we've paid 5-10K per year in out of pocket + another 5K in premiums per year.

Finally - if you go gown on TN, if you have a partner that's coming with you they can't work. And it's a long and annoying slog going from TN -> H1B -> GC. Just food for thought.

Anyways, when you're talking about tier 2/3 companies (especially non-tech) you're not making 300USD+ in US either, especially in secondary markets.

As someone who moved to Bay area to 'tier 2'company, initially as in SWE but now in MLE, the big benefits are the depth of the job market: it's not hard to find a high(ish) TC gig around here, and you can easily shift to another US tech center (which doesn't seem to happen as much in Canada) and the increased savings rate of converted CAD dollars we'll use in Victoria when we return.
I agree to your points. For India's future growth opening of such markets is very crucial. But government could have just introduced corporate mandis where regulators would be there, and corporates will also be present. The regulators will plan the next season according to corporate demand. Slowly, the corporate mandis would have gotten more share and farmers would have felt safer. Nobody likes abrupt changes when they are at the receiving end of uncertainty. and that's what is happening.

Also, the world is seeing rise of social media platforms over governments where a celebrity can tweet and ask their followers to attack a building or start a protest. In such a novel volatile environment it's very important for governments to adapt and understand their population. And I also read that this change was in discussion already from a decade and also present in manifesto of the opposition party. It's a loss making system for government and the taxes we are paying are balancing that loss. As far as I can deduce, MSP has become a welfare scheme now. I wish, it would have not become the mess it is now and farmers could have also feel safer to move to open market and compete globally.
Forgive me; I again biffed the name.

I keep thinking about infamous Telegram 'war' with russian cenrosship agency, RosKomNadzor. Telegram was blocked via russian ISPs, but was never removed from Russian sections of Google Play and Apple Appstore.

We now see that Apple and Google, time after time, easily submit to the will of local governments and remove questionable apps. Yet, Telegram was NOT removed. Russian media agencies claim that RosKomNadzor asked Google&Apple to suspend the app, but the source for all media publications was always the same press-release by RKN. So it keeps me thinking: what if the world was played and all this 'blocking' scandal was just a publicity stunt to raise Telegram's profile as a service that does not give up data to authorities?

Does anyone know if we can confirm via Google & Apple that they were asked to remove Telegram from play stores (and refused), or... they weren't really asked at all?

I believe you misinterpret the article. Physicists on earth are using small timing fluctuations in the radiation arriving from multiple far-flung pulsars to try and detect gravitational waves. This is what is meant by a galaxy-sized gravitational wave detector.
The Mustang brand will carry this car through your complaints. So what if the range sucks? It's a "sports" "car"; even with an ICE they had crappy range.

Having a bike rack affixed to your car destroys your aerodynamics, so it's kinda funny that you're complaining about 15 miles when a bike rack probably strips that much from the Model Y.

AWD is great for racing, perfectly inline with the mustang brand. And again, who cares about range for a sports car.

You should be limited only by the number of fds allowed on your system / for your user(s). I believe each connection would be counted as an fd for the server side and the client side; and the listen socket is also a fd on the server side. So max_fds / 2 - 1; assuming you have no other fds open (which is pretty hard to do, but gives you a ceiling).

On FreeBSD, you can tune kern.maxfiles up to the number of physical memory pages / 4 [1], despite the nearby comments suggesting a lower limit. You may need to tune some other values as well, and have a pretty tight software stack (or a lot of swap) to average less than 16k of ram per fd.

Similar to the author of the post, I'm surprised that I haven't seen or heard much about bio-hacking your own vaccine. Seems like an interesting trend to follow, though I will be waiting for an FDA-approved vaccine myself.

I am a little worried that https://radvac.org/vaccine/ mentions that their vaccine has "the most extreme complication in some recipients of stuffy noses." I would expect a functioning vaccine to elicit an immune response. I would be more comforted if, like the mRNA vaccine, a sizeable percentage of people trying the DIY vaccine developed a short fever. Though according to them this is expected: "Intranasal delivery of chitosan-based vaccines have shown mild side effects and high levels of efficacy of both mucosal and systemic immunity, when delivered in a prime-boost regimen (in both animal models and human trials). "

Diet is one of the things that's absolutely full of bad science, because it's hard to study. So claiming HN is somehow in denial implies there's an amazing scientific consensus. (Also even if we take the best studies at face value the relative risk differences are ridiculously low between diets. [At least as far as I know.])
This is an interesting point of view...
I agree with this (other than maybe hating to see Homebrew “win”). And I’ll add:

And although I’m not arguing Homebrew is above reproach or critique, some of the criticism here seems both a little unfounded and a little bit ignorant (either willfully or because people just don’t know/remember) about the state of package managers BEFORE Homebrew. Like you, I used MacPorts/Darwinports and Fink for years before Homebrew was a thing and have immense respect for all three of those projects (even though DP merged with MP over a decade ago, my mind still sees them as separate things) and the massive role they played in my own life and development as a developer, but Homebrew didn’t just pop-up and supplant the existing options and through nefarious means.

At the time that it came to existence, despite the very good existing options, those communities and their progress had stagnated — at least from the perspective of the end user. There was a wealth of older packages, but newer stuff wasn’t there. And the death of PPC with Snow Leopard hit subsets of that community hard. It wasn’t just that Homebrew was easier to use and install (though it was, a bit), it was that it had more modern and more frequently updated packages.

I distinctly remember when Homebrew first arrived, my initial reaction was, “why do I need this, I already have MacPorts?” But then I used it and found that people were bottling up newer stuff at a much more rapid pace and the tools embraced by that community were modern and frankly, to an outsider, much more accessible. As you said, choosing GitHub over MacForge or whatever was a great choice too.

MP has had a renaissance of sorts over the years which has been amazing to see. I think having options is awesome. But Homebrew was very much filling a void for some beloved projects that had fallen behind. It’s hard to win that momentum back, once the community (including a whole generation of new users) goes to the new thing.

We’ve seen that with Mac text editors too. TextMate, to me, is still one of the best editors I’ve ever used and I would argue is one of the most influential software applications of the aughts. But as it faced all of its challenges to move to 2.0 (the feature creep, the technical challenges, the scope changes), it created a window for Sublime to come in and take the the extension community (which was really pioneered in the way that it worked by TextMate), and thus the userbase with it. And when Sublime faced similar challenges in its own troubled releases (for some of the same but also different reasons that TextMate had), we again saw momentum shift to VS Code.
It's very easy for it to become an issue if a game was written in Unity though. It tends to be really sluggish. E.g. Disco Elysium (amazing game) but the load screens were too much.
I wonder if the answer is in-between.

If Google has a way to verify correctness of an answer, which they seemingly would have to - then would it matter? Smart person or smart bot - if they are given a tough question and answer correctly Google gains confidence in the answer _(or however it works haha)_.

Because really i don't think Google cares at all about bots. They just want data. And the captcha system is an impressive system to pull training data out of intelligent beings/code.

Spachero.com

I look for them close to NAV don't like buying much out from there. The current best opportunities I see are, FPAC, TWCT, AACQ. They are priced well and should move when rumours come out. If you want one a little bit riskier but with a potentially sooner payoff, FUSE, rumoured to merge with Money Lion.

If your into options, SPACs with options create some great opportunities for Call Debit Spreads instead of having to buy commons and front the $10 redemption value.

There's also warrants which have more risk. FPAC+ and TWCTW are in my mind the best current warrants.

There is also Units! The best unit play right now I see is COOLU, its due to split soon and you will get one common and 1/3 of a warrant per unit, so buy in multiples of 3.

All of the tickers I mentioned are tech focused and backed by VC firms with a history of successful tech companies and SPACs.

There are a lot of garbage SPACs so you have to be careful.

Overall, your number one source for information should be SEC filings on Edgar. Read the documents there, research the management team, learn what the target payouts are and see who else is buying in.

SPACs are great and should last through the fall, the exchanges are looking at making direct listing much easier though and that will kill SPACs and probably be the move the pops the bubble.

The good thing about SPACs is that you have a focused management team of seasoned investors and you are investing with them and have the redemption price of $10 typically if there is a problem.

That's not at all what he is saying.
Ah, you're right. Now thinking back, I think it was how Homebrew reuse system libraries that make it a better experience than MacPorts at the time since it could cut over half of the building time (it prevent the situation where `port install sl` ended up having to build the entire gcc toolchain). This was actually why "reuse system library" were such a big deal back then. Bottle come much later than that.

"Browser monoculture problem" sounds like a good name.
For certain classes of developers (of which I'd include myself), Rust is more accessible than C++. The tooling is more modern, the APIs feature functional constructs I'm used to for other languages, and it's not like C++ doesn't have its own feature explosion. If you're an open source game project, then it's signalling what developers might be most interested in the source in the hopes that some will then contribute, when addressing a forum of primarily developers.
