Thank you! For Google Ads we use "Cloud Render", meaning we construct the GET requests on our backend and then give the final URL to the browser to execute. Prebid is indeed not supported yet, but we do support all the other tools you mentioned. We overall have about 60 supported tools at the moment and it's growing almost every day. While of course there are other tools in the market that we don't support yet - we add them the moment a customer needs them, so when we're launching with a customer we do absolutely support all of their stack, and we guarantee to add support for future tools they might want later. But apologizes if it sounds misleading - I'll pass that on to the team!
Just to clarify: Intel hasn't actually promised me a P5800X yet. But I think it's pretty likely they'll sample it for review eventually. For the P4800X, they initially offered us remote access to test in one of their servers, and later provided a server with a P4800X to keep as my new enterprise SSD testbed. Since I already have some decently powerful PCIe 4.0 machines, I'm not sure I want them to offer another rackmount server that would be too loud to make good use of in the home office.

This is very true and the main point people brought against the EU's article 17(the "upload filter") mandating a scan of all user-generated content for copyrighted material that was put in place by oh so many very well paid(and not just by the EU), conservative MEPs that have no clue about technology.

Countries are struggling hard to put this into local law right now since it has to be by July this year - and as it turns out, to the surprise of no one, it's basically impossible to do so. The worst part must be that the law is retroactive, so a lot of old content will be removed and I'm sure no one will bother putting in a counter-notice for a six year old video.

I'm very curious how small services like Peertube instances will handle this.

Something funny from an iteration of the law in Germany: You are allowed to use 128x128 images of copyrighted content for "fair use"/without running into the chance of it getting taken down automatically, so good luck making quality content :)

You know, there's actually a pretty good chance that he's not pulling this out of his ass.
It's quite irrelevant, even in Europe.

I still have to meet someone that cares (from small companies to fang / fortune 500) a part from the one doing the master.

Just because your degree is paid with your future taxes and won't be a life debt like in the US/UK, it doesn't mean that N years of your life don't have value.

Once you have a bachelor's you pass the screening "has a degree" and then it's up to your skills during the interview.
I've met several accomplished CTO / VP (in large companies) without a degree (albeit the wouldn't have qualified for joining a fang).

I decided to play it safe, to keep doors open and got a bachelor's degree in EU (for "free" aka less than 10k) while working - and I still felt it was mostly wasted time / money / stress.

> It's common to then challenge the "productivity" versus looking at whether the team is undersized or funded.

This exactly. The typical management "solution" is to identify and fire "poor performers" (thereby creating fear, mistrust, and an incentive to look for other jobs) while ordering everyone else to "work harder" for longer hours (with the implied threat that you will lose your job if you don't.)
I think that about right. Although I think this is slightly different than regular zip which is [a] -> [b] -> [(a,b)] and instead would be ([a],[b]) -> [c] or if I remember currying right [a] -> [b] -> [c].
If the police aren't willing to provide a witness with legal protection, it's their fault that people don't want to talk to them.

If I can't get a lawyer when question by a police officer, I don't answer a question.

Thanks for your assistance.

I was in the last Build Sprint, and while I didn't get as much as I would've liked done, it was fun. A question about Startup School platform itself, since I've never found a support channel: will there or is there a way to delete the companies with which you are associated? I've gone through a couple of projects as "companies", but they've unfortunately not lasted, but I don't seem to be able to delete them, and have to repurpose. Then all my graphing about how much I'm doing and how far I've got left is wonky.
Exactly. It seems that while Jobs was able to balance/direct Ive in a constructive way, Cook was not. So at least from the outside Ive started to have an outsized impact on the final product, to the detriment of the product’s final quality. It took Ive’s departure for things for things to go back to normal.
I don't know, I was going to start an auction site with the memorable name "eBay", but then someone beat me to it.

Indeed. I have recently been benching an ingestion pipeline (minor data mangling, then chuck into the db), and considered switching the exhaustive type checking off, or at least making it probabilistic. However profiling showed that less than 3% of cpu was spent on this validation, making it worth every cycle.

Tbh the bench here suggests the only non algo perf worth doing would be switching to rust with pre allocated memory for each request. By the time we are up to the scale where the sin le digit gains are worth it we'll have more than enough capability for going straight to the software end zone.
But how do you get anyone up the food chain to care? I’ve never witnessed that anywhere I’ve worked. If you took things like team surveys, code review load, meeting load, etc., and tried to make a case that changes are needed, you’ll get laughed out of the room.

The only metrics that will matter are “did you get the stuff done that we wanted?” (where “stuff we wanted” is defined vaguely and the meaning shifts to suit product leaders ever changing political landscape), “did you get it done really fast?” (where “fast” is vaguely defined according to product political circumstances and never puts any weight on engineering estimates, staffing needs, or resource limits) and “did you get it done cheaply?” (where “cheap” is defined vaguely based on various internal politics and budget turf wars as well as larger company financials - and when the money is good and no one looks too hard at this, it allows sweeping other issues under the rug, no one cares if you burnt a quarter working on the wrong problems).

Assessing effectiveness, in principle, is purely a political concept that operates from the top down.

This has been true in every company I’ve worked for or knew a colleague or friend who worked there - from tiny “lean” startups to extreme cultures like Bridgewater to every mid-sized or large tech company.
>I'm of the impression that Apple implements a recycling program for their devices to address the e-waste concern.

In the PR sense, yes. But it's disingenuous - they recycle (shred) reusable products.

2020 - Apple says it never ‘recycles’ old devices if they can still be used. Its lawsuit against a Canadian recycler suggests otherwise.

This simply doesn't make sense. When nobody is incentivized to correct stock prices downwards, you just get injustices in the opposite direction. You can look at the private markets to see what this looks like: Theranos.
They also have insane fees and require partnerships with banks to do so. Visa and Mastercard make this possible for Coinbase. Its kind of funny these crypto exchanges are supposed to decentralize our finances but end up relying on the same centralized financial institutions that brokers also use.

I can also perform trades and instantly have access to the money on my TDA account.

The onion analogy sounds accurate to me, based on random things I've read about the brain.

That is not consistent with definitions or popular understandings of the verb "censor".
In our current era, I think it's too much of a risk to use a mobile email client that isn't capable of IMAP over TLS1.2 (or ideally TLS1.3). And similar for TLS1.2 SMTP submission for outbound.

I wouldn't want to be using a 8 year old Blackberry that only support TLS1.1 to talk to my email server. All of those old crypto schemes have been specifically disabled.
To clarify - you're saying that 10 more hours of a cat dancing to techno was not at all an issue for Google to host but that a conference about media censorship was the straw that broke the camel's back?

Also, platforms are famously not accountable for what users upload - that's what makes them platforms and not editors.
Guess I just need to move into a place without walls.
Yeah, a clear indication that we need to punish even first time offenders a lot more than just pay what you should have. As it stands a business has no reason not to cheat the first time.
This post vaguely mentions risk 4 times, but doesn't once explain which risks. Which risks would this mitigate?

It's worth noting, though, that this channel is not the one which the source article describes as "the conference's channel". I wouldn't say it's impossible that Google would delete a channel for bad reasons, but it really seems like nobody in this story is super clear on what happened.

You could also call this TDD.
Can second that. I worked as part of the Home screen team at QNX one summer as a Co-op. That's the entire homescreen, all navigation, integration, accessibility, everything. Grand total? 6 developers and 3 testers.
The thing is, there might be no suffering one is "avoiding" - the business people are often sitting around drinking coffee and beer, cracking jokes, watching developers' backs.
Checked c is interesting, but I think a more fruitful avenue would be verifast[0]. Verifast is completely compatible with existing c codebases (so you can keep using your existing c compiler), and is able to verify more interesting behaviour than checked c. [1] finds that it would have prevented 5 of 50 recent CVEs in FreeBSD, whose causes include unlocked memory accesses, resource leaks, and bad reference counts.

The solution is to look at systems that have been proven to work. I brought up the Islamic Golden Age in this thread. It doesn't have the nonsense of putting a hard cap on anyone's wealth. It actually encourages people to work and gather wealth morally, and spend it correctly. The best of both worlds so to speak.
Odd, but there is plenty of precedent. Here they are putting another video into the memory hole: https://lee-phillips.org/youtube/
Yes, quite a bit of software is written around the assumption that what does not show up with a listing truly not exist, —

I heard the same story (I joined in 2004). The version I heard was that Jeff was driving cross-country NY -> Seattle and was on the phone with his lawyer about incorporation papers, and the lawyer misheard “Cadabra” as “Cadaver”. That's when Jeff knew he needed a better name.
T+0 means securities and funds change hands instantaneously (or maybe EOD) rather than on the present two-day lag. That two-day process is managed by a clearinghouse that requires members like Robinhood to put up large amounts of money, which Robinhood doesn't have in spades, for clearing and collateral. He's trying to blame that requirement for Robinhood's most recent miserable failure.
We use it basically as a public platform but it's really a private one that has deep conflicts of interest.

To me this shows the need for public platforms with open systems for distribution and moderation. Some possible approaches are out there. I hope people will support them. And if they find content they don't like, study the history of political dissent and political speech, and learn about ways of improving open moderation before dismissing open distributed platforms. Because otherwise you get what Google decides you will get.

> I got called a shill and downvoted repeatedly

To be fair, your line of comments was pretty similar to the wealth of sockpuppet a which were unleased on reddit to force GameSpot's stock down while pumping up silver. Even if you were one of the rare cases where there's a flesh and bone person expressing honest personal opinions, it's hard to spot the good apples in a shipping container of rotten apples.
Programming is concrete. Programmers have to reliably determine if their code will halt or not to make functioning software.

Mathematics is concrete and mathematicians have to reliably create new consistent axioms to expand our mathematical knowledge.

Notice that the fact you too are subject to Gödel's theorem does not entail you are a Turing machine. There is an oracle hierarchy where each level has its own halting problem and a higher level oracle. This does not cause the hierarchy to collapse. So even though humans have their own halting problem does not entail they are reducible to Turing machines.

It is a subtle point of logic, but one I see many people miss, even philosophers and computer scientists who attempt to refute oracle arguments.
Amusingly "info bash" took me to the man page until a separate bash-doc package was installed. One day I'm going to write a script to automatically install missing "-doc" packages and learn to navigate info.
SWIFT doesn't handle settlement. Settlement usually happens through a series of correspondent banking relationships.
macOS has App Folders, since the beginning when it was call OS X, and they're kinda like GoboLinux, but even better! Just copy this folder anywhere and it runs stand-alone and self contained.

But almost nothing is just a plain App Folder on macOS anymore. Starting over a decade ago, anything from Microsoft or Adobe or Google even Apple themselves, requires you to double-click run an installer that puts suspicious bits everywhere, just like on Windows. They want to auto-launch and auto-update and integrate and engage etc. And if you want to run Photoshop or Office or Chrome, what are you going to do, not let it install all its junk all over? Every regular person certainly will just let it, and all non-trivial companies will take maximum advantage. Skype and Office were automatically installing crappy Firefox extensions and stuff, so Firefox had to do some annoying complex extension-install-signing thing to try to prevent that ...

This is why Apple and Microsoft went towards sandboxed App Stores. The user won't choose less-abusively-packaged software, but even Big Software Corp can feel pressure to get its app into the store and sandboxed.

Linux distros never had this problem or needed this solution, because they re-package the software they distribute. If xscreensaver or calibra or virtualbox are programs people want to run, but their authors do annoying or dumb things, that can be patched by the distro packager, and the package manager file database will remain in quite good shape.
Let these bros serve as an example.

> Just as a sports team wins or loses together, so too should the engineering team be treated as the fundamental unit of success.

A sports team has a play book, does your team? A sports team practices together, does your team? A sports team works as a unit, does your team?

Too many times I have see engineering teams as only a team on the org chart In reality they solve tickets as individuals with only a small interaction from pull requests. Otherwise they might as well not even know each other. They are a team not as in basketball or football, but like golf where once you get to the tee, it's you and only you to get the ball in the hole.
Or in different (better?) words. Theft from employees is not illegal and carries no consequences. Employee theft from employers as compensation for having their property stolen, while being more justified on any moral basis, is illegal and can send the employee to jail.

It's theft. A person did it. Another approved it. All of them are guilty of it and should not be able to hide behind liability limitation for investors to commit crime. Membership of a criminal syndicate should not be any kind of legal defence "I gave the proceeds to the boss."

Criminal prosecution of individuals like any other criminal prosecution for theft.
The law of supply and demand doesn't require shorting in order to "correct" prices downward. The counterpoint to your Theranos example is the fact that Enron existed too. Both of them were fraudulent. Both collapsed after some number of years. One privately held, one publicly-traded and shortable. Same outcome, no?

I can't (directly) short the price of strawberries at my farmer's market, or the cost of rent in my small town, or the prices of artwork at an auction house. Price discovery seems to work reasonably well in all these venues. What is with this canard that shorting is necessary for price discovery to occur? There is no such requirement in the law of supply and demand.
the people who are sitting on unrealize gains are the ones that keep creating the threads with rocket emojis and some pseudo academic reasons for why the short squeeze hasn't happened yet.

The reality that they have created seem awfully like the ones that Trump supporters created including conspiracy involving the deep state, hedge fund colluding with journalists and pinning the blame on just a few people.

They are very good at hyping things up like they do over at r/bitcoin, absolutely refusing to believe that the market price is whatever they hype it to be (note that strong correlation of US equities and bitcoin when it shouldn't if it was like Gold, contrary to their storage of value argument.)

I think that WSB overplayed their hand and now will bring scrutiny and severe restrictions on retail margin option traders.

Not only that I think there will be new rules talking about stocks on social media, similar to how email spammers took advantage of the exact same FOMO narratives to pump up penny stocks in the early days of the internet.

Right now there is nothing that stops a group of people from purchasing large number of aged reddit accounts and using the downvote, upvotes to shape the narrative. The SEC has NO resources to fight this type of sophisticated mass social engineering and the laws are murky too.
I find that most Unix software installs via a `make install` directive, which keeps track of what files are installed where, and are then uninstalled with a `make uninstall`, if one not rely on a package manager that installs does the same internally.
Actually, (if I guessed your country right) since 2019 it is replaced by a "general public service fee", which is a tax that is earmarked for public service uses.

You might not like where your taxes go, but at least you can vote for that to change. In a company you have no such freedom unless you have the financial ability to buy stock.
reminder that managers and engineers promoted, developed, and shipped these changes at all of the companies listed in the article, knowing exactly how this change was going to affect people working in these roles. pathetic.

Well firstly, no I don't have to do any of that. And secondly, it's not a theory about a conspiracy. It's more of a speculation. Finally, I highly doubt his benevolence, that's my whole point as I said in my original post - he probably enjoys the influence a lot more than he enjoys helping people.

Speaking as someone who works for a company called "BoardGameTables.com", we really like our obvious name.

Nothing wrong with something broad. We sell more than board game tables, but everything is connected and it gets us a lot of traffic and search juice.

With SEO getting so much money and attention dumped into it, the usefulness has kind of come back around for a name like this.
This is a fallicious argument. Just because we don't allow people to engage in predatory practices, does not automatically mean that everything else is being run correctly. We don't correct one injustice with another.

For those injustices in the opposite, we need to set proper rules and hold people accountable. I mentioned several times in this thread that the current financial system is fundamentally broken, big part of which is because it heavily relies on interest, which pushes people to commit even more injustices like the example you mention.
Swift is only a communication protocol it doesn't solve the clearing problem.

The clearing problem is really at its core about avoiding to move cash and how to transfer debt between two entities that don't know (and trust) each other, as far fetched as it sounds.

When you transfer $1 to a friend of yours that is at another bank, your bank owes you one less dollar and your friend's bank owe him one more. But aginst what? The promise by your bank to pay it with a physical dollar (or some other better debt) in the future. But if you are with a small bank, your friend's bank might not trust it. So the they use a bigger bank that both trust that act as an intermediary and that lends for a very small rate as it is a 100% collateralized debt. This is the definition of clearing.
same here. actually someone is still going through all of my comments to downvote it out of spite (I mentioned an old playstation game and apparently it was not to their liking :D).
