This has more to do with negotiation skills. Anthony Levandowki also negotiated deal with Uber to pay him more money. He knew his value and negotiated hard, and got paid by 2 companies.

Every engineer should learn from Anthony about understanding the value and negotiating hard with companies. Companies will pay up for in demand skills.

> Bank employees are expected to have that understanding, so I'm not surprised there is no confirmation window. It's like with Linux - certain completely destructive commands have no confirmation before running, because clearly the user knows what they are doing

Well, no, it's not like that at all. There IS a confirmation window; it's just not embedded in the software. Three different people -- the flunky, his boss, and his boss's boss -- were all required to confirm the validity of the transaction before making it.
This is an incredible game idea and you should absolutely make this because I want to play it!

Each mitigation against this sort of risk event has costs.

An enterprise that enjoys all the profits of day-to-day success and no consequence of abject failure will minimize all expenses beyond those necessary to keep the lights on most of the time.

The good sought by this company is clearly profits and more likely executive bonuses, not reliability.
Financial solutions like this have proven to perform poorly with 'black swan' events. Pressure from stakeholders and people who decry 'waste' (i.e. "slack in the system") when there hasn't been one of these rare events in recent memory leads to cutting 'unnecessary' costs. After all, people have reason to be wary if a power plant builder in Ecuador argues that they should spend millions of dollars preparing for subzero temperatures. At best they're viewed as a paranoid prepper, at worst a fearmongering profiteer.

Then when one of these rare events happens, and now thousands of people are owed tons of money, either insurance pays out, or the government bails out the power company, or the power company goes bankrupt (or is forced to make cuts in other areas). In none of these outcomes has the SLA achieved its goal of ensuring that consumers have more-reliable access to power. Some of them may be richer for their suffering, but some of them are also dead.
If someone has a trademark, in software, for the word huevo... Then possibly. Microsoft had trademarks on the word "word" as well as "windows"
In this case though, the suit is winnable as i think you can prove no one is confused between UberEats and Uber heats. But honestly it isn't worth the hassle. The best solution is to change the name.
And preferably from insurance companies too.

I'm not sure. This is a reference to the law I had in mind:

It seems to imply the subscription had to be a "click" affair.

"If the subscription was started online, consumers must be able to cancel it online. No more dealing with fruitless or contentious phone calls with these businesses! One click of a button, and the service is canceled."
You can’t put solar on land while restoring native habitat. Wind power is much closer to minimal impact outside of bats and birds.
If you literally sell huevos as your business there may be a problem.

Otherwise, as the other poster says, it's just about avoiding confusion. There can be Bob's Hardware and Bob's Grocery store as separate trademarks.
Thanks, I meant heuristic. Fixed that typo above.
This is flamebait, ignoring that "nearly perfect detection" and "no detection whatsoever" are very different things.

But also, stack overflows aren't memory unsafe in modern rust. The issue search you want to find memory safety issues is: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Ao...
The audible whew from one of the crew members after maximum deceleration when the telemetry re-established was heart-rending. Years of work, and there's nothing anyone here can do eleven light-minutes away; it was either going to work or one of the thousands of things that had to happen correctly wasn't going to happen.

Everything happened correctly. :)
Ah, but that would be socialism. Sure, many other countries are doing it, and it's working quite well, but it's socialism, and we all know that socialism is bad, so this must be bad.
You can write direct SQL queries using SQLAlchemy Core without engaging the ORM layer at all. It protects you from a few of the footguns associated with raw SQL but still provides most of the power and features you would want from raw SQL. If you decide that some part of your system could use the ORM then it is easy to integrate it into your existing Core work or visa versa.
> Can you trademark a valid word?

Yes, absolutely. You can trademark almost anything (including logo colors or patterns), but the protections offered by trademark law are relatively narrow (or supposed to be).

For example, for a long time there were two major companies named Apple: the computer company making the Macinthosh, and the recording studio founded by the Beatles. Since they were operating in completely different markets (computers vs music distribution) they both were able to keep their respective trademarks; but either could have easily blocked a new company called Apple in their own market.
My physics almost stopped at Newton but I liked the article because it resonates with some thoughts I had about Zeno's arrow paradox - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno%27s_paradoxes#Arrow_parad...

What if space is discrete and time is also discrete? Then there is no paradox. It disappears.
I find the possibility that the Universe computes in `ticks` and space is discrete to be very soothing and I'm sure it has nothing to do with me liking computers :)
There is no regulated option in Texas. Required winterization is the kind of regulation which would have prevented the plants from shutting down.
I get that using hot virtual spares is much better, I also wonder at a week to write 12tb. 12tb at 200 mb/s is roughly 20 hours.

Is it the fact that you get 12tb of essentially non sequencial io mixed with random reads during the rebuild? Still 20 mb/s seems 1990s slow writing tio a mechanical HD?

Ed: ok, ok, from tfa:

> For 14 wide RAID-Z2 vdevs using 12TB spindles, rebuilds can take weeks. Resilver I/O activity is deprioritized when the system has not been idle for a minimum period. Full zpools get fragmented and require additional I/O’s to recalculate data during reslivering.

Obviously writing 12 tb at 0 mb/s will take time..
Wind capacity changes over time. While the wind turbines were producing less than their theoretical max, they were producing more than ERCOT’s own models expected.

The real issue here is that thermal plants (coal, gas, and nuclear) failed exactly as the 2011 report warned. While wind was producing more than expected, it was never going to produce enough to cover the difference as thermal plants started to shut down.

Like happiness, work ethic varies by individual overtime. With happiness, people who won the lottery and people who lost a limb were tracked. After a year (after their windfall or trajedy) each was just as happy orbsad as they were prior to the event. Some folks are happy go getters, some are slackers & whiners. The art of leadership is helping the later become the former so they can truly succeed in life (it’s not always about the explicit compensation package, but fairness helps). The leader needs to be clear about the role, deliverables and boundaries of each member of the team and use a framework (like Agile) to keep them in sync to meet spec, time & cost targets aligned with a shared vision to which all are committed. If you’re heart is not in your work, if you’re not living your dream, do yourself a favor and change leaders, projects, companies or career. Life is too short to sell your time to “work” at something for which you have no passion. Get a dream & follow it. The purpose of life is to struggle at what you love, progressing toward a worthy goal. And if being a parent is part of your dream, being a very good one. BALANCE. No one is perfect. We learn from our mistakes and move on. No regrets or sour grapes. Just loving kindness and respect for one another.
Oh thanks. They aren't critical but I was waiting on the unicode table borders without row separators and ability to change additional syntax highlight colors in the config file.

Also, I have some awkward issues when typing out statements and don't know if they have been improved. Was just hoping maybe there had been some tweaks in the area have no information on that.
> Belarus, on the other hand, opted for the cheapest "basic" package with the bare minimum and pretty much "winged" the whole construction, ignoring all foreign concerns.

Do you have a source for that claim?
> Anybody who blames Arokia Raj, his boss, or Vincent Fratta is either lazy or a fool

Both laziness and foolishness are in ample abundance, so the two men now will have to live out their lives marred in this scandal for no good reason.

Had the names been withheld the same lazy fools would run out of their attention span before they could find the names in the court papers.

That's the funny thing about psychic phenomena promoters -- you can't tell which.

I believe that Arthur Conan Doyle was sincerely duped by the photos of little girls with colored cutout drawings of fairies, as ridiculous as it seemed then and today. The lesson of that is that we (all of us!) will aggressively overlook truly massive inconsistencies in any story that we want (or have been led to want) to believe.
The Israeli claim a lot of their startup culture comes from the high degree of responsibility their (very young) conscripts get in during their mandatory military service. I can imagine that someone who's been an 18-year old tank gunner in actual tank-to-tank combat has a different outlook on acceptable levels of risk than most people.
Very important point. Included in this land, which a lot of people seem to forget about, is the roofs of buildings! This is currently a huge amount of area that just absorbs sunlight and converts a good chunk in to heat.
The only thing these journals are good for is peer review. It seems reviewers don't even get paid for that valuable work. They should just start reviewing independently of the journal.

Government-run enterprises are not fair competition since they have unfair advantages. One does not create competition by allowing enterprises which can do dumping at worst, and always have special advantages at best.

The ISP market, being usually a duopoly or monopoly, is an exception due to how broken the market is. But in most occasions it is a bad idea. I don't doubt the proposal is in bad faith, but the excuse is reasonable.
Lots of interesting stuff this time. Short list that I’ll update as I go:

Some sort of “checked C” in iBoot: https://support.apple.com/guide/security/memory-safe-iboot-i...

Data is encrypted with your security policy, so if that changes (e.g. you disable SIP) it doesn’t expose it: https://support.apple.com/guide/security/sealed-key-protecti...

> Why are you making that assumption? A device can either send its screen size to the server, or a size preference category if it wants to hide details

And what happens when I rotate my device? Or resize my window? Or switch to dark mode? Another request to the server to redraw? What happens when an unknown class of device is encountered? What happens when your assumptions about a known class of device aren’t future proof?

Look I agree that the CSS layout APIs aren’t as good as they could be. But I really don’t think making them less flexible is the solution. If anything they’re not flexible enough (for example many kinds of layout are still very difficult to achieve with dynamic content, even with grid). But what would improve the APIs in my opinion is to design them with common idioms as primitives. Grid has somewhat embraced that by allowing template areas to be named arbitrarily. But the underlying APIs are sprawling and hard to understand even with close attention to the docs/spec.
Hey thanks for the Qs. Full disclosure, I'm not a security professional, more of a "make things happen in the DNS professional" but will answer as best I can.

1) I think DOH and the relatively recently announced ODOH are good for user privacy. I have real concerns about the concentration of that data in a few browsers (though ODOH helps that), and I have real concerns that IP interests are going to begin going after DNS resolvers not just for user data, but to prevent resolution. Like, what happens when someone sues Google for resolving Pirate Bay through chrome. Does the Pirate Bay just stop existing for people in that browser?

2) I think the DNS and its institutions (ICANN, IANA, etc) are going to be around for quite a while yet. Both blockchain and the DNS are methods of maintaining global uniqueness, and while there is LOTS of clunkiness and weird legacy choices in the DNS, it's so embedded in how everything from protocols to hardware work that migrating away from it is a decades long project.

3) Our focus at the DNS Abuse Institute is going to be on Phishing, Malware, Botnets, and Pharming. The volume of phishing and malware, and how they impact individuals sure feels like it adds up to something like Solarwinds. These things cause a LOT of harm and erode trust.

4) The answer to this is long, complicated, and contextual. Most Registrars and Registries are very averse to addressing issues of content at the DNS layer, with the exception of some universally illegal things like CSAM. There is however a growing awareness that Governments aren't capable of regulating in the way that they probably should. Most Registrar terms of service are going to let them do whatever they want, and there really isn't anything in their contracts with ICANN that's going to prevent that. Registrant protections is a topic we're likely to address at the DNS Abuse Institute, but around technical abuse issues, and not transgressive content issues.
Any news about the T2 chip ending up being a way to silently implant malware in all Intel-based Macs that have it? Refunds? Replacements? Anything? Bueller?

We waste tons of energy every day on useless things. I'm not trying to argue Bitcoins energy usage vs alternatives. To me the thought provoking part is increases demand but for things that could be turned off for a while. I think vertical farming is especially interesting in that case.

Yes we want things to use less energy & be more efficient. I hope that goes without saying.

The telemetry they have up on the wall is based off a project that they have open sourced too (Open MCT), or at least it looks like it.
This is from the same political party which, apparently only when convenient, stresses the need for a smaller federal government and stronger state and local governments. The hypocrisy is mind numbing. I guess one can attenuate the hypocrisy through a parallel overarching economic philosophy whereby every kind of consumable should be delivered/created/provided by a private business entity in the face of competition. But who is to say that a local government going into business to provide something for the local community, which other private businesses have failed to do, isn't such an entity?
You mean like universal healthcare for low income people (Medicaid)? Or retirement security for low income people (Social security)? What exactly are you referring to?

I've been really happily using pgcli for the last couple years. I really like it. It has all of the upside of psql but with added benefits that don't get in the way and are configurable. If you use psql, I believe it's pretty much a drop-in replacement and worth the minimal effort to try out. I personally switched from a GUI client, since I had been missing the psql backslash commands for a while

Ah, appliances with "non-physical" interfaces.

My digital kitchen scale turns off pretty quickly after use. This is terrible, because it also doesn't remember tare (i.e. the weight of the empty container you put onto the scale prior to filling it), so when you turn it back on it zeroes on whatever's on the scale. Did not read the measurement immediately, or forgot the value? You now have to empty the content into another container and try again. Annoying if you're measuring uncooked rice. Infuriating if it's sticky, ultra-viscous fat.

My dishwasher has a "COMPLETE" light that tells the household that a washing cycle finished after the door had last been closed, a signal that the contents of the dishwasher are likely clean (unless you leave the light on after emptying, but we rarely forget). But if you close the door accidentally just once after that, the light stays off, and there is absolutely no way to put it back on without a washing cycle. I read the manual, tried various logical and illogical key combinations, nothing. Now you have to tell your household "I didn't have time yet to put all the clean stuff out but the light is off, please remember that".

My TV likes to switch automatically to its internal speakers for various reasons, which I never want to use because they are terrible in this particular TV, and switching back requires going through multiple laggy submenus. But worse, if I turn the TV on and notice it's on internal speakers again, I have to wait for it to finish booting completely before I'm allowed to navigate the laggy submenus.

To leave this rant on a more positive note, though: The digital interfaces of my coffee maker, my microwave, and my water cooker (multiple temperatures, auto-reheat, auto-shutoff) seem to do exactly what they should, under many and sometimes non-trivial circumstances, so I'm glad good UX design still exists.
Alas, every type in Teal is nil-able, so it really is a TypeScript for Lua.

The skycrane system is just SO COOL. It's also one of those things that is super easy to explain but incredibly difficult to actually construct, let alone have it work well after flying all the way to Mars.

See, you keep saying "second-hand market" when you're really referring to stolen devices.

For legitimate second-hand sales, Apple even has a page on their website to explain how to check for activation lock before buying a phone, and how to disable it before it's sold or given away: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201365

So just stop with your crap. You believe you're some kind of Robinhood or whatever, and want to be able to steal shit without consequence. Guess what, the vast majority of people don't want their shit stolen and are happy that Apple makes your "job" harder.
I just think it's a nice parallel. Drugs are experiences. Visiting Paris, or visiting a visually-inventive part of your mind while on LSD - from a certain perspective, these are the same thing.

The claim that a drug changes your brain forever is trivially true - it is literally true of strawberries. Once you've had the taste, you'll likely remember the experience of tasting it (and if you're not too young, you might remember the place and people that were there during your first bite).

For all the hysteria about the harms of drugs, we seldom hear a level-headed point of view about the possibility of them being a(nother) wonderful aspect of life.
Happy to help with this. Will take a look tomorrow.
As long as the license allowed it, I'm not seeing the issue. Sure; it's a less-then-advertised product, but the world is full of those.

If people want to drop 100$ on something that doesn't work as well as the free alternative, more power to them. People do it everyday in the real world.

I have no problem with trademark law being used against companies trying to pretend to be the big guy.

But who would think "UberCheats" is something by "Uber"?? I see no possible confusion and that's the whole point of trademark law.
"What's different in 2021 that will make it succeed now when it failed in 2014? If anything, there's less interest now, as there are viable alternatives and increased investment in tools that work with standard C."

You may be right, but many things could conceivably change.

Viable alternatives like Rust may result in C losing ground and feeling pressure to keep up.

Some huge corporation could announce a focus on security and that they will try to minimize C usage.

More people could adopt the goal of a "friendly dialect of C", and be more determined or successful.

Compiler developers could somehow step over the line -- make a compiler that makes such wild optimizations that it results in a backlash.

Or it could just be improved very gradually, with little bits of the "friendly dialect" being adopted one by one rather than all at once.

I'm not saying by any means I'm confident in anything of the sort, but things change a lot over time. Back when I was getting started, Perl was everywhere. Today pretty much nobody does big Perl projects anymore. It had a big miss with Perl 6, and that was bad enough that it got overtaken by competition. While C is much bigger and more resilient I think it's not impossible by any means for it to feel pressure to adapt.

I definitely expect a lot of resistance to change, but the world changes nonetheless.
If you want to use an SQL database with an OOP language like Python, you will end up using an ORM library, or writing one.
One suggestion I like a lot is making walls with solar panels along highways. They'd reduce sound pollution, hinders wild animals to run into the road while at the same time producing electricity in a space not used for anything else.
Which also brings up a question if indoor farms recycle their water? At the very least, I might expect the transpiration rate to be lower, lowering water use.
