These letters are potentially unconstitutional actions. First amendment rights can be violated by entities other than the government. As pointed out in [1], the government can't induce a company to do something that were government to do it would be illegal:

It is “axiomatic,” the Supreme Court held in Norwood v. Harrison (1973), that the government “may not induce, encourage or promote private persons to accomplish what it is constitutionally forbidden to accomplish.”

As someone who lives in NY for 10 years, I don't know how I wasn't so aware before but I've lately become acutely conscious of how we are surrounded by near constant extreme noise pollution levels. Maybe most people just exist in this the way I used to, not thinking about it, it's so normalised that people can't imagine how it could be any different.

The worst to me is that people have internalised this so far that they don't see any problem in contributing to this pollution themselves. Just a few weeks ago, someone on my block wanted to move their car at 4 am on like a Wednesday for whatever reason. Unfortunately for this person, someone else had double parked next to their car overnight (a chronically common issue in Brooklyn where I live for some reason). This neighbour somehow thought it would be perfectly reasonable to start honking constantly to alert the person who should move their car to let them out. At 4 am. When they would obviously be waking up many other people nearby that had nothing to do with the issue. In my 10 years here, that level of inconsideration was still pretty shocking to me.

There's nothing wrong with gotos in compiled code. At the end of the day, machine code is really just a bunch of gotos with other instructions in between.

The reason goto is considered bad is that it can make code hard to follow for humans. Since this is an intermediate step in compilation, that's not an issue here.

The author was intentionally careful not to "name names" but apart from occasional line noise it seems like Rust or modern C++ (in a pinch) are the sweet spots for minimising these complaints.

It makes total sense through a systems management lens.

But the things you care about when running software are different from those you have when writing the software. Good GC would be high on my list of "nice to have if we can afford some latency". And the concerns you have running code "at huge scale" are not the same as those you have at small scale...

> s-expressions also have native symbols whereas JSON has only strings

I'm not sure “native symbols” are a good thing in an interchange format. If you are serializing constructs from a language (Lisp, Erlang, Ruby) where that's a fundamental type, sure, it's convenient, but largely that’s a language implementation detail, from an interchange perspective there's not a lot of reason to distinguish symbols from (possibly format-constrained) strings. That they are immutable (in languages where strings are either wise mutable) and/or interned doesn't mean anything at the interchange level.
Thanks! We agree with you. It's about finding the right level of flexibility for the stage of your business.

From what I understand, workiva is an awesome product focused on the data preparation phase of analysis and reporting. We focus on the next part in the process - modeling, analysing and forecasting, using tools made specifically for FP&A teams

From what I understand, Golayer is a great product built on top of your existing google sheet or excel with collaboration happening around a spreadsheet. We approach things differently at Abacum, offering a native experience that scales with your business, where collaboration happens within a platform full of Abacum tables, embedded excels, supporting screenshots, new forecasts, etc.

It's not exactly what you're asking for, but there is "Racklog: Prolog-Style Logic Programming" https://docs.racket-lang.org/racklog/ which is "an embedding of Prolog-style logic programming in Racket". You could see how they added Prolog style logic functions to the Racket programming language.
That is a good observation, but one that I see very few people make.
I had that exact issue with my phone. Then I used very thin toothpicks and a needle to clean out all the lint that had gathered in the charging port. It required a lot more force than expected (broke several toothpicks), since I had compressed the lint so much by pushing the charger inside the port when trying to get the phone to start charging.

My phone has worked great ever since.

If you like your phone, I would recommend you take a look before replacing it.
70% of btc volume is tether. Apparently the dollar exit points in regulated markets are rather narrow.

So it could be rather catastrophic if either the market loses confidence in Tether or subsequent Us enforcement action shuts them down or makes Tether untouchable to various exchanges.
This is just my hunch as I work in analytics and deal with cookies a lot but both Salesforce and Atlassian appear to intentionally trade off the third party inconvenience because their products are enterprise (you have to log in for work) and they rely on upsell/cross sell across their products which they host on different top level domains. So forcing the third party cookie helps immensely with their sales and retention, and doesn't hurt usage because it's often required for work and if you need to work around it, you usually can find a way if you are so inclined.

If they had used the same domain for their products historically and just separate subdomains they wouldn't have to make this trade off, but it probably also helps with third-party ad networks/segmentation to get folks to turn it on anyways.

Thanks for taking to time to raise your concerns, these are all legitimate questions that have been raised by our customers during our sales process

Our your second point - the problem we are solving is human error and principal/agent problem, which can be addressed by management controls. We have seen the management controls fail when there varying skill and experience levels in the maitenance crew, when the operation has a transient workforce (say contractors at a harvest) or when the records are falsified. Falsification of records is principal agent - the person responsible for greasing doesn't wear the cost of downtime, labour and spares to fix it.

GreaseBoss can be used to eliminate all of these factors - customers who buy it may be a gold mine in PNG, or a potato farm in Victoria, a smelter in India. These types of operations have minmimal management controls compared to a modern developed world operation. As with everything, GreaseBoss has a sweet spot in the ecomony and it may not be where you have previously worked.

On your second point - we added a computer to a grease gun... that runs the risk of over complicating a simple tool, let alone an RFID on a zerk. We have worked really hard to make our system simple - we know our users are not going to tolerate a screen freeze, syncing errors etc - its not perfect now, but its on the trajectory. We have built our system with minmial impact to completing the current task, the only change is that you have to charge the unit at night. The only input interface is the RFID (no buttons) and the output on the screen. We want our users to pick it up and it just works.

With regards to the final comments, we have a version of the system that can be deployed locally - therefore no risk of losing data, bricking the device. The system works entirely offline, it only needs to sync once - provided the schedule never changes. And the third party can guide you around the plant, tell you how much grease and when its required, if you have a day off it can ensure the greasing is completed to the same standard as you would.

I hope this answwers your quesitons - thanks for making me work hard :)

> so anything that keeps the industry aloft is great by them.

Bingo. Tether being less than 100% backed isn't a surprise. Heck, they've admitted it publicly for over a year now - this is, however, the first time we've seen how big the gap truly is.

But the peg is still holding, which means that

1) the market had already priced in the risk of USDT being 14% rather than 100% backed, or

2) the market for USD:USDT is not rational.

I suspect a lot of this is because of enormous amounts of risk-free (to the schools) money from the government.

Also, different degrees definitely cost different prices - the cost of an MBA is far higher than the cost of a masters in history, for example.

Microservices are helpful only if the shape your teams match them. Conway's Law. Machine performance is not the main reason for them, but rather division of labor.
Interesting, I had a look and it seems like it should be limited to 80dB for the biggest motorcycles. But that's when measuring in specific conditions in a lab, so there's a more "practical" (ahem) limit that depends on the model but is always at harmful levels (>80dB) and is measured when the engine is only at 50% of its maximum power.

So we have a badly designed law which is, as you mentioned, not even enforced. Sounds like France indeed.
I fundamentally disagree with the article - sorry! I used to believe it - for many years. But as systems continue to add essential (as opposed to accidental) complexity, the only way to run production is to run production.

Why do you want to be able to run the app elsewhere? To test new features? To reduce regressions? Reasonable goals, but at the end of the day the only thing that is identical to production is production. Unless you have a real time copy of all of the data and you continually run copies of all real time production requests, it's not production. It might be the same code and a very similar infrastructure, but without the same data and load, you are going to get regressions in production. Maybe it's flaky historic data or unexpected patterns of load, but whether we like it or not, we're all already testing in production.

I'm a huge fan of unit tests, CI, and all of the other common best practices to reduce the number of bugs that are identified in production, but you also need to have the kind of tooling and processes required to minimize recovery time and to be comfortable with testing in production. Small, easily testable, quickly shipped units of work and some flavor of feature flagging so you can dark ship code, recover quickly from outages, and do things like canary roll outs to ensure the new queries don't break with the production data at scale!

> A three-dimensional representation of objects also provides the basis for learning compositional structure, i.e. how objects are composed of other objects arranged in particular ways

I found this particularly interesting. I have a young daughter and I find it fascinating how quickly and reliably she can learn an object and then recognise others in a way a computer just can’t do at all. Eg see very rough line drawing of an object, then recognise that animal in real life.

It’s also interesting the way I can explain new objects or animals based on one she knows and then have her recognise them easily. Eg a tiger is like a lion but has no mane and does have stripes.

This comes very naturally when teaching and learning and feels very uniquely ‘human’ compared to the rigidity of computer vision I’ve seen so far.
I got a function that assigned the same expression to three variables. Then it declared a void function with documentation stating "returns true on success, false otherwise".

These terms just mean different things. Very often, it's relatively easy to find a phenomenological model capable of performing quite good predictions. But, in order to find a physical model that can be broadly applied, we need to understand what is going on at a fundamental level.

At least in my field (mechanical and materials engineering), understanding means explaining in basis to well established fundamental laws, a prediction is not enough.

Agree to disagree, vote on it, and sometimes loose. Part of being in a democracy is that sometimes you dont get what you want, even when you are sure you are right.

Change can be slow, even for good ideas. If you have faith in humanity and democracy, then you believe good ideas will prevail in the end. There were US abolitionists in 1770 and the civil rights movement ended in 1970.

As someone who never did well with standardized tests, it’s frustrating to see evidence like this of how heavily they are still weighed in the college admissions process, even though it isn’t surprising.

If I were applying to universities today and had otherwise good credentials but difficulties performing on standardized tests like the SATs, I wouldn’t feel an ounce of remorse for trying to cheat in a rigged system.
Why have so many hypotheses failed when it comes to the mind? We understand quantum scale effects and measure and predict them to 17 decimals places of precision. How can we not know what is going on in the brain? We know what is going on in supercolliders when trillions of particles scatter (we only capture a tiny fraction of the data but still we know all the mechanisms available to the standard model).

Surely we can track any and every physical mechanism in the brain "accessible" to consciousness to build itself up from assuming it is physical. How can we still not take that set of physical mechanisms and build a lasting model of consciousness.

I have a personal bet that no progress will be made on consciousness in my lifetime. Maybe one of the theories we have is correct and we just can't test it correctly. I could easily be wrong. But it seems like we lack the imagination, not the technical ability, to find the answer. And not much has changed from my outside perspective in 30 years. Look, I'm genuinely puzzled by science's inability to have a working model of consciousness. I'm not asking rhetorically why we have no lasting models, I don't know what the reason could be.

To me these are even more "woo" than string theory which gets lambasted around the popular alt big-science channels.
> Pretend you think like them, and make arguments that go against that thinking.

Both sides have attacked the trustworthiness of the other. You can't convince someone of something when they think you're lying, or will lie and dissemble to get what you want, and nothing you say can be taken at face value because it's all a con to get some other goal which you claim to not want.

There has been such a concerted effort to so malign the other side that's it's less about clear communication than it is trust. It's got more in common with soldiers inpast wars being encouraged to use terms like krauts, gooks and chinks and those being used as stereotypes to explain the behavior and motivations of the other side than anything else, IMO.

Yes, precisely.
In many industries, like mining, when a piece of equipment fails a root cause analysis is performed to identify the reason for failure. Incorrect greasing is a huge contributor to this.
One of the world's largest bearing suppliers (SKF) note that over 36% of bearing failures is due to incorrect greasing "wrong lubricant, wrong quantity, wrong
lubrication interval" (source link is below)

Tracking the completion of lubrication is the only way to verify that the equipment is actually being correctly maintained.

Yes, if you draw an imaginary box around the home and the outdoor/underground condenser, they're exactly 100% efficient, but if you only consider the inside of the home and ignore that the condenser is taking in heat energy from the outside, they're more than 100% efficient.

Both of these things are true:

1. Developers can be far more productive when they can run everything locally.
2. Until you’ve deployed into and tested against production, you don’t know if your shit actually works.

In fact, they’re complementary: developers should have excellent local dev facilities and excellent facilities for running experiments in production.

I mean, that's silly — any political party would love single-party dominance.

Democrats want "more people voting" because their thesis is that most disengaged or non-voters would default Democrat. It's fine if you believe is that "more people voting is good for democracy" but it's not the reason that the Democrats are focused on getting more people ballots.
