A successful filibuster (in organizations where that is allowed) generally requires either UNlimited speaking time, a group of opponents (not one individual), or both. Generally it's both.

Classic filibusters aren't really possible under the current edition of Robert's Rules of Order, which include the following:

1) No one can speak at one time more than 10 minutes.
2) Anyone who has not spoken gets to speak before anyone who has already spoken.
3) No one is permitted to speak a third time to a motion.
Response to “Best ways to ask question that will be answered in a timely manner”
On the last thing, AIUI from some research (confirmed as plausible by experience with similar systems):

- The stream channels themselves are encrypted or scrambled in a way that is hard to unwind unless you have the keys (keeping non-SiriusXM radios from working)

- Each radio has two important pieces of information: a decryption key from SiriusXM and a UUID (I'd guess 64bit, as that's a pretty standard size for hardware-baked-in UUIDs. It might be 128bit instead). You can look up the UUID for your radio. Both of those things, by the way, are bog-standard now in consumer embedded systems exactly because they help prevent bootlegging.

- Channel 0 is an ID channel that constantly streams out a list of valid UUIDs and other configuration data. An un-activated radio can only tune that channel. When it sees its own ID, it enables the rest of the channels.

Quick sanity check: Assuming they have 40 million subscribers and can pass UUIDs at roughly audio rate (to make the math easy, 16-bit, 50kHz), that makes it about an hour to sync all the users. That can probably be watched by your radio in the background, so it's only an issue for initial activation.

That impinges on someone else's freedom. I'd go with something like selling 2 kidneys or contracts that result in indentured servitude.
Yes, some change in pesticide use would fit better with the time scale.

But supposing that's the source of the problem, I don't understand your focus on capitalism. In any economic system, some people are going to be trying to increase the efficiency of food production (if not, they'll all eventually starve to death). In doing so, they are going to be responding to incentives of making money, or of getting a promotion after fulfilling the goals of the five-year plan, or simply of having the inner feeling of having done a good job. I don't see why only the "making money" incentive is problematic. And indeed, the former Soviet block was notorious for terrible environmental problems.

There are many bugs emulator developers (game console ans otherwise) have faced because of undocumented or emergent properties of the original hardware. Some games required those properties to function.
> I removed comments from JSON because I saw people were using them to hold parsing directives

Java has not been destroyed, nor any other language that uses injected behavior. Ironically, applying parsing directives are basically another tool being run (similar to a linter) so I'm not sure what he's even getting at when suggesting running yet another tool. This just complicates the ecosystem and is part of what makes javascript seem so primitive in use and syntax. Features that are counterproductive for poorly considered reasons.
I have read the white papers.

I am familiar with the jargon.

The list that was provided was of abstract ideas without stating a specific market — any market.

The ethereum apps you linked to might be interesting from a technological standpoint, but they don’t really add value — they just are [banking function] or [payment function] with cryptocurrency.

The most generous example that I can come up with is that crypto makes it possible to displace PayPal and similar payment processing middlemen, but I’m not sure most people (outside of a few legal outliers) actually want those middlemen replaced. So even then, the issue isn’t that crypto is so great, it’s just that the fiat currency system is slightly inefficient while being incredibly fixable.

I guess I just don’t see the demand in the marketplace for what crypto is providing the supply for (other than as a tool for speculation... it’s really good at that).

This is a good question. Aviation has the largest market space for this motor application. The aviation certification time frames are quite laborious, but we are mitigating this by diving into some other markets in the short term.
Do you support DKIM?
Sure, over the whole run of the pandemic the case count has to be adjusted for changes in the testing regime. But in many countries the testing has been reasonably constant for many months, so the case count is a good indicator of the state of things.
I purposely didn't go. Still don't regret it. I was a fan since before Homework was released - and before they had the robot get up. When my friend told me about the Coachella show in 2006, I was admittedly pretty excited. But I checked out an early Youtube clip and thought it was sort of ... lame.

The pyramid / Close Encounters concept was amazing. But there was nothing live - nor 'alive' - about that show. Compare this to what they were doing in 1997, when they were actually remixing 'Homework' in real-time with an ingenious midi network of synths, samplers, sequencers, and drum machines - and the 2007 era just seemed to pale in comparison.

Even the late Phillipe Zdar was not into it - and told a mutual friend that 'It's just a light show'. I feel like he appreciated what I did about the audacity of that Alive 1997 era.

With all that said - I'm pretty sad to know that they're no longer doing their thing.
There's zero inconvenience barrier between my fountain pen with ink cartridges and my rollerball pen with ink refills. Writing and replacing the ink cartridges are functionally equivalent between the two. But my fountain pen has a 1mm stub nib that gives the lines some distinct width, so I use it when I want that characteristic.
Neil Peart of Rush went on a 50,000 mile motorcycle trip up and down North and South America and he said he wasn’t flagged down a single time.

I suspect it has more to do with the fact that when he wasn’t actually being (arguably) the worlds best drummer, he wasn’t in people’s face and making himself known. Running into a random dude on a motorcycle in Wyoming, or sitting in the corner of a coffee shop reading a book, most people would never think “Rockstar”.

Of course Gene Simmons, Mick Jagger or even Geddy Lee all have very distinctive faces so they are kind of screwed in that regards.

Something I rarely see asked would be: what's the maintenance story with rust?
Do you have metrics about the number of bugs compared to other languages, e.g. go, python?
When you have to add a new feature to an existing rust system, is it easier/harder/the same than with another language?
How easy is it to read old rust code? Obviously, you won't have 10 year old rust codebases, but even reading something I wrote a year ago can be difficult in, e.g. C++.
How is the title relevant to the article? The ATF is not giving out machine guns.

Dip pens are excellent (and extremely common) illustration tools.
The naive solution uses just one [], so it's reasonable to ask whether the compressed solution is faster. (Especially for the higher compression levels with even more memory accesses.)

And the relevant workload to benchmark wouldn't be just case-converting a single character, but a whole text, as would be done e.g. for constructing a case-insensitive search index.

Because most texts contain only a limited range of characters, it's entirely possible that a large lookup table works just fine because only a tiny portion of it needs to fit into the cache.
I read the fabulous "Clapton's Guitar" a few years back and I think a lot of the fun of it is that not everyone follows the economically logical rule of adjusting the prices like that.
They use explosive bolts that attach the tether to the deck of the rover. They're almost 100% fool proof. Here's a Wikipedia entry, they're called pyrotechnic fasteners and NASA uses a lot of them.

We've experimented with automated timekeeping in our team's meetings, which I guess are "agile" or at least relatively unstructured. Everyone can see how much time everyone else has been speaking, and a little unobtrusive note pops up on your screen if you've been speaking for a long time without a break.

I think it's been good: everyone makes an extra effort not to interrupt the less outgoing people when they speak. Some outgoing people on my team commented that they didn't realize how much they dominated the conversation before. Best of all, a couple meetings don't need to happen anymore because it turns out that 1-3 people did all the talking and the others were just showing up because they thought it was expected of them.
> That's an unusual claim :) Could you elaborate? How is the learning curve, especially for fresh graduates who have been trained only on languages like C, Java and Python?

One way to look at it would be that Rust forces you to conform to a specific ownership model, and makes you be explicit about resource management and how things are shared and accessed. Having to do all that can make certain patterns awkward or hard to write, especially for those new to Rust who haven't internalized what the compiler wants yet.

But on the other hand because so much is explicitly spelled out it can end up reducing the amount of things you need to consider or keep track of while reasoning about code, making it easier. Especially for code which is essentially bolting libraries together with a bit of data transformation.
The OP answers in the comments, “It's a 2+ years experience role.”

The post also says “ I wasn’t too excited until 7th January 2021 when my recruiter called me again and said “Welcome to Apple!”.”

In terms of working at Intel, the post said internship ending December 2020, and their LinkedIn profile says, “Incoming Software Engineer @Apple”.

I agree the tweet wasn’t great, but there is info in the Reddit thread to fill in the gaps from the source.

Unlike most of compiled languages Go have no-effort cross-compile for different architecture. All you need is to specify GOARCH. So what's problem with compiling different binaries?
> there’s just no benefit in this context

I'd beg to differ; having a message broker as part of the streaming pipeline allows to set up multiple consumers (e.g. Snowflake and Elasticsearch and something else). Also, depending on the settings, you can replay streams from the beginning.

That's why we see >90% of Debezium users running with Kafka or alternatives. There is a group of point-to-point users (e.g. caching use cases) mostly via Debezium engine, but it's a small minority.
I think the response time / latency to use Cassandra on the "read state" will be higher, and mind you cassandra is written in java (JVM) and has more garbage collection magic and latency than Go. From my point of view, it's not the language, it's your data store.

This kind of cavalier attitude towards half a million people dying bothers me, particularly when it’s very likely that our death totals are significantly higher than they could have been with better adherence to guidelines, better guidelines to begin with, etc. Those excess deaths won’t be so quickly forgotten by people who have lost family and friends.

Should we be pragmatic in public policy? Of course. You can’t prevent all the deaths, and we’ve got to keep individuals and businesses afloat as well as we can. But we need to go into these discussions with clear eyes about the real cost that each of those lost lives represent, both in a compassionate sense and in a practical sense (a not insignificant proportion of those dying were still working, still contributing to society, were young with many productive years ahead of them, etc.).

I really don’t think we’ll look back on this and think, “Eh, a half a million people died, oh well,” particularly not with a more historical lens, but I could definitely be mistaken.

I don't know if your fury has made you disingenuous or if that was pre-existing, but I'm basing my info from the reported efficacy rates, 63% versus 92% [1, 2]. I don't know where you got the 70% and 90% figures from or exactly what you mean.

I didn't mention any other factors one would weigh in such a decision, but a rational person would indeed take those into account, as you mention.

But outside of those factors, and any others you could think up, it would be irrational not to prefer the more effective product.

Most people (like me) are not going to get any vaccine for months, and have not had any vaccine for a year since the start of the pandemic. We've been taking precautions, as have other people, such as wearing masks and social distancing. But as the vaccines roll out and become widespread and time passes, those measures will fall away or be reduced and mostly you'll be left with the vaccine for protection.

Given that it's not hard to argue for preferring the mRNA shots.

I still don’t see any tradeoffs explained, quite the opposite is on the home page:

,,The purity of Haskell code makes it easy to fuse chains of functions together, allowing for performance benefits.’’

Having something ,,beautiful’’ and inefficient is the problem I’m writing about. The language itself is guiding people to inefficiency.

I haven’t felt this with C++, so I’m not sure what you are talking about: usually simple / pretty code runs fast there, and more complex code runs slower.

Ask HN: What's Happening with Covid in Sweden?
Sweden offered a controversial model of disease control that was debated widely throughout 2020. After a quiet summer, around the turn of the year, the JHU COVID dashboard shows deaths in Sweden more than doubling relative to their previous peak in April 2020, and diagnosed cases growing by tenfold or more.

Is Sweden's model still widely considered a success? If not, where did Sweden's disease control efforts fail? Is Sweden pursuing a modified policy now or staying the course?

So far there was a tight coupling between the number of positive tested people and the hospitalisation count. It was important to base politics on the positive test results because they are several weeks "ahead" of the hospitalisation trend. It would have been foolish to not use those weeks for necessary actions.

Now, with the vacinations, things change a bit. As soon we can show a significant reduction in hospitalisation, of course this needs to taken into respect. But with the vacinations, I would also expect the infection count to drop, as there are good indications that the vacinations reduce the infection count to drop.

I find it paywalled, but note the current Moscow bureau chief writes:

> When I started this job I asked one of our editors, “What kind of stories do you want?” And the response was: Tell us how people live in Russia. We write about Putin, politics, and will continue to, but we also want to tell stories of people. The food people eat is a core component of the human existence.

Unlike most newspapers, the NYT retained a Moscow bureau through the foreign reporting collapses of the 1970's and 1990's. But it's not large. It seems smaller than a local TV news staff.

California does have twice the population as Florida and a much, much larger economy.

It could just be that all the elderly Floridians sit at home in gated communities, while Californians are more likely to be going-in to work surrounded by a much larger, more dense population.

Could also be an effect of prevalence of multi-generational housing. Perhaps the elderly Floridians are more concentrated in gated community-type housing, and not living with extended family in a smaller living space.

I have to use GitLab. But I really quite don’t get some features like:

Multiple published html pages per job. Seems not possible: You have to have a special job name “pages” and your build artifacts have to be in a special directory “public” in order for this job to work correctly.

Also collecting test coverage reports by grepping with a regex through your build stdout feels weird.

These 2 examples leave a weird feeling - a feeling that some easily applicable features are just bolted onto GitLab and the underlying architecture is not capable of incorporating these features an a better way (multiple html websites, specialized coverage report parsers).

Also extended/sharing pipelines between multiple teams without duplicating code or having stages “leaking into teams code” feels weird.

Ampaire (among others) is already making great strides in general aviation. With significant improvements in specific energy (see QuantumScape, HyPoint) and specific power improvements (what we are working on) coming in the next few years, shorter flight routes that were previously not profitable will become profitable (300-500 mile range, > 10s of passengers)- and that’s only the first step. Maintenance cost reduction and of course fuel cost reduction create a very good business case.

> The DSU is an off-the-shelf computer-on-module (CoM) from CompuLab Ltd with an Intel Atom processor and solid-state memory. The DSU runs the Linux operating system, along with additional software to communicate with the EDLCAM sensors, perform the EDL data collection sequence, manage the data storage and compress the collected data files. The DSU uses a high-density connector to provide connectivity to the high-speed USB3, USB2, gigabit ethernet and SATA interfaces.

That's interesting, because the marxist, separatist, feminist utopias of the 1960s, which valued the collective above all else, followed this form of speaking. A stick would be passed around the group, and the person holding the stick was the only one allowed to speak until they wished to pass the stick. What would you say to them?

It's a citizens' committee making non-binding recommendations... I don't know if the entirety of their internal communication needs to be livestreamed and recorded.

The actual debate by decision-makers will be in a public council anyway, and if the recommendations don't stand on their own merits then they won't get implemented.
