===========

We're fighting climate change by building better apps for farmers and the agricultural economy. Our farmers are able to produce better quality crops with fewer resources and less land. if you haven't watched the new Netflix documentary Kiss the Ground you should check it out because it goes over regenerative agriculture really well and describes loosely the kinds of things we try to promote through our software.

If you want a mission you can tell your grandchildren about to literally save the world from climate change then this is your calling.

Our stack is JavaScript (React, Apollo, Node) and Python (Flask).

We're a Unicorn company:

We work on the most under-hyped sector in startups:

CNBC named us the Most Disruptive Company in the world, beating out Flexport, Airbnb, and other companies you know. We're in the top 5 2 years in a row:

And our big climate goal is to use regenerative agriculture to sequester 1 TRILLION tons of carbon from the atmosphere:

ECC does seem to be supported, per SolidRun
This is Kafka-esque in parts, and not at all what I'm accustomed to when dealing with Apple. Absolutely bizarre, and not at all consistent with other people's experiences missing Apple Card payments.

It looks like they're treating failed auto-payments dramatically differently than "normal" missed payments, and a host of other weird things too.

So, so bad.
You're missing the point of equity in the education system. There are different ways to teach different students effectively.
Second stage reusability on the Rocket Lab Neutron will be much easier than the Falcon 9 because the carbon fiber frame doesn't need a heatshield. I may be wrong on this, but I believe they can just slam the second stage into the atmosphere and bring it back without even a re-entry burn, like they already do with their first stage.

If Rocket Lab achieve second stage reusability while delivering a lot of payload to orbit it would be revolutionary. Like it will take hundreds of flights for a Starship to become as cost competitive to just a few flights of the Neutron rocket.

If I was SpaceX, I would be worried. Rocket Lab is SpaceX's most fearsome competitor.
Yeah, they've raised a whole hell of a lot of VC money and are using it to buy up market share by luring top agents away from other companies.

They also have also have a nicer tech platform and recommender system, from what I understand.
Maybe they couldn't monetize it, maybe it was losing to a competitor with no idea on how to reverse the trend.

Often you see things people think are worth billions. And when they try to capitalize on it, in the end it becomes less than worthless. Just look at how many startups Google bought just to kill the product shortly after, especially when it comes to social networking things. Maybe these managers took the right decision by saying "we are not good at that, we didn't find a way to sell it, let's kill it and invest our resources where we are good at instead of letting it become a burden". In the real world, you actually have to figure out the "???" before "profit".
Why do i always feel things like this and ipfs cone back to blockchain? I think the blockchain is a very interesting tool in a limited capacity. Orbitdb and ipfs seem to capitalize on their relationship to it.
Thank you. I've been wanting to spot some Starlink satellites for awhile, but I haven't been able to using sites that tell azimuth & elevation with a date. I like that your site shows the satellites superimposed on google street view so I know exactly where to look. I'm going to try to spot a starlink train tonight.
SHARD | PORTLAND, OR | PARTIALLY REMOTE

Shard is a scrappy, boutique web development agency based out of Oregon – we build focused, market-ready prototypes for venture-backed startups and Fortune 100 companies (JPMorgan Chase, MetLife, KPMG) alike. Last year was our best year to date and 2021 is starting off very strong.

We're looking for an opinionated engineer who doesn't like being trapped in a single codebase and enjoys being able to context-switch between projects. Tech stack doesn't matter for this role, but bonus points if you're dangerous across the whole stack.

Salary: $100-160k

The problem is that Christians are varied. For Catholics, for instance, God of Muslims and Christians is the same, and the Pope has explicitly stated so.

Some Evangelical Christians, being Protestants, have a ton of disagreement with Catholics, and disagree at this point, too.

Muslims universally agree, AFAICT, because Muhammad himself stated this explicitly (and Christ figures prominently as a prophet in Quran).

See a short analysis in [1].

Even though the OP was not correct at classifying the case as a manifestation of "cancel culture", I can see the similarity. It is in the same intolerance and unwillingness to discuss and listen in either case. The truth is known, any doubt is a vice, whoever disagrees should be shamed away. This is what I find the most dangerous part of the phenomenon.

Is that not what this is? https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-programming-guide/index....

I thought this allowed kernels to run in parallel if both kernels could fit in the open resources. It doesn't have a priority system, and I'm guessing isn't smart enough to reorder kernels to fit together better. Further Googling to be sure that they mean parallel AND concurrent didn't turn up much, but Nvidia does appear to mean both.
A professor at a Christian college claimed to be in religious solidarity with Muslims. That’s pretty much like saying that you’re attempting to further Facebook’s goals as a Google employee. Of course you get fired.
> For what it's worth, I don't think conservatives 15 years ago were morally better than today's woke progressives; rather, I think the difference is social media (notably, conservatives canceled Colin Kaepernick almost immediately after social media cancelation came into existence).

Is it just social media, or is it media? When somebody does a thing visibly enough to rile up a crowd... the crowd gets riled. What's new here? The words "cancel culture".
Right, that's why I said "very likely" instead of "proven". However, at the point it's pretty clear the tech companies are all competing for pentagon contracts (e.g. Project Maven, JEDI, etc) so the 2013 information has significant potential to be dated.

Thinking America's largest monopolies and America's government and foreign policy are at odds over more than superficial things is probably not an accurate view of the world. America uses our corporations to advance nebulously defined "national security interests" and corporations use the government to get rich(er).
I did not read this, But a mate I used to work with was getting harassed by debt collectors, He looked up the DNS Records and the domain registrant email was set to another domain. admin@suchandsuch.com, Well turns out suchandsuch.com had expired.

He bought the domain, set up the email admin@suchandsuch.com and reset the debt collectors main domain by requesting a transfer to another domain provider, it then sent an email to the domain record holder and he took over their domain.

Never use the same domain or another domain for registrant emails and buy privacy. use a gmail or your isp provided email.
Biden administration puts a price on carbon
>Wait, don't we want to penalize customers without solar panels?

Why do you say that? If the government wants to subsidize solar power, isn't it better to do it in a way that is safer, less expensive and the benefits are shared by all consumers?
I am interested to read what excuses the Apple fan boys come up with for this.
Passing unique_ptr by move works out to be surprisingly expensive, so one doesn't, where that matters. (It is usually a mistake to have unique_ptr visible in an interface at all, but passing a pimpl type, implemented with unique_ptr, by move costs exactly the same.)

And of course no one who cares for their reputation is seen using shared_ptr.
Don Delillo’s Underworld is an amazing novel with some garbology themes.
Replace Xiaomi with Google and article will still be valid.
And I agree that Zucc's been an incredible CEO. But for every Facebook, there's about 50 companies that were run into the ground and pilfered by management on the way down because of inadequate corporate governance.
I honestly disagree with every possible interpretation of this article. The amount of work you can do in a unit of time is highly variable: for example, going into a flow state can increase my output by multiples. And your day-to-day cognitive performance can vary enormously as well (I used to play chess for hours every day for example, and some days I was just _better_ than other days. Consistently. In fact, I could even peg it to specific days of the week.) I rarely drink coffee, but when I do it can be like going into another state of consciousness.

There is a productivity curve where if I press too hard or for too long my net output and decision making eventually gets worse, but it's a curve, not a flat line.
Very strange, and shows a rare frayed edge of Apple. Very bad customer support. However it’s hard to fault them for disabling your account, since from their end it looked like you stole money from them.
Cuomo Suffers 3rd Sexual Assault Accusation in the Past Two Weeks
I found Apple to be super fantastic as long as you don't get them to go off script, and then their support is useless. If you have a problem that fits into the general concerns like shipping, returns, repairs? It's a really great experience. In person? It's a great experience. Remotely? Well it really depends what you are asking.

Their "trade in" program is run by a third party who seem to have just given up at some point and stopped doing their job, and Apple itself doesn't seem to have any avenue for responding to that. If you call you get no option for general assistance, if you intentionally call the wrong one to simply speak to somebody you get stonewalled looking for order numbers that don't exist, or whatever. I eventually just gave up and didn't bother trading in my old MacBook, after they lied for months that they were sending me return shipping materials and that the order was mysteriously canceled, or there was nobody available to take the call and to try tomorrow, etc.
All mobile phone manufacturers are spying on you does not automatically follow from the fact that Xiaomi browsers are spyware.
I don't think Justin Trudeau is left. He wouldn't be the leader of a centrist party otherwise. The Canadian Liberals go right (eg: Martin/Chrétien in the 90s [1]) and then left (Cannabis legalization in 2012 [3], social positions in 2015 [2]) when it suits them. If he was left-wing his fiscal policies would be a lot closer to the NDP.

Why not?

For you, it seems that "tremendous" means best in class. Where is the cutoff, 1st, 3rd, top 10?

For others, being in the top 10 percent of 195+ countries is quite significant. For the average person in the rest of the world, being in the US would provide a significant and meaningful increase in their economic mobility.
> Continued antitrust enforcement. Nobody should ever have approved those mergers. We can learn from our mistakes.

That’s a nice thought but clearly doesn’t work in practice. I could be wrong though, are there any examples you can cite of monopolies being broken and staying that way in the USA?

> Why would they want to do that once they have separate owners?

They’re already familiar with each other.

> How does this solve the monopoly problem at all? It has nothing to do with taxation.

You don’t think a unavoidable tax that goes into smaller companies won’t hurt monopolies?
I don't see how people consider this and IPFS decentralized. You still need peers to subscribe and pin, and services like Pinata aren't cheap and still centralized. Is there an example of websites that would continue to run indefinitely if there wasn't a centralization of services with IPFS? I just don't think it is likely unless you start distributing your app that bundles IPFS, so that your users end up hosting it for you. However, if someone new tries it out and only one of your users has your app open you better hope it is being cached by Cloudflare.
> (professor suspended for saying a Chinese word mistaken for the epithet, in context that clearly identified what he was saying, on video)

It's even more ironic: he was teaching a class on international communication, and used it as an example of how you shouldn't jump to judgment of people from other cultures/languages. Cue his students doing just that.
I couldn't agree more if we look at recent history in the US, especially very recent history. It's not problem free but feels like it's better suited to representing the real world.

The article just very briefly mentions other countries that have this sort of system but I can say from experience that it's both good and bad. The example I've seen being Germany, where when I was there, there were at least 3 parties making up the "Bundestag". The SPD, CDU/CSU and FDP. From 1990 onwards, the Green party was added on. I haven't been in Germany for some time now but I'm still following it and now you have SPD, Linke ("the left party"), Green party, CDU/CSU, FDP, AfD and you even have some single seat from other parties/independents.

You basically have to create a coalition to get anything done, which means you _have_ to compromise (which historically meant that either the SPD had enough seats or CDU/CSU and FDP were in a coalition - with the added weirdness of the federal states' sometimes having a coalition of parties that on the federal level would 'never' happen :)).

That's a good thing (as long as it doesn't result in complete stagnation and infighting because you can't agree on a compromise).
This is lockdown-related hunger. Hundreds of millions of healthy young people at low risk from Covid had their basic liberties infringed to slow the spread of the virus, and the result is millions of young people dying due to poverty.
I'm not canceling you for saying stupid shit, your employers are canceling you because they assume that if you insinuate the country would be better if I were dead or deported, I might react with hostility.

Since they've done a lot of focus groups on this kind of thing, I'd trust their judgement.
> A professor at a Christian college claimed to be in religious solidarity with Muslims.

I'm not sure if the greater theological offense was the solidarity with Muslims or quoting the Pope in support of it (Wheaton had only a few years before fired a professor for converting to Catholicism; “Christian” isn't a label of a monolithic group in practice.)
I think this is mostly true and there are plenty of qualifiers. Stress is an excellent example. But in general, you can still apply various forms of leverage and get more results.

eg your ability to calculate in your head is usually limited but if you leverage the use of a calculator you can operate faster.

Also you can practice various aspects and become more efficient. So learning a technique for calculating faster can actually make you faster. Or you can memorise the Times Table and just lookup the result rather than calculating it.

The actual exploration of options can be accelerated as well. You need to be able to collapse the complexity of the evaluation down and trust this process being accurate. This is not trivial.

Even the impact of stress can be reduced by changing the "stress floor" level of what you've encountered. You can place yourself in multiple stressful situations and practice to get better.
For the sake of discussion, suppose your rules existed, I foresee dumb loopholes like creating a competing product (a la Google subsidizing Firefox) for the sole purpose of avoiding a now codified definition of monopoly. With regards to tariffs, we see this exact dumb thing happening with cameras only being able to record 55 seconds of video because if they record 1 minute then they are considered video cameras. Because the companies know their customers, inevitably they will just outcast the least productive users to the shoddier service.
I don't think "there is exactly one way to do it" is actually a good guiding principle.

Forcing it down to an overly simplistic setting, if I need to add 5 to a number I can increment 5 times, or add 2 and then 3, or just add 5. Which of those options should we remove?

Perhaps we mean, instead, that there should be one best way, but (sliding into metaphor, I hope) what about when we have a language without 5 and we are considering adding it? Is the use case already handled by 2+3? How are we to decide?
The Christian faith is based on the fundamental fact that Jesus is God in human flesh. I worship Jesus. Muslims do not. No Muslim will claim to worship the same God as I do.
You're right. We should kick that kid out on the street, sell all his belongings, and write a check to ever american for a fat 10 cents. Problem solved.

> So you are only deserving of a life free of poverty (even if you're lazy) if your parents happened to be rich?

This is such a twisting of my words I am not even sure how to respond. Are you saying the only way out of poverty is to steal everything you want from the rich?
Mash the 'show' button at the very top of this page...
She was fired for saying that Muslims and Christians worship the same god, which is literally heresy according to many Christians: https://www.npr.org/2015/12/20/460480698/do-christians-and-m.... Jews and Muslims reject the trinity, which is an essential part of the confession of faith in most branches of Christianity. So it’s quite loaded to say that the Jewish and Muslim god is “the same” as the Christian god.
This looks great. I hate Linux desktop and Windows server, so WSL has been a blessing for me.
I think you're exactly correct.
The author's conclusion:

I have argued that C’s enduring popularity is wrongly ascribed to performance concerns; in reality one large component of it (the “application” component) owes to decades-old gaps in migration and integration support among proposed alternatives; another large component of it (the “systems”component) owes to a fundamental and distinctive property of the language which I have called its communicativity, and for which neither migration nor integration can be sufficient. I have also argued that the problems symptomatic of C code today are wrongly ascribed to the C language; in reality they relate to its implementations, and where for each problem the research literature presents compelling alternative implementation approaches. From this, many of the orthodox attitudes around C are ill-founded. There is no particular need to rewrite existing C code, provided the same benefit can be obtained more cheaply by alternative implementations of C. Nor is there a need to abandon C as a legitimate choice of language for new code, since C’s distinctive features offer unique value in some cases. The equivocation of “managed” with “safe”implementations, and indeed the confusion of languages with their implementations, have obscured these points. Rather than abandoning C and simply embracing new languages implemented along established, contemporary lines, I believe a more feasible path to our desired ends lies in both better and materially different implementations of both C and non-C languages alike. These implementations must subscribe to different principles, emphasising heterarchy, plurality and co-existence, placing higher premium on the concerns of (in application code) migration and interoperation, and (in the case of systems code) communicativity. My concrete suggestions—in particular, to implement a“safe C”, and to focus attention on communicativity issues in this and any proposed “better C”—remain unproven, and perhaps serve better as the beginning of a thought process than as a certain destination. C is far from sacred, and I look forward to its replacements—but they must not forget the importance of communicating with aliens.
PRISM should be enough proof, doubt we will see anymore. What's all this concern about the Annunaki?
'Free speech' means nothing at all in the private sector - but 'supporting free speech' most definitely does. If a company opts to not support free speech (which is an ideal that I believe most Americans would say should be supported) by enacting censorship rules beyond what is illegal, they shouldn't be surprised when people that believe in that ideal look on them less favorably.

This is pretty sweet. I feel like the only thing is that Windows Hello, and other fingerprint/face scanning tech is pretty slow compared to typing in a password, so doubt i'll be using it anytime soon. This is still very interesting from a technical pov.

I know nothing of PAM, but could it be used with something like LDAP? or ActiveDirectory?
Out of the question? No. As convenient as running one command on a desktop computer? Also no.

> the ideal situation in terms of simple, decentralized file hosting solution

Not sure what you mean by "decentralized" if you are in fact hosting it yourself.

> What are the downsides of this approach?

Well, for the casual person it has the obvious downside that you have to have your own VPS. Most people don't have those. Even if you do, IPFS has a couple of advantages: you can host images anonymously, and anyone anywhere in the world can "pin" the image to make sure it stays live. If you're using a server and you forget to pay DO your $5 one month, all your images go poof into the ether.
