Groan. I suppose the smart thing is to just ignore this and let this weird fascination and appraisal of mediocrity echo on its vehement chamber.

This is OK. Why is it lauded as impressive? I honestly have no clue. The hardware is good enough to do some normal tasks, right? So why pretend it's some kind of beast at doing at heavy computation measured in flops, when it's absolutely nothing even remotely impressive? If it's compute power in tflops is about half that of the Jackson tx2, which is also just cool because its a tiny computer... What's going on here? Is it a sunken cost fallacy thing? I get that the m1 hardware is pretty good for the battery life and the portability. If there is such a fanfare over this kind of mediocre performance... It leaves me confused. If its top end performance that is important, then, surely the hardware is pretty bad for the price, and even ignoring the price, its far down the list. So, what's going on here? Why are people this excited over something like this, if not to justify a purchase that is highly questionable?

Are they planning to use the same ships to land on Mars and on the Moon ? You'll not be able to slow down (as much) using air resistance there.
How do you know it's far cheaper? If it won't work, then what?
Why not doing both?

There are many practical reasons for exploring the universe, but IMO we human being explore because we can't help it. As technology advance the smart and fearless people will dream of using the new technologies to achieve goals previous generations can only dream of.

Colonization will happen naturally: explorers come first, set up bases, recruits will arrive later to build infrastructure. Lot of people will die. If a place isn't survivable after several tries we will move to another place and repeat. It will occur over thousand years. But I have no doubt it will.
SN12 was scrapped and SN13 and SN14 were never built, to allow for SN15, the new design, to jump the queue. SN11 is next followed by SN15 and then possibly BN1, the first booster.

Powerful Morning Process Will Change Your Life – PRE Pave with Intention
That is a threat, but the time when humans can survive away from a destroyed Earth is so long away that I don’t understand how a fail fast attitude helps.
Here's an even more terse guide to hiring your first engineering manager: Promote. From. Within.
For Enterprise SSO, the market that Okta focuses on, Azure AD is by far the biggest player. They get their foot in the door at companies with Office365, which then makes it a really easy move for companies to consolidate all SSO there. Other responses are commenting on features, but AAD is everywhere.

The only other hosted solution (other than Okta and AAD) I have ever seen at my clients is Ping. In comparison, all the other players are nowhere as nearly established.
The future and industrial organization of chess
I've never dealt with Okta support but my support issue with Auth0 was top notch.

However, their 'Rules' system for hooking into the Auth request is abstracted at the Auth0 account level rather than the individual app level. That makes it too easy to accidentally screw up all of the apps on an account.
I'm not sure if you're advocating for the "way it is" but I hope not. The way it is isn't fair and the legal system, and society in general, should realize that and improve it.
> it would be nice to find a way that people don't have to undergo this kind of indignity

I tend to agree with this, especially with Apple stores, which incidentally have the highest revenue per square foot of any retail store:

Hire good employees, treat them well, and pay them fairly.

Treating your employees like criminals* rather than partners is a recipe for resentment and hostility, as well as high hiring expenses due to turnover.

That being said, I wonder if jewelers or watch shops (or other stores selling small and valuable things) routinely search their employees' bags?

Some university libraries (which I guess also have small and valuable items) also search your bag when you leave, and it's very annoying, especially when the books already contain tags that will set sensors off if you accidentally leave with a book you haven't checked out.

> Same reason I would never shop at Walmart, or take a drug test, etc. But I recognize that some people are not in a position to say no

Yeah, I'm not going to criticize anyone for shopping at Walmart rather than more expensive stores, especially during this tough economic time.

*besides retail, I have heard that Apple corporate is also extremely paranoid, largely about leaks, even though those typically come from the supply chain rather than employees at the mother ship

It's not a website about making video games, it's documentation for software.

If it were a website about making video games, say, a blog, that would be fine. But a piss-taking rant about the evils of mobile gaming - however correct it might be - isn't appropriate for documenting how to encrypt games.

Edit, since I'm bleeding karma tonight anyway: imagine being downvoted so hard for suggesting humor isn't appropriate somewhere on a forum where humor is never considered appropriate anywhere. I swear for a community that pretends to be hard-boiled, thick-skinned and world weary some of you lot are the biggest, most easily triggered snowflakes I've ever encountered.
Security consultants / pros come in with the bias that your software is insecure. Then they strive to prove it.
If they do prove it, it is verifiable.
By any other researcher pretty quickly.
It is verifiable.

When a professional opinionator is brought in with a bias that this data / company is racist/ transphobic / not inclusive then drafts a report proving it.

It is much harder to validate it.

It cannot even be evaluated as a legal argument with references (or missing reference) to laws.

Ethics is inherently philosophical field.
From it stems understanding and ideas that may be
codified in an interpretation of them into laws.
Then those laws are tested and case law and valid
interpretations are formulated.
I want to like this, but I suspect aspects of the red flags exist in any hierarchy. You can't avoid the consequence of a command structure. If you call them a manager you're inventing hierarchies of control.

I'm probably not saying much. I liked it, it IS terse, and that IS useful. But, the red flags aren't no-go, you need to tease things out.

I'm in a NFP and was employee 22-24 and now we're 100. I know the pain of transition into states with intermediate management from 2-level. I've been in the c* role for the tiny entity, I think it doesn't deserve the c* flag actually, now, I work at a lower tier and I prefer it, because the decision logic drive isn't in me. I can't always fathom what we're directed to do, and I don't like that, but I do know some aspects of work depend on commands, not on mutual consent. So, sometimes, you wind up saying "please, tech, don't politicise this internally, do the things we need in other areas" and that winds up being told to do things, not doing it to common cause, (eg when you know a solution sucks, or is an outsource, but its a booked in signed contract you have to work to so your tech input to vary the spec or requirement was lost)

I'd argue puritanicle American parenting is responsible for the extreme rise in inceldom and younger adults engaging in less social activities with one another. Were all fed a pipe dream of getting rich and being famous. Were all to positive to be accepting of the actual realities of life and you're psuedo shunned as a negative person if you bring it up.
I basically stopped playing games around 2008 when I graduated uni. This was a time when I found other interests, didn't have time for games, and when mobile devices started taking over the world.

If nothing in my life changed, I'd have been driven from gaming anyway by IAP and micropayments.

The piece is obviously sarcastic but has some grains of truth (I personally see more than just grains...).

I think that it's important to remove any sort of misogyny, racism, and any other toxic things from technology. I just don't see how this piece has any of that.
Engine monoculture is a problem requiring deep pockets to fix. Servo was spun out but I don't think it has a single sponsor who will gut it through to market. Blaming us at Brave for not dying on this hill is deeply wrong. We don't have the funding or people to do it. You should save your ire for Mozilla, for mismanaging Firefox and Servo.

I doubt Google will mess more than they have with Chromium, with Microsoft, Samsung, and Opera (not to mention Yandex) all using it. This is the way evolutionary kernels work (see Constantine Dovrolis's work). Get over it, and stop blaming the little browsers!
A good choice, but also bakes in some stuff. You may need to term limit this, once it gets bigger. Sucks for the original occupant but how do you change culture for the better against a near-founder?

How do you move from "move fast and break things" to being more risk averse against your obligations beyond startup phase? Might need another person, to get the other outcome.

I was promoted. I failed in role. Maybe that colours my outlook.
>Still. I don't think it's realistic to expect to heat Canadian cities or produce plastics by the millions of tonnes, with just heat pumps and solar power.

The vast majority of Canadian electricity production is already zero-emissions (in excess of 80%, including nuclear generation, which delivers 60% of the energy for the largest province and 15% of the nationwide supply). 'Hydro' and 'electricity' are synonyms nationwide for a very good reason.

Natural gas is still generally used for heating, but most of the country typically sees winters too cold for heat pumps to work and insufficient volcanic activity for geothermal, so it generally makes sense to do this.

Canada has, or had, world-class nuclear engineering capabilities and a significant quantity of uranium to use; the time to put them to use is now, while the US nuclear industry is still buried under miles of red tape and misplaced anti-nuclear sentiment.
No, because the IRS is not in the business of advising taxpayers about their spending or earning, only about how to calculate the amount due based on what the taxpayers earned or spent over the previous year.

For example, if you fill out your form by hand and say that you owe X, using the single-filer rates but you're married and should have used the married-filer rates, the IRS will notice your error when they process your return and send you a refund check for the difference.

A tax advisor will advise you to possibly make a donation...if it makes sense to do so (i.e., if you itemize). Because you're specifically paying them a lot of money to minimize the amount of tax that you owe.
Now that Homebrew is up and running on Apple Silicon, I haven't found too much that doesn't work. MacPorts seems to mostly working too though at this point brew seems more up to date.

If you want to get an M1 Mac for development, I haven't found too many things that don't work and most work very well. The compile speed on even an M1 MacBook Air is incredible.
I don't see that basically ever being the case.
Representing complex numbers as 2-dim. real vectors is just one way of constructing complex numbers. It is convenient because you can draw 2-dim. vectors, and it makes complex numbers feel more tangible.

Something like the original motivation (which you might find less "arbitrary") goes like this. We know how to solve some quadratic equations like x^2 = 9: We get x = 3 and x = -3 (though it was a nontrivial thing to realize those negative solutions are there). What about x^2 = 2? We can "see" the solution should be the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are both 1, so maybe encouraged by the geometry we don't feel too bad about having solutions (+/- sqrt(2)) which are, however, not rational numbers.

(Notice that we keep "extending" our idea of "number". Well, if we didn't have feature creep no one would buy the new version.)

Since we now have negative numbers, we ask about solutions to x^2 = -1. The first response is there are "no solutions", because there are no real numbers that square to -1. Rather than give up, we decide to "extend" the real numbers to provide solutions to this equation.

The idea is actually pretty easy if you know some modular arithmetic. For instance, mod 6 arithmetic means that you take the integers and consider things that differ by multiples of 6 to be "the same". As a consequence, 17 = 5, 4 = -14, and (importantly) 6 = 0.

Thinking in the same way, to get solutions to x^2 = -1, we want x^2 + 1 = 0. That's like "6 = 0", so "x^2 + 1" should be our "modulus", but what "number system" do we "mod out of" (instead of the integers, with the integers mod 6)? Since x^2 + 1 is a real polynomial, it looks like our "base number system" should be R[x], the (ring of) polynomials with real coefficients (stuff like -17 x^3 + 1.374 x^2 - 31/42 and so on).

So we should take real polynomials, but agree that two polynomials differing by a multiple of x^2 + 1 are "the same". We conclude that the complex numbers "should be"

R[x] mod <x^2 + 1>

where the "<x^2 + 1>" means "all (polynomial) multiples of x^2 + 1".

For instance,

x^3 + 4 x + 1 = (x^3 + x) + (3 x + 1) = x(x^2 + 1) + (3 x + 1)
= 3 x + 1 (mod x^2 + 1) (the multiple of x^2 + 1 is 0)

(To agree that some things should be regarded as "the same" is to construct an equivalence relation, and the "bags" of "same things" are equivalence classes. I'm omitting the details from abstract algebra, but this construction is called "forming the quotient ring R[x]/<x^2 + 1>".)

By this construction, "3 + 4 i" appears as

3 + 4 x (mod x^2 + 1) or (3 + 4 x) + <x^2 + 1>.

In the construction of the complex numbers via 2-dim. real vectors, "3 + 4 i" appears as (3, 4).

You can also construct the complex numbers as a subring of the 2 x 2 real matrices, so "3 + 4 i" appears as

3 [1 0] + 4 [0 1]
[0 1] [-1 0] .

Notice that

[0 1]^2 = [-1 0] = - [1 0] (like i^2 = -1)
[-1 0] [0 -1] [0 1]

So those are three ways of constructing the complex numbers, and each has pros and cons. No one of them "is" the complex numbers. "The" complex numbers are really an isomorphism class of rings, and we're just giving different representatives from that class.

> This is all very basic liberalism. I'm an atheist but I will defend people's right to worship and, in doing so, I am defending my own right not to worship. It's disturbing to me to see how the basic tenets of liberal civilization have become cliche in people's minds.

The woke bullying and intimidation tactics are just too powerful at shutting down debate. It's no longer even permissible to agree on goals but disagree on the means. Disagreement is seen as evidence of bad faith and of secretly being a fascist. E.g., suppose that one values racial equality highly but thinks that defunding police is harmful to this end (see [0] for some evidence that decreased policing harms the poor). It will be extremely difficult for you to advocate this position without being constantly derailed, because people have been trained to see any kind of noncomformity as suspicious. They won't outright accuse you of racism usually, but they will say that you might be racist or that you sound similar to a secret racist. This is incredibly effective at derailing the discussion and avoiding any real debate. Even if you manage to make your points well, they will be forever tainted by the stain of the baseless accusations. You lose even if you win.

I think most people are still reasonable and still value liberal civilization, but they're either too terrified to speak out or they're isolated from what's going on and don't see a problem. Of course, by the time the problems are so widespread that everyone can see them, it may be too late to do anything about it. Control over information is the most powerful political tool one can have, and the woke left are too intoxicated with this power to heed any warnings.

Speaking from family experience, here's what actually happens: someone driving an expensive car drunk hits you. Then they pay a small bribe and get away with impunity.
There are a lot of different things that potentially can be going on. We had a couple things burn in the engine bay in the last couple test.

What you are referring to however is most likely related to access gas. Starship starts up 3 engines, and then shuts down two of them to land with 1 engine.

Both during the startup and but most shutdown, some amount of access methane escape from the engine. Since the other engine is still burning and hot, this access gas can start to burn. This is not all that concerning most of the time as long as there is not a continual leak.
Google isn't the only one doing this though. The Trade Desk and the wider programmatic industry seem to be somewhat pushing to unify around Unified ID 2.0 especially as they released it to the public. (Eg one company isn't the gatekeeper on the cookieless future for ad targeting.
Already is. Drops over say, 10 to 100k year timelines add right up.

The solution to pollution is dilution.

I say that in jest, because dilution involving radioactivity works on much longer timelines than many things do.
I think this has devolved to the point of no longer being constructive but I'll just summarize quickly the point I am making.

The M1 performance is incredibly impressive in relation to the power it takes to do it. This is relevant and meaningful to a user of this type of device and allows fantastic battery life even under heavy load which is unmatched by other devices in its class.

Yes it isn't the most performant, but it is the most efficient and it also isn't a slouch. I think that is impressive. That is all.
It would be $10.90.

$10 for the first bracket. The remaining untaxed income is $1, taxed at 90% = $0.90 tax.

But the Republican Party has spent a lot of money to make people think that the tax would be $90.90 (i.e,. a flat rate), which is why so many people are opposed to increasing the tax bracket rates...even though the actual affect is marginal to most people (even those affected).
I understand that it might be difficult for nice liberal society to accept that dogs and people differ identically.

Considering that it appears as though you’ve accepted this concept as being true, can you please give me an example of an actual category of people that you feel is analogous to a category of dog? I don’t see how that would be difficult.

I understand your desire to make the point about things that may be hard for squares to swallow, but what exactly is this truth that you’re privy to? So far this point seems a bit like gesticulating without actually committing enough to make a statement of substance.

Google Pay switched to Flutter a few months ago for their flagship mobile app, and they already achieved major gains in productivity and quality.

By unifying the codebase, the team removed feature disparity between platforms and eliminated over half a million lines of code.

Google Pay also reports that their engineers are far more efficient, with a huge reduction in technical debt and unified release processes such as security reviews and experimentation across both iOS and Android.
