What type of product and where overseas? Is this a a North American or European product looking to be manufactured in Asia? Or is this designed in Asia and wanting to be manufactured in North America or Europe?

My experience is from North America manufacturing in China.

1. You get what you pay for. If you don’t want to pay for quality, don’t expect quality. If you squeeze the manufacturer, they will cut corners.

2. I only have experience with low cost Chinese manufacturing, so this applies to that.
- You need to get the entire process proved out and dialed in before sending overseas. In my experience, they were either not able (or we weren’t paying enough) to go from drawing + 3D model to a fully operational production process. We had to make all tooling and checking fixtures and ship them overseas for production.
- get first part inspection documents. Receive those exact parts and repeat that first part inspection on your side
- you need to specify inspection plans, which should include at a minimum: what to check, how to check, with what measuring device, inspection frequency
- if you require specific machining or processes, that needs to be specified. Don’t leave it open to the manufacturer
- you need to get good documentation from them and make sure they aren’t dependent on one person... after one lunar new year we received new parts that weren’t up to specification. It turns out the one person who knew what paint to use didn’t return from vacation
- I would specify some sort of acceptance sampling plan to either accept or reject the entire lot

3. If your product needs to adhere to some quality standard (e.g., ISO, IATF, etc.), make sure they have the certificates and can prove documentation.

4. Don’t be surprised if your product ends up on eBay or some other site. If you’ve heavily invested in development and it’s novel, consider getting it manufactured locally where you can maintain a direct relationship.

5. Have someone that speaks that language fluently and knows the local culture and customs working with you.

6. If you don’t have manufacturing or quality experience, find someone that does
I think what you should take away from this is that containers are not the abstraction you want for running mutually distrusting workloads, and you can continue to use separate VMs or even separate physical networks of bare metal servers. Some people will geek out about this quixotic undertaking; you don’t have to be one of them.

Linux is not very good at security boundaries anyway, just run one thing in each VM and don’t leave anything else there to privilege-escalate into.
Wait, overwatch works on linux? This is fantastic, i remember trying it a while back with pretty bad perf results
I wonder if we're happier when we're lied to. Reality kind of sucks
>Loves Linux but blocks Linux by user agent. Nice.

Reminds me of Office 365. If your UA has Windows in it, all of a sudden they offer SSO authentication as if Linux can't be set up for it.
> The plan to fix this is to make self-referentiality a first-class concept in the language, as a principled exception to the usual &mut uniqueness invariant that preserves memory safety while properly encoding the aliasing guarantees.

Are there issues I can subscribe to or RFCs for this?
Fortran's the only obstacle to purchasing M1 for me currently.

A while ago I compared the execution time for some simple matrix arithmetic in rust, fortran (2003 I think), and python/numpy. (as an aside: as far as science is concerned, python without numpy doesn't exist.) Execution times were fairly similar.

What I didn't mention was the pretty-much-optimal fortran and python solutions took maybe a minute to code.

The optimal Rust solution took over a day.

I'll also note intent(in), intent(out) fulfil similar uses to '&' and '&mut'.
I read "eradicated." But sure, let's educate them first.
I have NVidia RTX 2080 and can play almost all AAA games just like AMD GPUs owners. Which drivers are you referring to?
I've heard Bethesda is working feverishly to remove all options from their games and just leave an "interact" button.

> There is no practical way to prevent scale depositing other than using distilled water

This isn’t exactly true, scale builds up because of certain minerals, not just any mineral, so filtering for those achieves similar results. For example, soft water also doesn’t build up scale. Anecdotally I make tea and coffee every day and use Brita filtered water and don’t get scale build up in my kettle, whereas using tap water builds scale in only a couple uses.

"original" and "fork" have no meaning inside the ETH universe. These terms are used in the outside social milieu.
A key element of this long-term consistent PR is timing. Time makes old criminal idiocy pale, and there'll always be another clown.
I'm not necessarily an NFT proponent, but to be fair, you can also duplicate art in the real world. Forgeries and replicas of the Mona Lisa and other famous art exist, and are sometimes so good they fool museum curators for years. Yet, they're almost worthless compared to the original. Why?
I'm not judging, it's the author's choice.

As I said, big up for the idea. Cheers.

I also work in a bank and I am a Db2 z/os database administrator with 13yr experience. We did a little exercise a month back involving all mainframe smes(sysprogs/storage/Db2/cics/mq). Numbers are like, mainframe costs only 8%(including people and licenses), carbon foot print is 3% in data centre and 85% of all Tier 1 applications run on mainframe. Offhost side of people who saw stats were amazed.

Two years back Db2 has become strategical database previously it was oracle in the decision tree. Security and up time has been solid.

Just seeing the trend at workplace on work related to mainframe, I would say it's picking up. Basically we know the work(projects), so we are focussed on onboarding process for newer applications as we are more and more working with people who have no idea about mainframe or who were once on the bandwagon saying mainframe is dying once.

Interns are trained internally after college. I would say that's the best training.... At first, they hate it. It's all black and green text, but slowly they pick up.

Alternatively, one could get rid of the memory used by optimizers entirely by switching to vanilla SGD.

I haven’t tried this on transformers and maybe that’s what breaks down here but in “classic” supervised settings I’ve found SGD with schedule tuning just as fast as Adam.
So far I only ever hear about clubhouse on hn. Though I'm not really on social media much. I just checked the about page and it actually sounds like a neat idea - voice based chat forums, where new people have to listen for a bit and be given permission to talk from those already talking. Doesn't sound like it's about gaining likes or showing off or inanely talking about yourself. I don't know if it's any good or if the world needs yet another social media platform but it sounds more suited to genuine conversation than quite a few of the current big social media services.

I came here to learn about the current state of the trans community and learned nothing because of a lot of dissenting information in either direction. This is my attempt to consolidate and learn from facts, feel free to correct things or add to this in the thread.

- A number of folks invoke what they've heard people who call themselves activists say only to get a response from someone saying that's not a real activist. On one hand this is akin to no true Scotsman and on the other I can see the situation that invokes, "that doesn't represent me" as difficult to process. It might be helpful if HN users who are knowledgeable can educate the non-educated on who actual trans activists are so that when the non-educated are hearing a reactionary voice they are able to identify that to themselves and others.

- Russia has a very wide law that patently shuts down any conversation about trans-people and adjacently gay folks as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_gay_propaganda_law

- Some non-zero amount of trans folk do not approve of the Tavistock Center in the NHS (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/calls-to-end-transgender-...). Earlier/easier access to hormone blockers seems to be one complaint, but ill-preparing patients for "immediate and long term consequences" seems to be another which a high court recently ruled on. (https://www.itv.com/news/london/2021-01-20/tavistock-centre-...)

- Hormone blocking seems to be the main course of treatment in children while in therapy (that last part also seems very key). The intent behind this is that a child and their parents can make the choice to transition without having to undo the affects of puberty in the future which are costly and painful. The Mayo Clinic says that the only long term affects with puberty blockers has to do with bone density and fertility. (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dyspho...)

- Some non-zero amount of kids struggle with gender identity because they're struggling with sexuality in societies that openly struggle with accepting more diverse sexuality (being gay). This points to a need for continued societal growth in order to impact the medical system less.

- The article centers around a book called When Harry Became Sally written by Ryan Anderson who is clearly a religious and conservative voice (https://www.amazon.com/Ryan-T-Anderson/e/B00A0P0MR6?ref=sr_n...)

No-coiners are a function of Bitcoin just as much as HODLers are.
I think for most people this is the better option from a cost perspective. I'm nearly certain I've never purchased a new monitor, either CRT or LCD. I like the idea of repurposing laptop screens in concept, but I'm not sure what problem it's trying to solve.

I'm in no way defending the Australian legislation but It's absurd to me that Google and recently Facebook have positioned themselves as defenders of "the open web." Google with their AMP, Project Dragonfly and Chrome dominance and FB with their walled garden seem to reach for the "open web" argument whenever something threatens their status quo.

Probably because of the small print/legalese.

The currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous. The activation and use of these features are dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving features evolve, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates.

I agree that the best may not benefit much from KPIs. But what about the average and below average performers? That’s where process and KPIs can really help drive performance improvements.
Because whether it’s an attack or not is more to do with the framing than act. If you get all the miners together and can amass 51% of the hash power then you have consensus and have enough control of the network to simply not accept the EIP.

If something like this isn’t possible and you don’t actually need consensus to push through changes then the whole “distributed” part is just a fiction and we’re really talking about a centrally controlled network. Miners are just basically threatening to vote against the EIP if it comes to it.

Threatening to vote against a bill if it reaches the floor in its current form isn’t an attack or violence. It’s just a message that if you want it to pass you should probably change it.
I had a nightmare last night that my 3 year old smartphone's screen got horribly scratched enough to be a constant nuisance but not bad enough to interfere with its function, and I had to decide whether or not to give up and upgrade.
Indeed, buffering the data by even just one or two sample periods and running the DAC from a local clock would be enough to eliminate any reasonable effect of network behavior. And it's probably already buffered by more than that, if data are sent as packets.

There's always the possibility that the equipment under test is itself badly designed, e.g., that the DAC is unstable against tiny changes in network behavior. That might tend to magnify tiny errors that would be accommodated by better designed but less esoteric equipment. Subjectively choosing among badly designed components could explain a lot, including why laypeople don't perceive the same effects when listening to mainstream gear.
My understanding is that Alan Kay cannot reasonably claim to have "the original definition of OO", only "a very good early definition". Additionally, it seems like he's either been a bit inconsistent or unclear about the essential ideas at different times.

Rust is low-level enough that if necessary, it can be optimized for maximum performance just as well as C. Higher-level abstractions, easy memory management, and abundance of available libraries tend to make Rust programs have more code, do more, and if left unchecked, can add up to bloat. However, Rust programs also optimize quite well, sometimes better than C. While C is good for writing minimal code on byte-by-byte pointer-by-pointer level, Rust has powerful features for efficiently combining multiple functions or even whole libraries together.

But the biggest potential is in ability to fearlessly parallelize majority of Rust code, even when the equivalent C code would be too risky to parallelize. In this aspect Rust is a much more mature language than C.
Something which I've used in the past (edited because I spotted some mistakes while re-reading the code [grin]):

public readonly struct Option<T>
{
public static readonly Option<T> NONE = new Option<T>();

//

public T Value { get; }
public bool HasValue { get; }

public Option(T value)
{
Value = value;
HasValue = value is { };
}

public Option<TR> Select<TR>(Func<T, TR> selector) => HasValue ? new Option<TR>(selector(Value)) : Option<TR>.NONE;
public Option<TR> SelectMany<TR>(Func<T, Option<TR>> selector) => HasValue ? selector(Value) : Option<TR>.NONE;

public T OrElse(T defValue = default) => HasValue ? Value : defValue;
}

You can of course add more utility functions besides these, eventually as extension methods, but it's a starting point.
Googling "EAC supports linux" does not returns anything useful on first results. Would you mind to share your source?

How are Optional named arguments and Generics obvious choices for a new OO language? Good to have, sure, but obvious?
Use the Lutris installer [1] and it will work great. It feels about as native as it gets, and it manages to hit 120 fps on my 1440p monitor with my meek 1050ti. Unbelievable performance, if you ask me. There's currently an issue where it will regenerate the shader cache with every launch, but it should only take 1-2 minutes with a decent CPU, which I normally spend in the training grounds. Once the cache is ready, performance is blistering fast.

> The bus I commute on went under, and I can’t be trusted to drive 120 miles a day and keep my speed in check.

I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest part of the problem here is a 60 mile commute twice a day. That's an absurd distance to drive for a job.
Sure, but not everyone can foresee everything. Email was meant to be a decentralised, self-hosted service, yet here we are, gmail, outlook have the majority of users.

In addition to that, most of those megaminers, and megapools, can't do much without working with a large chunk of other miners. Without it, the worse they can do is not fulfill individual transactions (which other miners can continue to accept).

Just because a minority is hoarding bitcoin, does not make bitcoin's core issue invalid, that is, don't trust financial institutions or governments.

Bitcoin never claimed to solve the issues that are at the core of monetary systems (greed, corruption etc). It solves the issue of trust. I don't have to trust a financial institutions or government to tell me how much money I own. Nor is there a government or bank that can freeze my account because I've been naughty (or, in certain cases, because the government deems you naughty because of $ideology). That's what bitcoin solves. Not the issues that are core to monetary systems. Issues that mostly come from human psyche.
The product is obviously not for you but for clueless PHBs who want the "latest and best" for the team so those useless ML engineers can finally put his brilliant idea in production with a less than 1% prediction error.
> Are you seriously implying that a Bitcoin will be worth $500,000,000 over the next decade?

Why wouldn't it? Is there anything that would put a cap on its price? The value will keep increasing for as long as people keep believing it's valuable. It may or may not reach absurd prices like 100 thousand dollars or more.

I think there's a good chance that it will. The set of people who value the coin keeps growing. It's grown to the point even companies are buying bitcoin now.

> Are you really not able to think of practical circumstances which would cause the price of Bitcoin to go down?

Sure I can. People could attempt to sell large quantities, crashing the market.

Bitcoin itself could be attacked in any number of ways. Electricity costs could be adjusted to reduce mining efficiency. Nation states could seize control of the network via 51% attacks. I'm not really sure whether these events will come to pass though.
An electric car that is charged from coal-generated power is basically a coal car.
It doesn't sound like techno-babble to me. They've distributed storage across nodes rather than replicating on each node, hence the model size is now scalable with number of nodes rather than being limited to what could be stored on a single node.
For some definition of work. And I would wager than no more than 2% of playtime is on Linux. And that’s being extremely generous.
17hp is reasonable for a small motorcycle. You only need more power if you are going on highways, and this vehicle doesn't. For comparison, it's about twice as much as the Honda Grom, which is certainly beyond a scooter.

It's as much power as a Honda Rebel 250, a CBF250, an MT125, a Yamaha Vixion, an ST250, etc..., and those are gas engines that will generally only provide like 50-70% of their power.

Electric golf carts generally use 3-5hp engines. That's because for small engines, the electric advantage of always delivering the same amount of power is a huge deal.

18hp was enough for many cars. It is fine for city driving. It goes up to 100km/h, it's fine.

Also, the peak power of the motor is actually 20kW, 13kW is the sustained power, which again is more than enough for city driving.

It's not even the price. I have a commercial toaster sitting in the garage, works well. But I don't have counter space or a need for a toaster with a conveyor belt. I'm just not making that much toast.
Hi, author here.
I've owned kettles with lights (and I like them). I've owned kettles that beep (and I don't mind it at all). Believe me when I tell you, that section of my article was not over-the-top. On the first day, I sat on the couch (about 7 meters away from the kettle) and the light of the kettle shone so brightly in my eye that my first thought was that someone was flashing a laser into my eyes through the window.

They do have a Wine-version of their anti-cheat (or at least they did in the past). SMITE used to use it, but stopped for some reason.
Yeah but we weren't very good at it.
To be fair screenshoting has always worked great and a larger part of the Linux community always adopts things well before they are ready.

If you don't want sort of broken stuff don't use a distro that changes major versions every 6 months.
Well, evolutionary psychology is generally debunked. But it's possible that it's some low-level effect that attempts to make us more social. Maybe knowing the answer, and watching someone struggle with it, comes from cavepeople teaching each other a new fire-making technique or something. Maybe it's an attempt to make us feel good about sharing knowledge?
No, most people think of some ill-defined idea shaped largely by the concrete design of early versions of, and practice in, C++ and Java, reflecting a set of compromises between early OO visions (including, but not limited to, Kay’s), C’s particular style of statically-typed procedural programming, and various practices that emerged to deal with the warts of those compromises.
You still need to know the 1password password and the 2fa number so technically that’s 3fa.
Everyone acts per their interest. Right and wrong is subjective.
I would think KPIs are useful at mid level and higher, once you have more people than you can have in depth conversations with within maybe the span of 3 days you need to set organizational and group goals that are simple enough that people can follow without talking to you.

on edit: or maybe a more clear rule is when you have managers between you and other employees, the KPIs tell you how things are going but also tell the managers how you will interpret how things are going, and give them easy numbers they can use to tell the people they supervise how things are going. Of course they are only useful if people can communicate back why they think the KPIs are faulty and if those communications will be listened to - which places I've worked at that used KPIs, this was not something one could do.
Hi, author here.

Can you please send me a link? (not being snarky).

I think NTSB is using data in the aggregate. What they seem to be focusing on is manufacturers, specifically Tesla, broadly allowing use of these systems in circumstances where it's possibly dangerous and also allowing advanced features, which can be more dangerous, for smaller groups. Their POV is that if manufacturers were more restrictive about where the comfort features could be used, there would be fewer deaths. I've never read about them criticizing the active safety components to these systems.
