Mix of price, compatibility, dev support. Atari was behaving like a consumer electronics company and left the developers starved for information on the computer, while Commodore shipped every unit with a very comprehensive manual. The C64 was a clean break from predecessors in most respects and the VIC II was more straightfoward to program for typical raster graphics(even if it missed some of the neat features of Antic and CTIA/GTIA), while the Atari had a legacy install base with lower memory capacity. So, by the mid 80's the Commodore had become the defacto cheap game machine, in absence of new console competition. It was never a great applications computer, in fact(I/O limits derived from the low cost architecture meant it did less than an Apple II for many development and business tasks) but it hit a certain sweet spot of being a great first computer.

Atari after the Warner acquisition was a hugely dysfunctional company - there are a lot of proposed alternate histories where different projects got prioritized and execution was better, that would have given them a stronger position in the computer market. As it is, they still put out some pretty cool hardware.
> The US is roughly 60% Europe, 25% Latin America, 10% Africa and 5% Asia.

Yes. Everyone knows African Americans have more in common with Africans than Americans. Asian Americans are a monolith, and so is Asia. And Latin Americans speak Latin. Sigh.
I use gzip --lossy if I forget to submit a rough draft for school papers. It comes out decent quality, but slightly worse.
You could say the same thing about photoshop itself. This is to mistake the leaves for the trees.
There's a big enough market for stolen cars, that the tax level probably wouldn't make a difference.
...Europe has 38GW of pumped hydro storage. USA has 20ish.
Seems like a sign crypto might actually welcome. “First they call you fools then they call you an enemy” or something like that.
I see your point. But most national parks forbid taking natural items such as rocks, shells, etc.

If everyone takes an item from the park there's no park left for future generations anyways. Kelp forest or no kelp forest ...

Elon has said more than once reducing the power needs is a goal. (so it can be more easily used on small boats, RVs, etc.)
> The country follows the same DST schedule as most of Europe, setting the clocks forward one hour on the last Sunday in March and back again one hour on the last Sunday in October.

Didn't EU plan to cancel DST? It's long overdue to cancel this erratic switch everywhere.
I try to keep my sleep schedule so I wake up shortly after daybreak for exactly this reason. I love natural light and loath sleeping through it. I've considered writing an app that sets an alarm to sunset and a reminder 9 hours prior to sunset so I can always wake with the sun and have plenty of sleep. Should be pretty simple I just haven't gotten around to it.

(Though personally, I'd prefer it were a personal choice and not the random, sleep disrupting change that DST ends up being)
Automated plate readers and live queries to the DMV/Registry are much more prevalent in just the last few years.
Amen to that, the sooner people realize some above and below ground trains can solve a number of issues and create much more prosperity, the better.
Have you read about it?
Drug smuggling submarines are much closer to pre-world-war-2 submarines than the nuclear military submarines you may be thinking of.

These submarines are essentially boats that sit with almost all of their profile under water, and often may not even be able to submerge at all.

Their purpose is to reduce the visible portion of the boat above the water to the absolute minimum. A small swell is enough to hide these submarines from view.

Noone is especially looking for these as they sound and travel like typical boats
Technically yes some divers do eat them, but these aren't the same species of urchin that people typically eat as uni sushi. The gonads in purple urchins are so small that's it's hardly worth the effort of cleaning them.
For starters, you won't hit the front page with one.
No it's not huge

Indians will keep their crypto, and wait for either 1) the supreme court to strike down this law 2) a new government to repeal this law.

The cat is out the bag. Politicians in every country like money. They will try to appeal to the populace by pretending to fight crypto ("it's bad for the environment!") while knowing its advantages and trying to keep them for themselves
You continue to obfuscate, misrepresent, and outright lie about what you said and the claims you've made. The history is right above us, it's clear to me and anyone who is reading this what you've really done.

This conversation is pointless, you're not willing to be honest or engage with legitimacy. It is a fact that people are capable of changing their political views, your own citations demonstrate that quite clearly, and your "95 percent" certainty that they cannot is a consequence of your own failure to understand what you've read.

I am done here, you are not a reasonable person.
Maybe I watched the wrong movie and read the wrong book, but doesn't Scarlett end up ultimately paying dearly for those transgressions? A miscarriage, a dead daughter, and the man she actually loves ends up leaving her forever[1] over shit behavior.

Sounds less like a heroine and more like a cautionary tale, but I guess that's the rub with every story true and fiction; whatever moral you want to extract, you usually can.

[1]: I don't count Ripley's Scarlett, because Margaret Mitchell flat out refused to write a sequel to Gone With The Wind.

Not really. You know what happens when a satellite burns up in the atmosphere? Hint: It's not a nuclear reaction. All the components end up back on earth (just vaporized and oxidized).
Yeah, but we don’t know if this kelp thing is because of CO2 emissions, and tire runoff actually does kill marine life in nearby rivers.
Is the ticketing automated? In my (NZ) experience, you don’t get pulled over and they leave that crap to parking wardens, who do it with pleasure.

When I walk through car parks I notice plenty of cars with expired registration.

They can imported before that for museum, collections, or racing-only use, of course.
Why is this special to Amazon and SpaceX? Literally every vertical integrated company does what you said. That's the definition of vertical integration.
Again, this only really applies if they catch you. I agree with most of what you're saying, but a law like this presupposes that their government can catch you while exchanging it, which is pretty damn hard with most crypto. This is one of those "broken tail-light" laws like piracy, where they basically use it as an excuse to double-charge criminals who get caught transacting with dirty crypto.
Have you considered putting it behind cloudflare? It would offload your static assets from your vm with very little configuration.

The size of the sea otter population is almost certainly a result of human activity. In particular the fur trade and fisheries.
The fact that events can sometimes have unintuitive consequences does not make it rational to claim two random things are connected and ignore all the science we do have.

The sea star wasting may be tied to global warming or not and there are some plausible hypothesis. That said, there is no credible theory which ties it to overfishing.
That's where the zoster virus hides out
How is this related to Hindu nationalism?
Related is how mining operations are hunted down in Abhasia. Hitting at mining, the backbone of cryptocurrency decentralization and independence, is an interesting approach in taking crypto under control (the PoW I mean as the PoS is much easy for governments to control naturally).
Well, (my) darts aren't accurate, so, maybe? I couldn't hit Belgium from 3m away but I probably couldn't hit USA either. I'm thinking water still wins. And it depends on the map projection too. Maybe the dart is to focus on that specific circular area, like 10km radius or something? Or maybe every group gets an equal slice on the dart board? Just something to help distribution rather than some money-motivated/short-term-outrage method we seem to have now.
Would love to hear more of these traditional high yield funds with less risk that you're speaking of.

People don't need gold in particular, but they need a place to store value without friction.
And on the opposite side, I would love it if I could have hospitals destroy all my records as soon as I leave, because I value my privacy more than their fetishist interest in collecting information that would put google to shame.

After trying in vain, I've realized it's fighting windmills on an uphill battle, an I just do medical tourism. No records, paid in cash, in a different country each time
You say "There is no magic or mystery here. This is not complicated. It is not new, unknown and to be determined."

Clearly wrong. Specifically consider the velocity of money. If it falls as the supply increases there will be no inflation. It is falling <https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=AzYM> (from another comment). Why? Will it continue to fall or will it rise? You don't know and can't figure out.

Also, how much liquidity is required to maximize economic growth -- the "size of the cake"? In recessions (liquidity crunches) growth falls. Would it rise further if we increase liquidity beyond "the usual"? Would it rise enough to wash out the inflationary effect? You don't know and can't figure out.

Your positions and other similar ones depend on the situation being subject to simple reasoning but this is wrong. The interactions are complex and the obvious variables do not provide a clean way of decomposing the system.
Certainly, I mean that carbon emissions are generally a bigger problem than pollution, so we should probably prioritize that first.
The History Channel aired this documentary which summarizes multiple theories about the discovery of America, from either the Atlantic or Pacific. Ice age explorers, Vikings, Polynesians, etc., are all covered:

It's also nice because main is less characters and less confusing for new git users.
Yes. I can’t understand why the EU is still threatening US businesses for legal US practices either. Seems like they would have gotten around to fixing this, but you can certainly try to help it along by complaining to your representatives who made this law and caused this situation.
Generally the US National Park Services allows people to take two gallons of uninhabited shells from national seashores.
In my opinion Toyota firmware engineers were not empowered check the quality of their own firmware, and were likely under time pressure to just Get-It-Done™

I've managed embedded C & C++ products in my career, and I always insisted that the developers be given the time to set up the firmware to run under representative load in a lab. Without fail the developers found significant problems that did not crop up during QA or dev unit testing. Tasks performed by the devs included creating and evolving simulation hardware, firmware and software to make the most representative load scenario possible to find and kill chaos. The funniest part? Nothing I ever did was in safety critical systems, and we clearly did more than Toyota.
More people aren't talking about it because they don't know or understand what is going on. I only know about the Indian governments corruption because I worked with an Indian programmer who would talk about it. The majority are busy trying to keep up to date with what their own government is doing.
More like one bird per 210 nameplate kW. It was already pointed out by the grandparent comment that cats are a bigger problem for birds in general. But still, wind turbines kill enough eagles and other larger birds for it to be a significant concern deserving of mitigation.

E.g. the estimate is that the Altamont Pass installation kills ~440 burrowing owls per year, when there's likely to be fewer than 10k breeding pairs of owls left. That's a 2% kill rate (or more, counting the disruption to breeding pairs) from one (larger) installation.
ASW is highly targeted, there is no way to try to detect submarines over long distances. So unless they want to spend millions and millions targetting exactly these submarines it won't work.

I don't know. A lot depends on how they are. UV is the main degrader of plastics in general (but I'm not sure about PVC in particular), but in walls or the ground that isn't a problem. PVC is often used for vent pipes where it is allowed through the roof with no treatment - but failures in this application are not a disaster (no pressure). HDEP (black water pipe - not to be confused with ABS which is sometimes used for drains) pipe has a history of 50 years in the ground with no sign of failure. PEX is expected to last 100 years in a building, but in one month of sun exposure is enough to make it no longer able to hold water pressure.

I've named 3 types of plastic, you can't apply a blanket statement about any of them that applies to the rest.
Some notes on interesting pages:

Page 31: References Toyota witness who indicated that they didn't think the firmware had bugs

Page 53: Critical variables were not mirrored!

Page 56: Throttle could be thrown wide open by memory corruption bug

*Page 62: Task X (real task name redacted) in the code called out as a "Kitchen Sink" task that does a bunch of different things, including cruise control and throttle control, and, most importantly, reporting diagnostic errors*

Page 64: There was no brake override to cut throttle when brake applied. Not only that, but later Toyota model threw brake override code into the kitchen sink task anyway, so if that task failed.....

Page 82: Barr describes what happens when task X is killed after user hits resume on cruise control

Page 89: Additional failure condition, if use is lightly touching brake when cruise control resumes and task x is killed, the acceleration won't stop unless they fully release and press break pedal again

Page 91: Buffer overflow found in code

Page 92: Pointers dereferenced without checking to see if they are valid

Page 93: Nice description of a race condition

Page 99: Toyota employees referred to the code as "spaghetti"

*Page 100: Code used over 10,000 global variables*

*Page 107: Stack size is 4kb, Toyota thought it was at worst case 41 percent used. Barr found it to be 94 percent worst case.....not counting recursion that was in the code as well!*

*Page 108: In case of stack overflow, critical OS data, such as what tasks are running, is the first thing to get overwritten*

Page 112: Toyota engineers didn't understand that the stack also gets data pushed onto it by ISR and OS task switching

Page 113: Toyota code had recursion, a huge no-no in critical safety systems

Page 123: Toyota engineer indicated they never looked for a firmware bug that would cause the throttle to be wide open

Page 128: Mirroring was used on many variables, however the target throttle angle variable was NOT mirrored

Page 138: RPM failsafe was part of Task X (Kitchen Sink task)

Page 142: Watchdog only monitored for excessive CPU usage. It didn't check for tasks being killed.

Page 143: Toyota dedicated a hardware timer to kicking the watchdog!
sayprimer.com actually can do this and deliver you CSV files for outbound. I just finished building the automated outbound process for MainStreet and it required no engineer and it will be automated. Happy to chat more about how I did this if you want.
With unfortunate, I intended to refer to the way the situation was picked up by the general public: The change to the ToS necessary was only intended to make it easier for businesses to get started with the WhatsApp Business API, not a sneaky way to read user's messages.

The delegation is still in place in terms of encryption: Everything the client sends or receives is encrypted or decrypted using a client-local private key, even if the client is running on AWS servers, rented by WhatsApp. In theory, noone but the business itself has access to the data the client processes, plus it's an optional service: You're still free to host the client yourself. It's just easy to mess up.

It's a demonstration of the power that conservative and traditionalist interests hold in India. Just this month they threatened to arrest Twitter and Facebook employees for not censoring their platforms, so hopefully this helps foster a discussion about the political happenings over there.
Or carcinogenic.
It's really cool to see these techniques in the wild, and also feels encouraging to us as we're doing something very similar at Splitgraph [0] to implement our "Data Delivery Network" [1]. Recently we've started calling Splitgraph a "Data Mesh" [2]. As long as we have a plugin [3] for a data source, users can connect external data sources to Splitgraph and make them addressable alongside all the other data on the platform, including versioned snapshots of data called data images. [4] So you can `SELECT FROM namespace/repo:tag` where `tag` can refer to an immutable version of the data, or e.g. `live` to route to route to a live external data source via FDW. So far we have plugins for Snowflake, CSV in S3 buckets, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, Postgres, and a few others, like Socrata data portals (which we use to index 40k open public datasets).

Our goal with Splitgraph is to provide a single interface to query and discover data. Our product integrates the discovery layer (a data catalog) with the query layer (a Postgres compatible proxy to data sources, aka a "data mesh" or perhaps "data lake"). This way, we improve both the catalog and the access layer in ways that would be difficult or impossible as separate products. The catalog can index live data without "drift" problems. And since the query layer is a Postgres-compatible proxy, we can apply data governance rules at query time that the user defines in the web catalog (e.g. sharing data, access control, column masking, query whitelisting, rewriting, rate limiting, auditing, firewalling, etc.).

We like to use GitLab's strategy as an analogy. GitLab may not have the best CI, the best source control, the best Kubernetes deploy orchestration, but by integrating them all together in one platform, they have a multiplicative effect on the platform itself. We think the same logic can apply to the data stack. In our vision of the world, a "data mesh" integrated with a "data catalog" can augment or eventually replace various complicated ETL and warehousing workflows.

P.S. We're hiring immediately for all-remote Senior Software Engineer positions, frontend and backend [5].

P.P.S. We also have a private beta program where we can deploy a full Splitgraph stack onto either self-hosted or managed infrastructure. If you want that, get in touch. We'll probably be in beta for 12-18 months.

From the article:

Keeping away from the public markets has allowed Stripe to keep a tight lid on financial details; it has not disclosed revenues or profitability.

However, a person close to the San Francisco-based company said it handles a larger volume of payments than its European rival Adyen, which has a market capitalisation of €60bn and processed €303.6bn in 2020.
Oh, I hadn't considered that!
Unless you work in a hospital and experience the rules first hand I suggest you remember what you were taught in kindergarten, do repeat things you’ve been told because they might not be true.

I work in a hospital and I’ve never seen anything remotely like what you described. Our hospital has some of the most sophisticated monitoring systems available for inappropriate patient information access.

Thank you! Haha I'm not entirely sure I recommend my approach. Obejctive C + IGListKit + regular old UIKit on iOS, React through next.js (for SEO) and native css on web, and Kotlin on Android. As to why: I've gotten a bit brash from my college hackathon years, as well as worked on a similar stack during my time as a full-stack eng at Pinterest. From sheer muscle memory and domain knowledge, building out Queenly on these three platforms was quick. Regarding mobile dev, on native dev vs. using React native, I'd say there's an advantage to being able to handle native navigation and animations, a wall that one might run into when developing on a hybrid app platform like RN. Additionally, a little company history: Queenly was an iOS-first app, launched first to prioritized our power sellers in our community. The React web app followed that, with enough user growth in between to shelve any considerations for a migration to RN.
Most people I've met use 'datalake' to refer to a (categorised) collection of otherwise unprocessed data.

A data-warehouse is typically somewhat more structured and doesn't just collect data but also combines and links data from multiple sources. Typically with the goal of creating a set of tables that you can use for reporting without needing to know all the intricate details of how the source-data is linked.

A data-warehouse can be based on a datalake. You could also make a data-warehouse without first building a datalake but keeping the datalake part separate allows for better separation of concerns. You can also have datalake without building a data-warehouse on top of it, it depends on what you want to use it for.
One reason we don't have kelp forests in Oregon is due to sea otters having been wiped out, which kept the urchins at bay.[0]

Unfortunately, according to OPs article:

Others have suggested bringing in another kelp forest predator, the sea otter, to help fight back the urchins. The problem with this appears to be that sea otters aren’t so interested in the skinny, starved urchins occupying the most barren areas, reports Anuradha Varanasi for Inverse. A separate study published this week in the journal the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests the otters do eat urchins but that they prefer the more well-fed residents of the coast’s remaining kelp forests to the so-called “zombie urchins” clinging to life in the denuded barrens.
