I'm not entirely convinced that this is going to work. I've spent some time looking into college educations, and I think the lede is buried on what the value actually is. For most roles that require a college degree, the actual education is of some value, but not the primary value. Frankly, for most roles, I think 4 years of on the job training would result in a far more competent worker than 4 years of college. There's a lot of stuff that you'll likely never use, and a ton of stuff that you might use, but probably not. I can't recall a single time I used calculus at work. Even if I did need calculus, an approximation to the nearest millionth is more precise than I would even be likely to be able to implement in the physical world.

No, I think a significant portion of the value of a college education is predictability of the workforce. Most people who go to college are on a roughly similar path in life, and are looking for roughly the same thing from a job. They get along as coworkers because of that. It provides a base for people to get along with. Unconventional people (who I love) are harder to integrate. They might not give a shit if you give them a raise or a promotion, and likewise, they may not give a shit if you threaten to withhold them. They might not get along with coworkers as well, because they lack similar life goals and experiences.

I think that is the real value (again, for most jobs. Academics and researchers are obviously quite different).

I would guess that these will temporarily be considered valuable, and then will become equivalent to a degree from DeVry. It guarantees the education, but that isn't what people were hiring for to begin with.
It sounds like you're suggesting that you are a "soul" that was "put" in a body.

Try to see it from this perspective; your experience as an individual (soul) is a feature of the structure we call Homo sapiens. It's a characteristic of this species' brain structure, in the same way that the colors of a flower are characteristic of its phenotype.

It would be silly to ask, "What are the chances that that shade of yellow ended up on that particular daffodil?"

The notion of "you" being in a "body" is extremely difficult to shake. Even if it's intellectually approachable, understanding it intuitively is something else entirely, though certainly attainable through sustained meditative practice or a hearty dose of psychedelics.

I am referring to [0]. Tl;dr: Galaxy rotation curves are accounted for by ordinary General Relativity. At least for some. My comment turns out to refer to another article [1] linked from TFA, referring to a different sighting, that says "the lensing galaxy which hosts the radio source contains an unexpectedly low fraction of mysterious dark matter".

Usually we hear about lensing by galaxy clusters, not individual galaxies. If galaxies are short on DM, but clusters aren't, that seems to say something about how DM is distributed.

Despite other comments dismissing this, I do think this is a compelling and humbling question.

I think its best answered with a few related questions to consider what makes us lucky:

1) Longevity clearly matters, but the relativity of it is hard to assess: some sea mammals with emotionally-rich lives live twice as long.

2) Quality of life clearly matters. It's easy to imagine (and hopefully you personally know some!) pampered pets who have it unbelievably good: tasty food and nutrition, regular fun exercise, a fulfilling social and family life, a sense of purpose, etc.

And on the other end of the spectrum:

3) There are untold numbers of us who pulled the short straw in life and have lives marred in tragedy and suffering -- if they even are "lucky" enough to live long enough to comprehend it.

I think some of us are incredibly lucky and very much in the minority. The "luck" spectrum in life is so both deep and wide that I'm perfectly happy accepting "consciousness is everywhere" in order to focus on the question of what to do with the consciousness (and unfortunate lack of it at times) I have.
What is consciousness?

I have the feeling of experiencing things. Is it not possible that such a phenomenon can be produced within a machine?

When I try to answer this question, after coding for decades I can’t tell you how this phenomenon can be possible within a Turing machine.

So it seems obvious to me that (a) brains must be machines and (b) a machine cannot be conscious and so I conclude that (c) I don’t know what I’m talking about.
I recall another project for this, Jacktrip, stating that people need to be within 500 miles of each other, all else being equal.
The Amazon description says: "Radin shows how we know that psychic phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis are real, based on scientific evidence from thousands of controlled lab test".

Actually as far as I understand we know that telepathy does not work, and even more so with psychokinesis. Did you read the book, can you point me to the scientific evidence of psychokinesis?

You're certainly welcome to do the work to prove the (extraordinary) claim that you're making.

It would have to be weighted by size of the sales too. 1 sale that you worked really hard on could be worth 20+ small sales.

First I would say that just because you hear about a number of engineers that are hobbyist programmers after work doesn't mean it's commonplace. It's just commonly talked about and can be beneficial. The majority of engineers I interview for leadership positions are not hobbyist programmers.

It's also taxing. I am one of these people. I don't have responsibilities in my life outside of work, so I have infinite time to do what I want. That also means I have less time to do what others want, which makes making friends outside of programming and other demanding careers difficult. Additionally, it requires a myriad of maturity processes; you will have to learn to flip a switch of perspective between work code and hobby code so as to maintain a healthy separation. Hobby code should be fun at the end of the day, or it's not a hobby anymore.

I've learned to decompress hard rather than gradually. I'll go ride my bike and push myself for an hour, I'll soak in the tub, and then pick up my journal that has all the notes from my hobby code in it.

I do not buy into extended work activities any more. I lead development teams, but I started cutting out all extracurricular activities at work so as to reserve my time for me. Understand that even with people at work you are bound by a contract, by all means fulfill that contract but don't give things to a profit machine for free. This significantly cut down the energy-spending-spin-cycle I found myself in at work. I'm a person that's happy to help people to learn and grow, but if I make myself too available I spread myself so thin that I make no room for me.

Hope this helps.
In fact the Olympus implementation of this feature moves the sensor by half a photosite diagonally. They do it by re-purposing the existing in-body stabilization mechanism to move the sensor around.

User 'twic' posted a link to a very interesting article that describes this and also explains the difference between photosites and pixels:

Newer Sony mirrorless cameras embed gyroscope data into videos for further stabilization of the image when IBIS is not enough

Theoretically, with 30FPS cameras like Sony A1 and said gyroscope data, you can create super resolution images.

IIRC Olympus' some handheld super resolution modes use both shake and sensor shift to increase resolution.
>Also, they can't "unlicense" previously distributed code

The United States allows authors (and heirs), except work-for-hires, to clawback copyright transfers and terminate licenses after 35 years on works made after 1977. This is an inalienable statutory right, which means it cannot be waived even with a contract.

That said, it may be difficult to terminate licenses in practice because open source licensing is done informally in most cases and courts haven't ruled whether this impacts the right of termination. However, copyright assignment and contributor license agreements are subject to termination.

Yes that matches my understanding.

And IMO it's fair for Amazon to continue the development based off an old version. Forking is an important right in open source. Nobody who releases code as open source should expect that their code isn't forked.
Kirk McKusick took this kind of scale into consideration when designing softupdates for UFS. One of his criticisms of the competing log structured filesystems at the time was that the replay process would require RAM in excess of any server's capacity once disk drives were large enough. He had designed the softupdates recovery process to be incremental and use a fixed amount of RAM that didn't scale with volume size.

This kind of holistic systems' awareness is a sign of software that's designed well.
Of course, these efforts have effectively gone nowhere.

One place I worked at actually gave us a 15 minute warning to get out at 5. That start-up meant it too, they kicked you out, and you'd need permission from the CEO to stay (his policy). You could take your laptop home if you were desperate, but you couldn't stay there.

On GKE, the master nodes are provisioned behind-the-scenes. You get one free zonal master.

The f1-micro would be the worker node. It's still a bit of a squeeze, because GKE has system workloads that need to run on user nodes.
Viacom International Inc. v. YouTube, Inc. is basically what caused Content ID to come into existence, despite being ruled in Youtube's favor. It was going to go to appeal but a non-monetary settlement was agreed upon, which is why it's believed that Content ID came from that.

I was creating an operational definition. Of course others disagree. That is how words work. They have narrower and broader meanings to different people or in different contexts. The fact the others disagree with my operational definition does not invalidate my operational definition which stands on its own.

Gp asserted "We don't know how to define life." I put forth a closed definition of life that makes sense. Others may have a less restrictive definition...my definition demonstrated that sufficient conditions exist to define life.
>A first case was diagnosed in 2015, according to the memo. Three years later, in 2019, 11 additional cases were discovered, with 24 more cases discovered in 2020 and another six cases in 2021. Five people have died.

So not 40 cases all at once in case anyone was worried.

You can easily run something like K3s on a single node. Works fine and installing is very simple. I have felt no need for a managed platform for simple deployment.
They could start by naming their systems appropriately.

Seagate's presentation made a big deal out of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and said most data centers still store 90% of data on hard drives and not SSD.

Their goal is to retain that TCO edge by ensuring that HD performance doesn't get too much worse as HD capacity increases.

Did you use Docker Swarm in the previous revision?

I've been quite happy with it for a few years now on a single-node cluster and a handful of services. I could easily add another node, but haven't had the need to. The setup was quite simple and it requires practically no maintenance. If I have to reboot everything starts up automatically, image upgrades are a breeze, and I really have no issues with it.

Sure it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a k8s cluster, but it's perfectly fine for personal use.

I'm still partly annoyed that Swarm is mostly dead in this space and k8s has undoubtedly "won". It's only a matter of time before Docker Inc. fully abandons it. Such a shame.

"Music copyrights are a minefield, even for old music, because it is often performed and rearranged, both of which would restart the copyright clock."

Most of what the choir was flagged on was Gregorian Chant, the settings of which trace their origins to Old Testament worship in the Temple of Jerusalem, possibly as far back as King David's tabernacle singers. The texts are all ancient (200 to 1600 years old) and the "new" settings were composed by William Byrd (1540 - 1623) and Palestrina (1525 - 1594). We're not talking about something that was recently reset... though that would explain why Morten Lauridsen's "O Magnum Mysterium" is almost never heard in Divine Worship (that setting isn't even 30 years old yet).
Agreed, still they were touch screen regardless of having a stylus.
I would wager they're trying to increase their top of the funnel for recruiting. They want people to get these certs, then somebody else to hire them and give them on the job training, and then Google will hire them once they've been in a role for a few years.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if this was intended to increase their number of minority candidates. A lot of people have pointed to top of the funnel issues with recruiting diverse candidates (not saying it's true, I'm not in recruiting and don't know). This would offer an avenue for traditionally disadvantaged groups to get something that lets them accrue on the job training, at which point Google can hire them. It helps anybody who is disadvantaged, but Google has been trying to fix their demographics for a while now and failing pretty hard.
Awesome stuff. If you use it, do yourself a latency favor and avoid WiFi connections. Use ethernet.

Some SDP munging in the clients can shorten Opus packets, which helps. If they're longer than 20ms things get ugly.

I tried using a swarm approach (full mesh of point-to-point WebRTC connections) for plain audio, no video. I got the latency down to about 70 ms transcontinental, but my musician alpha tester (brother) didn't go for it.

Let's get this to work!

I don't have the time to give you an essay on this, but here's the very first search result on this topic - and it's a pretty good one [0]. Note that France was the first country in Europe to do that. Coincidence?

"In 2010, France passed a law prohibiting people from wearing clothing in public that covers your face. And although many blasted the law as Islamophobic, the "burqa ban" remains in place today, punishable with a fine and citizenship course."

Here's the third search result for the term "is france a tolerant society?", from Wikipedia which has a wiki dedicated to that topic [1]:

"Racism is regarded by many in French society as a significant social problem. Racism against Jews and Muslims has a long history, and acts have been reported against members of resident groups including Algerian, Berbers and Arabs. In 2016, the French National Commission on Human Rights reported that 8% of French believe that some races are superior to others."

I don’t think people realize how companies/people use binding arbitration to their advantage?

These companies pay the arbitrators. It’s usually done by mail, and their usually is no investigation into your case.

The little guy wins only in egregious situations, and I have never met anyone who won especially going up against a big company?

I get arbitration agreements for small companies, but not for huge monopolies, and scummy high interest rate card it cards.

I had a run in with Columbia Credit Services, and still have a judgement following me over a credit card. Someone decided to look into the arbitration process of this company, and something like 99.9 percent of the time the customer lost. Even hired process servers whom would lie about serving the papers. All over a credit card sent in the mail.

(Judgements last 10 years, and can be renewed. They tick away at 10% per year, if the creditor can’t immediately your life miserable, and take your stuff with a warrant.)
In the UK 40 people standing on a sidewalk are killed by car drivers every year

In my local town a couple of months ago a car driver managed to embed their car in a house, fortunately the resident was upstairs at the time and not sitting in their living room, otherwise they would have been dead

Last week another driver hit a stone column, 3' from the road (with sidewalk between), damaging a 500 year old building and meaning the residents had to be evacuated. They're still in a hotel.

How do you propose those people make their own decisions?
Stallman is, unfortunately.

>I see individuals that would rather go on vacation then have children, but that is a false dichotomy

Why is this a false dichotomy? Clearly having children will use up time and resources that could otherwise be used for vacations and other fun things.

I've also heard a theory that in poorer areas, children can become a status marker. So when people see no hope of climbing the socioeconomic latter, they resort to having lots of children to prove their "virility".
I think care should go the other way. "Spartan" clearly means "a citizen of Sparta", not just "an inhabitant of Sparta" just as "Athenian" means "a citizen of Athens", and not just "an inhabitant of Athens". The article seems to be making the same kind of assumption but I believe this is an unorthodox interpretation of the term, "spartan".

For a modern example, I've lived 15 years in Britain (i.e. the UK) and I'm legally resident in the country but I am not, in any meaning of the term, "British".

Perhaps there is a confusion between the term "spartan" (which you render with a small "S") and "Spartiate"? In Greek there is only one word, "Σπαρτιάτης" ("Spartiates"). I believe the use of the term "spartan" to distinghuish between citizens of Sparta and e.g. helots or perioikoi, is a modern habit. As in very modern- as a young Greek I was fascinated with the ancient era and so I read a lot on ancient Greece but I don't remember such a distinction anywhere in the (Greek-language) sources I studied.

Indeed, if I try to translate "spartan" in Greek so that it sounds like a different word to "spartiates", I'd have to say something like "Σπαρτινός". But that is not a word I've ever heard spoken in Greece, nor, dare I say, has anyone else.
> The problem is the perceived risk

Communication helps a lot.

If you say "50 cases in 17 million injections" people might not know what that exactly means and might be worried simply by the way it is reported. Now, if instead you qualify the above with "which is less than the chance of dying in a car crash so it's very safe" then people may be unfazed.

I feel the main problem is the way this was reported, which created an overblown perceived risk.
All parties involved would have to have agreed in writing to binding arbitration, so yes any non-party can do whatever they want.
