In-scope contracts still mean there's a higher tax impact which means the delivery platforms will need to compensate.

YJIT: Building a New JIT Compiler Inside CRuby [video]
I've seen this abuse of the term "exponential" a lot in the press as well (i.e. meaning "really fast"). This is unfortunate in these pandemic times; a new infection does indeed spread through a susceptible population exponentiaally (at least while the susceptible population is much larger than the infectious population).

By degrading the language, journalists deprive themselves of the ability to talk clearly about the spread of the pandemic. I think this abuse of "exponential" is supposed to make the writer look erudite, even though they haven't a clue what the word means.
I don't care much what OS is powering the phone. I just want to be able to compile all the firmware and be able to review the source code.

Depends on what you’re doing I guess. I finished writing my first Linux driver recently. A character device that interfaces with an FPGA via PCIe. No assembly language required. The Linux Device Driver book gave more than enough of an overview of PCI to understand what to do without reading the PCIe spec. Like anything you have to do deep dives when needed. I ended up having to learn a bit about the encoding and overhead of data sent on the PCIe bus when we were trying to understand some bandwidth issues we were having. I’ve done a decent bit of embedded work. You’re more likely to have the data sheets for the device you’re working on printed out and marked up than you are the spec for whatever bus the device uses.
DS9 had a lot of commentary. When someone asks why a democracy has such inequality, I think of Rom:

"You don't understand. Ferengi workers don't want to stop the exploitation. We want to find a way to become the exploiters"

Having such a product would be great but being realistic I doubt it would cover the cases I was talking about. Please see my long response to another comment in the thread. What do you think? Thanks
He didn't say that in the tweets. If that's the case, I wouldn't call it integrity to gloss over it.
That's not what excess deaths mean. Excess deaths is number of deaths above previous years average. It has nothing to do with age, other than tracking who has died at what age.
I used ヲ instead of ウォ in my name in my hanko. It’s katakana, not hentaigana but you don’t see it except in old documents when they used to use katakana for particles (it’s equivalent to を). Saving the extra character meant I could get it made in ten minutes instead of one day. It sometimes gets comments when I use it.

By the way, there’s no requirement that your hanko matches your name and they only need to be registered for large purchases, like a house or for business use. They are however kept on record by your bank and sometimes compared digitally. By law foreigners can always use a signature instead of hanko but it’s not recommended as the comparison will often fail. On the other hand, online banking ans ATMs are good enough now that it’s been a good five years since I set foot in a bank.

Thanks, I didn't know about those statistics. Every time I read about ADHD I definitely think I have it given a bunch of problems I've had throughout my life. Luckily I've managed to get a really good job as a software engineer that is pretty flexible time-wise which has been a life saver since one of the biggest issues is my inability to sleep on a schedule. That led to me dropping out of high school once as well as college once even though I was acing all the tests. I've also found ways to organize my life in a way that makes things more manageable.

The main thing that keeps me from getting treatment is that I don't want to become dependent on a controlled substance. I tend to move around and travel a lot and depending on medication makes me feel very uneasy. I'm also worried about side effects or worse withdrawal problems compared to caffeine. I already know very well how caffeine affects me and I know I can quit and be ok other than the lack of focus. From what I've read, the dependence that can be formed with ADHD drugs can be much more serious.

Would love to have lower cost S3. Last time I tried one I got burned when they changed their prices and then made it really hard to migrate with super slow outbound bandwidth.

Anyway my advice is giving people something to de risk the cost of migration. IDK maybe an abstraction layer that automatically keeps a backup copy inside s3 glacier . Or something else ...
I would like my internet served by the game company that publishes content to me. That is between me and my game publisher. If I don't like the game, I can go buy internet somewhere else. (I didn't have interest for the rest of the allegory, but suffice it to say, I find the PP a bit nostalgic)

The ghost kitchens are really consistent, the quality of food is much better than the majority of restaurants on Deliveroo.
I bet a lot of the advocates of these block chains would claim that the lack of sophistication and cumbersomeness was an advantage.

You'd say things like "if it ever caught on in a big way, what's to stop banks or even governments issuing block-denominated securities, causing inflation? Would people put blocks in banks for safe-keeping, where they'd just end up recreating the fractional reserve system you claim these blocks avoid?".

And advocates would say "no, that won't happen, people would like to keep a hold of their own blocks, no-one would want an IOU from a bank if they could physically hold their very own block instead".

Optimizing your lifelong estate purchase for a style of life that won't always be there seems crazy to me. Why?! Because you get to buy a cheaper estate -- is that the main reason? But you will not always work 9-5. You actually get to retire one day. Also there are the occasional long vacations when everybody is at home. Etc.

The elephant in the room: if you can't tolerate your partner in the same flat/house for longer periods of time then IMO you shouldn't marry them so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I get it that alone time is extremely important. I practice it as well -- my wife too. But what you describe just seems... more like a good roommates' arrangement / contract, and not an actual relationship?

Please understand that none of this is meant to offend or generalize. But what you describe is just legitimately baffling for me.
I think one issue is, they separate branding from production. Ordinarily, you expect each restaurant to be independent, have their own style and recipes and quality standards. It's something you can learn, and then choose the restaurants that suit your standards and taste the most. In a world of on-line orders and delivery, a ghost kitchen operator - or a "clever" entrepreneur subcontracting one or more of such kitchens - can set up an arbitrary amount of "restaurants", each with completely different marketing copy, but all ultimately delivering the exact same food. Or totally random food, if there are multiple ghost kitchens placed behind a (food ordering equivalent of) load balancer.

This makes it very hard for an established restaurant to compete on-line - from outside, the five real restaurants in your neighbourhood look no different than 20 "virtual" restaurants. There's no way to tell. In this reality, as a customer, I have to resign to expect completely random results when I try to order food. These are also perfect conditions for a race to the bottom.

When I was young I did not feel the body odor on me either. I was put in front of the spotlight before lesson that I smell and I was told to use a deodorant (the teacher told me in front of the class). I felt so ashamed. Because of this experience I am very conscious of how I smell now. Extremely so.
I don't think Walsh has made an official statement of any sort about this.

But the main controversy in the FSF right now is the reinstatement of Richard Stallman.

Here's an article about the events that led to Stallman's resignation in 2019: [1]

He has also been known to, for example, hand out "Fuck Me" cards to women he deems attractive at software conferences.

The UK has a decently high number of Jehovas Witnesses who (based on the stuff on leaflets they've put through my door) definitely don't seem to follow mainstream science on evolution.

if you crib for many words you can decode the message you are hoping for. That seems like the bias in machine learning. So you try to crib for words until the message seems appropriate for you, but maybe the decryption is not correct.
People have an extraordinary capacity to connect words to make it sound like there is some real meaning. But the decrypted words were not naturally found by the algorithm but suggested by the authors. To test my hypothesis, about the lack of credibility of such a method of decrypting, I suggest to decode the same message thinking that the author of the plaintext is someone who got rich by a lottery prize. You may try millions crib like "I like millions", "I am rich" "I will win the lottery", and the like. And finally you will communicate to your audience only the few words that work for you to "decrypt" the message.
I think the result will be something along the lines of:
You finally won the big prize, the millions are yours, congratulations.

What I am saying is trivially true for a very short plaintext, think of txyz and invent any work you like.
So there must be a trade-off between the space of solutions and the message length, a signal to noise ratio. The solution propose 3 part of the z340, and each one add new capacity to the channel of solutions. Perhaps something like the VC dimension. caveat: I am not a cryptographer.

Perhaps something like: https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/22/4/438/htm

Agreements are only as good as the intentions of people carrying them out. And laws are "Cider House rules" without consistent and ethical interpretation and enforcement. All it takes to bring it all crashing down is the excessive complacency or moral turpitude of one generation of officials.

Why isn't Deliveroo innovating so much on the technical side that the gas/delivery time savings aren't making everyone satisfied?

By now, they should have enough data to know who's going to order from where and using these predictions they can route the drivers/riders accordingly and price the delivery.

By now, they should have algorithmic innovations related to vehicle routing problem, pickup & delivery and traveling salesman so that they can reward the drivers/riders more.

Image that a single rider has a no-wait route where he's just picking up food and delivering but doing that in an efficient (not zig-zag across the city) way.
If I were you I'd take that as a sign that you shouldn't double down on work to give you a social life. If I were you I'd take this as a hint to put strict boundaries between work and personal life and try and have more of the latter.
It would be better to report those too rather than dismiss something because something else is worse.
Car safety regulations in quite a few places will require you to fully recertify a car even if you changed a stereo in it.

Some place limitations on safety critical electronics like ABS specifically requiring any modification to it being treated as a new car model for legal purposes.

Such laws are predatory, but laws they are

But even if they did find cheaper substitutes, it's not the more advanced chips which are in the most acute shortage, but really old ones, which were kept in production for decades specifically because of car industry's requirements.
People are fine with police overstepping as long as they aren't in the crosshairs.

> Sending that backup to 10 machines 2500GB - 250GB = $22.5.

They aren't doing 20x replication. They do 20+20? erasure coding, so the overhead is 2x or less.

> Being able to pay for excess egress is better at least than risking getting your contract killed by Wasabi if your egress exceeds your traffic.

You can upload dumb storage as needed in Wasabi. I assume you can do the same here.
So what if the rest of the industry is terrible, how does that make ghost kitchens acceptable?
It's ironic that you're claiming free software isn't compatible with authoritarianism while suggesting that anyone who doesn't support the Great Leader isn't welcome and should voluntarily purge themselves from the movement.

RMS wrote the original GPL and founded the FSF on his own. He difined a movement, and its principles. I call that leadership. More power to him.
Case in point. I love Vietnamese food, but ordering it over the phone from somebody who struggles with the local language is a challenge for both of us. Without a picture menu I can point at and without nonverbal cues, a misunderstanding can happen and happens.
> We all pay for this real estate not just in rent, every time we get a coffee a good chunk of that price is paying someone else's rent. In wages.

Beautifully put. This is a point I don't see often enough. Why should a system allow one person to own two homes and then rent one of them out and use it to pay off mortgages for both.

Housing is a human right. Vienna is a beautiful example of this: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/dec/12/vienna-housi...
A more fitting wording of the first point might be "The overlap between (the FSF-backed) software respecting user rights and interests and what users actually want to use in reality is minuscule."

The issue is not that the FSF failed, more that most people simply don't care enough. Similar to privacy, which in the end leads to revelations like Snowden's leaks or the Equifax data breach to be effectively shrugged off by most. Not because it's unimportant, but because in the real world it's very low on the average person's worries. Many non-tech people still struggle with sending emails or telling the difference between SMS and WhatsApp messages; issues that Stallman talks about are simply not relatable for many despite their relevance.

Which, in my opinion, makes the further development of FLOSS(or however you want to call it) software only more important. So that the typical user has a point of comparison and knows what can and should be expected from software products. That weird bugs, intransparent behaviour and dark patterns are not supposed to be the norm.
It's obvious that they intend "IN ORDER TO", because it's obvious that they aren't getting requests from law enforcement to protect users' privacy. But I do think the correct interpretation is somewhere in the middle, since they notify users while knowing that they can't do anything.
Managing a distributed network has a much lower cost structure - no capital investment for hard drives, no electrical cost for running the hard drives, no cooling costs, etc.

Not relevant if your model doesn't fit in GPU memory.
So would you rather want someone who cancels or censors disenting opinions? Dogmatism has bright days ahead apparently.

Diversity was never meant to be that everyone was supposed to think the same way, as far as I recall.
> Nobody can make a case that RMS is a swell guy, he's awful. Still, he's without a sliver of a doubt the single most influential activist for FOSS that there's ever been.

Amen to that. The sentiment around seems to ultimately be "I just don't like him because he might have made people uncomfortable, make him go away".
Ask HN: Global networking without vendor lock-in or MITM?
Is there any service that enables organizations to build a global network stack using anycast and similar "smart" routing paradigms, but without locking them into specific ecosystems (e.g. AWS, Azure) or forcing them to let the network provider decrypt all the data being transmitted over the network (e.g. Cloudflare, Fastly)?

RMS is accused of having, expressing (and sometimes retracting) contentious viewpoints. Correct me if I'm wrong and you think he's been soliciting sexual favours and/or sniffing co-workers' chairs, etc.

It seems pretty clearly 1A here. People love to bring up the mechanics of 1A ("Congress shall pass no law, etc.") and say that 1A hasn't been violated, but that really misses the point of it - namely that people can freely discuss the government and the laws.
The first thing I check on services which advertise as S3-compatible is permissions. As usual - no permissions, no ACLs. So practically it looks like anyone with an access key can wipe out everything you store with them.
Some/many of these solutions have an unstated low speed UPLOAD bottleneck. Anyone with with definitive answer(s) to that?
>A mild body-funk odor is less offensive to me than someone that uses excessive perfume, cologne, or scented soap.

Well, emphasis on excessive. There can be cloying ones, yeah. It depends though. I have both winter and summer fragrances. If I take the winter fragrance during a summer day, then it is very cloying. To work I wear a very light/subtle fragrance, something that reminds people of "cleanliness" (here at least).
You know how you get off a plane and everything about a place 3000 miles away feels different? Not just smells and heat, but the light seems different. The surfaces and materials are different. The uh...(actual) atmosphere seems different.

Is for example, the atmosphere seeming different a real physical phenomenon that could be detected by ML?

The pandemic has been brutal to traditional bands who play real instruments, but no way are they gone forever.
Use a good facewash designed for your skin. I advise having dermatologist look over your skin closely.

Do you use a conditioner after shampoo and how frequently do you shampoo?

Many shampoos can be too abrasive or contain chemicals which can be irritating for you. You might want to switch to baby version of skin products which irritate you. Sometimes, those will irritate less or not at all.

Use liquid soap which can be mixed with water instead of one that has to be applied directly to your skin.

There are bunch of tests to figure out these products for you at dermatologist.
The UK (and I would expect many countries) does not require merchants to sell anything to you if they don't want to. They're allowed to decide they don't like your money, and too bad you can't buy anything.

Some constituent countries of the UK have legal tender laws but a legal tender law only applies to debts and you have not incurred a debt when you offer to buy something.
Reading all the comments here, my reaction is 'Whoosh!". Perhaps it is possible to use Cantor diagonalization to demonstrate there are forms of humour that are not accessible to everyone?
This false dichotomy is equally toxic. Leadership always means bringing people together, not imposing one or other set of idiosyncrasies.
The catch is always in the fine print. The storage is cheap but the savings go away if you actually do anything with the data.

Storage is a foundational service in the cloud. There are huge advantages to having that storage sit adjacent to everything else. Such storage as a service somewhere else doesn’t make a lot of sense in many/most use cases. Now you’re having to pay to move data across comparatively slow networks links to where it’s actually needed. It’s a catchy headline but when putting this to the test in real world scenarios those numbers don’t pan out.
I use soap (well, shower gel) on my private parts and armpits, but places like my elbow, knees, back or feet (fortunately my feet don't sweat nor smell) regularly go for weeks or months without soap.

I can't imagine using only water for prolonged periods of time, but you can go VERY light on soap and still be a clean looking (smelling) human being.
> Without notoriety, it is unlikely the puzzle would be solved.

I literally do not care one bit about this puzzle being solved. I do care, a lot, about people not getting shot when they go to the supermarket.

You're asking that as a manager or employee? If the former, I suspect there were channels you didn't know about. If the latter, I don't know - but maybe they were channels you didn't know about :).

But the reason is, these chats are for conversations you won't feel comfortable having with your boss around. Cat pictures, stupid jokes, random topics. Even if people felt comfortable with such topics around their manager, they might still be worried that the volume of communications will be seen by the manager as evidence that people are slacking off.
