I don't see the problem in guessing what approaches would have been possible in which situation and wondering about it. Learning something new about a topic you wouldn't encounter elsewhere in discussion. Because after all, isn't that why we are here in the first place?

That aside, the idea of raising the water was valid and was ( luckily) available though nature. It wasn't mentioned before it appeared here. See: High tides.

And cofferdams could have been used when the situation was much worse. But the logistics of organizing it would have been painful ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26587692 )

Which is what followed when bringing up: "temporal dams" surrounding the ship. Which is obviously very different than "building giant elaborate dams".

But ofc, not everyone actually reads the things that are said and some just interpret their own prejudice. Degrading the whole discussion.
As a Northern European, it's such a shame to see this attitude spread in Southern Europe. You see it a lot on /r/europe these days, this idea that people in Northern Europe are biased against people from the South.

At Amazon you're encouraged (and expected) to escalate early and escalate often. Amazon security did its job very well.

>"The real security incident here is how did the intercept learn of that ticket as that should really be classified."

Looks like someone from the security or PR departments took a picture of the ticket with their cellphone and sent them to the reporter.

Security tickets are immediately encrypted and locked down. Only a few members have access typically: The person who opened the ticket, anyone with a need-to-know, and people on the IR team. Even director-level employees need to be manually added to security-related tickets to have view permissions.
It depends on the job, I think. In some positions, it is a lot more "practical" to have a command of data structures and algorithmic thinking than it is to implement fancy OO design patterns.

EDIT: A quick glance at OP's profile suggests that they are an experienced C++ programmer. I definitely think being able to handle pointers is more practical/fundamental skill than dependency injection in that context.
Corrected. The original title wasn't fitting the word limit here.
My skills are strongly in the direction of "design, build, and operate a test lab that will be used to automate collection of high quality datasets relevant to the problem of interest".

Whenever I've tried to actually use existing data to attack the problems I'm most interested in the fundamental problem is that data that is comparable between different labs doesn't exist.

And to avoid any confusion, I'm not saying it doesn't replicate, just that it's not easily comparable, like if you want to know what platinum catalysts will do over an alkene but the data you can find was done in a batch reactor with 22nm platinum and you're using a continuous flow reactor with 10nm platinum. And it's usually worse than that once you include how it's supported, what flow rates were, heating profiles, etc.

It just goes on and on if you don't do it yourself.
Yep, lots of interference with my bluetooth headphones. On Linux it gets a little better if you disable the wifi driver option for "bluetooth coexistance" (it's named slightly differently between the various drivers).

I don't actually use wifi, but I suppose it's got something to do with wifi and bluetooth being handled by the same mPCIe card.

EPA testing is a specific, defined drive cycle that is meant to reflect actual real-world use cases.

The goal isn't to maximize range in artificial conditions. The goal is to estimate how it might perform in standardized scenarios that can be repeated across different cars.
Not who you were asking, but I had a similar experience.

Ultimately what I ground my beliefs in is empathy, and the understanding that my actions have an impact on other people. The second very important piece is every human being counts equally.

Our society and inner psychology is complex. So we'll mess up and cause harm at times. Occasionally it will be intentional. But I think it's straightforward to understand committing to this as a guiding principle.

If you do that, and also agree with every human being counting equally, then I've got no problem with you or your faith. What disturbs me is how many people use religion as justification for inequality, or how they use concepts of forgiveness and grace to avoid fully owning and learning from their moral failures.
> primarily marketed towards

That's the main part. Where it's manufactured does not matter, what matters is that by using US measurement unities, they are making an implicit statement that it's a US-only product.

That right near an explicit statement that it's not US-only is somewhat confusing.
I think the modern cancel culture outmatches any cancelling happened before. Through the internet, almost any people can get “cancelled” by a large number of people. The current SNS system also amplifies negative emotions like anger, so it’s even much easier to get cancelled. Even when you do the right thing, an excerpt can render you a sexist, racist, etc.

A big problem here is that the fittest to this environment is those who do nothing, since it’s very difficult to satisfy diverse social norms that have relatively small intersection. So I think the cancel culture does oppress the freedom of speech and thoughts, since the internet won’t forget and the mob won’t forgive.
Seems like the cars didn't fall that far short, but I think the implied grievance is that Tesla is systematically optimistic about the range of their cars where other automakers (Mini Cooper, Porsche, etc) make very conservative estimates. The "surprise" being that published specifications like driving range are really marketing tools, and some companies are more aggressive than others.
I'm not sure there's a path that's flat enough to make it practical even if everything else falls into place somehow.
Has anyone ever gotten the EPA mpg estimates for their vehicle? I don't drive very aggressively, and I've never gotten even 80% of the mileage that the dealership sticker advertises.
Using the full battery (below zero) the 2021 Model 3 went 345+26 = 371 miles. Base price plus long range battery: $46,500.

The 2nd highest range among the cars tested was the Taycan at 323 miles (no adjustment for past zero was offered in the article). Base price for Taycan 4S: $104,000.

The story I'd like to understand is: Does the EPA actually publish results with one car underrated by 60% (Taycan 4S) and another overrated by 2% (2021 Model 3 LR)?
Believing that the communist countries were not religious countries is a common fallacy of the Westerners.

In reality communism was a religion and more precisely a variant of the Christian religion, but this fact was disguised by changing the names of all things related to the Christian religion.

Just a few of the correspondences between Christianity and Communism (shown as traditional word => communist word for the same concept):

Christian => atheist

Pagan => Christian

Prophets => Marx, Engels & Lenin

Holy Scriptures => the published works of Marx, Engels & Lenin

Christian martyrs => communist illegalists

Pope => general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union

Cardinals/patriarchs => general secretaries of communist parties

Priests => members of the communist parties having functions in the party hierarchy

Religious teaching in schools => Political teaching in schools

Priest of a military unit => Political second-in-command of a military unit

Heretics => oppositionists to the party leadership

Happy life in the afterlife => happy life in the future truly communist society

Holy Inquisition => Committee for State Security

... and so on.

Writing a complete dictionary about all the words used by Christianity with their replacements in Communism would take a very long time.

While the communist vocabulary looks very different, the meanings are exactly the same as in Christianity.

All the communist countries were not countries free of religion, but on the contrary, they were countries were a monotheistic-like religion was intermingled with all the administrative & government institutions and where all the other religions were aggressively persecuted, including the true atheists or agnostics (i.e. not the communist atheists, which was the code name for the believers in the communist religion).

The claim that the communist countries were not religious was just propaganda, they were countries where there was no separation between the religion and the state.

Likewise false was the claim that the communist countries had a different economic system, in reality their economic system was an extreme form of capitalism, where everything was dominated by monopolies.
Debate class is very good about teaching you how to debate in debate class. It has precious little to do with any other kind of argument.

Not that there's anything wrong with debate class. It's very good about teaching you to do research, organize, marshall arguments, speak clearly, and lots of other things. But it's notable that debate class isn't about arriving at truth -- you're expected to be able to argue either side of the debate with equal facility, and you're judged on your ability to present rather than the merit of the position you're defending.

>paid real money to a developer with reasonable credentials to work in upstream to develop this feature with apparently best of intentions.

Yes, but Netgate's TSNR is based on Linux. So it seems they will be pivoting to Linux, or at least have less emphasis on FreeBSD.

My guess is that going forward there will be less money and participation going to FreeBSD from Netgate. Whether that is a good thing or bad thing depends on your perspective.

The goal of the typical developer is to add as much complexity as possible while ensuring that the system works correctly 99.999999% of the time such that failure will not be detected for a few years - Just long enough for the project to be scrapped and rewritten by the next generation of developers.
How did you personally abandon fundamentalism and end up still identifying as Christian? I grew up learning from Ken Ham (literally shook his hand at summer camp), but I'm now a genuinely atheistic apostate and I can't comprehend what you have left of Christianity when you abandon a literal understanding of the Bible.

Young Earth Creationism pseudoscience is one reason, but there are tons of others. Ham, I think, is mostly right: Either (1) it's all true, in which case you have all the problems of fundamentalism and have to disbelieve science. Or (2) or some subset of the factual claims it makes are true - the Bible as miraculously inspired and truthful, YEC, the very existence and nature of the supernatural, Old Testament miracles, New Testament miracles, eschatology, and so on - but as Ham eloquently points out, once you abandon one of the claims that the supposedly truthful book makes, you call them all into question. Or (3) none of it is true, it's all fiction, in which case you can use whatever you want as a moral framework, but it has no special value. In that case, it's merely a socially evolved construct like every other superstition throughout the history of our species.
Is that conventional wisdom? Computational power is cheap, and it's certainly a tack that many are trying, but not exclusively. See, for instance, logicmoo.
I get the impression that whatever the FAA intended with the CTI schools, it didn't work out as they wanted. I attended a CTI school in 2013-2014 but left when they modified the hiring process to essentially devalue the CTI path. In recent years it looks like the CTI schools have clawed back a little bit more preferential treatment when it comes to weighing ATSA results, but it's not like it was before.

I don't resent it though - it sounds like at the time CTI students weren't much more successful than off the street hires at the academy, nor were the different CTI schools very consistent in their quality and curriculum. I went to a good one, and was sad to leave as it was a ton of fun, but I've heard stories of some CTI programs being little more than a few lecture-based classes and a certificate.
There still aren't Bach-equivalent counterpoint solvers. ML has been pretty disappointing for music. It can make some music-like objects, especially for short phrases, but it hasn't done a convincing job of producing the real thing.

Music is hard. It's far harder than most people realise.

Winning a game is a relatively easy problem, because you know when you have won. Music is much more nebulous. Grammatical correctness is preparatory to creative intent. Even basic metrics of correctness are rather fuzzy.

ML doesn't have any concept of intent, so it tends to flail around in a statistical space - and to sound like it.

I spent a lot of time in China and ExpressVPN was the norm for the Americans I hung out with. Sometimes though, Express would be down, and I'd spin up a Socks proxy pointing at a Digital Ocean droplet and it worked like a charm. The downside is that only web browsing over Firefox (or the browser configured with the Socks port) will use that proxy, unlike OS or non-browsing internet traffic.
I can appreciate that, I know that I would see traffic hit the old IP for >3 days. I suspect old Java clients, etc, that would resolve IPs once on startup and never again.

In our case it was worth keeping things working for a few days, but after a week at the outside we'd kill the proxying/forwarding.

I Quit My Substack After 6 Weeks and $3,700 in Revenue
Oh I actually quoted the website's source. They have that DTD meta crap in there.

But I think you can just do <html> nowadays and it empirically just works. Seriously, screw the anti-DRY people that want me to put some !DOCTYPE or xmlns tags with some W3C links or some DTD nonsense inside ... I should only have to specify "html" exactly once, no more.

If I had designed the spec I would have just made it

<html version="4.0">
<html version="5.0">
<html version="5.1">

Incredibly more readable, and memorizable. A markup language (literally), by virtue of being a markup language, should not be impossible to memorize. Making scary strings like "-//W3C///DTD" part of the spec is counterproductive.

I was raised Roman Catholic and attended Catholic schools until college. When I was in high school I recall having serious issues with what they were teaching. Here's a few of the gems they left me with:

1. You should only get married if you intended on having children.
2. If you were unable to have children, the marriage should be annulled.
3. Homosexuality was abhorrent and sinful.
4. Women should not obtain positions of power in the church. They used Adam and Eve to justify their position.

Many years later I found out that the reason why my freshman year biology teacher left unexpectedly over the summer was because he had been shuffled to another location after molesting young boys. He was eventually imprisoned for this, after being extradited to Australia. The church and the school knew this but said nothing to the parents or the students and it was swept under the rug. It was complete silence until they were forced to say something at a point where those who were molested were fairly far into their lives.

Thinking back on all of this still makes me angry today. A priest in my elementary school was brought in and then quietly and suddenly left a few months later and I am left with unanswered questions.

I don't need that in my life. I don't need religion to be a moral person, and from my point of view the system that I was raised in was very far from moral. The Catholic church has done more to affirm my Atheist .. non-beliefs? .. than anything else.
Supernatural beliefs are universal. Religion is not.

Further, Christianity was the first "religion" to insist on its exclusivity. Others were either "people" religions ("Jews believe this"), animistic/traditional spiritualities, or highly polytheistic systems that willingly absorbed or included other gods / belief systems easily.

Christians were the first to come along and say: you [anyone in humanity] will burn eternally if you don't practice this belief exclusively, only we are correct. And not only that, by the 3rd century they were executing each other for disagreements about very arcane subjects (consubstantiality, etc.) And then later killing non-Christians as well.
If they take a detour maybe they'll end up with a demerit for deviating from the optimal driving route and be docked pay - if they come back to distribution with a bottle of pee the company may also dock them for something like... I dunno "storing human waste in a vehicle used for transporting food stuffs" then dock their pay or fire them. Amazon is strongly motivated to discourage drivers from coming back to their shipping centers with bottles full of pee since either labour organizers or reporters might jump on that to use against the corporation.

All this could just be communicated through pretty innocuous sounding employee guidelines (maybe, "there can be no open bottles of liquid of any kind when a vehicle is in motion") or just word of mouth. A manager mentions to a senior driver that there will be some bonuses if nobody gets caught with a bottle of pee and that causes the initiative to disseminate through all the drivers.

There may be far fewer choices here than it appears and the best choice is probably to get OSHA involved and maybe get some new worker safety and rights legislation through congress.
The parodical logo with the Amazon smile going through the Twitter bird was brilliant.
You live in this country and church taxation is expressly forbidden by the 1st amendment for obvious reasons. I also do not attend church so that argument is moot and you can stop trying to attack me on that basis.

Being a majority on an internet forum is obviously not representative of the entirety of the US and is a pretty silly argument for changing an amendment, as is assuming that because people don't attend church they want it taxed.

Maybe you should take some time actually understanding the constitution instead of dedicating your time to inane internet attacks?

Pro tip - stop trying to control things you dislike, it's extremely anti-progressive and reeks of the same sort of intolerance ultra conservative religious groups display. Ironic eh?

Lastly, this country is not a 100% democracy and it's a Republic for a reason. That reason is so that the minority get a say in what happens and don't get stomped out. This is a good thing and you'll realize it when you're not in the majority at some point.
if you can magically copy and paste in code that also includes a dependency then you might have just screwed yourself if you didn't read the code of said dep (or even if you did, maybe you missed something) if it just looks like a comment then maybe your team missed it in review. its harder to reason about deps that live in deep modules.

Then use the commuting time you're saving now to go and make friends at the gym, at the local reading club, coffee shop, church or social centre.

I'm totally in about making friends and getting along with all coworkers, being nice to each other, etc is very important. But work is work. Despite what the "People" department says, it's not your family, not are you a "Examplecompanying".

I rant about this because I know more of one case where people missing their friend coworkers made everyone in the team have to go back so we "all work together" when people are more productive and get more job done with less distractions and more free time doing it from home.

TL;DR, look for social life out of work. Work is work.

Everyone, everywhere, favours proactive security reports, or should do so.

This however, makes it possible to make security reports for political effect - after all, if your guidelines are to report anything suspicious, nobody can fault you for doing just that.

Is it also standard policy at Amazon to leak security reports to the media, or discuss them with journalists after the fact? We both know that's not the case.
Your comment squares with that guy on the $5 bill and the penny.

“When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.”

The range estimates my 2014 Tesla provides are, at best, very generous. It is frequently generous to the tune of 50 miles on a 200 mile range. Sometimes it's dead on.

Yes, I might not always be driving the most efficiently, but even when I set the cruise and drive on a flat, constant speed I can see swings of 40 miles. I'm generally a conservative, relaxed driver and rarely exceed the speed limit, happily just cruising along in the slow lane on the right.

I no longer trust Tesla to accurately measure mileage and assume the I'll get 70-80% of the car says I will.
> I truly want all to be saved.

But what are irreligious people supposed to do when multiple large groups of people want to "save" them in mutually incompatible ways? Seeing as the largest religious group accounts for something like 30% of the world's population, being religious means at least a 70% chance of being wrong even if there is something supernatural (100% if there isn't). That's a terrible stat figure for life- (and death-)changing decisions.
