> For example, SolarWinds now conducts a two-way build. The code is pulled from source code control, built, hashed, then decompiled and compared back to the original, to ensure what ships is what was coded and nothing more or less.

This seems like a high-labor and error-prone way to detect a possible integrity compromise of your build infrastructure. Maybe they've done this, but what software shops need to do is better control the integrity of their build infrastructure and the confidentiality of their code signing keys.

Ideally, build infrastructure would be immutable (resistant to unauthorized change), burnable (defeats persistence), and auditable (changes need to authorized and logged). The build infrastructure itself would produce auditable artifacts from the build, including hashes of input files, compilers, etc.
What would it take to have this as a desktop app?

This was supposed to be in the article but, I'll be honest, I wrote it over a vacation and stopped and started several times and some things got lost in the shuffle. I find IS-IS particularly interesting because, to summarize somewhat aggressively, TCP/IP first went into use basically without any working gateway protocols. So in early IP networks it was very common to use a full chunk of the OSI layer (IS-IS and CLNP) just to use IS-IS with IP prefixes shoehorned in, as the "IP" gateway protocol. OSPF is basically exactly this but formalized and running IS-IS over IP so you don't need the lower OSI layers. I'm sure there are still some IP networks out there today using the OSI stack for promulgating IP routes, it seems to still be well supported by all the vendors.

Hard to say. On the corp side, it depends on the professionalism and image the account and public personality is expected to uphold.

It could be a good idea for such accounts to be held by a social media commenting approval dept acting as an extra layer of humans to double-check, e.g., "do you really want to post this as-is?"
If they have good arguments against unionization, I don't think it would be necessarily against their interest to have employees hear the other side as well.

Maybe these unions can achieve what no government nor VC funded competitor could: Bring down this behemoth.

On the other hand: The growth trajectory for AMZ (ie. being the sole "shop" in, say, 20 yrs) will make the accumulated expenses for GM-UAW-style shenanigans look like peanuts.
Truly genuine answer:

It depends and is too early to tell. Specifically, it depends on whether this is a random ad hoc labor curfuffle (sp?) or a catalyst for increasing union sympathy and adoption.

You don’t need lidar to make the good choice to slow down significantly in a snowstorm or to not drive the car at all when you encounter a heavy one.

I also doubt human brains are the best at visual processing. Certainly at subtasks, quite a few animals are better.

In particular, I would think the night vision of nocturnal animals are better at that “detecting cars in a snow storm” task than middle-aged humans wearing not quite correct glasses.
1. To believe in something unobservable by conventional means.

2. To value something over anything else.

The word "atheist" clearly implies the first, and he never explains what meaning of the word "atheist" he uses in his "there are no atheists". So this is either a rhetorical trick, or a tautology that defines "atheist" as, roughly, "someone who doesn't value anything that much", but never goes anywhere with this definition.

I know they're not. I am literally arguing that if they're going to sit there and say "nice job you've got there... wouldn't it be too bad if you lost it," and then "invite" you to a "mandatory information session," which you can "freely" choose not to attend, then the union should get equal time at this session.
You are forgetting that many faults are from more or less design issues on the particular product revisions so there is a lot to be said for identifying the fault pattern once, then just applying it over and over again. Then, the cost you are competing with is the replacement cost for typically the entire logic board, which can easily be $800 - that buys a lot of hours.

That said there is a kernel of truth here which is that component level repair requires diagnostic acumen, creativity and some mechanical skill. That requires some actual expertise, training, .. in your repair business instead of hiring monkeys that replace full boards no matter what.

That ain't how I interpreted the above comment.

Right, but at what cost? It seems very much like something that just replaces one problem with another, at best (and at worst, introduces more problems while the existing ones don't go away).

But hey, as long as it's voluntary, who am I to judge?
>The US dollar is multiple centuries old

Fiat currencies aren't backed by commodities... the modern fiat dollars we have used since 1970 are very different from what existed before that point in history. It can be and should be considered a separate currency.

You seem to not know the history of money/fiat currencies and make a lot of assumptions about things that are not based in reality.

Being in this space since 2013-2014 doesn't mean you have a good grasp of the tech or the economics. Many people that arrived at the btc maximalist position in the last 6-12 months have more of a basic understanding of these topics, I can tell from your responses.

Unfortunately this is growing too long for me to respond to and I gave it a good go, so I will let the market teach you the rest of this lesson (warning - the market is a harsh teacher). I would have to give you a course in monetary/economic history to adequately do this topic justice and this is not the format that is best suited to do it in.

Good luck holding on to fiat as a store of value.
What do you mean by ''magic components''? One of the core point of EGB is that human consciousness has a property of spotting ''unintended symbolic patterns'' created by an underlying system (ex: a piece of music written by Bach). EGB also touch the point that consciousness might itself be one of these pattern, overlying the mechanical biological machine which is the brain.

'' the brain == consciousness '' is a risky statement, since consciousness also appears to act as an an intermediary between the ''outside'' reality and the brain (ex: placebo effect, being scared during a nightmare, being stressed after a nightmare, etc).

Does the brain has magic components and can AI replicate it? If you write a pseudo-code program which replicates consciousness, will a brain appear? Programing languages are languages. Can languages replicate reality? I do not think so, and there is no ''magic'' in my opinion.

We were only briefly religious growing up to satisfy some elders in the family, but in truth the community around our church was no stronger or any different than any other family based community we were in while growing up. You could have a just as strong of a family community with your kid in rec league sports, for example, because ultimately people just want to have a good time and you don't need a belief system for that when a plate of food will do.

Agree completely. While both texts do largely focus on people of Jewish origins, there is not a lot of actual overlap on content. Some of the NT books are seen as prophetical, so that lines up to some degree - but even those read very different.

It's not just content that differs either - the literary style of the NT also deviates greatly, since it borrows much more from hellenized culture than the OT. Especially the synoptic gospels. For example, John, was composed using a layered "onion" type narrative structure which was popular in other greek texts.

They're even so different, that one form of heresy that was more common back in the day (Gnosticism), would sometimes claim that the OT deity was a false-god (the demiurge), because how else do you explain such a personality change?

Self reply because I'm bored:

While I'm at it, I thought they could have done so much more with the world, to be honest. It was very disappointing to encounter the limits of this game.

Major areas that appear on the map are completely inaccessible, such as the stadium, the crashed airship, the arasaka waterfront, the biotechnica flats, and a lot of pacifica. They appear as buildings on the map, but you are invisible walled from actually going there.

Other areas are just blatantly unfinished. North Oak, supposedly the richest part of the city with the most advanced technology and best environment, consists of two mansions. The city center features awesome towering skyscrapers, none of which you can enter, or even go on the roofs. I was so excited to get the double jump in this game, only to find that there is no collision for most building roofs, so you can't really do much parkour.

And there just aren't much rewards for creative exploration even in the finished areas. Most districts are pretty much just backgrounds to a "key block" of the level, meaning that in a given district, 99% is empty NPCs and buildings and 1% of it actually is very detailed and well thought out. For instance, the area surrounding jig jig street is basically useless, as is the skyscraper market zone, the only interesting parts to explore are jig jig street / skyscraper market itself, both of which are inaccessible except for the story missions.

Finally, the actual such "good levels" themselves are very dull. There are basically two types of detailed, self contained levels (dungeons) in the game - seedy markets and warehouses. I hope you like that stuff because up until the very end of the game you are stuck in these environments with like 1 exception (peralez apartment). I personally wanted to explore cool cyberpunk locations such as factories, labs, airships, skyscrapers... nope. Just two story warehouses, over and over and over.

Overall, I can't recommend this game if you are an "exploration" type gamer.
800k around the country isn't anything to a few K employed in a key district.
> What would be the purpose of loading disintegrating box anyway?

UPS sometimes breaks boxes they deliver. They just re-tape it and finish delivery. Sometimes everything is there, sometimes something is lost and you need to file a claim.

This robot at least needs to recognize broken box and hail human in such case.
>then the union should get equal time at this session.

Why? They're not footing the bill. I'd agree with giving the union the option to do this, if they can compensate amazon equal to the hourly wage that the workers are paid, but I doubt labor unions have enough of a bankroll to make this viable.
Knowing the area, I would doubt it is voted on favorably. Many people in the South are very leery of unions, and that's without people running PR for/against it.

Well about that. There is presently a case before SCOTUS regarding a law in California that allows union organizers to go onto private farm property and sell their message to the workers there if the workers quarters are not accessible to organizers otherwise up to some defined amount of time for up to some defined amount of days out of the year.

I’m not a big Tesla fan because I dislike their lack of quality control. On the other hand I do like how they single handedly proved viability of electric cars and jump started the market. I am not a shareholder.

I agree the analysis was unfair to Tesla and bad science. Tesla gets hit by both extremes, people who love to bash them and people who love to defend them. Both extremes don’t bother questioning shoddy analysis if it proves their point. Yeah this is common with basically every topic, but with Tesla it’s extra visible.

This new test seems slightly better in that they appear to have run the two non Tesla’s at the same time, but it still doesn’t sound like measuring the same thing as the epa.
This is going to backfire so hard if it passes. Amazon will not accept becoming a Union shop they will fire everyone, automate what they can, and hire new people for what they can't and start firing people every year if they need to.

100% unskilled labor can't successfully unionize anymore. In the old days they had the mob and strategic use of violence to force the Union into a position of power but that is no longer possible.
So quick math.

Bitcoin is a $1.6TB market valuation. $2.1B represents around .1% of that value.

So the total capitalization dropped $160B when someone removed $2.1B in value? That is a multiplier of 80 times.

I think this should count as a bug in Rustc.

If your compiler generates IR that's just awful enough that it's a coin toss whether the backend can optimize it, whereas it can optimize the "naive" IR you'd write by hand, it's a compiler problem, not a backend problem.

Tesla uses CV, radar, and ultrasonic. But ultrasonic is just for parking type measurements, up to 36" or so.

Even if they had perfect FSD, that lead wouldn’t be unassailable.

On the contrary, it would tell would-be competitors that the goal can be reached, and what it would approximately cost.

They would do the math and see whether that’s worth it financially. Even if it weren’t (say because Tesla would license the tech for pennies), I think the likes of China still would spend the money to create a competitor.

This may be splitting hairs a bit, because we all agree that this is a good example where using Rust in this straightforward manner leads to suboptimal performance. But I agree with the grand parent that this is mainly an issue with safety, not with the type system itself.

To show why, consider two alternative languages.

“Weak Rust”: an equally safe Rust with a weaker type system. It might not distinguish & and &mut, but it would still need those checks, because you might use those shared references to break a data structure invariant. It would have to detect such unsafe usage at runtime and raise the equivalent of Java’s ConcurrentModificationException.

“Unsafe Rust”: a less safe Rust with an equally strong type system. It wouldn’t need to do those checks. In fact, that’s basically C++.
