If this encryption is still the same as it used to be a couple of years ago (encfs, IIRC), it's good they aren't. I stumbled on that multiple times before I learned not to turn this shit on. Every time on a new installation (which doesn't happen that often, so it's natural I was forgetting) I chose "do encrypt" option (because why not?), it was working perfectly fine long enough for me to settle in, and then one day I would be downloading some books via torrents, and torrent wouldn't proceed because of "filepath too long" (which was very confusing, because how could that be on Ext4, given it's perfectly fine for other peers, who must be on NTFS, most likely), and I had to spend time disabling encfs (I guess it wasn't that easy either: creating a new user was the quickest option) in order for things to start working.

So, finally I learned just not to use file-based encryption, except for minor stuff like dropbox directory.
The same goes for stock, though. When we talk about billionaires, most of that money is invested somewhere. So nominally it's worth $X because it's N shares worth $Y each; but if they try to sell them all off rapidly, that would drive the price down. Finding enough buyers might also get tricky.
I use this pattern frequently, with minor changes:

function getArrow(direction) {
const missing = '¯\\_(ツ)_/¯'
const arrows = {
left: '<--',
right: '-->',
}
return arrows[direction] || missing
}
Most telecoms in the US are badly in need of breaking up.

Your comment about box office revenue is not related to their comment about the film's quality or staying power in the popular consciousness.
It doesn't sound like they're designing a new line of silicon, but rather offering up pure fab to someone like Infineon for Aurix or Renesas for R-Car or whatever their stuff is called lately.

Whether or not that's plausible or a marketing play, I'm not sure (since nobody outside of Intel really knows the details about Intel's process constraints), but it doesn't sound like they are targeting an area of competition where they would be introducing new silicon and expecting a whole iteration lifecycle. The intent seems to be drop-in replacements.
Wait. What?

This is like the Monty Hall problem to my brain.
It's worse than that. The limitations are subjective so anything can be included and Article 10 is meaningless. The UN declaration of human rights is the same. The final "right" is the right of governments to revoke all the other rights for pretty much whatever reason they feel like.
> They unwisely canceled all their orders for >6 months.

These guys hate inventory with a raging passion.
To become the richest people on Earth, they have to collect economic rent from the actual producers of wealth, which is all the rest of us. Wouldn't you want to know who is being unfairly enriched by your labor?
Indeed. That's another thing I was thinking of. Robots are terrible at manipulating floppy objects like wiring harnesses.
> The solution then would be to find a way to charge not for the copies, but for the time effort that the artist put into the production of the music.

Which is the "labor theory of value" of old man Karl Marx, one of the most thoroughly debunked theories there is.

In this case, I can spend 1000 hours recording a song that no one wants to hear, and I should not get paid for the labor I put in to it.
Intel is playing a PR angle to win hearts and minds for the homegrown semiconductor push. Even if an automotive IC move to get Congress and the public to appreciate Intel incurs a short term loss, it may be economical in the long term because there's about to be a lot of government money available to the sector.

Also, if they want to get busy with foundry, this is the way to do it. It's not like they're doing HPC processors with all the trailing node fabs.

I know an engineering researcher who uses a shaft position sensor chip that is also widely employed in EVs. They have been out of stock for months. That little chip could have major implications for many industries and communities.

Automotive ECUs solve the humidity problem by putting the boards in a pot of epoxy (talk about overkill!), and as for reliability, all my ancient computers still work just fine, the only things that ever die seems to be the capacitors or leaky CMOS batteries, i'd be happy to buy a car with an intel xeon (ECC PLEASE!) as the ECU.

I was being a bit pithy - the bitter tastebuds are giving a “false positive” and identifying something as poisonous when it isn’t (not to humans anyway - linalool, the major flavor oil in cilantro, is an insecticide, and not very healthy for many other mammal species).

Possibly there is a dangerous chemical out there found in berries/leaves/etc which is structurally similar to linalool, enough to fool certain types of bitter tastebuds.
Thanks; FWIW, I'd definitely read that blog post, and watched the talk you gave a while back (paying careful attention to the Q&A, etc. ;P). (I had had a back/forth with you a while back, actually, surrounding how you limit the memory usage of workers, and in the end sam still unsure what strategy you went with.)

BTW: if there is any hope you can help put me in touch with people at Cloudflare who work on the Ethereum Gateway, I would be super grateful (I wanted to use it a lot--as I had an "all in on Cloudflare" strategy to help circumvent censorship--but then ran into a log of issues and am not at all sure how to file them... a new one just cropped up yesterday, wherein it is incorrectly parsing JSON/RPC id fields). On the off chance you are interested in helping me with such a contact (and I appreciate if you aren't; no need to even respond or apologize ;P): I am saurik@saurik.com and I am in charge of technology for Orchid.
Personally, I learnt my bash by reading a lot of Gentoo EBUILD scripts and config files. I can recognize other Gentoo users just by how many curly braces and double quotes I see in a simple one liner.

The one resource that I have bookmarked decades ago and would highly recommend to get the ball rolling are the TLDP pages on bash:

https://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html

https://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html

https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/

Not certain if they’re up to date or error free but I really enjoy the style and tutorial/show by example nature of the TLDP
Which is why we should use something less experimental and black-boxy than machine learning and more verifiable and robust like fiducials. (Regardless of whether we're talking about using machine vision for attempts at "self-driving," autopilot, or just driver safety features like lane-keeping or auto-braking or automatic speed limit reading.)
Interestingly, this is what I was hoping it would be, and their description convinced me it was something else entirely (but I wasn't quite sure what).
> recipes are not subject to copyright.

The ingredient list and directions (process) are not copyrightable on their own, but if you add narrative text, like the history of this recipe as used at the tournament, that would work. :)
That's OK for a side project, but Heroku's selling point is that it's both easier to setup than that, and also has the resiliency, scaling and features you need for a proper production app. What happens if that EC2 instance dies suddenly or your EBS disk disappears, do you have point-in-time recovery for that DB? What about if you get an influx of traffic and suddenly need to scale beyond what a single server can do (which is admittedly pretty high). How about logging, deploys of a live copy of your site for each feature branch, etc? You can of course solve all those problems, but to solve all of them and do it as well as Heroku does will be a lot of work.

That said over time as the hosted k8s solutions have gotten better Heroku has comparatively become less compelling, plus while Heroku can get to a large scale, you will eventually start to run into limitations with what you can run inside a dyno which would force you to move to something else. Since you'll have a 12-factor app though, it's relatively easy to migrate, the hard part is finding a new platform which doesn't feel like a massive downgrade vs Heroku.
I did not say, or imply, that westerners invented slavery in Africa. I don’t think that idea is at the core of the widespread understanding that westerners exploited Africans by buying and selling millions of African slaves and using them to develop their colonies. I don’t see any misconception here to correct.

Yep, just with a stuxnet level of sophistication.
I am an artist and I just spent today pretty high, drawing stuff.

Such a sad perspective of innovation... new ideas don't always result in better technology, but they're certainly not aimless.

The problem is fabs need massive scale. If Intel loses the scale it won’t have the ability to invest at a good cost base in new generations and risks falling behind.

Profits today, decline tomorrow. Blackberry revenues grew for several years after the iPhone, but they were doomed.

This is Intel’s challenge. Present profits are misleading. The CEO recognizes it and they have a good shot of turning things around though.
I used to really enjoy PG's articles, but these days he seems to be trying to publicly talk himself into something he already believes.

His conclusions jumped out at me:

> You would think, after having been on the side of labor in its fight with capital for almost two centuries, that the far left would be happy that labor has finally prevailed. But none of them seem to be. You can almost hear them saying "No, no, not that way."

There may be some assumptions under which this makes sense, but they are not expressed in the article.

The power of labor in terms of pay, working conditions, political influence, or any measure I can think of is at a 50-year low in the US. And since labor makes up the vast majority of jobs, it's not just the "far left" who needs to be concerned about them.

Being able to raise money from a capitalist (venture or otherwise) who will then own part of the enterprise is pretty much the definition of capitalism. It's a good thing, but the success of capitalism is not automatically a victory for labor.
It’s not super hard to run your own s3 or peer with wasabi and pay flat transit rate (probably like 10x cheaper than your s3 egress)

Except it doesn't matter if their only "innovation" is normalizing using sewer tunneling type equipment with sewer tunneling type costs. That's a MASSIVE advantage over the insane costs we have for tunneling projects in the US.
Yeah. Seems more likely that art was made everywhere and that only the art in the caves away from the weather survived.

Perhaps there is no way to make torch small enough to not be deprived of oxygen, but it seems plausible that you'd be fine if the flame was small enough and no one else was there.

I've been in small man-made caves and they are very tiny.
Yes, Flutter is “sponsored” by other money making teams inside Google. It is why resources have been spent on Flutter for Web, which no one asked for - the Ads team essentially bought the feature for their usage. This was also how React Native got its start in Facebook.

So my read of Flutter is it’s a way for talent to “ship and get promoted” inside Google or to support other Google product teams. Everyone else is a secondary priority.
> We don’t need more new tech. We need better applications of old tech.

“Better application” + “old tech” ≡ “new tech”.
Thank to the Heroku pricing back in the day, I learned how to host and manage my little setup on my own on Linode.

> Now that a TSLA token exists you could provide to a pool for interest since it doesn't pay a dividend.

Explain further. Why would you be able to have the benefits of owning wine or TSLS and also earn interest on it. That’s your cake and eating it too.

There must be a risk element to the liquidity pool. What risk exposure are you taking by depositing TSLA stock there that you can’t get through normal finance?
Whether or not it should, it may fail for any kind of glob.

This could be either because the glob ends up unintentionally matching something:

$ var='*'; touch xfoo xbar
$ [ x$var == x"hello" ]
bash: [: too many arguments

$ var="Rocky_[1976].jpg"; touch xRocky_7.jpg
$ [ x$var == x"Rocky_[1976].jpg" ]
(false, should be true)

or because you have something like nullglob or failglob enabled:

$ var="Rocky_[1976].jpg"; shopt -s nullglob
$ [ x$var == x"hello" ]
bash: [: ==: unary operator expected
No they don’t. In fact they give you a 50% discount on the remaining months of the contract you agreed to.

You can also choose to subscribe by the month, and can cancel at any time.
ULA did and has done mostly fixed price contracts. (This is different than, say, the SLS contract.)

But ULA was stuck with their approach for several reasons, only a couple of which were in their control.
Digital Ocean App Platform and Render are both easy to use and a lot cheaper than Heroku.
Dollar for dollar, fab is not as labor intensive as many other forms of manufacturing. Even if it were, the occasional loss of product due to infrastructure problems in underdeveloped areas would offset labor cost. It makes sense to locate in one area where you can count on reliable infrastructure and negotiate good rates due to your massive scale.

Fabs use a lot of water and electricity. Samsung announced that it was considering a new investment in Austin, then the Texas storms hit. A few days later, Samsung announced that it was considering a new investment in Austin or somewhere else.

Intel already operates several fabs in the US and other first world countries so I don't know what onshore would mean in this context, but Gelsinger has made it pretty clear that he believes our best bet is to make chips at American fabs run by American companies. So I guess that is a yes.

The Redis example particularly stands out for me. For the longest time Redis was hailed as a shining example of open source success – small group (mostly a single developer) working on lightweight, performant, easy-to-use, free (in terms of both cost and freedom) software which beat out several goliaths in the space.

Now the biggest call to action on its official website is to sign up for a trial subscription. New features are hidden behind an enterprise version that you have to contact sales to get the price of.
From the screenshot in the Tweet, it looks like cancelling incurs the fee and causes you to immediately lose access to the apps.

If it were merely making you pay what they were contractually owed for the remaining months of your current year, you should retain access to the apps for those remaining months too.

Yeah, I've done it once each from both outside the 7 (spin made it bounce in the gutter, managed to jump out just enough to bump the 7, which scooted over to fall onto the 10 and tip it) and inside (like this clip has, bouncing off the wall).

I average about 130 per game. Mine were definitely not due to skill, just number of games - I grew up close enough to a $1/game-on-Thursdays alley, and my family went to it a lot for a few years.

I'm kinda boggled that this isn't on camera more often tbh. Maybe 7/10s are just a lot less likely for professionals? My rate of them has seemed to go down as I started throwing faster.

No, you're ignoring where he answered the point. You're not answering his argument, you're trying to pretend that he never made it.

I'll admit I had to look fairly hard to find where he did, but he did in fact answer that. (Not saying that I necessarily agree with his answer, but he gave it. Refute it rather than saying he's dodging answering.)
Taking offense at a bit of Latin doggerel which wasn't even addressed directly at you is lame, javert.

The cancellation fee is 50% of what you still owe on your contract.
I don't think this covers all of this - but I feel like the reason it could never be investigated is that most of these things are only unprofitable because of the administration. Not on a per item basis.

Netflix may lose money on their show but clearly by giving you a month free and then charging just $12 a month they are making money on that unit. AirBNB is making money on each additional rental they do even if historically that didnt cover all marketing and tech.

For a store selling berries if they buy it for $3 and sell it for $2 then it is more tangible (though Im sure today they could just call it marketing)
Interesting. I always wondered why IrfanView -> Image -> Convert to Grayscale doesn't look quite right
That’s one thing I noticed in aerospace. The executives would far sooner run out of parts and have very expensive delays in order to hit turnover targets than to have a 2 month buffer to handle demand surges or scheduling variability. Then they’d leave for similar roles at bigger companies.
I mean, Elastic was successful because of license arbitrage; to complain about said arbitrage when Amazon does it is ... well, it's hard to feel a lot of sympathy.
You can't exactly compare a capital intensive manufacturing company to a smartphone company. The capital assets involved in what Intel does are so substantial that it would take time to unseat them in the best of circumstances, let alone right now when even semiconductor equipment companies are complaining that they can't get the chips they need for their machinery.

Cody was my first thought as well.

Then it went to him recollecting the heavy water that has passed through him. Which is very Cody, but also, well, gives off strong Howard Hughes vibes.

Cody is a heck of a smart person, but then does some pretty questionable stuff. His mercury vids are a good example. Like, I believe him when he says that if you don't have open wounds, you can slosh mercury about in your mouth safely. But for the life of me, I just can't think it's actually safe.

Or the time he was sweeping the center median of a freeway at night trying to collect platinum dust from catalytic converter exhaust. Yeah, it was under the lights, but daytime would obviously have been better.

Or his noble gas vids. Inhaling them seems safe per his description, but the vibe is just so, well, not safe.

A lot of his vids are like that. It feels very early-1800s-chemist, back when they had to taste all the reactions cuz they didn't have pH paper. Like, it all has to be sensorial for him/the views.

Great guy though.
