The quick and dirty way is to somehow tie their power/privileges/financial-situation to that of those who they have power over. (And make it stick for many years.)

There's a big missing culture of fixing problems in corporations. Which of course must start with acknowledging the problem. Which of course means that people reporting problems shouldn't face negative consequences. Which means that the current cultural gap is not just a nice empty void, it's an actively hostile roiling psychological chasm of corporate warfare.

So if random CEO knew about some problems that actively harmed the employees and did nothing, and later a court says that the company did wrong, the CEO automatically has to pay some fines too.

And it should be possible to share (but not completely delegate) this responsibility down the corporate hierarchy, to incentivize executives/VPs/managers/team-leads to do the right thing.

Of course this would need a political culture that is motivated to develop, fine-tune and enforce such a framework. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Every time I am on a motorway in Belgium I wonder why they have such a huge amount of streetlights on highways. Maybe because it doesn't matter anymore in terms of light pollution? :D
My new M1 constantly freezes, and I’m pretty sure it’s because of chrome. Or the secret SSD thrashing design flaw that Apple is hoping nobody talks about till they quietly fix it.

Was a bit disappointing. I was like, finally! A new thing! I’m freeeeeee..... wait no it still freezes, I miss sandy bridge, etc.
Yeah, I'd like to upgrade my gaming system (4970k and a GTX1080ti) but past wanting to play at 4k and experience ray tracing there is almost no reason to do so.

Now, if the 3080 was actually available at MSRP I'd probably have upgraded, but that's at least a year away from happening.
Are you fundamentally a data storage business or are you another business that happens to store a tremendous amount of data?

If it's the former, then investing in-house might make sense (a la Dropbox's reverse course).
Can you elaborate on what the >10PB of data is and why it’s important to your startup? Is it archived customer data, like backups? Or is it data purchased from vendors for analysis and ML?
Well, 100% of my development tools are Windows only so I can't really give it a try, sorry :-)
I would host in a datacenter of your choice and do a cross connect into AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/pricing/

This allows you to read the data into AWS instances at no cost and process it as needed since there is 0 cost for ingress into AWS. I have some experience with this (hosting using Equinix)
I thought maybe people would be generally unhappy in those circumstances but maybe not. As for numbers I'd only looked at age group and yeah it didn't seem to go much higher than middle age.

Again, it was just a thought that crossed my mind and I decided at best it didn't account for the whole drop.

No, appealing to some billionaire's retold saying is not going to make me prioritize anecdote over data. I am not denying a mental health crisis, merely saying that it appears that suicides have declined. I understand that is counterintuitive.

If date info is critical in your search, I suggest to use the Tools->Custom range instead of `before:`/`after:`.

They are almost identical but if you use Tools one, it shows the date of each search results directly on listing, which is very helpful.

This article demonstrates that the Newton’s second law involving a system monotonically moving to a higher state of entropy, is wrong.

Maxwell’s demon and it’s experimental incantations show that this is true at multiple scales. For another example, a sheet of graphene and two diodes also acts as an energy pump, although tiny.

>Fisher engaged Autopilot while the car was in motion on the track, then set the speed dial (on the right spoke of the steering wheel) to 0, which brought the car to a complete stop. Fisher next placed a small, weighted chain on the steering wheel, to simulate the weight of a driver’s hand, and slid over into the front passenger seat without opening any of the vehicle’s doors, because that would disengage Autopilot. Using the same steering wheel dial, which controls multiple functions in addition to Autopilot’s speed, Fisher reached over and was able to accelerate the vehicle from a full stop. He stopped the vehicle by dialing the speed back down to zero.

If anyone is curious how to do it. From https://www.consumerreports.org/autonomous-driving/cr-engine.... Personally I wouldn't call it too easy to do; That summation makes me think it would be possible on a whim with no forethought (surely a wealth of the scenarios where someone would choose to do this), but looking at the picture in the article they needed a setup with a large weight (but not too large) tied around a length of rope (also something I don't have available on demand in my car and would have to go somewhere and buy).

I'm not saying a drunk idiot at home with some unusual materials couldn't do it but it's not as simple as something you can do anytime you feel like it.

On the topic of better systems to get the driver to look at the road: "By comparison, BMW, Ford, GM, Subaru, and others use camera-based systems that can track the movements of a driver’s eyes and/or head position to ensure that they’re looking at the road. Some vehicles—including those equipped with GM’s Super Cruise—can automatically slow to a stop if they detect that drivers have ignored repeated warnings to look at the road."

We shouldn't forget that there's a lot of prior art on this area of human-machine relations. One place where we've had automated driving for ages is in train/subway and getting their conductors to pay attention even when they don't have anything to do for hours on end is something that's been struggled with. I recall that they've tried things like adding a button that they have to press periodically, but it doesn't work (the brain still can't help falling asleep and it will automatically interact with the button). Same for other more advanced things like making them input some more complicated action to show they're awake. The brain's just too good at ignoring things it realizes aren't necessary. I think one of the best solutions, maybe the only solution that's been foolproof, is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_and_calling. Not sure how we would utilize that idea for self driving cars though.
Well there was also a rumor that Yellen is going to propose a large crypto tax. That impacted crypto only.
10PB with their pricing calculator comes out to over $60,000/mo. Feels like a lot.

The double-facedness pisses me off:

When it's digital, you're only buying the right to watch something, not to own your copy.

When it's physical, you're only buying your copy, not the right to watch it indefinitely.

The odds are always slanted to favor Hollywood: they get to make you pay to watch the same title every time the viewing technology changes (VHS -> DVD -> digital), but also use the
specter of piracy to curtail your rights with what you did buy.

Went from 64GB to 8GB. Didn't notice a difference - infact it is better. I kind of get your mindset but they have done some fuckery somewhere to get it to work so good.
It's going to depend entirely on a number of factors.

How are you storing this data? Is it tons of small objects, or a smaller number of massive objects?

If you can aggregate the small objects into larger ones, can you compress them? Is this 10PB compressed or not? If this is video or photo data, compression won't buy you nearly as much. If you have to access small bits of data, and this data isn't something like Parquet or JSON, S3 won't be a good fit.

Will you access this data for analytics purposes? If so, S3 has querying functionality like Athena and S3 Select. If it's instead for serving small files, S3 may not be a good fit.

Really, at PB scale these questions are all critically important and any one of them completely changes the article. There is no easy "store PB of data" architecture, you're going to need to optimize heavily for your specific use case.

> Now that I've finished reading, I'm curious why the Chrome team didn't optimize GetLinkedFonts since it's the obvious culprit to my eye.

That's the point of the article: `GetLinkedFonts` is the "obvious culprit", but it's the fallback to the fallback, it should not be getting called in the first place. It doesn't really matter that it's slow because it should almost never be called.

And then, I assume they fixed (or will fix) the cache so that it'd cache failures, so GetLinkedFonts would only be called once per failure instead of being called over and over again, only for failure (as successes would get cached after the first one).
To be fair, the data scientists rarely have the foresight to know what the data scientists need the information for. The only time I've seen a data scientist correctly include all the data they needed (but still be wrong) was when they answered "All of it. We need all of the data".
Not even remotely surprising. In fact this was on the ballot so you know where you peers fall on this sort of thing.

You can definitely serve way more than a few GB per month through Cloudflare on the free plan. I serve tens of terabytes a month for free. If OP needs to serve hundreds of terabytes per month they may get an email asking to upgrade, but the backblaze/Cloudflare setup would probably still be the cheapest. BunnyCDN is great too.
It matters in one obvious substantive way, but there's a valid philosophical question as to whether person A who was depressed enough to attempt and fail at suicide is better or worse off than person B who successfully completed the act.

Person A is very likely still depressed and in mental pain. Person B is not. Now, if person A "recovers" and goes on to experience many good years of life, maybe then they're better off, but right now, they may believe that they are worse off than person B.

Having all students through Grade 10 taking the same classes will inevitably result in watering down the curriculum, as the material and expectations will have to accomodate the slowest students. Replacing Algebra 1 with "Algebra concepts" is like replacing cheese with "cheese food."
> Intel sells CPUs, so it creates the ranges of CPUs to make money. They advertise clock speed and put the higher ones on a pedestal, that is how they can charge more money.

How is any of this specific to Intel?

Apple uses M1 at different clockrates in different devices. And that's not only due to battery and heat concerns, but also because those M1 are rated to run without errors at different clockrates.

Similarly the new iMacs come with two types of GPU: 7 core (cheap), and 8 core (more expensive). The 7-core ones had one core disabled because it was defective.

What Intel does reflects the simple reality of producing microchips. Some units turn out better than others. So you sell them at different prices. It's the same for AMD. It's the same Apple.

> Apple has a lot going for it in that scenario. They never had proliferation of models and always kept the number of options to a minimum.

Yet.

Just a note though, you could centralize git-bug. Standardize/build on what git-bug is doing, and just don't expose the bug data in the same repo as the code. You then just need the extra bits of centralized administration.
We almost certainly have not. I would expect at the very least an increase in PTSD cases. I might speculate there could be an increase in other anxiety disorders, for instance, social anxiety or mild agoraphobia. Although it isn't totally clear, there is some suggestion from the research that the number of prior depressive episodes is a risk factor for having another one [0].

The GPD Win 3: A New Alternative for the Nintendo Switch
I work in the sector (offshore renewables and O&G), here are a couple of interesting ones:

1. Short installation window: they can only install this machine when the tides are changing (i.e. not much flow), so they only have a couple of hours to collect the moorings and it hook it up to the grid

2. Fatigue: loads of areas, not just the turbine blades... variable loading on the mooring lines, vortex induced vibration of the power offtake cable, wave induced motion on the offtake cable

On the two you mentioned:

Marine growth (barnacles etc.) is generally manageable with anti fouling paints, or PTFE (teflon) coatings, wipers and bearings around the things that you don't want to seize up. The animals will have a hard time getting a footing in this high flow environment anyway, it'll be pretty well self cleaning.

Saltwater / corrosion is also manageable with coating systems, cathodic protection and large corrosion allowances.

While these two do cause issues, they're kinda "solved", you can generally apply the same straightforward techniques and they don't take up as much engineering effort as solving the installation, system design and fatigue.
I picked my first asparagus of the season today. 1 spear split 4 ways at breakfast. :)
We read it cover to cover (this was a mistake as the book is just way too long). We usually covered a chapter in each meeting. I recommend picking one or two chapters that you need to focus on. They also have a shorter version that was released a couple of years ago you might want to look at first.

Every meeting started with five minutes of writing on post-it notes how the contents of the chapter related to us (6-10 people in each meeting). Each person then put their post-it notes on a whiteboard. We had several categories to put the notes into (like "good"/"bad"/"how to apply"). This encourages people to read as they need to actively participate and contribute in the discussion. However, this book is not for everyone, some will definitely find it boring and dry. I think it is more fun the deeper you are involved in data related issues.

The end of the meeting consisted of us summarizing the results to see if people were experiencing the topic similarly. We had several stakeholders in the reading group and they were from different siloes in the enterprise. It was nice to see that a lot of the experience was shared and there was general agreement regarding feedback.

One memorable takeaway was the realization that we needed a data dictionary. That eventually led to a pilot project.

>Apple lost a ton of money due to that problem, both directly in paying for repairs, and indirectly in damage to their stock price.

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL

I don't see any evidence that Apple's stock price was affected. Apple can ship any garbage (they shipped a keyboard they knew was defective for three years) and people will buy it because they're locked in to Apple's services, another reason they're pushing services so hard at the expense of the rest of the company.

To be fair, purchasing and hosting even the most basic mirrored RAID array of that scale comes to well over half a million for the disks alone. Then you need to manage them.
Sure, but poorly written documentation isn’t what I’m talking about. For every bit of poorly written documentation there’s probably already a tool with great documentation that’s been doing it better for much longer than whatever you may be working on.

Returning to my MITM proxy example, there is a python tool already called `mitmproxy`. A search will tell you that but the site will tell you how to use it. A quick search on how to use it will bring up too many resources with the actual documentation not really ranked as the top result. Even though it should be, it could reinforce stackoverflowing everything. Constantly using dated secondhand advice is not ideal in my opinion.
Take any credits you can get from a provider switch and then thoroughly map out your access patterns, ingestion, and egress. Do whatever you can to segment data by your needs for availability and modification.

If it's all archival storage then it's pretty straight forward. If you're on GCP you take it all and dump it into archival single region DRA (Durable Reduced Availability) storage for the lowest costs.

Otherwise, identify your segments and figure out a strategy for "load balancing" between standard, nearline, coldline, and archive storage classes. If you can figure out a chronological pattern, you can write a small script that uses the gsutils built-in rsync feature to mirror over data from a higher grade storage class to a lower one at the right time.

The strategy will probably be similar in any of the other big 3 providers as well, but fair warning, some providers archival grade storage does not have immediate availability last I checked.

See:
https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/storage-classes

Do we have any real trials coming? It would be great to know if this was a safe strategy in general so that we can quickly spin up low-risk "stopgap" vaccines in the future.

My employer thinks I shouldn't comment on social media at all because people might think I'm commenting in an official capacity. Their line is "don't use social media", so if there's a comment where an argument could be leveled against me that "people think this is a part of your employment" I indemnify myself against that argument.
