You couldn't copy a Laser Disc though, so the only way to obtain one was either physcially steal it or you know, pay for it. VHS copies could be made, and were, of the Laser Disc. This is what scared the studios of DVD since the quality was so much better than VHS dubs. Macrovision was a joke to get around. Almost as easy as DeCSS. Macrovision bypass just took some extra video gear (something with a TBC), so it was slightly harder than the free DeCSS library. Betamax didn't last long enough for a copied gray market to come along in my area, so I don't have first hand experience with difficulties of beta dubs.

can you share what makes you think fresh broccoli is better than frozen broccoli?

I can see why fresh would be better if you were planning on eating the broccoli raw or perhaps steamed, but since I mostly use broccoli in soup or stir fries, it ends up fairly thoroughly cooked. In which case I don't believe I would notice a difference.

I purchase frozen vegetables (stuff like brocc, cauliflower, peas, carrots) because they come pre-chopped, last near indefinitely so I don't have to worry about finishing them before they rot, and whatever amount I want at that moment can just be poured out of the bag, pre-chopped, into whatever (usually single pot) meal I am making.

> assuming you can trust somebody more or less depending on their legal jurisdiction says a lot about your company's culture

So are you saying that all countries have the same laws, and all those laws are equally enforced?

If one of my US employees embezzles money from a client using Stripe credentials, I can easily find and prosecute that person (as long as they're still in the US). Anyone US employee would know this and weigh it against their reasons for wanting to embezzle in the first place (if they have any).

If one of my employees in (let's say) Pakistan did the same thing, there is absolutely nothing I can do. I have no recourse. They would easily get away with it.

It is common and normal to trust people more when they're in the same jurisdiction as you and abide by the same laws.
If you cling to subsidies as the only way your method of transportation can continue to work, what does that say about you?

A posted salary is good, a posted range better than nothing, but I'd personally rather see all salary information made public, with names attached.

I work for the University of California, so my salary is a matter of public record, along with all state employees. So be it. The sky hasn't fallen.

One big problem with making salary info public is that if it is one sided (some firms do this and others don't), it can place the firms that do make it public at a disadvantage. There are also some issues with the government forcing private firms to disclose this information.

At the very least, I'd say that any firm using the H1-B visa should be required to make all salaries public, not just salaries for H1-B hires. If you're going to claim that you can't hire (or retain) staff and need a special visa for this, let's see those numbers. I'm not saying I don't believe it, just that it's hard to take this seriously when they are very secretive about their own information but want the power to decide who is going to be permitted to live and work in the US and at what salary.

If you want to keep it private, that's fine, you just don't get the power to bestow temporary residency for the purposes of working for your firm.

You are simply embracing yourself at this point. Prime minister and minister of the interior? Clearly not military positions.

Holy cow. This! Exactly this! It happened in big corp., I am working at right now. As an engineer, I just watched it happen. When I tried to explain to other engineers, most didn't get it. Only a few got the trajectory we were put in by higher ups for credits they were aiming to get. But those few were onboard or powerless as me.

We just observed it happen. As the engineers, we did our job best we could regardless. Things broke, we fixed. Somethings rolled back, and even for those they claimed credit & celebrated for re-inventing the wheel.
It didn’t scale to large projects, though.

Surely it depends on the diameter of the water column. For diameters much less than a rain drop, surface tension will dominate, and perhaps no column is produced (unless initially at high velocity, like water cutting?). For larger diameters air pressure will keep the column in shape at initiation. For very large diameters I am fairly sure the column would very easily exceed the terminal velocity of a rain drop. That would be a fun experiment to do from the top of a tall building!

Most of our intuition is with columns that have turbulent flow and standing waves (e.g. taps), which affect how quickly the column disperses.

A non-turbulent column of water acts very differently, see https://google.com/search?q=laminar+water+jet

LOL defi is a neat idea but the current reality is order of magnitude slower and orders of magnitude more expensive than "legacy". It adds a lots of friction. Players "get paid" because folks can't read smart contracts and see that behind the cover story it's just flows from new players to exiting players, which looks good as long as inflows are larger than outflows, which of course will last forever.

This is one question I'm really interested in: How much money did Coinbase, Kraken and Binance receive so far? That's pretty much the whole real worth of the crypto space (IMO).

From my limited outsider perspective, it seems like Apple's unwillingness to go out of their way to support Linux is what's holding it back. There seem to be a large number of people interested in using Swift on the server, but without first-party support, Swift on Linux will always be playing catch up, as new features will always land on MacOS first and often not be designed with any regard to how they'll work on Linux.

> But the central bank doesnt print money to throw it into a vault.

Correct, however US personal savings rates are at all-time highs. [1] So, you are correct, the banks aren't taking the money and locking it into vaults. However, people are taking their money and locking it up in savings accounts and investment accounts. This is reducing velocity. The "printing" was to offset this reduction in velocity and avoid a deflationary spiral. Through lending, so they can be used for productive things.

This also explains how asset prices spiked without actually causing inflation.

> Cryptocurrency gives them a way to protect their savings from that.

I don't want to get too far down this rabbit hole, but literally everything that isn't currency is inflation-proof. Inflation only affects currency. So, if you buy real estate, or stocks, or even un-productive assets like gold, silver or cryptocurrencies, you're equally protected from inflation. It may underperform, but now we're talking about rate of return in constant-dollar terms.

Cryptocurrencies do protect you from inflation, yes, but they have massive deficiencies that make them a poor choice relative to their peer investments, in my opinion. Such as the rampant fraud in the space. This hinders price discovery, and makes it impossible to determine a real value. It also causes massive swings of 27% week-to-date. That's an annualized inflation rate of 25,000,000% when measuring the value of a bitcoin against CPI.

I think a lot of people don’t attempt to negotiate at all.
In my opinion, yes you should probably learn a higher level api than Vulkan first like DX11 or OpenGL if you have no experience. This is also still important for 2D, creating a simple textured quad in Vulkan is at least one order of magnitude more complicated/verbose than the higher level mentioned apis.

In Vulkan, you're going to be manually describing to the GPU every last atom of your graphics pipeline. You also need to worry about how it's all laid out in memory through a bunch of descriptor objects that you're building in tandem. Then there's syncing between the GPU and CPU via semaphores etc to transfer data, which can be error prone and hard to debug. This results in very verbose and hard to read code. If you've never touched a graphics api before, I think frustration starts to mount and you'd be more likely to just give up. The upside is you have total control over how the GPU interprets and executes your workload (most likely a triangle as a beginner :P)

Anyway, a lot of this is hidden away in DX11 or OpenGL, you call a few functions here and there and it will do all of these lower level concerns for you. I think once you get used to the jargon and feel of apis like these, you can then start to see how Vulkan or a similar low level api would fill in between the higher level procedures/objects.

Edit: For any graphics api, imo, if you're concerned about building a game you'd probably also not want to touch those apis directly from game code. In DX11 or OpenGL it's not too hard to wrap that up in a bit higher abstraction but in Vulkan you'd almost first want to wrap Vulkan into an api that can be used without writing a ton of manual setup and then use that api to write a higher level, more game appropriate abstraction to call from the game's code. (usually done as part of an engine/framework)

Edit 2: Having said all of this, you could ignore all of the nitty/gritty details and just copy paste the code from the tutorials and make a workable api for yourself to try to understand. Up to you and how you like to learn.

We're using it via an executable process engine at my current company on a project that's not yet in production, so I'm still on the fence.

Amazing that in the comments (last one dated 2015) that this was still the case up to (and perhaps exceeding?) the t410s. That's a fairly recent device and wouldn't surprise me if this secret discharge incantation was still on the books in later models as well.

Is this specific order a thinkpad related order, or is this just a generalized discharge reset? I realize that its fairly common to need to discharge, but is the order (10 presses here, hold for X amount of seconds there) important?

I work at Stacker (YC S20) [0] and the approach we're taking to deliver on this promise is to start with the data.

That is, we let you take spreadsheets you already use and build more powerful collaborative tools on top of them, without code.

If you take the premise that a tool has a 'data' part, and an 'app' part, and that the data models the process, and the app more just controls how data is accessed, presented, the UX, etc, you might see why I'm so excited about this approach -- if you take the data from spreadsheets that are already being used to model a process in action, by definition you don't have to change your process at all.

Absolutely! That is similar to artists doing thumbnail sketches to figure out the composition; then once things are reasonably worked out, the chosen composition can be worked onto the final canvas; then the details follow.
