In 15 years of interviewing (both sides of the table) at FAANGs, universities, startups, hedge funds, and the us federal government, I can think of exactly one time I was given an itinerary outlining who I'd speak with, and zero when one of my candidates was provided with one.

No, when cops do what's described, it's called an undercover assignment. Entrapment is when the police encourage the forbidden behavior. In no way shape nor form is having a woman greet you coming near entrapment.

As for having a CEO play custodian, sure, it's a poor use of my time in leadership, but at the end of the day, I don't care who is carrying a mop around the office. I do care about keeping out the shitheads who feel they're entitled to disrespect someone because they're carrying a mop.

I'm trying to understand this post, so I turned the initial "problematic" SQL into this:

SELECT j->'k' FROM t;
UPDATE t SET j = f(j, '{"k"}', '"v"');

... and the provided solution into this:

SELECT j['k'] FROM t;
UPDATE t SET j['k'] = '"v"';

I think I understand what a binary JSON column might be but by stripping variables and function names down to the minimum, both of these constructs look a bit heavy on the quotes and brackets (parenthesis.) There are squiggly brackets and square ones, single and double quotes. A lack of a colon is clearly an oversight.

I think I understand now: the function "jsonb_set on a "'@thing@'" is to become a magic result by inference with enough syntax on a variable.

Yeah I know what you mean. Like sometimes I'll get messages hours after they are sent. Even when my main computer is off so would be considered "away". Now I just have to frequently check slack and that in itself feels like a dark pattern.
VISA is a credit based system, Bitcoin transation is counterparty free. Transferring gold between countries would be a much more interesting comparision, as gold is the main competitor for Bitcoin.

we’ve collectively chosen to let financialization ruin societies by allowing money to be the only viable yardstick of worth and value. unconstrained capitalism reduces this way through its natural instabilities, and not without unintended (and intended) consequences. it can only foster better society if we level the playing field and rigorously ensure competition.

From DoD "2020 Industrial Capabilities Report to Congress"[1] page 9:

> issues confronting our defense industrial base [...] first has been the steady deindustrialization of the United States over the past five decades, including workforce and manufacturing innovation [...] While total manufacturing output has grown during this period, [...] the workforce on which a defense industrial renaissance would depend has become [...] an endangered species.

> Together, a U.S. business climate that has favored short-term shareholder earnings (versus long-term capital investment), deindustrialization, and an abstract, radical vision of “free trade,” without fair trade enforcement, have severely damaged America’s ability to arm itself today and in the future. Our national responses – off-shoring and out-sourcing – have been inadequate and ultimately self-defeating, especially with respect to the defense industrial base.

> These trends have had particular impact on the core element of a successful manufacturing economy: the machine tool industry. Of the world’s top twenty-one machine-tool makers, only two today are American: Gleason and Haas Automation. By contrast, eight are based in Japan, and six in Germany. [...]

What are your thoughts on "United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1876)"?
In relativity, everything is relative. You can choose any "rest frame" that you like and all the math still works out.

For the star, from its point of view its mass has not changed at all. So yes fusion still works.
Probably but it's not like they can increase exponentially in number. It's as much about the viral load as the viral type. It's not an on or off switch.
In this case, it's emulating a 6502 processor with onboard RAM/ROM. The hardware that make it an Apple II+ is not emulated.
Indeed, in their local coordinate system, their mass hasn't changed, while from a still observer's point of view, such a star gains that extra relativistic mass and should in theory collapse once it reaches a certain speed. Of course, it would be strange if the same star would be collapsed or normal in different corrdinate systems. I guess the solution is that the extra relativistic mass isn't real, but a curious artifact that manifests as the higher than normal kinetic energy.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but how do you charge a car via solar at night?
Very curious about what the breakdown of that 20% is by manufacturer. A friend of mine traded his i3 for a Model Y and said the experience has been like night and day. Access to Supercharger network is a game charger. No other fast charging network is really even close.

Despite the usefulness of those other techniques, I still prefer to start with PCA. Its direct interpretability in terms of well understood statistical attributes of the data mean that for first line data interpretation it's better (in my mind) for the "QC" portion of analysis. The other methods are great to do after your PCA is looking sane.
Yes, but there are costs associated which when included in calculations brings them back up over zero.

> When you buy cheap shoes, they break quickly, forcing you to buy another pair, ultimately costing more over time than if you had just bought good shoes to begin with.

This is only a "fallacy" if someone chooses to purchase the cheap shoes despite having the capability to buy good shoes.

Being poor is expensive. If you can't buy good shoes you're stuck in a feedback loop of making do with cheap shoes. The same goes for many items and services. There's not a good option for a lot of people close to their margins.

That reminds me.. On macOS, the default application to open files with the .html extension is Safari, which I found is impossible to change. A tiny thing but it still makes me angry that someone at Apple intentionally removed my ability as a user.
Seems improbable.

The Delta V required to catch up with these things would also be an appreciable percentage of the speed of light. The star’s gravity would help, but it’s only going to take the edge off what will be an immense acceleration budget. Given that we basically haven’t hit even 0.01C, getting a planetary mass up to this speed seems impossible.

Plus, once you get wherever you’re going, you’d have to pay back whatever boost the star’s gravity gave you as you both escape its gravity well and spend down the velocity that the star itself was going.

Your calculation is invalid too.

Mining energy is not just used to process a transaction. Miners really do it to generate more BTC. It is the energy of the whole network. You're not including all related activities like the energy used in Apples banking and advertising, flying their employees around etc

Less BTC is generated over time, eventually none at all. The energy usage has no relation to actually performing a transaction. All of the 'BTC energy usage' calculations that talk about future climate change estimations and come up with 'per transaction' values are completely invalid.

> If you want to publish a document and distribute it in a way that its integrity and authorship can be determined there aren't good options.

Perhaps the situation would be a little better if browsers supported Hashlinks[0]. The integrity hash in the URL would ensure that that the document returned is the one intended by the person who gave you the link.

I don't think it quite makes sense for a browser to store an address book of identities with associated public keys, but if an author hosts their document on a domain that is associated with them (and has a TLS certificate, recorded in a Certificate Transparency log) then the visitor can be reasonably sure of the document's authorship.

For good measure, the document should include in its body the domain name of the site where it is hosted, to avoid any weird problems with redirects.

It’d be fun to live on a planet around one of these stars.

Maybe a civilization could use these stars to spread itself to other parts of the galaxy or, if fast enough, to other galaxies.
> Public charging stations may look like the electric version of the gas station, but nearly two-thirds of PEV drivers in the survey said they didn't use them. Exactly why they didn't use the public stalls was not specified.

because they charge at home! this article is quite silly.

if you cant level 2 charge at home then yes... having an EV may be quite inconvenient. but all this "i can fill my SUV in three minutes" stuff is... dumb. know what's even more convenient? never stopping at a stupid gas station ever again. i wait 0 minutes for my car to charge because i plug it in when i get home and then go inside and forget all about it.
By buying an EV charger from a solar company? The solar inverter vendors sell them, and I don’t see the point for most uses.

(For power-limited off-grid applications, a smart charger makes a lot of sense. That’s a niche use case.)
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I would pay higher taxes to subsidize this infrastructure. I haven't switched from a hybrid (Prius) to an EV because I'd have to treat the EV as a second "luxury" vehicle.
Maybe they work nightshift.

Or more likely as with most solar systems they are "grid-tie"

Your electric meter essentially runs backwards during the day when you are selling excess power from your panels to the utility. Then you "buy" it back at night when you are drawing more power than your solar panels make.

This has happened a few times with alumni from my college, except their address book automatically syncs large mailing lists are contacts...

So don't allow those notifications. I can easily see the existence of a catch-all deny everything by default as well. Safari on desktop happens to have this feature--showing Apple isn't categorically against its existence, as long as it doesn't help undermine their app store monopoly--will occasionally ask me for notifications and, somehow, I always deny them... maybe I have more willpower than you? Just because you have some personality flaw that prevents you from disabling a feature you don't like shouldn't mean that everyone else in the world needs to do without having that feature ever. In a world where Apple doesn't just make quality judgements on content but also makes legal judgments and even moral judgments--being so anti-porn as to be downright misogynistic with an anti-breastfeeding stance--this is a reasonable feature to exist on the web platform, and no one is forcing you to use it.
On the other hand spending your intergalactic voyage orbiting a star would be very convenient from a resources and fuel perspective.
Okay, I get the comparison :P and perhaps I'm being overly pedantic we're both making the same point for sure.
I really like the part where they decided to just have her greet everyone and see how that went. That's a brilliant hack.
Why not make a user who wants notifications click a special button taking them to a special page where you show the notifications popup?

I'm sure if you asked, everyone who does this is going to tell you that "MY use of it is not nefarious. It's everyone else's fault that technique is abused."

The same thing would be cheaper to operate without the crypto backend. And it wouldn't raise the awareness/price for Sia.
Option A) In a lot of places, you're still connected in the grid. For the sake of argument let's say, you produce 5 Kilowatt-hour in the day, and only used 2 kWh. The other 3 kWh are sold to the grid in a positive balance for you.

So at the end of the month, the bill is: What you consumed to the grid in the night - what you added in the day, so depending on the sunlight you got, there could be months where you pay 0 in electricity bills.

Option B) A lot of 18650 batteries and a inverter connected to your home, like the tesla powerwall.

"Other gamblers will probably applaud them for finally doing the impossible."

I suspect not. Some people have the idea that "luck" is intrinsic to yourself, that it is somehow a measure of your own worth, like karmic rewards. This view seems prevalent in China.

Thus systematically beating the odds will seem like cheating.

The sad part is that this problem was solved decades ago with grid locators like Maidenhead[1]. It's a purely mathematical conversions with no lookup tables, cover the entire world and alternate pairs of letters with pairs of digits (so no confusing or language and culture dependent words).

Code becomes longer according to the required precision, so eight digits are enough for a typical city neighborhood, ten digits goes to a 30x20m block that is good for disambiguation even in the most dense urban areas. Adding more digits will work too, but that just more work.

A typical location would be something like: fm19oc75hv

Data quality management for machine learning models
Flaws in data can lead to disastrous results really quickly. In this article, we exploring the main aspects of data quality management, a critical component of data governance, to build successful machine learning models.
Anyone using Matlab these days? Seems a bit niche.

I used Octave in Andrew Ng’s ML class and wanted to learn more Matlab so I signed up for a Coursera course on it.

It’s a nice tool.
Batteries is certainly an option, but we sell power to the utility (PG&E) during the day at a high price per kWh and use it at night (between 2300 and 0700) to charge our car (and run the washer) at a low price per kWh.
Old Norse culture is very clearly linked to Germanic cultures. Linguistically, the descendants of Germanic languages are broken up into North Germanic (modern Scandinavian languages), West Germanic (English, Dutch, and modern German, along with siblings), and East Germanic (now all extinct). We can also see clear parallels between Norse and Germanic religion. I'm less certain of similarities in other areas of culture, but I would be shocked if they were much greater than the linguistic or religious evidence would imply. It is not at all wrong to call Norse Germanic.

It is much less clear if Normans should also count as Germanic. I wrote it as such mostly for the pun of having England be invaded by three waves of Germanic peoples from three different places. The actual reality is murkier, as the Normans themselves are an amalgamation of existing Breton, Gallo-Romanic, and Frankish (another Germanic people!) peoples with a hefty Norse influx both before and after the ceding of territory to Rollo. It's probably more accurate to say that the Normans represent a new cultural identity which is a fusion of several that came before it, just as the English did with their several invasions, or the French did during their centralization push in the Early Modern.

Reminds me of the "paradox" that making technology more energy-efficient has the effect of increasing overall energy use.
Apartment landlords often now disallow anyone to charge in garages that they pay rent for. They have to use provided charging spots, which absolutely sucks for every day use and is totally unrealistic unless you have a large battery EV.

There are outlets everywhere but folks aren’t allowed to use them. Electric cars are not normalized.

Teslas and PHEVs are the only electric cars I can unreservedly recommend. Teslas (new ones at least) have substantial batteries, often comparable to standard gas cars, and extensive charging networks at high speed. Still kind of sucks if you can’t charge at home or work, but possible.

PHEVs are really where we need to go to massively normalize EVs. We could, today, replace everyone’s vehicle with a PHEV version (like a Volt) & everything would work fine. People would nag landlords to let them plug in, and it’d become a legitimate differentiation if apartments allowed plugging in (as it’d reduce the cost of energy for transport by a factor of 2-3), so competitive pressure would accomplish what landlords currently don’t allow because they’re lazy, poorly informed, and/or ambivalent about it.

Pure EVs should be at LEAST ~250 miles in range, and probably at least 100kW charge speed, too.

What we need is a mandate that by 2030, all new vehicles must be at least plug in hybrid. That’s way better than the 60% zero emissions cars by 2030 I’ve seen going around.
