The specific argument made there is even stranger. It's essentially saying that if HOFs are adopted, they will inevitably replace for-loops for common cases - and that is a bad thing! In other words, it's trying to block a feature that it specifically acknowledges would be highly popular in the name of simplicity and purity.
There's no AI yet. But if it's invented, it will be promptly used to create autonomous quadracopter style drones that patrol and police their territory and recharge themselves when necessary. It'll be used to make an "agent smith" type of surveillance bot that listens to people talking at their homes (over the alexa and such mics) and intelligently find dissenters with an extreme accuracy. That's something every dictator would pay half his empire for.
> This was probably used as a pretext in a power struggle.

The article has a specific quote which would indicate there's some disconnect between the average board and this ceo.

>> He believed that he and the company were too focused on sales and money at the expense of altruistic goals

This is an obvious point of conflict with a board, which would not align itself with a CEO who said that even privately.
That still falls into the category of "not my problem" for the buyer. They're not likely to catch SARS-CoV-2 from a new Tesla.
"That's what Bernie Madoff said."

But for real, that doesn't make the cut. 1) maybe I don't have capital to invest, 2) your "yield" calculation ignores all risk.
I don't think anyone would have cared if it hadn't affected his job performance so obviously.

Just like no one cares (in the tech world at least) if you drink like a fish or get stoned every night if you show up the next day and get your job done.
You're not responding to the premise of the article: subsidize existing nuclear, not new nuclear. You're taking on an easier argument, but instead you need to clarify: how is allowing carbon-free existing nuclear fall due to price a good thing for the climate?
There is an "allow referral marketing" toggle in the settings that I assumes keeps these sorts of links in play.

I read your GGP just like the GP did: Somehow you managed to make it look like the point you were making was the complete opposite of what you're now saying it was.
Safety razor still cut... my face knows that for a fact.
I'm not sure you understand my point, I will expand a bit.

We rely on markets for information.

Falsely signaling to market participants demand for 1M sheep through a financial transaction costs you the price of 1M sheep. It is the most honest form of communication because the penalty for false/dishonest signaling is built in.
TCP/IP Fingerprinting for VPN and Proxy Detection
That's great. But mandating an embedded cell phone? Hopefully it is a fully independent system that only turns on after a collision, but it still has a spooky big brother aspect to it.

I don't know what your point is about airbags. Some sort of weird defence of European safety standards?
Pretty neat! I wrote and now co-maintain a library that has similar ease-of-use for Bitcoin: https://github.com/ofek/bit

How do they know what they need ETH for if they don't know what it's actually useful for? I'd be curious what a few of your top "you need ETH for this" cases are.
Apologies if my thesis wasn't clear. I'm advocating for Navy administration of the commercial nuclear fleet being subsidized by the federal gov, not Naval reactors of the same design you'd put at sea. The value is in accountability and chain of command ("safety culture"), not the marine vessel reactor design.
I don't really how you took a bug in Selenium and somehow turned it into an indictment of Shadow DOM.

Updated the philosophy docs with your feedback. Thanks again.
Would love feedback on behavioral change, tips for gamification, and whatever catches your eye.
Wait, what is this "45" exactly?
Thanks for the feedback! Good to hear that you experienced good performance from PlayCanvas in your tests. The majority of PlayCanvas users to opt for the Editor rather than using the Engine standalone, so yeah, the developer resources are biased a bit in that direction. But we are working hard to rebalance things towards the engine. For example, we're about to release a new engine-only examples browser app that's really cool. Key an eye out for it. :)
> plausible that techbrocracy is better than a more circumspect style for companies like this.

Given that the company was founded and formed under Zhu's leadership, it was probably exactly suited to his leadership style[0].

The new factor appears to be the VC's. It's not so common now, but VC's used to have a reputation for replacing founders with "experienced" CEOs - y'know: their mates from the golf club who could be counted on to play ball nicely. This was especially common if the founder was unconventional in any way.

[0] TFA doesn't mention any internal management problems, so I'm assuming all was well and there wasn't any dissatisfaction with the leadership style. That assumption could be wrong.
Scientific Evidence Against Reductionism (Aquinas 101)
It is a very narrow view to conclude racial bias did not exist by naming specific minority ethnicities.

I have struggled with this question a lot and taking a bigger picture view helped me understand the systemic problem.

The exact same reasoning was used by some social media users to argue that there was no racial motivation in the case of George Floyd's murder by Minneapolis police in May 2020. One of the officer was East Asian and another was not white but the man who had the knee on the neck of George Floyd was white and was the superior officer.

I can't conclude that all the power over Mr.Zhu in this case was in the hands of the two VCs you mentioned.

I am reminded of the quote attributed to Arthur C Clarke.

If an elderly but distinguished scientist says that something is possible, he is almost certainly right; but if he says that it is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

There are scientists and engineers who say getting to a 100% renewable grid is possible.
I'm re-reading what I wrote, but I still can't see how you inferred that implication.

I agree that a hazard analysis should have identified it. But whether it did or didn't, there are still many possible reasons why it wasn't addressed effectively. Hence, a systemic failure.

I have no idea if it's legal, but any punishment would probably be on the company rather than the individuals.
Yeah you're right of course - and that's the strongest argument in favor of them, but given how modern society operates today where people use skin tone as a (the main?) racial differentiator, the emoji's imply more than that.

If it was just hair color or something it would be different. It shouldn't be different (imo) and hopefully we eventually get to a world where they're just physical attributes. I just don't see this kind of thing helping in the mean time.
Or could it be that we have it and don't know it. Alzheimer cases are growing as we remove other causes of death. Dementia is just accepted as a consequence of growing old. It not like we section every brain of an old person who dies.

We only noticed it on our farm animals because we brought the cycle time down as we fed downer cows to other cows as a source of protein
> I actually think it's fair for me to step back from "electron charge varies" to "electron charge could possibly vary, or not" as long as you step back from "electron charge doesn't vary" to "electron charge could possibly vary, or not".

Sounds a lot like a middlegrounds fallacy. My claim is "electron charge could possibly vary, or not, but all existing evidence suggests it does not, and no existing evidence suggests it does".

> A more detailed model sees them as sizeless points of approximately measured charge that propagate in a probability quantum wave.

I _think_ this is supposed to be a reference to quantum field theory, which explicitly assumes that particles represent a fixed, minimum amount of energy called a quanta (that's where the "quantum" in "quantum physics" comes from by the way).

It's so fundamental to the theory it's the beginning of the second paragraph on the wikipedia page for QFT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory):

"QFT treats particles as excited states (also called quanta) of their underlying quantum fields, which are more fundamental than the particles."

> In any case what I said about neutrons and protons is actually accepted scientific fact. They're not particles at all.

I'm referring to elementary particles, of which protons and neutrons are not (but quarks are).
>It absolutely is not lazy parents and this victim blaming is ridiculous. I have no idea where the concept that parents have to be 100% attentive to everything their child does at all times, but it is completely unrealistic.

I have a child. I remove the safety key when I'm not using the treadmill. I am not 100% attentive at all times and I don't need to be. It is not ridiculous to expect a parent to take basic measure to protect their child from dangerous objects around the house. Knives are placed out of reach. Chemicals are in a locked cabinet. The treadmill has the safety key removed.

>And for the record, the death happened while the treadmill was in proper use, so while it's true some of these accidents may have been prevented by removing the safety key, not all of them would have.

Citation? The CSPC has yet to release any details that I've seen.

1. Ask how they came up with the deadline?

2. Ask how much they need it, meaning how many extra hours will they allow? And will they pay a bonus for those people who forfeit their evening and night just to get this fixed on time?

Chances are, the deadline will vanish as soon as it becomes obvious that there's a price attached.
Sometimes it can be something as stupid as the invoice ending up in the accounting department's spam folder. Happened to us with one of our services.
I for one opted for a TechnoGym spinning bike in my home. I have never regrettd it.

Using it with Zwift on my Android Phone has been so much fun.

If I had the space, I would have purchased a Technogym treadmill also. World class stuff.
Can you Eli5 why buy at ask is the wrong thing to do if you want to buy shares? What is the alternative? Do you mean you should wait/ time buying based on price?

Could happen with any treadmill. As a rule of thumb, I would not let a child near gym equipment, plenty of potential injury / death there.
You know the interesting thing about treadmills designed for a gym? They aren't sold to people as a household appliance that has children around.

This goes right back to my "designing for the real world" point. If you are designing and selling a "at home" treadmill, you have different use cases, risks, concerns than designing one for a gym.
One of the big things a CEO does is meet with people to sell the company, make deals, connect with investors and all that. You need to be able to read social situations properly, and if you can't do that, you are at a disadvantage. One way of demonstrating that you can handle social situations properly is knowing what to wear.

A really talented CEO might be good enough to overcome "quirkiness" on the "dress-the-part" side, but you have to have sufficient other advantages.
We wouldn't need seatbelts if people would just stop crashing their cars.

We wouldn't need warnings on coffee cups if people would just stop holding hot coffee in their lap.

And on and on. People make mistakes. People are lazy. People do unanticipated things that designers didn't consider. We shouldn't allow toddlers to die because people aren't perfect.
I think the "beginner mistake" is that you can download a pre-made deck of 1000 German words, many of which you have never heard before, so it will be very hard to make them stick in your memory.

With Orbit, I think the idea is that the prompts are very well crafted (Andy has some research on making good prompts) and also that you are encountering the questions right in the context where you are learning about them, so you have something to attach them to.

I think this is a complementary thing for implementing B-trees or solving exercises. That is needed as well, but will you still remember the finer details of splitting nodes in a B-Tree a month later? Or six months later? Which might or might not be necessary.
Emoji do not make skin color matter. That is ridiculous.

People can say one thing and still participate (often unknowingly) in systems of oppression in a way that is separate from their personal feelings. Look at how many white people think voter ID is a sensible practice and not racist at all.
You can do the same with a local client, just call localhost instead of Infura.

You need to install an Ethereum client locally of course, but it’s pretty straightforward.
How is this not a defect in every treadmill?

I have never been on a treadmill that has a "rear guard".

How / what does Precor do to prevent this? (Beyond mostly existing in health clubs where small children and dogs are not allowed..)
WW2 ravaged German industry and infrastructure. But it did not suffer a collapse of society and rule of law, which matters more.
Everything Gergely writes (and he writes a lot! Books, blogs, tweets; and also YT channel) is gold, especially if you're into mobile dev, interested in growing as a senior developer, or if you live in Europe and are interested by big tech. He's really filling a huge gap.

Re:book, I've been an Android dev for 3 years (hybrid & native) and the book really covers the whole spectrum of things (as you can see in the table of contents) that need to be done to have a good app, some of them hard to know in advance. At the same time, it can (and should) be read and understood by non-devs (project managers, directors etc.). Congrats on the launch!
>Run outside

Not all of us live in California. In huge parts of North America there is ice and snow on the ground for 3-6 months of the year and it's objectively unsafe to jog outside.
> I rarely see talented developers doing this because they're too busy working.

I love the privilege on display here. You can ignore racial inequality issues because "they are too distracting," meanwhile I have to wake up each morning, read yet another one of my brothers and sisters has been killed by police, and I still have to run my business. Your mediocrity exist in your complacently to the status-quo. On a daily basis we innovate, build, ship, and push tech more than you could ever hope -- and we don't need to ban "political discussions" at work.

If a business chooses to condemn something without backing up that solidarity with meaningful resources and capital, they should be criticized.
As a devil's advocate: if the presidency was about to be stolen, what must be done to secure heart of the nation? Not fight?

You make a great point that using knowledge is important in actually learning the study material. Personally, those moments of learning happen when I stumble across a problem where I'm applying my knowledge in the wild.

What I've found is that spaced-repetition software lets me keep in touch with information long enough to be able to have those moments more consistently, otherwise I read something interesting, take notes, and two weeks later its pretty much out of memory. By extending the amount of time info is living in my head, I get more chances to use the knowledge and take it to heart!

This doesn't lend itself to everything perfectly well though, I've had luck learning how to do household tasks like gardening, cooking where I'm semi-regularly getting chances to use what I'm learning
It's actually the one I have, and I bought it from Costco in the UK!
I've been playing with programmatic money since selling runescape gold for PayPal dollars. I guess I just need more idk
> because of how limited it is...

What is so limiting about Anki? Anki cards are also fully javascript capable, and anything you can't achieve with just js you can do with their python addon api. From what I've seen the only use case Orbit serves that Anki doesn't is the ability to embed cards on your own pages.
Seriously; I love my Peloton bike because I’m a data junkie and the weather isn’t always nice for riding, but for running you can just download the peloton app to an iPad and use a non-peloton treadmill. I only have the peloton because I bought it used off a friend who just wanted it out of her house.
The 2 x 64kbit was nice and all, but being able to surf all evening (reduced tariff) on 1 line and have the house phone available for incoming calls (for my parents) at the same time, that was the game changer for me. No more, "just 30 minutes internet tonight kids, I'm expecting an important call", just dial in at 8 and start the download manager for the entire evening.
Receive ETH, and turn it into dollars.

The digital book is made by the same guy, Andy M. and Michael Nielsen. Orbit seems to be a platform to enable anyone to build similar content, with mnemonic content (flash cards basically) built in.
But both could be true: agencies getting weaker but corporations becoming more instrumental in rule breaking and accepting fines as cost of business. Perhaps the behaviour is getting worse?
Why would you need to label someone by their ethnicity in daily life? This stuff really only comes up in two situations:

1. Forms where the person in question just fills it in themselves (generally the option is Black/African anyway)

2. Discussions about groups of people in which case the labels are descriptive and fairly easy to navigate.
Exactly - it’s the old joke about not having to run faster than a bear in the woods - just faster than the slowest membe of your party :)
It is so upsetting to see CA close down precious nuclear power plants, not because they have built a better alternative to using natural gas or other dirty fuels to cover this load, they haven't, but because it is unprofitable to do the required maintenance and necessary improvements.

The need for profit is killing our planet. When it comes to basic essential things like shelter, energy, food, water, profit is pure parasitic loss and should be eliminated. These things really should run at a loss, considering these things generate all other economic activity there is, but we insist that they must be run privately and for profit.
From my recollection, twitter blocked NYP from posting until they took down a post with the link to their laptop article, which NYP refused to do.

> They are fairly different industries

Funding for each may actually benefit the others. For example, FLiBe salt is being considered as a coolant in some Gen IV fission, as well as compact fusion and concentrated solar. Production will increase if there is a definite market for it, making it easier to obtain.
Haha, you're welcome!
That’s exactly the problem for me: I’m the kind of person who sees money as “a token to be traded for goods and / or services”, and why would any normal person (ie, not counting crypto investment nerds) want to trade their eth if the most profitable thing to do is to hoard it?
Even though it is proprietary, I appreciate the current fine print in their current Timescale license compared to most other proprietary licenses. It doesn't have scary ambiguous language that could apply to even small, non-cloud-provider users that the SSPL contains, and they have nice "we won't sue you" clauses that were written favorably for users.

At least that's what I think, I'd want to hear kemitchell's review of the most recent iteration of their license, I think it incorporates much of what he's discussed as the correct legal direction for open-except-for-clouds licenses which strikes the right balance between user protections and safe guards against cloud providers.
How would that happen?

If the price is set on carbon, I’d expect it to be proportionate.
It's also really hard to find just plain descriptions of what all the different federal departments are doing and what it means. It's mostly considered too boring for general news unless someone has been able to generate some drama around it. There are huge areas where there is no reporting at all. The best you'll get is industry specific news sources, but that will usually have a pro-industry bias.
Great to see Ballista in arrow https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/9723
Summary acronyms: IoT should be on SeL4 on RISC-V.

RISC-V fits the embedded space, and IoT usually doesn't need much more software on top than a kernel and a dumb control service. If an open-source control service (effectively just controlling some I/O pins depending on a config) can get verified, the entire threat vector of IoT would be devastated.
When I was buying ethereum at 17 dollars and getting a mortgage. I was buying it hoping sometime in the future I could renew the mortgage with an ethereum contract.

It could detail in code the principal, functions to trigger interest rate increases/decreases, functions to cancel, early termination fees, payment addresses, max payments per year, end dates, and whatever else a mortgage contract would need.

As a developer I would have felt much more comfortable with that than legal papers, brochures and pamphlets.
I might have been wrong that the tilting mechanism has been completely disabled. A web search turned out only that it has been limited: https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-7047961

And a press release by the railway company from 2011 says that the higher speed enabled by the tilting is no longer reflected in the timetables
https://www.vrgroup.fi/fi/vrgroup/uutishuone/uutiset-ja-tied... I would say that has not changed afterwards.

Either way, travelling slower through the curves has stopped the wobbly feeling for the passengers. So in practice the tilting has been a dead end in real life for the Finnish railways. Even if I did not really follow the argumentation in the article why tilting is a dead end.
“Don’t ship products that can easily hurt or kill kids/pets” isn’t the shining example of governmental overreach I’d reach for.
