Do you realize that Coinbase is now a public company? There’s no such a thing as strike price because their stock compensation is likely done through RSUs. Not stock options.

Public companies issue an RSU grant at the beginning of employment and at no cost for the employee. Also if the share price goes below the grant date price, you’re likely recalibrated through rolling refreshers.
the article says that one of the gardens uses 8% of the water of the grass it replaced. the point is that, while it's not gonna significantly reverse socal's water deficit, it is a net benefit.
Much better explaination than that nonsense about off-screen wizards casting bootstrap spells onto the hexcubes.
Interesting study. I think most people think the complete opposite. Science communication seems pretty broken.
The difference between a developer I would employ and a developer I would not employ boils down to throw away junk like this. there are plenty of people commenting on here from a Grown Up point of view. maybe read through some of that stuff.
The knee jerk reaction is to criticize cnbc. But the fact is that Elon’s strategy is working.
Just how long do you think an appraiser will last if they consistently aren't appraising high enough? Banks decide which appraisers they want to work with. Usually, it's someone from the bank that doesn't work in "loan production", which is better than nothing, but still laughable. They all work for the same company, they all know each other. And if they are using a neutral 3rd party to select appraisers, just who is selecting this neutral 3rd party? The bank of course.

I suppose you also think that "3rd party" arbitrators selected and paid for by one of the parties to the issue being arbitrated is also unbiased?

As for racial bias, unconscious bias needs no incentive one way or another.
It's a more integrated experience. It's totally understandable because it's an officially supported and endorsed way of deep linking.
> I worked at an employer who heavily used golang ... they ended up reinventing the wheel on so many different things, including DI and an entire application framework.

Sounds like they were trying to force the language to be something it's not. DI frameworks (I think what you mean) are basically incoherent in Go, dependency injection is naturally modeled with interfaces. In fact any inversion-of-control style "framework" is a mismatch to the language, it (intentionally) lacks the features that frameworks rely on to deliver benefits that outweigh their costs.

> The way interfaces are handled in golang makes it very annoying to try to find out which types implement said interface.

The desire to do this reflects a misunderstanding of interfaces.
This is connected to a significant usability problem with `tel:` links: you have no way of knowing whether they’ll work, and if they don’t work, it could be in one of a few different ways. Maybe it’ll open a dialer app. Maybe it’ll do nothing at all. Maybe it’ll open an “unknown scheme” browser error page. Maybe it’ll prompt you to open it in an external app (I seem to have both Skype and Zoom willing to handle tel: links; neither is going to succeed). You largely can’t detect whether it has done something, might have done something, or has done nothing. Well, this article shows ways that you can detect likely results for some cases after trying it, but it’s not reliable and is depending on implementation details that are liable to change (especially since they’re a fingerprinting vector).

If it’s not going to work, I’d strongly prefer to not make the phone number a link—and perhaps even to present a different flow to the user (e.g. provide a form or mark an email address as the primary option). But if it is going to work, I definitely want it to be a link. It’s common to just guess from the user agent string or screen size whether it’s a mobile device, but that’s extremely flawed too—some tablets will and some won’t be able to dial, and even desktop platforms may well have some VoIP app.

Fingerprinting and usability are so often so significantly at odds. :-(
> I get that. The important bit is that there are a lot of other important concerns besides the type system--tooling, ecosystem, ease of finding/onboarding collaborators, etc. Personally I think Rust is the only of these languages which ticks most of these boxes, and even then Rust makes you think about ownership all the time. I think there's space for a GC'ed Rust ("Rust-lite") or an OCaml with a familiar syntax and really great support (last I checked, ReasonML is still a confusing mess).

Yeah, I personally use Typescript when I want something that I can work with others but not slow down newcomers/other team members too much. Perfect world it's Haskell or Rust but in the real world usually Typescript.

> Maybe Go will get generics and sum types and it will be close enough?

I think this is what will happen -- basically Go is doing the mongo thing where you just launch with something that is mostly good (Go is way more than mostly good for what it sets out to be), and you just iterate till you get something that is way better, and you just have to out-market/last your competitors.

A bit of a detour but most people have never heard of RethinkDB which was like Mongo, but more correct (see Jepsen tests), could shard easily out of the box, came with an admin UI, and did live streaming of updates. By all accounts a better product, but Mongo just marketed their way to dominance and iterated/bought their way out of a bad product (see: WiredTiger).
> The U.S. somehow managed to build an interstate highway system through every major city in the decades after WWII without being bombed flat.

The U.S. has essentially stopped building urban interstates since the late 70's, when opposition from residents became too strong to ignore. I don't foresee this changing in the near future.

My understanding is that construction costs in Europe are rising as well due to (among other things) increased use of tunnels in urban area due to opposition from residents.

It’s a ploy. He’s treating Bitcoin as a tax shelter for Tesla profits.
I don’t get it. It appears that what is being “leaked” is quoted that users are choosing to share publicly on a public web page which then gets indexed by search engines.

What’s the actual vulnerability here?

The only “vulnerability” is the short seller saying that they were able to log into the users account, but if they were able to log into the users account, why were they only able to access their name and quote, information the users had chosen to share publicly, and were not able to access a whole host of other data that would be available if one were able to log in to a users account.
Reminds me of a16z's "dead equity" blogpost, largely revolving around employees with lingering options who no longer contributed their "fair share".

But not mentioned in either is that these long running exercise windows "hurt" _all_ shareholders, especially investors. Nice of both to make this about the little man/woman.

I only wish their worth and value to the company was met with the same scrutiny they seem to give employees.
Yeah it does. Browsing the Web with MetaMask is like walking around with a bag of $10,000 cash openly exposed in a crowded public street of a society with no police officers or law enforcement.

And with a blindfold on your eyes.
Depends. Can be very dangerous when near the ground on takeoff or landing. Heavier, slower aircraft make stronger turbulence. You especially don’t want to be a smaller aircraft behind a larger one. The vortices sink so if you’re following an aircraft and you’re at the same or higher altitude then you’re fine. If you’re lower then watch out, you might be on an intercept course.
Do you think this relates to low-power MCUs like ARM Cortex-M? These are getting hit hard as well.

Wow I didn’t even know this project existed, and you’re telling me it’s FOSS?!
my understanding is that e.coli contamination (by the harmful strains) is usually an artifact of cross-contamination from industrial farming. gardeners don't typically have to worry about it. just wash everything like you'd normally do anyway.

edit: also, greywater in this case is usually captured from rainfall, not recycled from sewage, like you might be thinking.
Apart from the threading model, I love Zulip for its openness.
It's quite sad Slack and Discord are often the first choice for open communities. They are siloed and unless you are deliberately searching in a specific workspace, you'll never run into the information in a search engine.

In comparison, Zulip:

- provides HTML export functionality https://github.com/zulip/zulip-archive#zulip-html-archive (example https://leanprover-community.github.io/archive )

- URLs are nice and encode meaning (e.g. https://memex.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/279601-hpi/topic/...)
... compare with Slack/Discord meaningless character sequences

- I'm excited about https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/4817 , which would allow viewing workspaces in 'guest' mode, without registering at all
Earth has a lot of people living on it, and any effort at repair is just as likely to wreck it. You can't "colonize and terraform Siberia" without turning the US into a scorching desert.

Mars has 0 people living on it, and is already uninhabitable. We literally cannot make it worse for anybody, and are in no danger of wrecking anything we need to survive by trying.

I would much larger we try planet-scale geo-engineering on Mars, then try planet scale geoengineering on Earth (and we're already flirting with that because of climate change).

There is a wealth of information to be gained from attempting dramatic changes to a planet's condition, and establishing a biosphere, which would be extremely important for any attempt at large scale Earth biosphere repair.

Not being prosecuted is not the same as not guilty.
I think we should not follow the mindset of doing X things to get promotion. The most important thing is to know the whys behind promotion, and combine that thinking with what you want out of life. Think top down, as if you are running this company, ask yourself how do you decide about promotions and why.
"Minimize thrust output" is not a great constraint - the most efficient landing would run at 100% thrust to minimize the time spent thrusting against gravity. Another thing to take into account, which is that rocket engines have a minimum throttle setting, which for the Raptor is 40%.
A benefit of consistently programming since I was a kid is that a lot of programming, especially code architecture, feels very plastic to me. Not quite visualized in a way I could draw, but sort of using the same circuitry as imagining a 3D model of mechanical engineering.

It’s sort of there in my mind and I can see how things are connected, grab stuff and move it around, etc. Super handy for dealing with systems complexity
Elon Musk will learn that Bitcoin is difficult to control. He seems pretty confused about the market. My guess is Elon has been using Dogecoin to reign in Bitcoin. He's somewhat got what he wanted. Bitcoin has been stagnant for a few months. However, his promotion of Dogecoin pumps other crypto, like Ethereum and their meme tokens. Elon Musk probably didn't expect this. Promoting Dogecoin doesn't directly hurt Bitcoin. It strengthens other altcoins. At some point, it'll hurt Dogecoin.

Bitcoin is shaking Elon Musk off. It has a history of sending thought leaders to the trash bin.
Presumably, "the top candidates" will be assessed as being higher-level employees, and will get better offers commensurate with their level? They aren't saying that everyone will get the same offer, just that the offer you receive will be best and final.

The fact that different socioeconomic groups approach negotiation differently has been shown to be a strong contributor to pervasive, long-standing differences in pay. This is a good step to start to address that inequity.
I don't think anyone denies Musk is a marketing genius.
> Our physical hosts have hundreds of services exporting metrics. And many of those exported metrics are from untrusted sources. So we can both rewrite labels and decrease the scrape endpoint discoverability problem by aggregating them in one place.

OK, but Prometheus can do all of this just fine?

> Because it works incredibly well, it's easy to operate, and handles multi tenancy for us.

Again, Prometheus itself ticks all of these boxes, too, if you're not trying to force it to be something it's not.
I think a much more useful study would be to canvas areas and determine what people eat - as large amounts of home cooked meals basically indicate that there is some source of staples, even if it isn’t one of the “approved supermarkets”.

Around here you can get significant staples from the gas station, and not at bad prices either.
That's because on Linux xdg-open handles everything. What's missing is probably a timing issue.

In this case, that wouldn't be a disclaimer, it would simply be a claim of direct knowledge of the practices I alleged. Which I do have.
Except the people at the top think that they themselves are the ones responsible for the profits, and there are plenty of people willing to step in and act as the foot soldiers, so those at the top have no incentive to share.
Would you think the same way if it was your life on the line? Not livelihood. Live.

I think when evaluating situations compassion for people's lives is a more important matter than economical wellbeing. (Even if it's their wellbeing)
Zulip's an awesome F/OSS chat option, consider contributing to it, even if it's only translations in your native language.

The project seems healthy, and is growing at a good pace and adding more features and people aren't burning out, seems to be doing a lot of things right as far as F/OSS project management goes. Tim is also a joy to interact with.
Just one data point. The astronauts on the ISS spend 2 hours a day exercising. That apparently works in that once they get back on Earth after 6 months, they don’t have issues with weakened musculature. ISS is a microgravity environment.
I was skeptical about Zulip when I first tried it. What is it supposed to be? A chat? A forum? Why is the UI so ugly?

But after using it a while I now really dislike Slack et al, both in professional teams and for open source communities.

Zulip can give you the best of both worlds. It's a regular chat. But the threading model also encourages long-form, more forum or email like discussions.

Threads are easily discoverable and it's trivial to catch up on all the relevant discussions that you missed, while skipping everything that doesn't concern you.

You can still have some regular chat channels for typical ephemeral discussion that no-one is expected to read. It's really a great tool.

The only downside is the very subpar UX when compared to Discord or even Slack.
I used to take Boltbus semi-frequently intercity, and it was spacious. I'm relatively tall and found it had adequate leg room and room for a laptop.

The killer feature for me on multiple occasions was that they were one of the few transit options with enlightened bicycle policies. I once rode Boltbus to NYC, purchased a bicycle there, and took it back to Philadelphia in the space under the bus. They say you can only bring a bike if there is room under the bus, but I've never seen the cargo space fill up ever.

Frustratingly, even though Amtrak is starting to support bicycles, they do not allow bikes over 50lbs, which eliminates every e-bike or cargo bike that I've owned. This was not an issue on Boltbus.

I hope Boltbus resumes service soon.
Fair enough, and depends on your FOMO -- but with Zulip's topics/threads you'd be the one who makes this call. E.g. you probably want to skip some banter or some operational stuff, but still catch up with the topics you want to catch up -- and at your own pace.
Monitoring Our Health with Smartwatches
That's basically what the casino gaming industry is. They're done of the most physically secure systems against reverse engineering that you're likely to run across. More so than atms or a lot of other secure systems.
Which is much less accurate.
I'm curious and want to read one of these studies, can you share a link?
>It's a fun false equivalency

My comment was about how they are different, not equivalent.

You sound angry, but also I don't see any disagreement buried in your negative words.
3x more expensive (0.44B vs 1.2B) for NASA to do it. Slide #3 states NASA did not perform a detailed analysis of the estimates, but NASA concluded the number of employees, layers of management, and infrastructure were the key differences. And slide 6 almost sounds like NASA is saying "NASA shouldn't do this." Makes sense. They should use their budget and more comprehensiive oversight for zanier stuff, IMHO. Speaking of oversight, I also doubt SpaceX will be grilled anywhere near as severely as NASA when a death does occur, Elon has been upfront that this is risky stuff.
and for sure it will cause trouble for search engines to classify real content from generated content.

Fortunately, SEO spam is currently nowhere near as coherent as this, and often features some phrases that are a dead giveaway ("Are you looking for X? You've come to the right place!" or a strangely-thesaurised version thereof), but I am also worried about this new generation of manufactured deception.
Unless surface to capture rainfall is clean, it can be contaminated with animal droppings. Also if it's treated sewage, I'm not sure if it's treated enough against pathogens.

Contaminated crops usually uptake the pathogens from their water intake rather than from "dirty handling" and given it's within the produce itself, you cannot "wash it off". Cooking solves the issue, of course, but not all produce gets cooked.

It's the non-mining nodes that verify transactions and have the final say, and those can be run on home devices by regular people. That's the difference.
Not in my experience. Every account I can think of allows me to change my email address without verifying the old one.
There's mega bucks being thrown around ML-based infosec startups at the moment which seem to just do simple outlier detection on some SIEM logs...

This is one of the reasons ATC maintains a certain separation between landing aircraft. For larger airliners which produce more turbulence, this separation needs to be greater. As you can see from the video, wake turbulence migrates downwards over time, so after thirty seconds or so it's no longer an issue for other aircraft on the same glideslope.
Here's a little montage of a project I did involving thrust vectoring for a model rocket!

Presumably the fiat part comes from the power to create legal tender laws or the power to collect taxes denominated in a currency, or both. Cryptocurrencies don't have either of those powers.

That is, a fiat currency's value isn't based only on objective or subjective/speculative value, but also, to an extent, on the issuing state's power to require people to use or accept it in certain transactions.
interesting, so 2D would be a "matrix language" somewhat similar to Matlab/Octave?

it would be interesting to evolve a language from 2D or 3D to more abstract, higher dimensional representation of objects and topologies, like the cognitive spaces described in the article which operate on sparse vectors in a multidimensional system of coordinates (aka "grid cells").

i'm wondering if there is a language for defining network topologies like that, having some abstractions for JOIN/LINK operators to form & evolve a network [0] and FIND or FIND_SIMILAR operator for traversing that graph (looking for similar objects or clusters of objects), and something that allows to simulate "small world networks" effects, heuristics and shortcuts we see in real world graphs (including neural connectivity and distributed communication we observe in the brain)

> Power does not give up power.

This isn't true, look at for example the nineteenth amendment (men giving up power).
True, but note it is consistent with what I gave. There is more to memory and the study of the mind than Wikipedia. There are people with very good recall that do not fit that definition, or who recall things in a different way, but share similarities.
I'll translate the corporate speak for you: We have no ownership in the Thermapen, which is our flagship product. But there are some other insignificant products that we have some ownership of which we won't name because no one has heard of them. We just wanted to muddy the water a bit and make it sound like we own the Thermapen and aren't just a retailer.
One thing that really sucked about using the original .NET was that even using something like Elastic Beanstalk on AWS, your costs were basically 4 times what .NET Core is, with all the downsides of managing a Windows server (shudder).

Core is a complete contrast. For a fairly boring CRUD web service, entity framework is a genuinely good O-R mapper and deploying .net core web services in a container is so easy it's literally childs play with the AWS toolkit installed in visual studio.

I get it that a lot of developers just don't think it's cool enough and that it carries a lot of the same dependency hell as Node (well, it's better than Node for that) but for my use case it's trouble free and allows a single person shop to quickly update and deploy an entire backend system without having to manage servers or licenses or anything. Microsoft do get money out of me via the Visual Studio subscription, but I needed that for other reasons so I figure it's a sunk cost.
We're not forcing Prometheus to be anything, since we're not using it. What Prometheus wants to be is not really a relevant constraint in our design space. A topologically simple, scalable, multi-tenant cluster that presents as just a giant bucket of metrics to our users is what we wanted, and we got it.

There's an interesting discussion to be had about how our infrastructure works; for example, in the abstract, I'd prefer a "pure" pull-based design too. But things appear and disappear on our network a lot, and remote write simplifies a lot of configuration for us, so I don't think it's going anywhere.

I think you're reading a critique of Prometheus that isn't really present in what we're writing. Prometheus is great! Everyone should use it! Our needs are weird, since we're handling metrics as a feature of a PAAS that we're building.
