Yeah, that was the popup I was referencing - although it's much smaller for you than it was for me - maybe my low res laptop screen is a benefit there. It was noticable enough to clue me that something weird was afoot, but I'm sure it could be disguised further.

I think a fix could be: always show a select-program prompt even for unknown schemes (perhaps with a built-in link to the add-ons store a la Windows to find a program to open the "file" ;) ), never fail to a different page context than a successful launch would go to, and make the don't-ask-again checkbox domain specific to prevent random domains doing drive-by automatic launch detection. That seems to solve it without being too disruptive to existing convenience.
from this article, it seems like the thrusters must be doing lots of little micro-adjustments, similar to balancing a pencil upright on your hand, or riding on a Segway, correct?

I'm super interested in understanding what the actual mechanism is like for "aiming" the thrusters in different directions. I imagine they must need freedom of movement in a full 360-degree circle to adjust in all possible directions. How the hell is that achieved??
> There's enough disagreement about what this means that its difficult to say.

I remember a talk HR was giving about remote work. Someone asked about COL and salary adjustments. HR didn't mention cost of living, but they did mention cost of labor. That was a new term to me.

> Normally you just use a regular Prometheus server to do this. Why add another, different technology to the stack?

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.

> Usually if an employee is staying solely or mostly because of the handcuffs, they're not producing their best work

I know plenty of people with handcuffs, including me, and this doesn't apply to any of them. I think that claim is common but is in fact not justified in the real world. Your top performers are basically top performers for personality reasons.

Sure, if your company spends 10+ years getting to liquidity, which became popular in the mid-201x because not a single one of them was even remotely financially sound and the markets weren't ready to bite that off yet, you had people staying years longer than they should have, but it is not nearly as big a problem as people claim and was, mostly, because the real value was being captured by early/founder insiders in late stage super-sized PE rounds instead of going public.
Interesting, would you mind to point to one of such edit you mention? I cannot see to what you refer. I see removal of newsmax URL few times, however that linked article is not supporting of Harper's original as I read. Perhaps I am not viewing enough backwards in history.

It’s not that tricky, because the investors are getting a valuation. The money I risk/invest/forego now because it’s a startup maybe ought to get the same valuation the investors are getting, that’s all.

That is not a vulnerability, it’s by design!"

"2/ We designed our quotes to be shareable. If someone wants to send their quote to their family, friends, or mortgage bank, they can. Btw, turns out people post their quotes on Pinterest and UX blogs, and these are the ones they stumbled upon"

"3/ Since Google indexes Pinterest and blogs, these links end up being discoverable on Google."

Aren't you forgetting the weight of the high pressure tanks and fuel cell and heat recovery turbine in your energy density for hydrogen?

A battery has power leads coming off of it, hydrogen doesn't, should I quote electrons wh/kg instead?

I did make a mistake though I believe the in development hydrogen fuel cell I got the number from was only 1800 wh/kg, my bad.

If batteries can reach 2000 wh/kg then a 4 megawatt-hour battery would be around 5000 lbs and give 2000 miles range, it would be on par with current diesel drive trains.

Yes, those comments are right up there with the 'what have the Romans done for us' list.

Like him or hate him, no point denying Musk his achievements, which are more than many of us here will manage in our lifetimes and Musk appears to be far from finished. His biggest enemy at this point is himself, that unstable streak is a real worry. But here's to hoping that he will notch up a longer list of achievements.
Like I said - this shouldn't be attributed to Tesla as much as it can be attributed to battery advances. Tesla capitalised on it first and in the best way (with a luxury/aspiration car) and that's worth something for sure - but it's not like it made a breaktrough that would take others 10 years to figure out.

In fact "affordable" Teslas (model S) came after competition like Leaf which was a best seling electric car up until recently.

What you're looking for is Trust Vector Control(ler). Most modern rocket engines physically gimbal the engine around with ~two linear actuators around a fixed point at the top of the engine. All of the plumbing and connections to the rest of the rocket must then be flexible.

In the US. Can't they legislate against that? Are we going to be stuck forever in the year 2000 because of such fears?
I have heard anecdotally that the situation was quite different in the past. For example, Google became what it is today in part because their early offers were outstanding for the time, compared to what the typical VC/IPO gives today. I would love to know if there is concrete data supporting this. I can't easily find it myself on the net.
Randal O'Toole has been crashing rail conversations for years, always with wrong and misleading facts. It's not like he doesn't know when he's off (like his argument about the topography of Japan). He just bends the data however he can to support his anti-rail argument.

Rail doesn't always make sense and rail projects can absolutely be poorly managed. But O'Toole adds nothing but noise to the conversation.

Why is .NET required for survival? There seem to be many large companies that have enterprise clients and yet have no .NET code...

The reason is most likely that software is rarely delivered by installable binary. SaaS over the network as popularized by Salesforce is the prevailing method now. Makes it so much easier to deliver updated code.

I also suspect WASM to become more widely used than .NET at startups and more generally in web based applications.
The insurance side isn’t preventing or mitigating these attacks though. The audits and compliance requirements are convoluted systems focused on establishing fault and blame, presumably so claims may be denied.

Even in these “secure” environments the bar is still remarkably low.
Agreed. There wasn't one thing in Sapiens that I hadn't already encountered in another book (sometimes written a decade or more earlier).

I would recommend The Great Human Diasporas by Cavalli-Sforza, Ancestor's Tale by Dawkins, and Against the Gods by Bernstein to tickle similar parts of your brain.
Then DNA can be private too

(To be clear here in europe medical records are held by healthcare services, but they are protected. They are not private property tho)
What are your thoughts on the fact that this bill may give the controlling government authority on what content is allowed and what gets prominently featured? Can this not be a used to amplify certain ideologies while suppressing others? Whatever the stated intent is, I would argue the law should not permit any encroachment on something as fundamental as free speech. It seems former members of the CRTC do see this bill as enabling an attack on free speech (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-former-crtc...).

Completely agree. If interested check out the documentary Zero Days. Insane, essentially the NSA in tandem with Israel took down Iran's nuclear program by impacting their industrial control units. Many Zero Days were used with nearly an unlimited budget.

The what?

If you mention Tesla to literally anyone, they know about the cars. The product, and the marketing of it, have definitely brought EV's into the mainstream. Before that, very few consumers knew anything about EVs, maybe with the exception of the GM EV1. Now electric cars are a common sight on the road.
It seems appropriate to regurgitate the one about the bear and the hikers....

Two friends are in the woods, having a picnic. They spot a bear running at them. One friend gets up and starts running away from the bear. The other friend opens his backpack, takes out his running shoes, changes out of his hiking boots, and starts stretching.

“Are you crazy?” the first friend shouts, looking over his shoulder as the bear closes in on his friend. “You can’t outrun a bear!”

“I don’t have to outrun the bear,” said the second friend. “I only have to outrun you.”

In our scenario, the bear is the ransomware attackers, and Colonial Pipeline is one of the runners.

There are hundreds or thousands or tens of thousands more runners that the bear can go after.

You don't need to have perfect security over every aspect of your operation (though you should of course aspire to that). In particular you don't need to give up because in theory someone could infiltrate your offsite backups.

You just need to make things hard enough that the ransomware guys will go after an easier target.
From Wikipedia on eidetic memory:

> To constitute photographic or eidetic memory, the visual recall must persist without the use of mnemonics, expert talent, or other cognitive strategies. Various cases have been reported that rely on such skills and are erroneously attributed to photographic memory.

Eidetic memory is exceedingly rare more on the "single digit adults have ever had it", many scientists don't believe it is a thing. However, you also have things like:

> von Neumann also possessed the power of absolute recall. Once he was asked to recite “A Tale of Two Cities” before being asked to stop after a perfect 15-minute recitation.

> John von Neumann was able to memorize a column of the phone book at a single glance.

This is on a whole other scale than what the original poster said.

Oh, totally agreed 100%. I’m just saying that there is a way to value a time investment that is on par with what financial investors are buying into. It doesn’t need to be some hand-wavy idea of who’s ‘risking’ more due to the unknown chance the startup might fail, and it doesn’t need to speculate about who would be hurt worse. It can be a purely fair and financial idea for early devs; their stock compensation value is the discrepancy between what the startup pays and what their market rate is.
Is $99 a year really "a fortune"? It's less than the price of a Netflix subscription.
In 2019, ProPublica wrote how paying ransoms benefit insurance companies.

They called this: "The extortion economy: How insurance companies are fueling a rise in ransomware attacks. Even when public agencies and companies hit by ransomware could recover their files on their own, insurers prefer to pay the ransom. Why? The attacks are good for business." [0]

Aurochs were wild cows and bulls and definitely not horses.
The thrust vector control method in this case is gimbaling, and it basically means using linear actuators (I think these are commonly hydraulic, and Falcon 9's Merlin engines actually use the kerosene fuel in the TVC hydraulic system) to point the engine in a different direction:

I own $0 crypto. Good in theory but if you look at it very closely, the whole thing is a racket that enriches a few people manipulating the market and enchants millions of speculators who want to 'get rich quick'.

I used to be a big fan of space mega constructions until I got further into my engineering career. Now whenever I think of a O'Neill cylinder or other mega constructs I can't help but imagine stress fractures, metal fatigue, vibrations and resonant frequencies, cascading failures, and high-risk repairs.

It surely could be done, but the amount of trial and error required and the potential for high stakes failures is a daunting challenge.
I really agree with your point. I don't see how most startups could make competitive offers with unicorns/FAANG, unless it was for non-monetary reasons like a promotion.

I didn't search for the Charter, not because of laziness, but because I'm an american immigrant to Canada and I'm familiar with both the Charter and the Constitution, and a chunk of case law surrounding both. Americans thinking that their Constitution will protect them up here is an extremely common misconception, and for example, a witness who says "I plead the fifth" will get laughed out of court (and perhaps into jail).

I would submit that pedantry is the very basis of law, and happily accept that label in this context. But "that's a law in a different country" is hardly a minor detail.
Back in the 1980s, some Stanford AI lab people were talking about self-replicating robots on the moon by 2000. I asked "how soon can you do it in Arizona". They didn't like that.

I'd like to see a system that, allowed to order any stock catalog item on Amazon or Digi-Key, could self-replicate.
But there are a lot of average persons. If a whole bunch of average persons starts buying up gas, toilet paper or withdraw money from the bank all at the same time ( the key point being at the same time relatively speaking ), the gas station, store or bank will be out of product/service very soon. I'd imagine, on a given day, only a small fraction of car owners in a particular vicinity fill their tanks.
All of them, since it restrains Congress wherever its actions might apply.
Back in the Tesla Roadster days it was basically something fans of supercars and a few geeks knew about.

Nisan Leaf was way more recognisable than a Tesla for a while.

And also things like Prius really prooved the point that electricity can be used to power cars.

Not knocking on Tesla, they have a great brand and helped spark interest and speed up demand for EVs. But saying they advanced the adoption of EVs by 10 years is ridiculous.

the car, particularly for americans but also in other countries (mainland china being a prominently rising example), literally embodies individualistic expression, expansive freedom, and bold adventurism, as 50+ years of tv car ads can attest. that's not to pass an overly harsh judgement on any of those things, but rather, to say the balance is out of whack and has been for a while.

in LA, outside of a very few of the oldest core districts, even our supposedly sleepy neighborhood streets are often 40+ feet wide (note that cars are typically 6-7 feet wide), with 15 feet of public easement, and 15+ feet of mandatory setbacks, so urban land use gets out of whack real quicklike that way.

From https://vitalik.ca/general/2020/09/11/coordination.html "A large mining pool publicly showing how they have internally distributed their nodes and network dependencies doesn't do much to calm community members scared of mining centralization. And pictures like these, showing 90% of Bitcoin hashpower at the time being capable of showing up to the same conference panel, do quite a bit to scare people".

If you follow the link, you'll see a picture of 7 people that controlled 90% of Bitcoin hashpower at the time. Remind me how that's more fair to an arbitrary holder of Bitcoin, than say, letting the holders have the power with staking?
Wrong topic?
It's not much different from the current fiat monetary regime. Those closest to the money spigot benefit the most... cryptocurrency opens it up to individuals rather than limiting it to governments.
It's sketchy they do not have separate repositories for user pages vs marketing pages. With the obvious sensitivity of user data, mixing very different applications seems unwise.
You discount the entire category of users who don't "hold" any cryptocurrency at all, but use it as a medium of transfer - buying as much as they need and then transmitting it elsewhere.
