> BPMN doesn't quite differentiate between its activities in terms of "does this need user interaction" vs "process this thing".

User interaction is a distinct BPMN Activity Type, so BPMN can make this distinction quite unambiguously. Concrete BPMN implementations, IIRC, use varying amounts of the spec and have varying degrees to which Activity types are functionally rather than merely visual distinguished, so a particular BPMN tool may or may not make the distinction or treat it as significant.

Huh, cryptocurrency existed in 1989, when the first ransomware was active? Did the author even google the word "ransomware?"

Wire transfers and all types of pre-paid voucher services were used well before cryptocurrencies were even created.
Vincent van Gogh. Born 2043, Brabant, Netherlands. Child prodigy in arts, sciences, and engineering. Graduated from Erasmus University, Rotterdam in 2055 with joint masters in particle physics and fine arts. Exhibited at the Louvre at age 14. Discovered a universal nontoxic perpetual energy source at 16 and joined staff of the Huge Monad Collider that same year as doctoral researcher in functional cosmology. There, proved that spacetime is lazily evaluated and that speed of light arises as input latency in underlying algebra. Disappeared November 23rd, 2063, leaving behind notes for a "personal temporal debugger" and a diatribe, hidden in a stencil of rats, railing against the prevailing culture of universal citizen tracing. Last sighted in background of art documentary, Exit Through The Gift Shop (2010); current whereabouts within continuum unknown, assumed to be still at large. Eartags never found.
I was curious about the cost and looked it up, the estimates I found were in the $5-15 billion range. Not that it's out of reach or anything, but it's quite a bit more than $3-4B.

For example, this TSMC fab planned in Arizona is estimated to cost $12 billion: https://www.forbes.com/sites/willyshih/2020/05/15/tsmcs-anno...

Very important question. I believe information is a percievable or measurable difference in states of a thing at two different time instants or difference in states of two things. A state of a thing exists only because it can be distinguished from another state; that is, the state exists only because it can encode information relative to another state.

How fast information can travel? Just as fast as one can distinguish one state from another. This assumes that there exists an agent capable of distinguishing between the states. How fast can this be done? It doesn't start at one state and end at another state. It is instantaneous recognition of the difference. The information is created just when the difference in states is recognized. There is no start or end. It is an event. Events do not have speed.

I don't think that sounds like the "boring truth". The Sonny Bono Act had wide support from the copyright industry [1]. Supporters also said that since perpetual copyright is constitutionally forbidden, that it should be "forever less one day".

That the extension was done under the guise of harmonization only shows that the lobbying was done one country at a time. That there is "only" $4 million/year doesn't show that Disney has a small effect, but rather how unbelievably cheap it is to buy a congressional vote.

WiFi has always been developed on being retro-compatible. The good side is you can use something from 2003 with AP from today (let's ditch the 5MHz and 10MHz bandwidth), the downside is you have a big stack of technical debt in most of the chipset out there, which might be why this kind of things happens.

Not having any access to the firmware source (thanks FCC) does not help at all.

Shopify CEO email to managers: We are not a family
The federal government has the authority to appoint federal assessors to local property tax districts, to generate valuations for a national property taxation, and then share these updated valuations with state and local governments, which may then independently decide to use the same valuations for purposes of state and local taxation. It did so in order to collect the 1798 national property tax under John Adams and the three 1813-1816 national property taxes under James Madison.

The federal government also has the ability to regulate state and local taxes using the interstate commerce clause. After the provision in the Articles of Confederation limiting the federal government to collecting direct taxes in proportion to state land values was abandoned, the supporters of direct taxation influenced by the French Physiocrats lobbied for the interstate commerce clause in order to ban state and local governments from collecting excise and sales taxes on goods sold across state lines, so that state and local governments would be forced to rely more heavily on property tax.

First mistake: you're trying to apply your usual reasoning to an area governed by emotions.

Second mistake: you're glossing over the obvious. "Save to personal playlist" tracks you by keeping a list of things you told it to save.

Third mistake: you're forgetting the wider context. Google is such a juicy target, that the criteria are becoming "can an adversary convince a clueless person this deserves a jillion credits fine?" Children's data is as toxic as medical data and you don't want it anywhere near your service, unless you really really have to and both legal and privacy agree there's no remotely viable alternative.

People mention how building new fabs in the U.S would be a worthwhile yet extremely costly and risky investment that require a monumental undertaking that could only be done through massive tech firms and the U.S government.

What I don't see mentioned too often is promoting chip design. Compared to building a fab, making a startup that simply designs chips should be straightforward but through my initial research into it, that's not the case. Tech cos like Google and Amazon have already begun endeavors into in-house fabless chip design through ex.: TPU and Graviton, but hardware startups seem to be few and far between (there are a few like SciFive and Cerebras, but it's not like they are exactly ubiquitous).

In part it has to due with the huge complexity of modern day chips and the fact that if any new startup wants to be competitive it requires hiring talent with deep and niche industry experience.

I think what's more of an issue is accessibility for newcomers into the space. From what I've read, the top 3 EDA companies control the vast majority of their market and license their tools for hundreds of thousands of dollars. These tools aren't accessible to the majority of students and most likely fledgling startups. I know these tools are extremely complex, but it always stuck me as odd how IDEs like VS Code and the ones made by JetBrains are free or are priced so that the vast majority of developers (whether as individuals or as companies)can afford it, while the top of the line EDA tools are only accessible by established players. I know there is an open source effort to change this, but there's a long way to catch up.

Maybe things will change. AMD started out reverse engineering Intel chips and now are beating Intel in most metrics. Hopefully hardware becomes more hyped over time just as machine learning and software startups have.

> "A space elevator makes no sense on the moon. First of all the orbit is unstable and you would need constant station keeping."

In a typical space elevator, the counterweight end of a space elevator is not in orbit. The center of mass of a space elevator would be above geostationary orbit, so the counterweight would be moving substantially faster than orbital speed at its altitude. A space elevator is held taut by centrifugal "force".

For the Moon it would work a bit different; the Moon doesn't spin fast enough for a purely centrifugal elevator. Instead the elevator would pass through one of the Lagrange points, in effect being held taut between the gravitational pulls of Earth and the Moon.

The Lagrange points aren't stable orbits either, but technically the space elevator would be going through a Lagrange point, not sitting inside that region in orbit. I am not sure how much station keeping would be required. You might still be right overall here.

From Spiegel:

"Am Dienstag gab Caspars Behörde bekannt, dass sie eine Anordnung erlassen hat, die es Facebook – also der Mutterfirma von WhatsApp – verbietet, personenbezogene Daten von WhatsApp zu »eigenen Zwecken« zu verarbeiten.

Gemeint ist damit, dass Facebook jene Daten zum Beispiel nicht für sein Anzeigengeschäft nutzen darf. "

Roughly translated as: Whatsapp is not allowed to share personal user data with Facebook for Facebooks own use, for example Facebook cannot collect data for the purpose of advertisement (and my guess is any other form of monetization). Facebook says further down in the article they currently don't share data between the services for those purposes.

I also think you're confused about the scope. It's no problem that WhatsApp uses its own userdata, the problem is WhatsApp sharing data with Facebook, which is a distinct service.

I was hoping this would be a variant of Good Cop Bad Cop as a technique applied to datascience. It's not.
Interesting to think about.

On one hand, this could cause other countries to pay more attention to the situation, since -they- will still be dependent on TSMC and may not have the US doing all the posturing.

But that's assuming we wound up truly 'de-coupled'. TSMC tends to be the leader in fab tech, and I am fairly certain any near term plans will involve providing incentive for TSMC to build more fabs in the US.
Certainly, especially when it’s an actual existential crisis that they and their families are going through.
I miss being able to go into those shops! Nowadays, the closest thing that exists is phone repair shops and they generally don't even know what soldering is. I'm not knocking their business; but something inside me remains irritated knowing that we're more advanced yet we make less reliable/serviceable pieces of equipment.
And as a result of the extreme cost of launches, extreme care is taken to make the satellites themselves incredibly reliable. Which is part of why we're not in a full-on Kessler cascade yet.

I wonder, if cheaper launches lead to downward pressure on satellite price and complexity, will that also involve downward pressure on testing and reliability? Will that lead to more dead satellites in orbit, more collisions, and a sudden end to the good old days?

Does that suggest a need for regulatory requirements for reliability and control, which had previously been enforced by simple market dynamics?
Which gives me another opportunity to hype “Dragon’s Egg” a novel by Robert Forward.

I thought this post was about the book, rather than the language. The book is supposed to be up to date for Rust 2018. I suppose there's probably no need to wait for the book to catch up to the language.
The libc crate's test does actually parse the C header files to generate tests for conformance.

There are a few big reasons to consider avoiding parsing the C headers directly:

* The C headers might use features in C that are not compatible with the C parser or Rust ABI itself. (C unions used to be a big headache, and bitfields probably still are.). Manually specifying only what you want to import avoids that issue entirely.

* As an extended note to the above, many libraries (particularly your system's implementation of libc) are actually not written in any standard C dialect but instead have a lot of compiler-specific things tacked onto it that make it even more difficult to parse and handle correctly than regular C/C++.

* Parsing the C headers requires having them installed and being able to find them correctly. When you start dealing with cross-compilation toolchains, this can be a major hassle.

That's like saying a first date is in indication of a couples future. It's a bit silly. Sure, if it's absolutely chock-full of errors that could be a sign, but one or two are the kind of things you're supposed to ignore.

Only because people have been trained to judge others based on petty things, so people have responded in kind. Not because it's actually a valuable effort, but to give people one less reason to throw it in the "No" pile.

How so? I wrote from my gut here and am not one to think I have all the answers (far from it).

I wasn't attempting to dismiss leadership in any way, shape, or form. Merely calling out the difference between personally "doing" (in the sense of small business) versus the "orchestrating" that is more typical in a larger company.

I've worked in both and have seen how people that spent their career in a large company may struggle in a small business setting. No shame. Just a (often overlooked) distinction.

Congrats on launching. But how is this different from frontendmentor?

I have some feedback. Given that other sites are giving exact same service, this is not of much use to me. However, what I need is step by step instructions on how to accomplish a given template. I do not need finished code. I need instructions on how to build each component, styling of each header, each "card", how to use bootstrap rows and make sure nothing over flow, make sure images are not clipped inside grid layout etc. There are individual tutorials for each part but it has become hard to find tuorials for entire project.

Some youtube videos come close but since they are made by experts, its never clear what can go wrong and how one should reason about it.

I guess I want annotated solutions and not finished solutions. I gave same feedback for other sites, but they agreed its needed but didnt do anything about it.
