Intels 14nm fabs and tooling are now fully amortized and yields are going to be very much higher than 7nm/5nm nodes.

193i steppers are also dirt cheap, and most of their old fabs can also be modified for 14nm/10nm production, whereas EUV tools are 180 tonne behemoths that require overhead cranes and/or physical disassembly of the plant to move.

> Simple opened to customers in 2012 and was supposed to offer a digital-first approach to banking. In fewer words, it was supposed to be “a bank that doesn’t suck,” to quote one of its co-founders. The service had a website and app that broke down your spending and made it easy to categorize payments, send money, and set savings goals. It was purchased by BBVA in 2014.

Assuming that the user experience of Simple was a key selling point... does anyone know whether the BBVA user experience is now comparable? (Once the internal account conversion problems are fixed.)
At some point you have to question the forethought and awareness of the people tolerating this.

This is the most "keyboard warrior" comment I've ever read.
> They've made America look quite incompetent the past decade or so

This itself is American propoganda; the strategy is to be absolutely all over your opponents, knowing that they can't complain about it for fear of looking weak, while complaining loudly about how their meagre attempts are the end of the world, getting public and Congressional support for more spending.

Before the Snowden leaks, someone suggesting the US had the SIGINT capacities they actually did have would have be laughed out of serious circles as a crank, and you better believe they haven't been sat still over the 8 years since.

> But what I don't get is why so many people outright hate him.

I have heard from people who genuinely hate him. He is in the public eye and everyone in the public eye is hated by someone. But they are in the minority and most people just disdain him and the shallowness of his thinking from what I can see.

The biggest source of hate talk about Peterson tends to come from him and his supporters. What use is it being outspoken if it does not provoke rage or, at least, if you cannot recast disagreement as anger? He makes his bread-and-butter as someone who the lefties apparently hate - and his supporters splash around this narrative like a puppy sloshing up a bowl of soup.

> he has been called a Nazi apologist[0] by mainstream media organisations. I just... don't see it.

I kinda do, and I think he purposefully walks close to the line on this. He isn't outright calling for the killing of people based on immutable characteristics... but he's certainly asking if they have any use to society. His comments about people with < 80 IQ is a great example of pretty much everything for which I dislike him (false equivalencies, circular logic, and a complete inability to deal with disagreement). If you are sensitive to the rise of nationalism and inequality, these are the types of arguments that can* actually make you hate a person, particularly one with such awful, rabid fans.

Thank you. This is what I'd hoped would be (at least partly) the reception of this.
I would disagree with this. No petrochemical company I've worked with had OT/PLC/SCADA layers enabled for remote login. Other middle layers, like the historian, potentially. But not the control system itself.

It's possible to enable this but knowing the culture at Colonial Pipeline first-hand, I strongly doubt they did this during COVID.
> A nation state is a state in which a great majority shares the same culture and is conscious of it. It has been described as a political unit where the state and nation are congruent. It is a more precise concept than "country", since a country does not need to have a predominant ethnic group. [1]

Interesting.

>I can't count the number of times I've heard people praise others as "hard working"... in all sorts of contexts, in many different parts of the world, native or immigrant, hard work is praised to the heavens and one of the best things you can say about a person is that they're hard working.

this reminds me of how, in the US at least, society has settled into the pattern of saying "thank you" to the "heroes" who fight our wars, protect us from fire and keep our for-profit prisons full. it's because the rest of us have no interest in doing any of those things, so we blow smoke up their proverbial *. fuck the protestant work ethic, and fuck being guilted into wage slavery, for at least, you know, the period of your life that lasts from the time your young and healthy until you die.
Flutter on Linux has nothing to do with Google, cross platform development or choice.

Technically, Flutter is just another way of shipping apps, just like Electron and many other Electron-like alternatives.

Flutter on Linux just got attention because it was adopted by Canonical to build Ubuntu apps.

But it's just an illusion to think that Canonical chose Flutter because it is technically superior to GTK or QT.

Canonical relies heavily in GTK and Gnome for its products but has almost no influence over GTK and Gnome development when comparison with its main competitor, Red Hat. So they decided to use Flutter to escape from competitor influence or to have a technical advantage or both.

Absolutely. I got lucky with RSpec. I was doing the thing that was needed at the time.

The thing that causes me a lot of angst is that I used to feel like I was "on the frontier." Skating to where the puck is going.

These days? I am confused by where the puck ends up, and am left scratching my head.

They say "luck is the intersection of preparation and opportunity." As a straight white dude, opportunity is not my problem. But I increasingly find myself being ill-prepared for the weird places this industry is going. :/

Er, the victim here is a private company, not the government.
I had no idea this was an issue until my sister (a rider not a driver) mentioned it a couple days ago. It makes sense:

But he was exhausted from the daily stress of driving, after taking passengers on more than 15,000 trips over three years. And he was frustrated over being nickel-and-dimed, seeing his wages steadily decrease. The added risk of contracting the coronavirus was enough to convince him to log off in a panic in March 2020, quitting cold turkey after he dropped a passenger off near a hospital.

Now vaccinated and in search of good work, Gregg says he is in no hurry to return to Uber or Lyft. He said unemployment tided him over during the pandemic and a recent move to Modesto, Calif., from the San Francisco Bay area had lowered his cost of living.

I started following this subreddit which offers an interesting window into the trials and tribulations faced by Uber drivers:

"Molly is not an every day drug"

Ann Shulgin, wife of Alexander (Sasha) Shulgin, discoverer of MDMA, had this[1] to say about frequent MDMA use:

"When you use MDMA more often, I would say, more than 4 times a year you begin to notice that the experience is beginning to drop down. ... It's losing its magic.

College kids who were using it about once a month or even more often found out within a year that they couldn't get that magic back. Some people have decided to go off MDMA completely for a year or more and see if the old magical experience returns. For some people it does.

For me, I used MDMA once a week for an entire year, and did my writing of PIKHAL on that. That was my writing material. At that time we didn't realize this about the overuse of MDMA. I still cannot get anything out of taking MDMA. I've kind of burned that one out.

So I always warn people, first of all, make sure you have MDMA not something else, and take it no more often than four times a year maximum."

Incidentally, what passes of "molly" on the street is often not MDMA... sometimes this leads to fatalities.[2]

Test your drugs, people!

It's true. This is why I never understood why people used RSpec for real software. It was only intended to teach people how to think.
Speaking of finance, a recent headline read "Young Goldman Sachs bankers ask for 80-hour week cap".
Not the OP but for general browsing, I use them as a sort of append-only log. History can be good for trying to find something fairly recently, but my brain works in a manner where if I can remember the approximate timeline of something, I can usually find it if it was within the last 2-3 months just by scrolling through tabs.

After that I usually bookmark them all and nuke them.

Realistically, part of the idea is that if there's something of vague interest, I middle-click figuring I might revisit it at some point in the future. Usually this isn't the case, but as I know it'll wind up in my bookmarks at some point, there's still that possibility. Sometimes it even happens!

I do something similar to one of the siblings' replies with work though. One window per project/task with all associated tabs (e.g. documentation). Usually these don't get abused as much.

Sanctions against key people are probably more effective while not causing too much anti-American sentiment in the general population or a rally around the flag effect. Hard to rile up the people because a dodgy oligarch can no longer keep his roubles in a London bank, where Babushka Svetlana freezing to death 'cuz the Yankees cut the gas is a martyrdom event.

Hope I can learn from some of the answers here.
I've been asking this for decades, because I hate rush hour. It's now more obvious it used to be a huge problem with an easy solution... employers need to give employees more options as to when to work. Synchronizing 9-5 is incredibly short-sighted and puts so much strain on the system for no reason. Many roles don't need that window of time and could easily open things up for those that really need those times. I really hope 9-5 goes away and people just "show up" to work for meetings and maybe agreed office hours of some kind.
Agreed. That said, we need to do it now before some populist lunatic is compelled to attempt it.
It was intended to be airgapped, but we're talking about a pipeline that is several thousand miles long, with many pumping stations and delivery terminals. All it would take is one of the SCADA systems at one of those locations to suddenly open a valve and dump petroleum out into the environment to cause a disaster.

Or worse - rapidly open & close valves in rhythm, and the water hammer effect (the inertia of the petroleum in the pipeline) would cause the pipeline to destroy itself. The repair costs would be astronomical - you'd naturally have to repair the damaged sections, but then also re-test all the welds to see if any had been weakened by the pressure pulses.
I have no idea. Shutting down preventatively would be smart, and they had good leadership in their IT space while I was there. Friendly people who could make the hard decisions quickly, weren't afraid to pick up the phones to call people, and supported the growth of struggling employees without letting shoddy work get approved. They were also good at managing large multi-year and nation-wide project campaigns - a rare skill in this world.

That said, determining whether or not a system was compromised can be incredibly difficult. I'm sure they'll face massive pressure to turn the pipeline back on as it does supply almost half of the east coast with oil. I wouldn't want to be the person who has to make that call when it's impossible to prove a negative.

CPC had two explosions a few years back which caused gasoline shortages in new england, that may provide indication of the scale of disruption to expect.
What makes you think Keystone and this pipeline are the same in any way?

They are not, and you should know the difference before dragging political nonsense totally irrelevant into the topic at hand.

I know, some people just can’t help themselves but to color everything in a political binary.
At first glance, I disagree with about half of what is written here. I honestly get the impression that whoever wrote this missed the point. :/
I also find this fascinating. My thesis, if I have one, is that everyone learns and internalises things in different ways. And I just wanted to provide a new way of learning.
Many sites are in the middle of nowhere so it is inconvenient to go to them, so accessing them over a network saves a lot of travel time and cost.
It is just too expensive for the Ethereum network and not a large enough mixing set (haven't looked recently though) and nobody accepts it therefore requiring you to exit it if you want anything, but exiting will reveal who you are because there is nobody else it could be.

It goes to show, how few people are able to think for themselves.

The question originally asked, is "how to match HTML tags". Not how to parse. Not how to scrape. Simply "match". To which I would say, regex is perfectly suited to the task.

Furthermore - if one simply needs to scrape content, regex is again, perfectly suited. Scraping, is not parsing - and has no real need for a full blown DOM parsing library.

Cargo cult parrots like to say - if the HTML content changes, then one's regex will fail. Well, so will one's DOM parser.
Your own link points out that they don't have allied support nor the capability to do sustained blue-water operations, and that the US retains naval dominance.
OK. What I meant is for much longer time frame, not recent twenty or thirty years.
I think this format is the logical conclusion, and improvement over, mixing what are effectively global assertions on to every object.

The ideal is a single method (call it `assert` if you want) that takes a block, and does the right thing, is the overall best.

Related: last week was the first time in years that I actually drove to the airport and parked because it was significantly cheaper than Uber or Lyft. What was a pretty standard $30-35 trip has now grown to close to $60, before tip. I'm really curious to see if ridership demand will actually meet these new prices.
I highly suggest the book "The Last Night: Anti-Work, Atheism, Adventure" by Federico Campagna.

One of my favourite quotes:

> "Finally, we now have at our disposal a set of technologies that would be able to make most of human labour redundant. Instead of profiting from the ease allowed by a production devolved to machines, humans find themselves competing against technology and are thus forced to reduce their demands and expectations to the level of the machine. We try to work as much and as tirelessly as machines do, and by doing so we turn ourselves into second-rate production machines, never as efficient as the real ones." ~ Federico Campagna
Like every human, even our mentors can be flawed. This one turned out to be an utter shit show who tried to take my own creations and make them his own.

In his defense, he certainly had a hand in creating _me_, but he didn't have much to do with RSpec.
I’m curious — how would something like a data-diode work in real life? It makes sense, but what about something like TCP where the sending side needs the ability to receive ACK messages? Is a firewall (dedicated, if need be) enough?

Or would this be some other kind of physical interface that took some kind of read-only data (serial?) and sent it up the layers using TCP/IP, where only this box would be at risk?

Edit: looks like you answered part of this below — you suggest switching to UDP protocols.

It’s definitely dependant on the motivation whether it’s glamour, status, paying off debts, or wanting to change the world.

But the thing is, work (ethic) is essentially the only thing that one can control.

Other people may be more talented, or have more intelligence but work ethic comes from within. Just like being disciplined and working out and exercising (which is also similar as the motivations to train vary widely).

They aren't 'on the internet'. They are connected via several layers of networks with firewalls etc in between to a system which has direct access to the internet. There often is no practical way around this - data from these networks needs to be shared with business users, other companies, regulators and so on. Data diodes can be applicable in some situations, but I've never worked with a company that uses one. I don't know the details of this situation, but demanding that it be impossible to compromise infrastructure networks is ridiculous. If you throw enough money and resources at it, no network is secure.

Surely there may be life outside elsewhere on the universe, but the problem is the size of universe and the limit of speed of light, even for a signal (radio wave - electromagnetic wave), that travels at light speed, sent from Mars to Earth by some Nasa device, there is a
delay of more than 5 minutes! So if any form of advanced life send a signal to us, from the nearest galaxy, it will take more than 25 thousands years to arrive. That is the reason why is pretty unlikely that anyone in our life time will ever see an UFO or contact an UFO or extra terrestrial entity.
