> Why would you use Apple software/services for anything like this? You know it's backdoored.

Why would anyone use closed proprietary software/hardware/services for anything like this? You know it's backdoored, or soon will be, since putting backdoors in software is both a profitable business for corporations, and a convenient cheap way to find unwanted people for governments.
The problem that flat earthers have is that they cannot do most of these observations themselves.

Yes, they can. It can be as simple as a phone call to a friend on another continent. This isn't the 19th century. The Internet makes flat earthing absolutely insupportable.

That's what takes it past "wrong" into "stupid". As Hossenfelder points out, this is really a recent phenomenon created on YouTube. Before that it was just crazies in basements, repeating what they read from the 19th century.

If they want to do the experiments themselves, they can. It's neither difficult nor expensive. They don't because they don't want to, because they want to continue the ego boost they get from sussing out a supposed vast conspiracy.

It's clear that they're not merely wrong, but something else that is detrimental to them and to the rest of the world. I don't particularly care whether it's dubbed "stupid" or some other term of opprobrium. The psychology of why people prefer conspiracy theories to science is worth investigating, but it's not helpful to treat them as if they're smart people who merely happen to be incorrect about something.
Possible Miscommunication. Let me guess—

You’re dealing with an HR flunky at this stage?

Talk to the hiring executive, and possibly a more senior ranking HR leader.

They need to HEAR your voice.

First, That you are inclined to accept their offer and eager to join the team.

Relative to the agreement- It makes sense to get clarity on
the IP clause.

If they still push back.

I would get curious as to WHY? Essentially, understand the pictures in their heads.

Those live conversations will inform next steps.
Of all the tools and productivity hacks that have been offered to me throughout my 15ish year career so far, there are two “tools” I use more than any other system:

1) A barely comprehensible email sent to myself as a reminder to do something.

2) A barely comprehensible note jotted on a post-it note and hung off the bottom of my monitor.

Thanks Spencer!

The deposit rate that customers expect is higher than the rate they would get for storing liquidity with the fed so their spread is already negative. That means there already isn't anything for them to "take a few basis points for themselves" out of.

The Fed pays 10bps IOER or IORR rates https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/reqresbalances...

CDs are paying about 45bps eg https://www.salliemae.com/banking/certificates-of-deposit/?d...

So on a gross basis this plan already loses them 35bps before any costs they have themselves. If they actually planned to do this and the fed didn't approve the plan, it's because it's not economically viable not because it somehow posed a threat to the system.

Not really sure if this is required for Syncthing but I would (cautiously) set it up so that there are no cycles between the shares.

So if you have 3 machines that you need to sync, designate one as a hub which syncs with the other two, and the other two do not see each other. If you absolutely need to transfer data between two others as well, set up another completely independent share between them (a different directory on both machines).

I am not sure but fully automated replication setup with cycles might be impossible due to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAP_theorem.

(Addendum: I think actually what is needed is even stronger - you should make sure before editing files that the designated "central hub" node is available and has been synced.)
You wouldn't need fast charging for a 300mi trip, assuming you had level 1 charging at your destination. 300mi daily may be too much for at-home level 1, but at-home level 2 (washer/dryer plug) isn't hard to install at all.

Are contracting brokers not A Thing outside of Northern Europe? They’re basically salespeople on commission - they do all the legwork of finding assignments and hook you up for a 5-15% cut of your invoicing. I’d spend WAY more than 5-15% of my hours if I had to do my own sales.

I really recommended looking up type / layout in a library if you have a good one near you. The classic material on is, unsurprisingly, to be found in books.

Stuff you find online is US-centric and barely has a toe in the world of the printing past. That’s not to say it isn’t interesting, but it barely scratches the surface.

(Example: it is unlikely one would ever learn about mortising on The Internet, but “keming” jokes are ten a penny.)

It's actually the opposite as far as I know. There have been several well-researched articles in the last few years about this.

The automated flagging they use is tuned to find the common mundane violations, which tend to be by normal people with normal resources.

Common misconception. The three letter agencies do not really need to know the contents of your email body. They're much more interested in to/from, timestamps, and subject. Establishing that you communicate with a person and then getting their emails is much easier than playing with your encrypted email body.
It certainly will fund them to go stronger in the future. (And now invents bad behavior even more) The challenge is this isn’t this Colonial’s problem. It’s the next one.

At some point it will wake up the authorities to go after them more seriously too.
I mostly agree with @antirez's hypothesis points, because I am also writing novel these days, I think on my journey I need to make strict structure, perhaps if any, something like writing software that has feature to make functional novel writing works because in programming I am fan of FP, not imperative nor OOP.

btw, Congratulations.. Looking forward to your sci-fi novel @antirez

Anyway, I love how redis evolved, and its design from the beginning from @antirez. That's why I am eagerly to read his another craft.
Vat chicken would be awesome. Tissue culture is the future for meat. But textured vegetable protein is not.
You're right, that's what I meant. I didn't know the term "DTC" and should have explained the situation better.
It is kind of circular - which suggests there is nothing unique about time. "The only evidence for time is change". Not "change (of particle position say) is one evidence of time passing". No - the ONLY evidence is change - the change in particle position for Barbour's simple examples. Therefore, do away with this extra baggage of time, and just look at particle positions. After all, we tell time (and motion) by the position of hands of a clock, the position or angle of stars, or the oscillation in position/momentum of atoms.

What no one has done is understand consciousness or reduce biology to physics much at all. The math behind the above is extremely well known and ironed out. That is why some physicists now put the challenge on biologists and psychologists. The personal or subjective flow of time we all experience is theorized to be recreatable from this (timeless) framework. After all, all you have access to is a single snapshot and memories. Sensorial data and brain states. Registering and firing of nerves and neurons. Momenta of particles...why not? Just particle momementa in a table in some kind of sequential form (e.g. worldines in 4D spacetime block universe).

I completely agree this may end up being an impossible challenge, or that it's later shown to be misguided. But there are accomplished philosophers and physicists behind it, or at least sympathetic to it.
We are both entrepreneurs ourselves, and have lived through working with PE shops that might gordon gecko style fire everyone and flip. Its not our model, our ideal seller stays and grows within Moonshot, where we can both create more value. That being said there are sellers ready to cash out, and for them we have a platform so we can operate and grow the business.

On your point on brokers, we get our leads a variety of ways, including by building great relationships with brokers.

And your last point for sure the higher the ARR the higher the multiple generally (at extreme someone like Proctor and Gamble trades 20x-40x). What we find from our experience is that there are folks that are asset rich (meaning the company is ebitda positive) but cash poor because all the money goes back into inventory/product launches etc... Moonshot is flexible and can help them take money off the table, and then get upside in the future.
I don't care tbh.

The threat I'm protecting against isn't the state reading my emails, it's Spotify (for example, but there are many, many more) refusing to sign me up because my IP is in a different country to my bank account.

That's the thing, I'm not sure the 3.9 has failed to learn those skills. The student with the 3.6 and the 3.9 would both make good doctors, and once they get into med school, the attrition rate (at an elite program) is typically below 1%. But med school is designed, in part, to ensure that many of the people who would make good doctors are not allowed to do so. I'm not saying that is the only function of the AMA's control over credentialing, it is also there to train doctors and ensure quality. But the AMA clearly engages in cartel-like behavior This is done to limit new entrants, artificially reduce competition, and pump up salaries for the cartel members.

The student who cheated a 3.6 up to a 3.9 probably knows the material very, very well.

I don't excuse the cheating, but I do insist that we recognize the broken system that rewards it, and specifically recognize the widespread harm that happens when organizations like the AMA engage in cartel like behavior.

"Well, the reason for that is that we were concerned the public health community, and many people were saying this, were concerned that it was at a time when personal protective equipment, including the N95 masks and the surgical masks, were in very short supply.

The place where I see it as still necessary is transpiling code that uses es6 modules for web. If browsers all supported es6 modules and not half heartedly I think myself and a lot of devs could ditch Babel for good.
You can remove any settings you persisted in Firefox regarding whether to open a uri scheme in an external application or not by going to your profile folder and deleting the handlers.json file. Do this when Firefox is not open. This will clear any history if you've ever selected "always open links of this type with <blah>" in the popup.

But unfortunately, this exploit is just depending on the popup to happen at all, which I don't think you can configure from Firefox. If a uri scheme handler is registered with Windows, Firefox will ask you if you want to use it. Deleting the registered scheme handler from Windows is a matter of finding an entry in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT in the registry with a name that matches the scheme and deleting that entry. For instance, in regedit, if you find HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\spotify, you can delete it and no more handler for spotify://.

Whether or not this breaks the program probably depends on the program. If buttons and links in the application itself use this scheme, then it probably will. If they're handled directly without delegating to the OS, then maybe not. Worst that happens is you can always just reinstall the application if it stops working.

I'm looking around through Firefox docs about whether it's possible to block specific uri schemes from being handled at all but not finding anything. They do block data:// and have a strict origin policy for file://, but those are already on by default and I can't find anything related to blocking (or allowing) arbitrary uri schemes. That would be one obvious fix, though, and the researchers here did report this as a bug, so maybe an upcoming Firefox will offer this.
Maybe I'm cynical, but I don't see any innovation to be done in {AREANAME}. {PRODUCTNAME} has become much less useful over the past few years. If {MONOPOLISTNAME} cannot solve {AREANAME} with basically unlimited resources, how a tiny company going to?

Nice pasta, can't believe someone would use it unironically.

Maybe I'm cynical, but I don't see any progress to be done in government transparency. USA's government has become way more overreaching and much less transparent over the decades. If USA cannot solve this issue, how a small country going to?
Advice to my younger self (2019)
The Digital Marketing Evolution
In my country, laws compelling mask wearing outdoors in non-crowded spaces have been criticized by scientists (often the same ones advising the government on COVID) for various reasons, e.g.:

1) regardless of how you might think masks are unobtrusive, enough of the population will consider it annoying to wear a mask when jogging or cycling that they won't exercise. Even during this pandemic, public-health officials think exercise needs to be encouraged for long-term public health and less demand on the healthcare system.

2) The science shows that the risk of COVID spread outdoors in non-public spaces is negligible. If a health minister requires masks in spite of the science, he harms his own credibility. That means that the population might also start to ignore those measures that scientists say are essential.

Definitely wearing a mask indoors or in crowded outdoor spaces remains relevant. But there are legitimate grounds for criticism here and nuance, it isn't just inane outrage or defiance.

Conceptually, it's very much like an enum. Except that you can't enumerate them at runtime because there is no runtime representation. This can be very frustrating.

There's a hack, it looks like:

export const VERBS = ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE'] as const;
type VerbTuple = typeof VERBS;
export type Verb = VerbTuple[number];

A real enum would be better, but would violate the "typescript is just javascript" rule.
Talk: Web Typography (48mins)

I can recommend this 2018 talk on tips for Web typography:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbIZX6tE9JY

The tips are:

1. Don't trust computers

2. Use the default font size for paragraph text

3. Adjust type size according to reading distance

4. Adjust the font size if the typeface requires it

5. Set tables to be read

6. Resize display text as you would an image

7. Reduce your playload

8. Optimise page render timing

There is a lot more detail than suggested by the headings above. I found the talk informative and helpful.

Course: Typography for Developers (2hrs)

Thanks for the link, it is interesting.

However the conclusion about the low efficiency of the electronic converter for the rotary transformer is no longer valid.

With modern switches of silicon carbide or gallium nitride and with resonant soft switching techniques, the converter should operate at much higher frequencies and at much lower losses.

This is what has probably enabled today the manufacturing of a high-efficiency synchronous motor with a rotary transformer by Mahle.

Match is a plague and needs to be stopped. They homogenize all their assets and thus break dating in the same poorly thought out, woke signaling, profit driven kind of way. All dating apps are broken in the same ways because Match has broken them. It was not always this way.
I said this up a little further but, I think there's realistically no way to avoid an ORM when implementing DDD in an OO language, using an SQL database.

Like, like it or not, DDD's wheelhouse was going into Java shops and telling them how to structure their apps. Those shops use objects and they almost certainly (though not absolutely certainly) use a relational database. You're not gonna get away from mapping your relational data to your objects, the only choice you have is to use an off the shelf ORM, or to build your own.

So I think that's mostly inarguable. I do think building an app on a document database is interesting though, because then there's no need for the "mapping", so to speak (depending on how static/dynamic your OO language is), but I don't necessarily see how that fact means that ORMs aren't DDD.

But broadly, the case I'm referring to is:

- We wanted to implement DDD

- We were using Django, i.e. QuerySets and Models

- We wrapped QuerySets to make "repositories"

- We wrapped Models to make "entities"

- This was silly (read: more confusing, slower, and a waste of engineering resources), because QuerySets and Models are already DDD, because ORMs are DDD
The problem with Nguyen is that while among white people, it's an uncommon name, among other populations it's INCREDIBLY COMMON, which isn't common knowledge. I think this a pretty negligible example though. Nowhere near as egregious as wondering if people are related because they're just the same race.

Hierarchy I don't believe is the right term. The homogeniety of norms is what matter. White women have surely encountered microaggressions. Non-normative white men as well. Honestly everybody differs from the norm in some way. The magnitude and frequency are what make it matter.

Someone thinking your last name implies kinship is whatever. Someone thinking you're a secretary because you're a black woman when you're the CEO is a big big problem.
This seems to be a well thought out solution

> Bad code doesn't work.

> It's very hard, and maybe impossible, to determine if a novel "works".

I wonder if there is a an assumption here about what it means to "work" vs to be "bad". Psychologically, maybe it's helpful to view each person as their own interpreter, and there is more variation there compared to (e.g.) a specific python interpreter.

But even in python I could write totally not-python code, and have the python interpreter run it (e.g. by writing a codec). And I could write beautiful code that throws an error, and have a person debug it for <some_purpose>, and in meeting that purpose it might be working.

I think the challenge here is that "work" is being defined in a narrow, technical sense for code, but is recognized in a much broader, social/cognitive sense, for novels!
