Most Christians would at least be familiar with a few Zoroastrian figures--the Magi (aka Wisemen) who bring gifts for the baby Jesus. Magi, or at least a mythology of them, had been considered peculiarly knowledgeable and wise since at least Aristotle.
Southwest is actually really good about these sorts of things. You can rebook and apply the full ticket price to another flight (or at least that was the case last time I flew SW). Their normal customer service level is fantastic which makes the cases where it fails that much more dramatic.
From a corporate perspective (an my general belief) I wonder if making IP protections shorter in time would help this.

We lengthen IP protections, but todays world technology is moving faster than ever so you'd think it makes sense to reduce them. Originally patents were 14 years. Shorter patent length would encourage companies to focus further on innovation and logically you'd think things like industrial espionage would be somewhat reduced, at least at consumer levels, as the window/incentive to steal reduces based on the lower need. Plus this would make things fairer to companies that dont steal IP vs those that do.
I smell some hope in this "completing". Let me dispell it: the cycle has just begun. Biden said that in the next 10 years things will change more than in the past 50. P.S. and yeah, I was one of those voters.

It wasn't like that at all when I worked there. Quite the opposite, people were very quiet so we could do focused work, we did our work, then went home. We usually ate lunch together. Many of my coworkers had kids to go home and take care of. No one was looking to hang around. I'm sure it varies throughout the company though.
China operate the most used rail system in the world. They probably have the most knowledge just like Japan on the economics of operating a rail system.

Bah, long time! Emailed you! :)
The breakdown of global supply chains and service workforces continues. My wife and I have embraced learning to build and fix things ourselves whenever possible. It's worked well for us but there is a limit--I'm not a licensed plumber or electrician, for example. How much longer before modern life is no longer possible, I wonder...
They also have slightly more legroom than United, American, Delta, etc. That alone is enough for me to pick SW when I have a choice.
By "wipe your disks" I meant issue a secure erase assuming you have a SSD like Intel's where it would overwrite an encryption key and be done in short order.

The contents of RAM in this scenario shouldn't be particularly vulnerable. If they're trying random passwords on the actual machine without any attempt to preserve the disks beforehand there's zero chance they're about to take the machine apart and extract what's left in RAM before it's gone.

>Potentially of interest: `__noreturn machine_real_restart` in reboot.c

Just write "b" to /proc/sysrq-trigger, it'll immediately trigger an ungraceful reboot without trying to unmount filesystems or flush the cache.
> Education - especially science - is pretty lackluster almost everywhere in the world.

You're wrong, just because it is not visible to you doesn't mean it doesn't exist.You only have to visit a random science postgrad program and see students from all over the world represented - even at prestigious US universities, having immigrated after doing their undergraduate studies elsewhere. Their science education is good enough for Ivy league admissions departments, and those who get admitted are the very tip of a large iceberg.

> Most of the effects of globalization have already been felt - especially for knowledge workers.

This is a bold claim, which I think is wrong: a lot of developing countries don't have sufficient infrastructure (yet) to unlock their full potential. The talent is already present, but lacking connectivity and experience. The population share of the developing countries will balloon over the next few decades as developed world population flattens or shrinks.
If there is an in-memory filesystem library for this, it could be useful for unit testing things that want to write files.
I'm not sure I agree. Any valuation for an asset is going to be expressed in terms of other assets. If lowering interest rates to near zero causes a dramatic rise in prices for a number of assets like we have seen in the past year, this doesn't necessarily mean the assets are priced unfairly in relative terms. Same goes for any regulation which creates a favorable environment for a rise in a particular type of asset - that asset may be fairly priced given the context.

Usually bubbles by definition have some level of irrationality. The price of asset(s) far exceed what is rational given the context. For example tulip mania, dot com bubble. I guess we do refer to the 2008 housing bubble and I would agree with you there that was driven just as much by systemic issues as opposed to just irrationality.
The lack of market forces make no infrastructure

“So lets improve municipal transportation options by putting a multipurpose device in everyone’s pockets that connects to this completely parallel wireless network, which is yet to be built, connected with high bandwidth cables underground - no it wont use the telephone poles why do you ask - and itll will have a random pricing scheme, so …. what does the county board think of how this fits in the budget?”

Love it! Got through easy AI pretty quickly, still working on medium, only a few rounds in.

Echoing/jumping off of a few comments:

- I love the hex grid. Hexagons are bestagons and I bemoan the fact we went decimal and dozenal.

- I actually don't mind the intuitive play style that much. It's kinda fun and mitigates overthinking

- however, more obvious visual indication when a cell is locked would be nice

- It might be interesting to see a more quantitative indicator of the influence of a cell. The shade alone is hard to parse. However I disagree with numbers (or maybe make it a setting toggle). I'd personally prefer a purely visual/geometric.

- One way to possibly indicate would be coloring sub-shapes inside the hexagon. Not sure if that would look too busy.

- This game is super addicting. Nice work all around!
"... it would stand little chance against the competing platforms."

Little chance of what. It sounds like this is framing the web as some sort of commercial venture. And Google is the gatekeeper. A venture where they can effectively make sites "appear" or "disappear" from the web and they decide what the public will or not see. Google watches the traffic, shows what is "popular" and buries the rest. Everyone begs for Google's favour to show their site "at the top, on page one". If not an organic listing, then Google will let anyone pay to be "at the top, on page one" in the form of an ad that looks much like a search result.

That's a very dysfunctional "public platform". (The Google founders wrote about how dysfunctional it was to sell out that way in their 1998 paper announcing their new, alternative search engine.) No one ever agreed the only way the "public platform" would be useful is for a few big corporations to control it. That is a recent idea held only by those who stand to (continue to) benefit from its realisation.

News Corp is bad, Google is bad, Facebook is bad, but c'mon this does not mean the web has to be bad. If one cannot see the difference between "the web" and a few big corporations, then some "reframing" is defintely in order. The web is a medium not a destination. Google, Facebook and others trying to emulate them are all acting as middlemen on the medium.
Yeah, I agree. It's much easier to say now though. I think at the time, I just didn't want my mom to have to deal with any added stress so I went along with it. I accepted (and still accept) what I did. Was it in my best interest to talk? Not necessarily. Am I mad at my mom for it? No, she was just being a mom. A little naive, but still a mom. :)
I'm showing my age, I hope not any bias.
I think people often lean too far in favour of "self-documenting code," and "what" comments wind up being underused. The idea of self-documenting code is that the documentation is encoded in the function and variable names, more or less. Sure, extraneous comments should usually be avoided, but frankly, sometimes a couple sentences of plain English is just clearer. I'd rather people just tell me what's going on than try to squeeze it in to a few camel-case words if that would compromise the clarity.
I'm not convinced. The criticism against the agencies is that they grossly overstep their bounds and commit atrocities. Not that they have bad intel. Trump quite clearly saying whatever was politically expedient.
Yes mutual fund investors accept that their money is on the line. Many mutual funds have negative returns. Your definition of a bubble makes no sense.
Even worse, two parties with animosity against each other will rank each other at the bottom of stack, allowing the generally amicable independents to sweep the election. It’s the perfect way to incentivize depolarization.

This isn’t an “oops we didn’t structure the organization with sufficient oversight” kind problem. Nothing gets done about it because things quickly devolve into zero-sum games when nations are involved. You will certainly lose when you decide not to play. The American oligarchy decided they don’t want to lose out on juicy resources to those who will play dirty so here we are.
The description was, for Austin, sufficiently specific to drastically narrow down the candidate pool of lookalikes. Keep in mind, this armed and dangerous mass shooter was still at large amongst the public. At what point do the scales tip in favor of safety and caution over "perpetuating stereotypes"?
It seems like a pretty big jump from "wait a few days for air conditioner parts" to "modern life is no longer possible"!
This follows a long term trend. The last 5 years have been the warmest in the past 170 years of measured temperature [1].

Like it or not, the earth is hotter and will continue to get hotter. This will have consequences for civilization in the form of declining agricultural output and mass migrations of people.

There are somethings we can choose to do to minimize these consequences, such as eliminating carbon emissions and geoengineering (blocking sunlight with sunlight reflecting pollutants and sequestering carbon) and there are things we will have to do to adapt, such as reducing meat consumption, building sea walls, and changing how we grow food.

Regardless, we’re looking at an expensive future.

In the US, the constitution guarantees freedom of speech. It's very difficult to legally prohibit anyone from publishing anything.

This why, btw, US news has so many lies. It's nearly impossible to regulate the media unless there is a constitutional change.
So they invented react-aware FrontPage ? =)
There are people who would not celebrate the emancipation of slavery?
> In particular, the speed with which most of the left pivoted to reverence for the “intelligence community” simply because it was politically expedient after 2016.

I think you are either confusing the Democratic center-right (whuch has always had reverence for the intelligence community and defense establishment) with “most of the left", or confusing opposing abnormally blatant political abuse of (and by political officials within) the national security apparatus with reverence for that same apparatus, or both.
I got the sickest I have been in years in December 2019. I had a cough for about 6 months afterwards that was sufficiently bad that I had a chest x-ray to rule out lung cancer. My partner got sick shortly after I did with similar symptoms.

I suspect it was the flu though. My desk neighbour at work was hospitalised for the flu (tested and confirmed) a week earlier. I had been vaccinated, but it's mayve the case I had a more mild case than he did thanks to the vaccination.

That being said, my partner is a nurse and was the only person in her department not to get covid. WE did get tested for covid antibodies in late 2020 and didn't have any, but it's possible they had diminished by then if it really was covid.

But the simplest explanation is still that it was just the flu.

Our team has been migrating DVC to fsspec. We've even started working on creating fsspec compatible wrappers for SSH, Alibaba cloud, etc.

There were challenges indeed, and some storages will require more work (e.g. things like GDrive) but I would say maintainers are responsive and helpful.
And when everyone buys in, the costs and risks are well distributed. Makes sense for everyone, healthy or not.

There are some really damaging cases, like an 18-year-old having sex with his 17-year-old girlfriend and the girlfriend's father insists on pressing charges. Now the kid is not only labeled a sex offender for life, but his listing says victim was a minor. Our whole approach to criminal "justice" is deeply flawed.

Uncertainty regarding piece state is also my number one feedback. Maybe rather than numeric, make that states visibly discrete in some other way?
I've also seen bucket shop used somewhat pejoratively when discussing crypto exchanges: not accusing them of never taking a position, but rather that they are under-collateralized or exposed to risk.

An exchange, much like a ponzi scheme, could spend 10% of customer deposits and no one would notice until there is a 'run on the bank'. Similarly, they could choose to not execute orders to effectively take a position in the market - if the market moves in their direction gains can be huge, but if it moves against them it can be disastrous.

This is such an exaggeration. Google is not "absolutely reprehensible and societally harmful".
I suspect the comment was more to get an idea of what scale up would cost for bot farms.
> use the CFAA as a catch all for stopping people from misusing data they were given access to. If we do, it gives every private company the ability to make breaking their EULA a criminal offense. That is ridiculous.

That is a stretch. This case was specifically applied to the public sector and 'not completely unauthorized' makes CFAA almost inapplicable to public sector databases.
Imo, name and pictures of someone are a clear cut of intellectual property that belongs to that person and thus distributing such photos is copyright infringement. Well, that would be the case if the intent of IP laws was fairness.

As a fairly average software engineer in Silicon Valley, now in fintech, I found the numbers thrown on Blind to be fairly consistent with the several offers I got over the years. I personally have received half a dozen data offers in those ranges, from FAANGs, public and pre IPO companies.

Senior engineer with about 5 years of experience or more should easily be around $250k base + $250k equity per year (slightly more if the company is more risky/illiquid, slightly less if the company is public/liquid). I’m talking about entering offer, without counting stock appreciation. Easy to surpass that as you get more experience.
Depends on the goal, are we trying to make sure their life is worse than the victims to it's own end or are we trying to optimize the outcome for society by preventing future damage and removing as much as we can? If the latter then the inability to negate the effects on the victim alone probably isn't the driving factor on how we create the optimal outcome for society. Especially for crimes where a permanent separation of the criminal from society (e.g. death or imprisonment for the rest of their life) is deemed excessive or too expensive and recidivism can result in more damage than the initial crime if the goal is to expressly ignore integrating them back into society.
PSA: Do not lend Google Fi phones out to friends without getting their pin
Do not lend Google Fi phones out to friends without getting their pin!

I lent my old phone to a friend (ex) and they hard reset it before returning it to me (which is pretty normal). Unfortunately, even though I have the receipt for the purchase, the phone is in my Google Fi history, Google will not let anyone but the previous user sign into the phone. I contacted Fi support and they said there's nothing they can do (which obviously isn't true, but they'd like you to believe that).

Apparently, before you hard reset, you need to remove their Google account from the phone, put yours on, or change the pin to something you know BEFORE you hard reset. And this is not written down anywhere on their support site. Avoid the $900 paperweight!
I made a similar mistake of trusting adults in my life to know what was best for me when I was in highschool and was facing a computer-related misdemeanor. I really knew better, and I should have stuck to my guns. My high school principal invoked in loco parentis and pressured me to tell the officer everything, instead of doing the reasonable thing of calling my parents and letting them make a decision.

At least I was under 18 and the record was expunged. God, I hated school.

Right. So being in a civil war (for example) would be good because “hardship leads to innovation”?

No, it doesn't. At least not in this case. Austin is 8% black. So 4% black male. Then you narrow it down by age range, appearance, etc and you now have a very narrow pool. The public deserves to know about a violent, armed murderer in their midst, political correctness be damned.
Plenty of options, one I haven’t seen mentioned is Shutter Encoder. I don’t think it covers all of ffmpeg functionality, it focuses on format conversions useful for video professionals and does a fine job of it.

> In order to be innovative and compete, we need very flexible working laws, people with a big growth mindset, a less relaxing lifestyle and AMBITIOUS people.

This doesn't really make sense to me. The EU is a clear leader in other industries compared to the US, just not in the tech industry. In terms of national security and stability, I'd say any of these companies are much more important than any tech company. If the market here for innovation is so bad, why are these companies leaders in their industry?

A few examples I can think of off the top of my head:

- automotive (Volkswagen, Daimler, Bosch)

- industrial equipment (Siemens, ABB)

- railroad (Siemens, Alstom)

- telecoms (Ericson, Nokia)

- chemicals (BSAF, Ineos)

- food and drink (anything from France, Italy or Spain :D)
Yes. The pencil sharpener removes the last 2.5cm of the pencil lead anyway, so why not just use a pencil extender? This seems like an overengineered solution looking for a problem.

You're using a really classy extender, but one of those $0.10 plastic pencil caps would work as well.

I prefer both control keys next to the space bar, then alt/meta, then super. I have a short spacebar and can do both control and alt with my thumbs. Others prefer an extra control where caps lock is.

Yes, there's been a few of those cases - absolutely ridiculous. I think there was legislative change around that (maybe in Aus?) whereby if both participants are under-age or close to under-age, they don't record convictions.
