My ~~conspiracy theory~~ guess is that the Windows 10 minimum requirements were "If it ran Windows 7 you're good", which means that this upgrade saying "If it ran Windows 10 you're good" would entail supporting machines built in 2009 or earlier. Which is pretty old, so they decided to draw lines that would get rid of machines that old (for example, no more 32 bit). Then they kept going because someone said "legacy BIOS is dumb, UEFI is the choice of a new generation" and then another manager said "nobody uses disk encryption on home edition, let's mandate TPMs so they can do it easier", and sooner or later you have these probably higher than actual system requirements.
But isn't Fulcro based on Om, not Reagent? How is that an option for React devs? I was surprised when Fulcro went with Om as it's generally inferior to Reagent/re-frame. Om was heavily hyped by David Nolen when Clojurescript first appeared but Reagent soon became the better option for SPAs and re-frame followed suit as Clojurescript's Redux.

Because the ecosystem has been offerint 8-20% interest to hold USDT and put it in a savings account or defi contract.

It was seeing these rates that made me believe the market was a ponzi. Somehow the system has created a strong incentive to hold USDT rather than USD in the form of divergent interest rates. And 12% is crazy high: Madoff claimed returns of 10%.

There could be a benign explanation but my bet would be that various market actors are propping up the system short run with unsustainable interest payoffs to stave off withdrawal attempts to maintain the Tether peg. Huge house of cards.

If Marketing is essential part of your business, then you could add that person as a partner. There is abundant supply of marketing professionals in the market.

However if you just want to outsource marketing, there are marketing agencies who can do that work for you. However, there are few things that you must keep in mind.

1. Sign an NDA and a proper contract

2. Make sure your contract has important provisions on price, price increases cap every year, performance measurement and penalties, SLAs

3. Depending upon, whether what the vendor has access to, you may need to ensure that they are compliant with privacy laws in the country where your customers are. PIPEDA in Canada, HIPPA, COPPA in US, GDPR in Europe, etc.

4. Have the vendor purchase sufficient insurance policies to cover for cyber breaches and other forms of losses arising because of this arrangement.

5. If they have access to confidential information including customer and employee PII, Make sure they have sufficient technology controls in place to protect your information.

A lot of commenters here are suggesting Google took down these videos maliciously, as a conscious political act, or something along those lines.

I don’t think so. I think they built a social network that is too big for human moderation, so they opted to do moderation by applying statistical models to user reports.

That works great until malicious users work out how to game the system and take down videos they don’t like. So, here we are.

One error in that article is that it says fusion reactors aren't connected with nuclear weapons.

Actually D+T fusion produces huge numbers of high energy neutrons which can be multiplied and fed into a depleted or natural uranium blanket to breed Pu239 for weapons use.

Fusion produces more neutrons per unit of energy and could have smaller thermal signature than a fission plant to make weapons grade Pu. You'd need to develop fission fuel reprocessing but not necessarily uranium enrichment.

A spalation source driven by a particle accelerator could do the same with an even smaller thermal signature including the power plant -- making it easy to hide. The tough problem is increasing the uptime of the particle accelerator 100x or so.

Honestly, yes, Quora and Reddit both have some bad patterns around their signup flows (esp mobile). I won't defend those.

That said, they are far from the worst offenders. Facebook has done some really shady things around inviting your contacts, recommending people you may know, sharing/exposing your data to other apps, etc. LinkedIn has done some lawsuit-worthy shady things in that area too (e.g. [1]). News sites (and others) are paid to put tracking pixels on their sites so data can be harvested via data brokers and sold back into the ad/tracking ecosystem.

All around, Quora had some of the smartest, most passionate engineers / PMs / managers I've ever worked with (some of which have gone on to start very successful companies themselves). I'd be lying if I said I didn't think some product decisions affected recruiting at all, but it's a far cry from "candidates who only attract one offer".

I'd say that among pure functional programming languages (i.e. excluding Erlang, Scala and OCaml) Haskell is the language most suited for real-world usage.

Yes, there is a lot of research being done on Haskell, but a lot of the research is centered on areas that more or less directly contribute to typical real-world usage. Consider the recent introduction of linear types for example: They're both exciting from a type theoretic perspective, but could also improve some real-world scenarios (even though at this point linear types are still quite new, so there's not a lot of examples out there).
Then you may as well also ask "why did we ever think the kind of math you learned first didn't matter?"

It's a ridiculous straw man, deals with symptoms instead of problems, and leads to an "everyone has an opinion" situation beyond any usefulness.

I appreciate the work you put into this, but when I look at the data, I see a nonstationary (humped) time series, where I am not sure that 2.4 standard deviations above the mean is a reliable identifier of outliers.

Furthermore, I think the data still supports janandonly's point (though not quite as starkly) even if we throw out the maximum.

It would indeed be pedantic of me to now make an issue of the maximum not in general being an outlier, but at the time I wrote that, I was replying to a post in which the only justification given for considering 1968 to be an outlier was the fact that it was the maximum.
I think we need to have some compassion.

Soft UI: Making sense of the latest design trend
> most distros end up running SystemD with timesyncd instead

which tends to be "good enough" for the average desktop user, but anything even vaguely server-ish should run a full NTP implementation such as chrony and not an SNTP one such as systemd-timesyncd.

a few years ago at $dayjob we had a fleet of CoreOS hosts. CoreOS, at the time, defaulted to systemd-timesyncd using pool.ntp.org addresses.

our CoreOS hosts, obviously, ran Docker containers.

systemd has a neat "feature" where if your network configuration changes, it'll trigger a time synchronization through timesyncd.

when a new Docker container was started, this counted as a "network config change" and caused a time synchronization.

by itself, this isn't too bad. it caused time syncs to happen more often than they need to, strictly speaking, but shouldn't have caused any further problems.

except...enter "falsetickers". hosts in the NTP pool are run by volunteers. an individual host in the pool may have the incorrect time.

the infrastructure for the NTP pool has monitoring for this, and will kick a host out of the DNS rotation if it's wrong. except this won't happen immediately - there'll always be some lag between when the host starts being wrong and when the monitoring system kicks it out.

and if your hosts are synchronizing their time more often than necessary, it increases the chance they'll do a time sync in one of these small windows where a falseticker is being advertised by the pool.

a full NTP implementation is specifically designed to handle this, of course. a client polls multiple servers, and will discard significant outliers.

SNTP? not so much. I haven't looked at timesyncd to see if it's improved since then, but at the time it would pick one of the [0-3].pool.ntp.org hosts at random, send it one NTP packet, and then jump the time to that response.

...and that's the story of how some of my company's production hosts would have their system time autonomously jump to be 5-10 minutes fast, maintain that time for several minutes to an hour, and then jump back to the correct time, all without human intervention.
Under this logic should we remove regulation from banks? Should companies not be subject to workplace rules?

Companies that interact with society need regulation as does YouTube. Its going to be hard to balance the freedom of expression vs what is harmful. In what is a grey zone I feel encouraging violence is the best line, and letting the courts sort out defamation.

"This account" means "the account I'm currently replying to". No, of course the guidelines aren't specific that way.

That does not mean that every post that breaks the site guidelines gets moderated, though, for the simple reason that we don't see everything that gets posted here. There's far too much for us to read it all. If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it.

Disagreements can be draining. I don’t know what are they disagreeing about, however I believe if you research and find facts from authoritative source, people listen to it. Using statistics is another powerful way to show what do the numbers say.
If the disagreement is constructive, i prefer that over destructive criticism where nobody wants to learn and try to arrive at a decision.

Try that and let me know if it works.
According to Ars [1], it seems that every CPU that is on the supported processor list includes TPM. It's called iPPT on Intel and fTPM an AMD.

Most motherboards ship with it disabled in the BIOS so you have to find that setting (probably somewhere in the "advanced" settings) and change it.

They also warn that some OEM motherboards have it disabled in the BIOS but do not expose a setting to change it, so with those you might be out of luck if the OEM did not include hardware TPM.

I started with machine codes. Followed by ASM, Turbo Pascal, C/C++. I played with BASIC but quickly dismissed it as it would greatly limit of what I could do (I was hooking computers to devices using high speed parallel bus and processing data in real time). No college. I was studying physics in university. All my programming experience I got by looking at docs and somebody else's codes. Of course every once in a while I would use something like Matlab to solve my little problems and when I switched to develop software for living I also used many other languages. Now I mostly free to choose whatever tools I see fit and usually stick to 3 - C++ for backends, Delphi/Lazarus for desktops and JavaScript for web front ends. Occasionally use C when I have to do firmware. I played up to my gills with many scripting languages like Python. Personally I found that on any project of decent size they do not speed up development at all. The performance loss of the end product however is monumental.
That's on phones. I don't think it's initially obvious the same terminology applies to laptops, because it hasn't been the norm to have a camera on the other side. The "back" isn't a part of the computer you normally are pointing at anything.

It's not a big deal, but I'm on the side that it is something that has to be explained.

I think modern American houses are lower quality and shorter lasting, but more because of shitty building techniques and poor finish materials than wood framing.

This is tautological. You’re essentially arguing that market participants can’t be stupid or wrong or credulous, ever.

In the South Sea Bubble people speculated on the value of a company that basically never even started business in its market and had no hope of a profit. Ponzi’s scheme was mail reply coupons, which could never have worked even in theory. The Mississipi company in France flourished despite the abject failure of the underlying Mississipi company to establish itself or a colony.

People can be very wrong. And indeed in crypto you regularly hear such stupid beliefs as “Tether is only $60 billion and crypto has a market cap or $1 trillion, so it’s just a tiny risk”*

The fact that this is a common belief suggests that you’re wrong. People may correctly think Tether is a fraud but have an extremely incorrect belief about the consequences of Tether being a fraud. Just as people understood people with no incomes couldn’t afford mortgages once teaser rates expired but did not understand how that would richochet through the system.

*The error is that unlike a company, no one would ever buy all the crypto outright, and market cap is a meaningless term. An injection of $1.5 billion from Tesla was enough to send crypto markets skyrocking. What would a subtraction of fiat 40x as large do to markets?
Seems curious that a secret military program would choose to fly their super secret aircraft in airspace where the usual, non-secret military was known to be performing scheduled and easily avoidable training exercises.
