I quoted the full sentence, but I was mainly referring to:

>> unhindered by capital controls, “know your client” rules imposed on broker-dealers, and other frictions of the traditional financial system

While you can always find some little exceptions, most financial regulation has actually has good reason to exist and solves actual problems (though maybe not your problems, as in burglary laws do not solve burglars' problems). It's not much of a "feature" to do away with them, since then you just invite the re-emergence of problems that have already been solved or mitigated.
This consent flow solves one specific problem very well, which is Return on Ad Spend. This addresses the data needs of one stakeholder, which is the marketer in charge of the ad and marketing budget. Of the dollars they're spending, which ones result in sales? That's the one question they want to ask from their data, and this tool lets them answer that.

Every other stakeholder I can think of will want to know details about a failure or drop-off. Some stakeholders, like User Experience, will only want to know about failures. This tool does not meet their needs.

My experience is that the user base of Google Analytics skews heavily towards marketers, and there is a decent-size market of current GA users that only use GA for the subset of data provided by this tool.
wow,cool
Aquinas acknowledged heavy philosophical debts to Maimonides and Averroes while critiquing them in particulars. And as for the theology, I don't see how you get "looked down on" from: https://aquinas.cc/la/en/~ST.II-II.Q10. To say that Aquinas "looked down on" pagans seems like an almost maximally uncharitable summary of the man's actual views. Where are you seeing this?
"Cold" basements rarely fall below 50 degrees Fahrenheit/10C. There's plenty of thermal headroom below that for heat pumps to work. Heat pumps already work outdoors at below freezing. I don't think there's anything to worry about.

Custom ASCIs or OS is Cap Ex, and I am saying that part is allowed to be outsourced provided the IP is unencumbered. It's just the operations that must be done in-house.

To avoid some "idiots at the wheel situation", part of the tech transfer exercise will ensure that the deployment isn't too brittle. E.g. the government should be able to make some trivial Kernel modification and redeploy everything without issue. Maybe even also fab and install a slightly modified ASIC too.
I would think the issue is we have to start with what are we solving for exactly?

Max GDP for the country in question?

Max GDP contribution to global GDP for the country in question?

Max global GDP?

Maximize some individual distribution for the country population in question?

Maximize some individual distribution for the global population?

I don't think we can even answer that so it is doomed from the start if we are trying to be objective.

If we start over we should just explicitly admit this field is a type of theater. Like Shiller's Narrative Economics is a good start but that is still pretending to be too scientific.
Yeah that makes sense. I'm sure after 5+ years there you would be far better than the average developer. I am talking from the perspective of people that I've seen go to those companies. Sure they were above average programmers, smart and driven but they weren't superstars or truly exceptional.
> fundamental rights

Genuine question because I never understand what people mean when they use that phrase: how is a right fundamental? Does the cold universe assign them to us or do a set of people agree such-and-such are fundamental. If the latter, were the same rights fundamental 20,000 years ago? (Because if they are fundamental, they should stretch back to early man… earlier than even 20,000 years ago)
Am I missing something or is this fundamentally not that interesting of an idea? The tl;dr of it is just that they slowly migrated a smaller subset of the internal tooling to use TypeScript, and probably in the last 3 years have migrated even more. Is that...notable? I'm sure lots of big companies use TypeScript now.

My company has roughly the same # of engineers as Google and has had some teams that adopted TypeScript while others didn't. We even own a product that uses Flowjs, for some reason. It didn't require a huge rigamarole to do so, just a hook into the internal build system (which, looking at it now, is significantly smaller in surface area than the rules_typescript Bazel rule).

I was wondering is it possible to do more things utilizing RAR beyond tlb shootdown.
I think the discussion misses the most important part:

The goal of the Netflix prize wasn't to come up with the best algorithm - it was to make the Netflix brand exciting and legitimate to engineers. At the time, Netflix wasn't super high-tech and I'm sure it was hard for them to get the top talent they needed. It seems silly in retrospect now, but I'm certain the reason this was approved was because they wanted the free advertising this would provide within graduate classes and academia in general.
People's knowledge in a field doesn't get outdated in just 3 years. Even in Javascript world.

EC predates ECS and goes back to at least 2008 or so.
Using ECC is very strange in this context. eMMC storage already provides for data correctness (and wear leveling of flash). If flash is corrupted to a point where internal error correction cannot compensate for it, eMMC will return no data, simply returning an error. This means that the additional level of error correction that they added will never ever be used.

Perhaps earlier revisions of this used raw NAND? Either that, or somebody got overzealous without thinking through.
Any sites tracking companies reversing their remote policies?
It's happening more and more, but I would love a tracker covering smaller companies under the radar, not just the Google and JPMorgan headline announcements.

Thanks!
It's a versatile piece of hardware! As long as you're not trying to get granular object detection less than a foot away it's able to see features with a fair amount of detail.
So then what is driving price action? How will they reconcile when the crypto doesn't track the actual security?
Some sports people have been known to wear medical facemasks as it's harder to breathe and the increased fitness. I believe some boxers have been known to use this method.

Farming is massively more productive than it used to be owing to changes in both plant varieties, fertilizers, pest control, and mechanization.

Bay Area here. I was contacted by a recruiter at Nextdoor for a potential role, and I politely turned down the in invitation. I’m sure it’s of no surprise to anyone that Nextdoor can be a force multiplier of toxicity.

Today a local bar announced that they were reopening, and my husband asked if they were hosting social gatherings as we’ve been working to find an LGBTQ-friendly space. He received a great deal of venom and deleted his comment.

The selling point given to me is the same as the one stated here in the article. Nextdoor brings people together to build stronger neighborhoods.

Our neighborhood is small and our house is not inconspicuous. It’s been a very quiet afternoon for both of us, and we’re moving pretty slow.

Good for them, they got money.
this is worded weird. who wrote this.
Sure, but banks have vaults. There's a continuum on what is reasonable against known risks. No one would accept a bank saying not to victim blame if they had no security. We know they are targets.

Unfortunately, enforcement online is an international sovereignty issue, so everyone is a target due to high reward and low risk. Until changes are made we must be responsible for our own security. We can still blame attackers at the same time.
This has got to be the absolute worst summary of Peter Turchin's work that I have ever seen. Please don't judge Turchin, or the field of Cliodynamics, from this article.
It’s weird, and almost a bit funny. For a brief moment.

The first smashing can be felt more than heard, a subsonic strike something like a vast drumhead being struck with a metre-wide mallet, but so quick, you barely even notice it until it’s over. The second one, however, isn’t far behind, and it’s a bit louder. That second thump gives away its location — whatever it was seems to be happening quite close by — in the direction of the parking structure.

At just this moment a car cruises through the pick-up zone at full speed, barreling along at least 100 kmh. It’s only because of some very fast reactions that no one gets hurt as it passes by. As it zooms past, you notice there’s no one behind the wheel.

Before you have any time to process that, another huge thump nearby causes a section of the barrier wall of an upper floor of the concrete parking structure to shear off. A pile of rubble falls to the ground not very far away from you.

That might be true right now, but only a decade or two ago, Hui and Christians were subject to similar oppression. The legal ban on selling kitchen knives isn’t unusual to anyone who has lived in Beijing during a national conference.

> You are free to make the argument that Western reporters are hallucinating or lying about what is happening to the Uyghurs.

Again, that is not the point in dispute. My position is even more anti Chinese than the norm, that what is happening to the Uighurs is bad but just not unusual for China. Your argument against mine then is that things are actually better for the other groups, but you really don’t provide any evidence of that, and I can guarantee you that it’s not (other minorities, Tibetans especially, Christians, especially those outside the official church, Hui over the last decades, re education camps for everyone, etc…).
Honestly, it is you busting at the blackjack table that makes those prices so low. These restaurants are subsidized by the house via the majority of losing gamblers. About the only reason why they even charge for the food in the first place is to set a minimum threshold for the non-gambling clientele.

Could it not be something more simple like, Netflix didn’t originally have profiles. So my child watching kid shows and me watching action shows were all feeding into the same recommendation system resulting in subpar results. That and they originally had a 5 star rating system which they then dropped.

Its very possible Netflix realized they needed to course correct the UX and as a result the winners algorithm was solving for a problem that no longer applied because it was using assumptions (rating system & no existence of different profiles) that were no longer relevant.

who takes a lot of pain killers and has done a lot of terrible things to me and others apparently in part because he feels no pain over anything he does and hence no guilt

Out of curiosity, what is this conclusion based on? Going off of only what you've said here, insofar as there is a relationship between the painkillers and his antisocial behavior, I would be more inclined to believe any of the following before the idea that a lack of pain somehow directly harmed his morality:

* The condition at the root of his pain also has negative neurological/mental effects

* The fact that he suffers from serious chronic pain (as opposed a lack thereof) impairs his mental state

* Side effects of the painkillers (as opposed to pain relief in and of itself) contribute to his ailing physiological/neurological/mental health
Foremost, congratulations on the launch; I am a fan of more diverse ways of working, and more diverse ways of upending the recruiting mess in use today

I wanted to mention two things for your consideration:

1. it would be stellar to have Atom/RSS instead of mailing list subscription. I don't need more email in my life to ignore :-)

1. related to that, it appears there are job tags but one cannot click on them in order to find more jobs tagged in that way. I said "related to that" because it would also be stellar to be able to subscribe to just the tags of interest, versus the firehose of all jobs (extra bonus points for `/feed/java+spring+whatever.atom` style multi-tag feed subscription)

Being democratic does not ensure having a free society. It takes active democratic participation, by people who believe in the principles of a free society, for democracies to institute laws that establish free societies.
That's just concatenation though.

Asciidoctor has very good support for `include`, so you can include a file in the middle of another file. Furthermore, you can even do partial include where you only include a section of another the file in the current file.

I have setups where each of my files can work as a standalone document with proper Title and Appendix. These files can be compiled into another file where all the individual title are change to sub-title, and all the appendices are group together into one section.

the problem is that there is an elite to begin with. being highly educated should not make people feel entitled to benefits, but rather it should make them feel obligated to use their education to contribute to society.

if education is free or even comes with financial support then there is no need for higher salaries to compensate the expense. a computer science master and a master baker should have the same incentive.
"if everyone wants to be a leader, who's going to follow"

I see that a lot with our interns. A lot of them are trained and motivated to "lead", "facilitate" and "collaborate" but not so much about doing actual work.

But it's no wonder when you look at the way things work in most companies. Managers make way more money than non-managers. And a lot of managers didn't cut it as software engineers so they got pushed into management where they suck too but make good money.
> Now, I'm sure many of you will agree, VS Code suffers from a bit of what we call "Notification Fatigue"

Yup.

I love VS Code but the sheer amount of chatty notifications especially when browsing a large code base can be simply overwhelming. I just start reflexively ignoring them. There’s no “just shut up already and let me work” button.

I’m glad this is something they are working on improving.

except it's laptop only and only applies to systems sold by OEMs. Speaking of which, when was the last time you saw a laptop that didn't have a webcam? Laptops were pretty common even on low-mid tier laptops from the early 00s. For fun let's also exclude the niche laptops like pinebook or what have you, because I doubt buyers of those laptops need the OEM to pre-install windows for them.

People argue that voter ID is an unreasonable burden on vulnerable populations. If that's the case then how is it a reasonable burden for interacting with the financial system?

If cryptocurrency does anything useful at all it will be to make privacy invasions like that sufficiently toothless that the case can be made to eliminate them in the ordinary financial system as well. Arguably it already has and all that's left is to eliminate the pointless KYC requirements.
"Lots of lawyers in the legislative, constantly creating new laws that drive need for more lawyers"

> Complex, self-reinforcing systems do not fail linearly.

I am with you. This is called the criticality of a complex adaptive system.

It is the grain of sand that will collapse a sand heap into chaos.

The problem is we don't know where the criticality point is, nor we qualify the knowability of that point, nor we know if the critical point is the most important thing to focus on, e.g. incremental degradation could just as well saturate our harm tolerance without really reaching a phase-shift point. The reason I am bringing these up is not to use skepticism to induce apathy, but to underline the fact that all of these axes require drastically different policy responses.

There is a risk in trying to invest the entire political, psychological and moral capital into an all-or-nothing apocalypse-countermeasure-policy-A if the system at hand actually needed a set of incremental countermeasures with policies B, C .. Z. This is the main objective in focusing on proportionality, to ensure our response is the appropriate one.

Incrementalism doesn't make headlines the way apocalypticism does and over-salience of criticality might be distracting us in a way that brings us closer to it. Demonstrated time and again, it doesn't rally people to action, it doesn't seem to enchance our agency, and maybe even hurts it.
