Well it goes from billion/year to million/day, which is actually closer to billion/year than billion/day. It's also a more natural way of writing it than $0.205 billion. I doubt they indented people to miss the change in units and assume aramco was losing $205 billion per day.

I’m guessing 99% of the users of this site use Chrome…Dev Tools. The real question is what people use for personal browsing after hours. I wish Mozilla would just import Chrome’s Dev Tools because they’re just undeniably better than anything else on the market.
They're working toward that goal.

> Sure, but even the average Saudi has a substantially higher QOL due to Aramco than their peers in most other nations. Nowhere else in the region has a comparable HDI.

Looking at the list of countries in the Middle East, it looks like Oman, Bahrain, Cyprus, Kuwait, UAE, Israel and Qatar have a similar or greater HDI than the KSA. (Though combined, they have about a similar population as KSA alone.)
The bank manager gave me that line, too. I didn't believe it, either. Eventually, he elliptically hinted something along the lines that if I said it was fraud, he might be able to do something.

Naturally, I then declared it to be fraud.

For 1 2 and 3, it seems that West and Harvard simply disagreed on the value he gave to the institution in terms of what he was teaching and his celebrity.
Is a masters degree actually useful in any profession? Many of the CS/data science/machine learning masters programs I've seen are basically 2-year data structures and algorithms programs with a few flashy-named electives thrown in, for people who already have a semi-technical bachelors.

I work in engineering for a multibillion dollar industrial/IT company and we don't have any policy to give employees a raise if they get a masters. It's always seemed like a scam to me.
I have a technical degree but actually worked as a full-time creative for about four years (now I don't). I have found the people that did the best are the ones that treated it as a competition. People are only going to read X number of articles, watch Y number of movies, go to Z number of galleries. It is so self-centered that people think that they should be paid attention to because of their degree.

There's an open market niche for an integrated editor like the abovementioned but without arbitrary restrictions (of resolution, color palette, etc.), that isn't quite as big as say Unity or Godot. Noone has made this yet. But since the space exists between multiple efforts from both ends of the scale, it'll be filled soon enough.

Even I've considered making it, but have too many projects on my plate.

Clippy may be a joke, but my phone actually does this (and yours likely does too).

In principle, if my headphone volume was actually loud enough to damage my hearing, I'd like to be told about it, but a given reality is the volume setting doesn't produce the same loudness with different headphones, which usually results in an inconvenience when my headphones aren't actually very loud.
"MBS was accepted by the previous administration ..."

I would like to paint Trump as the only bad apple, but the Saudis have likely paid off every American President in the last 40 years with a flood of shadow money. He was accepted by the previous administration because Trump got a healthy dose of that shadow money (there's a half-dozen on the front page of google search results alone).

There's a half dozen stories about this for Trump. Here's one for Obama:

We now know the inauguration fund is a big shadow slush fund for presidents. So is the presidential library, and the usual post-term speech circuit and "consulting".

I feel like this is obvious but maybe not to a 22 year old. It’s like saying that 4 graduates of the MFA program are working novelists, or 4 graduates from Alabama this year are going into the NFL. The careers where your work is distributed to millions of people have a huge gap between public awareness of the profession and the number of jobs available in it, because each producer serves millions of consumers.

These days, you should only go to film school if you have an active YouTube following... if you don’t already have the drive and the skill to create video and market it, you don’t even have a chance of surviving.
If you have $200k of student debt, yeah, sure... but you probably wouldnt even get that much credit, and you'd have to pick a cheaper college. Going bankrupt with eg. $30k debt is a lot harder, because you can realistically pay that back in some sane amount of time.

Colleges will have to adapt though, because there are not that many rich people to sustain such high prices.

I was recently thinking about this: let’s say you built a chrome extension and wants to collect some basic usage analytics (with explicit user consent and knowledge, while preserving privacy) - you could batch-send activities at intervals to a REST-style API, but would be nicer to handle as a stream (eg to respond in real-time somehow).

My sister is a tenure-track professor of media studies at one point.

She told me at one point that there are as many film schools in the US as working videographers in Hollywood.

Of course, most people the Hollywood product jobs (film, sound, lighting) literally inherit those positions.

So four people? Pretty good.

I've heard there's a big market for wedding videographers, however. But that's not what most people thinking.
You might want to check out NATS[0], it starts out with RabbitMQ like functionality (message queue) and can also do Kafka things (distributed persistent log) via NATS Jetstream[1] or Liftbridge[2].

It's riding the wave of CNCF cloud-buzzword projects but don't let that scare you off -- generally that means that it is actually really easy to set up and operate, and does most of the things you'd expect via well structured pre-inserted configuration which is a plus. The devil is still in the details though, so read the docs thoroughly to make sure it fits your usecase.

And exercise kind too. Walking is actually a good example, it's surprisingly deep and integrated. When I was ill, it was the only thing that was soft yet deep enough to maintain my cardiovascular system flowing. Other activities like yoga play on the geometry to change your blood circulation without doing anything. Crawling makes a lot of muscles coordinate in ways other sports don't.
Interesting. I use Github Actions to tag incoming bugs with a "needs-triage" tag. That is not related to production, testing, deployment, or publication, so I guess I'm not in compliance.

Requiring the universities the back some, or all, of student debt would get rid of a lot of wasteful programs, majors, and hopefully, professors. My university, large non-elite state school, was overloaded with tenured professors who taught courses for majors that would not lead to most of their graduates.

The automobile is a dumb gimmick. You still have put yourself in a carriage, what’s the point? They could just as well have bred better horses on the front of the carriage and dispensed with the unreliable internal combustion engines that are ruining farms, roads, and the air.
Agreed, but ground truth labeling is a lot of work! The thing is, Form Recognizer has a hard limit of 500 total pages (not documents) in the training set.

I'm skeptical it's possible to achieve good performance with an unsupervised model with only 500 pages, unless those documents are very similar. In which case, why would you need a service like Form Recognizer at all?

From a product perspective, it just makes no sense to me.
That assumes a lot about the world in 50-100 years when trees planned today are full grown!

If we’re planning on vaccinating the entire population of the human race I think it would’ve been better give the vaccine to the most vulnerable and at least have a 3 year study done and focus on treatments in the meantime before giving it to younger people.

I’ve read good things about Ivermectin for example, where’s the rushed controlled clinical trial of that ? A drug we do know is safe, cheap and widely available ?

Also if you look into it, there are actually valid questions being asked such as, what causes heart inflammation and attacks? Why isn’t that more understood. How was it missed in initial trials ? What is the mechanism causing that? [1]

Doesn’t seem right we should give young otherwise healthy men heart troubles ?

If you study math, and then go coding videogames.... technically, you're not in a math field anymore, but a math degree helps you a lot with programming.

Wow - the 4 stages of product development seems quite spot on from my experience working on b2b enterprise software products.

No doubt that the Finance team is generally the most powerful entity in shaping a companies direction both internally as well as in your clients organisation. Finance teams love control, are (mostly) completely risk-averse and change averse. The same can also be said about badly run IT teams.

I have seen product/automation implementations being deployed seamlessly in all departments from operations to procurement but completely fail due to the finance teams. In extreme cases I have seen finance teams have so much power that they even override the CEOs decisions to make implementations fail if they feel that they are loosing control or do not like the new process workflow that the implementation brings in.

For digital transformation projects the implementation team needs to speak the language of finance, operations as well as IT. Otherwise the chances of the implementation really succeeding is close to nil.
As a side remark, physics phd programs are a pretty awesome.

The better programs pay a living wage if you aren't supporting a family.

You can often travel the world for free by attending conferences in exotic locations.

The subject matter is fascinating, and the people tend to be interesting.

You learn skills that are highly sought after. The degree is well respected and transferable to multiple industries.

Your peers are collegial and want to see you succeed. Physicists tend to enjoy knowledge sharing.

You can generally exit at any time and immediately transition into lucrative careers in, for example, tech and finance.

It has it's downsides, but for how whimsical it is, it's a pretty soft landing if you decide you want out.

These programs are absolute cash cows for universities. One of the primary reasons that tuition has considerably outpaced inflation is government guaranteed loans. Two of the primary 'cost-disease' areas - healthcare and education - are some of the most regulated areas of our lives.

> (Obama's version was surrendering Crimea to Putin so that Putin would give him an out for his Syrian "red line" blunder).

What approach would you have taken to prevent Vladimir Putin from taking back Crimea? It’s a majority Russian area where they hold a long term naval base lease. The peninsula in question was gifted to Ukraine by the USSR in 1954.

Also keep in mind the fact that Russia has nuclear weapons, and any direct military conflict with Russia has the potential to go nuclear.

How do you proceed to prevent Russia from annexing Crimea?
I started using Apache Storm in 2012 and was really surprised at the number of Apache projects for stream processing back in 2015 or so when I did some research for moving off of storm.

> There's a large population of users who want to use Unicode characters as cheap visual tricks, to make the titles or comments stand out more.

Also as a means of trying to fool keyword-based anti-spam filters. I've seen entire words spelled out in alternate Unicode characters that look like the characters of the actual word, but are not the actual letters they look like visually. Computers, being inherently "dumb machines" totally overlook such words if they're not actively blocked at some level by the filter (easy way is to block the actual characters these spammers use, but of course this can then cause problems for those who actually use those characters properly; Yay, spammers. Ruining the Internet for everyone).
YMMV. A friend/former coworker of mine left to get his Masters in CS at Columbia. He was always a driven, strongly self-directed kind of guy.

The connections that he made in his Masters program led to him founding a security company with his professors and landed government contracts through their contacts in the federal government. That infosec company is one of the most competitive/exciting local employers.

YouTube Music on browser only offers single usable volume level: mute+1. Upper is not usable since volume is too high.

It's odd that after all that #BelieveWomen [1,2] business, Vice is able to so deftly switch to calling them liars. Not directly, of course, they merely tell how their tears were used to justify horrible things, and then give only one example, where the accusations turned out to be false.

Has there not been one instance where their white tears weren't fake? That's certainly the impression this article gives.

Based on current behavior of cancel culture, I don’t think generation Z truly appreciates the nightmare they are headed for. 20 years from now someone is going to come out of the woodwork with a tweet, text message, social media post, or heaven for bid only fans, and completely destroy someone’s life. The Internet is forever, and private companies are making that so.
Just tried it on Firefox on MacOS. Double-clicking between two words (maybe a little closer to the left word), highlights both words. Not sure what else to say.
Why did you put a false claim as your article title?
Yep, no matter how monstrous your human rights record is, no matter how big of a kleptocracy your government is, the US will be your ally as long as you give the US suzerain authority and play ball with US corporations. There's no end to the human rights abuses the US will overlook if you're willing to play ball.

Iran is in the doghouse because they nationalized their oil, same as Venezuela. Cuba under the US-backed Batista dictatorship makes the current communist regime there look like a country run by Mister Rogers, but Batista played ball so it was an ally.

International relations in general are characterized by an amoral state of anarchy, there is no right and wrong, only suzerains and clients.

Ahhh. I see, you are default-no-SNI, and whitelist those that do.

If your threat model is such that you absolutely positively cannot leak the signal of what domain names you want to make HTTPS connections to, then I suppose this is an approach that can be used. But if you believe that is your threat model, I imagine you have bigger issues to protect against. As you say, it's unlikely to work for others.
Particulate matter in the air causes precipitation. Spraying large amounts of particulate matter into the sky is likely to drastically change global rainfall patterns - so you might get a ton of rain in the Sahara, where it’s useless, and none at all in the American Midwest. The result could be drastic food shortages and famines. Major volcanic eruptions have been associated with droughts and famines. I think geoengineering on this scale may be necessary, but it is a terrible option and an absolute last resort
I think the worst UI is simply the Teams one, because it presents as an app volume control but then simply controls the global device volume. Fuck off, you are not the only app running.

But that comes second to the microphone gain control, which Teams similarly exerts unilateral control over - only this time through an automated algorithm that for some microphone types just ends up muting them entirely. It's wild, you can go into the Windows gain control settings and see the slider wiggle around.
>Either they're really good at building the necessary evidence or they're just ruthless when it comes to criminal justice. Based on the other comments in this thread, it seems the latter.

That isn't actually quite the case. Part of that amazing conviction rate comes from simply not prosecuting cases that they have a chance of losing. So they have an abysmal prosecution rate for crimes like rape.
There's programming bootcamps that basically take a fraction of the graduate's income for a few years instead of charging tuition. But since they optimize for quick employability, and not necessarily a more depth/breadth oriented curriculum as is common in traditional higher education, they have relatively superficial curriculums and thus they don't have the greatest of reputations among companies looking for brainpower rather than fad cookie cutters. Incentives are hard.
Yes, but that takes 50 years at least.

In the 2070s things will be very different.
There's a special on Prime about something you almost NEVER hear about: the Soviet Manchurian invasion. Which is what finally convinced the Emperor he had to stop it. The USSR had 1.5 million troops involved, and not surprisingly won a crushing victory.

Look at the dates: Aug. 9 was Nagasaki. It wasn't until the 15th that they surrendered. Up until then, the war councils actually thought Stalin would intervene and force a better peace than the "unconditional surrender" the Allies demanded.

I know everyone believes the A-bomb ended the war. Unfortunately even that wasn't enough. If it was, the Japanese would have surrendered on Aug. 10.

That's not to contradict CamperBob2 about the US would have done. We could only produce about one bomb per month, though, IIRC.
I prefer wireless charging myself, though I don’t know how much it affects the overall battery lifespan of my phone, but it’s a lot more convenient for me, especially with the introduction of magsafe on the iPhone. I 3D printed a stand for both the phone and my watch and I just put them there to charge for the night, I find it less annoying than to keep plugging in cables and potentially find a dead phone in the morning because the cable broke and I didn’t notice. Mind you, you could say that Apple should just make better cables, but I honestly prefer the larger “connection” surface of a wireless charger and I don’t scratch the area around the connector while fiddling with the plug.

In the car it’s insanely convenient to have a phone holder that charges your phone also while combined with magsafe.

But of course Ymmv
