Philly also banned stores and restaurants from using bulletproof glass. Seems to me they care more about avoiding the appearance of racism than they do about the ability of store owners to protect their employees or property from criminals. Going cash free would effectively eliminate the threat of armed robbery for most stores, while also limiting the ability of employees to steal and reducing expenses related to handling cash, but we can't have nice things because disparate impact or whatever the buzzword of the day is.
Agree. They seem like good choices. Maybe he’s making a pivot now that he’s retired from Amazon?

I will caution people to not read too little or too much into this.

Personally I live by the maxim of “I don’t need a reason to do something nice, but I do need a reason to do something mean.” So I suggest we all wait and see what else he does before further analysis.
Yeah, if you haven’t ever used the alternatives (Chademo or US CCS) and compared to Tesla, it’s hard to grok why it’d be a usability issue.
What would be the point, besides an unprecedented, enormously ambitious hardware design learning project?

Executing shaders better than Nvidia and AMD is not likely.

Selling good graphics adapters at competitive prices to concrete users is even less likely.

Experiments with APIs would have a fatal adoption problem.

Avoiding DRM, if legally feasible, would be less useful than spending the same resources to support Sci-Hub or improve laws.

And of course for the more practical purpose of writing mere software, including Vulkan implementations, specifications are complete and open enough.
> there are reasons not to want to deliberately drive up the cost of exploits as an end in itself. When you do that, you're not hurting NSO; you're helping them, since their business essentially boils down to taking a cut.

In essence, NSO their income is (price of exploits) * (number of exploit customers).

If the price of exploits goes up, that doesn't mean their income does. That depends on how the price affects the number of customers. Governments have lots of money to spend, but generally they still have some price sensitivity. Especially the more fringe governments.

I am not sure what the effect on NSO their income would be.

It's a private institution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_System_of_Higher_... "Legally, the universities remain separate and private entities, operating under their own charters, governed by independent boards of trustees, and with assets under their own ownership and control, thereby retaining much of the freedom and individuality of private institutions, both administratively and academically."

There is no "right of freedom speech" there. They're not a government actor to which the First Amendment applies.

(Even if you work for the government, you can be fired for telling your boss to fuck off, or putting up "Muslims are evil" comics on your cubicle wall. It's not an unlimited right even there; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garcetti_v._Ceballos and https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/1608/pickering-... apply.)

Along this line of reasoning I learned to love Pydantic which can make it a breeze to parse and coerce environment variables to the correct types: https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/usage/settings/

You can make an env.py and override module __getattr__ and then import environment variables just like they're regular Python objects (even booleans, floats, collections, etc, despite .env files being string only

Huge force multiplier for ML cuz then you can do hyperparameter optimization just by passing different environment variables in an outer loop (even inside your infrastructure as code)

Edit: you can make these classes immutable too: https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/usage/models/#faux-immut...
> It also tells us how many team-weeks this fictional, idealised project would require [...] by adding all the estimates together.

I would be wary with just "adding all the estimates together". That's because we tend to estimate the median or the mode of the task duration, and not the average. Means can be added together, but not medians.

Also Benton didn't report this as a reporter on his publication. it was his personal twitter.

To me the more interesting problem is him using his workpace Discuss mod privileges to first ID her, and then posting to his personal twitter - which seems like it's not an official org piece of reporting. At least that's what I'm reading I think - it very well could have been possible for him to ID her without that admin info?

So maybe Benton is in violation of his work's policy.

I agree though even if it wasn't true wouldn't it have to be malicious intent to cause harm?

> It’s hard to find anything that’s not books 2 through the penultimate book of a airport novel trade paperback at my local second-hand book store. There is a bit of a “no one goes there anymore, it’s too crowded” feeling.

To be entirely fair, that has been my experience at typical new book stores, too. I don't know how many times I've gone into a B&N or Borders to find books 2, 3, 5, and 8 of some series.
Rebranding CleverTap 2.0: Behind Our New Design – CleverTap
It's a bad title in the press article. The title of the research article is "The New Genealogical Tree of the Da Vinci Family for Leonardo’s DNA. Ancestors and descendants in direct male line down to the present XXI generation". The total number of relatives usually grow exponentially, but the number of relatives in the direct male line usually does not grow.
If you've come across our social media channels or website in the past month, then you may have noticed something new. We've gone through a complete rebrand from our colour palette and fonts.
Nice! Thanks for great ideas and questions.

1. Building in house is expensive, slow, and painful, and most teams have better things to spend their time on. We’re helping several teams move off their in-house solution because they aren’t satisfied with it.

2. We are building out automation and scripting capabilities. We support integration with Python scripts and other local commanding destinations via our API.

3. Love the idea! We already support real-time comments that are embedded in procedures. We want to build out even more things along those lines to streamline communications.
Before everyone gets distracted by the religion and hypocrisy angles, from the article, a key issue is the brokering of (quite ineffectively) “anonymized” data:

---quote---

Why it matters: The small Catholic outlet, The Pillar, was able to achieve this by obtaining "anonymized" data from a broker, and having a consulting firm analyze it and link it to the church official — showing how easy and legally this can now be done.

I'm not sure how this is talking down to anybody. It's generally true that if you're cycling in the winter (I do it in the UK) you'll be perfectly warm even wearing minimal clothing. The first 5 minutes might be a bit chilly if you're just in shorts, but after that you'll warm right up.

If you find bike enthusiasts condescending that's a shame. It is a great way to travel - environmentally friendly, cost efficient, and actually often quicker than public transport (even cars) within major cities. Certainly more convenient, as you don't need to wait for a train or bus, and can generally lock it up just about anywhere.

From my experience in the US, the main issue isn't an image problem, just that the road infrastructure has been designed with no thought for cyclists; and the distances (outside of places like NYC and San Fran) are just huge.
> A while back, I noticed that 'chai' helps me focus and relax (improved mood, less anxiety, etc.) at the same time. It's made of milk, black tea, cardamom, cinnamon, and negligible/no sugar (personal preference).

I know Starbucks et al market the above as 'chai', but I think 'masala' (as in 'masala chai' [1]) should be the keyword.

That isn't remotely the same thing - he wasn't an admin at Disqus, he was an admin on the Disqus instance at their own website. She went to his website, commented horrible things under an anonymous account, and he exposed her as a person in a position of trust.

Immediate mode makes no sense from a performance standpoint. But you can still use it in 2021 if you want. I believe it's still supported mostly for CAD programs which haven't changed their core software since the 80's

A couple of years ago I stumbled upon a promotion for a $5/month subscription to the Wall Street Journal. This apparently was not a promotional offer since I still have this pricing. The only catch is that I can’t use the iPad app, but it’s a fine compromise in my opinion. I will take this subscription with me to the grave.

The only other news subscription I have is for Bloomberg, which, after trying to cancel my trial, I was giving an offer of $20 a month for one year.

I don’t think I would pay for these at their full prices. The main issue is that there are quite a few sites worth paying for, but not all at once, and even less at their non-promotional prices.

Edit: I believe the WSJ was testing out the $5/month plan since I have never encountered it again. It was presented as a “Mobile Digital” plan.
>>But seriously, BBEdit IMO beats out VSCode for speed and stability by a mile if you're a macOS user

I've been using BBEdit since the first release and I would never trade it for VSCode. They are totally different beasts to me. VSCode has been ridiculously stable for me and, as far as I can recall, has never crashed or lost a single line of source code. VSCode's speed has never been an issue, as it is ALWAYS open all the time, lol. I restart to update it and that is that.

On the other hand, BBEdit is always open as well, performing totally different tasks. These days, I use it mainly as a persistent note taker and text munger. I will definitely be looking to test the new "Notes Window" functionality!

Both great tools, open 24x7 on my dev mac.
Joplin actually solves this quite nicely with the browser extension. Unfortunately it doesn't really work on mobile.
Not that include hosting (with a SLA), SSO support, and integration with all of the other apps you already use (well, at least Office). And if you pay for a Microsoft license that includes compliance stuff, it automatically does Teams too.

It probably shouldn't be listed as "Teen". But I've had this problem when throwing parties so maybe there's a market. I wouldn't worry about the design for now. If people need it, they'll get what it does and download it.
These are human beings, and deserve to be treated with respect. Misusing them as a patronizing token of whatever it is you think is disrespectful. It's the same thing as 'Asians are good at math', 'Irish are drunk', 'Germans are Nazis - but well organized'. Leave them be. Of course it gets more complicated by their history in the U.S.

Imagine Germany erecting a statue of a cartoon Jew, with big nose and everything, in front of some stock exchange. "But they're good with money!".

Oh, I see, you thought of the US as the mistreater of people in foreign countries rather than domestically? That I can agree with — someone being mistreated in their country is very unlikely to be in the US (except for a very expansive definition of mistreated) but quite likely to be in a country where the US is harming people.

There was an activist professor at a university in Colorado [mr Churchill, I believe] who used to say some foul things about some people --but said it in sympathy to native Americans.

He said the US deserved 9-11 and so on.

This professor was protected by the university in spite of calls to have him fired because they said the university needs diverse voices, even if they are violent and they would protect his 1A rights...

Singapore, on the equator on the end of a peninsular and surrounded by the sea, has a record high of just 37C (98.6F), lower than the record highs of Finland, Sweden, the UK, Japan, Korea, Russia etc.

The Maldives, also known for being reliably warm and just 4 degrees north of the equator, has a high even lower, 34.9C, only a handful of countries have a high of lower than that (Iceland and Greenland being two)

Of course they also have the highest record low temperatres (19C and 17.2C each)

> They wouldn't since the property deed was transferred; as long as a court doesn't rule that the transfer was illegal because of forged signatures, the bank won't / shouldn't do anything - what if the accusation is baseless.

The bank isn't under any obligation to give you a mortgage. From their point of view they're lending you a big wedge of cash with the property as collateral, so they should be trying to satisfy themselves that the collateral is enough to cover the loan in case you default. If there's a non-negligible chance that the person they're lending the money to doesn't actually own the property (e.g. they're tied up in a legal dispute over ownership) then the bank has no collateral and is taking on a big risk.

> If a court does rule that the transfer was fraudulent, the bank can cancel the mortgage and demand immediate repayment.

What if the person doesn't have any means to pay back the mortgage? The bank has then just made a chunky loss. This is why the bank will typically do background checks on the property to establish ownership, condition of the property, environmental risks etc. (though this doesn't seem to have happened here, or the checks weren't overly thorough).
"Single source of truth" is pretty standard jargon in enterprises, at least ime. It refers to the fact that as an organization grows, the same information might be stored in different places in mutually incompatible ways. Ideally you want information to flow from one place that is your "single source of truth" so all systems agree on what data is correct. Otherwise you'll get systems that disagree, which is expensive to mitigate.

Salesforce is powerful because they centralize data collected from customer interactions like sales, they're the single source of truth for everything you want to know about your customers (which if you think about it is the most important thing to any business). Integrating chat with slack is an obvious move in that direction, since many people use slack as their primary customer interaction channel these days.
I can't comment on the legal issue, but it seems to me that the sites where she made the comments that got her fired deserve a big part of the blame for using disqus.

Are you similarly annoyed by the stupid stuff private companies you deal with spend their margins on?

Of course, the government has a tax monopoly. But wait, several private companies look like they do too! From my perspective there are more viable countries/governments to choose from than mobile or desktop OSes or online retailers.

I think you may be greatly underestimating just how many pennies are out there.

I used to think bicentennial quarters might be worth more someday. But here we are nearly a half century later and AFAICT a standard (not silver) bicentennial quarter which has been in circulation is still worth pretty much exactly 25 cents. So in real terms, a lot less than in 1976.

I guess the lesson is, if you're going to collect coins as an investment, don't bother unless they're either uncirculated or actually rare.
Yeah, but for less than 30k € you can already get a Renault Zoe with a speed of 145 km/h and a range of almost 400 km (52 kWh battery).

At the price of 50k €, you're in the Tesla Model 3 range.

Some answer from here: https://community.temporal.io/t/temporal-vs-akka-and-lagom/2...

"
I think the most fundamental difference is that Temporal provides an abstraction of a persistent call stack. Every step of a business process is transparently persisted by the server, so that it can continue its execution after a failure, an unavailability of a dependency it is trying to call, or after a sleep. The server drives execution of workflows to completion, not application code. Actor systems typically employ the fail-fast approach, where instead of retrying after an error, they return such error or fail the actor altogether, and leave the decision to retry to the caller.

While one can implement a bespoke workflow framework on top of actors (by using storage and persistent timers), it’s a lot of work to build a general purpose workflow system that would be powerful enough, have a clean programming model, support all the edge cases, and be polyglot. Temporal provides a mature out-of-the-box implementation that focused on the workflow scenarios from the start, covers all those mainstream and edge cases well, scales horizontally, and has been battle tested by some of the most demanding workloads."
It’s not backwards compatible as in Type2 would be obsolete. Type2 is for AC charging (up to 22kW) and that what home chargers use. So it is not going away.

CCS just adds two large pins under the Type2 for DC charging. No sense to have those heavy pins when you’re charging from small 3.7kW home wallbox.

Earths surface is 70% water so if there's an incident then there's a 70% chance you'll be landing in water.

Its possible to build a land lander that would not survive an ocean landing. So if for safety reasons you have to modify the design for water landing, may as well just make a water lander.

(edited to add, speed at splashdown for Apollo capsules was about 15 MPH, so accidentally crashing an Apollo into a flat cornfield would feel about like falling off a bicycle... there would be some damage but its rather unlikely to kill the astronauts, so most water landers can safely-ish land on land with an extremely high odds of survival)

Also helps that with the implosion of the English Empire the USA ruled the seas. Yes we had/have air force bases everywhere also, but there's just more surface area controlled.

If the Soviets had tried ocean recovery it would have been extremely awkward. Very handwavy the Soviets had an enormous number of low quality attack subs and extremely limited surface ships, whereas the USA had/has a huge dominating surface fleet. For better or worse the USA has enormous experience fishing aerospace vehicles out of the water, the USSR simply could not do ocean recovery like we did.
