> Back in the late 90s when I was just starting Moonfruit, the world’s first SAAS website builder, creating your own website was hard. From setting up your own server, to working with an ISP, to getting a content delivery network and integrating a middleware layer to communicate with your computer, to design and UX — creating a website was a lengthy multi-step process that was only accessible to a small group of technical experts or large companies. It wasn’t until websites were simple and easy to make that the full creative and business potential of the web really began to blossom.

It's not good that this introductory post doesn't start right off with a problem to be solved. Instead it presents the credentials of the current leader.

If I had to pick out the problem, it would be this sentence, contained in the fourth paragraph:

> Currently just 10 countries manufacture 70% of the world’s goods.

In the fifth paragraph, we get a more clear phrasing of the problem:

> The surprisingly manual and bespoke process of teaching robots how to do things, which hasn’t changed much over the last few decades, is currently a cap on their potential to help more businesses.

Ok, so this is going to be a company that solves the problem of poor usability of industrial robots through machine learning. The larger goal is to put manufacturing capacity closer to consumers for better sustainability.
I worked really hard in high school and got basically nothing for it (went to an average college, and now have an average job). My message to your friend would be "tough".
You can also just hire tutors to help you with coursework. How is the SAT different in that aspect?
> Gachapon are capsule vending machines, which unlike slot machines always spit some kind out of a prize out of them.

Except when you get a 1-star hero in (insert mobile game here), that "prize" is virtually meaningless.

I guess you're right in that there's "always a prize". But that doesn't mean that every prize is worthwhile.
In this specific case, I agree with you and the courts. You shouldn't be able to compel speech (i.e. their writing) and you shouldn't be able to compel custom work. I'm speaking more broadly about regional discrimination. If there is only one grocery store in twenty miles, you don't have a car, and you're told you can't do business there, that's a problem. However, this is not the context here and you clearly imply that such behavior would not be ok.

So basically stack ranking?
The link leads to an article on PowerQuery which is a Power BI product. PowerQuery can surely do joins, but it doesn't operate within Excel's data model - cells and sheets. It's an external tool from the Power BI family from which integrates with Excel to a certain extent.

In a similar fashion you could've posted a link to running an SQL join query from Excel (which is surely doable for a trained user). Technically it's possible, but it would be wrong to pretend like the join is done in Excel.
People really need to learn how to better express themselves. You can express displeasure without wishing for injury or harm on another human being.
What? I'm pro free-speech. I'm sick of the private companies hiding behind 230 while simultaneously acting as publishers.

In theory, 230 is great. In practice, it's just become regulatory capture as it's selectively enforced.

And honestly, I have no problem with the conspiracy theory "problem". I don't think it's a problem. Ideas are countered by other ideas, not restricting speech.
As someone who got out of a 19 Bolt through the buybacks after the first recall, good riddance. The software update limiting range to 90% was one thing, but with the second defect the suggestion is to avoid letting it go below 70 miles of range (~30% charge). That certainly takes a bite out of the usability of the car.

From the first recall the continual "the real fix will be out next month" got old really fast. Hopefully GM does better this time. Good luck to all the current Bolt owners, I'm happy I'm not in that group anymore.
Problem is, you have to download the entire video to check the hash. That's not how video embedding works; the client browser is just handed some link, and it obtains pieces of the video, rendering it instantly.

Basically, little segments of the video have to have a signature which is continuously validated. Or something like that.
This wouldn't be a problem if the self-driving cars used celestial navigation, which I've always advocated for.
And if anyone saw that coming it was Feynman. This isn't quite prophetic for 1959 but it's close:

> I don't know how to do this on a small scale in a practical way, but I do know that computing machines are very large; they fill rooms. Why can't we make them very small, make them of little wires, little elements – and by little, I mean little. For instance, the wires should be 10 or 100 atoms in diameter, and the circuits should be a few thousand angstroms across.
Vista actually ran fine after service pack 2 was installed. At that point Windows 7 was being released and it became a moot point.
I would like to see first amendment protections that limit what judges and courts can do. Since this doesn’t require Congress to “make no law”, while failing to limit the reach of the government.

As a side note, I would also like to see greater protections for “commercial speech”.
These are no answer to definition, however. Is Christian saying "gay is wrong" punish with jail? Is Christian saying "do bad things to gay people" punish with jail? Is Christian saying "no marrying for gay people" punish with jail? Some combination of some?
Maybe for the "big" decisions (like whether or not to store user data in the first place), but I'd argue that in the myriad of small decisions (like whether to copy the entire user object into an analytics table or just a pseudonymized id) I do think the average dev isn't as "respectful" as you think...

YMMV of course
I used to keep it on the left years ago, but I stopped doing that a long time ago. But typical Microsoft... everything becomes less flexible over time. The UI in Windows 2000 was light-years better than anything they've had in the last 10 years.
Humans are no where near the limit to being attentive on the road. When you consider how many people are either distracted or tuned out to their surroundings, there is a ton of room for improvement, and not theoretical improvement, there are clearly some drivers that are consistently able to make correct decisions, whether there is risk or not.

This is not to say that software and hardware will not quickly overtake us, but while humans are on the road and in control, improvement will be possible.
And even then - all the features are in perpetual Beta and don't work.

I've had a Model 3 for 3 years with FSD. My experience:

Autopark - trying to get it to show up is almost impossible. When it does show up, the chance of curb rash is between 95-99%.

Summon - for the most part works if it can connect. still does some sketchy stuff some times.

Smart Summon - literal piece of shit that will always do the wrong thing and then just stop in the middle of the road.

Navigate on Autopilot - kind of works, but it makes the auto-lane change feature finicky. Without NOA, auto lane change works fine, with it enabled, fails 80% of the time with the car jerking back into the original lane.

Can't wait for FSD though /s
I would bet my paycheque you'll buy another Apple device.
Week in Review
You......ask what people got on the SATs in your job interview?
I saw that. I do like that I would be able to try it out for a month. I would be much more amenable to it if they took the monthly fee off the flat purchase price.
Blood moon is a thing...
I find this to be less of an issue than the noise it generates. If you maximise ram at purchase, the limitations of a laptop seem to be battery and storage more than anything else. A 8 year old MacBook is just fine for a lot of usage, except for the dead battery and limited storage.
Having these easily repairable would make my life a lot easier - this laptop looks great.
> There is only one group of students who are “overrepresented,” to use the chilling language of social engineering, at the university: Asian Americans.

This is partly because of the yield rate of Asian students. This refers to the rate that admitted students choose to attend UC.

White, Black, and Hispanic students all choose to attend UCs at less than 40%. The yield rate for Asian students is 48%.

If Asians had the same yield rate as the other racial groups, their share of UC enrollment would drop from 37% to 31%. This is pretty close to their share of the UC applicant pool, 28%.

This comes from the most recent data available, from 2020. [1]

I'd love it if there was more org-level functionality in general, for both content and configuration.
I personally feel that colleges are dropping the SAT and ACT because those scores show correlation between race and higher/lower admission criteria in the admitted student body. See the Harvard lawsuit. Without the scores it is easier for colleges to shape the incoming student population to better approximate the desired demographic distribution.
For sufficiently distant objects, this is completely irrelevant. This lets us roughly gauge the reciprocal of distance.

> I can't source a replacement keyboard when the "S" popped off.

> All examples I gave are real life examples which I've encountered.

Real life for me, too. The S key on my laptop no longer works. I took apart the keyboard to clean it one day, put everything back together, it all worked, except one key - S. Is there something about that specific key or is this just a weird coincidence?
A nice article. It seems likely that we will never really know how life started.

It is still very interesting to research this subject, because it might help us to learn more about the possibility of life on other planets.
The SAT is one of the few ways that smart, poor kids have to move up in the world. It not very study-able. Removing the SAT is just going to take the one semi-objective measurement of ability that exists out of the application process. This is great for university officials because then they can make their student rainbow have all the desired hues but it sucks for kids with real potential.

Not very study-able:

Remembrance of Earth’s past had some of the weakest protagonists in a book I’ve read. It also has this weird thing where characters plan for things and that just … happens. It was strange seeing book arching plans go without a hitch.

But I think it was incredibly interesting for me to see the Asian perspective on the west. I’ve read it more as an allegory of the different peoples of the world, shown from a perspective totally different than my own.

I do think though that you have to be a bit of a hard sci-fi fan to finish it, but the science-y ideas are very interesting. I think it changed how I view the vast cosmos, at least a little bit.

Per year? According to SpaceX, they burned through a billion dollars in funding over their first decade.

The development costs for the Falcon 1 were ~100 million, for Falcon 9 about 300 million.

So a billion/year seems adequate.

Sometimes I want to do something quickly, and I dump 20,000 rows from a db query into csv/excel and fiddle. Tableau is often nicer for pure visualisations.

Yes they are. So much of the flexibility of the desktop UI disappeared with Windows 8. It's literally less customizable than Windows 2 was.
Speaking of website bugs, whenever I change any options on https://frame.work/products/laptop-diy- edition/configuration/edit it reloads a page, scrolling to the top. Probably not something that would stop me from buying if I was going to, but annoying nonetheless.
Wrong. Here's a Catholic's Biblical Guide to Homosexuality and why it is not acceptable. They can read. They also can quote the original Greek.

It's literally the same in America. What you're seeing is the "dream hoarder class" lashing out. These are elites that seem to have nothing but contempt for normal folks like me and I'm tired of it.

At my high school most people didn't apply to more than 3 schools (1 or 2 less selective state schools + 1 flagship). I only applied to 4 and only actually had a chance at the two I got into. The undergrad I graduated from didn't require an essay or anything, just SAT scores and GPA. Even my flagship university - a public Ivy - effectively just judges in-state applicants using a GPA/SAT grid system.

I'm not alone in this, my university has about 40,000 students enrolled today.
that is quite the hopeful view. The High Speed CA rail is now projected as a 100$ billion project. With nothing to show for it.

We will never get massive public transport, no matter how much money is spent. That is the harsh reality
The full clip shows the false yellow light is absent from the UI for long periods of time.

Watch a Tesla UI for a while and you will regularly show objects being reclassified. What’s breaking that loop is the fact the moons relative position is fixed so after rejecting it as not a traffic light the software then sees that same input and starts treating it like a new object after a while. I don’t know if the slowing behavior is related to the misclassified moon or a response to the model being confused.
Really just watch the Spielberg film for Ready Player One and to get the gist of it.

Not “absent religion”, but with a non-homophobic religion. I’d you look at the history of Catholic Church (I like this particular example, because I know it much better than any other religion), you’ll see that it’s a repeating pattern of:

1. “The law, given to us by Christ themselves, requires us to condemn and fight against <insert any of the Human Rights>“

2. Eventually the society forces the Church to stop this nonsense

3. “The Church has always been a proponent of <that same human right>“

4. GOTO 1

This is a slow process, so people no longer remember the Church was against eg woman voting rights, or against freedom of thought or freedom of religion. Same way in a hundred years nobody will remember it used to be homophobic.
Illinois used to have electric rail connecting every podunk town for a nickel. It was called the "interurban" and was scrapped for the war effort in the 1940s. The reason half the towns (that now require cars) even exist is because the train had to stop for fuel and water. Not enough GDP is a pretty sad state of affairs for the richest nation on earth.
> but it doesn't operate within Excel's data model

Power Query is an Excel add-on, and has been around much longer than Power BI and has nothing to do with it. This has been possible for almost a decade, since Excel integrated a robust in-memory columnar database capable of dealing with millions of rows.

> it would be wrong to pretend like the join is done in Excel

The join is done in Excel, I don't need to pretend. That you think Excel is just a bunch of sheets and cells is your own mistaken mental model of what the program is and can do.

Here's another reference:

> A more inclusive representation is to recognize a spectrum between the non-living and the living—a “grayness” resulting from the protracted evolutionary process that gave rise to life.

The meaning of "grayness" would appear to have something to do with the fuzzy line between life and non-life.

I don't know about GCP but Azure's egress costs go down as you use more and more dropping as low as .05/GB, and if you are using Cloudflare on top of it the costs go down even more. Then don't forget ingress fees, Azure charges nothing, while AWS charges ~.015/GB in. Since a lot of protocols rely on heavy ingress as well that starts to add up. AWS is notoriously expensive in bandwidth costs, that's nothing new.

We don't face the consequences, at least in my experience seeing the justice system play out. Drunken driver? Affluenza? Old person turning in front of a motorcycle killing the rider? You're getting off relatively easy for taking a life or maiming someone. I've followed the cases for each example given, the last being a close friend. The retiree who pulled out, in their 80s, still has their license and lives comfortably in their retirement community and my friend is dead.

You are right, the software should absolutely be held to a high standard (otherwise we're socializing losses and privatizing profits, also bad!), but please don't perpetuate a lie that existing drivers are held responsible to the degree they should for their mistakes (or even intentional acts) that cost lives. You'll find examples where someone is made an example of, but that is rare.

So disagree, please (checks and balances are important, as is the dialog we're having), but having seen what humans have to offer in this context, I will be the first, on my own time and resources, in front of regulators to argue for aggressive driver assist system development and implementation. Because the alternative is hot garbage we get by with because there are limited alternatives (ie no public transportation most everywhere and the inability to deploy it cost effectively), and we do a disservice to those who die or suffer because we could do better.
Is student quality a well-defined and measurable value? Is it a scalar?
Yes, Postgres' jsonb and array support lets you not only query into these fields, but also, like you say, index into them too. Its really the best of both worlds: you get a great solid relational database, but if you need document database features, you don't really lose out on anything by using json, except that the queries are a bit more ugly. I'm super happy with postgres these days, its rock solid and full of fantastic features.
Amsterdam is my point. If it were founded in 1906 instead of 1306 it would look more Los Angles.

It's very hard take an area developed around a car (everywhere in America since 1920s) and make it bike preferable.

You basically need for the area to be so run down that you can start from scratch. Like a taking a formerly industrial area and then only zoning it for mixed use, high density residential/commercial use.
