"Scale and sophistication" scale relatively with time. Those servers we ran were relatively at the same level of scale and sophistication for their time. The only differentiator here is uptime, which has gotten worse as time has gone on. Five 9s used to be the standard. Three 9s seems to be the new standard.
>Then by the same logic, the sexualized mod doesn't count either. They were authored by the same person. Otherwise, this is yet another double standard: the sexualized mod counts despite not being linked by the author, yet the de-sexualized mod doesn't count because it want linked by the author.

The author doesn't matter. I am not criticizing the author as I don't know the author's intent.

I am criticizing the specific reaction of the KotakuInAction community to the work of the author the same way I might criticize how some people celebrate American History X for reasons that are not aligned with the filmmaker's intent.
Ah the joys of hiking 1000ft up a mountain in subzero temps through 4' drifts to clear ice off the panels. Although, for the most part I've found that provided you pitch the panels at 50 degrees or so, snow tends to slide off. The battery system has to be able to carry the load through 48h of zero panel output at least to let snow clear. In 20 years I've only had to physically clear ice off the panels three times.

Weren’t these government payouts calculated as the minimum to survive?

Times may have changed but when I worked jobs at the companies that currently are complaining about labor shortages, the first thing they did during our on boarding was tell us how to sign up for food stamps.

I don’t really care if welfare queen businesses can’t stay open after they’ve been sucking at the government teat for decades in the form of welfare for their workers. When your level of “impossible to hire” is set below the minimum needed to sustain an employee, then you are useless to society at large and you deserve to go out of business
That's exactly the point I'm getting at: to the extent modesty is incompatible with publishing your work, it's not a positive trait, and nobody should lament it "going the way of the dodo".

(I was, earlier in the thread, attempting to find a charitable interpretation of modesty that was compatible.)
Sounds like Theranos.
I've done quite a few roofs in my day and managed crews. If someone is "managing" without getting up on the roof, they're not doing the real work.

Excellent, thanks. I bought a laptop recently so not yet ready for an upgrade but this is starting to look like my next one.

Wishing you guys great success!
How would you use ai for cyber attacks in 5-10 years? Custom gpt3 optimized for phishing? Deepfakes for fake video calls? Deepfakes audio for fake phone calls? Captcha crushers by learning to fake fingerprints and fool trackers? Flood the internet with 10 million ai generated websites with fake content that cross references each other heavily to push fake news? In combination with identity theft as a step in a multi stage scheme? Mass swattings? Fabricating evidence of crimes?

What would you do to be safe from this?
Kubernetes, no.

Also, that "30,000 servers" number is off by... a lot. No comment on by how many orders of magnitude. :-)
You've got a great platform to work with in this regard. Good luck!
Fair point, my newer (late 2010s) Thinkpad has soldered RAM which is a step in the wrong direction, so this is definitely an interesting product.
The counter argument of companies not having infinite money for what would be a finite raise doesn't really work either.

Even Wal-Mart who is often seen as being in an ultra low profit margin industry, has over 2.3m employees and yet could have paid each one an additional $7,000 just from profit in a given year.
> That's the whole story.

Now you've both been disingenuous.
Isn't it ironic that IDOL (one of autonomys big products) is now being pitched to do fraud detection!
This is where we disagree. It requires little skill to do it well.

Minimal/simple/clean designs are not only simple visually but simple from a intelligence and effort standpoint.

There are many UI designers/programmers but their aren't many Character artists/programmers, 3D artists/programmers, animators/programmers, concept artist/programmers.

The reason is the latter examples are two freaking incredibly hard skills to combine. The former dual skill set is common because UI design is extremely trivial compared to the later skill sets.
Flood; Ark; and Evolution from Stephen Baxter will always stay with me.
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see, although Viasat-3 will be 1/4th the cost of Starlink (on a $/Mbps/month) basis and Viasat-4 will be about 1/15th. Even launching for "free", it's gonna be pretty tough for SpaceX to meet those numbers. The GEO satellites also require simpler and cheaper ground infrastructure, both on the ISP and on the customer side.
Does Framework [the company] offer, or plan to offer internship opportunities for students at any point? As a student, I would love to have the ability to work at a company like Framework that is innovating for a good cause.
One point that doesn't seem to have been explained yet - mentioned in the OP article - is that Chrome OS has canary, dev, and beta channels prior to stable, with real users.

For something like this to have happened without those non-stable channel users experiencing it, it seems like there must have been a code change that was pushed direct to the stable channel - which negates the purpose of the other channels in the first place.

At the very least it seems like a severe process failure. I don't think the dev who changed the code is necessarily at fault - it's more a question of how it was allowed to get into the stable channel without going through the normal process.
Some Doctors publish research, and put that on their resumes.
Odd question: is your first wife Jewish (specifically Ashkenazi)?
Reading the article I thought they should have started in VTOL mode somewhere near the cost, then dive down onto the sea and fly like a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-effect_vehicle over the mediterran, climbing up at the other coast and again land in VTOL mode. Now I know ground effect vehicles are a lost art, but I would think collision avoidance and evasion would be simpler to implement by computer vision on-board, while operating autonomously between waypoints and without remote control.

edit: something like this

Having the lowest latency is only useful to commodity traders. There's no way Starlink can ever compete with terrestrial service on QoS in general (due to Shannon theorem). Their USP is universal availability.
> No I don't mean Rawls. Justice, in this context, means giving to each man what he deserves.

Yo, we took an informal vote and it looks like everyone agrees that businesses don’t “deserve” cheap labor.
Definitely. I use a link shortener to track visits to my portfolio links. (Almost) Nobody looks at your public work.
Google hired me in 2006 (then 11 years of experience) as a 3. I didn't know any better at the time, partly because I was coming into the valley from the rest of the world.

I didn't find out just how screwed up this was until becoming part of the hiring process at Facebook... some seven or eight years later.

So... yeah. What you said is totally a thing.
That's still a patch release not a minor release.
The pluggable expansion card (usb, hdmi, storage, etc.) feature is SUCH a great idea! Great work, and congrats on the milestone
The article says nothing about vaccinated people.
Drug store is not the same as a pharmacy. (At least here in Germany). Of course you can get fluoride toothpaste in the supermarket as well though.
> Build a small personal project and put the code on GitHub. Accompany it with a README with a detailed description of the project and screenshots of it in action—almost no-one does this, it only takes a few hours extra and it massively increases the impact your project will have on hiring managers who are checking you out.

Not to mention the impact your project will have on potential users. Please include a screenshot and a decent description of your project if you want people to use it.

GitHub projects I can forgive though, because you aren't usually trying to sell a project, and you don't owe anyone there anything. But even websites selling software occasionally don't have a single screenshot of it. In those cases I sometimes learn more from a Google image search than from the product website.
That doesn't seem like hostility, it's standard practice in many parts of the transportation industry. If you want to send cargo from Hong Kong to Long Beach the ship is going to leave port on schedule whether your container arrives in time or not.
Also the median age seemed pretty high for miners in a country with lots more young people than old.
Peter Watts has a good biology background so his books are pretty accurate when it comes to sci-fi advances with biology. Definitely better than most authors who usually focus more on physics/engineering.

I liked “Blindsight” and “The Freeze-Frame Revolution”

I would also appreciate any recommendations for hard sci-fi authors with a biology focus, I’m sure there are many more I don’t know.
The thing that's always baffled me about Excel is why you must always work in "minified" mode when composing formulas.

It seems like just adding the ability to spread a calculation out over multiple lines and add some indentation would make the bugs everyone complains about go down by... a lot.
Hugely suspicious of this just a face value.

HP are big enough to hire anyone they like to do due-dilligence. Where is the negligence claim on who they did hire?

This was a listed company with audited financial statements. Where is the action against the auditors?

Americans generally hate hearing it but their courts a bit notorious for home-town decisions.

Anyway aside from that as Matt Levine is fond of telling us "Everything in the US is securities fraud." HP class action to follow. "The company management should have known it wasn't competent to do an acquisition and could be the victim of fraud to the tune of billions." I'll never get my head around an owner of the company joining the other owners of the company suing the company to be paid by the owners of the company.

edit: Never at all surprised to hear about financial dealings in the UK being potentially crooked.
How on Earth you would need 20+kWh of batteries for a system that even run 24/7 uses 2.4 kWh? And absolutely doesn’t make sense to run it 24/7, even when no one is using it, if you are running it off grid.

The abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass had this to say on the subject[1]:

> experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other

According to Wikipedia[1]:

> Douglass went on to speak about these conditions as arising from the unequal bargaining power between the ownership/capitalist class and the non-ownership/laborer class within a compulsory monetary market: "No more crafty and effective devise for defrauding the southern laborers could be adopted than the one that substitutes orders upon shopkeepers for currency in payment of wages. It has the merit of a show of honesty, while it puts the laborer completely at the mercy of the land-owner and the shopkeeper"

Maybe Apple will go after some startup maybe not. As a customer why would I risk not having access to replacement parts because they can't be produced/sold anymore? Having a laptop that looks like Apple design is not a great trade-off here.
I agree w/everything you're saying. I'm questioning the ethics of raising taxes if the extra money gets mismanaged and ends up wasted or doubled back to the wealthiest individuals. The people who would be managing this money are the exact ones whose legislation has created this environment.

Raising the deficit and inflating the currency for blind and reckless cash give-aways (imo), only makes it worse and all the more reprehensible and should have everyone questioning why we're not overthrowing the existing parties by rallying around new ones and collectively agreeing to stop voting Dem or Rep altogether. Because if we traced the government (tax) money spent over the past year to where it is now, I bet we'd see it directly widening the wealth gap no matter the party or rhetoric used while misappropriating it.

Anyway, I think the real solutions (to hunger, education, healthcare, &c) would involve breaking down the issues causing the inequality and really working to solve them one by one in good faith with a common vision. Small groups of people can achieve this. It's unfortunate that the idea of that happening on the scale we're discussing is laughably absurd.

48h is less than 5 kWh of batteries, one quarter of what the parent post proposed as the absolute minimum.
So despite all the evidence in the article, you're going to assert that the CIA, despite explicitly saying they don't know where exactly it comes from, is trying to blame Cuba for it to destabilize them, because of the name?

You realize part of the issue with the "China Flu" label was conservatives beating the shit out of Asians?

You realize that there are no reports of US citizens beating the shit out of Cubans because of Havana syndrome? And that a niche affliction in the foreign service is different than a pandemic killing 600,000 domestically?
The increase in lumber prices recently was due to sawmill capacity constraints. Forest land owners didn't have higher profits.
Yeah, they will never get to 42k, it's just marketing hype. Once they have one shell with sufficient coverage, adding new shells just tanks the economics of the constellation because of the uneven distribution of demand.

To sell, obviously.
It seems like you're conflating toilet paper being a product vs someone working being more like a service.

A shop being out of stock does not in itself mean there is a shortage.

> The problem then isn't that toilet paper isn't available, its that its price becomes completely unethical

> ...

> That is massively different than what is going on here. We're talking about huge corporations that have spent years reducing their work force that want to increase their work for now and are upset that they can't get the same prices for labor as before

It also seems like you're trying to moralize this when it's just about supply and demand.
Dealing with customers. It is a headache.

One of the (few) perks of being a subcontractor or working for somebody else is not really having to deal with the homeowner. You get to answer every question with "hey that's a great question you should call my boss and ask him".
In the case of type 2 diabetes patients, reducing fasting plasma glucose is exactly what you would want to do since chronic hyperglycemia is the major issue in that condition. It’s not clear if it would work the same for type 1 or non-diabetic people.

Correct in the 1980s to 1990s, but the later televisions had some RAM and could cache a decent amount.

By then, TeleText in the UK was on its way out. My dad used it to see the football and cricket scores, which you could usually overlay over what you were watching (the cricket or football, naturally).
That is hard. I have two decades plus starting in 89. Windows is a lock.

Fir a time, I ran NX on both Mac OS and Linux. Linux is a tough setup. Mac OS was easier. Both are missing features related to fonts.

Other than that, it reminded me of running high end SDRC on IRIX. :D

Support is either gone or on the serious fade today. Too much integration and momentum.
Funcom's Anarchy Online just had it's 20th anniversary and feels the same way. It's easy to log back in and see the virtual world, but without players inhabiting the space it's missing the context that really caused these virtual spaces to be so significant in my, and I assume many other's, memories.
Yeap, and full self-driving is coming at the end of this year.

there are languages that have better support with dependencies though, e.g. Julia (every time I have to debug dependency issues in some other person's Python code/requirements.txt, I find myself wishing it had been written in Julia). I'm not disagreeing with the overall tenor of your post, but I do think there's a medium that's possible to strike here: maybe something like a simplified DSL in Julia, or something like https://www.visidata.org/

Both are blood-to-blood, rather than respiratory. They are not at all contagious, compared to flus and colds. A lot more deadly, but they can be stopped much more easily.

Ebola spread is not stopped so much by it’s deadliness, but by the fact that you can’t get it by just being near someone who has it and is breathing.
everyone loves MDN, surely you should only resign after commiting w3schools?
Same experience here. Everyone says you should spend your nights and weekends building a portfolio on top of your day job, but no one looks at it when you apply. And then you get put aside because you didn’t know for sure in an instant what is the result of `‘1’ + 1` in JavaScript.
Recently I was made aware of jobs that are advertised purposefully with good criteria to prove a shortage (high pay, never filled).

The companies advertising the job then use those as leverage to hire an overseas candidate (immigration backdoor). The company always cry labour shortage and dismiss local candidates.

In the scam, the company brings a foreigner on a special visa (usually highly skilled visa, candidate may not have those skills but no matter). The company pays they foreigner the high salary with the condition that the immigrant pay the money back under the table (and don't talk).

In some cases the jobs advertised are not real. They are a front, once the foreign candidate arrives, they are assigned work in a completely different low skilled job for their employer (but have a fancy job title) and are happy to do that for a long game shot at residency.
That all seems like more touch UI casualties.

increasing prices on toilet paper would have fixed the supply problem for the rich. It would have likely done nothing for actually increasing the distribution problem of supplying everyone with some adequate amount of toilet paper. Nor would it have likely increased the capacity of toilet paper manufacture in the long term.

Maybe variable pricing might have worked - price x for the first n rolls a and higher prices thereafter.

Low paying employers should be counting their blessings right now. I keep wondering when somebody is going to mention "hazard pay" for any job requires them to work around others. At this point in time that seems like a totally reasonable argument a labor force might make.

Why would you give people negative points for trying anything they can do to compete in a fucking ridiculous job market? I mean, suggest alternatives if your genuine intention is to help people find work, rather than just saying that you actively look down on people for trying something.

You get negative points for being a dick. Of course, I'm making assumptions, which you should never do.
