What if _you_ didn’t? I outlined scenarios which are real risks for millions of people and a fair fraction of those either involve no or limited user consent. Maybe it’d be possible to have a secure factory reset – this is harder than it might seem with firmware in so many places – but that only helps if you even know that you need to. Anything which allows undetectable rootkits means that a large number of people will never even realize that because phones are general purpose devices and most people are not security experts. Worse, how many of them are actively being betrayed by trusted experts - abusive partners, unethical technicians, etc. - who will say it’s fine?
Interestingly, 150 people is a natural size where most people can maintain cognitive and social relationships: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar%27s_number (though it seems to vary in practice up to 500+, depending on the person)
At that scale, they may be doing more interesting things, like participating in whatever passes for a spot market, or even time-of-day arbitrage.

There is considerable variation region-to-region, but a common pattern is for the spot market to clear every 15 minutes to provide secondary frequency reserve, with a day-ahead market that clears 24 hours in advance, and a wide range of futures markets that build on the day-ahead market.
People in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, L.A. etc, get themselves into these situations by buying new construction on the edge of the city thinking that the traffic on the expressways can't possibly get any worse. They then realize several years later that it has, in fact. The open secret is that their lifestyle choices are what's causing it.

My point is that you are not entitled to both your McMansion enclave and your cushy software engineering position at Big Corp. Denser development (in the U.S.) is necessary and would be achieved if people were willing to pay for it and vote for it.

Instead, they do the worst possible thing, which is imagine they can live a pseudo-bucolic existence and not be members of the urban center, or at least old growth dense suburbs, that actually support the jobs they want to have.

Is this pathology uniquely American? No, but arguably we invented it and have taken it to the most extreme level.
Being a woman that ticked all the boxes for a big investment was exactly one of Holmes main selling features, so a lot of the author's points ring hollow. Everyone was / is looking for a success story like hers, and she shrewdly took advantage. I agree fully that she didn't do anything out of step with what other startup founders are doing all the time. It's just that the stakes are higher in front line diagnostic medicine than in some SaSS thing, and so a failure has a higher cost. But overall,

I'm not guilty. You're the one that's guilty. The lawmakers, the politicians, the Colombian drug lords, all you who lobby against making drugs legal.

From the evidence presented in this article
For sure, I didn't mean to imply they weren't looking at compute too! https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion is another example of the shared compute vision. What I was trying to point out is that (at least for Arrow core) they seem to eschew FFI and generating shared libraries in favour of from scratch implementations in other compiled languages and direct bindings in interpreted ones.
And, to reply to you in this thread.

It is a loony tunes experiment that ANYONE can reproduce. Even on themselves. What do you think people will wonder when they test it out and find out that magnets stick to them?

The thought I had today on the way to work was a what if: If the vaccinated are really becoming electromagnetic, how would they be affected by an EMP burst?
The slanted bar in the "A" is slanted the other way, the letter "A" is not alone but includes the full name "APSE", the rest of the typeface is pretty different (the "E" for example), and it's inside a rectangle, not a circle.

IANAL but this seems like a pretty weak resemblance.

Edit: I hope you aren't an official representative of Ansible.
The manpage combined with some (forced) experimentation with the wonky code mentioned was enough for me. I run with this config as even the earlyoom defaults were not strict enough:

-r 30 -m 5 -s 80

I run with 16gb of memory and do use swap. In practice if swap is growing at all once memory is near full, I'm in trouble and action needs to be taken.

Ironically not used a single time on the front page of ansible.com as far as I can see on my iPhone XR.

(I also couldn't find a single case of A in shaded circle on the APSE page but I admit I could be missing something.)
> I see little reason this means they can turn around a huge beast.

Why do you see little reason? We have repeated examples in recent history of a strong leader turning around what appears to be an immovable object. Jobs at Apple. Nadella at Microsoft. Su at AMD.

I see little reason to believe Intel can’t do the same. They have the technology and history to be successful, they just appear to have had management that wasn’t prepared to deal with a changing market.
How we made Viz: 'We printed 150 copies for £42.52'
Yeah, but if the people running off aren't calling in, then the technology isn't going to make any impact until the public relations change.
iOS. I realise it feels like smartphones have been ubiquitous forever, but iOS is actually only 14 years old (and obviously most of the code in it is far younger).

It's not as if no-one knew about the dangers of writing security-sensitive systems in C or C++ in 2007 or as if the Internet was some new idea where no-one understood that bad people would try to remotely compromise your system using it. Apple might not yet have realised how important the iPhone was going to become back then but they were doing very well by a decade ago and they were huge by five years ago.

> Productivity is defined as an amount of work output (whatever that is for the job in question), divided by time.

Maybe in a widget factory. Programmers have various skill levels. I'd prefer to hire somebody who takes twice as long to complete a task, if they're taking that time to ensure that it won't cause problems downstream or in edge cases. Fast & sloppy programmers who maximize a commits per hour metric are the worst.
It won't even be leadership. TSMC 3nm is about equivalent to Intel 20A, and is hitting risk production by the end of this year.

It reads to me as sugarcoating the admission that they're continuing to fall behind.

There could be many reasons for Apse to fail, but this should not be one.

Yes. The capital cost is only slightly higher for 30 eFlyer 800s vs 1 new 737, but the operating cost is much lower. eFlyers are more flexible as they can operate at small rural and suburban airports that wouldn't be economically viable with large aircraft, and this also enables much less time spent in airport terminals as smaller airports are MUCH faster to get through compared to large airports like LAX. We're talking like 15 minutes vs an hour.

How about converting electrical generation away from coal and natural gas?

Clearly this would have a larger impact than allowing 1% of cars sold to be hybrid or gas.

Now how about a reason you'd want 100% of cars to be electric and not 99? What about 98? Have you done any actual analysis here or are you just reflexively making the largest demands possible?
"...it is particularly frustrating as my personal FB account is tied to not only my Oculus library (which I can no longer access) but also my FB business page"

Oof!
Diversity can help improve interoperability, if everyone sticks to only the public APIs and protocols, you can cross-run unit tests and make sure that everyone passes all of the unit tests for all implementations, and yield the same results, the only difference should be in performance.

Like farming, monocultures seem profitable, until the pests show up, and can swamp out all of the advantages.
I described some of this in other comments, but my favorite use case is Vechain (I hold their coin). They primarily focus on supply chain logistics, Walmart uses them for their food supply chain. Food validation is a big issue in China, so you can scan a QR code and get information on where your food has been and the temperature it has been kept at all along the chain. They also just released a covid passport for the small country of San Marino.

Beyond just Vechain, Cardano is working with Ethiopia to give five million students a blockchain-based ID that will allow the government to track their academic performance. There are more examples like these, though admittedly many of them have been announced in the past year or so. Ethereum, which is a bit older than these projects, is on path to clear $1-2 Trillion this year.

I know the argument that this is early days isn't very compelling, but I think it makes more sense to look at generation 3 cryptos as the start of crypto's focus being fully blockchain projects instead of currency replacements.
The only way that would POSSIBLY happen is if the car said an update was available, and he clicked "Install" rather than closing the notification.

Even if he clicked "Install", a 2-minute timer would have appeared to give him time to cancel the update. Both the initial notification and the window showing the 2-minute timer tell you that you will not be able to drive while the update is installing.

So either your friend is lying or he's an idiot.
While not the same as the article, it's also fun to "reverse engineer" old BASIC programs into a spec and then code it up from scratch.
While that would be amazing to have, the problem isn't lack of technology (or more specifically blockchain technology). Amazon could very easily set up a marketplace to facilitate transfer of ebooks, movies and more to other accounts. They could also issue "tokens" for redemption on other platforms. All this is possible with good old fashioned CRUD.
While yes, it is not strictly a Debian project, there is significant overlap between the Debian on Mobile team:
https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team

And the Mobian Team:
https://gitlab.com/mobian1

Debian packaging has a nice feature too in that you can check the source used to build it, and any of the packages will be reproducible. So if you don't trust any of the Builds on the Mobian repository, you can actually check them all yourself.
Agreed. I thought this was an interesting post but was baffled by every y axis.

Even if it wasn't deliberate on viewing the first design sketch it or designing it the resemblance had to be noticed.
We settled on this choice after originally using alternate projections. The source data is not in mercator, we specifically reproject to mercator.

I don't disagree with you, I personally prefer other projections for many of our maps, but after the hundredth comment saying "you got the shape of [MY STATE] wrong, you idiots!" we realized that people think of their state (and country, in the case of CONUS) in mercator, so we decided it wasn't worth fighting that fight.

For other countries, we tend to use locale specific projections.

One projection question for you, while we're chatting: do you have a favorite Asian projection? I wanted to center the projection on center mass, which would mean changing the poles, but couldn't figure that out!

btw if you ever run into someone who uses the hebrew version of Jacob.... I'd go with Ya'Qov , the hard B sound at the end and the softer V sound are the same letter in hebrew but I've basically never encountered anyone who uses the hard sound

An EV is much less convenient than a conventional vehicle

Your statement is laughably inaccurate, and sounds to me to support a narrative more than being based on personal experience. I fill the "tank" on the Leaf when I sleep, instead of going out of my way to find a gas station when I drive the ICE. And this is first-get Leaf, which is a loooong way from what more modern BEVs offer. I'm also reminded that I have to go get the oil changed on that Scion xB soon; how convenient.

Look, you don't want a BEV, don't buy one. You don't want to buy TSLA, don't buy the stock. What you don't get to do is just make shit up, like this statement:

Just look at the costs of a full battery module replacement, it would eat up over 50% of that $25K price.

I've looked. Your numbers aren't even close to reality.
Also good tonality with digital negatives can be counter intuitive because the spectral response of various media is not uniform and printer inks are not necessarily pure colors.
Amazon will never bet on Bitcoin as it's primary virtual coin. It makes 0 sense since there's too much volatility plus it's open to manipulation by outsiders.

As an active international company, Amazon is perfectly positioned to create its own virtual coin. They've created their own transportation service since what is available did not meet their needs. Likewise, the credit card companies take a big chunk of their profits and don't meet all their needs. It's only a matter of time before they go after them. I bet they're making plans to create it and use it for internal transactions aiming for it to be used by all the shoppers. Eventually it will be convertible to any currency and Bitcoin will be one of them. This is the power of being big and getting bigger.

This is a multi year project but it's coming.

There is time pressure, but you are also not expected to come up with a perfect, flawless solution. That is often not even interesting. The point of a good interview question is to see how a candidate works through a problem, not to see if they know the answer to an arbitrary quiz question.

Giving more time doesn't give you an advantage, because the correct answer isn't what gets you points.
Why is meritocracy always viewed as a single generation concept? Memes, especially effective ones, transcend generations and are quite effectively passed down from parent to progeny. I certainly am more effective because of ideas my forefathers taught my father who, in turn, taught me.

Wow! This is an incredible problem to tackle. I’ve faced this problem in the past and I think there’s a larger scope of just being able to effectively perform tasks remotely - in a different country.

I live between India and the US, and just being able to help me easily pay bills, send goodies to my parents and friends in India, etc. would be super valuable. Right now, I’d have to be up at the right time, hope my India phone number will work fine (oftentimes I won’t receive SMSs on it when I’m in the US) to be able to do these things.

I have to rely on friends back home to do these chores and tasks and makes me feel like I’m burdening them.

The reason Linux systems lock up like that is because the kernel will let a process fill all memory up with dirty pages that need writeback, then as soon as it needs some memory the first thing it does it drops all of the in-memory copies of file-backed pages, which includes all of your programs. Then whenever one of your programs wants to run, or continue running by branching to a far address, it has to swap in that code from disk again. Even though you thought your system does not "have swap", it does have swap in effect. The workaround for this is to copy important programs into memory and pin them there with mlock. It is particularly important that if you rely on a userspace OOM killer it gets locked into memory.

No, it's because their world model stability & consistency, and sensor input integration into the model is shit.

Of course it's not easy. But nobody forced them to release this half-baked steaming pile.

Full visual won't fix the fundamental problem. At best it decreases the cost and energy requirement (but then they'll likely use that for more processing anyway, to try to squeeze more information out of the remaining sensors).
> and that after having made it he immediately resigned

This is an absolute mistake and is a bigger reason that he won't become a GM than his age.

Most chess players should NEVER resign. Ever. I mean it.

1) Chess below grandmaster is a game of mistakes.

It's actually one of the things I hate about chess and why I don't regard it as so much of an intellectual pursuit as people think. You can be playing an amazing game and then suddenly one thing you missed will kill you.

GM Ben Feingold has a great quote (paraphrased): "The reason why you are rated 1900 is that you will play a bunch of moves, finally hang a piece and I will beat you. The reason why I am rated 2400 is that Magnus will play 80 moves that are all slightly better than mine and I will lose."

2) Your opponent has to be able to capitalize on the mistake

If you hang a piece, the opponent cannot disregard the fact that it is a trap. At 1400, it's probably a hung piece. At 1900 it has a 40/60 chance of being a trap. At 2100, it has a 60/40 chance of being a trap.

Your opponent doesn't know you made a mistake so don't tell them. Pull out your poker face and play on. I have won countless games that I should have lost because of this.

3) Playing down a piece actually makes you a stronger player

Okay, you're down a piece. Are you just going to sit there and lose? You might as well try something first. Maybe there's a positional upside, maybe the defense got weakened, etc. Sure, you're normally going to lose. However, being down a piece has a way of knocking you out of your normal play style.

4) Being unable to convert an advantage makes the opponent frustrated

The number of people who get complacent after taking a piece is quite large. Lots of people lose after being up a piece because they let down their guard. And then they lose.

And there is nothing more frustrating than being up a piece and playing someone who is mounting an excellent defense. Your instincts are screaming that you shouldn't be having to put in this much effort and you have to resist them.

5) People play computers so often that they forget that playing a human is a completely different game

People get tired. People get frustrated. People get inattentive. People want to go home already.

All of these things can lead to mistake.

Below Grandmaster, chess victories generally go the person who makes the second to last mistake. You're always the last mistake if you resign.

Never resign.
>I'm not sure why you are so insistent that they should be similar.

I'm not insistent, I'm just asking why it's not possible or practical to swap out a hydrogen tank in a vehicle. I guess that's heretical.

Here's a company that sells tanks. You can use it for welding among other things. There's one in just about every city.

iOS reuses the XNU kernel from macOS, so most of its code is far older than that. And even in 2007, what good options were there for writing kernels? Most of the attempts in memory-safe languages were just toys.
Their competition are the ones who played marketing games already, skipping forward a node relative to pre FinFET scaling. Intel's rename aligns it with the rest of the industry in terms of transistor density on each process number.

None of these numbers have aligned with physical features on the chip for a while, so they are just an arbitrary convention now. It's better for all of the manufacturers to use the same convention.
14->10 was a disaster so we should ignore that, and that the reason Pat Gelsinger is brought back to fixed.

TSMC pioneered the half node step, and it was very successful. So yes, I think copying successful strategy is a conservative approach.
