> My understanding is funds in a bank account were seized and the account closed. Describing the shortfall that followed, while they tried to recover said funds, as fraud, is a tremendous mischaracterization.

They covered up pertinent facts that would seriously question their liquidity and/or solvency.

Let me put it like this: suppose you were selling your house to me for $1 million. If I had $1 million in We Are Criminals Shadow Bank, Ltd., and I've been struggling for weeks to get them to give me any of my money back, how would you feel if I told you that I had $1 million in cash without mentioning any of those details? That's exactly what Tether did.

If you still feel that calling that fraud is a mischaracterization, well, I have a bridge to sell you. I mean, I've been having a bit of trouble with the recorder of deeds over it, but that should get straightened out any day now, so it shouldn't matter, don't worry about it.

I think you read my comment as an invitation to debate dynamic vs. static safety checking. That seems like a deeply uninteresting debate. I'm just saying, there's a clear purpose to `interface{}`, and the same pattern shows up (though obviously much less frequently) in Rust.
I drive a mazda 3. Sometimes I need to move things that don't fit in it. When that happens I rent or borrow a bigger vehicle. What's wrong with using an EV for daily driving and renting a gas vehicle for the rare trips that really need the extra range?

I'm also going to point out that the mileage I saw on my car at the dealer does not match the gas mileage I get in practice. That isn't something that is unique to EVs. After driving their car for a while most people will have a good idea of what their gas mileage is for their usual routes and won't be accidentally running out of gas or charge.
> “We think that we can – we need our own software stack, our own technology,” he added.

They've slept on that for a bit too long IMHO, and now are claiming they are going to scale their software org by thousands of employees in a few years, while already having issues with software in their younger releases. I'll be positively surprised if they pull that off well.
I will continue to think of interface{} as Any in Rust.
JPM? If Jamie getting into it it can’t be too bad, but I looked just now and find this,

“I'm not a bitcoin supporter,” Dimon said during The Wall Street Journal CEO Council summit on Tuesday. “I don't care about bitcoin. I have no interest in it.”

How do descriptions of physical attributes work? Possibly by just giving the candidate's percentile rank by sex?

That would be gender-blind but also ignores the fact that absolute scale actually matters in war sometimes - running speed, ability to lift and load heavy tank shells for a few hours etc.

One might argue that actual physical strength doesn't matter much. One way to check this claim would be to look at recently granted medals for valor, and see how many of them are related to absolute (not relative) physical prowess.
Non-locality is not just a problem of the classic world. There's no notion of it in the quantum mechanics world either. There's nothing in the math that suggests how can particles kilometers away can be connected "outside" space.

And technically if they were, this would be apparent in many more ways than entanglement experiments, and it WOULD violate causality.

General relativity also has no such concept as "simultaneous events" at distance. The very point of the theory is that event simultaneity is a meaningless concept at distance (any distance, but especially at large distance).

So from scale cosmic to scale quantum, "non-local" is a meaningless concept, yet we have to just assume none of this matters and call the wave function collapse non-local, because that's the only way we decided the experiments make sense.

So you're trying to handwave an issue away that's bigger than you admit. It implies space beyond space and time beyond time, where everything in the universe can happen simultaneously for two entangled particles regardless of where and when in that universe they happen to be.

It's such an outrageous concept to introduce in this special case, with zero explanation, and without considering the larger implications it has, it honestly borders on The Avengers techno-babble about time travel in terms of how much sense it makes.
Very successful at producing and selling software for sure. I wouldn't really hold up mid-to-lat 90s MS products as the pinnacle of reliable, well-designed software though.
While electric sports cars and the electric Ford F-150 gets most of the attention, the boring Ford Transit, America's work van, is about to come out in electric.[1]
In a few years, most businesses where all the vans spend the night in the fenced company parking lot will probably be going electric, just to save on fuel cost.

The electric version is still US$7K more than the gasoline version. When that price differential disappears, it's all over for the IC engine.

I had considered that, but the article isn't "Microsoft then and now", but tries to make a comparison of the entirety of the software industry then and now. Microsoft may have done things better (I've heard differing stories), but industry-wide software development doesn't resemble his description.
What you are describing definitely happens, but it is 100% up to the specific game dev implementation. Some games indeed require that weird dance with "launch ps4 game on PS5, launch it, download ps5 version, launch ps5 version, etc."

But plenty of PS4 games that got corresponding PS5 versions don't require that, and getting your PS4 saves on PS5 version of the game is as simple as just launching the PS5 version and continuing from there, without any dances surrounding PS4/PS5 version swapping (assuming you have your PS4 save files either locally or in the cloud).

Which makes me reasonably believe that it isn't an issue inherent to PS5, but to how the specific games implemented that save file import functionality between PS4 and PS5.

Despite that example you used being a bit flawed, I totally agree with the rest of the general points you've made.

Yes, though in a MAC construction, you'd just use HMAC anyways. People still use HMAC with SHA3, even though it's unnecessary, and I don't see anything wrong with that either.
Check out DESMOND and ANTON, that's basically what DE Shaw Research is doing. It does seem like, to get static structure predictions, it's going to be hard for anybody to find anything that does marginally better than AF2 at this point, but since static structure predicitons are just mostly useful for brainstorming, I think ANTON may end up being more useful, in terms of applied science.
Don't @ me! :)
This is true for Java as well, a `HashSet` is just a `HashMap<T, Object>` where the value is:

// Dummy value to associate with an Object in the backing Map
private static final Object PRESENT = new Object();

https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/src/java.base/sha...

A thread-safe implementation is available with `ConcurrentHashMap.newKeySet()`, which uses a similar approach:

public static <K> KeySetView<K,Boolean> newKeySet() {
return new KeySetView<K,Boolean>
(new ConcurrentHashMap<K,Boolean>(), Boolean.TRUE);
}

It's great for crime though. It's like USD cash, except you can transfer it instantaneously across the globe.
I would pay a premium for NOT having all the extra electronics --a computer that controls the computer of the computer, a large TV on the dash, a car that only the dealership can fix because they are the only ones who have the equipment to read the codes, everything by wire...I prefer a car that lets me stranded in the road for something I can usually figure out and repair myself, instead of a car that just stops running and has to be towed directly to the dealership for service.
> Now compare that to the LandCruiser that we haul race cars with… the LC always gets 14 mpg, we have filled it with 6 adults going to Tahoe, same MPG. Haul a 2700lbs sports car. Doesn’t change at all.

This is physically impossible unless the LandCruiser is just throwing energy away when empty.

What's more likely is that this estimate is not very precise.
Very few forensic techniques are conclusive for a case. They are usually conclusive as in the test was either positive or negative. Then the forensic expert has to give testimony as to what it means. Just look at the medical experts in the Chauvin trial. It's just like many news articles today - the facts don't lie, but people can misapply them to say different things.
Good for you! I'm jelly and wish I had more time.
yeah, sadly there are some dirty things going on when it comes to Norms. I guess with a better leadership and a clear policy of not tolerating pre-arranged games, this should change. But as with doping, it will never be erased 100%.
It doesn't matter if there was only one case of violence or radicalization on the left. You should try to stop all violence and radicalization or none. Specifically targeting only one side is political.

If there is, in fact, only a minimal amount on the left then the additional work would be minimal. There would be no reason to not include the left in this targeting.

As a frontend engineer who started 15 years ago, learning the box model required a lot of knowledge of the internals of the browser. The times of having to know things like quirks mode, abusing overflow hidden [1], how to break the behavior of float, etc are long gone. This is great both for us having to struggle less, and for the newer generations to be able to tackle harder problems than just layout and build cooler stuff.

Imtech? It was their German branch. Regardless, at least they could rely on Siemens and Bosch to nail the fire system, PG BBI to do the planning, and GMP for the architecture.
I think things like ‘People’ are more like attempts to integrate PIM services into the operating system. Just like Apple has Contacts, Calendar and Mail, Windows got People, the built in calendar and the built in mail app.

Perhaps the people bar is useless but it is pretty useful if applications can count on the system providing a list of contacts to use, just like some apps would benefit from scheduling and presence.

I wouldn’t want to spend a lot of money on half assedly integrating with this kind of service though because you can be assured Microsoft will have some important special features available for its own apps you’re not going to get.
Can we change the title to:

BeOS (Haiku's emulant) and QNX were close cousins and competitors at that time, both staking out territory in the high-performance RTOS space. IIRC QNX offered hard realtime guarantees that BeOS did not, but was more limited in what it supported. I gather it was more successful in scaling down to embedded devices, too; BeIA pulled a number of tricks to get its image sizes down, but was still targeting pretty fully-featured multimedia-capable devices.
It's kind of interesting how many different takes there are on the simple concept of marking metal to store a key. Some of them are quite creative, but it's hard to outperform a simple hole punch or letter stamps.
This only works for people in cities. IMO the pandemic proved that pressuring people into moving to cities isn’t a great idea either — a more distributed system is a good thing for a variety of reasons. We can have both EVs and improved public transit anyways.
I'm sure everyone who bought bitcoin at >$50,000 would have something to say about whether its utility as a "store of value" has been proven in the marketplace.
Maybe archive.org should run a subscription service where for a few bucks a month, you can request your page visits be archived (in a timely manner and with some level of assurance) and leverage their system for tracking content over time. That, in conjunction with something like Google, might actually give fairly good assurance that what you're searching for actually exists in a state like you saw it, while also leveraging that 30 people accessing this blog today that use the service don't use significantly more resources to store the data, and also helps archive.org fulfill its mission.

Sure, but that means any estimate on clean/dirty energy usage is harder to make now.
My experience, and that of my colleagues, has been the opposite, and I'm a walking mess of a man when not at work. I have made very high quality friendships with Japanese people and the average Joe isn't any more racist than people in the US, I'd dare say they are a lot less racist than people was in Spain. They dislike illegal immigrants like most countries do, and tourists that think Japan is like an anime and they can go around groping waitresses or making a spectacle in the middle of busy crossroads. Anything else you can think of is nothing the general populace partakes into, blame who you need to blame. It's like saying every Chinese person is in line with the CPP's interests, that's nonsense.

I never understood why Japan of all places is so demonized online. It's far, FAR from a perfect country, but most people just do their non-outrageous, boring life things. There are no used panties vending machines littering the streets, not everyone is obsessed with cute things, there are no child wives everywhere and there are no game shows where guys fuck their female relatives. With every other country there are at least people calling this stuff out, but when it's Japan everyone just accepts the fabricated or misunderstood article at face value and goes "oh Japan you are so wacky/xenophobic" or even "Two nukes weren't enough" (I swear this comes up more often than it's comfortable, I'm not making this up).

If anything I get the impression that people is very racist against Japan.
Apply! We have plenty of job openings. Physics and electrical engineering backgrounds are critical for some teams, but for other teams it's not as important.

This is a wonderful time to be a younger person in the industry; there are tons of job opportunities and every hiring manager is hungry for talented, dedicated people.

That said, we do tend to be hiring for more senior roles, considering the small size of the company. If your goal is to land in QC eventually, make sure to have a really broad skill set, get some experience working on hard projects, and apply every year or so until you find a role in the field. No matter which firm you end up at, it's an exciting industry where you can feel like you're actually helping with a grand human effort to push the state of the art.
Journalism without a filter isn't journalism, it's surveillance.

a critical part of journalism is choosing what not to cover. people pay attention to the things it's easy to pay attention to, and good journalism makes sure that the news that is front-and-center and easiest for people to find is actually news. not every crime scene is newsworthy, most are incredibly personal and sensitive moments for at least one party involved, and the coverage should take that into account. pointing a livestreaming camera at the victim of every assualt or robbery is not providing any benefit to society.
There isn’t a separate “messages” from anything else, that’s an illusion Apple marketing encourages. iOS is a shared-tenancy, general-purpose operating system. A vulnerability in any of the core libraries can affect any of the apps (first party or otherwise) and a hostile or compromised application (first party or otherwise) can compromise the entirety of the device and its data.

Whether something is a Messages vulnerability or “something obscure” is just marketing spin.
>Hybrids were a mediocre half-measure

That is not true. Hybrids can be greener than an full EV.
To make EVs palatable, automakers realized they need to use huge batteries with 400+ miles of range.
But the average daily commute is much much less than that.

The result of which is that you waste a lot of money and CO2 emissions to produce a battery that is 3x too big.

A hybrid with a range extender and 1/3 of the battery, can better accommodate the needs of daily commuters while actually being cleaner than an EV since the CO2 emissions from EV manufacturing is almost entirely due to the battery and it takes years (two to three depending on your commute) to offset those emission even against a new ICE car.
The threat of a lawsuit is not a lawsuit, it is instead a demand letter that will state that if you do not pay, you will be sued. It will not say in sued in small claims, it just says you will be sued.

So you would not get served to appear at a small claims court office, you will instead get a very scary letter on a law office's letter head, and you will pay the money.
Honestly, I feel like Apple should just throw away Unix compliance at this point. The average Mac is less POSIX-derived than most unlicensed Linux distros (or BSD derivatives, for that matter), and it only serves to further ostracize people like me, who just want to develop and not wait on my computer. Most Mac owners I know wouldn't care at this point, since they're either completely used to this kind of treatment or quit programming altogether.

Super techniques for driving traffic to your website
I went to college with Bilal and remember him as a smart guy.

Very cool to see that you have developed this expertise and the grit to execute on it for so many ideas, Bilal!
Yes, there needs to be support for ICE vehicles in certain areas for quite some time to come. Until EV technology can support those that rely on gasoline or diesel powered cars in remote places.

Once the fossil fuel infrastructure starts to lose mainstream use, folks that require larger range, better cold weather reliability, etc. will pay through the nose to be able to move freely using their existing cars.

It will be a slow transition until it's not, and then you have a bunch of useless piles of steel, glass, and rubber lying around.

I wonder how they will handle emergency and military vehicles in the future. For any of them to use it it has to just work, and work quickly.
And closed as "opinion-based."
That is IF the charger is available when you want it and you don't need to wait 15-30 minutes for the car that's ahead of you to charge. Maybe rare now, but unless chargers keep building out at or greater than the pace of EV sales, it will become a bottleneck. It happens now with gas stations at busy interchanges, but generally a car can fill up and move in < 5 minutes.
It's brand new unlike the Chevy bolt and most of the not so great EVs though.

It's so bad that for example it doesn't come with the standard European fast charging socket in Europe, and the car has a fuel gauge with a fuel station symbol to show the battery state of charge.
tokenizers
A decentralized marketplace is more akin to what you would see in ancient bazaars of Mesopotamia.

It will allow vendors to collect more money for their service while at the same time allowing customers to pay less for the same service.

This is because a decentralized service does not need a thousand people and billions of dollars of VC funding to run (take Uber for instance).

Instead there will be the smart contract (which will require funding so there will be a very small fee per transaction), the governance body (which is going to be like the shareholder system of the stock market so token holders), and the vendors themselves.

Multiple layers of waste will be cut (middle management, needing an actual corporation to provide a service) and it's a more natural way of doing business. It's a pretty radical shift from the way we're doing things now and the wheels are in motion which is why so many people are excited.
Your question has no answer. Different people have different aptitudes and desires and time to devote. There's no rating above which everyone should feel proud and below which everyone should feel ashamed. People should play chess for fun and if they want to set targets, it's likely most fun to set them on a personalized basis, a bit above wherever they are now. Hobbies are supposed to be fun. Each person should do what they judge is fun. :)
Hm, I think the magnitude in the z direction would scale with the magnitude in the x direction or the y direction, rather than with the area (x*y), right?

A charging station costs an order of magnitude less than a petrol station

Why would cities need to pay a dime for charging infrastructure? There are commercial vendors doing just fine.

Which do you think is the hardest to get a permit for? 1) underground tank for thousands of gallons of explosive liquid that's bad for the environment if it leaks 2) overground tank of pressurised explosive gas known for its ability to leak out of every container 3) a big-ass electric socket

As for labor, you need an electrician with a high voltage certificate. Not a exactly rare, hard to train, commodity. Maybe a dude with a backhoe to dig the wires.

Local transformer capacity is highly variable, some areas might have issues, others might not. A charging station can bring stability to unstable networks if paired with a battery bank to offset the load. (And maybe even make $$ by charging it during low load and feed back during peak hours).
So they are going to complain about some pigs digging in the dirt with their noses, but not even talk about the millions of square acres of dirt that are getting tilled and turned over by tractors every growing season?

This is sensationalist and misleading.
