Just a bit more context that might explain why Haas might be the unhappy ones currently. There's a lot of capital-D Drama surrounding the team right now but I'll stick to these two facts:

- Due to financial reasons they had to let go their veteran drivers (just two in F1) from last season and are currently featuring an all-rookie line up.

- They've gone on record to say that they are not developing the 2021 car, instead focusing on the specs change for 2022.

So two rookies in a team that is basically just in the competition for the participation. At least one driver from Williams, the bottom feeders a season or two ago, have the chutzpah to aim for points finish this year. Haas can't be a fulfilling team to be in right now.
AWS is the magic that allows Amazon to scale its operations. I wouldn't be surprised if the Retail business was getting discounted (possibly free) rates for AWS products.

If the US was serious about antitrust, breaking AWS from Retail would probably be the best thing it could do.
Blue Origin isn't that expensive, at least by nation state standards. Its just if there's no political will for a space program then there will be no space program. Space is a money blackhole for the most part so there's no big incentive to start one especially when governments are busy, ideally, fighting poverty, enforcing law, regulating capitalism, and protecting workers. The USA didn't have its own human rated launch vehicle for years and it wasn't a big deal. Space isn't a compelling target for good reasons and the midcentury space-race was little more than showing off ICBM capabilities between two nations who wanted to murder each other.

I'm glad we've moved to a peaceful and private-public model with BO and SpaceX but its not like every country is failing everyday at getting rockets off the ground. They just don't care that much and know they can buy rocket rides from other nations, the same as buying medicine or arms from them. It just makes a lot more sense to buy space-related services from others than start your own for almost all nations.
My experience is yarn is safer in terms of locking as well, I had a lot of subpackage versions suddenly changing with npm causing CI tests to fail whereas with yarn it's very rare.
>"So aside from just stop buying from Amazon, what can we do?"

Lower the barriers to entry for business. It is not easy to comply with regulations and reporting.

A scrappy startup can replace Amazon if they can focus on things that are not burdensome and arbitrary, like rent + insurance + tax reporting + legal.
> I'm not really worried about my physical safety

You should.

> there's no way this can devolve into a full on war

Ghannouchi might be bluffing but no one really knows for sure. This can devolve into a full on war, although it'll unlikely touch the coastal cities.

> I just need to protect my online privacy

You don't really need to do much unless you are looking to do full-on work on activist journalism. Dictatorships only target the most famous or those who make a lot of noise. It's very hard to follow everyone, and Tunisia kind of lacks in the tech department.

Most Embassies have re-opened. It is harder, granted; and if you are young it is hard to get the vaccine.
Presumably antimatter would be your energy source, but not your propellant. The gamma rays from a small number of annihilations would heat up a much larger amount of normal matter.

At least for the first generation, you likely also wouldn't be using antimatter as the main source of energy, but rather as a method of initiating some other reaction. For example where in a conventional fission reaction you get a relatively clean split of a nucleus into two halves plus a few extra neutrons to drive a chain reaction, an antiproton will blast apart such a nucleus like a billiard break, allowing fission reactions with much less than a conventional critical mass. A quick burst of positrons hitting the surface of some lithium deuteride would be able to replace a fission primary and make a pure-fusion explosion. Either of these options could be used as either incredibly low-mass nukes for an orion drive or as a light weight reactor for a more conventional nuclear propulsion method. While about 600 times less energy dense than pure antimatter, you're still talking 10 million times better energy density than our best current rocket fuels, while using several orders of magnitude less antimatter.

The sophons don't seem to be able to do anything much beyond bother particle accelerators. The later droplet probes _are_ very nasty, but it's at least implied that those weren't even available at the time they set out.
Why do you accuse them of suppressing wages when they lead the way to $15/hr, and when they literally spend money lobbying congress to raise the federal minimum wage?

Eh, all the relationships and characters in The Office are far richer and more complex than Office Space, and experience real growth and change over the series. Honestly, I view it as one of the best comedic series ever produced. I only caught up and finished the second half of it a year or so ago, so it's still fresh in my mind.
Echoing all current replies, plus another thing not mentioned:

yarn.lock is _at least_ 15x smaller than an NPM lockfile. You want this committed into your repo, and I'd rather have ~200kb than 5mb.

So that's:

- Speed

- Artifact size

- Caching

- Proxy support

- Determinism (which has improved with NPM)
I don't understand the outrage - perhaps this is just poorly worded, and they mean you can't sign in after resetting or signing out?
Tbh I don't think it's a problem with Visual Studio on Mac.

Still doesn't make sense. Why limit our tech when they ultimately want to just eliminate us all together?

Drop a super virus on us or irradiate the whole planet. Any species capable of disrupting our particle accelerators is more than capable of wiping us from existence.
One of the biggest things holding me back from transitioning my open source projects over to Yarn and PnP is Dependabot support. I'd even settle for support with the `node-modules` plugin at this point, but GitHub is of the opinion that there isn't much community usage of yarn v2 to warrant the additional development required to support yarn v2+.

I'm really glad for all the forward thinking projects like yarn and pnpm are bringing to the node package management space, and I'm also glad to see that npm is listening and taking those advancements into consideration. I'm currently exploring using npm v7's workspaces feature, which was something I originally wanted to use yarn for.

I heard something similar for management. In an org chart ICs and very top executives are the happiest. Middle management tend to be the most miserable.
Maybe CEOs get paid too much for the value they bring? If my company’s head said this, it would be an indication to leave because clearly they don’t value what you bring to the table.
Just to play devil's advocate, the argument here is that programming is largely commoditized nowadays. A given programmer might build a thing that makes the company $10M, but if there are 1000 other people who could also build that thing then really the value isn't so much in the building of that thing, but in the company structure providing the opportunity to build that thing that has a value of $10M.

I think this might be a more interesting argument to engage with than the one people seem to be responding to in this thread.
I think it depends on the quality of the question.

For instance, if it's a semi-vague question just pointing in the direction of a solution, then I think it's fair to question the motivation of the poster.

But if it's a very precise question about how to accomplish something specific, I think the burden should be on the person answering to add the clause: "you can do X, but its generally not considered a good idea because Y".

Honestly if you can't answer the original question, I get the impression you're just trying to be a smarty-pants and show off some domain knowledge you have which is related to the task at hand.
> It's a cool idea, but you have to keep in mind that binary searches are not optimal for b-tree nodes unless the node is really big. If you have a smaller node, < 32 or 64 elements, a simple linear search is faster. The reason has something to do with processor cache, branch mis-prediction, and pipelining.

I've heard that—and iirc Rust's BTreeMap type uses linear search—but does this depend on the type of key? Easy for me to see how that might be true for a BTreeMap<u64, V> but not a BTreeMap<String, V>. In the latter case, there's a pointer to chase for each comparison (and more/variable data to process; SIMD over multiple keys doesn't seem likely).

Protons that could cause controlled visual hallucinations in people. If they can cause that level of interference with our nervous system, they can kill us. Even if they were somehow limited to visual hallucinations, a well timed hallucination is easily lethal. They probably ought to be able to hack into computer systems with that as well.
I don't get this ... Why is it the broker's responsibility to make sure the publishers are not duplicating ? Rather than fixing the code and fix the root cause ?

With this feature, the producer still needs to implement a strictly increasing sequence value, make sure its state is persisted, and use that as the publishing ID.

What if you need to restore your DB after a crash, and need to reprocess data to catch up ? If you stored your publishing ID sequence in that DB, your "smart" broker will happily drop these messages ... !?

Unless there's something I don't understand, that sounds like a really bad "good idea".

The Pentium Pro and eventually the AMD64 chips equalled or bested the workstations on many tasks by the end of the 90's and early 2000s. But the Itanium processor distracted them from even competing. SGI for example had at least one high-end MIPS processor under development (iirc "the beast") and they stopped the project and later were trying to ship Itanium servers. HP threw the towel in and joined forces with Intel.

Here is an article from 1999 on Sun booting SunOS on Itanium:

https://www.zdnet.com/article/sun-boots-solaris-on-itanium-h...

Compaq stopped making Alpha servers and switched to Itanium:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEC_Alpha

Itanium was a huge misdirection and distraction for everyone in the workstation business and basically put them in such a bad spot they failed to even compete with Intel x86 past 2000 or so in any real way.
> I'm asking for the calculations used to come to that 2.5x number.

If you want to understand the data and methodology behind that particular number, you should go read the paper. That's how this works. I've given you more than enough information to find it.

> Please don't resort to personal attacks.

I am simply calling a spade a spade. I spent far too much time here responding to your comments in good faith, when it is now clear that you will misrepresent my statements at every possible opportunity while consistently contributing nothing to the discussion yourself.

If you feel that there was more value to be extracted from this discussion, I recommend that you take these "personal attacks" as constructive criticism.
You can be pissed off, but make sure you're pissed off at your employer for not paying you more rather than fellow engineers for earning more.

I know for sure that Google doesn't do it and I think many of your other examples doesn't either. Some teams at Google might do it, but it isn't the norm and I didn't see any that did. Many teams do daily stand-ups, but that is about it and even stand-ups aren't that common. There are no sprints etc and I don't think I ever saw the word scrum in any message boards there even.

The quote you cited says "no evidence the saliency model explicitly encodes male gaze" emphasis mine. Your re-phrasing however changes the meaning in your question, "historical biases not inherent in the model".

Explicitly encodes != inherent in. The difference between the two might answer your question. You can solve for something that is inherent in a system (ie, this), but was not explicitly encoded. They are trying to say it isn't their fault specifically, they find no evidence this was done on purpose or in a targeted way, but that it happens as an accident / lack of testing on the current model.
Indeed. I was saying that a "debt fix" release quite often turns into a rewrite, no matter what the original justification was.
The 'fan fiction' was written, and published before the court case, and hence before the anonymity order. As it was, I wasn't able to figure out any encoded messages at the time.

Now one could argue that it was inadvisable to leave it up after the order, but that is a different matter.
In that case you should also consider all vendors/suppliers who manufacture and ship for amazon either exclusively or >50% . That number would be lot larger than engineers on AWS.

Amazon's scale and reach is frighteningly massive.
I don't watch a ton of current kids shows, but the little I've seen still look pretty weird. It's a different weird but that's more just due to general trends.

I've written code that I knew could be better when I wrote it. "Better" can mean a number of things. More readable, more efficient, more self contained, lower cyclomatic complexity (whatever TF that means).

I never intended to put shame on tech debt. It's usually a now vs later (or never) tradeoff.
And that padding is in addition to a sidebar that occupies 40% of page width.
The pattern I see is one of constant refinement as technology and prior knowledge allows for more effective experimentation, greater observations, and physical models which increase in accuracy over time, despite still being incomplete. General and special relativity are the most thoroughly tested and confirmed models ever to have existed to date [0,1].

And while it is currently not possible to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity, quantum mechanics was reconciled with special relativity by Dirac in 1928, and the light speed limit on the transmission of information remains. And there are no observations which suggest a flaw in current models akin to redshift or the orbit of Mercury which suggest the light speed limit is incorrect, rather, experiment has always validated it[2]. We now know that even the speed of gravity itself is limited to the speed of light[3].

It seems as if you're confident that any day now we'll discover that relativity was just as wrong as alchemy and phlogiston all along, and that there's some simple and elegant truth everyone missed that somehow both describes the universe more accurately than current models and also just happens to allow for arbitrary FTL communication and travel. We'll have to agree to disagree.

> Covering your tracks when committing a crime

That's if you believe it to be a crime. The law isn't always right. Communication is an unalienable right. The flow of information is not something that should be regulated.

Giving unreasonably low wages should be the crime, not conspiring.
Tbf, from the way they were described it should have been fairly easy to defeat the Sophons even without any science-fiction technology; just build e.g. 10-20 particle accelerators distributed over the world and take measurements close enough in time to each other that you cannot be at multiple sites without exceeding the speed of light. Then at most 3 of them could be corrupted for any given run, and these can be thrown out as statistical noise.
You're assuming that value is measured only in dollars. But surely, someone who is more interested in solving mechanical engineering problems than programming would be happier with a mechanical engineering job than a programming job, even if the salary is lower.

You're assuming that the degree has anything to do with the work. The vast majority of things I've been paid to do in the course of my life have had little to do with the subjects of my degrees. That said, because I have a bachelor's in English and master's in Math Education and Fiction Writing (two separate degrees, not one weird interdisciplinary one), there are fields that I cannot hope to break into. No one will hire me to be their chemist or auto mechanic with my credentials. Programming is probably the easiest field for someone with no paper credentials to get into out of all the highly paid careers.

As I understand it, a CEO would generally be a public figure within the scope of what he does as a CEO. Note, though, that in the US, most of what being a public figure affects is the standard for libel (NYT v. Sullivan). Even if you're not a public figure, there's mostly nothing preventing me from writing about you if I want to and truth is pretty much a defense against libel.
In that case you need to look harder, our outside your current area. I'm from Jersey, $200k salary should give you lots of options especially in central or south Jersey.
You can't learn it all. Some things are better left to professionals. I once had a leaking bathtub. I watched some youtube videos and was able to fix the problem (replacing a gasket). However, one time my HVAC stopped working in the middle of winter and I wouldn't know what to do there. Had to call in pros. few days ago, I had a yellow jacket nest in one of the ceilings (yep!!). I wouldn't want to fix that myself.
That’s a fair point. I see them as suppressing wages because they open warehouses in small towns, pay $15/hr and then work the person to death so they become dependent on that job. Amazon can totally dominate an area’s workforce and use that to drive wages and benefits down.
Is this level of concentration a totally new phenomenon? In the 1970s GM employed almost 700k people, and the US population like 30% lower. Is it just different companies every generation?
> So aside from “just stop buying from Amazon” what can we do ?

The "just stop buying amazon" arguments never made sense to me in the first place, because most people who use it are the ones budget-stretched in the first place. A lot of rural communities have no other viable options for some items as well.

It will take massive government action and that's it. There's no other way we can fix this problem. Wages are suppressed because it's _legal enough_ to suppress them. Labor fines basically become a cost of doing business.

After the union busting that went on during the Alabama Amazon unionization votes, after all of these labor complaints against Amazon coming under media attention and not a single thing being done about it, it's clear that there is truly nothing that will stop it except a general strike.

Well I also used to make giant controllers when I was a beginner. That’s why you can pretty much “spaghetti with any pattern”.

Over time I realized that I can just create dedicated controllers or handlers or managers or services with more specific and limited functionality, and then my VCs simply dispatch to those. It’s called composition.
They want to develop a fuller understanding of what kinds of biases they need to be aware of. "Caught out with bias" isn't a good way to understand the situation - this isn't the kind of problem that can be solved by just debugging to find the biased functions and using unbiased ones instead.
Well the Imitation Game also erased the work of Polish codebreakers, falsely made it so Turing knew Cairncross was a Soviet spy when in real life they probably never even met, and made Denniston into a villain who wanted to destroy Turing's life work when in real life they had a good relationship, made Turing seem like he had Autism, and made up a plot about Clarke getting recruited by being good at crossword puzzles when in reality she got the job from by having excellent references. So I would say there is plenty to criticize at how it misrepresented people.
