That's more of a failure of management. Companies like Google outline style guides for company-wide usage. It might not be "the best" but it's consistent and the company enforces that.

Now is a horrible time to rent a car since there is an industry wide shortage.
More reason to keep up my personal boycott of Samsung, though I will say, this could probably just as easily happen to any of our newer phones - especially with an ever expanding market of sketchy cables, power packs, and even cases - which I presume could cause some slight heat dissipation issues, as well as keep a compromised battery that may otherwise start to bulge out of the phone as a failure mechanism too constricted to do so.
Im not questioning your intellect, but each database has its own use case for usage. You might be expecting wrong things from Mongo or cassandra.
Using gazillion databases for wrong use cases doesnt mean nothing.
From your child comment, you cooked up an in house solution, it may be best suited for you. But for others it would be horrible too.
If Cassandra is suited for Facebook, I think the problem is with you making a choice to use it for something its not suited for rather than the database itself.
"Thank you, science" is not a good marketing line. Because science is not good or bad -- it depends on what it's used for. A lot of terrible companies could say the same thing.

"Thank you, science -- Facebook" has a completely different ring to it.

Domain Driven Design: https://martinfowler.com/bliki/DomainDrivenDesign.html
Is your contention with a particular design trend or do you dislike anything with a serious subject being animated at all? There have been several styles of anime throughout the decades. Ghost in the Shell (1995) and Berserk (1997) have a "grittier" and more somber style that might better compare with the noir elements of Sin City.

For every example you can find where state created something there are countless examples where the private sector created something else if not better, eg. cars, electric grid, gas/oil drilling, penicillin and pharmaceutical industry. And no China is not a good example of a state run country, for all practical purposes it's a capitalistic country except when it comes to societal issues. Soviet Union is what I think you had in mind but I guess that example stopped being so "glaring" when communism brought its demise.
How about serving taliban officials? Known slumlords, a notorious rapist, or how about someone like Epstein? Waiters and staff refuse service to people for moral and political reasons all the time, and good management backs their employees. The reputational cost from firing someone who had a plausibly good reason to refuse service keeps employers in line.

Google is too big to fail, and can survive almost any negative impact that comes from firing employees for activism or even mere discussion. There is almost no comparable social or legal leverage shielding employees of massive corporations from being fired for deviating from completely neutral droneship.
Good writeup!

One nit: ‘jq -r’ seems like more fundamental than a sidenote, especially considering it’s a cli tool. That could just be how I use it though (as glue between json and bash).

Another good tool in that family is ‘jtbl’. It provides table output, which is useful for cut, awk, sed and column.
As I understand it, US carriers already turned off 2G and are turning 3G off real soon now. If your phone doesn't do VoLTE and wants to do a voice call, that won't work when 3G is turned off.
No, the focus was exactly where Apple wanted it to be. Talking a lot about 'tradeoffs' when the real issue was Apple cheating its own customers - Apple denied the throttling, so people would buy a new iPhone instead of a cheap battery replacement.
Exactly. If a company got money for hurting someone, then we need to have a conversation. If a company gets money for helping someone, my response would range anywhere from "Good for them!" to "What's for lunch?" at worst.
I had few phone which can run off the charger without battery.

The power spike issues is easily solved with some judiciously placed capacitors.

But the overall issue of Pphone > Pdc longer than few millisecons can only be solved by shipping more poweful power supply.
A family member has a Samsung “smart” tv that isn’t connected to the internet. It was hideously expensive, one of their high end TVs. It takes about 5 minutes to get from standby to being able to watch something (TV or via HDMI) when it’s working well. It also bugs out constantly with random pop ups with nonsense errors that can’t be dismissed (have to restart), the EPG doesn’t work because setting the date and time doesn’t work (saves random info when you manually enter it; it is often reset to jan 1970 on boot), it frequently freezes on boot and I’ve had to reflash it afterwards several times, and frequently it just won’t allow you to use the TV function at all. All of this is only getting worse and worse.

Sample size = 1/anecdatally this is why I get frustrated at suggestions to simply not connect “smart” TVs to the internet. Internet or not, the software on these things is an absolute nightmare, even if you update them (via USB). It’s unfortunate that it’s either prohibitively expensive or mostly impossible to find non “smart” TVs.

I lucked out and found a 50” 4K TV that has exactly zero “smart” features from some shitty brand for like $600, and it looks fantastic to me, but I am not picky about TV tech like some people are. If it breaks I’ll probably spring for a commercial display or a really big monitor.
That's the intent, and it's still in the latest HDMI spec, so I think those threads about HEC being dead were premature. I haven't used it myself.
I’m pretty sure once self driving cars are really a thing for all consumers, it will coincide with the move over to EVs en masse (2030?).

The only reason no one finds automated plug-in charging necessary right now is simply because those cars don’t really need it yet.
Are there a lot of people who have experienced tesla's self-driving?

As I understand it, if you pay for FSD, you don't actually get anything like self-driving, you just get lane-changes on the highway in addition to the lane-keeping. Effectively, you get lane-keeping, which you have if you don't pay too.

All the videos of "FSD driving" are from a small number of beta-testers, and there's no way to opt into the beta.

Because of that, my assumption would be very few people on here have experienced tesla's self-driving. It's only open to a small number of beta testers, whether you have purchased it or not.

On the other hand, waymo is available for the general public to use, though only in specific geographic areas.

How is it wrong now? Right now, the issue is clearly explained and can be disabled.
Of course it does, because “popular” in the original example was referring to their ubiquity and lack of over viable alternatives. An example of a once-dominant product that appears to be losing in the market to a fast-rising new alternative is not analogous.

stones need 10-15 minutes between bakes to regain their heat. steel is better but takes a different kind of bake to not burn the bottom. high temp ovens offer a good balance between them but need a lot of care to not burn and be cooked through

i use all 3 and it’s nice to have options. my most common is a basic stone in the oven
Maybe for virtual items but how would physical items work? The baker has the same issue as you and the flower costs Euros even though the baker might except crypto.

I can figure some complex ways but somewhere, because there are not enough people using crypto, it will get exchanged and there you will be caught. In this scenario you are actually doing something illegal; spending money you did not declare to the gov for KYC/AML, so you can still be traced via the baker who exchanged your payment to euros. And if you used Monero or whatever, you are now an actual criminal trying to hide their tracks.

There would need to be a very large crowd accepting crypto for the crypto sake, not for the USD value to get anywhere here. Which is the dream of all the fans but this is not even close where crypto is currently and most govs are taking steps to prevent it getting there.
"Average" is the key word in that sentence though.
This is such an uncharitable interpretation of the training materials. The material there is not saying "if you want to speak about things that raise antitrust concerns, use this coded language", it's saying "don't do these things, and just focus on building a good product".

Like, the thing here that really boggles my mind: if the training materials had said literally the exact opposite of what they do: "crush the competition, find ways to prevent competitors from competing fairly with us" etc. — someone like the author would write an article vilifying them. (And rightly so.) So the company instead says "focus on our product; competition is good and okay" and … they're vilified for it. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

By this article's twisted logic, any company focused on their product is just engaging in newspeak for thinly veiled anti-competitive behavior. Or is it just if Google does it?

(It kills me to argue this, since I think normally these threads/articles spawn good debate about the size and scope of FAANG. But… this one is ridiculous.)
Thank you for your genuine concern. I am in exceptional health metabolically & hormonally. I don’t think the CCP virus will do much harm to me, and would rather get natural immunity than risk the side effects of the mRNA vaccines. To each their own. I hope your wife gets well soon. I am surprised that the Ivermectin didn’t cut the symptoms dramatically, based on what doctors I follow have been saying.

In the context of databases the terms “relational,” “schema,” and “normalized” have specific meanings. Relational databases have specific properties and guarantees that have nothing to do with SQL. Mongo doesn’t get “more relational” by supporting joins any more than Postgres gets less relational supporting JSON types.
I love these - I use jq daily and am always happy to read about it from another angle.

The author probably has internalized more of the manual than they realize, and maybe improved at least one explanation; FTA:

> map(...) let’s you unwrap an array, apply a filter and then rewrap the results back into an array. You can think of it as a shorthand for [ .[] | ... ] and it comes up quite a bit in my experience, so it’s worth it committing to memory.

From https://stedolan.github.io/jq/manual/#map(x),map_values(x) :

> map(x) is equivalent to [.[] | x]. In fact, this is how it's defined. Similarly, map_values(x) is defined as .[] |= x.

Businesses are getting desperate to levy fees and penalties. But guessing PayPal's intelligence has a solid reason to ask for it.
But in the "real world" wouldn't any such time difference be very small and fluctuations in network delay and measurement error so large in comparison that this isn't typically exploitable?

Sure, better be safe and use a safe comparison method and that's simple enough, but still, how realistic is such an attack over the public internet?

I'm aware of "practical" results:

But the experiment setup was on a LAN, with AFAICT a single server, no other traffic to that server, and other such conditions.
Stellar UX are always welcomed, But the network effects of a chat application are too high of a variable for to just rely on stellar UX to be successful.

Case in point: There was a chat app called Hike[1] in India run by the son of the leading Telecom Billionaire. It had more features(free SMS, Stickers) and arguably better UX than WhatsApp according to its users(100M). But it could never gain over WhatsApp's initial market size in India(Why change what works?).

Final nail on the coffin for Hike was when WhatsApp was made available on the 4G feature phone released by a competing Telecom operator and loads of people got to experience WhatsApp on their first ever Internet enabled compute device.

For what it's worth, the blog has a pretty similar tone even when writing about less politically-fraught topics; it's usually focused on fraud in the life science literature.
Honestly, I don't understand the selling point of CalyxOS over LineageOS. Can you explain the differences? The website just seems to be a little mumble about Privacy without explaining the technological differences.

As a daily driver, I'd recommend a setup of an official LineageOS device, combined with a set of Apps to increase the level of privacy:

- AppWarden to check for trackers and loggers

- RethinkDNS as a VPN firewall and adblocker

- Privay Browser (f-droid build)

- Permission Manager X to remove permissions from Apps via AppOps

- OsmAnd for Navigation

- Oeffi for Public Transport Navigation (in Germany)

- Element or Telegram FOSS for chat, because Signal still requires microG or other Google Services for their auto backup, which I don't agree with.

I would also recommend to bet on LineageOS because the community is vast, and it's more likely to survive (given the past with Cyanogen and its company) than other forks that are maintained by 1-3 people.

Personally, I hope that phosh and plasma mobile can be feasible app alternatives and I hope that Purism and the Pine movement can change the ecosystem.

But, as of now, developing a GTK4 or QT5 app (compared to making an Android app) is still PITA and seriously lacks better development tools and IDEs.
What else are people going to buy then?
You might know this, but feeding arrays to '|@tsv' will provide output ready to pipe to these as well.
At least on Android, turning off or restarting your phone will work as well. Because you must enter your pin or password upon first starting up rather than use biometrics. At least, that seems to be the default. It may be a setting somewhere to turn that off.

This. I don't even use my pizza stone anymore. Cast iron all the way. Preheat the pan, build the pizza in the pan on the stove top (about one minute), get it under the broiler 2-2.5 minutes) and enjoy a great pizza in about 3.5 minutes.

If you have two pans you can start making the second when the first has about a minute left - then the can finish a pie every 2.5 minutes!

Notably, your 2nd paper puts the cost of a traditional taxi at $3.50 per mile. At the low end of the autonomous price range, it is still a half price taxi.

For the autonomous taxi calculation they also include a 250k medallion plus interest paid off over 5 years, but don't include this for regular taxis. They also include a 200K/year to supervise the auto taxi for the high end ($6/mile).

With all that said, Auto taxis are unlikely to be a cost effective replacement to owning a car for distance commuters. Even with lower costs than traditional taxis, taxis are horribly cost ineffective way to get to work and back for any significant distances.
Don't all these transactions show up in the books, or it's just not a problem?

The Lancet does this all the time. To add a few more examples to the sibling comments: The fraudulent HCQ paper*, the absurd Iraq war casualty calculation.

The issue is that power savings stuff is often bad on Linux... especially on older hardware. 'Idle' in this context means running with near zero load since a server cannot suspend or hibernate. In theory you could setup hibernate/suspend + WoL but that tends to not work well.

Some power saving features will really only save 5-10W and can make PCIe cards unstable, poor hard drive performance, laggy keyboard & mouse, etc.

In particuler, GPUs often have poor suport for the normal power saving features. I just pulled the dedicated GPU (GTX 760) out of my old machine that is now a headless server and that saved ~20W. What's weird and bad is that that 20W was being consumed without a graphical interface even running.
I’m not sure you understand normalization. A consistent schema is the product of proper normalization, not the other way around.

Normalization is a logical process, part of database design. It’s not a by-product of a schema or design pattern, nor is it an implementation detail.

OO is ultimately based on pointers, even when hidden as inheritance, or called something else (references, composition). That form of organizing data is not relational pretty much by definition. You can’t” just do that [normalization] with OO patterns.” I’m not even sure what that means.
You're... you're going to read a ~30k word essay on pizzas, on your phone?

That itself seems impossible on mobile, regardless of whether you scroll or swipe or whatever.
You'd need a lot of satellites capable of very high resolution imagery. And even then it wouldn't be exactly the same. There are plans for 5G to go over 50GHz. That would give you a very high resolution! I mean, these EHF frequencies are also what's used in 'millimeter wave scanners' (full body scanners). You could theoretically sense through clothing. It's also nothing like a bird's eye image, you'd have live 3d imagery from the ground, including places that aren't visible from space.

All that ignoring that it's doubtful they'd ever have so many satellites and enough bandwith to transfer all that data. That seems a lot more feasible from the ground with antennas with broadband connections and which are already set up for the transfer of large amounts of data either way.

Categorising between objects is what humans require to navigate the world and communicate observed difference but at what resolution does one re-think drawing lines between categories?

This is the root problem the whole world is grappling with IMHO.

Country borders?
Gender lines?
(Pick another...)?

At what point does a sibling become a new species. Is fungi more plant or animal. At what point is green on the colour spectrum.

How do we define the point as to when to stop drawing distinct lines and accept a certain "grey scale" while understanding that lines are required somewhere?
In a few months, based on progress in peer reviews, this sounds promising. As of now, not worth the risk in my eyes for a theoretical drop in spread. I lost considerable faith in trending “hot” studies in 2020 that were rushed, not peer reviewed, or heavily altered after publication. Everyone is in such a (manufactured) hurry to get this vaccine… it’s such an obvious psyop.

Replaced Apple Watch with GadgetBridge and a Mi 6 band (cheaper and I have easy access to all data, you need to sync once with their app after you get the key you can delete it ... did the setup on the iphone and copied out the key with a commandline python script from github).

Syncthing is amazing (local sync of audio books, camera images).

AntennaPod is equally amazing as a podcast client (I prefer it to overcast switching from the iPhone).

Other apps I'm using regularly: AnkiDroid

So far so good, not having the Google Services seemed ok, except:
1. still in search for good camera application, recommendations welcome.
2. a replacement of Reeder as an RSS reader (so far have not found a solution that works for me).

Yet, just started programming for it a bit and have to say I love flutter. It's pretty polished (and great for my needs).
