Possibly, but I don't think its required.

The Irvine Company is very similar in Southern California. It seems like they own everything when you want office real estate.

So, it's corruption, right?

Well, except that if you talk to any contractors (like your internet provider installer) you find that they love The Irvine Company because there is someone who has a little bit of competence for them to talk to when they need to. As opposed to every other real estate company that seems to be staffed by brain-damaged monkeys.

So, you can posit corruption. Or, you can posit that real estate management is one of those markets that tends toward monopoly because you can amortize the costs more effectively the more properties you own.
This is cool, though I wonder how much more accurate this is compared to dlib's built-in Correlation Tracker: http://dlib.net/correlation_tracker.py.html

Problem areas are usually when objects cross over each other, and when the tracked object starts moving at a faster speed (eg: sudden speed up in runners, or so on).

*Edit: There's a good gif of dlib's implementation here: https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2018/10/22/object-tracking-wit...
Even more fundamental than national ID or PKI is incentives. If the burden of proof is clearly on the creditor, they will very quickly tighten up their anti-fraud measures. The current equilibrium of creditors being able to burden random people with the cost of proving they're not responsible for fraudulent loans is Kafkaesque.
CEO’s will always be happy to sacrifice the long term for short term bonuses. Don’t underestimate the power of greed.
They actually studied the cause of Lake Shore Drive shutting down in the blizzard and found that it was because of a cascading series of cars and busses got stuck, preventing plows from reaching sections of the road. So they built removable median sections in strategic locations that allow snow plows to bypass traffic snarls and free up the road again.
Some databases rely on the OS file system cache, this is true. However, it is not controversial that doing so reduces performance by integer factors. Bypassing the OS file system cache is idiomatic in database kernel designs where absolute performance is a key objective.

Perhaps because that reflects what they can afford, due to widening income/wealth gaps.
Every time I think that I don't want to do my optional self-review I decide to do it anyway -- because I want to make my manager's life easier.
Afaik they operate out of the US.

I'm not sure if the NSA is really any better, perhaps just less forthright.

I mean, I don't know what to believe, the whole FBI app.le thing makes me feel less cynnical about the chance of NSA knocking on the door in the name of national security - but I've heard they can do that, which seems like you'd have no choice.

As a programmer from Australia though I can't believe they are passing these laws. Seriously depressing.
> I have never been mugged or robbed or had any physical violence occur, or be threatened.

You're lucky (and not that I want to intentionally bring up this card, but I bet you're a burly caucasian male). I saw a guy jump over the Bart ticket gate on literally my first night in SF. I've witnessed multiple retail theft incidents. I've been spat on, literally out of nowhere. A coworker had his garage broken into and a bike stolen. Another mentioned a friend whose backpack was snatched. (All asians)

> It is a community where people build their lives and deserves love and support.

This comes across as an empty platitude. One can say that about literally anywhere, even a place like Kabul. For me, SF is markedly different from other places I've lived, and if we were talking in terms of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, it doesn't score very well.
May you suggest you focus super hard on customer support? The support I’ve gotten from mobile finance (Simple, Chime, Revolut, Acorns) has been at best underwhelming. I’ve mostly stopped using these kinds of services because I don’t trust them to handle things well if I ever have a problem.

Good luck! It looks like a super cool idea.
You're not bragging, but perhaps you're a match for the culture? Your communication skills are better than your colleagues? You collaborate better across teams, and get more done? You're better at planning, and delegating?

I'm trying to say that you being promoted twice and not being an excellent engineer doesn't mean it's easy. You may have other traits that allow you to excel in that environment. The level distribution by itself says that being promoted twice in 3-4 years, with a significant bump in pay each time, isn't the norm.
Ironically enough, Apple had an employee assistance program that allowed me to have 15 therapy sessions per year. I used all 15 of them over a 16 week period. What I learned in therapy was a lot of coping mechanisms.

Here is Derek Lowe on the matter back in June, with an update after the big Egyptian study was retracted: [0]. Not specifically on this website you linked, but on the body of evidence for ivermectin as a COVID therapeutic.

I was curious so I ran Whois queries on three sites: c19early.com which you linked, and ivmmeta.com and c19ivermectin.com. They all seem to be hosted through google sites, and use the same DNS privacy service. I don’t know if google sites by default uses this service or something, but just looking at the similarity of the sites I am wary.

I’m sorry you’re getting downvoted but as someone who has subscribed to The Economist for 20+ years now, I feel the same way as you do.

In areas that are on the periphery, their coverage feels shallow and unsatisfying. I would imagine that the writers, who are some of the best in business, are doing their research but trying to make the content accessible. I can’t fault them for that. However, in this day and age, I would expect them to offer more depth.

Basically they had been abusing developers in 40 different ways, reduced it to just 38 forms of abuse, and they expect a celebration.

If you’re still stealing all my stuff but you agreed to stop jaywalking, expect me to keep fighting to keep you from stealing all my stuff.

Developers should not accept this action, even if they’d get a little cash in the short term.

I don’t live in California but visit[ed] a bunch for work and family reasons. San Jose has essentially always felt like a rust belt city with better weather. Even up until 2020 the downtown restaurant and bar scene was like going to the cool part of Toledo. I don’t understand why that is, but it’s not surprising to me that any small economic downturn would result in flight.
A huge joke. If you have ever had to work with the DoD you may have had to deal with CMMC.

It's totally ridiculous. At least it will boost the economy by adding thousands of security officer jobs and pad the pockets of any security vendor, and drive system administrators nuts by having to deal with shit like Microsoft Azure GCC High

We're getting closer and closer to cyber and kinetic warfare intermingling regularly. Attacking a US company may become akin to attacking a US citizen. State backed or State sanctioned actors will be looked at as an agent of the state itself. Hacks will lead to proportional responses from governments against governments.

It's not much different than our military and contractors protecting domestic oil company interests abroad.
> “Lying flat is my sophistic movement,” Mr. Luo wrote, tipping his hat to Diogenes the Cynic, a Greek philosopher who is said to have lived inside a barrel to criticize the excesses of Athenian aristocrats. On Chinese social media, Mr. Luo’s manifesto, and his assertion that he has a “right to choose a slow lifestyle” of reading, exercising and doing odd jobs to get by, quickly went viral. Sympathizers shared versions of a belief that is gaining global resonance: Work has become intolerable. Rest is resistance.

I don't understand why this is controversial. If someone wants to get by on odd jobs and spend their time reading, exercising, and relaxing, why should anyone have a problem with that? Mr. Luo seems to understand the consequences of the lifestyle he's chosen, and he's willing to accept them. Likewise, the woman who doesn't want a career is free not to have one, assuming she is willing to accept the consequences of her actions.
This is a shame, almost every Discord server I'm in has a bot of some kind to serve some purpose: humor, moderation, utility, etc. I have my own bot I use as a playground for expanding my development skills. My friends get to mess around with it and I've got a project I can talk about and demonstrate to the subsection of my friends who are into software development.

Think a lot of companies who were in the bidding war for Discord dodged a bullet when Discord pulled themselves off the market. Reading the way the people "Mason" and "kadybat" mentioned in the gist conduct themselves with users, especially competent library developers, of the service is concerning. Might even prefer if a BigCorp™ expand their more sterile chat client into Discord's market at this rate.
For many years retail stores didn't care about stolen credit card information being used to buy gift cards. The banking sector ate those fraud losses. Once the payment card oligopoly shifted the liability onto merchants, retailers had to eat way more fraud. Retailers immediately took down gift card displays, rushed to upgrade to chip terminals, and when they put the displays back they stopped selling $500 cards.
The near uniform tech press coverage falling for Apple PR spin before the relevant court documents were available I have to guess is because the class action lawyers were pushing the same narrative. Ryan Jones highlighted why the lawyers might have a different perspective from their developer clients here: https://twitter.com/rjonesy/status/1431095409791934467?s=20

Was the brief positive PR worth it for Apple?
If SF politics is really controlled by a wealthy cabal then why have they allowed the situation to deteriorate so much?

The problem really comes down to market power: if you want any chance of reaching the iphone user market, you gotta bend over and take it from apple.

Sounds familiar...kinda like how corporations maintain cartels on employment, and how unions formed to allow workers to form a cartel of their own to fight back.

I am dead serious: app store developers should form a union, and go on strike. Hold back any and all apps from the app store, and beat back those fees from 30% to practically nothing. The iPhone has no value without an app ecosystem...if anything, they should be paying developers.

Tower/AWX are bad products and they should feel bad. It’s actually easier to run Ansible via any CI system than it is to use Tower. I get what the devs are trying to do but Tower wants to own so much of the process that it’s basically not Ansible anymore. You pretty much have to write your code specifically for Tower (which means a total rewrite in mosts shops because who starts with Tower?)
I would expect an investigation into what QAnon is from an organization and leadership perspective, at least. Your description is a very popular narrative, but my intuition is that it is fairly manufactured.

The Numbers Hiding Behind That QR Code
Yup, you nailed it, impact. Metal bends. I haven't had an oil pan rust through on any of my cars, and I keep older cars than most people in the midwest. I've been here all of my life other than a 5 year stint in Texas. Never even heard a story about someone's rusting through.

And I would believe it's a wise engineering choice, if the first time I've heard about it was in regards to a 2021 truck leaking. I don't know if the other US domestic manufacturers are doing this, but you can bet they'll be right behind as they've always chased each other in a race to making the worst vehicles possible for 50 years now in the name of profits. I read a story that in the 70s GM executives heard that Ford was cutting quality/costs by 30% in some way, and demanded they "get to do" the same.

The Tacoma I'm likely to buy does have a plastic truck bed instead of stainless, which was also a surprise to me. I think everything is being cheapened up, even the Toyotas and Hondas. But I see legitimate trade offs with bed materials that could make a little more sense, much like how Ford uses aluminum beds. When Ford did that, I didn't outright scorn it like these plastic pans.

Discord is likely burning a lot of money on servers & payroll. I would be surprised if they broke even in 2020 given their revenue numbers[0]. Why any VC would back an open source, modifiable project like Matrix just to compete with Discord's existing stranglehold on the market is beyond me.

The only way to have liability is ... show people didn't follow a checklist. The main way to show a restaurant is liable for getting people sick is to show they didn't follow the health code, the main way to show a company is liable for fire is to show they violated various codes, etc.
>I didn't even do my performance self review, and I wrote a poem instead. I got a Meets-Most

And i'm not promotable anyway.

>The key to not being on-call all the time is not answering the call unless you in rotation.

additional trick - to not go into rotation too, at least until it is really core nature of the business that you was aware about when coming onboard.

> There’s an interesting discourse about whether gacha games are anti-consumer or not which I don’t have enough space to do justice to here. Broadly I think they have some challenges similar to gambling, insofar as many adults gamble recreationally and enjoy it, while some are clearly harmed by it. I used to think that free-to-play games’ dependence on whales was strong evidence that they were a negative development, but I heard an argument from the CEO of Kongregate which changed my mind. Distilled to its essence, it is that “Many whales are simply employed professionals who enjoy what they enjoy, and professionals historically spend a lot of money on what they enjoy. Why should we have contempt for this in a video game when we don’t if it is e.g. figure skating or wine?” I recommend reading or watching the entire talk if you’re interested in this topic.

I find it pretty disingenuous to put this in the footnote and brush it off as "not having enough space", and then went on to justify it with an opinion from someone who clearly has stake in this space.

Equating whales with professionals is just completely missing the point, and is simply marketing speech that masks the underlying problem.

A lot of mechanisms in Gacha games are engineered dark patterns whose sole purpose is to make money. They are basically there to exploit those who are psychologically more susceptible.

It's ironic that the author uses Genshin Impact as an example and then went on to say something about spending more money in Gacha game is a reflection of professionalism. In Genshin Impact you can power up A LOT by spending money on Gacha because you can get substantially better equipment that is otherwise unavailable through normal game play, or you can power up your existing characters, too. Can someone instantly become better at skating with a better pair of skates?
Most folks don't naturally like to measure things. Most people view the world through their own personal lens and they categorize phenomena through their experiences. It makes it hard to "sell" the idea of measurement, since most people only see the things they're predisposed to see.
It's a duopoly. Google Play prohibits apps too and takes the same cut. You can't vote with your wallet if both your alternatives are the same.

Imagine you could get an iPhone that was exactly the same in every way except that developers kept 95% of the money they earned instead of Apple taking 30% with no possible competition. How many customers would choose the "screw the developers" option if they weren't being forced to trade it off against anything else?
Yeah it's probably not so rare. The errors in this case never fall on the side of false positive, and it's impossible they caught every breakthrough case. It follows that there are more breakthrough cases than what's reported. The point of contention is by what margin the CDC is off.

If you really want to embiggen the problem, ask yourself how many people got covid but never got tested. The rate of mild infection is probably a lot higher than reported because only people with anxiety and/or serious covid bothered to get tested or hospitalized. Everyone else called in sick or didn't know/care.

This looks interesting although even in their sample video you can see a lot of tracking loss and reidentification events.

I do wonder how it would perform in more difficult scenarios with problems like partial obstruction, crowding and changing object scale (e.g. objects moving away from the camera).

I implemented a production object tracking (using tracking by detection) system and these were the main challenges I encountered.

Still a very interesting looking result though:)

Reading that placates my concerns a little. The bot API community's reported morale deflation after the NDA-sealed meeting mentioned in the Gist kind of trounces it though. I've got a sinking feeling that the ultimate vision for this applies to all bots, and it's only "bots used in 100+ servers" for now.

Time will tell, I hope I'm proven wrong. I hope that preemptively voicing my concerns helps keep the conversation going to make sure small bot authors aren't left in the dark.
