Thank you for advocating for it, I am sure it made a difference!
TSMC Price Hike
There's no standard length of time to say you've "lived somewhere" so peoples' definitions vary. One blog post on the photographer's website says she studied abroad for a semester in England. If that's what she's referring to when she says she lived in England, some folks would say "you didn't live there, that was a temporary arrangement", and others would say "that was a much longer experience than just a week's vacation, that certainly counts as living there".

On the other hand I'm sure she didn't attain citizenship in 4 foreign countries, that's an extremely high bar just for someone to say they "live there".
SEEKING WORK | US & Remote

I'm the leader of a high-skill design and development firm in the US with engineers in the US and Eurasia. Our engineers work on projects for startups and enterprises in the US, Europe, and Asia. I've been a software engineer and architect for many years for startups and enterprises, and that experience has taught me and our team how to take vague project requirements and outlines and pare them down to the essentials to get, and deliver, value, quickly. Let’s set up a quick chat to see if there’s a fit. Email - techflow.consulting@gmail.com We have immediate availability, but don’t hesitate if your project is 6+ months from now either!

Our pricing is great because we have strong talent in lower cost of living countries (Sweden, Russia, Kazakhstan, etc.). Our engineers are either hourly(all less than $55/hr) or we work out a project structure with milestones along the way on the terms that your team or organization needs. We encourage everyone to speak to other teams so they feel confident in our approach and price point. That said, we prefer to stay away from projects that don’t care about quality and only care about finding the cheapest team on the planet!

We have delivered applications from scratch and complete rewrites of existing applications that serve millions of users and directly generate $100’s MM in revenue. Some are quick and simple and others last 6-18 months. We are comfortable picking the latest technology stack to fit your needs, or taking over a C#, Python, or Java project. For design we’ve worked in Figma and implemented frontends with React, Vue, or HTML Templates using Bootstrap and Tailwind for CSS. We’ve deployed to AWS, Azure, and Heroku, and utilized PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Redis historically. We prefer simple architectural designs that don’t rely on a lot of services, unless necessary. Of course, we architect for future needs and growth, but we find most projects can operate with on pretty simple infrastructure to enable a smooth transition when your team takes over or joins our efforts.

Email me any quick questions you have at techflow.consulting@gmail.com

Tech competency in no particular order: C#, React, Python, Java, Vue, HTML, Bootstrap, Tailwind, AWS, Azure, Heroku, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Redis
I think this is a good of example of why Scott Adams says this about analogies:

Analogies: Analogies are good tools for explaining a concept to someone for the first time. But because analogies are imperfect they are the worst way to persuade. All discussions that involve analogies devolve into arguments about the quality of the analogy, not the underlying situation.

Assuming the fridge is made of metal, isn't is safer than a cabinet? Efficiency may be noticably worse, especially if poorly insulated, but I don't understand the safety aspect.
This is pretty condescending, and also misses the major point made in TFA. Writing a quick Ansible playbook/docker compose means you can quickly standup your services on any system. Run it locally on a raspberry pi, move it to a VPS, just run one command.

None of this tooling is "heavy duty" by any means. If you just apply a little thought, you'll see how this saves time and effort.
SEEKING WORK - REMOTE I help non-technical founders build and launch Million Dollar MVPs.
Are you a non-technical founder struggling to find technical partners to help make your startup vision a reality?

I’ve spent the last ten years obsessing about how to help founders like you get their startups off the ground and into the marketplace.

Since leaving Google in 2015 and starting No Nerds No Problem, I’ve grown this company to 10+ nerds across 4 different countries, been featured in Bloomberg, and have helped more than 25 companies launch their MVPs and raise a combined $650M in fundraising.

And I can help you do the same.

Here's what my clients have to say:

“Before we started No Nerds' process, I wasn’t sure it would be worth it. Having gone through it, I can’t imagine it going any other way." - Sachin Gulaya (CEO, Alpine Vapors)

“James and his team stepped in at a critical moment in Wellness 4 Humanity's trajectory and delivered exactly what we needed to hit our deadlines." - Lian Pham (Founder, Wellness 4 Humanity)

“After three years of other agencies promising a lot but delivering little, getting to test a prototype after just a few weeks was very cool. From the first time we sat down, I really felt James got what I was trying to do.” - Andy Lin (Founder, Self Portrait Project)

At my workplace we use all Dell, including the laptops, and I've been mostly happy with them.
Uber and Lyft cars now come with Chinese facial recognition ad tablets
> I’m sick of this framing. Tired of it. Many people have tried to explain, many scholars. Listen to us. You can’t just reduce harms caused by ML to dataset bias.

Is pointing out the technical reason for a malfunction "reducing harms caused to dataset bias"?

Actually, in this specific example, what form would the harm take place? Would the ML system upscale a surveillance photo of a black person into a white person, causing the white person to be wrongfully arrested? Does facial recognition working better on white faces mean white protesters are at greater risk of surveillance?

I'm also sick of this framing.
"FVP-02-014 General: Cross-site WebSocket hijacking (High)

The provided staging build contains the Mozilla VPN WebSocket Controller, which exposes a WebSocket endpoint on localhost. No additional authentication is required to interact with this port, thus allowing any website to connect and interact with the VPN client. At the beginning of the audit, Mozilla assured that this WebSocket server is only part of the staging build. However, later it was revealed that Mozilla would like to reuse this connection for communication with a browser extension in the future. Thus, Cure53 decided to report this issue."

A classic one.

Also interesting:

"On Linux and macOS, a helper shell script is called by the privileged daemon which sets up WireGuard and network configurations. This script is extremely critical for security and should normally get most of the security attention. However, prior to the test, Mozilla has announced that it will be replaced soon and, as such, does not warrant substantial reviewing efforts. This - in Cure53’s opinion - is rather unfortunate in relation to its criticality. Cure53 therefore recommends that the upcoming changes get comprehensively reviewed in terms of security before they are shipped in production releases."
Very comprehensive work
SS&C | Multiple Roles (Cloud Platform Team) | Full-time | Remote

SS&C is a global provider of investment and financial services and software for the financial services and healthcare industries.
We're developing the foundations for a platform that will become the cornerstone of application development for our company. We're at an early stage in our development, and there's a lot of opportunity to set precedent and guidance in architecture, process, and team culture.

We’re looking for great engineers to join our talented team and help us build.

You're passionate about the unreasonable efficacy of cloud platforms and developer experience. You're looking for an opportunity to build something big with extremely smart people who've done it before. You thrive in cultures that value innovation and fast-paced delivery. You’re tied to whatever tech is right for the job, not just the tech you’re experienced with. That said, if you have experience with Go, Temporal, Kubernetes, and/or vSphere, you'll feel at home pretty quickly.

Feel free to reach out via email if you'd like to talk through the position or the company in more detail.

You're just listing a bunch of tech here that probably many Elixir apps use. None of it is essential for Rails btw.
The best revenue stream available to Docker was the numerous, generous buyout offers they had in the early days.
... which is why strict regulations exist to cover what banks can and cannot invest in. Retail banks can't just YOLO reserves into GME lol.
AFAIK, most of the Burning Chrome short stories were originally published before the Sprawl novels, then later collected in the anthology? (Side note: you can buy original 80s copies of Omni magazine with the first publication for pretty cheap off eBay)

Other authors I've enjoyed, coming off Neuromancer-type Gibson:

Richard K. Morgan (Altered Carbon, Broken Angels, Woken Furies). Closest in tone. For god's sake don't watch the Amazon series for plot.

Effinger comes up on a lot of lists, although I haven't read it myself yet.

Vernor Vinge (A Fire Upon the Deep, A Deepness in the Sky, The Children of the Sky). Space opera instead of cyberpunk, but shares early Gibson's "incremental exposition," where you figure things out gradually vs all at once.

Tbh, I think the best cyberpunk was always in short story form, and mostly before 1990.

Alabama: https://data.commercialappeal.com/covid-19-hospital-capacity... - Scrolling through these, it still looks like only 20-30% are covid.

Arkansas: https://data.commercialappeal.com/covid-19-hospital-capacity... - Mostly not being overrun, and again covid is only like 20-30%.

Florida: https://data.commercialappeal.com/covid-19-hospital-capacity... - Similar to Alabama, and like Alabama, mostly not covid.

Georgia: https://data.commercialappeal.com/covid-19-hospital-capacity... - Only a handful are out of beds, with the covid patients looking like an even smaller proportion, around 15-20% in most of them.

Mississippi - https://data.commercialappeal.com/covid-19-hospital-capacity... - Only the smallest hospitals are out of beds, with covid again looking like the 20-30% range for most of them.

Texas - https://data.commercialappeal.com/covid-19-hospital-capacity... - About half of them are on the high end; Texas looks like it's in much better shape than the other five states. Again covid cases are on the low end, 15-20%.

If there's something overrunning these hospitals, it's still most likely deferred treatments from last year. (Edit: And as the comment sibling to yours points out, they're currently doing elective surgeries that can probably be postponed to open up more capacity if really needed)
I believe it's best to give coupons instead of money as aid. Give food/clothing coupons so it's more difficult to purchase alchohol/cigarettes with it. For sure it's still possible but we can add additional measures to increase the difficulties. It's like housing (at least in Canada), they don't give you money to rent apartments, instead they give you specific apartments that you can rent with discounted price.
New quantum 'fingerprinting' protocol to improve information exchange
I do and I also own a number of MacBooks.

The trackpad is solid but not quite to the level of an Apple product, at least when I'm running Ubuntu. I imagine as drivers improve over time it will only get better.

I personally dig the display but I am not doing anything graphics intensive so YMMV. The aspect ratio is great for editing text files, though!
The unbundle/bundle pendulum swings. A lot of this include everything (even deployments in the tooling of a language) feels like the ASP/.NET ecosystem.
Philosophers, artists, and other thinkers have written about aesthetics for thousands of years.

Truly answering your question would take a long time, but a short version might be something like: the collective opinions of a diverse group of highly informed and experienced (not necessarily educated as in a university) individuals. But that's just one approach and there are many others.

Even then, anything is probably superior to using monetary value as equivalent to anything other than what the market currently prices it as. I certainly don't think the most expensive painting is the most beautiful one, although it may be not be totally uncorrelated.

If you're interested in these kinds of questions, definitely look into the philosophical field of aesthetics.
Around | SRE, SDET, WebRTC Media Client Engineers, Growth Marketing Mgr | Full-time | 100% REMOTE US + EU + LATAM timezones | https://www.around.co/

======================================

Around is an early stage, Series A startup backed by Ryan Hoover, Naval Ravikant, Wing, Credo, Initialized Capital, Slack Fund, Floodgate, and Forerunner Ventures.

Less meeting, more making. Video calls designed for energy, ideas, and action.

A new era of work...
Video calls need to reflect a new era of working. That’s why we took video and made it less. Less traditional, less formal, less bulky, even less realistic. Less about blowing up people’s faces on a 70-inch HDTV, more about focusing and doing. Around is there for a quick session to supercharge all future-of-work applications. It’s just enough to be present but makes space for what’s important: the task at hand.

Our sophisticated, AI-assisted audio technology developed over a period of 2 years completely transforms the possibilities and dynamics of a video call. Dedicated conference room equipment is no longer needed, and Around’s focused UX makes video calls fast and productive.

1. even in your 20s, there's still risk to be sick in an unpleasant way
2. we've been using vaccines forever. I've been vaccinated maybe 10 times in my life. Why suddenly should I worry. RNA vaccines may be newer, but 100s of millions of people have been vaccinated, and side effects happen usually soon after the injection. You can also use the AZ vaccine which is more conventional.
3. you prevent other people from getting sick. Even though the vaccine doesn't totally prevent spreading the disease, it does to some extent.
4. Consensus about doctors is that ratio benefit/risk is favorable toward the vaccine for all age classes. I trust my family doctor with my health and follow his recommendation.

They’re now charging for the GUI they have developed, while the core of Docker is still free. Someone has to fund continued development, asking companies for a fee feels quite logical.

Seems to me that a value-add tool makes sense to commercialize. It doesn’t provide a large array of features yet, but this funding will help with that.

If you don’t find it useful enough for the fee, clearly you’re better off with CLI or alternative GUIs.
My feeling has been that linux on M1 isn't going to be stable until the next generation so I was definitely going to wait. But that's future talk. If it becomes stable, I may just do it.
Spring 6.0 will be using Java 17 as its baseline
Yes because the government has done a fantastic job using our money in a fiscally responsible manner for K-12; let's extend that even further in the collegiate system.
Does that mean you don't sign in to your email provider (or any websites) on your phone? Or that you only use the browser in private mode and close all tabs as soon as they are done?

Just curious how you mitigate the danger of a third party accessing your private information if your phone is ever lost/stolen.
I’ve yet to see a language + framework combination that has everything great from Erlang/OTP.

Scala+Akka might come close, but from what I’ve heard it’s not there yet.
I would be very careful to label an opinion as being ignorant, and then assert things like "people… know vaccination is the only way [to get rid of the pandemic]".

The scientific community seems to be very divided on whether "getting rid of covid" is even a goal at this point (at least based on what i read on what virologist and epidemiologist say).

I feel you (like many others) have failed to put their instinctive repulsion for the archetypal anti-vaxer aside and objectively evaluate the pros and cons of every strategy.

EDIT: thanks for the paper, but already the title itself says it all and seem to comfort my position: "a new era in vaccinology". We all know what happens with 1.0 versions of a brand new tech, right ? I'll still take the time to read it entirely since you've taken the time to send it to me.
You can use adb to remove this kind of crap without having to root the device, can't you?

The worst of the RIIR fan boys are intensely annoying, but they annoy the crap out of every rust developer I know just as much.

I've been through enough waves of asshole fan boys for different things now that I can mostly tune them out, but they're basically never the people actually getting things done so even on the days I can't tune them out I try not to let them reflect badly on the project.

Similarly, Rick and Morty is still funny to me even if I do basically have to block any vocal fan of it I encounter on twitter.
> Inflation would skyrocket, asset-holders will get richer and inequality would get worse if it already isn't.

1) I don't think UBI would be that much money per person. The UBI proposals are alternatives to food stamps, not jobs.

2) The people with money to burn and buy assets and $20 burgers would lost more than their UBI due to taxes.

Aside, in expensive west coast cities we already have $20 burgers
