His series production earnings are not important in this context as the main topic is how UK farmers have lot of crops/fruits rotting on the fields as they cannot find people to work.

Was trying to say that it is not easy to be a farmer, I watched few youtube guys in america saying the similar thing, earnings are tied to subsidies and also fluctuations in crop price, and can literally mean boom or bust.
Could be. But then it should be easy to verify the facts - did 100's of Apple engineers, along with senior ones, leave Apple CPU division? And does the Apple ARM division suffer because of this talent drain? The whole article makes assumptions based on these facts. Perhaps the assumptions may be exaggerated ... but if people working on the M1 left Apple, it would certainly be an issue for Apple.
Many domain registries allow you to send domains directly to the pending delete status (or drop them entirely.) It's how domain tasting used to work about 10 years ago before ICANN/Verisign changed up the rules.

>> "The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that. So there is zero probability of default." Alan Greenspan

That has negative consequences that are papered over by making simplistic statements like that. The debt is still bad and going to result in bad things happening, and no platitudes from the Fed are going to change that.
Yes in the sense that for a bet like streaking the chance that you can affect the outcome is 100%.

The chance that you can short a "broad range of stocks" and affect their share price is alot less certain. Especially in liquid markets your chance of affecting a blue chips stock price is very small.

There are always a few cases, like Archageos, where you can get so big that you move the stock but those cases are so well known exactly because they are so rare.
Jürgen Schmidhuber has a track record of complaining about unfairness in the conventionally accepted view of the scientific record, especially in the English-speaking world. For instance, he has claimed for years that his own early research on AI has been unfairly overlooked or ignored by a "conspiracy" (his word, not mine).[a] At one point, the NY Times called him the "Rodney Dangerfield of AI research" because he doesn't get the respect he deserves.[b]

Ultimately, as always, credit will be assigned by future generations of scientists and historians long after everyone who is alive today has disappeared from the face of the earth. Many disagreements that seem important now will be forgotten. Many findings that seem important now will turn out not be. Many names that are very prominent now will fade into obscurity. As always.

Ok. I don’t agree there. What I’ve heard from security experts is that WireGuard is vastly superior to OpenVPN.

Addendum: OpenVPN was released in 2001 and there where lots of cryptography-related systems from that era that certainly didn’t age well – IMO OpenVPN is one of those examples.

Thats parts of my meatbag of an entity, which is recognized by most governments, and almost every person in the world, to be "me", to be the person that I am, everyone agrees this is a fine definition, but whatever.

I have been given SOWs/contracts to sign as an individual that included indemnification clauses that explicitly stated I would be held liable for damages and legal costs. I've returned the documents (unsigned) with those sections removed, and provided the feedback that it doesn't make any sense for me to take on that risk for a small, short-term contract. I know insurance exists, but the cost of it makes it a nonstarter for me. I've been able to get indemnification clauses dropped, YMMV.

Of course discrimination has greatly affected wealth distribution in the past. Still, I believe wealth re-distribution through Scandinavian style welfare state is the answer, not lectures about white-privilege and minority quotas. These days simply being white doesn't make you privileged if you were born into poor family, and being black doesn't automatically make you underprivileged if your parents happen to be wealthy.
His usual answer is "vote on values, bet on beliefs." So we would just vote on what to include, and then bet (through prediction markets) on how to achieve these goals.

So my solutions to the problem you dont thik exists would probably make that house more expensive, because the value of the land underneath it is the main driver of price increases, and the person who owns the home does little to drive that, but reaps all the benefit.

This distorts the market and forces people into buying property. If someone could just rent for a few years then they probably would, and then we could write laws that support rrenters and owning and renting buildings would just be a boring business.

Instead, people do the sums and realise they are rewarded for buying that property and getting the free money as the area is developed. So we are all nudged into buying property and then we get laws that benefit people with property.

If there was a land value tax, then people living in low density homes in amazing locations in cities would be taxed out and high density homes would be built in their place. These would likely still be expensive, but by splitting the tax among several people, would be able to afford the land tax.
I like this solution way more than anything proposed here. It's how I'd write it by hand.

Taking the Long View on Open Computing
English has a lot of strange phrases that mean something other than what you'd guess from parsing the words by what they mean. For example, critical race theory is a phrase in the imperative sense that means "start arguing right now."
This is a very important point - many questions on SO that come up first in Google results are VERY old, and the accepted answer may no longer apply with later versions of whatever is being asked about, and the original poster may be long gone or even dead.
To my eyes the best looking shadows on the page are the harder box-shadows, like the one labeled typical shadow at the beginning of the article. In particular the very soft shadows look indistinct and displeasing.

It might be because using a single, somewhat hard, black colored box-shadow is the most physically realistic option presented for a single distant light source. Adding more shadows of different radii at the same angle certainly does not approximate raytracing and give a more physically accurate result. In fact the lighting setup you would need to achieve that effect in real life would be very awkward, a set collinear lights of increasing size. Also, black is close to the best color to blend with for shadows, because it will lower the intensity of each color channel in roughly the same proportion. It won't give exact results unless you blend in sRGB space, but neither will any color blend, and black is probably the best approximation.

And two of his demos are very misleading. The majority of the 3D effect in the reveal demo comes from the actual 3D effect. Before sliding the slider, I couldn't judge the depths at all. And the elevation demo looks good, but I think much of the effect is from the size of the div increasing. If the purpose of the demo is to show the effect of shadow sharpness on perceived depth, it shouldn't confound it with another variable.
Eh, worrying much about this stuff is fairly pointless. It’s not like there’s a rules committee we can petition.

It actively goes against their profit interests. If they deprecate the older devices and leave them as black boxes, that's another way to push consumers to buying the new stuff.

Something like this would have to be done with regulation.

Shares some similarities with the gradual corruption of copyright over the years, extending it out into infinity (thanks Disney!), companies would rather hold close the things they refuse to use than give them to the people once they have no more profit to be made off of them.

Here is the interesting bit: "Mr. Zuckerberg announced he was changing Facebook product managers’ goal from helping people find relevant content to helping them interact more with friends and family."

What this did not take into account -- and I suppose it is easy to see in hindsight -- is that the Buzzfeed social justice stuff is proselytized by people you know. We have all heard various people "going no contact" with "toxic" (as in "masculinity") on Facebook and other social media. When people get into social justice, they constantly hammer the people they know about it, doing "call-outs" and "checking privilege." This does not happen to strangers, it happens to people they know ... just like a recent convert to a religion can become an irritant with their newfound beliefs and their attempts to work it into conversation on almost any pretext.

Here is another type of example for you: check your various feeds about COVID. One group is "they are killing us with their refusal to vaccinate" and the other is "they are killing us with these vaccines." Nobody is convincing anybody else, it is just yelling across the aisle. More sharing between people you know just means more yelling.

Facebook focused on the easy part -- who, upon which they already have a firm grasp -- rather than the hard part, what, namely trying to automate some kind of machine understanding of content. It's the what which is divisive and angry, not the who. My friend's wife shares photos of her garden and her chicken, fine. But she goes on and on and on about COVID, about four-fifths of her posts are about it. I'm already vaccinated, I am tired of hearing about it. And the people who are not vaccinated by now are not going to be convinced by yelling at them constantly, but it sure feels good to yell about the bad people, whoever they are.

We saw this all before with the various Christian fears about D&D in the 1980s and the Satanic panics. It's just a new flavor of people yelling at those nearby: friends and family. Now it is mediated by Facebook, Instagram, and the like.
Good stuff. IAM roles for deployment tend to be quite broad in my experience, and rarely rotated. GitHub Actions generally does a solid job of protecting their Secrets service from being logged or accessed inappropriately, but it isn’t bulletproof against internal access or malicious actions. OIDC can be intimidating to set up so this tutorial is quite welcome.
I'm reminded of the story of the girl who survived, somehow, a fall from a plane in the Amazon while strapped in to her seat. The theory is that the row seats spun like one of those seed pods and slowed her down when hitting some trees.

I've often thought about this topic since the explosive decompression of Malaysia flight 17 over Ukraine. The anti-aircraft missile apparently caused an instant, explosive decompression of the plane. Assuming you weren't hit by one of the projectiles, you would have found yourself suddenly free-falling.

Not elected leaders in general, just elected leaders in our specific ecosystem of incentives for those leaders. For them to be acting irrationally, it would be necessary to show that genuinely solving problems is what they're trying to do, but people who put that above the negotiations and compromises necessary to be reelected do not survive or get promoted to higher offices. If we want to change the outcomes, we need to change what it takes for someone to be elected.

And that will not happen as long as people believe that anyone who disagrees with them or behaves suboptimally just isn't thinking rationally.

It's definitely possible to abstract away HTTP requests for debug purposes; Cypress is one example, which makes a snapshot of the DOM and a log of what happened for every event, and allows the user to stub out HTTP requests. Redux's time traveling debugger omitted HTTP entirely, instead only logging changes in the state.

Typically, any high performance (low latency or high throughput) genomics/bioinformatics applicaiton is not going to be written in plain Python, except possibly for prototyping. Instead, nearly all codes today are written in C++ or Java, with some sort of command and control in Python or a DAG-based workflow scheduler.

I don't expect the community will adopt other languages at a large scale. My hope, though, is that more of these algorithms move to real distributed processing systems like Spark, to take advantage of all the great ideas in systems like that. But genomics will continue to trail the leading edge by about 20 years for the foreseeable future.

This is kind of solved by Right to Repair legislation. It would prevent companies from making exclusivity deals and force them to allow this stuff to be sold to the public - not that they have to sell it themselves, but their partners would be free to.
