A few more years of depreciation and getting hit with a bill like this could mean your insurance company salvages your title. Probably good to pass this live grenade of a car to someone else before that happens.
I wonder too why there is no option to pre-file an assertion of fair use or public domain material and have it acknowledged as filed by YT. Some people put disclaimers in the opening frames of their video or in the description but there's no indication that YouTube acknowledges this in any way.
Spoiler: only the two founders are making out like bandits. Mailchimp employees aren't given equity.
If you're not familiar with information theory, hamming codes, data compression, and the like, the title might be misread as "decryption." Sorry, nothing to do with breaking ciphers.

The article is about a new chip that can efficiently process lossless coding across different transmission algorithms.

Intuit to Buy Mailchimp for $12B
I'm not outraged at all. Where did you get this from? I was asking for details because everything has been very vague.
I read Wikipedia's current events via RSS:

It has a much higher signal-to-noise ratio for “serious” news than most “serious” news outlets seem to.
I loved the original C&C so much.
C&C rivals was a surprisingly interesting game, it has none of the fun of the originals.
Nice. Now do it in Rust running (and building) on a Pentium.
My children are still very young but got pressure to be playing the popular games in primary school, at age 8. At break time/recess some of the kids play games based on Brawl Stars & Zooba and if you don't play those then you're excluded.

It seems to be worst for children with older siblings, who see what their siblings play and ask for it, and as it's already "in the house" the parents are more willing to allow it. I have the same issue with my children as they are a few years apart, the younger one gets disappointed but I try to find different games for him to play.

My kids get one hour of gaming each day of the weekend but there are those in their class who have had free access to a tablet every day from age 6. It's anecdotal, but those do seem to be the ones with most behavioral issues and find it hard to play creatively.
I like this article: “Venture capital money kills more businesses than it helps”

Racket's native GUI lib really blew me away.
Anecdotal, but per a relative who deployed to multiple care center and nursing homes - smokers never seemed to get symptomatic Covid, those who chewed dip (including him) seemed as likely as anyone else to do so.
I think I understand the motivation for having a law prohibiting auto makers from selling straight to consumers. I’m sure it has more to do with money than ethics.

My question: Why autos, but not other consumer goods? Should I be restricted from buying an iPhone from an Apple store, rather than Greg’s Phone Emporium?

The "Paramount Decree" is lifted as of Aug 7, 2020 with a 2 year sunset period, so as of Aug 7, 2022, there is no law preventing studios from owning theaters.
Oh wow. There are a few cross platform gui tools but what else looks this good?
Maybe the fearmongers are right, and we've truly reached a post-privacy world. Frankly, I don't know how else you'd describe it: your phone, smartwatch or computer can all be silently hacked without your knowledge (or any easy way to verify that you're infected). You can't visualize or control how your personal data is propagated, and the cherry on top is that it's all a laissez-faire exploit carnival. I don't know if it's fair to call Apple culpable here, but it is fair to say that your phone (and data) is at risk.
IMO the solution is at least releated to ranked choice voting, where people can vote for people that will never win (at least this time around) without their vote becoming meaningless.
In case you haven't already, you should submit a request to delete all your data as a Mailchimp "Contact" (a "Contact" is a person whose contact info was given to Mailchimp by a Mailchimp "Member"):

Constant Contact is still independent. Its WYSIWYG is just fine and comes out a little cheaper for me.
I like EmailOctopus Connect.[0] It includes a WYSIWYG editor, but it sends outgoing mail through your own Amazon SES account, so it stays affordable even with large lists. They also have a non-SES offering which costs a little more.[1]

They're also bootstrapped and independent. They have a really easy to use API[2] (other providers have horrifically inscrutable APIs[3]). The customer service used to be excellent since you were talking directly to the founders. Now they've outsourced customer support so that's not as good, but I still like them far more than any other email service provider.

Thats cool, I'll be having a closer look. I'm working on an xbar plugin app [1][2] that alerts me when there is a warmer day in the coming week.

I used VisualCrossing [3] which seems quite good, and crucially allows 2 weeks historical data, which I think is quite rare. It looks like you offer 2?
Darksky did not offer this feature I don't think.

For my use the accuracy is not critical.

They meet once a week for a full day to discuss the course material with a paid tutor. That gives a good time to have those discussions and ask questions.

You are completely correct about how hard independent study can be, in the group our younger kids go to, a few of the older siblings have opted to go back to a classroom settings, not all of them, but every kid is different and with a strong academic basis they can thrive in whatever setting you put them in. More importantly if the students choose to go to college that will almost definitely be a traditional college experience so at some point they will need to be acclimated to traditional school. I hope my children can thrive in the independent program, but if not they will have the skills needed to learn in any environment.

In London you can now report the driver if they're on the road with a "broken" card machine, as that makes the car considered "unfit".

A lot of drivers still use unapproved card devices, though (TFL points out handheld terminals are explicitly not approved, yet I regularly have taxi drivers insist their fixed terminal isn't working, and to use a handheld one), which I'm taking means there's assorted tax fraud going on.

You need to bring your own IPs and warm them up with legit emails. People abuse shared cloud IP addresses for spam, so you're going to run in to problems if you want to use them.
Until recently, Cisco's IOS-XR was based on the QNX microkernel.

Not at all. I'm just saying that if a manufacturer relied in the past on non-company owned businesses to establish markets, it's not clearly wrong to prevent the manufacturer from undercutting those businesses by opening company owned stores in the same locations.

I think that Tesla should be allowed to open a store wherever they want (subject to other rules & regulations), since they have never used dealers.
> a large human moderation team

You're not the only person who has suggested this. Let's think about that for a second. Let's say it takes 6 minutes for a moderation team to review an older account. There's 2 billion accounts, so it'd be good to review all of those. It would take about 200 million hours. Presumably you'd want to re-review positive cases so no moderator has too much power. Additional time. Even if Facebook literally doubled the number of employees, and hired 50000 people overnight, they would still take 2 years to complete the review. But in that time it's possible that previously benign accounts turn abusive.

And then think about the 20 million odd new accounts that are created every day. How long before each of those are reviewed? And what signals will you use to review them? These are mostly empty accounts, so there's not much to go on.

And that's just the problem of aged fake accounts. How about bullying, harassment, nudity, terrorism, CEI and all the other problems?

It's interesting talking to people who say "oh that problem is easy to solve, just do X" without realising that the problem is more complicated than it looks.

> Who's liable if the driver crashes?

Depends. If the driver is judged to be an employee, the employer can be liable, depending on circumstances.

Extreme ends of the spectrum:

- Company didn’t and couldn’t know that the driver was too drunk/tired to drive

- Employee complained about working hours and traffic conditions; employer threatened employee with dismissal.

> Who's liable if the automated car crashes?

Again, depends. Could be the taxi company, the car owner, the manufacturer, even the driver (if they ignored zillions of warnings from the car, for example)
I used to have such a floppy. It was mindblowing, even though at the time 2 floppies would be enough to bootstrap a Debian install (if you had a common network card, the drivers of which were included).

Debian would just show the old curses-like installer, and pull the rest of the system from the repo, while QNX had a full GUI, network card/modem drivers, and a friggin web browser in 1.44 MB.

Ben eater on YT has a lot of cool projects: https://eater.net

I'm currently working on a project to do soil analysis in realtime via a LoraWan network (kinda like https://youtu.be/iN6j1AbUbYo). Also looking at doing hydroponics, but that isn't very microcontroller heavy.
Assuming human farms, we could likely breed out most contagions like we have been doing with existing farm animals. So that wouldn't be an issue.
Yeah, this is the big moat that big viral email companies have. You can only get around spam filters by building reputation which takes time and volume so it's really hard to bootstrap. The shortest path would be to start with low-level managed service like AWS SES and build value adds on top of it.
Most people think of Intuit as the company that helps them to deal with government bullshit and they are happy to pay for that.

The average consumer doesn't know that Intuit has a gross business model that is entirely based on the idea of deliberately keeping bureaucracy alive. They think the exact opposite.

They believe Intuit is giving them a solution to deal with the government's outdated and overly-complex tax filing system. And unsurpisingly the government has no issues with being the escape goat on this one, because the way you pay your taxes will never be as politically contentious as determining who gets to pay taxes and how much they pay.
The binaries are available in OS restore images that Apple makes publicly available.
I heavily recommend reading “This is How They Tell Me The World Ends” written by one of the guests he had in episode 98, Nicole Perlroth (which also touched a little on the NSO in that episode). She’s The NY Times cybersecurity reporter. A lot of the book focused on the NSO, among others.
From the article: "study suggests that roughly half of all the hospitalized patients showing up on COVID-data dashboards in 2021 may have been admitted for another reason entirely."
There are lots of vision applications that aren't driving or medicine. Visual inspection is a one - that's used in insurance claim management, also determining quality/faults to save assemble reworks. Applications don't have to be "critical" to provide significant value - and alot of these cases have many disjoint users, meaning that value can be replicated. You probably won't read about many of them because "AI delivers $4.7m" doesn't make headlines, but if there are 50 end users (I have no evidence for the number btw) then that's alot of beans.

I don't care what Gary Marcus says - this isn't a court of law, his opinion doesn't matter. Quoting people as authorities is not a science thing.

Marcus is an academic and he has made an error saying that "deep learning has bad engineering properties", the truth is that academics and researchers are not engineers and they have used a neutral tool as academics and researchers. I have not seen a well engineered large vision model yet. Specifically the current generation of vision models have bad engineering - they have been devised with no thought about the properties of the applications that they can be used for, instead they were devised to meet academic tests like Imagenet. When you do real work you realise just what bullshit that challenge is, but the virtue of it is that it got models built and we've been able to make some hay with the results.

In the next few years the knowledge of why and how the models miss the mark will propagate to folks with the time and money to build well engineered models with the appropriate properties. Then I expect we will see critical applications being built. I think medical applications may never come, along with self driving ones, but that's because there are fundamental human system problems with both of those domains, and not because it's impossible to engineer models.
In previous years, we'd look at stodgy bureaucratic systems like this and think "Just wait until Google and/or venture capital disrupts them!"

But now it is Google and venture capital perpetuating the slow, banal, bureaucratic injustice.

The good news is, there's no reason to believe that Google won't also be disrupted eventually. It's sort of happening already, with people voluntarily deciding to not use music in their videos, which makes YouTube less valuable as an asset, something Google brought upon themselves.
This is honestly better than some other Viking metal I’ve heard before…
I believe that its intent was not to force the existence of 3rd party middlemen, but rather to acknowledge their existence (and the role they had played for manufacturers by assuming a large part of the risk), and prevent them from being swept away by direct sales after doing that.

I don't believe that this should apply to Tesla, because they do not use dealers anywhere.
In the exploration I linked, the only types of interaction offered to the learner were either ok/proceed, or 'answer this textual multiple choice question'. This may make it seem like Oppia doesn't do much more than software for interactive fiction.

BUT Oppia has lots of other interaction types: https://github.com/oppia/oppia/tree/develop/extensions/inter...

For example, you can input music notes: https://github.com/oppia/oppia/issues/4842

Or ask the learner to enter a fraction, or to sort some objects.
Despite all the drama around crypto, there is a lot of cool stuff going on in that space.
Many normies use Amazon store, or Samsung store, or whatever, without even realising it's a different thing.
That sounds very promising! Having two mobile devices with 5+ radios (2G, 3G, 4G, wifi, Bluetooth, NFC, ...) inside 5 cm from each other yet they can't easily talk directly to each other in a user friendly way is such a fail!

So any effort to break this stalemate makes me very happy. :)
Apple enforces WebKit, not Safari. You can set Firefox as default on iOS. The only problem is that it’s WebKit-based.
Exactly. Intuit gets a list of and intro to all of mailchimp's customers.

Which alone is probably worth a substantial amount of the purchase price in advertising / sales time equivalency.

Intuit is also pivoting themselves to being a data aggregator, who sells products powered by that (see: Mint purchase). And they seem to realize that whoever owns the collection point wins (see: Google). Consequently, mailchimp gets them a durable product and data coverage of a difficult to target and lucrative market (SMB).
Intuit has a stack to send invoices and receive payments from customers via email. Mailchimp has a stack that allows non-technical users to create complex emails, lists, track opens and responses. Together, this would allow a small business to build and monetize an email list of customers. They are creating an ecommerce channel via email to augment/compete with web stores.

Probably not anytime soon, since in less than a year, they will be able to own the cinemas.
But now that these laws are on the books, the existing owners of dealerships actively lobby the state legislators to keep this as the status quo and reduce competition. The dealers, and lawmakers, hope that Tesla will give in and start selling through existing dealerships.
This is wrong, reservations or tribals lands are sometimes within the greater MSA of some cities or otherwise adjacent to populous areas, (Tulsa is the most prominent example, Kansas City, south Florida Miami area, Mobile AL, Charlotte NC to list a few). In the context of the dealership laws, these are significant exceptions.

Of the 10 states with outright bans on manufacturer sales, all but Texas and West Virginia have tribal lands that theoretically could be used as a helpful loophole to this protectionism. Maybe not always Tesla’s the first choice of location, but a 50 mi drive beats a 300 mile drive, and sufficient to break the teeth of these laws.

Please dont be dismissive of “flyover states.” The lack of dealerships and service centers certainly impairs the sales process, and then California’s extremely generous (and unnecessary?) EV incentive gives many people from other states an incentive jump through some hoops and papering to purchase and title their vehicle there.
That line was indeed funded by Congress. But it was a failure, eliciting zero interest from the public, and little to no use. After 3 months the line cost $1859.05 to run yet revenue was $193.56.

The next line was funded when Morse partnered with Amos Kendall forming the Magnetic Telegraph Company. It built lines from New York to Philadelphia, Boston and Buffalo. Receipts for the first for days on the NY to Philadelphia run was $100. And the telegraph was off and running.

2 years later there was 2,000 miles if wire, and another two years added another 10,000 miles.

The government line proved to be irrelevant, not crucial.

Wow, the salaries look very meh, especially considering there's no equity. They must have really good work-life balance or something.
as a data point I know somebody in Canada who bought a 12 year old mazda3 with 230,000 km on it for $3500, drove it in BC for two years, and sold it for the same they paid for it.

by far their biggest cost was the liability insurance.
What a lad, thanks!
This is a misunderstanding. Amazon and AWS use "tenets" as a tool for focusing and aligning a team on what it values. The Rust Principles are an application of that tool for the Rust project, not adopting the exact same tenets that teams at Amazon/AWS use. See this 90 second video for a quick rundown of how tenets are used.

(Disclosure, I'm an Amazon employee and am familiar with how Amazon uses Tenets for teams)
Isn't "excess deaths" the most reliable number?

The problem being that it's a lagging indicator.
I imagine its a fairly difficult undertaking nowadays. Your best bet is to probably use Mailgun or similar for the actual sending and let them deal with the reputation management headaches
Hackers allegedly gained access to a large dataset belonging to Epik
If my count is correct, that's a full half of states in total. And the states in the second group are all large enough that it's a meaningful limit to be only allowed a handful. For comparison, there are 7 Toyota dealerships just between the Denver and Boulder Colorado areas (using their "find a dealer" tool makes it hard to be more thorough than that).

Not just jobs, but also sales tax revenue. Cities have their own sales taxes and/or get a cut of the overall take. Better to have that come from a local business to maximize your take.
> In March 2021, we examined the phone of a Saudi activist who has chosen to remain anonymous, and determined that they had been hacked with NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware. During the course of the analysis we obtained an iTunes backup of the device.

> Recent re-analysis of the backup yielded several files with the “.gif” extension in Library/SMS/Attachments that we determined were sent to the phone immediately before it was hacked with NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware.

Seems like they originally examined the phone in March, but recently did another analysis, during the course of which they discovered the exploit and reported it to Apple.
> I never said it does.

When you frame the problem as "inequality", you are saying it does.
The word "Eliminate" has an epidemiological meaning and it is not up to you to interpret it into some other word.

Eliminate revolves around the strategy of stopping viral spread in a given population until there are no new cases. That population in this case is NZ, not the world.

Anyone have recommendations for building and sending simple "family update" types of emails? E.g. lots of pictures of kids and such and life/activity/plan updates every couple of months? Primarily just want a decent WYSIWYG/photo editor and assured deliver-ability. I have used MailChimp for this for many years now but have been meaning to move away from it for a while anyway since it's not really the right tool for the use case anyway.
The issue is probably touchy. It may not be possible to share "objective" facts with the public. This unfortunately makes it harder to differentiate it from FUD or another instance of open source drama.

The thread starts with a (vague) statement against Amazon trying to expand its control on the Rust project.

It later ends up being a spat between rust team members (who aren't a part of Amazon) on the role of the Core team.

I feel Steve does not have enough support among the members of the rust teams for whatever he was going for with this. The derailing of the discussion also makes it seem as if there are other issues at play.

Sadly, this may end up amounting to nothing more than burnt bridges.
