I accept that I should have been more careful in my wording. I intended to comment that having an open source ISA that you could create processors for is a huge step in creating competition.

If someone wants to compete with Intel they would have a hard time even if they make an excellent processor since they are unlikely to get a x86 license. With arm you have to pay licensing fee and control of the Isa is still with a private company.

With risc v you can make your own processor and have a good shot in market. You will also have a chance to have a to propose/comment on future ISA changes.
6.2 million, as cited in that article, would be about 1.8% of the US population.

It’s a hierarchy… so you can take your pick of granularity? Only thing that matters is min, max and step-size.

Unless we’re talking about different things, I’m not clear why we’re not assuming the tool you remember chose h10 or whatever level was actually useful to it, where the visualizations chose h5
Wait, that can't work; it's comparing against a counterfactual. Let's say Hacker News gets markdown. Also COVID disappears at the same time. GDP goes up by 1%, but maybe that's because COVID is gone. How do we know what GDP would have done if Hacker News didn't get markdown?
Jonathan Pollard, though? It definitely varies.
I come from a country with rather _interesting_ views on what should be allowed online. 451 is used often enough that I've seen it in the wild more than once (and consider yourself lucky if you haven't encountered it...).
> If GDP does in fact go up over that 1 year, people in the "Yes please" pool make money. If not, they lose their bets.

Who do they lose their bets to? If the answer is the money is just set on fire or some equivalent (which I think is actually a mechanism we should use more of when it comes to things like fines), where does the money come from if they win?
You'd be surprised. When I started my career in medical devices, we specifically based our product on Windows & C++ in part because it was a well-known platform and we would have no trouble finding developers. That system, and its descendents ran on off the shelf single-board Windows PCs.

There is a lot of medical equipment out there that's running Windows. FWIW, I have one next to me right now that uses Linux for its UI.
I agree factory farming is terrible but this wasteful and gruesome killing is also terrible.

Definition of vegetarian diet might be a bit stretched here.

Either way you don’t condone killing all deer in a certain forest, do you? So much “game” that there won’t be any one healthy animal left?

People communicate to say things that they think are important. We should not be surprised when a medium that allows more broadcast-level communication becomes dominated by those things rather than "how was your day?"

Ads are a canard. The earliest non-ad-driven social networks: USENET, mailing lists etc, had the same problems.
This is just three years before Jennifer Ringley created the concept of a "camgirl" with JenniCam. The information superhighway, as it were, really was the wild, wild West in those days.
Do explain.

Edit: I've been clear about my reasoning; you have just resorted to ad hominem attacks on my understanding or emotional intelligence. If you don't have any actual counterargument, I'll consider the debate to be over.
Yes, experienced smart developers can make dumb mistakes, but this is pretty dumb. More importantly, it's the type of thing that should have been caught in a pull request or with a test, if not immediately after writing the code in question. Their process is severely lacking if a basic auth bug of this nature got through to production.
Facebook does most of their experiments by rolling out changes to a smaller subset of users. The number of guinea pigs is much smaller.

I was investigating GUN for a project last year. The core developer, Mark Nadal, is really inviting and responsive. The project does a good job of publishing numbers and research to prove the technology is a viable option to classic centralised architecture that developers are currently paid to produce. Definitely worth a look.
Looks nice.

Actually I’d like to find something that is even more developer-to-developer centric with a tendency to post jobs that are defined through programmatic interfaces or placeholder projects that when complete, the sponsor would take over and finish. I realize you could do this through your site but there is a critical mass piece where people expect this kind of thing because there are examples or templates.
> Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia has ties to the coal industry, and he told CNN he won't vote for the package. He argues utilities already are moving away from coal, so it doesn't make sense to "pay companies to do what they're already doing."

It's not the blatant self interest and lobbying that I find most offensive, but the need for these politicians to make up such silly lies and the gullibility of the constituents who accept them.
Very interesting! I noticed a similar phenomenon in the GIS space. All of my colleagues with formal training in GIS use ArcGIS and its Python API, but those without such background gravitate towards FLOSS solutions.

I am aware of only one case where a community migrated to other software. Many economists I know switched from Stata to R. Some of them later moved on to Python.
What's the security issue though? Not disambiguating filenames and user names in URLs for the site? That's a hard problem to fix after the fact, which is why we call it a Rookie Mistake.

It's hilarious we're using the actions of microsoft as an example of opensource failing.
Legally, it depends. The term you're looking for is "criminal conspiracy". In US law this is, roughly, an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime, and at least one of the people commits an "overt act" in furtherance of the crime. In the case of these officers, and in your two hypotheticals, there is an overt act taking place. An overt act does not need to be illegal, it just has to be an action taken to assist in the planned crime. For instance, buying ski masks is perfectly legal, but if you bought ski masks in preparation for your bank robbery, that counts as an overt act. But is there an agreement to commit a crime? Generally speaking, in the company-offering-services example, if you did not know the other party was going to commit a crime, and a reasonable person in your position wouldn't think the other party was planning to commit a crime, you are not engaged in criminal conspiracy. There's tons of special cases and nuances here, but that's roughly what happens.
It used to be done for passenger car tires. A quick search says one can still find recapped tires if determined. But why isn't it more common, when it was common about 40-50 years ago? Well, that time began to approach the time I spent as a mechanic, and the reason was cheap, imported tires that were starting to come out of Asian factories. I can sell you a retread, or you can have a brand new tire from some off-brand for about the same money, and guess which was chosen more often?

This link seems to line up with what I remember from 40 years ago:

Seriously, though, it just feels apropos.
I posted this, but I completely disagree that EBooks are terrible. That they aren't for everyone is clear. Dismissing it as "not reading" is just .. wrong.
I could say the same about punctuation spacing. For some reason, I see this mistake a lot in some places like Quora (which is popular in India): "Putting the space before punctuation ,like this .It drives me nuts .How could anyone ever think that is correct ?"

Also, French conventions like putting the dollar sign after the amount (123$), or spaces in between all punctuation, like you used in your first sentence.
Haha yes it keeps going round and round
Germany is the example I know. The individual performance aspect in compensation is very small. High performers tend to go freelance where they can make multiples of what they'd make as employees, because they don't want to provide three times as much value as the average employee for 10% more money.

Companies understand the game, and hire them as contractors. I've seen that play out multiple times: quit your job, come back as a contractor, make twice as much after taxes. I've seen the reverse as well: when freelancers want to "retire" but want to earn money for a few more years, they seek regular employment and coast by.
I think a lot of people confuse 'productivity' and 'organization'. A considerably large number of people lack organizational skills, especially so when working remotely, or running their own business—it's a lot of hats to wear.
> This may be an accurate description of your personality, in which you're one in a million, or it may be that you're ignorant about the things that actually drive you. The vast majority of people are driven by some kind of desire for fame, recognition, status, upvotes, and so on.

Or it might be that people who are driven by fame and recognition are more likely to become famous than those who aren't, which skews our idea of what motivates people. Given how emphatic society is about fame and money as markers of success, I feel people tend to be mistaken in the other direction: many people think they are, or should be driven by fame or money even when it simply contradicts their personality.

Even if it was indeed the case that most people are motivated by fame, I think those who aren't are more like 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 than 1 in a million. It might be 1 in a million in actually famous people, but not in the population at large.

> Even in proper context, they were exceptional geniuses, just among other, lesser-known, exceptional geniuses.

If I am correct that millions of people had the capability, that would place "exceptional genius" at 1 in 1000, or 1 in 10000. I think that's a reasonable ballpark.

> If we take your view seriously, we remove all human agency and uniqueness, we remove the idea of an "achievement" and we can only give credit to luck, the historical process, and various contingent circumstances.

Whether we acknowledge exceptional geniuses or not, it remains the case that 99.99% of people are not exceptional geniuses. Are you saying these people don't have agency, or that they aren't unique? I think we all have agency, we're all unique, and we all have achievements. Some achievements are more impactful than others, some achievements are more impressive than others, but these are not necessarily the same, and neither is necessarily remembered, because what matters most is not the person or the achievement, but how the story fits in the narrative. In any case, you don't need to care about that narrative to care about or acknowledge agency, uniqueness or achievement.
I agree that hunting is better than farming, generally. (Not in all scenarios. I would not want to be hunted to exhaustion over a long period of suffering.)

We are farming pigs and guaranteeing a supply. We are not farming dolphins. There will eventually be as many as mammoths.
When compared with the risk profile of covid for these age groups, it tells a very different story than you are suggesting. For older groups the risk of covid hospitalization/death is much higher. For the younger, especially under 18, the risk in this table is much higher (than the risk for COVID complications). Also keep in mind this is just one vaccine complication of many, and that the complications reported in VAERS are incomplete.
Should employees also forego income to enjoy their share in a company’s losses?

Their FAQ (downloadable from https://michelinmedia.com/michelin-uptis/) does address this:

> 21. What will happen if some small stones or mud or snow get in between the structure of Uptis?

> The objective during the development of the commercial product is to test Uptis in all of these situations. Some preliminary tests show that stones, mud or ice/snow will not stay inside the Uptis structure.

Obviously preliminary tests aren't anywhere near enough to prove it's a nonissue, though.
Humans are also the only living beings to go to space. Humans do a lot of things other animals don't do.

Why drink milk? Because it was beneficial at one time to do so. Milk is a very nutrient dense food, if you were a member of a nomadic culture you'd want food sources you can bring with you, and nutrient dense ones. Many people in the modern world are descended from nomadic groups who consumed milk, so it is a cultural trend that sticks around.

I believe it is still beneficial to use dairy products but I don't do it very much because I don't like to keep foods that require refrigeration if I can help it.

That's what I called it just before I deleted Twitter and Facebook.

I made a dummy Twitter account to be logged into, that has no friends, just to be able to see links people post. There's no such thing as a dummy Facebook account and I've not looked at anything on Facebook since. The only account there is their shadow account on me, something Twitter has no interest in doing, and which Facebook must do so it can accurately assign accounts to every living human and avoid dummy/sockpuppet accounts.
Or gitlab.com/dashboard. GitLab, GitHub, etc already have a need to reserve specific usernames (like `org`, `settings`, `projects`, `new`, `explore`, `marketplace`, `help`, ...). Since you already have to blocklist specific names not containing extensions, I really don't see how banning extensions help them.

Hopefully we'll know more once their security ticket becomes public.

That's an extraordinary claim. Source?
“….we will begin by trying to understand the architecture of the Web—
what it got right and, occasionally, what it got wrong, but most importantly why
it is the way it is. We will learn how it allows both users and search engines to
co-exist peacefully while supporting everything from photo-sharing to financial
transactions.
We will continue by considering what it means to build a program on top of
the Web—how to write software that both fairly serves its immediate users as well
as the developers who want to build on top of it. Too often, an API is bolted on top
of an existing application, as an afterthought or a completely separate piece. But,
as we’ll see, when a web application is designed properly, APIs naturally grow out
of it and require little effort to maintain.
Then we’ll look into what it means for your application to be not just another tool for people and software to use, but part of the ecology—a section of the
programmable web. This means exposing your data to be queried and copied and
integrated, even without explicit permission, into the larger software ecosystem,
while protecting users’ freedom.
Finally, we’ll close with a discussion of that much-maligned phrase, 'the
Semantic Web, and try to understand what it would really mean.”
Unfortunately this isn't strictly true anymore (and hasn't been for a few years). All areas of surge have a quadratic fall-off zone around the high point to solve just this. You'd have to walk some distance for this to be helpful.

It may work near a major avenue or political boundary or an event like a parade where there are "dispatch walls" set up or where there are two city areas that meet - think Reno / Tahoe.
Technically I think both parties would be guilty of murder, but that's specific to murder charges. For instance, getaway drivers have been charged with murder because the robbers they transport shoot someone.
I think this book appears to be more about the STAR method right? I don’t really know if storytelling can solve 8 30 minute leetcode problems for me, but I guess maybe I can silver tongue my way out of having that many technical interviews in the first place? I guess I don’t see how this relates to the technical difficulty increase in interviews I was talking about.
This assumes that the market is actually opaque for both parties. The information asymmetry between employer and employee regarding wages is pretty well documented. There are other pressures on wages in particular: not filling a position for 6 months usually hurts an employer less than an employee not having a job for that same amount of time.

People who hated this might also hate: fattened buntings ("Fettammern" in german - this is not our tradition/culture, I want to add!). There is no article on this practice in the english Wikipedia, so here is a DeepL translation of the german article:

"A fattened ortolan is called a fat bunting.

The ortolan, a songbird about the size of a sparrow, is captured and fattened in the dark or after its eyes are removed for about 14 days. The darkness confuses the bird's day and night rhythms so that it eats constantly. It then reaches about three times its original weight. It is drowned in Armagnac and cooked in fat in a special small pot.

To eat, the bird is placed completely in the mouth and chewed. While doing so, the eater puts a napkin over his head. On the one hand, the napkin is to keep the scent close to the mouth and nose, on the other hand, it is considered more mannerly not to bother table neighbors with the sight and the resulting noise.

Ortolans were considered a delicacy even in ancient times. Since the population of ortolans has declined sharply and the bird is protected as a species, catching and eating it is now banned in Europe. In France, consumption is nevertheless widespread in wealthy circles.

Alternatively, other smaller songbirds are prepared similarly, as they are easier and cheaper to obtain. Animal rights activists see this as cruelty to animals. Depending on the state, this may also be a violation of animal protection law.", from (german) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fettammer, translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

This was overall not a great company that gave two shits about their employees.

One possible option is to make ratings and pay public.

If you think your rating doesn't make sense, or your rating does make sense, but your pay is lower than people with much lower ratings - then you have a case to argue.

Of course - this could be just as nepotistic as the current system. But I think transparency is bad for nepotism long-term. Usually the most corrupt governments and organizations are the most opaque.

Developers aren't really that different from bakers.

You could bake 45 pies in 1 hour, and they could all be terrible pies that can't be sold, and you could burn down half the bakery in the process.

In the same way, a developer could ship a bunch of features, but they could all be "half-baked" and a nightmare to maintain.

You could also try to define metrics for what quality and productivity are. But people will just game that. Ratings can also easily be gamed or nepotistic.
