> "In my experience, people don't read documents."

I think this is worth calling out for its own discussion. Along with the traditional use of "RTFM" meaning "go away and stop bothering me", any amount of dysfunction in a sytem or company can be tolerated as long as someone has written about it in a document somewhere.

Poor design? Buggy implementation? Complex configuration? Poor defaults? Missing features with inconvenient workarounds? Arduous processes? All fine as long as it's been documented. And any comments about voluminous documentation and "I couldn't find it" become point-scoring "I know where the needle is in the documentation haystack so I win".

And as a user or customer, the last thing I want when facing your system being complex and unintuitive is a mountain of documentation to go with it. That adds insult to injury - you couldn't make a good system and you've made more work for me on top. How often have any of you read some good documentation about the internal workings of a system and left feeling intrigued and surprised and impressed? Occasionally, right? And how often have you trawled through documentation saying things like "to change the username field, simply log into our admin website, click accounts, click usernames, click customize, then download the XML customization file from the available template files, make the necessary changes, and simply raise a support ticket for us to install the new file" ? A poorly designed feature with an awkward process, with parts where detail matters (content of the file) left for guesswork, but at least it's all documented.

I want my intuition (experience) to carry me almost seamlessly through your system, and if it has a short amount of clear documentation which helps me then I'm OK with that. If you want me to commit to trawling through books worth of content to learn things which are your own proprietary lock-in buzzwords around Rube Goldberg kludge designs, I'm not as OK with that.
Yet another reason not to buy a Tesla, or any car which does this.

Do we really want these kind of scores to determine our insurance rates, outcomes in the case of an accident and so on?

Insurance is obvious, but I won't be surprised if in the case of an accident arguments are made using such a score to determine who was at fault.

OTOH, I wonder if this is a precursor to Tesla launching its own car insurance program.
The issue is the signing of self-hosted dev builds being stalled.

It had always taken only a few minutes before I would get a self-hosted dev build to be signed, allowing for the dev build to be used by volunteers so as to be able to spot regressions.

I haven't been able to get a signed self-hosted dev build for 12 days now. This means I can't move forward with a stable Firefox release -- which is manually reviewed and is expected to take a number of days.

The signed self-hosted dev builds are required steps to keep releasing stable releases, and they are currently stalled for unknown reasons.
I flat out don’t believe you.
I disagree. These drugs do a lot more than change cholesterol.
What is causing the astronomical increase in rents in San Diego?
The rent for my old crappy apartment was originally $1,900 for a 2BR 2B. It is now $3,200.

My current apartment was $2,700. It is now listing for $4,000.

$4,000 used to be able to give you a brand new luxury apartment in La Jolla.

This all occurred in the past year, maybe even the past two to three months.

What has changed in San Diego? Why are rent prices so expensive now?
Oops, that was not an intentional spelling.
You do realize that this is an Internet forum and that nobody has been reported, right?

It’s incredible how we’ve descended from “someone pointed out that the author of TFA is a reactionary” to breathless analogies.

Yep, the good old adapter pattern.
> You seem to think that nuclear can scale from almost nothing to the hundreds of reactor per year that we need in a suitable amount of time.

I cite a previous example of a country starting several new reactors per year over a couple decades, with a mean build time of 6-7 years, and ending up with an electricity production which is mostly CO2-free.

It is not me thinking, or an hypothetical scenario, it's the history of France's commercial nuclear program between 1970 and 1990.

> There's a big contradiction in your two assessments here.[...]

> However, even with renewable's exponential growth to hundreds of GW deployed every year today, with exponential growth continuing from today, you seem to think it's not enough.

There's no contradiction. You simply chose to reframe my statement to make it say something else. My point is that despite "exponential growth to hundreds of GW deployed every year", countries with a strong wind/solar policy did not manage to curb their CO2 emissions per MWh to reasonable levels.

My concern is about the time it will take before these wind/solar policies have a significant effect on electricity CO2 emissions at the scale of a country. I don't really care about installed capacity.

So my point is, if 7 years is too long, what is a reasonable timeframe for effective CO2 reduction, and where did you see policies actually achieve that?

Why is it weird? What are you equating publishing a private sex tape with?
For me, the biggest surprise with Chrome Incognito mode was discovering that separate Incognito windows share cookies with each other.

I had been logging into accounts in an Incognito window, then opening a new Incognito window to visit other sites assuming they were new private sessions. One day I was surprised to find myself already logged in to someplace I visited, in a new Incognito window.

At that point, I discovered that much of my Incognito activity across the web for the previous few months was in fact tracked to my identifiable, logged in accounts. And that my multiple accounts (for work, other work, personal) were potentially being linked together, which I did not want.

For months I hadn't noticed because I tended not to open the same sites more than once. So I hadn't realised that cookie sharing was happening, which means cross-site tracking was happening.

Now I don't use Incognito windows any more. There's no point, they aren't what I expected.

Now I use Firefox Containers to segregate account logins and reduce unwanted profiling (e.g. with YouTube), and Temporary Containers when I want a new, ephemeral session.

Firefox Temporary Containers actually do what I'd mistakenly thought Incognito mode was for.
It looks like they're already rolling their own insurance program out: https://www.tesla.com/insurance | https://www.tesla.com/support/insurance, currently limited to California.
It's a frustrating state of affairs that this extension review process even exists ...

Of course we'll be called entitled whiners for demanding prompt customer service from an open source foundation which does this completely for free.

But then why does such an organization with such an offering lock it down with a mandatory capricious review process like Apple? What profit is in it for them?

It's to prevent the bad publicity which results from malicious extensions affecting thousands of poor helpless users. How repugnantly negligent would mozilla be considered by news commentators, to allow so many of their users to be violated so badly by their extensions!

But I can install any debian package I want from anywhere? Or download and compile a source tarball from anywhere? Use pip to install from pypi which is a free-for-all ... or from any tarball or git url? Even windows users can install arbitrary things!

I do find it surprising that there is trend for shady companies to try to buy out popular Chrome extensions to slip adware and then malware into them, this has hardly been seen anywhere else (except mobile app stores maybe).

Anyway, I would love a completely different solution: something easy and obvious in settings to disable extension lock-down, with whatever scary warning is needed to let the commoner know they will probably hurt themselves badly, if they can choose what software to run on their computer. Let this option be disabled by GPO for corporate-controlled workstations. Let third-parties provide "trusted extension registries", similar to adblock lists, with hashes of versions of extensions that have been checked by someone who is savvy enough to install debian packages, and can tell when a popular extension has changed ownership. Yeah I know this is unlikely, and again, I'm a whining entitled idiot for demanding anything from a benevolent organization providing open-source software at no monetary cost.

I think we just need an "un-mozilla'd firefoxium" ...
Cardiac symptoms take decades but CAC increase doesn’t take decades.
If you took a social network and split it into one network with everyone who has more than 50k followers and one network with everyone who has less than that, everyone would use the second one, because it would be the one with all their friends and family on it.

And then all the pop stars would move to that one because they're inherently the ones chasing the users, whereas dad doesn't want to install another app on his phone which means mom can't stop using that one and neither can you.

Not if a tech firm gets there first. Imagine the productive and legal power being in the algorithm.

In a way, this is a much better setup for artists and creatives. There isn't some giant licensing firm controlling your work. You simply buy or rent the best tools to make your work.

That said, it'll only be good for creatives and consumers if there is sufficient competition. And open source equivalents that still enable creation.
Ontario has historic plates ... lots of rules but generally what you just described.
No, it’s because end to end tests are non-deterministic with respect to execution time. They are deterministic only in their discrete states.

This is why all end to end testing involves polling to wait for asynchronous operations to complete, which is by definition non-deterministic.
Backwards. It’ll be an OS update that tells you your happiness score is nil, but you can start tracking it with the new iPhone. Then you’ll get nudges to close that Mood Ring by watching Ted Lasso.
I think it is true for people who have computer science/software engineering or any programming background, but for my statistician/data scientist friends - they skip a bit when they think they might need to learn a different language.
Are you out of your mind? Somebody violently grabbing the banner of a peaceful protestor is just one step away from physically assaulting that protestor.

If you don't see the obvious red line crossed there, you are completely detached from reality and want to protecter the attacker just because he happens to claim to be green (but hypocritically so, if he is also against nuclear energy).

Incredible, really.

Finally, yes it is a mob as nobody from the bystanders did anything to stop the attacker, tacitly agreeing with what he did.
Argumentum ad populum. The crowd is untruth.

Oversensitivity, low or no empathy, entitlement, control issues, holding grudges, passive-aggressive behavior, these are clear symptoms of mental illness, and unlike nearly all, of one that can be cured.

Here's some wisdom about marriage from Kahlil Gibran:

Give your hearts, but not into each

And the oak tree and the cypress grow
not in each other’s shadow.

This is creepy.
This argument does not account for the fact that all e2e tests are non-deterministic, so the quality of your “setup” is not relevant.
On a more general level, how can you even get close to reality if you want to estimate app downloads or in-app-revenues? Isn’t this complete guesswork with very very little reliability/validity?
It's pretty unlikely that Canada will fall for this sort of thing the second time. So once they are clear of US airspace they are pretty safe, but not entirely safe of course...
Can you do it without a legacy occulus account too?
I think it's fair to eliminate the stepped-up basis. At least that makes sense vs the "let's tax unrealized capital gains every year" idea. That makes no sense unless they also issue tax credits every year.

I'm guessing part of the reason the stepped-up basis rule exists is because people have stocks that have been inherited and the original purchase price is not known. How would they handle that?
My opinion is the same reason other topics of discussion in society become culture wars. Why do they really?

- Gay vs straight: religious and political beliefs
- Abortion: same reasons IMO
- Left vs right: politics that self propagate and stay in power with division

What what some other examples that we can try to isolate the causes for and extrapolate to here.

My opinion on the reasons for this theory being a culture war is the government and its predominate scientists have pushed a “hero” or “patriot” perspective onto one class of its citizens that if you’re not devoting your energy towards increased vaccine engagement or government policies towards containment of this virus you are doing something wrong. Everyone else is a villain or bad guy or extremist conspiracy theorist.
Read 1984 so many times and it still gives me chills whenever I read it again.
Worth pondering the extent to which anti-nuclear sentiment was funded early by big-coal money.
The demonstration is pro-climate protection. If the majority of the attendants is too dumb to see that nuclear mist be one of the pillars to protect the climate, that does not make it „anti-nuclear“.

It's American circus beauties. In the era of the freak show. If you are curious what made people talk about Circassian beauty back in the day, perhaps seek other sources.

Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circassian_beauty

> As a sideshow attraction, Circassian beauties were women with big hair, a reference to the teased hair they wore, held in place by beer. Circassian ancestry was not required as in this example.

What about changing existing features, or removing them?

Can that only be done every two years?
This is what’s known as “counterintuition.” You would think that you could, but you are wrong.

I’m not saying you can’t write a passing end to end test. Of course you can get it to pass some times. But they are inherently non-deterministic.
Great point. It’s a solvable problem, at least using code audits (since it’s client side)
There are - golf carts. They don't have the same sex appeal as a sports car, but in the many communities in the US where those are considered street legal, they are flourishing! They usually don't have doors and have a low top speed, but make for great third or fourth cars. Their top speed is low and limited by the law, though the laws that I've seen only specify what the top speed (often 35mph) but not how long (or how quickly) it takes to get there.

Many are still on lead-acid batteries (36V or 48V) but you didn't specify battery chemistry. :)
I think that's just the training requirements. For simple TXDNE sites, you don't need so much as a single GPU as you can pregenerate them all.
Look at it this way. Imagine you are using a paint program, and want a purple, magenta, or violet. Maybe you are drawing a rainbow, and want that violet that you see when you see a rainbow in real life.

How does the monitor represent that? By somehow generating a very short wavelength of light, that appears purplish?

No of course not... it does it by lighting up both the blue subpixels, and the red subpixels. There are no violet subpixels.... that would be a waste of money to make a monitor that actually emits that wavelength as a separate subpixel. Your eyes don't care... they see it as purple.

Another thing that could help you understand this is by looking at how yellow works. Yellow can be formed by a single wavelength of "yellow light", such as a yellow laser. But it can also be formed by mixing pure red and pure green light. Again, your eyes don't care, it is yellow either way. (in most real world situations, such as a typical yellow reflective object, it is formed by a whole range of wavelengths ranging from red to green).

You are making this more complicated than it needs to be. Basic color theory, including the cyclic nature and the way purple is between red and blue, does not need the "left hump" for it to work. You should try to understand how RGB works first, then later learn how the quirks of the human visual system affect it. Another interesting thing is that the peak sensitivity of the "red cones" is actually in the yellowish green area of the spectrum, but our brain does some post processing, so to speak, to make it so we can perceive actual red.

I don't know where I got the image of the chart, you can reverse image search it. Not sure why the left hump is not shown on the one on wikipedia.
From the link it appears to be available in the Microsoft store. If you're on Windows already, is that a problem?
> I deliberately train my feeds not to have news-type content because once I've read the news, I don't need to see it popup in my feeds again throughout the day.

Sad that we have to train the feed on our apps to be more positive. I'm happy that you found a way to beat the system but I believe some people do have a negative relationship that feels "out of their control" with their phones and the internet. I think apple wants people to always have a positive relationship with their devices and promoting healthier habits on their devices is a step to keep iOS users happy.
No, I'd argue that there's basically no use case for email beyond stuff that you want the other person to be able to ignore.

Glory to sentiment analysis. Glory. I am a proud machine learning engineer.
Simdjson 1.0 Released
When I try to visualize 3 types of sensors (without left hump), I get a straight line not a triangle - that is technically still a (zero area) triangle, but inherently NOT "cyclic".

Looks like you are mixing together magenta (red+blue) and violet (shorter wavelength than blue) - those are physically very different colors, but perceived by human eye as being the same / very similar. And the only explanation for that perception (= the reason why colors form a wheel) is that "left hump", nothing else

It's not the probability of any specific configuration, but the probability of a specific configuration over any other particular configuration.

All configurations could have an infinitesimal chance of occurring, but one configuration could still have a billion to one chance of occurring over another particular configuration.

Which is especially relevant if we have a relatively recent basepoint of comparison.

An infinite number of monkeys with typewriters might eventually reproduce Shakespeare, but 10000 monkeys doing it on their first try points to causation beyond "chance".
https://github.com/jftuga/gofwd

I created gofwd, a cross-platform TCP port forwarder with Duo 2FA and Geographic IP integration. Its use case is to help protect services when using a VPN is not possible. While it's use cases are limited, it works great for me when I need to connect to my home network.

The overall elegance of this solution is that no additional software is needed. As long as you are within your predefined geo-ip location, have your phone, and know your hostname/ip address (and port number), then you will be able to access your system remotely.
UCLA has been working with them for quite a while on this:

It's creepy in a way, but monitoring activity and expressions could result in some valuable insights about warning signs, habits and such. My guess is Apple is just wondering if it can snip out something clinically viable from the part that relies on its hardware. Doesn't mean it's a great idea, but this is part of a larger science push.
I figured, but I still like it! :)

How is it complicated?

If an API existed yesterday, and it does the same thing it did yesterday, you're fine. If you don't like how it works, add a new one and use that. You just can't take the old one out, or change how it works, without providing significant advance notice.
> I don't want to offer myself as CTO. Their current CTO is great, isn't experienced

Frankly, I think you should forget about this company and move on.

Everything about your post suggests that you think you know better than the startup, including their CTO. The fact that you would even consider bringing up the possibility of replacing their CTO is a sign that you don’t actually respect them or their team. There is no place in a startup for someone who believes themself to be superior to the management team.

If you’re not interested in taking the pay cut and you don’t even respect the CTO’s abilities, there is no place for your at the startup.
No, there are RCT that show taking a drug which has the effect of lowering LDL, among many other effects, reduces heart disease. There is no proof that it’s LDL and not something else. And it’s not a coincidence that drugs that help heart disease have intersections with diabetic pathology.
The point of crypto locked controllers made by and for the manufacturer's console is that tampering will cause the device to refuse to run. Which leaves you at a robot to physically manipulate the device as I said. Since it doesn't have to be an standard like HDCP, this can be locked down pretty well like the xbox one is. [0]

At that point the barrier to entry would be so annoying that online cheating will be reduced significantly, and pro tournaments will be done in person to let you prevent usage of robots. Also everyone will be using the same equipment probably provided by tournament organizers.
