If you want to get pedantic about it, "Lego" is a brand, used as an adjective; the toys made under that name are Lego bricks (stylized by Lego Group in official material as "LEGO bricks").
Reading this made me remember that "Turbo button"...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_button

> With the introduction of CPUs which ran faster than the original 4.77 MHz Intel 8088 used in the IBM Personal Computer, programs which relied on the CPU's frequency for timing were executing faster than intended. Games in particular were often rendered unplayable. To provide some compatibility, the "turbo" button was added. Engaging turbo mode slows the system down to a state compatible with original 8086/8088 chips.

I never had such a button in my PCs (first one was a 386SX) but I did see it on other PCs and always wondered what it did... => today I finally found that out :P
Yes, the article does have more information.

Is this boston dynamis' dog under a new name?
This is painting a rosy picture of history Bitcoin client consensus that whitewashes over events like the block size debate. Social consensus is required between core devs, miners and exchanges -- Bitcoin came out stronger from these events (far less catastrophic than The DAO), although it wasn't perfectly apparent at the time that it would.

I've never argued that Ethereum is more successful than Bitcoin, but you've continued to deflect any point where I've indicated that it has any merit as a network at all. Seems pretty irrational -- or purely agenda driven.
> If they really wanted to dispel things they'd let the pilots speak.

Perhaps via their official representatives, the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association?

How many pilots would you need to see interviewed to determine there wasn't a sick-out? After all, something like 70% of flights went ahead.
The JS API/environment was for “apps” that load in side-bar panes in Office 365’ desktop and web titles - it didn’t have access to the same COM automation API that VBA uses, let alone things like the local file system, registry (God-forbid), local network, etc.

The story is a bit of a mess, but VBA is still the only way to use the COM API and access local system resources: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/scripts/resource...

>Why are you listening to news media outlets? You just have to look at the reality of the situation. Wealth taxes failed.

This is indeed the prognosis you would assume consuming from those outlets. They might use subtle misdirection in order to achieve this.

>A "simple" tax that had popular support

It didn't sound like it was either one of those things, not that that would even be relevant even so since it wasn't a wealth tax.

>Sure. Its comically the same exact tax (down to the %) that Bernie Sanders (a serious politician) is proposing though

That was ~0.005%, not 0.5%. It was attacked vehemently by the financial industry/media on the basis that it wouldn't raise much in the way of money even though, of course, it wasn't supposed to (nice bit of misdirection). It was designed to kill off the largely parasitic HFT industry and leave regular old securities trading intact (unlike sweden's tax). It was a very well designed tax, actually, which is why a variant is used by Singapore and Hong Kong.

None of this, of course, has much to do with the 98% tax rates of the 1950s, which presaged some of the highest levels of economic growth America has ever seen, fomenting the true birth of the modern middle class - a class with money in its pocket. Or, a socialist/communist that wrecked the economy for decades to come. Depending on whom you ask.
> that Bezos didn't kill Shatner with this publicity stunt.

Makes my point that if things go well, Bezos doesn't deserve any credit. If things go badly, Bezos gets all the blame.

Personally, I'm pleased Shatner got to make this flight. It's a great capstone for his career. Thanks, Bezos & Blue Origin, for making this happen!
Does is sleep properly on lid closing? Even more specifically, can you enable S3 sleep from the Bios? Some newer laptops have things locked down so sleep doesn't work right on Linux, meaning the laptop dies after a few hours of the lid being closed.
Nuclear has basically three issues: Cost, Waste and Safety.

Cost is already a lost cause for the new reactors. No one making them expects to break even without subsidies.

For waste and safety, we'll see. But given it will take 40 years to tell and the last generations except the first were all sold as completely waste free and impervious to any incident...

This is the big issue with nuclear: it will take 40 years and billions of dollars to find out (and maybe some additional meltdowns and tonnes and tonnes of waste) to find out.

You have this whole other side where it is obvious both sides are misleading because to have a side means you are determined to spread and grow that side.

This president is sharing as much disinformation as the last president as much as China and as much as European and Canadian prime ministers. If you are only seeing the other side doing this you may be too close to one side.
Almost, the hub is still a bit more than 50m below but the rotor points above. Modern off-shore ones are true monsters.

Yeah, as skeptical as I am about a lot of this stuff (for one, I personally believe that the climate is too chaotic and has too many significant independent variables to model with much certainty), I've always cringed a bit at the people who insist that the leaders in the movement should all but stop emitting carbon. Certainly there is hypocrisy among those leaders who preach guilt and carbon abstinence, but there is a logical case to be made for pragmatism and focusing on the macro things rather than the micro details. I probably could word this better... but I think I've mostly made my point. :)

You're in for a treat if you buy this. You can swap the ports around using modules. So basically if you want different ports for your laaptop, you can do that without replacing the whole computer. You can even change them throughout day as needed.

The ports are all USB C - thing built in dongles that can be swapped.
Are you saying HN is evenly populated and has no main faction?

If so I'd like to direct you to any post which brings up income inequality, or anything about any of the FAANG companies.

Too many times has correct, factual information been greyed out.

Quite often I call out 'feels>facts', where correct info is dead/flagged simply for telling the truth.

For specifics you are welcome to peruse my comments, I like to comment when I find these occurrences to 'stamp' them for future use.
> It's never something we need to hide, but instead it's something we're eager to share with our teams - ala "hey, I did some research on X, and maybe this is something that could be valuable for us to try".

I'll give good odds that in most shops, if you pull this line more than a couple of times, your management chain is going to decide you aren't picking up enough work in sprint planning...
Watching this live, my thought process was "Wow, Jeff has no soul, and Shatner just had a good talk with his own."

Very interesting to see an old man's reaction to space, though. I can't imagine topping off a good life with that experience.
Fair enough, thanks for the response. Very easy to use and especially useful visualisations.
As tall as technically possible. For example Vestas V164 reaches up to 220 meters. Haliade-X reaches up to 260 meters.
I meant "hasn't happened" in that it hasn't happened on Spotify. I have no doubt that demonetization has happened on YouTube.

>JRE is the #1 podcast due to it format and content. Joe listens and let's guests talk. It's about them and not him. He learns too, he isn't talking about Ivermectin and Argentina since one of his guests informed him that study was shown to have flaws.

I'm not here to debate the finer points or merits of his podcast. It's not my cup of tea, but I respect the fact that many people enjoy his podcast greatly. I have no comment on the content because it's not super relevant to my views on this topic. All that matters is the fact that he is being "censored" (and I mean this in the social cooling respect) on YouTube, and not on Spotify.

I refer to him as the "creator" because ultimately, he decides if it streams on YouTube or Spotify or some other unnamed service. In that respect, Joe Rogan has the same relationship to a platform as any other classic content creator. The format or content of his podcast doesn't change that.

My point was that Spotify isn't "censoring" his podcast because if he was streaming on some other service, he'd get just as many viewers. This is because Spotify isn't the dominant podcasting platform like YouTube is for online video. It's possible that Spotify would choose to "censor" his podcast in a similar way if they were dominant in the podcast space.
Does anybody have good examples of 'extra' work they've done? I agree with the author's assertion that doing extra benefits one a lot more than baseline or more work. It's essentially a way to inject creativity and studying into one's normal work, as opposed to just flat-out working on a different project or straight up studying documentation. That comes with the benefit of being able to show it off in various ways that studying or a side project don't offer (value add, taking ownership, etc).

However one thing that I find challenging about the idea is what to do. I know that kind of comes down to asking "how to be creative", but if anyone has concrete examples of the kind of 'extra' work the author describes, that would be helpful as a model to use.
The marginal cost of storing a few years worth of spent nuclear fuel doesn't seem that high, as you have to find a place to store the waste already generated anyway. I for one would accept other countries spent fuel to be stored in Finnish bedrock. Might be hard politically, though.
... or I could just not buy the thing in the first place, find a way to reuse something else, etc.
As a Brit I'm glad you have taken these steps. Our political UK leaders are useless.
Don't you know?!: exposed mechanical or electrical parts of anything on a plane == bomb! (/sarcasm). Snark aside... the closest thing that I can think of might be something similar to a Kodak Brownie [1]. Still a far cry from a bomb, but the closest thing that I can think of....

If only the world was so black-and-white that you could look at all the negative impacts of an individual, consider none of the positive impacts, and conclude they are a bad person.
The people around me made the biggest difference. Its not hard to find ways to work with great people. Everyone needs help in some form or the other, in this complex ever changing world we live in, and if you are paying attention to what other needs, you can be of use to anyone. And once interesting, driven people find you useful, doors keep opening.
In this sense, yes, I agree with you. But a "100 foot marketing document" offers a certain negative connotation that reads like "no content, just fluff"; the content is there, and yes, it is biased, and yes, no competitors are mentioned.

I also agree with you on the fact that a "smarter" kind of content marketing would go beyond these limitations; it would mention competitors, or alternatives; and it wouldn't highlight its company's own services too much.

If someone from Sysdig is reading, these are suggestions for you, guys.
This article does a remarkably poor job of explaining what cosmic inflation is. I gave up halfway through when I realized it was never going to explain to me how "inflation" is different from "expansion."

> I don't see how it's possible without the support of the large tech players - Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Twitter, and Spotify at minimum, to say nothing of the long tail.

This wouldn't be much of a problem if it wasn't for Google's SafetyNet that prevents Android apps from running on hardware and software platforms that Google doesn't approve of. You wouldn't need support from large companies if you were able to run the apps they already release for Android.

Compatibility layers like Anbox or Waydroid that allow you to run Android apps on Linux can't run SafetyNet-enabled apps, despite having no problem running other Android apps.

SafetyNet prevents compatibility layers like WSL 1 & 2, Proton or WINE with Android support from coming to Windows or other platforms, as well.
> Rand implies that you have to do your own studies [...] which is 100% wrong - Facebook will do them for you

So FB, who earns on my spending, offers me to measure for me whether my spending makes sense for me. Why would FB ever tell me to spend less? Don't they like money?
The distroless static images are pretty good. It’s essentially scratch plus certificate authority roots of trust.
Yet, Finland is ok with operating nuclear plants, and is building a new one (still). Sweden likewise. Belarus and Ukraine were the ground zero, and the most impacted regions, yet you don't see anywhere close to the militant anti-nuclear sentiment as in Germany
> For the crime of making tens of thousands of people millionaires, providing people with what they want the world over, living the American dream, and hurling Shatner's body into the void?

Among other things, you forgot the part about scheduling people like machines to the point where they feel like their only option is to pee in bottles.

It's pretty easy to make any powerful person look good if you're willing to be shamelessly selective.
No worries, thank you for taking the time to write this comment. I must agree that this article is talking about a niche and surrounding ecosystem that may not be familiar to many readers. I try to write the articles in a way that is approachable to people who do not work in data analytics, but there is certainly a lot more I could do, especially for this article. It's a difficult tradeoff of making it accessible but also digging deep enough for those who have some familiarity. I probably get it wrong more than I get it right. Anyways thank you for your thoughtful feedback and have a great day.

That's not a walkout. That's one dude calling in.

LOL what are you saying? 1,800 flights were cancelled. Was that one guy flying like 200 planes simultaneously? The John Galt of pilots, no doubt.

See my comment on the other thread.
Scale brings both, headwinds and tailwinds. The outcome often hinges on how the balance of those two forces plays out.

Ecommerce example: every year the CPMs go up and your paid margin goes down. But every year you have a larger email list, so the balance of paid to unpaid shifts.

General example: every year you get more of the late-stage employees who care less and less about your company. But every year you can afford to pay for more layers of management, which will keep an eye on the underperformers.

This list goes on and on... The headwinds are driven by external forces, whereas the tailwinds end up working out based on your specific execution of the opportunities that present themselves to you. This is where an experienced operational team can make a huge difference.

> I think we've lost a bit of creativity in marketing.

You absolutely cannot rely on performance marketing forever. It's a shot in the arm until you have reached enough [fill in whatever you wnat] so that you can leverage that momentum to reach the escape velocity. So it's not good forever, but it's a great catalyst.
That's actually a great point and a downside to extra work. Maybe the middle ground would be to do extra work for fun and not bring it up, or just finish work early and work on something altogether separate on the side?
> I sincerely doubt you would, since I asked you for the citation and we're discussing moderation in this thread.

I will if I get assurances that I will not be penalized.

> In the absence of this, what is anyone reading your original comment to do with your assertion? Are we supposed to take some random internet person at their word?

Yes. Because it's an experience many shared. You've used this forum for a while now. You don't think there is a particular bent here? Noticed a lot of cultural posts that lean a certain way? No?

> Maybe you'll prove yourself wrong, and not be censored.

I was proven right many times already. Seems like you want to get me in trouble.

How about this, in a few weeks or maybe months, I'll get bored of HN and then I'll post it.

It's so funny people think that mods are beyond flamebait. Think about why you would want to be a mod? Especially a "tech/business" forum which is at the forefront of political/cultural issues.
I think my position is unique to others. A year after I started, my wife and I had our first child, so ensuring we had a stable and steady stream of income was my priority above all else.

Along with that, the company I work for has been good to me through the years. I've enjoyed working with my co-workers and the projects I work on. While I may be able to make more working for another company, I do think that the atmosphere and ethos of a company bring a certain amount of value that I would be trading off. I may be wrong, but I have no reason to think otherwise at this point.

I've always been self-taught, and always tried to be working on something on the side, so I believe that has allowed me to keep up with changes and try new things to scratch my itch of not being complacent.

When I first started working at my full-time job, I was the only developer working on my project and was entrusted with choosing the stack I felt could get the job done. It felt very early start-up in that sense. Shortly after that, I began working on another product that I'm still working on today, and wrote the main components in Go and some back office parts in PHP. To help support me being the sole dev, we had a few other devs come in and rewrite the majority of the components in Java because back in 2013, Go wasn't as widely used as it was today.

I'm thankful that for the most part I've always been able to choose the tech or libraries I want to work with, within reason. I try not to push it too much, for example we use MySQL and Redis primarily for data storage and transient storage, but part of our app does use Mongo and that was a direct result of me trying to hop on the bandwagon early on that I now do regret because Mongo provides us no benefit over MySQL.

If I do want to use some obscure tech to test out, then I'll use it for my own projects. If I feel comfortable enough then I'll use that for my client projects as well. Only if it's something I've battle tested will I see if I can use it in my primary job.

For the first time in 5+ years I am not developing a client side-project in PHP or Go, I'll be using Ruby on Rails, because I'm at the point that the stability of the toolset and my productivity outweigh any performance gains that may be had with Go, and these projects are primarily back office that won't be doing a ton of data crunching or have more than a dozen users using it at a single point in time.
If you take as a foundational assumption that the brand name in the search string means the traffic is in some sense owned by the brand, then you're absolutely right. It's essentially racketeering. Certainly brands often view traffic that way.

Personally I resist the idea that a brand owns my attention because I used a keyword, but that's one of my many personal quirks.
The electricity that is produced at night is sold cheaper in Germany, as it's mostly not used anyway - mostly because storage is difficult. But since the world is currently being filled with an abundance of large batteries like in electric cars, this energy loss will decrease over time. These batteries could also compensate peaks in demand.
> it's actually quite a reasonable argument *to make here*.

Yeah, but as you know Germany, and German discussions do not encompass the whole world, so you can certainly bring me points from specific countries, France or US could be other ones, but they also have their own idiosyncrasies

But as I was saying, the core argument for Nuclear decommissioning is not to compare it to the absolute worst energy generation scheme that exists, by that metric then I could mention that using PeatBog for energy generation is "not that bad an idea" compared to Coal.... Which is of course, an awful idea by itself....
> The other strange thing about the weather claim is it only affected SW for some reason.

Addressed in the article, and it'd be similarly weird for Biden's vaccine mandate to affect just Southwest.
It depends how accurately you can predict failures.

Take SpaceX's early days, the actual cause of failure #2 wasn't on anyone's top 10 list. Doing a post mortem has value, it lets you see if the shortcuts you take make sense.

> force you to be their friend also

Imagine going for a lunch with a group of coworkers, and then your boss joins you... because he is one of you, right?

Nope. Lunch is a precious opportunity to complain about the work (including your boss) with people who understand what you are talking about. Now the workers are losing even this trivial right.
The NAS-14V2 also worked on the ground - it had multiple modes (astroinertial [default], inertial, airstart and dead reckon). See 10A-17 and Figure 10A-4 in the manual. If you read the following sections it describes procedures for calibrating the system in the event of a rapid takeoff (where a fix wasn't available), for example the runway heading can be entered as a quick heading fix.

It wasn't particularly quick, mind - up to 96 minutes for the full ground procedure. They also talk about calibration in hangars, which is important because you don't want your secret spyplane sat on the apron for satellites to see for over an hour!

There are some interesting tidbits in there. The tracker automatically compensates for shockwave and thermal gradients over the sighting window, for example.
So, learn on the job. Why we do not have the same learning time that doctors. Time to learn, time to go to conferences, time to share knowledge with colleagues.

It would indeed be a next-level conspiracy theory to suggest the NSA planted an employee at Apple to introduce a GameCenter bug that lets you read a cache of contacts, rather than, you know, just taking the whole device over, which is what "zero day" usually implies.
