It’s the only species of spider known to live entirely underwater.
According to https://kanbantool.com/kanban-guide/water-spider:

> A water spider is a Lean production personnel role centered around timely and accurate stock replenishment. The water spider team member is similar to a mobile Kanban system that refills the production line with the required materials to maintain a steady flow.

Yep, happens in New Zealand on the regular.

It's well known that all the local Chinese language newspapers toe the party line, and Chinese community groups (especially Skykiwi) are infiltrated by the CCP to a rather large extent, and if you're overly critical, well, hopefully you managed to get residence visas for 奶奶 / nǎi nai and 姥姥 / lǎo lao beforehand.

Also, expect to be ostracised by the emigrant Chinese community.

Oh, and even if you're not Chinese, but you're critical of China, well...

> One must be really a hopeless ugly German to pay a woman from EE for sex.

Not really, if you are interested in obtaining paid sex you don't have much choice. Most of the brothels are staffed by EE sex workers, been that way for well over a decade. German sex workers are rare in brothels, they work mostly escort and camgirl stuff.

The problem at its core is extreme poverty in EE - not many job opportunities that pay decent wages, so many people from there come to the nearest wealthy country aka Germany. Men go on the construction/agriculture gig job scene, women to prostitution... it doesn't pay much and the conditions both of work and living are extremely bad (just google "Arbeiterstrich München" if you want newspaper reports on the construction gig workers), but even this is better than life in their origin countries. As a result, German workers simply can't afford to work in this environment.
Hey, this is a great question.

We are big believers in "shift-left" and trying to fix/avoid issues as early as possible.
We started with a CLI tool as it is agnostic and can be run in the devs IDE like VSCODE, in the terminal and finally in the CI/CD process.

We love OPA and think that GateKeeper is a good solution, but we want to provide feedback as early as possible. While Gatekeeper will block a deployment to the Kubernetes cluster at the end of the development process.

As a developer myself I would rather be notified for an issue as early as possible and not find our about it in the very last second before it goes live to production.

We might add support similar to GateKeeper in the future, but we wanted to be shift-left first :)

I hope this answers your question
Thank you
Agreed (and acknowledged above). I just think there are more people willing/able to pay a full lifecycle net price of $0 for that peace of mind than are willing/able to pay $20K for it.
Even if that was true, though, does that make it okay? Does that reduce the need to fight against it?
You – Stress Less: The Owner's Manual for Regaining Balance in Your Life
"The water spider is a term that refers to a specific person whose main job is to make sure that materials are supplied to where they are needed. While this is mainly a material replenishment position, it offers a bit more flexibility, and some additional benefits if well-implemented. The rationale behind having such a person is to allow the rest of the personnel to devote their full attention to tasks that add value to the process. This also highlights how much transportation waste and inefficiency exists in the process by isolating it all into one or more positions."

To be fair to Amazon, you can get to this page with just two clicks from the home page: https://www.amazon.com/alexa-privacy/apd/home

This assumes a lot of other factors, but I'd say they all converge.

You won't have high code quality without a motivated and competent team for instance. Same if they can't correctly scope their features or engage in long unplannable projects, etc.

I'd make a parallel with clean natural water: you can't have it in isolation, the rest of your environment needs to be functional to preserve it.
Reality is apart from few hundreds may be users, no one wants to pay for stuff.
WhatsApp costed a very nominal amount, No body in India cared until it became entirely free. So much that they favoured it over Indian grown app Hike messenger , which was much better Ux wise.
So you must find a batch of users who are willing to pay, and hire/pay a chromium dev to maintain your code base, or some similar business model. Where the devs don’t expect to become rich based on the project, an their only goal is to maintain a ungoogled chromium. Expecting a corp to do that is a wrong way to look into it.
We always used Zulu (GMT+0) to coordinate meetings around the globe, but this is a very nice approach to coordinate time differences. Daylight saving times are just way too chaotic around the globe, as every country does their own thing anyways.

One thing though: Different countries imply different work hours and laws/regulations.

For example, it is illegal to work more than 10 hours in Germany, so most companies stick to the 0800-1630 work time approach whereas the 30 minutes break is also required by law.

Something like this would be nice to represent in an overlap/border/chart(?) with colors for each location around the clock so that you can see where times could overlap if you e.g. come late in the office to start work.

The browser version is always already accessible, and even in future plans to reduce user agent info (https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5704553745874944) the major version number is never going to be hidden.

This API exposes zero new fingerprinting bits.

Meanwhile userspace solutions for the same solution are a) occasionally buggy b) not as widely used as they should be c) not as performant as they could be if implemented directly within the browser and d) not automatically updated as new browser features are released. Standardizing this will improve all of that.

It is valuable to standardize APIs and build them into the web for features like this where there's a clearly correct approach that's required by a large percentage of modern sites (anything with client side dynamic content). Having browser vendors implement this, embedded in the browser itself and supported by browser implementers directly, is a free security win for the web.

Haha, I guess it is obvious in hindsight. So New Zealand could've been UTC+11 instead of UTC+12 if the French had won that argument.
So yes, there is always going to be a fight for power in society, and people are going to find ways to buy power with money to the extent they are allowed. However there are ways to structure governance to limit the extent to which wealth can buy influence. For instance, I grew up in the states, and currently live in Germany, and while no government is immune to the influence of capital, having a multi-party system certainly does seem to lead to outcomes where the best interest of the people have a much better chance of winning out than you see in the states.

I also disagree with your reading of history that we're regressing to the natural feudal state of humanity, which was disrupted only by the world wars. I would argue what we have seen is more like a pendular oscillation between consolidated and distributed power structures, at least over the past several hundred years.

For instance, in France and Russia, ages of elite opulence, and disregard for the well-being of the general population gave way to violent revolutions which resulted in the redistribution of power, at least nominally, toward the population. Similarly, the gilded age in the US represented a massive consolidation of wealth in a few hands, and it eventually gave way to a labor movement which put more wealth in the hands of workers.

Since the late 70's at least, the neoliberal movement has been on the march to separate labor from their power and return it to the hands of the elite. We'll see if society manages to find some kind of equilibrium, but if history is any indication it seems more likely that some breaking point will be reached, and existing power structures will be torn down in favor of new ones.
Sounds bad, but imagine the warehouse manager would've helped the guy and gotten COVID-19! Can't risk that!
Reading the translation, at no point did the guy ask to simply take sick leave. I mean a good manager should tell him to do that but at the end of the day you should look out for your own health.

I've been using Brave Browser for almost a year already. I fallback to Chrome when I can't get through some Recaptchas: this is the only annoying thing on Brave, you get a lot of Recaptchas that are invisible on Chrome and some are impossible to solve.

I've also switched to Brave Search immediately when it come out. I'm satisfied with the search results I get for 90% of my queries, switching back to Google for the remaining 10%. My main problems with Brave Search are: 1. It doesn't have good localised results for non-english queries; here Google remains the best; 2. It doesn't have support for verbatim searching
We just released support for custom rules :) from interviewing our users, we decided to start with [0] JSON Schema as it is very easy to write rules using it and you do not have to learn rego.

Taking 5min out of my morning routine to create a throwaway so I can say this is blatantly false. Pre-K does not, in general, decrease educational attainment or increase criminality and high quality Pre-K does quite the opposite.

The Quebec study is an indictment against the poor quality of studied Pre-K provision, that's it.

The quote you pulled from the Vanderbilt study doesn't seem to exist. It's not in the linked paper, which actually states "The effects on the early literacy, language, and math skills of children who attended TN‐VPK were all statistically significant with gains ranging from 37% to 176% greater than those of children not in TN‐VPK." (pg 4).

Interested readers might find this report by the UK Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology useful. Loads of linked studies:
https://post.parliament.uk/the-impact-of-early-childhood-edu...

High-quality early childhood education (Pre-K) works really well, especially when combined with positive parent engagement. Rubbish early childhood education often doesn't work, and can lead to worse attainment than no early childhood education, again also dependant on learning at home. A reasonable assumption is that Pre-K/early childhood education is a garbage in, garbage out function - just like parenting.

Samsung, Intel eyeing orders for Mac chips
The use of denormals is always useful except when you want to make your program faster no matter what and your target CPU happens to be a CPU where operations with denormals are slower than operations with other numbers.

You must keep in mind that if you enable flush-to-zero and you really see an increase in speed, that means that you have now injected errors in your FP computations. Whether the errors matter or not, that depends on the application.

If you do not see any serious speed improvement, then you have no reason to enable flush-to-zero. Even when you might want to use flush-to-zero in a production binary, you should not use it during development.

Prior to enabling flush-to-zero it would be good to enable trap-on-underflow instead of denormals, to see if this really happens frequently enough to matter for performance and possibly to investigate the reason, to see if underflow could be avoided in other ways.

In conclusion using denormals is always useful, because it limits the errors accumulated during FP computation. On some CPUs you may get higher speed by not using denormals, but only if large errors do not matter. If you avoid underflows by other means, e.g. range checking of inputs, then it does not matter how slow the operations with denormals are, so there is no reason to use any option that enables flush-to-zero (e.g. -ffast-math).

Making a FP computation with "double" numbers and enabling flush-to-zero on that would usually be quite stupid, because if the errors do not matter, then that is a task for single-precision "float" (unless you need "double" only for the exponent range, not for precision).
You mean Numeration.890 xD

Mitchell Baker (Mozilla CEO) makes $3 million a year, and Mozilla asks you to donate "to help a nonprofit organization".

"On the same period, Firefox marketshare was down 85%. When asked about her salary she stated "I learned that my pay was about an 80% discount to market. Meaning that competitive roles elsewhere were paying about 5 times as much. That's too big a discount to ask people and their families to commit to."

"By 2020 her salary had risen to over $3 million, while in the same year the Mozilla Corporation had to lay off approximately 250 employees due to shrinking revenues. Baker blamed this on the Coronavirus pandemic."

This lady then goes on and on talking about "social justice".

Also Google deal produces 90% of Mozilla's revenue. I would say Mozilla is really controlled opposition.
How to split equity with part-time founder?
Hi all!

I'm trying to figure out how to split equity with my part-time cofounder. The business requires at least one of us (ideally both) to go full-time but he is unable to due to working visa for at least another 12 months, possibly 24 months.. In the mean-time he can commit 20 hours a week to the venture.

At the moment we are considering a 67:33% split with the option for him to reduce this gap if he joins earlier/ when he joins full time. Vesting schedules would be the same.

Does anyone have any advice on this? Anything would be appreciated. Thanks!
The gas will be fine, it'll not be flammable. German airships like Hindenburg used hydrogen because helium (that it was originally intended to use) was relatively rare and there was an export ban from the US (who were producing and holding the majority of what was available). Modern devices won't use flammable gasses.

The problem will be the heat for a different reason: changing the dynamics between the gas in the device and the atmosphere inside making buoyancy much more difficult to maintain. Also, the engines used to move them around might be susceptible to the same concerns as helicopter engines & blades.
It was more a comment about their ability to have parts replaced, but you're right that the analogy has many flaws.

There's also a huge difference between keeping something secret and keeping something private.

People close and lock the door when they go to the bathroom, but it's not like the rest of us don't know what you do in there. It's just private.

Just because there's nothing secret in what I do, doesn't mean that I necessarily comfortable with other people knowing.
Are they? I think our supply chains are showing how resilient we are. In the middle of a pandemic, I have safe food to eat. I have heat and lights. I have medicine. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

I don't think that this is what the person you're replying to meant..

For example, say you need to do matrix multiplication. What's more important, knowing how to do it and when to apply it or meticulously doing the whole computation without a computer?

I chose this example because it's nothing more than a focus exercise and as the complexity increases, the chance of you making an error increases too. Most people know what multiplication and addition are but there would still be a high chance that they make small errors due to not paying attention.

On the other hand if you come across this problem, know that you need to do this now and let the computer do the operation you decrease the chance of such mistakes.

The same is true for many other concepts... What's more important, knowing every system call by heart or knowing how to look up their documentation? No, the important part is knowing what system calls are and when you might need them, for the rest it's just about looking up information.

The thing is, you can study a lot of things so that you can do them by heart and it's just an exercise of remembering. But if you grasp the logics of something or start seeing patterns etc. that's ultimately more valuable. It's true for learning a language too.. of course you can learn everything by heart but if there are certain logical rules for how certain words are built up, those are more important.
No, but they're insanely famous! I didn't create a Twitter account for years because I didn't understand what it is; I only have one now bc I was forced to get to know it. You need to say why people should join.
Exactly this. I had so many colleagues that were always complaining to me about how they think our boss treated them unfair, and I always said "Don't tell me, just talk to the boss." There were two different managers who thought they need to scream at me, and both times I waited until they were finished screaming, and I just told them that if they would ever scream at me again I just turn around and go home immediately. They never screamed at me again but were continuing to treat some of my colleagues like shit and were still screaming at them for trivial reasons. People just need to understand that they need to stand up for themselves, and stop complaining to your colleagues or friends on how unfair life is, and that soon you will quit your job, this time for sure. :)
It's comparable to working in a butcher that specialises in pork. Clearly, the job would be unsuitable for a Muslim or vegan jobseeker. That's why the government website specifies suitable jobs and has an exception for a good reason not to do the job.

I agree with the general principle that not all labour is the same, but I don't think prostitution is in a class of its own. If you paid me enough I'd probably do it for a week and then retire.

Good for you, but this is not very objective. People were saying the same things about OO inheritance and and a bunch of other stuff which the industry have later become more skeptical towards. I'm not saying you are wrong about immutability, just that you cant show any solid empirical evidence that immutability improves long-term maintainability.
Perhaps there's some chip that has some functionality enabled by a logic input. The designer intended it to be off but KiCad tied it high or low or open to turn it on instead. That functionality might enable a serial interface or reading or writing some sensitive memory or whatever that might become a vulnerability.
Yes, and to add to your comment, in Germany the Employer is responsible for monitoring those 10h limits of its employees. If for example and employee would die in an accident due to falling asleep while driving after more than 10h of work, the employer can be held accountable.

Thank you for looking up that ROM, as I might want to try it out. However, you are also proving my point, even that ROM with Android 11 is still running the old 3.0.101 Linux kernel. You can see it in the video at the last row:

https://youtu.be/K_i29pczfRA?t=10

So congratulations to the guy who made it possible to run Android 11 with that ancient Linux kernel, even when Android officially doesn't support it. And to illustrate what I mean by ancient: Linux 3.0 was released in 2011 and got support updates until 2013 [1]. So even when CyanogenMod/LineageOS supported the Samsung Galaxy S3 the included Linux kernels were old as crap. You can't blame them for it, as they had little choice given that a few crucial drivers are not open source and included in the upstream Linux kernel.

I just wonder if anything has changed for modern devices?

> lets use Zoom as an example. its competitor

Zoom was started with over 40 ex-Cisco Webex managers and employees.

So not only did Zoom have a remarkable expertise base (and significant investment), they gutted Cisco of talent on the same product.

But it gets worse. I talked to an early Webex engineer, and he said that Cisco threw out their original roadmap after the takeover.
