Well, this was back in the dark ages. Nowadays I'm sold on the notion that we shouldn't be running ad hoc stuff against the live prod database at all.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but I'll bet there are more temptations than solid reasons to do so!
> And then again optimized thermonuclear weapons

Here in Blighty, during the early cold war we built fall-out shelters and equipped a civilian force with "Green Goddess" fire engines to enable them to extinguish fires from nuclear flash.

Yet this all stopped after development and adoption of the Hydrogen Bomb..... because unlike nuclear weapons (kT yield), trying to defend against thermonuclear weapons (MT yield) is pointless. This was a very real and honest defence policy.

[In the UK, some younger people may recognise the Green Goddess Fire engine because they were seen during fireman strikes].
I wouldn't be surprised if the price went up if it became popular at its price. Definite Veblen good vibes.
interesting how the natural immunity crowd surged in April/May (a nice normal distribution) while the vaccinated crowd is surging in July/August, near the tail end of the survey.

given the decreasing efficacy of vaccines over time, it's disappointing to see the same old "6 month" cut-off, as well as no regard for normalizing over time.

Who actually runs Centos 7 ( Kernel 3.10 ) for benchmarks in 2021? Run something recent like Ubuntu 20 + KVM, you will see big difference. I don't beleive modern virtualization has ~20% overhead ( it should be less than 5% ).
This feels like cherry-picking. There are non-neuter ways to refer to kids, including in those languages. Also, the diminutive (at least in German) is neuter, and is often used with children. Some of these terms are specifically neutral (i.e. not "boy" or "girl"). So the reasons are much more likely linguistic than ..sociological.

There are two aspects to this: On the one hand, you could say that the feminine designation has higher specificity, since there's always also the generic masculinum. On the other hand, the latter also expresses or implies a general expectation. (So what aspect you focus on is probably some marker for the current discourse.)

>The Ixia client sent a series of HTTPS requests, each on a new connection. The Ixia client and NGINX performed a TLS handshake to establish a secure connection, then NGINX proxied the request to the backend. The connection was closed after the request was satisfied.

I honestly struggle to understand why they didn't incorporate keepalives in the testing. Reusing an existing TLS connection, something done far more often than not in the wild, will have a dramatic positive effect on throughput.

> Toyota fixed the major problem with Tesla’s wheel by introducing its “wing-shaped” steering wheel with a steer-by-wire system enabling what Toyota calls a “one motion grip”: Lock-to-lock is set at around 150 degrees.

I’ve always assumed most cars have mechanical steering with power assistance, so they’ll work in the event of a power failure. But a Lock to lock of 150 degrees sounds like it would be impossible to move even if there is a mechanical connection from steering to wheels.
Can you really say those were dropped in anger? From what I’ve read they were dropped to avoid the cost to American lives a ground invasion would bring. Several warnings were given to Japanese leadership to avoid a bad outcome, which were not heeded. The first bomb itself did not result in a surrender either. To me the motivation was less about anger and more about practicality.
It's stupid, man, it's universally stupid.

My opinion is a name change is just that. You can also put a Ferrari body kit for a Pinto, but it’s still a pinto. Name change is just them trying to dodge their own brand’s untrustworthiness.
What you describe is mostly a political decision that effectively subsidizes the mutual fund, broker and financial planning markets and the broader equities (and to a lesser extent, fixed income market) to the benefit of...you guessed...people who already own it. Pension funds invest in many of the same things everyone else invests in, directly or indirectly.

The difference is now you have millions of amateurs with small sums versus a few hundred professionally managed institutions. Either way, the little guy loses.

This blog post seems to get some fundamentals wrong.

Alphabet is just a holding (that's also why the name is rather boring), Google didnt wanna damage it's on brand by rebranding everything. There is no need, its positive and people like it.

Facebook tries to distract from its negative press to give the company an entire Facelift.

Many people are already updating that they work at Meta and not Facebook anymore on LinkedIn - quite interesting to observe.

Most Googlers or people working at one of the Alphabet companies would proudly state they work at Google to this day.
It doesn't seem you are being very intellectually generous to the smart people who have come to different conclusions. Crypto doesn't meet my needs but I understand how someone with strong views on monetary policy, government, institutional trust, etc will see value there.
" we pay really attention to performance and it's a dream"

Does this include in low-connectivity environments? The biggest advantage of api-driven PWAs is that it supports no-connectivity and low-connectivity nicely, assuming you put effort into enabling it (having an offline cache of data) and having loading indicators visible to the user. With a regular page-load-driven application, if i'm on 1 bar of 4G I might get the TTFB for a page load and then be waiting as page assets slowly load in, staring at a white or half-blank screen the entire time.
The other subtext is that Zuck was always frustrated that he didn't have control of the underlying mobile platforms (ios/android) which strangled a bunch of FB's strategy for over a decade.

He's not going to let that happen again.

In my school A-levels, I did a study on this. It was pretty obvious then that the main requirement of the law is to make people feel like retribution has been handed out, that the criminal has been made to suffer justly for their crimes.

As you say, if the aim were to reduce crime, then alleviating poverty and providing better mental healthcare would be far more effective solutions.
This article covers it more completely, with additional clarifications from Zuckerberg: https://www.theverge.com/22749919/mark-zuckerberg-facebook-m...

> There were all these subtle ways in which, because the company brand was Facebook, a lot of stuff flowed through Facebook and the Facebook app in ways that may have not been optimal. Facebook is still clearly the app that people use the most out of all the ones that we do. But there are people who want to just use WhatsApp or want to just use Instagram, or just want to have Quest and be in VR or AR and not have to use these things.

> So I think it’s about being able to pick and choose which of the services you want to use and know that, no matter what happens to your Facebook account or your Instagram account, you’re still going to have all the content that you bought in VR or all your virtual goods. You can set up an avatar and it can be tied to one of those accounts or could just be tied to your overall identity across the different family of apps. And you can use it in all these places if you want. I bet that’s going to be pretty powerful.
>Seems logical to keep the paired authentication device on the main body

This is actually a great point, and one that I hadn't thought of. AFAIK, the touch id sensor is part of the secure enclave hardware. Connecting it to a physically "external", peripheral that is connected by wires might introduce some security concerns.

At any rate, one has to laugh at Apple's public explanation.

>As an anecdote: people like me use a laptop in a multi-display setup

Same here, but we are extreme edge cases in that regard. And at any rate, I'd expect them to have fingerprint sensors as well, just like other high-end laptops.
"In anger" in these contexts usually means "trying to kill people", as opposed to "in testing or training". It does not mean that the people who did so were angry at the time.
I wonder if this could have been gamed.

i.e. FB employee knows it is coming, places a large bet on canadian co.

Is that insider trading? It's insider knowledge sure but wrong company and a bet on the behaviour of other market participants
It probably works well over low bandwidth satellite internet.
Was that really a risky bet paying off? It seems like the growth you'd expect from a big tech company like Facebook buying an existing, successful platform and monetizing the hell out of it.

If anything, it seems like young people ended up moving to Snapchat as their main social media platform of choice since the purchase. I had a ton of friends who used Instagram frequently but now almost no one posts there, other than occasional stories. The main feed is almost entirely ads now, and I can't remember the last time I had a conversation with someone who said they like Instagram still.

That's not to say it hasn't grown and isn't making them money, but I also don't think Instagram would have had the same trajectory if Facebook didn't buy them. They just integrated it with their existing platform that already had a lot of traffic.
> to catch oversupply

What oversupply?

Every chip that was allocated to cars has been used to make more cars. Saving up more chips in 2020, 2019, or 2018 would have only resulted in fewer cars being built compared to today.
> it's just that they are slow and ridden by utter morons about 50% of the time

What if the mind instead generates information from the noisy chaos of sensations? This goes back to Kant's idea that the mind creates the phenomenal world from the manifold of sensations via categories of thought like space, time and causality.

But it all depends on how seriously we take the idea that the world is actually information (or systems computing information) which is transmitted to the brain via the senses.

Depends on whether you trust your ISP's DNS more than Cloudflare's. According to https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/learning/dns/what-is-1.1.1....:

> Unlike most DNS resolvers, 1.1.1.1 does not sell user data to advertisers.

Putting aside the question of whether they actually honour that commitment, has your ISP even published a similar statement to put their reputation on the line?

I think Cloudflare's commitment is plausible. They have a financial incentive to maintain their free DNS resolver's reputation and popularity, because they are selling points for their commercial authoritative DNS service; https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/dns/. Does your ISP have a similar financial incentive to behave?

"If it's free, you are the product" is not always true. Sometimes, if it's free, you are the marketing funnel.
AGI exists since 1999. It created FB and Bitcoin (TV series plot)
Most of the advantages cryptocurrency fall into one two categories.

2. Bypassing various international and national regulations.

Free banking is a lie.

Banks are making money by taxing every transaction you make with your credit card. People would be shocked how much they are paying the bank for the convenience if they were presented with accumulated, monthly payments.

This is all very cleverly architected so that you, the consumer, don't have to explicitly pay for anything.

It makes sense for banks to offer "free" checking account and "free" credit cards. They don't want you to be concerned because they earn so much more on interchange fees.
Asynchronous culture and no-meetings-ever is great if you're a somebody who has the ability/experience/authority to take a high level task and run with it without needing to collaborate with or have input from anyone else, but that's not how most companies work in reality.

If you're waiting for multi-day turnaround times on agreements because there's back and forth where two parties are trying to have a debate over requirements in a document but both only check for updates every few hours, I'd argue you're not being as "productive" as you think.

It's true that many meetings could have been an e-mail, but there are a few crucial meetings that can save days by just getting everyone together in a room for 30 minutes to reach an agreement.
> “Latinx/Latin(x)/LatinX”, in both English and Spanish (though it seems to be used less in Spanish, even by people who use it in English [0]) is usually, perhaps exclusively, used as an adjective, not a noun.

If it is indeed used only as an adjective, it would make sense to see it very rarely in Spanish, as Spanish already dictates which gender to use for an adjective - if you want to say 'a latinx movie' in English to avoid using Latino/Latina, that makes some sense; but in Spanish, 'una pelicula latino' would never make sense, so why use 'latinx' instead of the normal agreement 'latina'?

I once gave thousands of government employees in Norway a long lunch break from what should have been a non-locking migration. Or so I thought. Apparently it was fixed in 12b (or something, a few years ago), and my tests in staging went fine. But in production we didn't run 12b as in staging, but 12a...

Can't remember all the details. But something about adding a new nullable column with or without a default value of some kind. It had to lock the table, but multiple queries were already running. Those queries had some locks already, but then needed those rows the migration had already gotten hold of. Leading to this huge deadlock I had no idea how to solve.

Worst part is, it was one of the first times we tried deploying during working hours. At the time we normally only got to deploy 4 times a year, but we pushed for a more modern approach. Luckily the server guys were on our side, and a few years later that government agency is one of the best technical places I've seen after a complete revamp.

I think that’s uncharitable. Everyone is going through the motions required of them, and this is the public demonstration of those mechanizations (although Signal is a bit cheeky, which is fun). The next step would be government requiring, through legislation, more invasive logging and data collection (Australia and parts of Europe have already seen the beginnings of this discussion) of messaging apps (“we’ve asked for what we can, they said they don’t have it and aren’t required to have it, what do you want us to do?”).

Why is Toyota so late to the EV game when the Prius was such a huge deal?

I just leased my first EV and it ended up being a Volkswagen, a brand I had no prior relationship with, simply because Toyota didn't have anything to offer outside of PHEVs.

I'm really looking forward to the insider stories coming out in 30 years, where they explain why every major legacy car manufacturer releases electric cars in a way that makes them undesirable.

EDIT It just occurred to me that this has already happened once: comparing the cars of the 50s/60s to the 80s, it is clear that there is a lot more going on than one would think. Is it inflation? Regulation? Corporate politics? Zeitgeist?

No, that's an unsound conclusion. That assumes that all the unobserved kinds of cases are like the those in the Israeli study and not like those in this.

The sound conclusion is: "This seems to be complicated; further study needed."
We specialize though. Some people might be able to maintain peak mental performance. Others peak physical. Some might be better at social things to make sure we have a cohesive well-functioning society. There's probably thousands of character traits and some are going to invariably be tradeoffs in our genome/social conditioning. There's a reason there aren't Einstein-level intelligences running around every day doing body building, modelling, race car driving all at once. You have to choose what you spend your time on and most people choose to intersect that with natural abilities and interests.

Also, assuming the conclusions of the article in any way prove a shift in intelligence (it doesn't), you'd still be looking at averages which tells you nothing about the effect it has on total number at population. Maybe there's an upper bound of "smart" people or "strong" people modern society demands. Certainly as a skill becomes more commoditized it becomes less valuable economically. Maybe we've got too many smart people now because a lot of people saw the explosion in value of such careers?

Somehow Toyota has managed to blow the 20 year lead they had on electric vehicles with the Prius by not innovating in this space at all since the original Prius. They instead focused on hydrogen with the Mirai, which turned out to be the wrong bet. It's surprising to see that even GM, BMW and Mercedes have "regular" electric cars in the market while Toyota has nothing more than a Tron-car sub-brand concept.
I’m really struggling to find the interview on YouTube. I don’t remember the interviewees name.

It’s was a Chinese activist or historian. And she was basically saying that many Asian societies had queer people long before the westerners came. And while it wasn’t really out in the open as such, everyone lived how they liked and it was ok.

The problems started when the westerners came and started having to label everything.

I’m not going to try and mangle the reasons she gave why labels caused problems.
