>Back in my day it was just a given people said mean things on the internet.

Isn't this indicative of a serious problem though? If there were places IRL where the average person is subjected to a constant barrage of callousness it wouldn't continue to exist, would it?

Can we have free speech without accountability? In the past accountability seemed like a major factor.
I'm looking forward to the return of megaflora. Too bad I won't be here to see it.

I'm Chinese and writing from a Huawei phone, and the Meng affair is frankly ridiculous: kidnapping those two guys, probably "sort of spies" and not just random teenage students you'll agree pretending this had nothing to do with Meng then freeing them up immediately after was impressive both in boldness and stupidity - we could maybe have the strength to own up rather than act like weasels non stop.

That said, helping Iran shouldn't be a crime until they actually pose a tangible threat, and at my little level, I think the US is being way too strict on them, and I dont dislike Huawei trying to help them... as long as we're able to control the risk and focus them rather than have it blow up in our face "US in Afghanistan"-style.
There is nothing in that formula that stops it from going below zero. You are making assumptions about the inputs.
The syntax and usability of

from sklearnex import patch_sklearn
# The names match scikit-learn estimators
patch_sklearn("SVC")

seems quite clunky. I'd have preferred a syntax like

from sklearnex import SVC

Then, maintenance would be substantially easier. If sklearnex had import-level compatibility with sklearn it'd be as simple as some simple replacements,

import sklearn --> import sklearnex as sklearn

from sklearn.cluster import KMeans --> from sklearnex.cluster import KMeans

which seems much easier / clearer.
I agree with your opinion, but we're talking the EU here .. cost and red tape will not be an issue, so it'll happen.
> The CPI should include the cost per square foot of residential real estate.

Other websites follow that [0] and interestingly enough, median inflation adjusted price per square foot across the entire country hasn't really budged in decades although covid could have messed that up these pasts 2 years. Of course, if you want to live in a geography constrained location like the west coast and northeast, that does not really help you but you need to work with their local governments as that is a local problem and not a federal one.

> Previous guys somehow didn't know they should use transactions when updating/deleting stuff in the DB, because hey, it's just API you call, who cares of mambo-jumbo happening behind the curtains, right?

I would consider transactions part of the api. I use them all the time in postgres and I'd hardly call myself an expert in the low level details

Is it possible that on the high end of expensive groceries it hasn’t gone up as much? For instance a 12oz bag of my favorite coffee beans were $20/bag in 2019, they’re still $20/bag…
NYC, Manhattan
Perhaps where you are things are cheaper. But I am comparing just my local grocery store and the price increases are very noticeable.
The question is, why would they? At the moment, the M1 constitutes a competitive advantage for Apple. Licensing that processor to other manufacturers and for purposes other than building Apple hardware would only dilute that advantage.

"System builders who'd like to play with an M1" doesn't seem like a relevant or sufficiently well-defined market segment to justify such a huge trade-off.

Well, I suppose I'm a "boomer uncle", but I can't see myself going for it. Particularly if it supports that git with his stupid haircut.
Which is why he got the benefit of the doubt until he opened his mouth.

Being a CEO doesn't necessarily mean fully understanding the technical aspects of your companies work, and it certainly doesn't mean understanding technical aspects of adjacent industries, like railroads, or understanding military logistics or operations.
> Mac; there is so much potential in converting Windows users

I’m skeptical about the long-term value here. By virtue of the fact that phones are much more locked down, customer support issues are relatively straightforward.

Mac users have vastly more ways to shoot themselves in the foot, so the more Mac users Apple has, the more support infrastructure they require. Genius Bars are already (or, at least, were pre-pandemic) overwhelmed.
I have first hand knowledge of IP theft by Huawei dating back more than 15 years. It's not surprising they can outclass competitors on price over the long term. Perhaps this behavior should not be rewarded?
>for us to collectively come up with an objective definition

That's not how the game works, we don't collectively do anything, the powerful come up with the definition.

Just wait for a powerful person to take criticism and be able to jail the person because of "psychological harm."
And we, the society, are outraged at the blatant abuse of power we are witnessing in this article. We are shocked by how our current system may have critical vulnerabilities that compromise it's ability to deliver the education it promised, and are ready to discuss which aspect of the status quo may need to be improved upon.
The UK has arguably had an authoritarian bias for a long time, under the guise of being paternalistic.

I wouldn't say it's always a bad thing, as many times this does work in the society's favour (e.g. consumer protection laws, various other regulations), and the loosening of the restriction works against it (e.g. the course of events that led to the Grenfell Tower fire).

Of course, you also get stuff like this, the various porn bills that surface every few years, and the Snooper's Charter. This is the real Nanny State stuff.

The UK simply has a different perspective on how government should work. Arguably because it's had a thousand years to figure it out.
I don't think anyone is saying Intel is actually currently dead. They're clearly not. But their trajectory is not headed the right way.
> I fail to understand why the press in western countries gives this story so much air time. It's a regular fixture in the Canadian, UK and NZ press as well. I think it speaks to the lobbying effort and quality of PR retained by Huawei.

I think it's the opposite. Without all of the anti-Chinese bluster, this would be seen as a simple government giveaway to privately-owned telecoms and domestic telecom equipment manufacturers. These press releases are being written by their lobbyists, not Huawei.
Once I developed pine mouth (https://www.foodauthority.nsw.gov.au/about-us/science/food-r...). It was was one of the weirdest experiences I've ever had; I thought I had stumbled on some strange genetic metabolic disorder that was starting to manifest before I eventually figured out what it was. Basically, everything with carbohydrates started tasting super metallic and bitter, a little like soap or something, and it lasted for days.

At first I thought it was all pine nuts. Eventually, after being in a study, and with more attention and study of it, people figured out it's linked to certain reactions some people have to certain species of pine trees in Asia.

So then I started becoming picky about where the pine nuts come from, and discovered the US was a major producer of pine nuts up through WWII. I started buying pine nuts from local producers, from which I learned a fair amount about them, that there's different varieties of different size and oil content, with different taste profiles, oil content, and shelf-life.

I love pine nuts and am happy in theory to buy them from whereever, but it did open my eyes a bit to possibilities that aren't really being realized. It seems like the US market is drying up due to lack of demand and/or competition, but it would be interesting to see local producers thrive, with an emphasize on varietal quality, sort of like apples etc.
> It always surprises me how much companies tend to take cloud databases as automated and rely on them to do auto-tuning for everything.

Automation and auto-tuning is kind of the whole value proposition of managed services, isn't it?
It's not even about your feeds. It's about your private messages. Crazy stuff, Gestapo and KGB wouldn't even dream of this level of surveillance of ordinary citizens.
You say that it like it's a bad thing. It's relatively easy to become the latest fad among the teenagers. It's hard to become a sticky product loved by all the people who have disposable incomes. The people with disposable incomes are the 40 to 70 year olds.

Facebook being a social network mostly used by 40 to 70 somethings is a big credit to them, not a negative.
Though, the accounting for this ad, we don't see the inflation adjusted price - because $1600 in 1991 isn't the same as $1600 now.

That $1600 Tandy would equate to ~$3250 in Today's day and age.

So, essentially an M1 Pro/Max MacBook Pro.

>>What hell-hole do you live in‽

the US

>>In my country, the government doesn't have the authority to kill anyone

I highly doubt that is true.

>>And where is disconnecting from your city utilities illegal –

I am not aware of any city in any industrialized nation that does not require all buildings that have occupancy permits to be connected to their city water, sewer systems as a condition of that occupancy permit. Thus disconnecting from said utility is illegal. Going further most US Cities require not only water / sewer connections but also Electric (and Gas if no electric heat) and Trash Services.

Failure to maintain those services results in fines, then from fines you get liens, then foreclosure, then eviction, at the point of eviction is where men with guns show up... Resit them, and you die.

>>At least with the government, I get a vote.

Which only carries the cause in the case of the tie, there has never been a tie....
Gerrymandering erases any hope that they will take up a genuine interest in voting rights when they can just manipulate the entire system in their own favor.

And this is why the trend is to remove factual information from trials rather than add some. For example, in many Western countries, it is now forbidden to present during a trial the SMS exchanged with a “victim of rape” before meeting, and to seize the messages between her and her friends, because it would cause psychological harm to this person. So the only remaining evidence is he-said-she-said, which is prone for interpretation.

It is also forbidden to take notes as a member of a jury. If a member is not sure, he should ask again. Which opens the way for rhetoric tricks, not factual information.
That isn't a meme, that is truth.

I think your real concern is the definition of "better". In your example of gasoline, public health is more important that power, so "better" gas is measured by health.

So we are both right - products need to be "better", but at the same time, by all means schedule time with your local boards to explain to them why these concerns mean that other products are "better", even if clunky.
The problem with parental supervision is that everyone tells you you're either doing too much or too little. No one is ever doing the right amount.

In general no one can fully monitor what their kids are doing online, and the tooling is woefully behind because it's antithetical to companies measuring engagement as success.
Evee | Founding Software Developer | $100k - $220k + Equity | Full-time | Los Angeles / Remote | https://www.evee.com

Evee aims to make stronger teams and foster inclusiveness at the workplace with software that allows corporate planners to seamlessly book and customize experiences.

Our customers say that they come for our marketplace of event providers, everything from virtual escape rooms to coffee cupping classes, but they stay for all of the tooling around them! Dynamic recommendations, budget optimization, registration templates, enterprise integrations, you name it — we like to say we’re building the “Shopify for experiences” as we build the underlying API’s to enable a diverse set of creators and SMB’s to gain access to corporate demand to continue following their dreams.

Our current stack is Typescript, NodeJS, React, NextJS, GraphQL/Apollo, Postgres, Redis, Docker, AWS with hints of go, python, dare I say perl, and the freedom for you to make architectural decisions with other backend flavors where appropriate.

Ideally you are a full stack generalist, but assuming you have some technical aptitude with web applications in mind, the drive to build and hunger to learn are much more important at this stage in Evee’s journey.

Evee believes we all live in a digital world and group experiences are the only way to retain the human connection and drive culture in the workplace. Come join a recently funded startup at the most exciting time!

I disagree. ASIO has been (mostly) intuitive for me to use. The hardest part is that it doesn't have great documentation and that it sometimes changes paradigms (eg, the recent change in executors has been super annoying and lead to problems in migrations). But of course it really depends on how you think when you write software. If you don't really think asynchronously then you're going to have trouble.
On-topic, pine cones are really interesting! They are the female reproductive organs of the tree. The male cones produce pollen, which gets captured by the female cone and fertilized into seeds (pine nuts). The scales on the female cone open up slightly for pollination, remain closed for fertilization, then open up again once the seed is fully formed and ready to be released.

Off-topic, but I'm in a meeting so I watched the video with the "Automated Captions" turned on. I didn't realize that the captions will actually overlay on top of the subtitles when Chinese is being spoken--it results in some, eh, interesting sentences:

"Dr. She, the one you need to do that kitchen."

"Long time. Your cakehole, who is Jonathan Joseph?"
How does it work? I don't know how condors regulate their internal functions. As a human, I can control my muscles and my breathing, but I can't control, say, my digestion, my liver, my heart beat (except indirectly by either relaxing or doing stressful activities). How would a bird "flip the switch" and initiate asexual reproduction?
These are a good place to store your emergency fund (assuming you roll your money into them 10k at a time, so that you have short-term liquidity when needed.)
Sounds like it'd be easier to just run your slideshow in a window and share that window. PowerPoint and Keynote can both do that.

Bonus to sharing only a window - you never accidentally show something you didn't want to, like that email or messages notification...

I wholly agree with the analysis here, mostly because I've been blown away by how much my Apple Watch has benefited my health. Apple's implementation of a consumer health experience is really good so far.

I have a scale that tells me my weight and body fat percentage, and it is able to sync directly into Apple Health. And yet, the scale isn't able to read any of my health data, including my weight! They have done a great job with Apple Health, making your data accessible and yet easy to set permissions so it's in your control.

The author mentions blood glucose monitoring, and I'm sure Apple will attempt to do that at some point. But there are so many more things they could potentially do.

How about a chest strap for workouts? I'm fascinated by how my watch measures my V̇O₂ max for me, but it seems like it would be far more accurate with more inputs.

What if Apple Watch, or some other device, could detect heart attacks? It can already detect some heartbeat irregularities.

I'm sure Apple could make an even better scale than the one I already have. My understanding is the body composition readings aren't too accurate on those things.

Imagine an Apple weight loss program: guaranteed to lose 10lbs in 2 months if you follow the instructions your watch gives you!

Here would be the real killer for me: what if Apple made glasses which could detect all the food you eat and log the calories and nutrients? I've done a fair amount of manual meal logging into apps that integrate with Apple Health, and it can be really helpful for monitoring your diet. But typing every meal into your phone isn't scalable -- I inevitably give up after a couple weeks.

One more thing: how can hospitals and doctors get access to this data? I've done some searching for a primary care physician that has the ability to integrate with Apple Health, and I haven't found any. Can Apple create a paid service that empowers service providers with more data?

I think Apple is the company that can 1) build the best, most high-tech consumer health products, and 2) sell the value of those products to the public.

Cars and AR are cool, too, but, as the author points out, consumers aren't really seeing the value in those. If Apple can make its health products even more life-changing than they already are, then someday we will live in a world where it's weird to not be monitoring your health, like it would be weird to not have a smartphone these days.

> You should not assume any significant security benefits to containers, regardless of what anyone claims (even a kernel developer - maybe especially them....) because it all depends on Linux kernel security, which is pretty crap.

Completely disagree. How much experience/exposure do you have to kernel security that you say is crap?

> It uses Micro VMs rather than just kernel-level restrictions, so even a Linux kernel security bug shouldn't be able to jump out to the host or other containers/Firecrackers.

You realize that firecracker uses KVM, which is part of the "crap" kernel that you don't trust? A "Linux kernel security bug" could absolutely allow a Firecracker VM to jump to the host or other containers/Firecrackers.
