Marshall McLuhan said every new medium incorporates old media as content.

For instance movies incorporated the theater, television incorporated the movies.

One of the best applications of AR or VR is to project virtual screens: watch a movie in an imaginary movie theater, project multiple desktops from your computer into VR space.

Here is the best app they came up with for Magic Leap:

Think you might mean SOC II Type 1 and SOC II Type 2 (vs SOC I)?

SOC II Type 1/2 cover the "scopes" that more generally pertain to "secure" development.

A SOC II Type 1 is basically coming up with that checklist. The third-party auditor will then measure your performance against that checklist (you provide the evidence) for a single point in time. The Type 1 is considered the baby step into the Type 2.

A SOC II Type 2 is generally taking that checklist from the Type 1... but the auditor is randomly sampling for evidence over a time range (usually a year). Generally once you've done your first Type 2... you're doing it continually each and every year.

"No blockers" as a funny sign-off phrase akin to "Bye", sure. But I've seen teams explicitly ask "Do you have any blockers?"

1. If I did, I would have told you a long time ago when it became a blocker.

2. If I somehow forgot to tell you a long time ago, I would have told you when I did my standup comedy^H^H^H^H^H^H routine.

3. If I still somehow forgot after all that, it doesn't matter.
I've often thought that Sanders' biggest PR problem was his poor posture.

Other candidates in the last round wore frumpy suits. Except for Biden. Biden stood up straight, and had a sharp suit. Ditto for Trump.

It was fun watching the debates by turning off the sound, and just watching body language and mannerisms.

Obama always looked sharp, too. It matters.
You shouldn't view the RSUs as different from any other compensation package, even just an all-cash package.

If Google says they'll give you $200k per year in cash + $400k split over 4 years as RSUs, that's the same as just getting $300k per year in cash.

Why would you leave $300k per year in cash on the table? Because another company is offering you $350k per year (or more likely in the case of FAANG, another company is offering you the same $300k/yr but with significantly less stress).

I am a big proponent of the precautionary principle when the health of the young is concerned. I also believe that such things ought to be held sacred (whether you are religious or not).

While precautions must of course be taken to protect those at risk, one of the consequences of my positions would be that yes, even as childless as I am, I'd rather lose vaccinated > 40 y.o. people to a breakthrough infection than risk hurting a child in the short or long terms.

This is why I'd rather wait for data to come in before vaccinating the young than the other way round.

The SFPD police department are heavily scrutinized, understaffed, underfunded, undertrained, and unsupported by higher levels of political officials, whom ironically carry around their own private security detail wherever they go in SF, who seek to villainize them for their own political gain. The DA's office throws everything out. You have "defund the police" clueless types abound.

The fact that SF has anyone who is willing to do that work in that city is nothing short of a miracle.

I also get the impression that HoloLens is in a particularly awkward spot right now. It was built on/for a tech stack (Windows Core OS and UWP) that is more-or-less dead now, so there is a great deal of uncertainty about its future.

There is no need to transfer any wealth from NSO and the code is both illegal and secret, anyways.

The compiler can't really reason very well about the data layout - it can reason about the instructions
Yeah, I think so. It was such a terrible boondoggle and blunder. People who followed current events back then say it demoralized the country, so I think could have been the straw that broke the camel's back. It's like it was ill conceived and amateurish. Yes, accidents happen, but to be so unprepared is inexcusable (compare Grenada or Panama operations)
ETL and modelling, then pushing the modeled values to tables
Yeah I guess I'm just surprised that, once you're at the FAANG level, the packages are going to vary that much that one would jump every two years. Also, having just interviewed at the FAANG level, they are very weary about job hoppers to the point where if you haven't worked at a place for longer than 3+ years, they want a detailed explanation why.

It seems extremely unlikely that fusion will be able to compete in any way with solar for the next 30-50 years. It is on a completely exponential cost decrease curve, and we haven't even seen a hint of bottoming out yet.

New technological and manufacturing advances happen nearly daily. We may have panels that last for 60-90 years within a decade, meaning that costs will drop even further.

Solar also has the advantage of being extremely scalable and decentralized, so that a massive installation can be put in cheap land far from any people, without having to run transmission lines to a big centralized power generator. Of the current average cost of $0.13/kWh in the US for electricity, $0.08/kWh is for transmission and distribution costs, and only $0.05 is for power generation. That 8 cents isn't falling in cost, and so halving the cost of generation, or even making it a fifth of the cost, doesn't help a lot unless the power generation can be located closer to where it's needed.

For super cheap energy, it's going to be nearly impossible to beat solar PV.

I used to agree but after working at Amazon... yes, it really is passed down.

There is still large variation per org/team, but there are definitely a lot of things that can permeate all the way down. The way hiring is done, the way performance is evaluated and promotions/raises are done, the way weekly org-wide metrics meetings are done, the way escalations are handled, even the way we hold meetings or write documents... At Amazon, all of these things are influenced (or directly guided) by processes that are put in place by the highest levels, and they really do have enormous impact on the overall culture of the company.

Somewhat unrelated, but my wife has recently found a way to make _awesome_ European (aka actually edible) bread at home, using a very simple recipe. The protip is you need to bake it in a well pre-heated Dutch oven, that's how you get the crust right. Commercial ovens inject steam for the same purpose, but you can't do that at home. Dutch oven apparently simulates the same effect. A $5 loaf of "fancy" bread can be baked at home easily with ~50c worth of ingredients. She used this book to figure this out: https://www.amazon.com/Tartine-Bread-Chad-Robertson/dp/08118.... She tried numerous recipes from it (some of which were ridiculously elaborate), but the simplest and least time consuming one turned out to also be the best, not to mention the most practical on the day-to-day basis.

Heh, well .NET's cross-architecture support was/is still useful for allowing .NET to target Windows CE on SH-3, MIPS, ARM and more - also consider that at-the-time (1999-2001) even though Windows NT no-longer supported MIPS and Alpha, there was IA-64 (Itanium) looming on the horizon which was widely anticipated to replace x86 (hah), so even though it wasn't true cross-platform (i.e. cross-OS) it still made business-sense.

Another advantage of .NET's use of JIT bytecode was that Microsoft could sell it as a platform enabling "verifiable code": which is true: a "pure" CIL/MSIL assembly file literally cannot have any memory-related bugs to worry about and their consequential security vulnerabilities, which were a big deal at the time (this was related to Microsoft's "Trustworthy computing" initiative as well: you don't need to "trust" the programs you're running: the use of verifiable bytecode means you can verify its safety entirely by yourself).

Interesting. At my FAANG (Amazon) we explicitly are told to not ask this. It would be kind of weird for us to ask that, really, considering the tenure of most people here is <2 years.
Being a developer without local admin is rough. My IT department recently rolled out such a policy and it has really made development a challenge for several teams.

"plenty of tools need to move and chip"

Not sure what you mean by that. I dont know all the tools in the world, but generally a chipped tool gets less sharp. Even something like obsidian would get less sharp in regards to the intended use with a random chip as compared to a well knapped tool.

"cutting speed is a function that increases a machines' longevity."

I'm not sure you are using cutting speed the same way I'm talking about movement. Applying too much lateral torque to a router bit is how bits break, bearings wear prematurely, etc. You don't need much torque to move the router.

If you want faster cutting speed, then the RPM of the bit can be increased, or using a different bit design. You can cut faster and it still shouldn't require much torque for the movement.

I’ve been such an ATi fan after owning an FIC-branded 9700 that was flashed to a Pro and went bad in the first year or so. I was ~13 years old, called up ATi and told them the situation, I was honest that I had flashed the bios, and asked if there was anything they could do. They sent me an ATi branded 9700 Pro.

First company to do me a solid like that and I’ve stuck around since.
Two observations/questions, the first probably naive:

* It's not that hard to get your own "world class" time server, for under a thousand. A Rb standard slaved to a GPSDO is gonna be so accurate and stable, and use that to drive a SBC that supports IEEE1588, where you run your NTP and PTP server. Oh, but I guess that box, while inexpensive, isn't in Amazons DC, so doesn't help you.

* PTP's absence in the Amazon Time Sync Service article is quite conspicuous!
They did indeed mention 500TB. That doesn't mean they have actually stored 500TB anywhere, or that they have a system that's currently capable of storing 500TB anywhere, or even that they genuinely have good reason to think that their system can practically be made to store 500TB in something the size of a Blu-Ray disc.

Maybe it can! But so far as I can tell the 10000x figure is much more what they hope might be achievable than what they are in any position to do.

I don't have access to their actual paper. But the reports in the popular press seem to indicate that the individual voxels are on the order of 500x50nm in size, compared with Blu-Ray pits which are about 500x500nm. So that's a density increase of 10x within each layer. Each voxel apparently stores 4 bits, compared with one bit for a Blu-Ray pit, so that's a density increase of 40x.

So if they're claiming 10000x, I think most of that increase has to be from having many many layers. They'd need 250 layers. So far they have done 3. It seems to me that the technical challenges in increasing the number of layers so greatly without reducing the density of voxels might be very great, because to read or write a voxel you need to point a laser at it, and as the number of layers increases they start getting in one another's way.

Maybe they already have some ingenious solution to that problem -- again, I don't have access to their actual article. But I tend to think that if they'd solved that problem then (1) they would be making sure that the articles in the popular press tell the world of that achievement and (2) they would have demonstrated it with more than 3 layers.

[EDITED to add:] Oh, wait, at least one of their publications is available to read: https://www.osapublishing.org/optica/fulltext.cfm?uri=optica... This one talks about "50 layers", though I'm not 100% sure whether they mean 50 full two-dimensional layers stacked on top of one another (their diagrams seem to suggest not), and says that with the parameters they used the amount they could fit on one disc would be ... 1.64TB. That's a ~30x increase over a dual-layer Blu-ray disc. Not to be sneezed at, for sure, but it's a lot less than 10000x.

That paper is entitled "High speed ultrafast laser anisotropic nanostructuring by energy deposition control via near-field enhancement". It seems there's another one called "5D optical data storage with 100% readout accuracy in silica glass". Same authors, approximately same publication date, so it seems a bit unlikely that one of them is claiming 300x denser data storage than the other, but who knows?
