Part of it is because the company asks us to. Part of it is because I think it's reasonable to tell people your biases, and it can avoid the situation where substantive conversation gets derailed by "gotchas". If I make a comment about how I think Google Meet has the best noise cancellation of any video chat software, even though I don't work on Meet or anything adjacent to it, it's still a bad look if someone can dig through my comment history and pull out a previous comment about how I work for Google.
Should be "when", or maybe "where", then, no? The "why" is just clickbaitese.

And conversely it's much more beneficial for an attacker to consider the former (attacking the hypervisor), this exacerbates the situation by making red team more aggressive to one side whilst blue team is busy debating if they should disable SMT .
I'd say especially complex numbers. Few things seem more natural once you get used to them and see how they make everything fall into place.

Perhaps "useless" is the wrong term -- perhaps just "wildly inconsistent" would be better (which winds up being pretty much useless, if you can't find anything).

This really nails it. There will be some kinds of structures (note the plurals), particularly if more than one person is involved, since you just think... differently at different times. A minimal structure like Quiver/Obsidian just takes all those silly decisions away that wind up lumping your data into a difficult-to-access wad.

Because there are bosses out there who, if you don't meet their expectation of round the clock access to you, will fire you or PIP you out. Regulation will always have some edge cases where said regulation is suboptimal, but optimal over the aggregate. Your life might be worse, but more people's lives are improved.

Having children myself, I understand and can relate to your situation, but also understand the value of setting employment boundaries using regulation. Constant off hours contact is legitimately harmful to worker wellbeing [1].

"The insidious impact of 'always on' organizational culture is often unaccounted for or disguised as a benefit – increased convenience, for example, or higher autonomy and control over work-life boundaries," says Becker. "Our research exposes the reality: 'flexible work boundaries' often turn into 'work without boundaries,' compromising an employee's and their family's health and well-being.

Becker's research [2] is part of a growing body of work that is affirming the negative effects of an "always on" work culture. Around the world, several governments have begun to go as far as legislate laws allowing employees the freedom to not have to engage with work outside of official work hours."

You can technically disable smart features (for now at least) by disconnecting your TV from the internet.

I have a decent Vizio smart TV that works fine for me but has no internet connection and that is just dandy.
Exactly as mettamage said, so yes, more of an employment/tax law question. Anyone on YC to do a AMA on that? :)
This happened in Estonia as well. Communists attempted to overthrow the Estonian government in a coup in 1924, a couple of those involved were executed, many were imprisoned in the Patarei Prison in Tallinn (later gained notoriety under Soviet occupation for holding political prisoners), and some fled to the USSR. Ironically, those who were imprisoned fared slightly better than those who fled to the USSR, since many of the latter were purged by Stalin, while the former were given amnesty in '38, on the 20th anniversary of the founding of Estonia.
Landed immigrant status in Canada doesn't really change the analysis/options other than that if and when it comes time to apply for a visa, you should have little problem getting an appointment in Canada. I suspect that your mention of EB1 probably is a reference to EB1C, the multinational manager option, and that requires significant and ongoing operations in the US and Canada as well as one year of employment with the Canadian company.
They have an article about K-star rating systems [0] which uses Bayesian approximation [1] [2] (something I know little to nothing about, I'm just regurgitating the article).

Regulations only help the current top stay that way by creating arbitrary barriers to enter competition and politicizes the whole thing, leading to lobby instead of research and development.

Microsoft is not a monopoly. Neither is Google, Facebook etc. They are dominant in their niches.

Use Linux, use firefox, use duckduckgo, use mastedon, use Rumble, odyssey, etc.

The only reason they stay dominant is because instead of dropping their usage, people complain, point fingers and still use them. Because at the end of the day its a feeling of entitlement instead of being proactive supporting the better alternatives. The free market will solve the issue so long we protect freedom in the market.

> There are people that cheat and that install throttles so they can move without pedaling but that's a great way to get your vehicle confiscated.

Note that this varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In the US e-bikes with throttles are legally classified as Class 2 electric bicycles and are generally legal for use in bicycle infrastructure as long as they don't exceed 20 MPH.

FYI, the US classes are as follows: (1) 20 MPH (32 km/h) max, pedal-assist; (2) 20 MPH max, throttle; (3) 28 MPH (45 km/h) max, pedal-assist.
So other questions would be does the CDC request or store records of individual covid spreading at all- let alone if the spread was from some combination of vaxed or unvaxed, or covid history? It seems like early on the US did not do contact tracing to any consistent level and probably does even less now. And the contact tracing didn’t necessarily confirm spread from anyone individually.
Please don't pick the most provocative thing in a headline or article and then copy it into the threads to complain about it. The most provocative thing is nearly always something shallow and barely (if at all) related. This leads to shallow/indignant discussions, which are the opposite of what we're going for here.

It's particularly important because shallow/indignant comments tend to get a lot of upvotes (this is the main weakness of the upvoting system), which means that they end up at the top of threads, choking out more interesting discussion. That's where this one was when I saw it; I've marked it off topic now.

If people believed that this is the end of PoW the prices of GPUs would already be going down, because people would know that they have at most 7 months of run (until end of Q2) and that they'd be massive selling of graphic cards. I don't see it happening which means that either:

* miners don't believe the switch is happening that soon

* miners know they'll keep PoW with some other blockchain

* miners are gambling hoping that they'll still make profit

Maybe all 3?
Having never used Common Lisp, it's one of the languages I wish I've used for a long time.

However, working with Clojure and Scheme, I understand the power of repl driven development that is difficult to explain outside the experience of it.
You're describing one particular kind of (high-end) e-bike. Many perfectly legal, unmodified e-bikes do not have torque sensors. If the bike has a cadence sensor, like mine does, then it doesn't care about how much torque you're applying to the pedals. All it cares about is how fast they're turning. And at the higher speeds (around the 20 MPH limit) the gearing and small wheel sizes on mine are such that one would need to pedal very fast to exert any significant pressure on the pedals. A much lower pedaling rate with no pressure will still maintain the top speed on level ground.

There is no significant difference between "pedal assist" and a hand-operated throttle. It would be really nice if the politicians would recognize this and remove the meaningless class 1 / class 2 distinction based purely on the location of the throttle. (Though to be fair there are many more sensible places which already treat them the same.)
As long as they'r not causing problems for other cyclists

And if a frog had wings, it wouldn't bump its ass when it hops. "Other cyclists"? They're not cyclists, they're motorcycle riders, for starters. Now any jackass can zoom down the bike path at 25-30mph, but yeah, as long as that doesn't cause problems...

As a motorcyclist, I would call them e-mopeds ;).

I think that is the best name, since mopeds also have pedals that nobody uses.
I would say most workloads benefit from SMT. I've done work disabling and enabling it and rerunning benchmarks to understand the impact.

As a gross over generalization, disabling it can improve latency for workloads that are compute intensive. This is not most workloads, and almost everything will see some improvement and increase in throughput by having SMT turned on at lower utilizations.

As you push the workload beyond 60-70% utilization the wins from SMT fall away, but generally are not impacting you negatively. What happens is your processor is over performing at lower utilizations, and your performance curve bends to where it would have been without SMT at lower utilizations.
Possibly. That will depend on whether the position is clearly professional or managerial in nature. But L-1s for Canadians usually work.

Even in a hypothetical world where there are as many electric stations as gas stations, the wait seems like a real pain point. I won’t buy an EV until I live somewhere I can charge it at home, and even then I’d rather take a gas car on road trips.

What’s that telephone operator math problem about how adding just a few more incoming to the queue increases average wait times astronomically or something?
Mostly. Assuming you having the same font installed or embedded- to be sure about this you want to go further and use PDF/A
I’m actually curious about the legality of this. Potentially those shipments contain personal information (from the invoice to the package contents). Is Amazon actually allowed to release them like that? Lost packages are one thing, but intentionally forgetting about them, idk.
It's great that you don't have the expectation of people reading or replying to your messages after hours.

However, please recognize that even with a well-meaning boss like you, there are still mechanisms that incentivize individuals to at least read these messages, and once their free time has been "tainted" with work stuff, much of the damage is already done. Psychological pressures (which may be entirely internal but often are the result of other peers' attitudes as well) will still take a toll.

IMHO, as grown-ups, it is the most reasonable thing to avoid such leakage altogether; when my phone rings after hours I need to be certain that this is not something that can wait.

Luckily, since you're already using slack, you can just use the "send later" feature which is super simple to use and will work around this effectively. :)

Possible FSD disengagement problems aside...

If you follow FSD review channels like AI Addict, you'll know that there's no "safety" in the system. The human must maintain control at all times, as part of the agreement with Tesla for using the system, because it is clearly unsafe, if left on its own.
It is a bit odd that the video really talks up the idea that complex numbers sever algebra from geometry, then without pause goes straight into a geometric interpretation of complex numbers https://youtu.be/cUzklzVXJwo?t=1153 .
Dual numbers and double numbers are also planar.

Don't know how relevant this is, but I've been thinking about a better naming scheme for hypercomplex number systems. I came to it after seeing a paper about the "dual-complex numbers", which are not a straightforward complexification of the dual numbers as one might expect. Hopefully, the scheme should be pronounceable, and without the possibility of confusing it for something else. This town needs law! I'm thinking of asking for suggestions for what it should be exactly.
I also do not know of anyone who has experienced package theft in the US between a few cities on both coasts and suburbs in a variety of states. But they all live in upper middle class or richer neighborhoods or buildings, so there is probably a lot of selection bias.

This has been bothering me for years. I don't understand why REST vs GraphQL are so often presented as the only options. My observation is 90% of APIs for systems I've worked on should be using something more akin to RPC yet it doesn't even register in the conversation. I'm sure there are other great options too.

I've never seen an API on a project I've worked on that comes close to proper REST - and rightfully so as they'd never benefit.
100%. The other day I wanted to do some transformations on a file using the like of regex, sed and grep. After 1 hour I just gave up and thought "hey, why not try doing it in Python". It took me just 5 minutes to write a small script, which was eye opening. Since then, I just write python scripts instead of toiling with commands I don't know.
But it's the one you mentioned.

Keep in mind there are thousands of lawyers out there whose job is to write software patents or litigate for big tech companies.

Delta has been suppressed over the summer in NW Europe. Seasonality played a major role. Winter season is upon us, the dam is bursting.

There is little hope to control the spread in the longterm, especially after delta. Eventually covid will burn through the population one way or another. Vaccines help dull the sharp edge, hopefully this holds moving forward. The other hope is that a population no longer immunologically naive to the virus will be more resilient, that is waves will be rarer and smaller. Sweden may have a head start, for the rest we have to wait for fall 2022.

> I transferred money to somebody else last night despite never having met them, virtually or in meatspace or whatnot--I used a credit card to buy something.

Great! In the context of the discussion, that transfer wasn't "trustless", you have bunch of contracts setup and more to support and make sure the transfer is trusted and OKed.

> it "solves" issues in the financial that are already practically solved for billions of people.

Yes, bank transfers and credit cards works for a lot of people. But there are tons of people who cannot use those, what about those people?

Have you ever tried to send money from Nigeria to Ecuador? It's a hassle, especially when you deal with a larger amount. Your transfer is gonna get stuck in the fraud-department at some entity you never heard about, simply because the transfer is coming from Nigeria.

Instead, doing the same transfer with cryptocurrencies took about 1 minute to enter the details, and 5 seconds for finality of the transfer, and it's done.

In Belgium we have pedelecs (max 25kmh) and speed pedelecs (max 45kmh). Pedelecs are catagorized as bicycles, and speed pedelecs as scooters, which require a license plate and all other stuff, including their proper place on the road.
Is Word the biggest mistake of computing ever? I get it, in 1980 when you are trying to get adoption of your obscure machine, it helps to emulate what is de vogue in the real world.

But now it's 2021, and there is zero reason anymore for anyone to "layout a letter" or similar nonsense like that. Computers are everywhere and the key to efficient processes, but we are stuck using them to make facsimiles of the World circa 1980.
Those are more than likely 25 Kph limited bikes, s-pedelecs are a different class altogether.
I know, I'm just clarifying for readers who are.
Total BS. I'm a blockchain developer and I worked on a project worth half a billion $ and we made far bigger changes than that in less than 2 years... With a far smaller team... Without even a single 'rock star developer'.

Either Ethereum devs are the dimmest minds in the industry or there is something seriously wrong at the foundational level of the Ethereum code itself.
I am shocked about this:

>Judge Melissa Clarke found that audio data collected by cameras on a shed, in a driveway and on the Ring doorbell was processed unlawfully. She noted that at the time it was not possible to turn off the audio recording facility - that happened in an update in 2020.

I would have assumed all camera makers implemented a software toggle to disable audio recording. It seems like a basic function to avoid violating laws against recording audio when you are not party to the conversation. It is Amazon though, so I guess I should not be surprised.
Why does Microsoft feel the need to force adoption of their browser?

The browser comes installed, and is not the best browser (for everyone, at least). If a user wants to change the browser, why does that matter to MS so much?

I'm genuinely curious because it seems like universally hated behavior by MS, but without any obvious benefit - so, what am I missing?
That's a beauty.
Definitely not enough for an EB1 in and of itself. You would need a letter from the confirming and describing your responsibilities and achievements.
Hi Peter,

My father who is a naturalized US citizen since Oct 2018 (He got his GC in Oct 2013) filed for my GC. I am in F2B.
I am born and raised in India, 32 yrs, unmarried, 5 years of exp in IT.

Priority date → Nov 2017
Petition approved → Nov 2020

My file should be with NVC now, probably in cold storage.

How severely has the pandemic slowed down application processing?
I have been hearing there will be no change in Visa Bulletin till May 2022.

Meanwhile I have also applied for Canada PR under Express Entry and got nominated by Ontario province.
I am expecting my Canadian PR application to be finalized in next 12 months.

Considering this -

1. When do you reckon I will get my GC?

2. I intend to be US + Canada citizen, both. Is there anything I need to know?

3. Will I be taxed by both countries? Is there a double taxation avoidance treaty?

Many thanks for taking questions, Peter :)

I've always found the geometric interpretation as easy as useful but felt I was not grasping the whole thing because it was too cute and easy.
That's true, but the danger of flushing subnormals to zero is correspondingly worse because it's global CPU state and there's commonly used code that relies on not flushing subnormals to zero in order to work correctly, like `libm`. The example linked in the post is of a case where loading a shared library that had been compiled with `-Ofast` (which includes `-ffast-math`) broke a completely unrelated package because of this. Of course, the fact that CPU designers made this a global hardware flag is atrocious, but they did, so here we are.

Wow, no directories. That kind of blows my mind. I just really appreciate some kind of high-level "directory" (for lack of a better word) rather than trying to remember some random tag to help me find something.

Reminds me (sorry, I'm a dinosaur) of the WAIS [0] days -- I had a friend who showed me some cool sites accessible through WAIS. When I asked them if there was some kind of directory to find stuff, he looked slightly annoyed and said, "You could build one, I guess." The WwW came along shortly thereafter, with lots of directories of sites, and yeah, most folks have never even heard of WAIS :-)
