That's like saying market caps in public companies mean nothing because you can't sell all of Apple's stock for $2T.
> I think a lot of us tech people like to think "no it only exists on the internet the govt can't touch it! It's like international waters"

Do people really think that today? I did, when i was a teenager discovering the Internet, and then quickly realised how naive that is when my favourite torrent site got taken down, and when a public digital library website got taken down like a terrorist organisation with a SWAT team taking their servers.
Of the things you learned under pressure of exams and grades, how many of them do you actually remember? That is, did you learn for long enough to pass the test, or did you learn?
H.R.3684 (aka "Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act" aka "INVEST in America Act" aka "the Infrastructure Bill") passed the House 221/201/8 [0] and the Senate 69/30/1 [1].

If I have a csv that I know has occasional quotes text with commas in it, I usually first just pass it though a script to substitute quoted commas for something else (either nothing or a pipe symbol, e.g.) - you can do this in a one liner with awk itself using " as a field separator and substituting commas in even fields.

Two key lessons I've learned are always confirm that NF is equal to the same value for all rows before you do anything else, and if you have anything more complex than quoted commas (e.g. newlines), don't use awk.
"RBAC Like It Was Meant To Be" https://tailscale.com/blog/rbac-like-it-was-meant-to-be/

The key insight is to define policies as purely virtual; a policy never refers to real users or real resources. Instead, it refers to virtual users (via "roles") or virtual resources (via "tags"), which can then be associated with real users/resources without modifying the policy.
While you can read the republic as a political discussion, and I won't blame you if you do that given how piecemeal antique philosophers are often taught in contemporary academia, but in context it really is more of a discussion about the nature of justice, rather than a political manual. That is what he is trying to do, explore a just society would look like, and through it, trying to find the nature of justice. That is actually still a fairly interesting discussion.

Justice is very much part of the zeitgeist, but how many actually stop to ask what that even means? What does it mean for a society to be just, for a person to be just? If we can't produce an answer to those questions, how are we ever going to produce justice, or be just?

Plato's critique of democracy isn't something we should reject on the account that it's a critique of democracy. He makes a few good points, it's not some intellectual check mate, but it's something any follower of democracy should have answers to, they are problems any democracy needs to work toward solving. If there is any take-away from Plato, it is that we get closer to truth by asking questions, by exploring murky half-thought thoughts and figuring out where they don't quite add up.
Exactly. If Bitcoin had not gone "to the moon", all of this would be a tiny niche, like Chaum's DigiCash was.

The problem is all the junk riding Bitcoin's coattails.
At some point, probably soon, the bottom will fall out of at least part of this. NFTs are already crashing. That's not too visible, because there's no "market price" across different items.
But you can look at sales on OpenSea, and notice that the resale prices are mostly lower than the previous price.[1] Smooth Love Potion [2], part of the Axie Infinity Ponzi, already crashed.

The big moment will come when Tether comes un-tethered. It cannot survive a net outflow, because it has very little asset backing. Something is going to crack in the Tether/Binance area. Binance is giving some people 200x leverage.[3] That never ends well.

What is OTT?
I'm not sure how great this is, though, from a security perspective. When I select Firefox as my autofill provider on Android, I get this message:

> "Make sure you trust this app"

> "Firefox Beta uses what's on your screen to determine what can be autofilled."

So, unless I'm mistaken, it sounds like the OS gives the selected app special privileges to read what's on the screen (at all times?). I would much rather have a standalone, single-purpose app doing this than a gigantic browser. The former is much easier to secure.
I'm not sure, however, I think NVC has made people feel a lot of things. Some people feel incredibly grateful for it, as it may have saved their lives. Some people feel incredibly angry at it, as someone in their life almost forced them into using it when they didn't want to. Others may have lots of other reactions to it. Most people I've met, who have heard of it, seem to have a strong reaction to it, with few people seeming to feel indifferent to it.

I assume that a lot of the negative reaction to it is how others seem to force people into doing NVC because, as I mentioned, it often seems like a two-player game. So, if I learn NVC and you don't, then I can sometimes try to force you to speak the NVC language so that we're playing the same game.

But, again, I'm not quite sure. Although now I'm more curious to dive into the reviews of it to learn why people feel attracted to or repelled from it.
Thank you, Tim
Weight, that is mostly coming from safety requirements (NCAP starts come with heavy weight and increased fuel consumption). That car with a modern engine can go as low as 3 liters/100 km, I did drive regular cars with 3.5l/100km over a 200km trip.
> Israeli national export controls

A crash course in Israeli national export control:

1. You can sell everything except for nuclear tech (and maybe even that, I don't know).

2. If the client is not officially an enemy of Israel then do whatever you want, we don't give an f'ing f'.

3. If the client _is_ officially an enemy of Israel, then all sales must be conducted through official (secret) state channels. Independent side-action will not be tolerated (see the cases of Nahum Manbar or Shim'on Sheves). This might be a hassle, but the upside is that the courts will uphold complete secrecy of your affairs and the military censorship (yes, Israel has that) will likely prevent any nasty exposes.

4. If the US throws a tantrum, then sections (1.) and (2.) are abrogated. But don't worry: There plenty of generals and other high-ranking retired officers are in key positions in politics, and a bunch of us are wanted for war crimes anyways with ICC cases pending, so... we're all friends here and we got your back.
I don't think losing control after an A round is totally normal.
> Maybe you aren't everyone.

I didn't say "all students".

> a number of colleges and universities that don't use grades

An example of a prestigious university that doesn't use grades would help your case.
I guess they haven't done this, but isn't this trivially mitigated by hiring someone to create the accounts, outside of the US entirely, in a jurisdiction where T&C violation doesn't mean anything? Especially if the accounts are needed in bulk, where it makes sense not just to work around the legal arguments but simply economically.
> So begging is your business model?

Begging is a valid, profitable business model. Louis CK[1] and Radiohead[2] famously did it.

Although nonprofits don't get to retain profits or pay taxes on them, they can certainly earn a profit, which means there are thousands of organizations whose business model is begging. You may be interested to learn that the (supposedly) ultra-capitalist Ayn Rand Institute is among them.

> How else are two entities supposed to come to legally binding terms without a contract?

The question is what's the threshold for the existence of a contract. You both go into a conference room with lawyers and negotiate over the terms and sign it in ink, that's some pretty good yes vibes. Somebody clicks a button on an un-negotiated text form in a piece of software, maybe it should take more than that.

> I'm all for a little bit of lenience when an end user didn't read the terms but you think NSO group doesn't have a lawyer and just scrolls down and clicks accept?

Tons of bureaucracies do exactly that. The boss says they need a way to do this thing, so some Danny from the IT department finds some software to do that thing, it's free or costs less than the amount he's authorized to spend from petty cash, so he clicks accept and installs it on the user's machine.

> They'd have to prove that Apple was negligent to sell software with flaws, but that's gonna be tough considering that much software has flaws.

It does carry a strange irony when Apple keep saying they have the best security after iOS has been very badly hacked by nation state actors, though. I'm not saying their security isn't good, but I would have rathered "we're fixing X things" than security hyperbole.
It sounds like it essentially is written in C. INTRODUCTION.md says:

> As for insufficiency in compiling optimization of go language, we decided to use C/Clang to write and compile core computational functions, and developed a set of asm2asm tools to translate the fully optimized x86 assembly into plan9 and finally load it into Golang runtime.

Github says it's 59.6% assembly and 6.5% C. Possibly the assembly is just the checked-in result of compiling+translating the C?

Gross that they have to do this. I know the Go folks really prioritize speed of compilation, but I wish they'd support debug builds with their own backend and release builds with LLVM so you could get this kind of performance when actually writing Go. I see there have been a few attempts at Go + general-purpose backend (gccgo, llgo, gollvm) but none seem to use the official Go frontend written in Go, so I think they're doomed to be second-class at best.

edit: and/or, if the Go folks and GCC and/or LLVM coulds could negotiate a shared ABI (not necessarily switching to the platform's default C ABI but having "cc --abi=special-golang-stack-copying-thing"), folks could just link against something compiled in C/Rust/whatever without requiring this separate compilation+translation step (the high-maintenance, high-performance path) or CGo overhead (the easy but slow-for-frequent-calls path).
When I do carpentry, I make and use wooden jigs when I identify situations where I know my hands will not be steady enough. This is good poka-yoke.

Except distributions can manage their own flatpak repo. Using flatpaks as a format != using Flathub.

This is what Fedora does, for example.
> Marx was not writing a plan of action

Then he failed his own "the point is to change it" test.
Right now in the datacenter CPU usage is considerably more expensive than RAM usage. Ram consumes comparatively little power, whereas burning hot CPUs+GPUs are the reason datacenters are favored near cooling water and power stations. 2.48 vs 12.23 seconds for Java and Go is a big deal for how many solar panels or tons of coal are needed to run an app on Xeon or Epyc instances, whereas 1.7GB vs 0.4GB for Java and Go, a 4x difference in low-power memory usage, is not so big of deal.

At any rate I did link to the full table so everyone can see the mem usage, source listings, etc.
Maybe this is a way to achieve that?

No - what has been proved is that Marx’s theories don’t limit the effects of the machinations of assholes.

If there is one thing a political system should do, it is this.

> I take if you also think Adam Smith should be discarded because parts of "Inquiry into the Wealth of Nations" doesn't map well to modern capitalism?)

I don’t think it should be discarded, but I do think that we know enough about the problems of capitalism that we shouldn’t be claiming that Adam smith has written a prescription for our times.

> Here's a real test of a free thinker. Are you willing to read "dangerous ideas" for yourself? Or do you just allow yourself to be steered by what you hear people repeat?

Have you considered that free thinking means doing your own thinking? That means being able to recognize when an ideology is past its sell by date and not fetishizing a particular historical figure as being uniquely insightful.

I'm not a legal expert but shouldn't that be stupidly easy to deny?

Judge: did you, NSO agree to the Terms and conditions by pressing "I Agree"

NSO representative: No, Your honor.

Apple Lawyer: Then how did you gain access to my clients services?

NSO Rep: A totally unrelated third party gave us 100 unlocked iPhones as a free gift. We never saw the terms and conditions, nor agreed to them. We can fully prove our claims. [edit: (fully proves his claims)]

Apple Lawyer: (spluttering) but... but... but...

Judge: (bangs gavel) case dismissed!

This is assuming NSO were far- sighted enough to actually create such a paper trail. Also, since Apple is disputing more then 100 accounts, maybe such a defence would be ruled as improbable, or some other legal jargon. Maybe someone better informed can chip in.
It all depends on the product, designers, market, product owners, marketing team, and target audiences

Some products would have different funnel for the lifecycle of their product. Sometimes it might make sense to do one thing for a specific funnel and might not on a different context.

However, that assumes we are making decisions based on data.

Sometimes a team / company can will make decisions even if it is not optimal in terms of conversations because that's what they feel like doing.

It is mentioned here: https://github.com/bytedance/sonic/blob/a577eafc253adb943924..., but it isn't included in the benchmarks graphs. Seems this repo is specifically focused on Golang and isn't necessarily motivated by being the fastest JSON [de]serializer on the planet.
That's the wrong framing. I suspect the reality is that many 20th century European law-books were written to protect workers and state from exploitative/criminal business owners. Rightly so.

It's an accident that the most important bits of corporate and labor law don't distinguish between a 300-person shoe factory and a 20-person series-A startup. They weren't around when these concepts were codified and written in stone. The systemic and personal consequences are unfortunate but impossible to prevent.
No, I know, but Elmedia does support FLAC, and whatever I was using before I got that. And of course, almost every Android app supports it.
Cloudflare workers != js workers. Kinda seems like that's what you are talking about at the end. In my understanding, Cloudflare workers, and "edge" stuff generally, are more like ephemeral server processes that can happen per request, which are backed by some kind of extensive infrastructure that cloudflare, aws, et al can provide.

Its not a server, but the promise a server will be there if someone hits that endpoint. Anything client side is not changed.
> Being an SoC allows you to save a certain amount of overlap, e.g. you don't need separate memory controllers for the CPU and GPU, but none of that stuff uses a significant amount of power.

It absolutely uses more power to have things on separate dies. Why do you think monolithic designs like this are preferred for mobile first products? It's certainly not because it's cheaper or easier. SoCs like this typically have lower yields and higher costs--you do it because in return you can squeeze out better power and efficiency while also saving space on the board.

> It's not matter of not caring. You can get PC laptops with similar performance and similar weight and 10 hours of battery life instead of 16.

This is just so emphatically not true though. Like I'm going to need to see the workload you're referencing where a device with similar benchmarks across the board (CPU and GPU) gets 10 hours of real world battery life without weighing 5 lbs.

Like I have in my possession as a daily driver a 2020 MacBook Pro that uses an Intel IceLake chip--fairly recent tech! If I'm doing my actual work on it--a bit of Docker, Chrome, and an IDE--I'm lucky to make it much past lunch. A fairly recent Intel chip, that gets positively embarrassed performance-wise by an M1, and can barely turn in 6 hours of real usage.

I want to see this system you have that performs like an M1 and turns in 10 hours of real world battery usage.

> Or you could wait a few months for PC laptops on TSMC 5nm which will have better power efficiency.

You could have already had it for well over a year now with Apple. And by the time this mythical laptop you're speaking of arrives, Apple might have already moved on to the next node. But hey, it's your life not mine. Keep waiting if it pleases you.
I don't think any trailer can do Arcane justice. The animation style varies quite a bit across the series. (Not as much as Love+Death+Robots, but still quite a bit).

Without spoiling anything, I'll just say there's a large supply of scenes that are animated incredibly beautifully and in very unique ways. Arcane is the first series that made me cry PURELY from the beauty of the animation. (The plot is great, but nothing exceptional -- This is a series I love just for how well it's animated and how well it plays with its own music)

In the table/dataframe -> hypergraph dataframe transform @ https://github.com/graphistry/pygraphistry , we do `hypergraph(multicolumn_table, direct=True | False)['graph'].plot()` , which renders hypergraphs as a regular graph. That lets you pick. Saves a lot of wrangling!

Consider exploring some logs of customer activity or security events. A hyperedge becomes either:

- a node of a bipartite graph. Ex: each log event becomes a node connecting the various entity nodes it mentions. Event <> IPs, accounts, countries, ...

- .. or a bunch of pairwise entity<>entity edges. Ex: connect each IP<>account<>country directly, and label each edge with the hyperedge event id it came from.

In both cases, you can now directly leverage a lot of traditional graph thinking, and in our case, GPU acceleration & visualization.

Other systems might render hyperedges as say circles encomposing their nodes, but that's trickier at even small/medium scales, so I haven't seen much widely popular

I increasingly just directly equate 'logs' with 'property hypergraphs' and skip the relational step. Funny enough, a lot of our enterprise+gov work is undoing the weird tabular & taxonomy optimizations of SQL engines that leak into the user experience when we're to get simple 360 views for users. It's cool an org built out 10,000 tables, but..... :) Same thing when we're doing graph neural networks: logs => hypergraphs (encoded as bipartite or regular property graphs) => event embeddings / classifications / predictions .

On the other hand, Ebola's animal reservoir remains uncertain. The implication of the question is that all animal reservoirs are easily and quickly discovered, but just because that's true for some examples doesn't mean its universally true, and doesn't mean that lack of a known animal reservoir is strong evidence against the existence of one.
