> It's our CEOs' legal requirement of fiduciary responsibility that causes these problems.

This is nonsense pretty much every time it’s trotted out. There is no objective “requirement of fiduciary responsibility” that governs every action a CEO might take in a given situation, especially not for dumb minutiae like “allowed unfettered downvoting.” If it was this simplistic, we wouldn’t need CEOs at all.

It's easy enough to dump the responses as HAR and run the little bit of of char code manipulation at the bottom (replace eval() with document.write() to see it). The button doesn't work in Firefox though, so I wasn't too surprised to get incomplete source code out too.
I don't see much mention in the changelogs for texture baking. I used blender for a website which has 3D models with baked textures, and the workflow for creating those textures was very convoluted. It's a great feature for applications where the lighting doesn't change, it just needs a better UI and workflow on top of it.

> e.g. know if the Israeli pilots thought they were attacking an Egyptian ship or an American one

The sailors would know because they have access to the same information that you do, but a greater incentive to actually do the reading. The Israeli pilots knew it as a US ship, their radio traffic questioning their attack orders - after visually identifying the USS Liberty as a US ship, was recorded and the transcripts widely known about. This happened several times, so unless the Israeli command center had the memory of a goldfish - they intentionally kept sending attack aircraft until they eventually got a pilot to pull the trigger. Why would they do such a thing? Because the US wasn't onboard with the Israeli preemptive strike and they didn't want a signals intelligence boat tipping off the Egyptians. Israel doesn't appear to reciprocate the fond feelings expressed by American politicians - the mere idea of the "Samson Option" is proof enough of that.
How Best to Use Your Words, Thoughts and Actions to Create Your World
As a general rule of thumb I think we need more adoption of nuclear technology to normalise the safe use of the technology, and nuclear would be a great fit for bases on the moon and on mars…

But the problem for Elon is regulatory. Doing anything nuclear requires navigating significant regulation from start to finish. I wouldn’t even be surprised if the regulations would require SpaceX to continue filing paperwork on Earth for any humans near a reactor on Mars being exposed to more radiation from space than the reactor is emitting.

This is the antithesis of how Elon likes to work. If he’s going to get people onto Mars they can’t go and die from air and the rockets can’t be trapped there and he’s going to want to be sure about that before he launches them.

In order to do that he’s going to want to develop multiple iterations of the chemical plant equipment on earth, testing it’s robustness reliability and effectiveness. They know the solar panels will work fine, if they don’t user super expensive ones they’ll be fine using lower efficiency and just adding more square meters of solar panels… but they can’t do that with the oxygen and methane production equipment. They need to know it will work dusty, with perchlorate contamination, with variable electrical supply, and probably even survive a military style airdrop in terms of rough landing with zero impact on its ability to generate and liquefy CH4 and O2. He could split his resources and add the development of a similarly complex reactor (the majority of the complexity is likely to be regulatory since shipment to and operating on Mars rather constrains the design space for a practical reactor) or he can use heaps of reliable panels, trust he can get enough mass to the surface of mars and focus entirely on the development of the critical chemical process equipment he needs on Mars.

Very cool. I did something similar a little over a year ago with a children’s book inspired by Dr. Seuss and generated by GPT-3. Then narrated by AWS Polly. https://twitter.com/frantzfries/status/1308515401253486599?s...
I learned on one of these and it reminds me of:

http://www.transmission-line.net/2011/07/zipses-law-and-its-...

Zipse’ Law prohibits multi-ground systems: “In order to have and maintain a safe electrical installation: All continuous flowing current shall be contained within an insulated conductor or if a bare conductor, the conductor shall be installed on insulators, insulated from earth, except at one place within the system and only one place can the neutral be connected to earth.”

This is one of the fluffiest, least aligned with reality pieces I have ever read on tree propagation, and I've read a lot of silly things about tree propagation.

If I want to propagate 5,000 trees I have a few options. I can do what this article describes, and fiddle with some sort of artisan method for collecting seeds, or I can do two much more realistic things:

Plant 20,000 seeds indiscriminately, knowing full well that many wont germinate, some of the ones that germinate wont reach the true leaf stage, most of the ones that reach the true leaf stage will take a good long while to reach 1', and of those that reach 1' I should expect to lose between 1/6th and 2/3rds in the next 2 years depending on the species, growing area, etc.

Or, more likely:

Take 7,500 cuttings from various different mother plants, propagate them using highly effective methodologies tailored to the specific needs of their species based on datasets that have been honed for decades, and lose roughly 1/3rd to the luck of the draw.

Propagating from seed is something you do when you need the benefits of sexual reproduction and hybridization (look at the chestnut for an example), but if you need a lot of plants in a short period of time you propagate from cutting for many different reasons.
I’ve got to imagine there’s dozens of comparable cities and that humans are just hopelessly and wonderfully romantic about what they think is the best.
Why not try something like Lego Mindstorms[1] or circuitpython devices from Adafruit[2]. Adafruit has some wearable project tutorials that could be fun[3]

Programming a device to do something in the physical world is motivating and interesting.

I was going to recommend Sphero RVR[5] or Bolt[6], but they are currently out of stock.

In this case, I would be charged 20% more for the identical hamburger either being delivered to my house or me picking it up from the store because of how I placed the order. It has more to do with lack of transparency on the platform and deceptive billing practices than value add.

Amazon uses their leverage to not allow vendors to charge 20% to pad their margins. F@#$ DoorDash for lying about prices on their platform and allowing vendors to pass it on to consumers.
Its everything in the graphql API section: https://docs.amplify.aws/cli/graphql/overview/

you create a graphql API spec and amplify builds all of the appsync resolvers and dynamo tables for you. Pretty good support for different auth methods and table schemas.

I still think a changelog may be useful. For example, if you are writing a library, a changelog should include a section for breaking changes. Ideally you should also be providing a migration guide, but a list of breaking changes should be done at a minimum.

Git history is also not ideal for giving to users since the history is primarily intended for developers. If you actually want to use git history for this, I actually think non-squash merges are better since you can have the merge commit be very high level and use the other commits for technical details and incremental changes. However, even if you do regular merges, you absolutely still need to keep your history clean via rebasing before sending out a PR.

Another tip for keeping your PRs clean without confusing people is to create a separate branch while working on feedback from the PR so you can still manipulate the history as needed while backing up your code to the remote server.

The bit order within a byte can be thought of as always big endian. In fact you can think of it this way for any multi-byte number (floating point too). The reason is that the CPU takes care of this all for you (because sanity). So what the little endian CPU is doing is saying “read 16 bit 0xcd 0xab from main memory” which results in it storing the number as “0xabcd” in the register. If you said “read 32 bits from 0xcd 0xab 0x00 0x00” from memory the CPU would see “0x0000abcd”

This is all internally consistent. However, if you said on your big endian machine “write the 16 bit number 0xabcd to main memory” it would store “0xab 0xcd”. Then you say “write those 16 bits to I/O and OS I/O routines don’t understand the structure you’ve assigned to memory so they just copy that to the wire. This leaves you with “0xab 0xcd” on the wire. Then your little endian machine says “read 16 bytes from the wire” and gets “0xab 0xcd”. But then you’re smart and you go “I was expecting a 16bit number here - cpu read this as a 16 bit number” and the CPU goes “main memory stores little endian 16bit numbers so I see 16 bit number 0xcdab” (because 0xcd is the least significant byte”.

The smallest addressable unit of CPUs you encounter is bytes whatever size the CPU vendor chooses that is in terms of bits. So a CPU would never read a little endian or big endian byte because it’s simpler to just pump the bits directly instead of swizzling them (easier to debug, analyze etc).

You could design a CPU that stored numbers in bit-order little endian or big endian but you’d basically be incompatible with all software out there and no language provides support for dealing with that because you’d be very niche.

Spying is intelligence collection. There many ways to collect intelligence. Some completely innocuous like going to a defense trade show and taking pictures. Or using satellites to capture imagery of sensitive locations or developments [1]. Military attaches at embassies who observe their host country’s military developments and operations [2]. These are capabilities that every developed nation has access to. For them not to use it puts them at a disadvantage.

You sign an offer letter, not a contract. Its basically a promise that if you show up on a given date that your employer will give you the necessary documents to sign to start employment, and what the terms of employment would look like. There is no legal protection for candidates who have had offers rescinded. Employment in the US is 'at will'. You can leave with zero days notice, your employer can fire you with zero days notice.

Elizabeth Holmes' Long-Shot Defense May Be All She's Got, Experts Say
This has nothing to do with mRNA (to the best of my knowledge). mRNA is just a means to an end to get an immunogen into your body. Issues of effectiveness are (as far as I know) entirely due to the immunogen and not the delivery method (ie mRNA).

Vaccines vary in effectiveness. Both the extent of immunity they confer and how long those effects last. A vaccine that's less effective than we might like is still a vaccine. I don't think arguments over what should officially constitute "immunity" are very interesting or insightful - it's a meaningless line in the sand. Ask instead about (relative to the unvaccinated) incidence of death, incidence of permanent effects, severity of symptoms, rate of hospitalization, rate of spread to others, and similar.

Hi Jason,

I posted this here originally, and wow this blew up, I think we've actually spoken over email as I was one of the earliest users of privacy. I've been using it for many years and abjectly love the service.

I don't object to you reissuing cards. Like I mentioned in my other comment, I actually see a lot of positives (no more prepaid issues!), however, only giving people 30 days to update their cards in dozens (I literally have 81 open privacy cards) is "not fun" and up until now, using your service has been smooth, painless and something which this change (mostly the timing of it) just completely deflated.

I updated like 4 or 5 cards so far, each one took me 5-10 minutes, on the outside I'm looking at (worst case) 13 hours of work I have to fit into the month of December (which with the holidays and year end biz items, is already the busiest).

Yesterday, your service was just a dream to use, today it is a burden I have to find hours of time to fix.

Sorry, I do truly love privacy and didn't post this to hurt you or privacy, but I hope you can extend the deadline.

Best of luck to you and all of the privacy team.

In the absence of hope, people gamble because the glimmer of a possibility gets them through the day. Whether it’s poor people buying lottery tickets or 19 year olds taking their father’s job at half the pay and no pension, you can’t suck all the hope out of a society and expect a rational outcome.

Perhaps that editorializing seems to push a narrative, when the Lancet study doesn't contain the word "massively" at all.

To quote the single-sentence summary of the study, "All study vaccines boosted antibody and neutralising responses after ChAd/ChAd initial course and all except one after BNT/BNT, with no safety concerns", flies in the face of what most people anecdotally know with regards to vaccine safety, which could be interpreted as "pushing a narrative".

Because it doesn’t make sense. Russia tried to hack our elections (both technologically and through a propaganda war) and probably had an impact in 2016. At the same time, there were relationships between our President and Russia that should have been illegal. We don’t know the extent of the impacts of those relationships but most media was pretty good at being honest about what we knew.
