How much time does a transfer like that take for tens of thousands of dollars

Asking because I don't know, and because I suspect it takes longer than I'd like if I'm trying to get my payment in first to secure the item (like I have had to do when buying used cars from private parties.)

Is it? Even on gigabit LAN there's a noticeable amount of latency. For web surfing it's mostly passable, but for text/code editing it's very annoying.

How much do I agree with you, we can't afford as a society careers politicians, in Italy we've had for a while the five stars movement who said that politicians should be citizens temporarily lent to the common cause, who then go back to being citizens, but if you are a career politicians, then whoever you hit, is a lost vote, so you have no motivation to act, I think congressmen, deputies, 1-2 terms, then home, and I guess in that case, you are subject to the promise of a job from a big corp., I am not really sure how we can fix our society right now, but I think we have to as soon as possible

I think that's a great point about visibly accomplishing something. I think a lot of the things that a government accomplishes happens more invisibly, in the background, whereas billionaires (especially the Bezos, Zuckerburg, and other B2C billionaires) do so with a much more direct relationship with people—and spend a lot of money promoting how well they've done things.

How much is the government doing well but we just don't see? Conversely, how much of business is doing things that harm people that we also don't see?
The ads is just Firefox trying to become independent from the Google money flow. I don't like it either but at least they're not tracking.

They should just charge a fiver a month for Firefox Sync IMO. It's a valuable feature. I have no need for pocket and VPN.

But the web works just fine on FF. I have no issues with it save for the odd site that just blocks it. If I ever have problems it's always due to my extensive adblocking.

Cruse missiles are really good, no question about that. But they are expensive, and hard to deploy (you've avoided the counter-battery issue in your response, and it's a bit unfortunate as the biggest issue with missiles is “how do you protect the missile launcher from being taken down before they fire”). China can probably do it, Russia also, but anyone else would probably be out of luck. (well, there's submarines also but that's another topic).

> How do you plan to launch your drones?

Ideally, from scattered units operating with light vehicles (say, a pick-up with a trailer). The key part is being able to launch your attack without being destroyed first. And as I said earlier, I think you're overestimating the number of needed drones by several orders of magnitude.
So, the only reasons it is hard to statically link glibc--the NSS mechanisms for stuff like DNS and user authentication--are the same reasons why statically linking your libc on Linux doesn't make sense in the general case either: the mapping of names to identifiers on both the network and the machine are not part of the system call interface and are instead a property of the specific distribution you are working with; so, if you attempt to statically link that behavior and then run your binary on a fancy new Linux distribution, it won't be able to look up hostnames or usernames correctly. This is why for a while I had the only working busybox binaries for Android: I was the only person who went to the extra effort to NOT statically link it, but instead to port it to bionic.
How about no?

Do we really need someone as deranged, corrupt, and irresponsible to get involved on this?I mean seriously, just because he has money/influence/power doesn't mean jack shit.

If anything, Zuck would be stupid to response to this "open letter": he PROFITS from the fact that some people are mentally ill.What a joke.If you want people to be more stable mentally, you would tell them to f#ck off social media, socialize, eventually keep some traditions or norms within smaller groups which create stronger bonds, those are things that keep you sane.Oxford at this point repeatedly showed that they're a shit institution, and i have to wonder if there's any substance on this besides a PR move.
At this point we basically have to assume it's everywhere. If it's not already, it will be shortly

I don't even understand what's going on with this one. Transcribing the blurb from the clip, from interviewing the residents of the house:

"[The people who live in the house] have a friend who has a contract with an Amazon warehouse in China. They say whenever that friend's contract expires, she will send the packages to their house for the family to sort and then send back to Amazon for the company to sell."
I agree. And Tesla isn't alone in this. Waymo was doing the same thing in the early days (no idea if they still are)
At some point, you may have to look beyond traditional employment situations to best make use of your technical knowledge and experience. However, it might mean moving to consulting and possibly 'selling' yourself on a more regular/periodic basis.

I have soldered chips to boards .... close to 40 years ago, and plugged enough cards/cables together to last a lifetime. (I really don't like hardware stuff!). I've done basic Z80 and 6502 assembly up to ... web stuff today, and loads in between. I can passably describe the innards of some layer of various SQL engines, have compiled linux kernels and various packages from scratch, configured mail gateways, debugged DNS, setup/managed firewalls and intrusion detection systems, can often diagnose various application performance issues from description of symptoms alone, and can do many other things 'tech' related. (not trying to brag - loads of people here can likely do all of this, and more, and better, than me).

BUT... this set of skills often doesn't fit well within a traditional 'job' role. Finding situations where people can get/extract value from a wide variety of your skills is difficult (but can be rewarding when it's done).

I also can't do leetcode stuff, struggle with some 'point/click' things that others seem to find natural, and it can take me longer to 'produce' compared to others (although, I've often found myself cleaning up after others' projects when they leave).

I hope you have found (or can find) some situations that make the most of your skills, experience and perspectives!

Taking away the right (or punishing) of individuals (or groups) to boycott would seem unconstitutional at face value.

Where would the Civil Rights movement have been without boycotts?

I was once asked in an interview whether "The State of Israel had a right to exist".
I replied that no state has a "right to exist" but that individuals have a right to self-determination.
A human right that various international laws and conventions give both Israelis and Palestinians.
Needless to say, I did not get that job.

BTW, there was a good documentary about this recently in DOC NYC: https://www.docnyc.net/film/boycott/

As bad as this article makes AWS sound, it's actually the reason you should go with AWS over say Azure or GCP; when AWS goes down, its owners actually feel the pain with you, Microsoft and Google run their own stuff elsewhere...
They very carefully did not actually say that. The weasel wording used could be a routing configuration error, among other things.
Two questions come to my mind, slightly unrelated:

1) If there is such a stigma with "mental health", why do people not use a different term for it, e.g., "emotional health"?

2) Why do they only focus on the impacts these platforms have on children (younger humans), do these platforms not have similar harms to us older humans?

"How it works?

Digits are the first Ubisoft NFTs, playable in a HD game and stored on the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain Tezos. Compared to the Proof-of-Work protocol used with Bitcoin, the PoS protocol offers a more advanced and environmentally sustainable alternative. PoS blockchains work on a consensus mechanism that does not rely on complex computational efforts to validate transactions and therefore does not incentivize extreme amounts of energy consumption."

Of course, you could save even more energy by storing this on a database. What a absolute meme. A decentralized item that can only be used in a centralized gaming company.
Feels kinda weird to mentally put myself in the position of Zuck the billionaire robot, but the letter does read like a counter-example from Dale Carnegie's books. The words ‘profit’ or ‘revenue’ aren't mentioned once—instead it's just ‘why don't you do this thing we want you to do’.

Edit: I think it might even help to imagine a ‘comedy in characters’ of this situation:

Previously in FB.

— Zuck, they say FB is bad for the brain!

— Well, how bad, if this is gonna blow in our faces?

The round of interviews I just completed, everyone I talked to sent me a link to their calendar and asked me to pick my own time to meet. Even for the longer onsite interviews I provided times I was available and they scheduled within those.

I don’t know if that’s just a remote thing or what.
Not OP. Last year, Dante Labs ran a deal around the Rare disease day (Feb 28). After submitting my documentation, I got 30x WGS for €260.

Interesting, I've never had that happen in heavy usage. I've had cases where the called processes blocked for some reason but that was solved by adding a timeout.

I've discovered a bunch of music through Beat Saber, and Stepmania (and Mungyodance). The problem with that is there is a sort bias with the track selection. For example I enjoy the gameplay of SDVX but it's hard to find music for it that isn't fast paced Japenese electronic music.
These points are rather vague and seem to refer to specific things that the OP encountered in his career. I mean: what are we supposed to make of “music is not inherently social”. That sort of implies “I’ve encountered many people trying to build social features into music platforms, and these didn’t seem to provide any value to customers”.

Cause otherwise music is definitely a social thing…

And the same comment applies to nearly all the points there…
Hi all, appreciate the input! I may respond to specific comments but to address some general comments/questions:

- Of course I want to spend time with my partner and don't see this as the "way to fix everything".
- The literature surrounding my partner's disease calls it a "rare disease", but the number of patients in the US are in the 10's of thousands. I'm not trying to find a new associated gene/SNP with the disease, just reference against what research has been done by others.
- The diagnosis is FSGS, and there is a history (since childhood) of high cholesterol.
I think panpsychism just needs to be explained well and probably most people would be onboard with the idea or at least comfortable accepting it. I thought it was a little wild at first but after reading "Galileo's Error" by Phillip Goff it seems ok. Panspychism it self covers so many theories too.

In my personal experience psychedelic use seemed to almost solidify materialism for me. The idea that reality, your self and soul is nothing but an illusion is uncomfortable but I think tripping can reinforce that idea.
Surprised to see that IPv6 still isn't the default/standard after all these years
That, and the issue where your Nvidia graphics card simply won't work over Thunderbolt 3 (or at all, for that matter). It's a long-standing and frankly petty omission that really leaves me wondering how serious ML researchers get their work done on the platform...
I see, thank you. As an aside, you would not decline the transliteration of a foreign name in Greek. They used to "Greekify" the names a century ago and decline them, but now that sounds extremely dated and odd.

The grammar applies whether the name is Russian or not with some edge-case exceptions that can roughly be described as 'when it sounds weird and/or like something else' i.e. they tend to be almost 'phonetic'. A name ending in -berg or the like, though, is a perfectly regular (for Russian) name that could just as easily be a Russian last name. An example off the top of my head:

You're completely missing the point. I'm not saying that "It's bad for Microsoft to promote a new type of interface that they're trying to get out there."

I'm saying it's ridiculous that Microsoft gets so much "air-time" over it and that professional IT people are paying attention as if this were something special, when it's not particularly difficult to do a really good interface that the user can dig in and modify if they choose.

I'm reminded of the "addition" of Dark Modes to things, as if flippin' Windows 95 didn't let you change your theme way way way back when.

Yeah and then a few updates later their holy telemetry tells them nobody uses it anymore (makes sense as it's much harder to find) and it gets cut.

It goes like this a lot. They listen too much to telemetry. Especially because a significant part of their userbase will turn it off.

A rack out isn’t going to cause as much an issue as we’re seeing. Most people wouldn’t even notice.

This is a situation that’s fairly significant. Degraded isn’t really what’s happening considering how much is borked — including their own console. That’s an outage. That’s not an echo chamber situation when basically an entire DC is inaccessible

Source? I'd be surprised if Google does not dog food. Though, I guess when GCP had their recent global load balancer outage but neither Gmail or Google search went down maybe not.

A lot of AWS is very old and it's very hard to go back and make everything nice and reliable without breaking things when you have a shitload of customers 24/7 using your services.

So yes, in theory much of AWS's services are probably very reliable and distributed across AZs and regions, but in practice there's likely a whole bunch of debt where one thing gets fucked up and it cascades.
Can you elaborate on panpsychism being your daily driver? Wikipedia article suggests it has something to do with minds being present throughout the universe. Are we talking animals? Rocks? Everything? Computers?
300k a year, I'm living in an RV or a van, banking my pay, for as long as I can deal with it. Work provides showers, laundry, etc.

I know lots of people who own 5-6 bedroom houses, and turn the basement into 2 more, and split the rent, so they can bank their pay. And retired after 10 years.
Despite having had the relevant experience, I've always found it hard to understand why this happens.

You know you're taking a drug that reliably induces feelings of "oceanic connectedness". Why should you change your worldview as a result? All kinds of things can change the way you feel temporarily, but most of them don't leave you thinking that you got insight into the way things really are.

Maybe it's that psychedelics also induce feelings of having discovered something important, and a lot of people don't try to double-check whether they actually did.
Makes me think about how other businesses have handled user addiction and whether they did so on their own volition—casinos, bars, lottery, etc.

Just spit-balling: I think bars will kick people out once they've had too much to drink, sometimes from a legality standpoint, but also from a place of sympathy or even fear (this person will disrupt the environment).

How would you say other businesses have handled this without government regulation?

I hunt mushrooms, including morels, and if I’m being honest the hunt is more enjoyable than the eating. It’s fun to find the various species, but I don’t find that the flavor of morels is anything special or that I’m limited in the kitchen by not having them available.

My friend lives in very cold Alaska. She has an app on her car that lets her remotely warm her car, which is a requirement before driving because it's so cold. The AWS outage meant her phone couldn't talk to her car. She was 20 mins late to work because of that.

This is the future. AWS has an outage and your car won't work.

There is some interesting research[1] accounting for this via analogy to annealing: essentially that while using psychedelics (or a variety of other situations), a kind of disordering occurs that opens up an alternate phase of neural behavior where it's more possible to change course; then, after the trip (or whatever caused you to enter this more disordered state where free energy is higher), there is a "cooling" phase and some new order is arrived at.
