How millions of jobless Americans can afford to ditch work
Because a non-profit in the US just means that they can't distribute profits to the shareholders, not that they can't try to make money. They just need to use their profits to further their mission instead of distributing to shareholders. For example, the Gates Foundation could own a completely conventional farm, and run it like a conventional farm, but any profits they generate could be used to buy and deliver malaria pills to at-need countries (or something like that). That would be an acceptable reason a non-profit owns farmland.
Good to know, thanks.

Dude. My next door neighbor had his furnace installed upside down. The only reason the builder was able to sell that place at all is because the code inspector was 84 and, as far as we can tell, wasn't willing to walk up four flights of stairs to get to the furnace. Thankfully, the city agreed to pay to get it fixed. I had a nail through my plex piping behind a third-floor washer/dryer hookup. When it rusted out 8 months after moving in and my house flooded, the plumber he'd been seeing this all over the place. As far as the roofer who fixed my roof could tell, the contractor just stopped work before getting to the edges of the roof, failing to cover the edging nails.

This isn't a matter of commodity parts. As far as we can tell, the builder (who has been late on upwards of 80% of HOA payments, by the way) is simply a grifter who pissed off all the contractors working for him to the point they either did shit work on purpose, or just refused to finish and he brought in some random unqualified handyman to get as much as he could past overworked, too old, don't give a shit city inspectors.

And yeah, each individual homeowner could be smarter and know what to look for to find these signs when buying a house. Yet very few of us do. I don't have that kind of expertise on everything I might ever have to purchase, and again, was taking 30 mg of oxycodone a day for two years while still trying to work.

I'd be glad to believe this is some isolated incident, except ever since moving here, every contractor I've ever had out to fix anything has told me they keeping seeing this kind of fly-by-night, has no clue what they're doing builder popping up and hiring lowest bid subs and then running out of money to actually pay them, constantly seeing work stop and people walking off the job, to the point that the only people willing to do urban work are largely unqualified, low grade tradesmen. It's endemic to the industry right now, seemingly a result of so much free money floating out there that anyone with a hundred grand in capital and no experience doing anything remotely related is now qualified to buy a bunch of land and become a homebuilder.

I wouldn't complain at all that a well built home is unreasonably priced. The problem is, whether I'm willing or not, I don't have the means to buy a two million dollar home.

Well, you see... that's just it.

There is no direct substitute for Excel offered by any other vendor.

Similarly, PowerBI has no direct competition with even a tenth of the capabilities. Before then Analysis Services + Excel was absolutely the best, and nothing else could hold a candle to it.

Active Directory + Group Policy had no viable competition, and still doesn't.

For orgs that must be on-prem only, Microsoft Exchange only had Lotus Domino as a vaguely equivalent competitor. There are no open-source equivalents.

InTune + Windows + Azure AD + Hello 4 Business is hard to beat. You can assemble a mish-mash of vaguely compatible products, but it's a lot of work.

MS Teams is hard to beat for large enterprises because of the deep integrations.

I prefer a balanced outlook.

Sure, African Americans have had a disadvantage, and some corrections are due. But we also need to listen to thought leaders like Thomas Sowell, Carol Swain [1] and others. They hold the idea that education (not direct payment) is key to helping others escape poverty. Teaching how to fish, not giving away fish, so to speak.

Lichess has some good lessons especially for beginners but they don't have audio like chess.com's. I think they are good though and what is neat about them is they are based on the studies feature, so anyone can create an interactive lesson on Lichess and share them. When my kids got interested in chess I created Lichess accounts for them.

Some of chess.com's content helped me when I first started playing again, but I later found other free stuff that's just as good. It is nice to have it all in one place but I cancelled my membership when I found out I only got 25 puzzles a day with my "gold" membership. That is just lame.

It does, but that consumable releases no CO2 or other greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. That seems to be the clear and present danger that "renewables" are trying to limit. Nuclear accomplishes this, and has the possibility that we could use it to sequester carbon if enough capacity was built.

Would one call geothermal power non-renewable because the radioactive decay in the earth that heats the interior isn't replaceable by a human?

How about all of the hydrogen atoms that irreversibly fuse into helium in the sun, not to mention the materials to make the solar panels and wind turbines to harness that power?
Retarded* timing

Advanced timing + turbo = boom.

Increased charge density from >atmospheric pressure causes faster flame propigation and pushes the fuel closer to its knock point when compressed.

Turbos also run a richer mixture under load to cool the intake charge.

Richer mixture and a comparitively later burning and therefore hotter exaust stream increase exhaust temperature (along with the ability to produce more power aka burn more fuel)

Interesting, I find the exact opposite. Measuring things in terms of pawns give me a feel of how far behind I was from optimal play, whereas with the percentage, it's quite abstract. What does 70% accuracy mean?
The average commute is 25 miles round-trip. Less than 2% drive > 100 miles a day, and far less than 1% drive 150+ miles.

Most EVs have a 300+ mile range with several pushing 350. It would work as a commuting car for 99% of the population without needing to charge except at home overnight, and the average person (25 mile round trip) can go over a week between charges.

Saying EVs can't replace gasoline-powered cars is nonsense.

Trucks - same thing. The Tesla Semi is said to have a 500 mile range on one charge fully loaded with 80k lbs, and it's the first iteration.

Aircraft - no, li-ion is too heavy. We know it won't work for planes. But replacing gas-powered cars and trucks would make a big impact.

Exhaust gas is hotter on turbo engines. It’s why you have to watch exhaust gas temperature like a hawk when off road. High revs with little movement causes EGRs to melt down. 450-650C.
> IMO turbo cars are very dirty "under boost". Often turbo cars are tuned rich (more fuel) to prevent detonation. They can have great emissions just cruising around, but the second you build boost....not so much.

Most modern turbocharged cars run direct injection and high metal loading catalysts and target lambda=1 even under boost, which causes tuners' brains to melt upon seeing the factory tune.

Detonation is controlled by less aggressive timing and various direct injection strategies, while high EGTs and NOx are addressed by the high precious metal loading in the cat.

After an extended amount of time in full load these cars will eventually enter catalyst or turbine protection and start dropping lambda, but this is uncommon amongst daily driving conditions (even under boost).

The rest is true, I agree - there is no practical way that a part which spins at 180,000rpm and pressurizes the intake manifold (introducing a ton of complexity to the PCV system, engine packaging, and everything else along the way) is going to be as reliable as a naturally aspirated engine at the same cost. But, if this comes with enough advantages to make the cost expenditure worth it, they can be made reliable.
disk player? I'm talking about wrecking SSD drives.
i remember back in 2014 trying to find a decently priced and widely available smartphone that could be repurposed into a secure hardware wallet. replacing the operating system was possible for a lot of phones, but after a lot of research i could never find a phone that didn't either require binary blob drivers or was fully open in terms of firmware both on the application processor side and the baseband side. (even if that meant disabling the baseband, which was desirable anyway)

i wonder if that's still true today. although i suppose there are a lot of hardware wallet choices now.
Yes zen mode is amazing. You’d be surprised at how much better you do when you just focus on the game vs paying attention to your opponents rating.
Well if I re-read your comment, you technically don't say anything too controversial: "so many" isn't really countable.

But the implication is that compromises were found because those firmwares were open and/or that closed firmwares suffer fewer similar compromises. Which is what I would question.
It’s Time to Break Up with Airbnb
This is a worry, but it's not as bad as you might initially think. The first thing to notice is that even though the "interface pointer" got fatter, the implementation got much leaner, as it no longer contains the vtable. Vtables are now shared between instances of the same type, so total memory use has gone down, and implementations can be packed more densely. If you're worried about overall cache usage, this is a net positive. The first load, from the fat pointer, is very likely to be in cache. The second load, from the vtable, will be in cache if you have used the same type recently. Which is likely if you have thousands of objects, you probably do not have thousands of implementations.

There is some additional latency because the virtual function load is now two pointer dereferences instead of one. However, C++ and Go both use double-dereference models like this, and it seems to be working fine for them. Additionally, if virtual calls like this are on your critical fast path, you have bigger problems :P
There are some but for of the projects I’ve looked at, you are almost certainly getting a better payout by selling the vulnerability (monetarily not karma wise) to zerodium et al.
You're completely missing his point. He was simply using "programming operating systems" as an example. His point still stands regardless of how easy you think something is or should be.
Brilliant! Going to go work on this now...
> this almost comes off as some kind of obvious discovery they've made

Except that it's not?

We are currently in a weird path-dependent state for GUIs. Because GUI toolkits are such a pile of detailed work, it takes a lot of effort to create good general ones. The ones we currently have were all designed prior to ubiquitous 3D performance, have a strong dependency on object orientedness, and were often designed around constrained CPU and memory.

None of this holds today. However, we still use the same toolkits.

The immediate-mode GUI stuff is interesting, but throws away all OS integration which means accessibility is right out the window. Responsive GUIs (see: every DAW (digital audio workstation)) all throw away GUI toolkits and implement their own.

Not to mention that 2D rendering with 3D hardware is NOT a solved problem. The NV_path_rendering extension is not available in Vulkan or DirectX, as far as I know. Text shaping is decidedly video card unfriendly. The number of "vector" renderers can be counted on one hand--and you don't need any hands at all to count the 3D native ones.

I welcome all the experimentation in this space. I just really hope we get some convergence to something interesting soon.

Hip Hop Song Linked to a Reduction in Suicides in the US
That doesn’t contradict what I wrote, though obviously there is a lot more detail and nuance that could be added here.

A few months after the second dose, 2 doses of the mRNA vaccines is insufficient to reduce peak viral load for breakthrough infections by the delta variant of the virus, making the vaccine less effective over time at preventing basic transmission and mild illness (the 2-dose vaccine was more effective with previous variants). However, a booster dose seems to make a significant improvement:

> By analyzing viral loads of over 16,000 infections during the current, Delta-variant-dominated pandemic wave in Israel, we found that BTIs in recently fully vaccinated individuals have lower viral loads than infections in unvaccinated individuals. However, this effect starts to decline 2 months after vaccination and ultimately vanishes 6 months or longer after vaccination. Notably, we found that the effect of BNT162b2 on reducing BTI viral loads is restored after a booster dose. These results suggest that BNT162b2 might decrease the infectiousness of BTIs even with the Delta variant, and that, although this protective effect declines with time, it can be restored, at least temporarily, with a third, booster, vaccine dose.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01575-4

* * *

For the omicron variant, there is still further reduced effectiveness of these vaccines on basic transmission and mild illness (only 70% effectiveness after a 3 shots; I don’t think there’s much data yet about viral loads), though protection against severe illness should still be robust (but reliable data about this will not be available for another few weeks or months).
Well, when combined with an integer overflow at least.
started off with chess.com and moved over to lichess years ago. Haven’t looked back since. Yeah sometimes it takes a while to join a game if you are trying to just play casual, but all in all I like it better. Can’t believe it’s mostly ran by one guy.

It is one of the variants of qname minimization.

I wrote the draft algorithm that appears in appendix A of the first experimental RFC describing qname minimization https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7816#appendix-A

I wrote it because I wanted more specific advice about how qname minimization should work, and I deliberately aimed it at an ideal world, ignoring obvious interoperability problems. I hoped that this would provoke discussion and get people working towards a more realistic algorithm. But that did not happen until years later.

So the early implementations of qname minimization had to invent their own ways of working around the inevitable interop problems, and some of those solutions were quite creative.

I think the bare _ version is trying to avoid querying delegation points directly, so that it still gets a referral as it would have done using the full qname. And the _ also avoids problems with negative responses, which are often implemented very badly - it is common to make a mess of the distinction between NXDOMAIN and NODATA.

Firstly, I think its excellent and of great benefit that you are a CTO that has experienced what your fellow developers do.

However, you're the CTO and your role realistically shouldn't be developing, but it should be weighing up the decisions your team is making as THEY develop, building connections and looking at the forward strategy.

It sounds to me that you made the move into the CTO role, without fully making the break with what you used to do in your previous role as a developer.

LOL, flagged first time in 8 years for quoting the article. It plainly has a conspiratorial tone:

"A harbinger of our brave new world order has been revealed yet again"

"There are those who can’t stand that you can get into your privately-owned vehicle at any time of the day or night and drive virtually anywhere you please."

"These budding authoritarians view that and all other forms of personal freedom as threats to their power."

How am I supposed to take this content seriously. :/
I could argue statistics, but what matters if we're talking about why people think it's a conspiracy is the perception. I was there, and that was the perception. I'm also not sure why Japan having what consumers wanted and the US car makers not having it doesn't count as "besting".

GM's market share dropped faster after 1980, but it had already dropped 10% between 1964 and the early 70's. That's not nothing.
To understand why people find this unremarkable consider the record sniper shot is 11,000+ feet and someone thought the odds where good enough to make the attempt at those ranges. This is a worse gun and worse marksman but under 1/40th that distance. As to timing they get as long as they like to make the first shot and make two more in ~8 seconds one of which can miss.

It’s both fairly pedestrian and nobody would be talking about it today if he had missed all three. 4 presidents out of 44 where successfully assassinated in office. Ronald Reagan was shot and suffered a punctured lung, but survived.

Andrew Jackson survived an attempt due to a misfire. Gerald Ford was similarly fortunate as the assassin’s gun failed to fire.

Franklin Roosevelt was shot at but only a bystander died, Harry Truman pardoned an assassin who stormed where he was staying.

Theodore Roosevelt was shot while campaigning for reelection but wasn’t the current president at the time. He was hit, but the bullet first hit his eyeglass case and his speech so he survived.

That’s 9 attempts serious enough made history, and presumably several others failed earlier.

That seems like the kind of "hah! Gotcha!" loophole the authorities wouldn't fall for. For one, if they were allowed to do that full encryption in your situation and they wanted to, they could do that now; store data on Amazon S3, say. If they aren't allowed to now, they wouldn't be allowed to then either.

For two, encrypting on device means you can't login to iCloud web and see your photos and share them with people. That's not fully representing all user's interests.

For three, some of "their users" are the criminals whom the system is trying to catch; implying all users are the same and want the same thing and Apple wants the same thing as all users is overly simple.
