except if it were solely up to TSMC this fab would not even exist. this whole project is a product of US pressure on Taiwan, as they would have much more leverage over the US if they kept their semiconductor expertise to themselves. let's not pretend the US would be so gung-ho if it weren't for TSMC, Taiwan provides little value otherwise
"Turn around time to get a server spun up was ~6-8 weeks." -> ok this one threw me for a loop. I can literally get an EC2 server spun up within minutes inside Amazon. But as others have stated org quality varies a lot. If you are dealing with an org that requires you to say at the beginning of the year exactly what budget you need, I could see that.

I'd assume that somebody who misses RSS will also be happy with pulling only few times a day and not every few minutes. That's why push became so popular but with a different subset of users. Everybody goes through a push-positive phase but some (like me) come to a conclusion that this is unhealthy and distracting in the long run - hence the fond memories of technology like RSS.
Yes, according to this StackExchange answer[1] star formation was thought to take around 10 million years (for low-mass stars - less for big stars).

That would be a rounding error on a reasonably precise and accurate estimate of the age of the universe (which I don't think we have yet.)

As for cosmological/other physical implications, it's a "well, now we know more" result.

Clearly making it happen will require a revolution in manufacturing, which may or may not already be underway, but making it happen for software required decades of continuous revolution in semiconductors and telecommunications.

Some kinds of analysis machinery, like GC, ICP, and DSC or DTA, are probably inherently fairly large; other kinds, like FT-IR, other kinds of spectrometry, TLC, HPLC, other kinds of liquid chromatography, XRF, XRD, and NMR, can be miniaturized and mass-produced. There hasn't been much pressure to do this because bio and chem labs don't care if their spectrophotometer costs US$0.12 or US$12000 or whether it weighs 100 mg or 100 kg; they need one to get their work done, they don't need it to be portable, and they aren't going to lose it because it stays in the lab. But that doesn't mean it can't be done. Even Victorian-era-style reagent testing can be made quantitative in some cases!
Same here. My laptop cost $400 in 2016 and still serves my needs perfectly.
At small scale the answer usually is "there are not just exact rules, you distinguish by looking at it and the standard is whatever yours is". I.e. take HN as an example: there are rules, and I assume dang has his own set of personal guidelines, but I'm fairly sure in the end someone getting banned comes down to dang checking someones history and going "ok, that's enough". Although here it's very much not a one-strike policy, which somewhat changes things, but the principle is the same. And as long as one person or a small team is doing the moderating, that's going to be consistent enough to work for a community. Also always an individual decision how much you're willing to tolerate "just annoying" - too much of that can also break a community. You also have the pattern of rule-lawyering by being obnoxious while staying just inside the formal rules if there are too strict rules and too little moderator leeway.

The problem with your usual social media giant is that a) you by necessity have large teams of moderators, so you get kind of forced down the path of trying to exactly specify each rule and b), IMHO more importantly, they are a community, but contain many of them, with different contexts making different things appropriate, and people having different expectations of what's appropriate and what's not. (you see that conflict also already happening on relatively-small HN) And of course the impact on the individual is potentially larger than if they just get banned from one small forum, so your struggles of implementing it well also have outsized impact.

Most smart doctors and scientists are reserving judegment at this point, because all of this is happening in real time, so any data to make a rational decision is incomplete. Smart people would know better.

It's hubris to have the confidence that you and the mainstream media do about a novel virus and a novel vaccine using novel vaccine technology.

And it's really bad to shut out dissenting opinions from public discourse especially when they're subject matter experts.

New Orleans had full confidence in it's levees backed by 99% of the scientists and engineers in the area, then Hurricane Katrina happened. People reported leaks in the levee's years before it happened and were ignored.

There are so many questions and conflicting or inconsistent data in the mainstream narrative. The fact that the media doesn't report anything conflicting is a huge red flag for me.

Whether Ivermectin works or masks work or quarantine works...it's all irrelevant.

One aspect is that for companies within EU it applies for everyone - i.e. if you're an EU company which serves 100% only Chinese and Brazilian individuals and noone within EU, GDPR still applies to you and how you must handle the data of individuals so they all get GDPR rights. Citizenship and residence matters only for foreign companies doing business in EU.
I typically vet dependencies by doing reverse lookups, e.g.:

What do you use for UI components? I recently built my first SvelteKit project and using Tailwind to compose UI components vs. Vue+Vuetify was like writing binary by hand instead of using an expressive modern language that abstracts away 99% of plumbing.

What takes 10 seconds and 20 chars in Vuetify takes 10~100 minutes and multiple components/sub-components written by hand in Tailwind in Svelte.

Of course talking about Tailwind isn't Svelte/SvelteKit specific: I just couldn't find a remotely comparable UI library for Svelte so I gave up and stuck with Tailwind to get the project done.
Right. But you have to have a structure capable of long-period oscillation to be vulnerable to that particular problem. That's an inherent problem for long span bridges, but a building has to have a big unsupported span to be vulnerable to that problem. Sports stadium scale, though... All that potential lift.

Math notation is hopelessly stuck in the 19th century and needs an update to the 20th. Polish notation with operators of known arity is an excellent way to ease natural scientists/mathematicians into a modern tree based grammar for mathematics without a soup of parenthesis, e.g. / 1 / 2 3 vs / / 1 2 3

A full s-expression based grammar for mathematics is unfortunately not something that you can write on paper and requires white space delineation to be readable. On a screen with something like emacs paredit both of those are a breeze however. The fact that higher order functions don't need a special notation is really freeing.
Worked there from 2011-2012 at the then LAB126(Cupertino) on the kindle Fire and project. Was a total dumpster fire filled with Ex Apple folks who liked to throw their egos adound(this was when Jobs was still alive). Because I was in the devices teams traveled to china 4 times within the year, got burnt out by my next level managers and his managers and finally quit after taking in my singnon bonus. Took me a decade to get over that experience and now I am back to the races this time interviewing for Level5 software engineering roles with the MAAGMA(F went meta)companies.
To put it in perspective: city-focused travel backpacks that were not hiking backpacks weren't common 8-10 years ago. The options were pretty much Tom Bihn, Patagonia, Osprey, Minaal, and Tortuga.

Anyways, Goruck bags were a welcome addition at the time because they were relatively discreet, easily accessible with their fold-open design, extremely well built (arguably overbuilt), and comfortable to carry heavy loads.
Why do you care if you're good at leetcode? Are you finding that it correlates with bad performance on real interviews?

Last time I interviewed (at ~5 YoE) I found that while Facebook and Google still have several "leetcode" style interviews, many other high-tier companies only do one interview of that type (e.g. Stripe, Dropbox). The rest are some combination of practical coding, discussing your experience, and working through design problems. And even the FB/Google interviews aren't as bad as they sound, because you often have an intelligent and engaged person on the other end who is trying to help you demonstrate your skill, unlike the relative vacuum of working through Leetcode problems by yourself.

You should be able to get really detailed information on the interview process up-front, either on Glassdoor or by talking to recruiters. Pick companies whose interview process emphasizes your strengths.

Maybe I'm dense but couldn't an attacker just put a qr code sticker over every space that all pointed to their own space? Then everyone would be paying for the attacker's parking.

I suppose this is harder to pull off with a lower benefit, and a higher chance of getting caught (i.e. fast acting law enforcement would know which car was in the free space).

To mitigate this, you might need space numbers posted. This is easy to verify that each space is different. But at this point, why even have a QR code?

Anecdotally, LC interviews are hardest when you're mid-career and get easier over time. As the main difference between a junior engineer and a mid/senior engineer is whether they can work autonomously, and an engineer with 3 years of experience rarely has good datapoints for invention/difficult projects. The only way companies have found to differentiate a strong hire from a no hire is by asking harder leetcode questions and expecting perfection.

As you get to more senior levels it seems like companies still expect you to do passably well on those questions - but make their decision based on other data-points such as impact/past projects etc.

So why don't insurance companies contract an independent lab to make their own medicine instead of paying ridiculously high prices for out-of-patent medicine? Of course, it would be a proper lab, with certifications and quality control, not some guy's basement, so it would be expensive, but on the other hand, the alternative is also way too expensive.

Specifically, indexes are limited to 767 bytes (some say 768?), which means 191 utf8mb4 characters. So your otherwise-innocuous VARCHAR(255) primary key breaks. I’ve seen this multiple times, e.g. django-celery probably still has this: https://github.com/celery/django-celery/issues/259.
There is no "we" here. There is personal choice about your own body. If you are scared then stay home and isolate. If you are not then go about your normal life. No once is forcing you to do anything.

Abu Dhabi owns the parking rights in Chicago. Personally I think having a private company control parking rates/enforcement makes sense because parking costs should be much higher than they currently are but that's not politically viable. By pawning the bad press onto some company politicians can avoid the downsides while pricing parking properly. Unfortunately Chicago is full of corrupt politicians who negotiated an unbelievably bad deal for the city, agreed that the biggest problem is that the city can never get rid of street parking or add garages.

Many of the types of analysis listed here are elemental analysis only, which are useless for trying to identify pharmaceutical analytes or determine their concentration.

Out of all of these, microfluidic liquid chromatography is the least science fiction. There's plenty of literature about it but nobody really "has it working", and the reality is that it's not likely to ever have the same capability as benchtop HPLC.

I think we also tend to adapt ourselves to the rules that we routinely break, but are surprised when we see others break their own rules. Driving a car in traffic becomes our baseline for what we think is safe.
> How do you implement that without absolutely draconian measures?

You don't, which is why I was thinking it had to be sarcasm. That said, it sounds just idealistic enough that someone would blurt it out without thinking.

The other part that is confusing is what's an efficient programming language? The answer is none. It's all about how programmers write their code. Sometimes you're optimizing for performance, but other times you're solving a niche problem.
>Where is the arbitrage? Mining crypto in Kazakhstan with subsidized energy can not do anything to reduce the MWh price in Germany. There is only up and up as energy is irrecoverably burned for crypto.

I already said in the comment that it is "probably not possible everywhere". But to clarify that hypothetical, the arbitrage would be reselling the energy to whatever energy use-cases exist in Kazakhstan that aren't subsidized (which probably exist since it's unaffordable to subsidize energy everywhere in a country without bound).

Also, really? Is that your standard for the merit of an argument? Whether Kazakhstanis will kill you over it? I explained in detail how the efficiency manifests in another comment [1], and (also) already said it doesn't necessarily cancel the negative effects of crypto.
