I agree this is good when dealing with hard and important problems; in which the vast store of human knowledge can come into play.

But just a digression, if solving the problem is not that important like with hobbies, it is usually more fun and more rewarding to solve the problem without googling; like playing a video game without looking at a guide beforehand.
The ADAS system in the Escalade has nothing to do with Cruise (confusingly). It’s developed by an in-house ADAS team at GM. Unlikely Kyle wants to become CEO of GM. Until recently the message seemed to be that Cruise was going to operate as it’s own company.
Putin is an oligarch, he considers the war in Ukraine worth it because it benefits him personally. Another cold war isn't impossible but Putin isn't doing this to destroy the west. Who is he going to sell his oil to?
I’ve been using it for about a week. Its been buggy the entire time.

It’s insanely useful. But I suspect it’s more of a POC than finished product.
I am well aware of how big the ask is and it will be bloody either way. Acquiescing to a manipulative tyrant is the more painful option in the long run not only for Russians but also the world.
GM, who owns Cruise, paid out claims for 124 deaths due to their ignition recall that they were aware of, did not disclose to regulators at the time, and had to forfeit $900 million to the United States government in 2014 [1]. Tesla's Autopilot has been attributed to 12 deaths [2].

Let they who is without engineering sin cast the first stone. Intent and risk appetite is a spectrum.

Yeah just like people in North Korea stopped putting up with the regime. Do you think it’s
their own fault as well?

Have you ever tried to fight against the regime at the cost of spending years in prison or to be killed?
It's pointless. You need to check your luggage and verify your documents anyway, electronic check-in is a waste of time... I used to do it, now I don't.

> Why?

> Does novelty have no value for you?

Absurd.

What kind of "novelty" is there for _you_ in eating food at an expensive restaurant that is not qualitatively better than that which you can buy more cheaply? That isn't novelty, it's foolishness.

I don't need Michelin star ratings explained to me, I know all about them. I also know that people make dumb decisions when their aspirations, jealousies and FOMO are tickled.
You can't buy it from Digital, and TOPS-20 isn't still supported.
I'm in, let me know when ready
I mean, the ones that come to my mind are variations on the market rate being closer to $150k and you are trying to get a deal lowballing people. Which of course every business is going to do, I don't think they are wrong to negotiate down, but I think being upfront about the range is more honest to candidates and results in a better hiring experience for the hiring company overall.

Forcing them to be upfront about the requirements for more money results in candidates better aligned with the requirements I would think. And leaving that to some negotiation without those requirements seems like it just opens the door for bias. I want to hire engineers and keep them based on their qualifications, and negotiating abilities is usually not one of them.
There's a fascinating relationship between tail recursion and continuations, because any non-tail-recursive function call can in principle be made tail-recursive through conversion to explicit continuation-passing style.

For added fun, that continuation can then be defunctionalized [1] back into a data structure. It can be argued that TRMC as implemented in the linked post is simply a special case of this more general transformation.

No value was created out of them moving these domains. It's not like Namecheap is doing any good here. They're just posturing without actually helping anyone with this move or affecting real change.
The rainbow LED lights so common in basically everything from keyboards to RAM modules to computer fans for the past near-decade now.
Meh, you need a domain name if you do not want to be at the mercey of Zuckerstein or whomever you decided to host your words.
That’s sort of like saying “the touchscreen is only one small part of the iPhone. The OS, the native apps, the camera, the App Store, app developers, hardware accessories, repair service are all part of the stack.”

You’re right, but that “small part” is absolutely critical to get right. It’s what allows the rest of the stack to be built; without that cornerstone, there’s no product.

There had been many attempts at touch controls for computers before the iPhone. Other smartphones were trying. None of them were remotely close to what Apple achieved with their first capacitive screen, and that began a massive change in the way people interacted with their device, and changed the world.

It’s like saying your roof is only “a small part of” your house. You’re right, on some level, but without that roof, there’s not much point in a really nice kitchen.
This seems to be the consensus, but if I don't eat late I feel much more awake and can't fall asleep well.
True, but managers are paid to do so.
Honestly anytime I see a post about a "special" keyboard I hope to find something nice for me and I am punctually disappointed by finding damn small/few keys keyboard.

I'm an Emacs-er and I see nothing quicker than a damn key - a bind. all modern keyboards do try to sell less at a higher price stating that's small is better (for the OEM I imaging)... Actually I'm on a classic Unicomp PC122 not much loving it's cheap plastic and switches nor the fact that in the USB version many keys are just duplicates, but at least I have a bit of unique single keys.

Sorry for the rant, I'm just exploded a bit...
You could also draw some faint dotted white lines leading right into a concrete barrier, and pretty much every lane-keeping system will follow them.
It’s very likely those LIDAR vehicles are used to gather ground truth to train depth models or calibrate sensors.
Yes, twice the screen, but also double the thickness, at least for the LCD and some supporting components. Figure on at least a few mm extra (LCD+touchscreen+case). I don't know of any material which can fold 180 degrees over and over, and not eventually succumb to fatigue. Maybe within the expected lifetime of a phone it will work under test conditions, but unless there is serious margin in the robustness, I would expect some to die at the fold in the real world, and that will never be good publicity.
In the best interest of future generations, we should specify that this count is in the Christian Era. Our descendants may want to reset the count (and change the duration of a standard year) at some point.

I think they mean the latter. When I lived in rural Wisconsin we'd get those at least once a month in the summer, usually from thunderstorms. The lights would go out for a second, and the clocks would start flashing 12:00. Haven't seen it happen since moving into town though.

Have you considered rerouting IO to different senses? Such as rumble signals to audio, or for that matter audio to the number pad? Or audio to a little external auxiliary display; rumble to an LED or two?

People can retrain parts of their brain to handle changes to senses in response to physiological change (typically losing a sense) -- it would be fun to see if the same effect worked for gaming.

If we were virtue signaling we wouldn't willingly be giving up a not non significant part of our business. This hurts us financially but it's the right thing to do, at least for us.

Your leader/country is already killing innocent civilians/ukranians. They are putting it all on the line with their lives. They didn't ask for this yet they are dying for it. Change needs to come and the only way it can is for the Russian population to put it on the line as well.
Internet doesn't help. I saw screenshots of bunch of chats between relatives in Ukraine and Russia in first couple of days. People from Russia claim that Ukrainians are brainwashed, russia comes to liberate them and only neo-nazis are fighting back and shooting into cities.

There is also articles on official new sites (like RIA) that neo-nazis are executing Ukranian Military personal that doesn't want to fight.

Internet doesn't help. It's all about bubble...

As very unpleasant example, my father who lived most of his live in Kyiv but lives in Germany for past 15 years or so, is consuming only russian media. He is sure that Ukraine is ruled by neo-nazis from bunkers in Kyiv and whatever Russia is doing it's appropriate. This was his opinion after first day. Don't think that it changed

They thought the war would last 2 days and prepared and article beforehand. The article reveals Putins ambition of creating a Greater Russia.

One thing restaurants will do that most people at home don't do is use a lot more salt and fat. Salt tastes good, fat tastes good.

I don't know Chez Panisse but for example if you want to improve the taste of pasta you cook at home add a tablespoon or two of salt to the water when you cook it.
I actually wanted to make sure there were no gifs. I feel like gifs ruin reviews and make low quality reviews get the most 'engagement'.

I really like the idea of a book graph. Heck, if the platform suggested that I read the references for books I'm currently reading, that would be interesting.
> your company has a lot of Ukrainian employees

That raises a question: how to find a domain registar without a lot of Ukrainian employees ?

According to the recent leak, Epik has them a lot as well.

Could we crowdsource such a list of registrars sorted by nationality of their employees to be prepared to the geo risks?
I've read a scientific text where the liquidity/holding cost of power is "guard labor", effectively a portion of the population is willing to work for the authoritarian ruler for money but this can only buy so much time. As the country becomes more unstable the need for guard labor increases until it reaches a critical point where the guard labor is powerful enough not only to suppress the rest of the country but also the authoritarian ruler himself leading to a classic military coup.
There's zero chance I sign up for this if I can't see it beforehand. It's not a good look for something that purports to be more open than goodreads.
Why? Staple crops can be planted very close together and there are many crops that can coexist on the same plot.

Crop nutrients are obviously a concern, but if you're only trying to survive for a couple of cycles seems totally feasible and could be extended artificially.
Who is on the selling side of this volume? Who would want rubles right now?
How does empathy have anything to do with this discussion? We were talking about how it can be more difficult to ignore the war and focus on something else in Europe, because you may feel the consequences in your daily life. Giving the news only 15 minutes of your time every day is not a very effective strategy, if you keep encountering the thing you are trying to avoid outside news.
The people who hold the guns do not use Namecheap they use official Russian registrators. Sberbank(which is under the sacntions) for example payed tens of thousand of dollars (https://habr.com/ru/news/t/591929/) for prolonging its domains(seems like corruption right?). Namecheap was used by simple developers, but I see that it was mistake to trust them.
This is to me a weird rant on how trying to extort money for domain names is not worth it anymore.

To the ones who found it interesting, what is your take on it ?

The main bit:

> The urban legend around domain names is about the same. Yes, some people made money registering domain names and selling them to the companies that rightfully should have had them. Others, well, they didn't fare as well.
"Make Linux look like BeOS 5" when?
I'm surprised (or I missed some part of the entire thread) nobody mentioned Bittorrent! The entire protocol and the original client was designed by one person: Bram Cohen. Think about some of the most efficient way to distribute large data over the internet and there is one single mind behind it. Of course, there are plenty of fancy GUI-powered clients today but the very original idea belongs to one person. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bram_Cohen

I do the same but 6.30pm-10.30am, which still means I get to eat with the family no problems, and have a late breakfast/brunch (so I have two main meals a day). Works very well for me with no excess hunger.
Well, I'm banking on an oversupply which makes production cheaper by making my team build up chip design knowledge, so we have some designs ready when it happens. If not, FPGA dev skills will still be super useful for our work.
That's exactly what OP is saying - GM is focusing on 'compete with Tesla' rather than pushing for progress/allowing Cruise to progress the technology on their own schedule.

Sufficiently advanced long-term maintenance via patches seems indistinguishable from providing support.
There are tons of examples of objects flickering in and out of existence, not being detected, warping in weird ways. This is one of the most recent tweets from a prominent Tesla reverse engineer with plenty of examples.

Because if you can get a $150k candidate, they'll work on X and Z, but a $100k candidate may only work on X and Y or maybe just only X. Y and Z are nice to have, but only X is worth hiring for; whichever candidate gets through first gets the position.
I also got this email.
How will this affect me?

I dont have any Russian domains/tlds, nor am I in Russia and never have been.
I'm in England, born here and have lived here my whole life?

The only domains I have are ".xyz" , ".cam", ".pw" tlds.
My hosting is from Hetzner in Germany.

I have zero links to Russia.

The email says in bold "If you hold any top-level domains with us, we ask that you transfer them to another provider by March 6, 2022."

Which makes it seem to me like you are saying it will affect me somehow?
From what I can tell, there is literally nothing to show if you don't sign up. The site is entirely social. You have a feed and recommendations which are shared among friends. It's basically like saying there's zero chance you'll sign up for email if you can't see it beforehand.
Many factors. Post-colonial divisions resulting in continual social strife and unstable governments. Agrarian economies, lack of education because of poverty.

Basically: It is expensive to be poor, especially when fighting others endlessly.

The west pushing democracy doesn't help either. It's not great when the majority can't even read and large chunk don't even have electricity while a few in cities have iPhones and western media. Look what totalitarianism did for china. Not that I support china/ccp but they lifted themselves up from poverty largley thanks to the unified vision and execution of a stable central government.

In the US there is all this talk of equity vs equality. Same thing in Africa, they're catching up on self determination, especially now that China is offering alternatives to the west for commerce and other relations (despite their predictable malice)
> I would still have privacy from them.

No, they have an unexploited asset and you think you're safe because nobody has exploited it yet. This is false security. If money gets tight they'll exploit it. If they get bought out the new owners will exploit it. If they get hacked, the entire Internet will exploit it.

I would highly recommend that you spend a little bit of time thinking about or working with groups of dissidents, other oppressed groups, even people who have been sexually harassed. I have seen so much wrong-thinking about what Security actually is and it's always people living in a privilege bubble, not thinking of actual, real life existential threat that exposure can represent until they have some user in hiding because they got death threats after being doxxed. Or just plain disappearing because their government black-bagged them over something they posted online.
If you are planning to travel, always check if you actually got a ETicket (ETK) number. Most airlines companies do not really have all kinds of implementations with end to end transactions. It will happen to you maybe once in your whole flight traveler life.

-> You get both the money taken out of your credit card plus an airline
confirmation of your booking AND a booking number. However if the ETK number is missing you dont have a ticket and wont be allowed to fly.

Tip to single bachelors: If the check-in counter is not too busy, and the ground hostess is attractive, it is a good pick up line. Go on asking if it happens frequently to other passengers and more frequently with other companies than others :-))
In that case, LIDAR won't give that deeper scene understanding and abstract reasoning, right? It will be some extra input data to the ML model.
If you need them but they won't apply for less than 150k, I think the problem is not that your range is 100-150k making them negotiate for 150k, it's that the market rate has gone up to 150k. If it is worth around 100k to you with handholding put a range closer to 100k in the description, and a separate job posting with all the additional requirements to make it to 150k, imo.
Or USA? I'm remembering something about a fake vial of anthrax being held up at the UN by the US government to justify the illegal Iraq War.
I think what they meant was an outage so short that it will reset the clock on the microwave/stove/bedside alarm but that you don't notice it otherwise. In the northeast, these happen frequently overnight, usually due to minor weather events or grid maintenance.

Most of my clocks are internet connected and battery backed, so the only ones left in my house that are affected are on kitchen appliances.
Unproductive farm fields.
I don't understand how "collateral damage" is relevant. Aren't people supposed to minimize collateral damage? Namecheap didn't HAVE to do this. The chose to do this in a very particular way, which hurt its customers, especially those opposing Putin's regime and currently fleeing the country.

I don't. I just don't see a logic in this. Our government and Russian people are different realities. We just happen to reside on the same territory. It's easy to say sitting on your couch "why don't you protest" or "why didn't you flee the country" when it's not you who has to do it.
And I’m saying it doesn’t make sense to do that with Cruise’s stack.
Huge fan of Kyle and the Cruise team. I remember covering Cruise in a class assignment back in 2014, and was very skeptical of the idea of selling self driving kits to existing car owners. Ever since, they've gotten acquired (or something) and are holding up their own against behemoths in the space. Cruise's reviews on Blind are pretty bad, something that keeps me away from joining them as an employee, but I suppose chaos and uncertainty is the price one pays for the ambition to achieve something as wild.

> Putin has announced recently that cross-border payments in USD and EUR are to be blocked. Which means that most Russians affected by this won't be able to pay for a registrar outside of Russia.

THIS

I've paid upfront exactly because of this, I was expecting some kind of ban of cross-border bank transfers. The same reason I've paid for my VPN upfront. No one in Russia, especially those who are politically active, can't really go around without some kind of self-hosted infrastructure.

Now, should Namecheap lag even a little bit with a transfer, which I've HAD to pay for (thankfully, I was able to use other provider rather than nic.ru), I will be left without my private XMPP service, self-hosted e-mail and a lot of stuff which makes my communications at least relatively safe.

While making such moves, they just made my life more dangerous, at time when government already looks for someone on the inside to blame.
