We appreciate the critical feedback - keep it coming. It's good to talk about these topics in the open. We'll be sure to work on this to make sure there is clarity around this part of our offering.
> Let's say you are the leader of a border post, and you leave your post unmanned allowing the enemy in - of course you will be held accountable.

Yes! Because if you are a member of the state operated defense force, then defense is your responsibility. The state is responsible for defense.

If on the other hand, you are a civilian who just happens to own property near a border, you have absolutely zero obligation to defend the border yourself. The same is true for businesses near a border.

> We are at war with Russia and China on a nation-state level and on top of that we also have cybercrime gangs.

Man, if only society had a way to form some sort of governance body which could provide defense against other nations and provide some sort of justice system to protect against and punish crimes. Oh well, I guess its every man for themselves ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Am I Gonna Make It?
The question was if they were available, not if they were available at MSRP (thanks downvoters, the comment even called out the price was inflated...). My understanding is that until recently in the US you basically had to buy from scalpers as the stocks had none at any price unless you stalked for restocks.

They're overpriced for sure, and that's the only reason the M1U pricing looks equivalent rather than exorbitant
The argument is that nuclear pollution scorches the earth for centuries if not longer. Any of the examples you've mentioned has - relatively speaking - as short term impact. A nuclear plant shedding a plume of radioactive elements? All you can do is set up an exclusion zone.

That doesn't mean nuclear technology doesn't have advantages. It very much has. Arguably, it's both the cleanest and most consistent way of energy production at the same time.

The trade-off is security, as mentioned by the commenter, is security. If society decides to invest in nuclear energy, it has to be willing to accept the consequences of that choice.

The technology isn't "bad" in and of itself. It's context and intentions leveraging said technology which shifts perceptions towards "good" or "bad". If the Russians would clearly recognize the challenges associated with securing a captured nuclear power plant, and take them to heart, the conversation would steer into a different direction.
> I flew home that night, posted my meeting notes on my website, emailed all of my clients to announce the news, and went to sleep.

>When I woke, I had furious emails and voicemails from my contact at Apple.

>“What the hell are you doing? That meeting was confidential! Take those notes off your site immediately! Our legal department is furious!”

Wait, who the hell posts meeting notes on their website (and also emails all their clients without a written confirmation at the said meeting)? I would assume any meeting you'd have with a client/potential would be assumed to be confidential. I felt this particular move was very unprofessional on the OP's part.
If the Russian government want to stoke fear about Nuclear power plant to keep the EU addicted to their oil and gas, this is a smart play.
I suspect Apple has a tendency to underpromise and overdeliver when it comes to their shipping times. All of my orders arrived far sooner than their estimates.
People are using ads as a way to get information about the war into Russia as a way to circumvent Russia's information firewalls. It's pretty clever really.

A Cornucopia of Memory and Bandwidth in the Agilex-M FPGA
I currently working on an optical respiratory monitor and one of the challenges was image alignment/registration for an optical and a thermal image with wildly different resolutions, fovs.

We ended up doing this by manually calibrating the images in matlab using a custom script and logging out a transformation matrix that we could then multiply the optical image by to get matching pixels in the thermal image.

Really fun project, but definitely a tedious thing to do, especially when its only a small part of the overall project. The project in the link also looks very cool, just not quite right for us as we probably wouldnt consistently have enough landmarks to map.
What would happen is all of the content would load on first install.

It doesn't seem that far reaching. There's a difference between "foreign citizen action" and "foreign government action". If another government comes to your territory, to break your laws and deprive one of your businesses of their property or rights, that's a big deal. But because it happens online, it's given a pass and pushed on to private individuals to deal with.
Florida’s latest anti-health political stunt is to cast doubt on kids’ vaccines
Heh this is the abacus I learned to use as a kid. I have one sitting on a bookshelf in my office.

Very fast to use and you see them used in smaller shops in places like Bangkok.
Those are all just boxes with a shipping label on it, so that we can force a receipt.

Because we're past a point where if you don't have that shipping label on it, you can just ignore it and say you never got it.

It was inevitable.
Who else has the feeling this will become the next big cargo-cult FAANG interview question?
This is a huge market in south america too.

In many countries with high tarriffs, there are literally open "luggages" advertised in FB and IG, to bring stuff from the US into X.

Buyer gives a heads up and asks if there is enough space for X goods. If yes, buyer routes amazon orders to travaler's residence, and presto.

The charge is usually 7-9 USD per pound, although there are flat rates for lightweight items like SD cards and phones.

It has gotten so bad that there are people boarding planes just to do this.

Somehow custom authorities are not making a fuss. Although quantities are low enough and varied enough (no one is foolish enough to load 3 luggages full of prada handbags) that anyone caught at airport can make a legitimate argument they are bringing presents for extended family.

The importers in south america have therefore more or less gone out of business.
I disagree with the advice on not using transition words such as 'however'. These can be a useful signpost that e.g. the approach described in the previous sentence has a drawback and/or to build tension when describing a problem. Or maybe I'm just not a good enough writer to do it in some other way...
It's enough to have enough poorly educated people take over there and incompetence will do the rest. This is what caused the '86 meltdown in the first place.

It was probably the fastest way at the time to build up their initial catalog quickly; for masters or the best quality recordings, they would need some way to get the music from the masters into the software, and I don't believe Apple had any good audio in ports.

I do recall at some point they had a headphone jack that also supported optical, but don't quote me on that.

Anyway, it would have been better if they had an app that accepted .wav files or something like that.
Fascinating. And then there’s the question of how do you teach someone to know when they’ve made progress toward something new and unknown? (Such as diagnosing the root cause of a bug or solving a new problem.)
I'm using the Pushover app for this. Very easy to interface with. You can even send images.
When it functions as intended, the site hijacks the back button to offer you a series of “articles” to read “before you go.”

I’m currently viewing on Safari on iOS through a firewall with a spam deny list. Whether the ad hits my deny list or not, the only way to go back from the site is to hold the back button and manually select a different page.
We're trying to put that gravy back into your pocket! These are the exact problems that motivated us to build this product - because we ourselves were forced to pay these fees when we moved to the UK from the US.

>even though you already have everything on file elsewhere already?

Sounds like an opportunity to automate much of that...
Many private businesses already are expected to protect themselves from state (and similar capability) physical interference and attacks, especially if they are in the supply chain of critical infrastructure. It's one of the things you have to do effectively to earn profits in that sector.
P = NP only if N is invariant over P and non zero. I don’t get why there’s so much commotion on it
I can imagine the 'warning letter': "Better luck next time!"
Guess it depends in the industry, I've never had to do live coding interviews when interviewing in game-dev. It's been mostly technical discussions, maybe some take home tests, once I had a debugging session. Never a leetcode type of thing.
On mobile Safari, /. "traps" you on their site by causing the back button/back swipe gesture to return you back to their site. I am not sure exactly how -- haven't looked at the code.
China needs oil, minerals, wood and food. Russia has all of these so a good relationship to Russia is a guarantee for access to those things. A weakened Russia might even need "assistance" to keep Siberia - where all those mentioned things are found - safe.
Couch it in how you want to contribute to your team.

Instead of "I don't want interesting work", say you want to help support members of the team who are looking for new opportunities, or something like that. There's X work maintaining the codebase and Y work on new and shiny projects and Z employees. Suggest perhaps cross-training in other people's less-stressful work (if there is any).

If you say that, then your manager (in their head), can be thinking, "Okay so we have this new project, and songzme doesn't want it, but her coworker does, so if songzme can pick up some of the maintenance work, the coworker will have time for new project." Obviously, keep your total workload under control, but a manager's job is to get a team to do something. It's fine to play support, just be open to it.

It doesn't have to be permanent. I've had time periods when I've volunteered for projects and others when I'm not interested due to external factors. During those times, I just did more of the team's work that required the least 'brain'. Which is great for the team members who are feeling bored and want to try something new.
It was standard when I entered the market in ‘99.

Occasionally you’ll get a set of rounds that last 3-4 hours, but it was just as rare back then.

The main difference between big tech companies is the reliance on LC type algo/ds, and the insistence on getting to the optimal solution for anything but the hardest questions. Also 'normal' companies are more likely to ask more domain specific questions... for instance, you might get pairing sessions that stress knowledge of language/framework, SQL query building, etc, and are going to be a bit more permissible of mistakes.
My understanding is that the fees Wise charges are dictated by the costs of their fast method, rather than, say, a requirement of their business model.

I’m very much in agreement that this is a win for customers either way, and I think it’s a very clever idea — challenging the assumption that speed is more important than cost — I’m just super curious to understand their long term thinking.

That said, I could be completely wrong about Wise: maybe they are banking a lot of profit off big transactions, in which case, this is a challenge to the model Wise are pursuing and would definitely be a significant competitor.
Note that this is from the early days of iTunes--things could be radically different behind the scenes now.

I suspect if it isn't listed as 'Apple Lossless' or one of the other fancy labels, its probably originally from a CD rip somewhere. I know from listening to niche-y music, that music catalogs can often be wrong and will be published to multiple music sites. For example Junior Brown's album 'Junior Brown: Greatest Hits' has a track on it that is half glitches AND its the exact same on multiple services and has persisted for years even though I reported it several times on each service. There's also a sea shanty album where half the tracks are static. I reported it to iTunes and Amazon and received boilerplate responses. I then sent an email to the actual band (hard to believe, but its a bunch of old guys) and they contacted their record company...but even they couldn't get it straightened out.
>And it has been shown to be right, every time.

So has GR. Yet the two theories seem to be utterly incompatible.
I think you're making the same mistake as many other modern benchmarks do: GPU compute != general purpose compute.

A Pi Zero 2 is easily multiple times faster than a Cray 1, but not 300 times, except for certain very specific workloads.

For general code that does lots of math but isn't GPU accelerated, I bet the difference in performance is significantly smaller.
There is a labor cost to accepting cash (or, to a lesser extent, checks) that you don't incur when someone pays with a credit card. I recall reading some dubiously sourced research claiming that it costs most businesses more to accept cash than it does to take a credit card[0], which didn't seem that plausible, but it's probably closer to a wash than you would think.

As a person who formerly worked in both defense and other classified environments, I definitely empathize with what you are saying regarding not being able to share much about your previous experiences. Best thing I can recommend is to spend some time building a public portfolio, even if it’s doing simple stuff.

It will benefit you in multiple ways, not the least of which includes honing/practicing your skills, learning some new technologies, and having something to show for it.

One of the few positive outcomes for Russia out of this crisis.
I had no idea that Chernobyl nuclear plant was still operational after the accident, with 3 remaining reactors. The last one was shut down in 2000. Operators were comming there every day for work, nuts!

My understanding is some manufacturing is already moving away from China. If China invades Taiwan, the West won't be able to sanction them as quickly and as intensely, but it can accelerate the move to take its business elsewhere... Which it will have to do, because most of the world's most advanced chips come from TSMC, and if that's controlled by China, it's just dangerous.
It sounds like an early example social network oversharing thing, like how some people needed to record and post everything trivial they or their kids did onto facebook, or people to post their breakfast onto instagram, or nowadays everyone's brainfart / shower thought / hot take onto twitter.
I think there were a mix of cases when I was there, with admins sometimes supporting the wonderful weird and other times not. Often when they did, it was because the weird was only a background level of annoying/risky and when they didn’t, it was often that the level of cacophony had exceeded that admin’s tolerance for it.
It's not just rude in general, but actively hurtful to the person being named.
I doubt even 0.1% users care.
The book advocates for more public investment in nuclear energy and advocates against using too much solar and wind.

He is personally has many billions sunk into the nuclear startup Terrapower, which is also taking a grant of roughly $4 billion in taxpayer cash while demonstrating... mixed results at best.

You dont see a potential for a slight conflict of interest with this book?
air circulation around zirconium clad fuel rods is not a good thing. auto ignition becomes a high probability issue with the generation of hydrogen gas.
Based on our experience speaking with a number of institutional players, including traders and banks, what we found is that the institutional rates are unbelievably efficient, but the situation immediately gets worse as you move away from these centers of liquidity.

If you talk to 3rd party institutional FX providers, they'll immediately mark up rates because its how they make all of their money.
There’s no problem with that as long as you don’t express it in a negative way.

At least, I manage people who say this and it is perfectly fine.

Also, this level of ambition has a tendency to change with people’s life circumstances.

The most important thing for me is making sure the work someone is doing is aligned with their goals, whether that is work life balance or expanding their role as fast as is feasible or something in between.
If I had a choice between an app and a web site the web site almost always wins. ("app" rhymes with "crap")

I use a similar algorithm at work to detect if pages match a template and then align the image to OCR from mapped fields. Not perfect but pretty effective.
I'm just trying to say to you - yes I also have direct experience with this, so don't try and give me some anecdotes. We ran meta-analyses across hundreds of clients / experiments using advertising, both retargeting customers who abandoned their baskets, and consulted on more traditional experiments as an independent auditor. These were mostly in the fashion and travel verticals. The revenue uplifts we saw as a whole across the sectors were poor, expecially compared to other things that these sites were doing (social proof, scarcity etc.) I never once saw a value like 6x ROI. We could not publish this publicly unfortunately, as it more generally showed that stuff people were A/B testing doesn't really do much, which would have been bad for business.

This does not mean that search advertising is useless as a concept. But the idea that it 'just works' is also clearly false.
Well, if you want your hello world program to try to write Hello world, then report success regardless of the result, then it is bug-free.
If you intend your program to write hello world on your screen/stdout, then it is definitely buggy.

The computer will do what you ask it to do, it's only a bug, when it doesn't meet your expectations.
I know we're supposed to assume good faith here, but I find that really hard to believe.

As far as I'm aware, Danielle didn't "announce" her transition in any EOS channels. But if you look at her profile for more than five seconds, it's pretty freaking obvious. Her name is updated on her Twitter, from which Lunduke based his article:

https://twitter.com/DaniElainaFore

It's updated on the EOS Reddit:
https://old.reddit.com/r/elementaryos/comments/shdouy/update...

It's updated on the company blog:
https://blog.elementary.io/elementary-os-6-1-available-now/

And it's plainly obvious on the company YouTube channel if you compare Q&A/livestreams between months:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfyFew7toGw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ryu9-F6B2Gs

I would be willing to overlook that kind of flagrant oversight if not for the fact that Lunduke calls himself A JOURNALIST. That he would continue to use her dead-name despite all of the research he's supposed to do as part of his job makes him either malicious or incompetent. Take your pick.

Hollywood: PrimeWire Pirate Streaming Site Is Defying Court Injunction
I like growing employees, but I'd be lying if it said I didn't put immense value on the great employees that are content where they are with what they're doing. They're dependable and they mean I have some form of "old guard" that really knows a system inside out without going through documentation or experimenting. That is very valuable.
So how does this happen? If these candidates were gainfully employed, perhaps that indicates their roles, perhaps their entire careers, didn’t require programming? Or perhaps it means that it’s possible to write code without having a deep understanding?

These widespread anecdotes should inspire reflection, not just on the utility of technical interviews, but on the very nature of the work that goes on in the software industry. What exactly is going on.
I'm pretty sure China recognized Ukraine as an independent country until very recently.
Right, but since you can't actually listen to the speech as you read the slides (or read the slides as you listen to the speech), then the slides really should be a complementary booklet or some other written text intended to be read at a different time.
I keep waiting for the online advertising bubble to pop, because there's so much about it that doesn't make any sense to me--selling washing machines to people who just bought one, placing a tacky and irritating autoplay ad for your premium brand right next to "one weird trick" stuff, demographic microtargeting that seems to miss its mark regularly, clicks being great unless they're on purpose because then it's fraud. But that all must not matter too much, because everyone keeps doing it.
Nuclear power stations on 1970s or older technology*

The newer technologies, with the much smaller reactor cores can greatly limit the destructive capabilities even to the point where a meltdown caused by some unforseen event will be entirely containable.
I'd guess a built-in web browser like Electron apps? But that wouldn't make much sense since I'm sure android has a WebView built in which should use mostly built-in browser libraries / tech.
Based on your link, if they are using MediaStore and targeting Android 9

> Permissions are required for all files on Android 9 (API level 28) or lower

I'm not an expert, but unless I'm missing something, there seems to be a legitimate set of circumstances where the requesting of additional permissions is required to function correctly. It seems overly reductive to deposit this entirely at the feet of app developers.

You are arguing your political viewpoint here. Because you disagree with mine, and because you want yours to be more common. The power you are exercising is one of influence. If you didn't believe your views mattered, you wouldn't bother to post here.

zirconium clad rods exposed to air generate hydrogen gas. not a good thing.
That's just not true at all. Doctors in particular have ridiculous hiring processes. Trades provide free quotes and to some extent diagnoses all the time. Pretty much every lawyer will have free initial consults and almost all plaintiff attorneys work on contingency.
