Aliexpress vendors operate on very low margin. Compared to Miele, considering Washing Machines are such low volume products, and their brand commands premium, selling it at 80% margin gross doesn't sound too ridiculous.

How does one read The Wellness Letters? I only read far enough into the article that I wanted the source material but I can’t find them anywhere.

S2 cell IDs are usually uint64, so the Ruby version looks wrong. If you cast that int64 to uint64 you get the same value as the python version.

Level 1 IDs look like large random numbers in decimal, but when viewed in binary they have many trailing zeros, that are used to truncate to make the tokens.
Yes, China may even think the most long term of current governments.
I’m not really sure what your point is. In the example, your ISP could monitor what sites you visit. With private relay no one gets to see the site you visit except you and the site. You established a relationship with your ISP to provide you with internet connectivity. Your ISP is trying to exploit that relationship to sell information about that internet connectivity to get additional revenue beyond that (not just for network optimization purposes which they don’t need the sites you visit). Conversely I establish a relationship with a random website to do whatever that is. Usually I haven’t consented to having them follow me around everywhere digitally or physically to unrelated sites. You can’t base it on trust because trust doesn’t scale to the size of the internet.

* Configurable TLS - I’m pretty sure all non-mobile browsers and Android let you configure the trust chain if you want to MiTM yourself (if I recall correctly with Apple you have to jailbreak). That’s a bit more complicated since most will engage in certificate pinning but that was developed due to a specific type of security attack so I don’t know what the answer there is.

MACs are randomized as part of the new wifi standard because people could literally follow you around physically from a distance (or even fully remotely). This isn’t an Apple thing.

These aren’t hypothetical. These are defenses that are developed in response to active misbehavior on the part of parties unrelated between the two parties that are trying to establish a trusted relationship. Some times it’s fine without but the times when it’s not tends to be a bigger problem that’s exploited at scale.

True, Sears had a great traditional operation with full pricing, well trained and paid employees, good service and sensible follow up support. However most people seem to want cheap appliances they can throw out and replace which is why Sears went bankrupt.
Yeah - and the problem here is that there are many parts.

Getting a plastic wheel for my dishwasher's lower roller shelf is $12 from a third-party source (it's $16 from the manufacturer). It's like four grams of plastic. But the rarity of demand just doesn't make it make sense to keep in stock.

(That sort of thing has me halfway convinced to buy a 3D printer. I just don't have anywhere to put it yet.)
Probably the same reason it might be useful to say "racial bias" instead of just "bias" or "religious conflict" instead of just "conflict". It frames the topic as having a complex, historical context. Again, the reporter would then drill down into precise meanings and investigate nuanced causes.
Tell that to the Russians bombing civilian targets in Ukraine. If the worst happening to Russian civilians right now is that they can’t access someone’s blog, well, I can think of far worse things for civilians to have to deal with.

> You just need a good terraform module

Thank you, I've looked into Terraform before, but had half-way forgotten it. Thanks for the reminder, will have to check out again.

> seems like everything would easily fit in a single server

We probably need a few. Our client application and integrations do quite a lot of crunching at times. The largest client mentioned has a 16-core server with 64GB RAM for DB and integrations alone, and that is not over-provisioned by any means. They have two or three Citrix servers for the client in addition.

Obviously things would be a bit different with something web-based, but more crunching would have to move to server-side due to DB latency.

For smaller customers we do fit several of them on a single beefy server currently, and could very likely move forward with that.
I’m aware the EU companies can’t produce any meaningful web tech so their bureaucracies legislate ridiculous things like GDPR. I get a little reminder every time I go to a website that the EU exists for some reason. They can’t sanction Russia, expect the USA (while constantly harboring anti-Americanism)to “do something” and pollute the web with these pop ups everywhere.
As others have mentioned, you really can’t shake and shuttle the pan along the surface of the cooktop—it’ll scratch. That ruins the neat & clean look if that’s important to you. You’ll need to adapt to that.

Some use silicon pads (shown in one image in the article) to prevent inadvertent scratching. I don’t trust those—they can melt at 400+F and you’ll never get that off the stove. I use LoMi cloth (Nomex-like?). They’re not going to melt.

To me, the limits of induction (no lifting, shuttling, shifting) are worth it for precise temperature control, less ambient heat (huge exhaust blower not needed), and the neat and clean look. My wife disliked the “patina” on our gas range. Not a problem any more.

Yes, but you never used those old style electric toothbrushes in the shower right? An O-ring would just confer water resistance, not water proofness. You couldn’t really submerge it and expect it to continue working. There is a huge difference between hermetic sealing an an O ring or a gasket.
I hate to give this kind of advice cause I don't know how hard you might have it :(

But I don't think you want to train your child that it's ok to chew batteries, the moment you don't look he'll turn to the real stuff with no distinction.

Ours is leaking and chewing everything he finds, including bus railings and the likes. A year ago we started giving him those necklaces with rubber pieces that we tell him are ok to chew. That didn't fix the issue entirely, but noticeably improved things, and now he's asking for these every morning.
He’s approved coastal leases at a rate greater than Trump. How is that anti oil? Because of Keystone which won’t even be around until 2023?
Likewise.

I'm afraid years of seeing people talk in great detail, in public, around the edges of something they "aren't ready to talk about" has led only to greater disappointment or greater cynicism.

Conversations like this in private, sure.

A straight recruitment post for contributors to a private project? Yeah.

This sort of thing? Come back when you're ready to talk about it. It's fine, we all have our own thing going on!

> And other than wind and solar, we also have hydro and geo-thermal.

These are geographically dependent. You can't build the where you need them.

> As for storage, one way to "store" energy is hydrogen, which we can then burn as needed. We can probably get the efficiency of that to 70% (for hydrogen-burning larger-scale power plants).

Large scale electrolysis remains unproven. This goes in the "scientific breakthrough required" bucket.

> Pumped-storage hydroelectricity is another existing option, with an efficiency of about 70-80%

Also geographically dependent. You basically need an alpine lake handy to build pumped storage.

Carbon sequestration at anything close to relevant scales also has never been done.

> The deployment and logistics is a general problem of electrification, even with nuclear. People want to plug in their EVs near where they live, and want heat in their homes, so you either need additional power lines or (smaller scale) power plants close to people and industry, either way.

No, this isn't a problem with nuclear. Most energy demand is in cities. And since nuclear plants are not geographically dependent, you can build them near places with lots of energy demand. As opposed to renewables which might need to be built very far away in places with large solar or wind potential.
Thanks!

How did you prepare for FAANG interviews?
Been a while since I last interviewed. I have a Google interview for SW Eng coming up but I'm kind of lost as to how to prepare. I see there's paid subscription in leetcode but it just seems too expensive and to be honest it seems like an overkill. I hear people spent months preparing for it.

So. What is your experience with it? What would you suggest? I haven't set up dates yet but I think I'd do it in a few weeks time and just review some basic algorithms in the meantime. I do have a day job and a family so won't have much time.

Thanks
It was just a vibe I got from like 5 minutes of video, but here's a comment from someone who has watched more of his stuff:

So, yeah.
No. The craft is obviously disposable, on a one-way trip.

I wonder if it will even slow down, is there any braking manoeuvre possible, or will it shoot through the target solar system at 0.2c ?

What would be nice, would be if a signal - data, information about the target solar system could be sent back during the fly-by. But I see no sign of that.

I've seen pictures of a barren desert landscape today, taken recently on Mars. It's marvellous, and I don't need the rover to come back for that.

But without even information coming back, what's the point?
I've given up on reporting many breaches to my country's regulator (the ICO in the UK) because they are completely useless.

First of all, the system operates on a complaint basis - they're not interested in being handed evidence of GDPR breaches, they're only "interested" (in quotes because the entire process feels like they're being forced to do something and do the bare minimum, as opposed to genuinely caring about protecting & defending citizens' privacy) in complaints where you didn't get your way. Imagine if the police wasn't interested in the location of a wanted, violent criminal and turned people away with "come back when you've actually been shot by him".

The complaints process puts the burden of investigating, documenting the breach and verifying further compliance onto you. It is extremely admin-heavy and requires you to first argue with the company and give them 30 days (more in certain specific scenarios) to respond, so a malicious actor can drag out the process for months before you can even proceed with a complaint to the regulator, and once the regulator takes action it is up to you to assess whether they now comply, and if not, go through the whole process again.

Finally, if you've made it through thus far and actually have a valid complaint that doesn't give these lazy idiots a technicality to use as an excuse to close your complaint, it'll rot in a queue for months, and when it actually gets processed and actioned, the only outcomes I've had so far (including for a company clearly acting in bad faith and probably breaking more laws than just the GDPR) is the ICO sending a letter which the company can ignore in total impunity, with the real-world penalty for ignoring it being another letter.

Imposing such a "penalty" obviously requires going through this whole process again so in the real-world very few people will make it this far to begin with, let alone following up on further non-compliance.

I'm also doubtful of their technical proficiency so I'm afraid they can trivially be defeated by the company using some technobabble to justify why they can't delete accounts if there's no expert on hand to debunk the BS excuses.

It is a war of attrition in which the regulator (at least in the UK) is in cahoots with the enemy.

It depends on your life situation. If you have a family and children, it’s perhaps a bit too late unless money is not a concern for you. You may want to wait 20 years. If you are single and free, why not ?
> Just get a household appliances insurance policy.

If the goal is convenience, then definitely. Home insurance policies are quite a lot more expensive than actual repair costs are likely to be. Which of course is expected, the product being sold is peace of mind and convenience -- both of which people happily pay a premium for.
Are they? Who is building grid-scale power to gas storage?
Which may well be the intended purpose of these kinds of messages.
In .NET a lot of DI is done by adding another interface to the constructor. So if you need some service way down the stack you add it to the constructor. This then in turn can require adding this dependency to all the tests that use this service.
For what it’s worth, at least in the case you described, it is indeed a case of signed vs unsigned representations. That is, the numbers

-8577780315821624425

and

9868963757887927191

have the exact same underlying 64-bit representation, which is all that matters for S2 (you can verify this by checking their difference is exactly 2^64). The former is just interpreting the 64-bit string as a signed int, while the latter is unsigned.

Separately, the level 1 number you mention

-8358680908399640576

is fairly simple if you look at its binary representation; almost all of its trailing digits are 0.

Basically, you really shouldn’t think of S2 values as integers, but more as their underlying length 64 bit string.
Wow, did not know that this existed. Thanks so much!
It's actually using setTimeout. Every time the callback fires, it calculates exactly how many milliseconds it would take before the next second arrives, and schedules another timeout exactly that many milliseconds later. This is done separately for both decimal and 24-hour time to ensure the most accurate time is shown.

I believe this avoids the weird issues with setInterval but does not use as much CPU as requestAnimationFrame.
I imagine you’d plug the cable into one of them and then the other. I assume the author means first and second as in temporal order.

This is behaviour you need to stop, not encourage!

Frankly, the child's autism has no bearing on the matter. You would not encourage any young child to play with empty packets of drugs or dangerous machinery (even if you have made it safe).

The good side is there are loads of women in their thirties desperate to date, have kids, settle down. Esp if you didn't relate well to women when you're younger you have more maturity now and the odds are much better.

The tone of the article stands out to me; not much in the way of exaggeration or opinions on “the best” way to do a certain thing, but an almost dispassionate tour of some of the different ways we’ve thought about light and dark artistically, over time. Thoroughly enjoyed the read!

Bitfields are profoundly non-standard.
This works when a part is widely used, creating a decent market for the part.

If the part is only used say in a single model of dishwasher, there will never be enough demand to justify the creation of an aftermarket one.
>I think this could reasonably be considered as a racist take.

Nonsense. Nobody is claiming the cause is racial. There are real world situations that make some countries more attractive to financial services.

I don't know, but whatever they did has made for a decidedly worse laptop, and I assume they didn't set out to make a laptop that had an essentially unusable battery. I'm assuming good intent on their part that this is the best laptop they could make with the parts/design constraints. I'll be happy if the v2 of it is better though.

Smith was born in Kirkcaldy where he also attended school. He began attending Glasgow University at age 14 and subsequently moved to Oxford for a bit and lived in Edinburgh before returning to Glasgow as a professor age 28. Therefore I think it's unlikely he spoke with a Glasgow accent. It's likely he intended to write in the standard English of the day given his position in the top echelon of British academia. Glaswegian Scottish isn't really a thing, at least in that context.

I grew up a few miles from Kirkcaldy, mother taught economics at the college there, so Smith was a strong presence in my childhood.
I'd agree with that, I'm no autistic kid expert but at some point every kid will be upset about something. Being upset is part of life, learning to deal with it also is. I wouldn't use anything that look like a battery to reinforce his habit, it might be alright for a while but he'll get his hands on a real one at some point and if he hasn't learned that it's a no go he'll chew on it / might swallow it
Now here’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make!

The best advice I got was to use Kubernetes in Docker or kind (https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/quick-start/) as your playground.

It contains the K8's cluster and makes it easy to recreate things if (when) you screw up. You wont spend the majority of your time fixing the cluster instead of learning how to use the cluster itself.

Then you can pick any K8's tutorials or courses. As previous folk have said there are plenty of them about. Udemy, Coursera, Pluralsight, Oreilly all have really good resources. Or just use all of the free tutorials and resources out there. Search GitHub for some 'awesome lists' etc.

I can't give any detailed advice on courses having not done them myself! I have used books online and kind to figure stuff out though!

Good Luck!

My first thought is that you might want to make some rubber or silicon duplicate batteries to spare his teeth. You can mix in metallic pigments to replicate the color.

Not really no. Typically in the US try comparing health care services, since they all have different coverage, pricing model, duration etc... unless you are an economist with time and a robust model you can't say which is the best / cheapest. That's why the only way to give consumers a fighting chance is to actually create a market by forcing them to flatten their offerings.

Similarly in my country (I cannot say for other places) Uber driver's cash on hand is relatively good. But they are independent contractors so don't get a pension and no contribution for disability/maternity insurance. So it's hard for the drivers to actually price those externalities.

So no, drivers are not dumb, when markets are not clearly defined, companies are very good at making it hard to compare their offers with those of the competitors.
