From the recent terms update I got from Uber:

> When you take an Uber ride, you will contract directly with Uber for the transportation services, rather than the driver - we’ve updated our User Terms to reflect this.

I wonder what difference it makes, if any.
TLDR: Google Public DNS would, until 23 February, not check that the ZSK (signing key used to sign DNSSEC DNS responses) was in turn signed by the KSK. Google would accept any signed response, by any ZSK. Even worse, they would cache this response, and present it to end users as being non-DNSSEC signed.

Upon further testing, only Google was found to have had this problem.
Most waste is actually from other things, not fuel. Anything your nuclear material comes into contact with is treated as waste. But obviously due to this there's drastically different levels of radioactivity in waste (but everyone acts like it's all fuel waste)
All the legal safeguards in the world won't save you from a sufficiently high proportion of bad apples in centralized places of power.

This is a very real threat in today's world of mostly Administrative Law, legislative buffoonery, and a Supreme Court that shoves their fingers in their ears instead of dealing with clear misinterpretations of the Constitution.

What things cost in Ancient Rome (2007)
At its core, the game theory of von Neumann is the saddlepoint result.

There are two players, Red and Blue, for some positive integer n n moves, and an n x n matrix G = [g_ij] of real numbers of payoffs. So each of Red, Blue pick a move, that is, i, j = 1, ..., n, i for Red and j for Blue, and then at the same time they make, show, their moves. Then Red gains g_ij and Blue loses g_ij.

The game theory saddlepoint result says that each of Red and Blue picks their moves probabilistically independently and randomly with some probability distribution over moves 1, 2, ..., n. Each of Red and Blue gets to pick their own distribution. So, the question for Red and Blue is, what distribution to pick?

The saddlepoint result says that there is a distribution for Red and a distribution for Blue that is a saddlepoint, that is, any change by Red will result nothing better for Red and any change by Blue will result in nothing better for Blue.

For the game of paper, scissors, rock, Red and Blue have the same distribution, uniform over the three moves.

Von Neumann had a proof, but there is an easy proof early in linear programming theory. When I was teaching, I covered the result in a few minutes, about the same as needed just to read this post.

Broad, profound consequences for civilization? Naw.
There is no practical way to answer this because there isn't enough information.

At what scale? (Netflix or a small conference with 1000 users streaming?)

Do you have expertise? (Are you a kubernetes/nixos guru with extensive colocation administration experience or do you want Cloudflare Stream ease of use?)

The closest thing to an answer for the MOST economic and scalable way assumes a lot of devops capability: be your own CDN.
Not the way it’s normally described, U238 is relatively worthless outside of being used in bullets etc.

What we currently care about is the 235 which is actually burned up by the reactor down to close to the ratio in natural fuel. Reprocessing for current designs would result in most of the fuel being discarded as depleted uranium the same way the normal enrichment process works.

The actual way around this is to directly use natural uranium without enrichment via CANDU or similar design. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CANDU_reactor No need for enrichment or reprocessing.

Those types of generalization have always been troublesome for me - While I admit I was an idiot as a kid, the respect I had for my parents has decreased even further the older I get. I understand more and more how harmful their behaviors were for me as a child, and have been intentional about not falling into the same behaviors with my kids.

Some parents are just really really inadequate or abusive as parents.
> but Shanghai is under lockdown.

Damn, I honestly didn't expect to read about this first on HN, you are indeed right, almost everyone seems fixated on the war (for understandable reasons, I would say).

I remember posting on this forum 2+ years ago about the Chinese authorities locking down Tianjin and potentially Guangzhou/Shenzen in the South (in early February 2020, I think), I remember a HN-er from Shenzen telling me that things were just fine there. Time does fly fast.
then what’s the point of the tweets? The only way this make sense is the status quo has relevant, ranked results that are potentially propaganda. What changed? The war made the information less relevant?
Consider the vastly larger quantities of naturally-occurring arsenic, lead, mercury, etc. in the world, and how - in spite of our seeming efforts to expose billions of people to them in their most dangerous forms - they aren't exactly wiping out humanity.

I think about this a lot. When consuming media, I constantly notice these kinds of messages. As you said: It’s almost impossible not to. But back in school, I was convinced that 95% was made up.
Total nonsense. Putin is not going to bomb Lviv, much less Estonia or Finland.

> I fear that this pattern could continue until I become my father in my 50s and 60s. I try not to judge people so much anymore.

I'm getting to the same age but I don't have kids yet. Still, I've grown to come to the same realisation as you did somewhere in my mid to late 20s (older people were, for the most part, right and I must have been an inssufferable twerp). I just thought it was something that came naturally to everybody with age.
We didn’t have the margins to ship physical servers to customers. User seat licenses were $100 or so, and most customers were SMBs - 5-15 users, so we would have lost money on shipping any customer a Dell with Windows Server on it. We didn’t have a sales channel for real enterprise customers until quite late in the lifecycle of the product, so even our biggest customers weren’t that big.

Joel said PHP and Python were non-starters on Windows. We could have used the compiler to do a one-time cutover to C# in 2008, but the CodeDom generated code was fairly icky, so we decided to keep the Wasabi code and just ship the machine-generated DLLs with friendly Wasabi debugging symbols. We were only able to cut over once I rewrote the generator (I think that was the fifth generator, and there was also a Wasabi interpreter for compile-time evaluation… PHP, JS, ASP, .NET DLL via CodeDom, plain C#) using Roslyn. That took me just over a month, in two phases: first, use Roslyn to generate duplicate code to the CodeDom backend (2-3 weeks). Then, I deleted the CodeDom backend and started making syntactic improvements (and generate comments and white space!) until I hit the point of diminishing returns (1-2 weeks). Finally we checked in the C# source code, removed the Wasabi build step, and let ReSharper go to town. (2 days)

Each step we took was low-risk, because it didn’t create any new technical debt or accumulate as inventory. Each step was small and low-cost. None of them were the optimal step, but they also didn’t risk the entire business on stopping-the-world.

There were plenty of other disasters in that codebase. For me, the FogBugz Plug-in Architecture was the worst of all of them. Adding all those layers of indirection, plugin hooks was a huge performance cost, and maintenance burden because we couldn’t ever change function signatures once they were shipped. I wish we had just added web hooks. That would have gotten us 95% of the extensibility with 10% of the performance cost, and 0% hosting other peoples’ code in our FogBugz On Demand web server processes. I think I once murdered a fledgling startup by mentioning we were thinking of removing it.

> If that is not a civil war, what is it?

Russian invasion of Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.

Ironically, since most people living there are Russians, it's Russians killing Russians in Ukraine in the name of Putin's delusions.

Opera Unite put a web server into everyone's browser so that you had your own Facebook-style wall (the fridge door) served from your own computer, and file sharing was simple because it was peer-to-peer -- you just PM the private link and the person downloads it direct from your computer.

I loved the concept and thought it was going to revolutionise the web; add cloud-caching and it would look pretty sweet IMO.
You don't need to compress the land mass, just the people within it.
There are 1.4 billion people in China, and ~1 million immigrants pre pandemic. The number of new migrants required would be astronomical in a country already struggling with food and energy insecurity.

It takes 20 years to make a 20 year old consumer while the rest of the population ages 20 years.

Seems a bit optimistic and wishy washy to say the least.

> The West has tried working with Russia before the operation.

What is your basis for this wild claim? Washington has actively opposed the implementation of the Minsk agreements since 2014, despite Moscow's enthusiasm for them.
Stock Unlock has 20+ years of fundamental data for 22,000 US/CAD stocks, and as of today 122,000 global stocks. And the data is high quality, we churned through 3 different data providers building our beta to find this.

Finnhub is not a "cheap" competitor. The entire financial system for executing trades/brokerages has been deflating for decades (used to be $50 per trade online, then $7, now free... 30+ years ago you had to be rich pay a lot and phone in to a broker at an exchange) and that is also happening to the financial data that has been behind the walled gardens of companies like Bloomberg.

So things like fundamental data are definitely becoming way easier to get, and the huge statue (Bloomberg) as I see it will continue to get chipped away at, I am seeing it now, but I guess time will tell here. It's totally possible I'll be wrong, but the evidence I see it stacking up/we are building in it everyday

This. I would enroll, but nobody would help me financially like they were ready to do when I was younger. Also, let me customize the track a little bit. It's so focused on the inexperienced kids it hurts.
Basically nuclear waste include anything used at nuclear plant or fuel processing. Some of it is nasty and problematic stuff like fuel and all the transmutated elements and fission products. Some of the other is comparable to fire alarm in your ceiling...
And that's the way it should be. But many stick it out like their life depends on it, because somehow it usually does, and getting any other job is apparently out of the question. Good on your for deciding enough is enough.
There is no book to teach these parts. Books teach some simple principles but there are many right ways to write code. Ask your manager and coworkers for real feedback. Let them know that you can take anything. It even set up some anonymous feedback method. And no matter what they tell you don't get defensive. Just say thank you for the feedback and reflect on it later. You can even get mad later but still please try to see it from their side. 99.99% of people really are just trying to help you. Last look at how coworkers are writing code and how they are solving problems. I still learn daily from reading others code.
I can’t believe you’d discuss this situation without considering the nuclear angle. Putin holds a significant wild card in terms of tactical nuclear weapons.

I’m sure Russia believes that they could be deployed inside of Ukraine in order to force an end to the Ukrainian resistance and the west would continue to remain on the sidelines to avert escalation to the end of the world.

A total defeat/humiliation of Russia without nukes flying seems like a remote possibility. Putin realizes that defeat signals the end of his regime and likely the Russian Federation as constructed today, just like the Russo-Japanese war led to the end of the Russian Empire and Afghanistan war led to the end of the USSR.

Right now there lacks Sun Tzu’s “golden bridge” across which Russia could retreat in dignity.

This. Getting fired is largely a perception thing as much as it is performance.

How your manager perceives you and his ability to perceive things and his personality influences everything.

I think the Boomer "Eat all the food on your plate" meme came from their parents, who lived through the Great Depression and food insecurity. Mindlessly passed down from a time of scarcity to a time of abundance. They just repeated it, but this time with gigantic, obesity-levels of food on their kids' plates.

We usually just ask our kid how much she wants to eat. It seems to work a lot better than the way my parents did it, with a lot less drama, and she's not growing up with an antagonistic and/or compulsive attitude towards food.
The FTB publication linked in that article states:

“Wages and Salaries

Wages and salaries have a source where the services are performed. Neither the location of the employer, where the payment is issued, nor your location when you receive payment affect the source of this income. Part-year residents include on Schedule CA (540NR), column E or Short Form 540NR, line 32 all wages and salaries earned while a resident, regardless of where the services were performed. Nonresidents include the income for services performed in California.”

Without more clarification that would seem to suggest remote work would not be taxable since the services are not performed in CA.
That was the intention, yes. It remains to be seen if it can be pulled off.
Thank you! I’m so sick of interviewing “senior” devs that have 3 years of experience at two companies. Similarly I’m sick of companies qualifying you as senior after similar time periods. What happened to those of us with 20 years of experience?
Would like to see this writeup somewhere, both for the results and for the methodology.
IMHO for general purpose business use and internal sharing, Google Slides allows very basic animations (fades, transitions, slide-ins, etc., kinda like powerpoint) but is free and viewable to all on the web. It creates low-barrier explanatory slide decks for documentation, and I frequently use it to share complex topics with stakeholders. It works well... (but you do need to keep in mind a lot of presentation best practices though, which don't come naturally).

You can also export to a video there.
> who is going to interpret an ambiguous problem so as to make more work for themselves?

I did.

In fact I always tried to find a unique or novel solution to my problem sets, ambiguous or not. (If the problem set contained a hint I tried mightily to not use the hint, I'd always try to replace a proof by contradiction with a constructive proof etc...)

My marks suffered for it. I even almost failed a first year exam cos I didn't want to perform a grody 4x4 matrix multiplication. Later the prof said: "Your exam was crap, but you came up with a better answer for problem four than I'd thought of."

It's still one of my most cherished memories from undergrad.

I always hated the: "Will this be on the test" type of attitude. Are you there to learn and break new ground or to just get marks? I had crappy marks but my work spoke for itself.

Students should put more effort into creating their own body of work. If they spent half the energy they put into finding tricks and gaming the system, they'd be much better off for it.
I think tax incentives (and indeed fines) proportional to wealth/income work on everyone. But if you make it flat then obviously they're going to have an outsized effect on the poor.
btm is also worth taking a look at
Can anyone explain the physics here? I thought light only affected the electron shell.

Are we saying light can induce fission at will?
That's the correct answer. I never cease to be astounded that so many people don't seem to grasp that you can increase output per capita, productivity per capita, as the population contracts.

The focus should be on improving the quality of life of the people, not on expanding the economy in absolute terms.

China would be better off with 1/2 the people at the same GDP (ie ~700m people at ~$24,000 per capita GDP).

Population contraction is desirable in many cases, so long as you can continue to increase productivity per capita. China has a long ways to go yet in terms of potential to raise their per capita economic output, if they're willing to pair that with a contracting population. And the lightening (from depopulation) on their resource needs is a huge help, it makes their situation so much easier.

/Streaming/ itself isn't the problem. The problem is the /payouts/. Retail revenues were replaced with fractional revenues more suitable for broadcast. That makes life economically more difficult for musicians.

So my critique could apply to Apple in approximately the ratio between their payouts and Spotify's (averaging around $.01 to $.004).

I would also point out that Apple's scheme starts to get into territory that looks reasonable-ish as a replacement for recording retail. Ask yourself how many plays you're likely to get out of a single you buy. If my recall of my iTunes history is any indication, it probably averages out to around 50. $1.00 a track, 70% to artist, that's right around a penny per play.

Of course, there's a short peak (opposite of long tail) of more individually popular tracks that people will play hundreds of times. Those the economics probably works out down in the tenth-of-a-penny range. But even then, retail incentives were better -- front-loading payouts creates a situation where new-music-creation is incentivized more heavily, leading you to be more likely to have more from your favorite artists if there's more to make.
I of course might be wrong, but it seems Taiwan will not be invaded until the TSMC/UMC is no longer dominating the global supply of semiconductors. The rules changed for Hong Kong, for example, because it went from being 15% of China GDP in 2000 to <2.5% today.

But stupidity is relative and stupid children are more common. The heuristic can be reworded as adult parents are more knowledgeable and capable than children.

Put the average child in the position of the average parent and you will see the difference.
California has a very broad definition of what being a "resident" is, so you can be a full-time resident of multiple states despite only having a single domicile and mailing address.

States generally either tax the global income of their residents (e.g. California), or they tax income earned within the state (e.g. Connecticut). If you are a resident of the former but earn your income in the latter, then you would be on the hook for double tax unless there is a specific exception.
I taught college CS for 10 years before moving to industry. Cheating wasn't a huge problem, but I did run have some issues.

Gave a makeup exam to one student with an altered programming problem than the original exam. The student answered the original problem, not the one on the exam they was given. That made it very clearcut.

I also had a written requirement that students must be able to explain their homework programs to me. Had a few that couldn't explain what parts of "their" own program was doing.
It's very worrying, the footages coming out of Shanghai reminds me a lot of that, and I recall that's when we had huge outbreaks that lead to the March 2020 financial dip.

We are seeing a huge rise in covid detected in wastewater in SV offices who have more people returning to office now that the pandemic is suddenly over.

Even more worrying is this war causing myopia. All of our attention is glued to Ukraine and we are completely discounting the risk. This is chaos.
The problem here is that if your stove isn't very powerful the pasta can cool down the watera lot at the start. This can lead to sticking or just suboptimal pasta. Using more water mitigates this.
Tell that to Hollywood, man. A lot of their movies now are being passed by Chinese censors first with the domestic market somewhat of an afterthought. Interestingly, though, China hasn't produced a single decent movie in a decade or two, and they certainly don't give a fuck about the foreign market.
But I agree with what you said there.
The point about salt is what people always say about bread and cheese, also, but I cook all my dishes and make my own bread and cheese without salt (health reasons), and I can say with conviction that it's not true. You can cook pasta just as well with and without any salt at all and the same goes for anything else also. Scientific measurements may be measuring ... something. But they're not necessarily measuring what really matters, which is how stuff tastes when you actually eat it. As to trained taster panels, in my opinion those are trained to match what the prevailing orthodoxy is and you can safely ignore them.
This is done because when employees are let go they could become potentially hostile to the company. That's why they don't inform people beforehand of the firing.

What should absolutely be done is inform him of the exact performance problem and steps to improve. An actual well intended PIP and not just a way to throw someone out.
I thought that was already solved by the No Surprises Act that went into effect this January.
