Besides how malicious it would be to use an M.2 physical connector for a non-M.2-compatible protocol, the pin count on the Apple connector is much higher for a reason. Adding a chip on to the SSD to mux between the different flash signals and retransmit them over a reduced number of high speed transceiver lanes would be cost-wise most of the way to putting a traditional PCIe controller on the SSD, without the benefits.
> During World War II, the Americans who took part in the Spanish war were called "premature anti-fascists" – meaning that fighting against Hitler in the Forties was a moral duty for every good American, but fighting against Franco too early, in the Thirties, smelled sour because it was mainly done by Communists and other leftists. . .

Just to troll a bit-- if you fought too early on the side of the lower-case "other leftists" in, say, Barcelona you may have gotten in a gunfight with a group of communists[1]. Turns out the world is a complex place.

Speaking of which (and continuing to troll)-- anyone know why the lower-case "other leftists" in Barcelona boxed up the photographic evidence of their existence and sent it to the UK instead of the USSR for safekeeping[2]? I mean if the forces against fascism were "Communists, Etcetera" why not send them there?

Something like 80% of us paper currency has trace amounts of cocaine on it. Which means anyone carrying cash is likely carrying drugs.
Lots of people have jobs that put lives on the line, Pilots for example. They don’t need a college degree to do that safely, competently, or legally. The idea that healthcare is somehow a special snowflake is nonsense.

That's the point - If you bring someone in at the wrong level (higher comp = higher level) then you have a major problem.

Compensation does vary within a role, though. Even at organizations that publicly share salary info there is often a wide range within each band and the salary bands may overlap.

Paying everyone in perfect lock-step with each other sounds great in theory, but you end up either paying significantly more than you need to or locking yourself out of otherwise great hires that were just a few thousand short of your fixed salary. Obviously, not everyone within a role performs exactly the same.

Google's use of payment profiles is much more nefarious and exploitative. I recently moved from one country to another. There are a lot of apps that provide local services - like banking and public transport information. I wasn't able to install any of them. Why? My original profile is from the country of my previous residence, where I originally bought my phone. None of those apps should be geographically restricted in the first place - but they are, for some unexplained reason. I have found apps that are geographically restricted even without the knowledge of the developer.

So then, how do you prove that you are in a different country? Easy, right? There are multiple sources of information that can prove your location - GPS, mobile service provider information, IP geo-location, Wifi SSID databases... . But no - none of that is enough. You have to add a local payment method! And coincidentally none of the payment methods other than credit card information works - not even the one provided by mobile service provider. So, you are forced to register your credit card information to prove your location.

Now that your have proved your location and installed the essential apps you need, may be it's time to delete the credit card information. What if you accidentally subscribe to some service you didn't want? After all, you aren't subscribed to any service or bought anything with the newly entered card. So it should be easy to delete it, right? NO! You are not allowed to delete your only registered payment method! [1] Now it's open forever as a payment method for online services or Google pay.

Google's tactics here are sleazy, underhanded and manipulative. And what of the complaints they receive about it? See for yourself - discussion locked and disabled! I don't know at what point their behavior is declared illegal and anti-social.

This is quite profound actually.
I suspect it's easier and comforting to not think about the terrible reality of our world, and to have an 'official' perspective is to be able to move on with your life.
I mean I get the concept.

But let’s start with the beginning of the critique. He sets up the GGS hypothesis #1 as saying “Europeans decisively conquered the Americas”

His rebuttal is basically no they didn’t.

Then he links to a bunch of evidence and his thesis seems to be well actually there was a lot more fighting and it lasted much longer so it wasn’t decisive.

I mean, I guess? I thought we were talking about the obvious fact that the entirety of the Americas was conquered by the Europeans and not the other way around.

Of course there’s some subtlety to that. There always is. But, again, they’re speaking Spanish at the highest reaches of the Andes and not Quechua in Spain. And the mass quantities of resources went in one direction. The Incan gold went to Spain and the British Crown Jewels didn’t go to Benin.

So like something notable happened here that’s academically interesting to explore. The critique I’m seeing here is just saying “no it didn’t” as far as I can tell.

I like a “well actually” as much as the next guy but come on.

If you’re questioning the very premise when someone is asking why European military and economic power became dominant things have gotten pretty confused.

Ehh.

College is a net good, but do it on the cheap. Unless you plan to attend a top law school, no one cares about your undergrad.

Community College students can still transfer into UCLA or other top schools. Hell, community college was good for me since I was able to take out student loans and get the hell away from my family.

No more evictions for me! Even if you don't finish college, it's a great deal. I was at 6 figures before I graduated.

The national center for labor statistics says labor costs are about 30% of the spend [0]. STEM programs also include Liberal Arts courses, so only a fraction of the 30% goes to STEM professors pockets. AFAIK, STEM professors justify their value by generating money for the university via patents and grants.

While there are a massive number of private liberal arts schools, there are relatively few private STEM schools. Most STEM degrees come from public university that are significantly cheaper than private universities.

There are a few issues here.

First, the rather clumsy manner in which this was handled - even if certain customers aren't profitable, asking 'em to suddenly pay 10x what they paid before is a recipe for bad press.

Second, if Vimeo is unwilling to exert the effort to handle niche customers, there are folks waiting in the wings like (https://instillvideo.com/) for health and fitness folks.

Third, long-term incentives suggest growing a customer base rather than short-term plays for larger clients.

Curious where these displaced customers land!
Here in Europe, some brands (that I consistently stay away from) like BP have consistently higher prices than rest of the market. We talk about competition of Eni, Shell, Total, Agip etc. Not meaning no-name questionable shops.

I don't think they are that ineffective in manufacturing, renting/buying land, building infrastructure or paying much more. Some locations ask for higher prices just because they don't have any competition in area.

And yes they charge easily 3x for stuff they know you will buy like redbulls, chocolate and so on.
Instruction manuals, interface documentation… yeah, modern devices are treated like black boxes.

Say you go buy a Fitbit, is the manufacturer going to tell you how the protocol works to communicate with it? No, they’re going to give you an app, that may or may not track usage data, and that they can decide to stop supporting whenever they want. If you want to write your own, you’ll have to reverse-engineer it.

I actually highly recommend The Word on Fire series by Bishop Barron, it's not a full Bible yet but the two books are out (Gospels and Act) I believe.

They have great commentary, beautiful artwork and are high quality overall.
Leaving the link here for anyone interested: https://www.wordonfire.org/bible/#volumeii

Word of caution: if you are an Atheist, please remember that the Bible is a religious text, many verses are in parables and should not be taken literally. It is not a scientific textbook or a historical one either. It is also a _collection_ of books called the Canon. You must read it with an open heart and mind to get the most out of it!
> The original, unaltered data was always taken at sunset.

Right, and modern measurements are not, they're more often taken in the morning, when it's colder, because the air and ground has been cooling all night[1]. That's the point. The original data is not directly comparable to modern data.

And the Cato Institute is probably the worst possible way to position yourself as unbiased.

QUIC datagrams not having a stream ID was a compromise, which is why the H3-DGRAM draft exists to add them. Any other protocol can use cite and use H3-DGRAM even if it itself is not using HTTP/3.
Great question and I’d be very interested in knowing what to look for as I pursue future opportunities. Because I have seen multiple times that usually non-technical upper management doesn’t give much of a crap about the tech debt that piles up around a “done fast not right” production stack, and wants to continue operating as lean as possible to attract further investment, and you will continue to operate your franken-MVP in perpetuity.

Good point. Though would that same evolutionary algorithm work for adapting to more complex environments?

Thinking of it, why aren’t self driving cars “let loose” in a - real out virtual - playground environment with an ever increasing amount of complexity, given a bunch of rules and goals (“Do not crash into anything”, “Stay within the lane”, “Do not incur a fine”, etc.)... and then left to figure out the “how” themselves?

Sounds like a much more robust approach than teaching them to emulate human drivers (which is what I think Tesla is doing).
In CA, I'm not sure all these questions would be legal. And it can't be to "eliminate bias." For example, I'm so old that there _was_ no computer program in my high school. California law allows me to sue them for simply discouraging me from applying, and you can make a good argument that this application does just that. I haven't been in high school for a long time.
Generally I think my perspective on the issue is that a lot has been written already, and that people have a tendency to rewrite and bring-to-market content that is a rehash of existing knowledge, as opposed to gathering people together towards consensus (and expansion, and critique) of existing best-known information. Perhaps writing books is an expression of that; and perhaps my frustration is because I wonder whether we could do better in the digital age.

In the context of workplace politics: again, these are all patterns that have been repeated for generations. Perhaps it's possible to document and make those patterns public, and then help people to view and decide upon the kind of workplace(s) they'd like to contribute to.

I don't see the point of cancelling student debt. It's obvious it's not fixing the problem. Probably the only reason it's even on the table is the fact that it's not stepping on any toes.
Gold isn't particularly attractive as a store of value. Historically it's lost value over long periods (see [1]). And bitcoin is likely to do worse than gold, because it's a purely virtual asset that relies entirely on a particular technology, and therefore is liable to become obsolescent eventually.

Maybe the Halo Effect?

Yes.

Even the way you ask the question shows that you consider them somehow different. Probably better. Which presumably means that "better" people go there or teach there. So that's better networking.

And the fact that you know them by name as better places shows better brand.
That's exactly what TJ HS (top 1 HS in the US) tried to do to reduce their Asian representation, because Asians were "overrepresented".

Standardized tests are a better solution than "holistic" admissions, which bias heavily for students who can afford to go to expensive summer camps, competitions, and volunteer in poor countries. At least standardized tests can be studied for even if you're poor.

It's interesting how the C++ files used .cp for the file extension instead of the usual .cpp nowadays. I did some brief research, and my understanding is that .cp was used by the CodeWarrior IDE, which has now been replaced by Eclipse.
You keep confusing being polite (something rightfully expected from an employee) with being fake and with real emotional labor.

This are 3 different things.
You can add a self-signed trusted root ca, and set a system proxy in Android and apps will (usually) use that, although the Google and other big-tech apps will certificate pin and/or use HSTS, so they won't trust your cert. Also newer versions of Android make it a huge PITA.
The government should pull out of student grants and loans.

Unfortunately, the "double pell" movement means people paying out of pocket are soon going to have to pay double.

What a coincidence, that the average degree costs the average student loan package.

Stop subsidizing education. Let the market forces actually allow for a fair price discovery, or else that college degree is as valuable in a sense as crypto is...its intrinsic value - use case - job improvement prospects, multiplied by a coefficient of speculation.

I say this as someone who has had a massive impact on the student aid lifecycle, and yet didn't go to college myself, because ironically, wasn't able to fill out the FAFSA form.

In two years of a job search, I had two firms actually look at my GitHub. It’s not a realistic path to getting hired, as much as hiring managers want you to believe otherwise.
This answers a different, but important, question for the person doing the hiring: “how much do you value your time?”

This is a step for the applicant to signal “not much” way before salary gets discussed.

Which is why this type of screening is great for keeping down wages, but really not great for getting talent.

Why was Sweden able to make advanced cannons that were useful in modern warfare (modern at the time)? If India or China could make such cannons they wouldn't have been defeated by a handful of European ships. They didn't use colonies or trade to do it, as the iron was mined in their own mines, they made the entire thing themselves.

OTOH, I actually have an engineering degree and I can't build a bridge, a radio, or a robot, despite having looked at all those things during the course.

People who can actually do it have done it for a lab or a business, and then get accredited.

My impression of the engineering degree is that it's basically a certificate in being able to deep dive into... something. Whether that's actual bridges or financial derivatives or trading systems, a degree basically says you haven't given up on some large pile of math-heavy topics, so an employer should bet on you being able to learn their thing. It's also the case that there isn't enough time to learn a whole business, so really it's testing that you stuck with the introductory parts of a wide variety of techie things.

"Only 9.9%" is 3 million lines of code. I'm not sure your expectations of a reasonable oxidation rate is in line with reality. Most big "rewrite everything at once!" projects fail; Rust is designed to enable rewriting incrementally which necessarily takes time.

"How can data be illegal?"

"There are bad things, but how can you decide what is bad and show how it's bad without examining and discussing it?"

You can only go so far merely alluding to things. Somewhere the rubber has to meet the road and you have to have concrete data and examples of anything you need to study or make any sort of tools or policy about.

It's like parents not talking to kids about sex. You can avoid it most of the time because decorum, but if you take that to it's extreme you have just made your child both helpless and dangerous through ignorance.

Somewhere along the way, you have to explicitly wallow directly in the mess of stuff you seek to avoid most of the time. That "seek to avoid" can only ever be "most of the time". It's insane and counter-productive to try to see that "most of the time" as an incomplete job and improve that to 100%.

I guess in this case there will eventually be some sort of approved certified group. A child porn researcher or investigator license. Cool. Cops with special powers never abuse them, and inhibiting study to a select few has always yielded the best results for any subject, and a dozen approved good guys can easily stay ahead of the world of bad guys.

And punishment for adultery and homosexual activity has been something staple across many religions and cultures, which have formed the basis of great civilizations. Adultery and homosexual activity have been social evils in many moral codes and ways of life. It’s not about oppressing women or gays, it’s about justice and fairness.

Viewing things through such a narrow and dichotomous view makes you unable to cope with different ways of life except that you condemn it without understanding.
