It is not sufficiently stressed in general analysis and commentary that the sanctions were not caused by Russian forces troops shooting at Ukrainian cities. Russia could drop most of its munitions into a restricted area in Ukraine and it would probably not make German PPI skyrocket way above historical records, or threaten Egypt's food supply for this year.

These financial nukes were deployed by Western institutions and leading states, and it is increasingly harder to justify them on the basis of the war we've seen in Ukraine (but not on basis of ideology, where cost-benefit analysis can be discarded).

There are funny tells in these sanctions. Like the potential risk of causing food crisis around Africa is a small price for EU to pay to 'combat Russia' in the eyes of Western leaders, where as potential risk of political volatility in Europe is not (implicit in not banning Russian energy).

A big reason for the sanctions is the chance to punish third parties not conforming to them, so it will be interesting to see what these third party states carrying the risk from the sanctions (like Egypt) will do ..

TLDR: I find it misdirected that people try to blame the effects downstream from sanctions on Putler.
Ah, no, the fairly was merely that we omitted details and some things have changed. That said, the paper completely captures the use of Lanai in GCP's networking data plane.
I'm not necessarily on your side, but I expected the "contrarian" take in this blogpost to be "actually, I think long hours are great!", not "maybe long hours aren't great!"
folded:

Helix 71.12 x 63.5 x 26.67 cm

Kwiggle 55 × 40 × 25 cm

While twice as expensive the Helix looks much more like a decent bike at roughly the same weight. Like many folding bikes and scooters the Kwiggle looks like you could get seriously injured if you hit something (small). Before your face hits the pavement you would try stick your leg forwards but it has these scary looking spikes there.
Not sure your counterpoint is a counterpoint. I think it just illustrates there are multiple ways of reading code, just like reading text.

Reading text to research is different than reading text to learn to be a better writer.
Of course not. My point was that there are more important parts of the mind that need training. You can't overcome the mind's evolutionary weaknesses in perception of the world and in being in control over its inner workings by having a good memory.

As someone who has suffered from (Genetic, I have complex sleep apnea) Sleep Apnea for years, I've never had an issue finding a provider. I'm curious why you make the claim that "ongoing support can be difficult, and is getting harder, because fewer physicians are practicing sleep medicine."

I've lived in 4 different states since diagnosis, and I've not had issues finding a provider. On every occasion I need to find a new one, I contact my GP, they can usually handle it, if not, they have always referred me.

Not trying to be a pessimist here, I just think your messaging is off. Most Americans with sleep apnea don't get it because, let's face it, most folks don't want to wear a mask (I'm a weirdo who loves my BiPAP + ASV machine and mask...I can no longer fall asleep unless the mask and machine are on)

We need to change how people think about the masks.

I used to like Decathlon but their quality has gotten worse and worse. The bike I bought there 3 years ago or so must be the single lowest quality product I've ever owned. Of course when it's new you don't notice at first until things start breaking. It wasn't the same model as yours so I hope you have better luck but I'll definitely NEVER ever buy a bicycle at Decathlon again. Utter garbage.

It is not "NIMBYism" when people complain that land which they own is sold without their consent. When those people are a poor ethnic group with indigenous history on the land that is being taken away, often with force, to be sold to rich people of another ethnicity, we have moved so far away from ”NIMBYism" that we passed all the way through "gentrification" and are starting to approach "ethnic cleansing".

I don't think it gets quite mentioned explicitly in this video, and don't I know if it's what the parent comment was referring to, but I recently learned the interesting detail that this lock system was invented for the international NES, and was not a feature of the original japanese Famicom. And apparently Nintendo did have a bit of a problem with large numbers of bad unlicensed games in that market.

This apparently was a small motivator in the development in the japan-only Famicom Disk System, a floppy-disc-like drive addon, which did use a protection system that amusingly was based around trademark law. There was a number of other interesting elements about the Disk System, but I'll suppress my desire to vg history ramble :)
Thanks for the response!

Definitely understand where you're coming from. I'm excited to see how well can Helix make the pedal assist with rear wheel motor work. What I like in particular is that the setup will be more upgradeable than most mid-drive builds.

With respect to the belt drive, glad to hear that's still a possibility (albeit not a priority, which is fine). This is just a single data point, but if there was a Alfine 11 option with a belt, I'd pull the trigger and buy one right now. Well, perhaps I'd wait for the rear rack and the luggage case that I understand are in the works, those are killer accessories.

For me personally, the weight is less of a concern, at least in the vicinity of the low numbers where current helix builds are. To illustrate, my current 20 inch folder is about 15kg (belt+alfine 11) and I find that quite manageable.

In any case, keep rocking on, I hope you guys succeed - it's exciting to see such novel bike engineering happening here in Canada :)
Maybe it's possible in older models. I have a 2021 Model X and asked a service center if I could downgrade the software after the new UI came out, and they told me it was impossible and that not even they could to it.

It's possible they were lying, I suppose, it would not be the first time, but it seems an odd thing to lie about.
I don’t have a moral issue with it in isolation but it does “throw off the curve” in a system where we are all valued relative to our peers. A student who asks for more homework because he likes it is great, but he is going to draw a lot of ire from his peers.
Private blockchains are entirely useless. If you already have a permissioned system, there is not point in using a trustless and permission less database
I went in prepared to read the "contrarian" take that working long hours can actually be good, but it is just stating the obvious.

Working for over a decade in silicon valley, I have yet to come across a company or group where the majority opinion has been that people must work more than 8 hours a day to succeed. I'm not sure if there ever was a time when overworking was a norm in the industry, but it definitely has not been the case for a while.

Heck multiple companies, including Amazon, are starting to experiment with 4 day work weeks. If you are in a position where you must justify (to yourself, management, or the public) a regular work schedule, save your energy and just quit.

You should not have posted this, least of all because it's extraordinarily misleading.

We use Lanai elsewhere, and it's in hardware powering Google's server networking networking (inclusive of GCP), but Lanai sadly does not play a substantial role in Andromeda networking.

That's the sort of sentiment that continues to allow companies to do this shite and drive up inflation. Vote. With. Your. Money. You might be okay with it because maybe you have the money to blow, but you're actually ruining it for others.
I haven't really seen anyone mention this one but if you run Docker heavily, you're going to want Linux. Mac and windows both run Docker via Hypervisor and it's quite a bit slower, at least for building. Short of that just get a mac. Although TBH this isn't a huge enough reason if you're only incidentally running docker as you can still shift your context to a linux machine on your network for a performant context.

The main reason isn't build quality or anything like that, although IME it's good on the Apple side. It's because mac is the shim between enterprise OS and open source OS. Things like MS Office, MS Outlook might not seem like much until you have to have them. Granted O365 has made some nice strides in making them moot but the web versions can still be limiting. Also if you go into development for anything mac or iOS you'll need to be on macOS for XCode, and you still have the option of installing the Adobe suite of products, as much as I hate using them.
Why not sell them directly on the secondary market and pocket the markup?

Why even bother selling them yourself and cultivate a community of scalper to maximize profit and take a cut.

Then buy the suppliers and only make enough to keep them scarce and expensive.

Don't stop there, buy competitor wares and put them in the landfill since they aren't running any schemes.

I think it boils down to: profit isn't the only motivation for doing a thing.
Luckily, you can run CUDA code on even a cheap GTX 1050, so you can test locally and run the full size job on a big V100/A100/H100 system.
Complete opposite take. Imagine putting all your eggs in Myspace, Geocities, Angelfire, AOL, or probably soonish, Facebook. The internet would have up and died.

Yet these centralized providers come and go, but the web remains.

Decentralization isn't about doing things yourself, it's about having constant choice. To flee sinking ships, to bet on rising stars.

The web is fine. Web3 will pass like myspace, and the web will remain.
Correct. Aatsmyles was mistaken in relating the goodwill he/she described to accounting goodwill. In other words, aatsmyles shouldn't have used the phrase "account for" goodwill.

Interestingly (at least to a weird human like me), there is something of a relationship between accounting goodwill and goodwill like the value of a brand. The reason why goodwill only shows up on a balance sheet after an acquisition is, I imagine, to follow the accounting principal of conservatism.

Let's spice things up with a hypothetical. I'm going to make up some numbers here so don't go around telling people I revealed some privileged information on HN.

Say you're Mr. McIlhenny, the() owner of a major private company called the McIlhenny Company. The McIlhenny Company's primary endeavor is selling a beloved hot sauce called Tabasco. On the income statement side, McIlhenny has revenues of $200 million and profits of $30 million. On the balance sheet, Tabasco has no liabilities (no long term debt, no payables, etc) and its only asset is cash, of which it has $1 million. Since (equity) = (assets) - (liabilities), this company has a "book value" of $1 million. You might notice that the book value seems absurd - a company that makes tens of millions of dollars a year and has a product with a major following would be a total steal of a purchase at $1 million!

A few purchasers attempt to woo you, and they each make offers for about $100 million. You go with Carl Icahn's offer. Now, the company's book value is $100 million (the balance sheet has $1 million in cash and $99 million in goodwill on it).

Clearly, the day before the acquisition, the company had roughly $99 million in "real" or "intrinsic" goodwill, but that didn't show up in the balance sheet. Why's that? One reason is conservatism. For many intangible assets, there's an art to choosing a number. If you let CEOs put in a goodwill number, many would probably throw in huge numbers as they vastly hype up the value of their brand and reputation. So, instead, we have a market approach to calculating goodwill by using transactions.

However, accounting principals allow companies downwards. So the CEO of Nikola isn't allowed to turn his bogus claims into dollars on the goodwill line item, but he is allowed to reduce goodwill if he buys a battery manufacturer that turns out to be a fraud too.

() It's owned by the McIlhenny family, but no need to complicate things
Yeah, less than half of sessions yielded "intelligible" output.

From that, we learn that there's indeed an element of interpretation, as was seen with Koko the gorilla and the claims that she could talk, when in fact she was just spouting gibberish that her handlers would interpret.

I anticipate more scientists are going to become disgraced as this study is scrutinized by peers.

But, hey, I hope I'm wrong. It would indeed be nice to talk to locked-in loved ones.
Sure, but I'm using a 5k2k 40" display. I had to wait ages for it to come out, and it's hardly "retina" quality, but I can't imagine having a significantly taller 49" display with 3/4 of the lines.
It doesn't ensure that the data is correct, valid, hasn't been tampered with, or even entered.

A supply chain involves 3rd parties who have nothing to gain from this. If the issue is the middle man between A and C, blockchain isn't solving any problem. The distrust is with B, having a blockchained backed paper trail doesn't provide anything a database gives you right now.

You're asking for a single source of truth between A B and C. And saying you cannot trust A B or C, so you want blockchain to solve it, which needs to be created by someone, so you introduce D and now you have a central governing body who dictates everything for A B and C. Or you are A and you say 'hey B and C, you need to use this system we created cos we don't trust you!'.

Blockchain solves nothing in the supply chain.

How would you ever be able to trust such a trustless, decentralized database? Wouldn't all the same problems that you addressed with Google appear again?

With google, the most notable difference seems to be that it is big enough (due its single entry point nature) that people invest in gaming it.

One technique I find that works every time to make peeling easy is to instantly run the eggs under the tap once the timer has finished. My only explanation is it causes a temperature shock which helps the membrane peel away from the inner egg.

I only play racing games/sims, and I have a hard time imaging that higher than 60fps would make things less blurry, because what I have doesn't seem to sacrifice image quality at all. Would I see the light if I tried 120hz? Or does it depend too much on the game type?

Sure. But it doesn't change what the other users said, a journalist could have researched all this.

Can someone explain this new psychedelic drug craze to me btw? Most of the people who're into it and tell me about the medicinal use of psychedelics seem to have very little experience with any of these drugs themself. The whole thing gives off cultish vibes to me.
I don't understand how the CSO can write this:

"In this post, I want to provide a timeline and my perspective on what has transpired, and where we are today with this investigation. I hope that it will illuminate why I am confident in our conclusions that the Okta service has not been breached and there are no corrective actions that need to be taken by our customers."

And then go on to write paragraphs of detail and a timeline that explicitly shows for a five day period an unauthorized user had full super user access to the service.

He explicitly says, "The report from the forensic firm highlighted that there was a five-day window of time between January 16-21, 2022 when the threat actor had access to the Sitel environment, which we validated with our own analysis."

This is some unbelievable double speak to try to claim that Okta was not breached. Any trust I had in this company is completely in the toilet, just based on this response. How is the CEO not responding to this too? The hole just keeps getting dug deeper the more they say.

Right. The monitor is a thunderbolt monitor. Furthermore, your GPU must be part of that. With Thunderbolt 4, most people mistake USB-C for Thunderbolt. They are not the same, even if the connector is.
I think that mostly I agree with the author, that there is a religious following of the long hours/never sleep work model. What has worked for me, as I am over worked and spend far too much time on meetings at all off hours, is flexible hours instead of rigid ones.

My day blends a lot more, as I have periods of work and periods of "life". Instead of a rigid 8 hour block, work is just one of those chores I do, and I align blocks of time much like I would for cleaning the bathroom, getting groceries, zoning out on a show or a run, etc.

This means a lot of breaks and no-work times, and a lot of responses and participation at times when colleaguss in other regions don't expect it. It kinda works for me :)

The impression is that I never sleep, but in reality, it's just I am distributing the work hours far differently and I can get s lot more done this way. 1.5 hours in some morning over coffee for email, scattered calls throughout the day, in the evening set aside some time after dinner and exercise for some project work (actual coding or just thinking about it). Sometimes I just merge it with other activities that don't need my full attention (is it an evening walk or a planning session if I think about a project while walking?)

I am very lucky I have this flexibility, and I know it is not a universal thing that everyone can get, but not having such a rigid structure let me really break down my day to work the way I need. I still meet all deadlines, meet all meetings, and I define when I'm not answering emails or messages. It rubs some people the wrong way as they never know when to plan meetings that involve me since they rely on outlook scheduler, and unexpected meetings tend to not happen as often (which is good for me :) ), but ultimately I like having more control over when I allocate work time
