I oversimplified a bit, by "land" I also meant associated infrastructure, which includes for example access to electricity. In most countries, building out new high-voltage infrastructure to where it does not exist is both financially expensive and technically painful (planning permission etc). Same for pulling fibre runs to the middle of nowhere.

No doubt other things like local laws, tax rebates and whatnot also come into play as well.

You may seek to argue that there are a small number of third-party datacentre sites where the cloud operator is the sole tenant of the building. But this again is not the same thing as the cloud operator building their own. They get the option to up sticks and leave at the end of their contract. They also don't have any responsibility over facilities management etc.

At most sites, the cloud operator simply has whole or part of a floor (or floors in larger buildings), the rest of the building is occupied by third-party customers.

Actually, Facebook heavily moderates anything making anything close to a medical claim in an ad.

Or, more accurately, Facebook has a lot of rules that they impose on the third parties and few first party ad reviewers, especially in the area of medical claims.
I'm wondering how well that will scale if all/most of the trucks become electric. I would think the friction would create issues from both heat and mechanical wear.
First of all, congratulations on the lauch! Your description about the "model of models" and combining their scores is really intriguing. Detecting deepfake is an interesting topic on its own and apparently there are lots of use cases that I'm not even aware of, partly due to my limited knowledge in this subject. There are a few points of I'm curious about (Beware that the following questions can be very silly, coming from someone having little to no experience in the field):

- What do you use as input for the model? Does it use all the pixels in all the frames in the input video? How about the video's metadata (location, extension,...)?

- My biggest concern about fighting deepfakes is that they have a point to achieve where the line between reality and fiction is nonexistent. Namely, if a deepfake video of someone can be created to look exactly like a real one if that someone decide to record such a video, I imagine there would be no way to tell the deepfake video from the authentic one (since there is no difference between the two). Because of that, this looks like a losing battle to me, but maybe I'm just too pessimistic. Do you feel that it is a real problem? Do you believe it is such a long shot that we shouldn't be worried about, or even if things reach that point, there would still be tools in our arsenal to counter such technologies.
It'd be a much different problem if everything it was like this. This is more of a "most things we measure" give a heavier reading, but not by any consistent amount. But not all. And very often the scale shows a number when there's absolutely nothing to see.
sound like the OP has some thoughts.

But I am using the app SnoreLab which records me at night and scores what percent of the night I'm snoring and how loud (and lets me listen to it back).

The lowest tech way is to just record audio of yourself sleeping. If you snore, you've got it. If you stop breathing / choke / do a "snort snort snort"--you've really got it.

I urge you to set aside a few nights and get this figured out! It could be the most important decision you make for your health in your entire life.
Dry mouth and headache upon waking are common, though not a definitive test. Have someone watch you sleep and watch for periods of not breathing followed by strained gasping for air. Still not a substitute for a sleep study. The peer comment suggesting a logging pulse oximeter sounds interesting.
what languages do you use in this way? this sounds a lot easier and more natural for C than python
Not really true for most people with modern APAP machines. Most direct to consumer providers prescribe APAP these days and don't do a titration study to dial in pressures.
Except the scale is right locally, but not on the galaxy scale.
the problem is that for medical coding, this translates to "a small number of procedures will be coded wrong", and that's not a meaningfully better situation than "a small number of procedures can't be coded", and in fact is probably worse. So you need a reasonably high confidence threshold, and really in most cases you probably want to have a human manually review the problem (or questionable) cases.

You're just redoing the same math I did.

>Hub on one side, no hub on the other, average $2.00 extra there, $0 extra back.

This is difficult to believe that it isn't a bad faith argument to pad a comparison, because hubs are littered across downtown and the mission. [1] It's highly improbable that there aren't any hubs near either.

>- Monthly fee assuming 40 rides per month is $0.33.

Which is bad math. Riders use bay wheels more, because you can take a bike to a concert or restaurant or park and not worry about parking it and/or bringing it home later. See the part above about not having to worry about parking an expensive asset. You compare the variable costs of breaking even when determining which of two methods is cheaper, not try to pad it by dividing up fixed costs.

>I own an e-bike now that I ride longer distances - that a Bay Wheels bike won't make anyways but I don't consider that a fair comparison

Then you shouldn't be making declarative statements about a $1200 always being cheaper than something like Bay Wheels, because it is cheaper for the vast majority of people living downtown SF.

It's a hurdle to be able to write Nix stuff, but to consume it is pretty easy.

Shameless plug here: https://www.reactivated.io/documentation/why-nix/
There are a few models on thingiverse, and one of them comes with some interesting claims: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:10190

The model's creator says his design was essentially eyeballed because (at least in 2011) there existed no peer reviewed publication describing the actual shape of the Gömböc, making this more of a commercial enterprise than a mathematical discovery. He also appears to have had some dustups with the Gömböc discoverers over his claims who did not appreciate him posting his model.

It was not clear to me from the Wikipedia page what the real situation is. Is there currently a published description of the exact shape of a Gömböc? It would indeed be curious if there were not.
The video is well worth watching to understand what the main sections do. If you have some familiarity with analog synthesis, the components will be familiar (oscillators, filters, modulation, clock/envelope generators), but the magic is in how they're wired together and the design choices of what the potentiometers affect.

This really is an incredible piece of virtual electronic design. It's surprisingly deep, yet effortlessly responsive and playable.
I know CPAPs get a bad rep because they're difficult to adjust to, but I use my CPAP nightly and after an adjustment period it has transformed my sleep. I suppose ultimately treating sleep apnea is the important part, so if dental devices help, that's great too.
I worked at WhatsApp, prior to moving to Facebook infra, we had some jails for specific things, but mostly ran without containers.

Stack looked like:

FreeBSD on bare metal servers (host service provided a base image, our shell script would fetch source, apply patches, install a small handful of dependencies, make world, manage system users, etc)

OTP/BEAM (Erlang) installed via rsync etc from build machine

Application code rsynced and started via Makefile scripts

Not a whole lot else. Lighttpd and php for www. Jails for stud (a tls terminator, popular fork is called hitch) and ffmpeg (until end to end encrypted media made server transcoding unpossible).

No virtualized servers (I ran a freebsd vm on my laptop for dev work, though).

When WA moved to Facebook infra, it made sense to use their deployment methodology for the base system (Linux containers), for organizational reasons. There was no consideration for which methodology was technically superior; both are sufficient, but running a very different methodology inside a system that was designed for everyone to use one methodology is a recipie for operational headaches and difficulty getting things diagnosed and fixed as it's so tempting to jump to the conclusion that any problem found on a different setup is because of the difference and not a latent problem. We had enough differences without requiring a different OS.
There are many other ways to contribute to open source projects other than coding!

Depends on what your skillset is, you can help add and/or improve docs, design a logo/swag/icon, author a blog post about your experience with the project, etc.

That would break the same guideline in the same way. It isn't necessary to call names—it doesn't add information. It suffices to point out what's wrong with an argument and trust the reader to be smart enough to get it.
I suspect that has as much to do with the maturation of the data science community as it does the language environment. There have been pockets of R users who put much effort into reproducibility before the era you cite, such as Bioconductor.

When I think back to the era you're describing what I recall was people winging around hacky scripts being the norm regardless of their environment. While still not something I'd think of as software engineering best practices, what I see now is less Wild West.
i mean, they focused on medical records as the core difference and referenced metrics to support that position.

it's true that functioning medical records could be a (small) part of an overall better and more efficient medical system, but it was positioned as the core solution that would unlock a better system overall. perhaps they had a different positioning in mind, but that wasn't the argument presented.

You know what is more ridiculous? You need a doctor to write a prescription to use this machine that ices your leg or arm.

I think it must be some quirk of insurance that they will only pay for something IFF it requires a prescription
“It’s not wrong if it’s standard practice” has become, dare I say it, the standard response to all sorts of misconduct in our industry.

It should be obvious that standard and illegal practices are not mutually exclusive.

> Containers only give reproducible deployments, not builds

Could someone elaborate on this please? Doesn't it depend entirely on your stack how reproducible your build is? Say I have a Python app with its OS level packages installed into a (base) image and its Python dependencies specified in a Pipfile, doesn't that make it pretty reproducible?

Is the weak spot here any OS dependencies being installed as part of the continuous build?
Since you brought up insurance, here's a third option: leave it up to manufacturers and consumers to determine how liability is structured in their private agreements, but make self-driving car insurance mandatory. This could even be enforced by mandating that new vehicles refuse to activate self-driving mode without a valid token as proof of insurance.

With a system like that, the market would ultimately work out an optimal solution. Vehicles with safer technology and greater manufacturer liability would be subject to lower insurance rates, while on the other end of the spectrum consumers would be responsible for paying for the externalities of their choices. No one is going to use a self-driving mode that costs more than the vehicle itself to insure, so in theory manufacturers will be more strongly incentivized to get this right.

Edit: A follow-up thought: self-driving car insurance should be independent of manual car insurance. They could be bundled together for savings, but someone who doesn't intend to drive manually shouldn't be required to purchase two types of insurance. Eventually, as the technology improves, self-driving insurance will become cheaper than manual insurance.

This model also neatly solves the current issue of enforcing insurance requirements. If self-driving mode can require a valid insurance token, then so can manual driving mode.
Emacs has had excellent R support since much before R-studio came around. In fact to me R-studio has always felt like a stand-alone implementation of ESS (minus Emacs).
Most likely never, given Google's agenda to push Kotlin.

Android 13 is surprisingly adopting more Java 11 features, most likely because they need compatibility with Java libraries that have moved beyond the Android Java subset.
Dunno, I do a fair bit of low level java work, happens every once in a while.

Curiously, I don't do a lot of value-comparisons. Based on grepping in the repo for my search engine, I appear to do one every 1000 lines of code. May just be how I write code though. Some people seem to do that a lot more.
Drone CI has been working fine for our purposes. I agree that it may not be the most feature-packed thing in the world (for example, caching support is missing completely), but there are lots of plugins and it's easy to write your own.

We've been using exec and ssh runners when containers are not enough (for example, when you need to juggle a few VMs or build some complicated Docker image, and using docker-in-docker is not fun).

Everything we know about neutrinos says they move too fast to account for what we see. Doesn't mean that there couldn't be some discovery they completely changes our understanding of neutrinos though.
No, just the timing and group. Pure speculation
some employers have a policy of not hiring back people who left (I believe Bloomberg used to have such a policy (if not officially, very well understood), but that might have changed when their CEO returned). Personally, I always thought that was a bit self defeating.
>> but it needs to remain in EU's good graces, if it wants to maintain its hegemony.

I dont think that is true, and in reality hitching our (the US) future to the EU's idiosyncrasies will likely lead to the US losing power not keeping it

EU is at best a Fair weather ally to the US. UK rightfully saw the problem with the EU and pulled out, I personally that that was the right move for the UK.

I think NATO is a better organizing body, and alliance than the EU. I think we will continue to see EU as a governing body reduce in power. Economic Free Trade and NATO will remain but there are structural issues with the EU as a Federation or what ever they consider themselves
Yes, It is usually related to individuals tied to a particular city or industry. There are only a handful of companies you can work for. Our CEO even once joked about how the best way to get a raise is go work somewhere else and then come back. (Which of course is saddening it has to be that way.)
Small amounts of influence are not a "takeover." Take a breath.
I wouldn't be surprised if defaulting to UTF-8 inadvertently fixes more problems than it causes.
Contact lists should be treated like PII and have laws and technical controls against sharing them without the permission of the contact. Incredibly difficult to do no doubt. But if people are ok to share their contact let them. Let others opt out.
I ride motorcycles. I am never more scared than when I am stopped at a traffic light, especially if there is a car in front of me. I have seen (and in my car been) rear ended. It's not fun. On a bike that is almost certain death. Even at 25-30mph. With the number of drivers on cell phones this is a real risk.

Personally I mitigate this by stopping at the edge of the lane and keeping an eye on my mirrors. If I am going to get hit I can at least escape between the lanes.

In civilized countries filtering between lanes of stopped cars is the norm. This gets the vulnerable two-wheeled vehicles out of the danger zone. In the US that is illegal almost everywhere. Even if it was legal drivers would have to be educated to not use their vehicles as weapons, something that is surprisingly common.
Happened to me 4 times at separate companies. One company I almost went back to a third time. Note that all of these were contract positions and usually just let go due to seasonal work shortage. All of them were tech companies except one.

Thanks for that -- we did have quite a few good conversations over emails. I did read each personally and respond to them. Didn't justify the means.
Everything since Java 7 has been a pleasure. The language is so much more mature now. The only problem is enterprise companies giving it a bad name, but I guess that's the price you pay for its broad usage.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but we call it dark because we can't directly observe it. Us not being able to observe something seems quite plausible. We spent most of our existence as a species with no way to observe viruses.
Yeah this comment is posted whenever dark matter comes up. I'm a similar novice and I feel the same way. However, I also know that the experts out there don't say this for no reason and that, even if "dark matter" just a construct/illusion that turns out to be something else (not a new kind of matter), it can still be a useful placeholder to work with (like how we still model gravity as a force).

Dismissing it as an incorrect measurement ignores the depth people have long gone into to verify this discrepancy between predictions and reality is not a sensor problem.
A major factor that I see surprisingly few people advocate for even in an educational setting is helmet color and high-visibility clothing. If I remember correctly just wearing a white helmet alone is associated with a 25% lower risk of being in a fatal accident. A white helmet + high vis gets you closer to 40% or 50% reduction.

There were rumblings in Australia about making high-viz clothing a requirement but I'm not sure if that actually got passed or not. From the data I've seen it makes nearly as much of a difference as wearing a helmet vs not.
Lens (The Kubernetes IDE) 5.4 Released
I couldn't agree more with that statement. For someone who had read the hobbit, LOTR, and the Silmarillion and wanted more from that universe. Christopher Tolkien provided a wealth of new books from his fathers unpublished papers released since the 90's and beyond: things like unfinished tales, the children of Hurin, the fall of Gondolin, etc. I couldn't be happier having these extra novels to read and am thankful for the tireless work of his son to bring these to light who worked into his 90's to get them published.
It looks like it only has a 60hz refresh rate, interesting that someone would pay that premium for it as a gaming monitor. I would much rather have 120hz with a quarter of the resolution, personally. Guess it depends on what kind of games you play.
I can recommend read the book 'Breath' by James Nestor before buying an expensive device. It shows that most breathing problems are related to the fact that people have changed from nose to mouth breathing, which works against how our bodies are designed.
Fat chance of that ever happening. American politicians have shown time and time again they think they're above us rubes. (See ACA exemptions, the lack of effective insider trading laws, 21% pay increases for them and their staff this year, etc).
I don't know if I agree that the second pass is optional. I've found that pass is the one I've seen have the most benefit, particularly with newer developers. It serves two purposes when done well.

First it gives you an idea of how well thought out the implementation was (i.e. was this a quick hack to just finish a asked for requirement) or was a best design targeted. It also helps newer developers develop a voice. Often, at the start, newer devs will take what a more senior dev says as gospel, but by striking up a conversation and, in some ways, making them defend their choices it can help build confidence and that voice to speak up when something doesn't seem right.

Second, I've found it a good way to introduce people to new approaches to accomplishing tasks. Not everyone spends their off hours studying patterns and practices and rarely is there time during a work day to do this properly so code reviews are a natural place to bring these things up as there's concrete comparisons and examples to work with. That helps spark a dev's interest to look in to the topics further.
I mean, until we actually prove that dark matter is "something", we need to stop calling it that. All it is, is some constant that we apply to make sense of the motion of galactic-scale objects. And we use "dark energy" as a constant to explain why the universe keeps apparently accelerating its expanse beyond what we would have predicted given what we know about the universe. There is no reason to believe that these phenomena are caused by some singular thing. These latest development only strengthens that conclusion.

In any case, until we actually are able to test that this is one "thing" rather than a bunch of things we still have no idea about, we should stop calling it "dark <foo>". Because I think that a lot of people are under the impression that there is some discrete substance out there causing this discrepancy, and there really is no reason to believe that's the case.
In a few years the apple watch will be able to detect sleep apnea and probably be certified by insurance to qualify you for CPAP etc...

I have a CPAP and hate it, I need to switch to a dental appliance but these are $$$ ... CPAPs are also annoyingly $$$ and I think all of the telemetry and crap is just nonsense. 99% of them auto-adjust their pressures.
yes I figured we were on the same page. No harm no foul.
Why are most people in this thread acting like people at Facebook care about hate speech and merely failed to prevent hate speech in this instance? What makes you think that tech companies / their employees care about this at all? You can go on any social media site right now and write hate speech against Russians - literally calling for the death of specific Russian individuals - and you will not be censored. That's because hate speech rules never were about preventing hate speech in general, they always were about selective enforcement where those in power can protect their preferred in-groups, while leaving out-groups outside of any protections. In this case, "Rohingya" were not a part of western tech circles' in-group, so nobody in power cares about their genocide.
