For refference, here is the opening of Beowulf written in English about a thousand years ago: "Hwæt. We Gardena in geardagum, þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon. Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum, monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah, egsode eorlas. Syððan ærest wearð feasceaft funden, he þæs frofre gebad, weox under wolcnum, weorðmyndum þah, oðþæt him æghwylc þara ymbsittendra ofer hronrade hyran scolde, gomban gyldan. þæt wæs god cyning. ðæm eafera wæs æfter cenned, geong in geardum, þone god sende folce to frofre; fyrenðearfe ongeat þe hie ær drugon aldorlease lange hwile." While you can kind of guess at some of the words and sounds, it's basically unreadable to a modern speaker.

Now here is the beginning of Canterbury Tales, written about 600 years ago: "Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote, The droghte of March hath perced to the roote, And bathed every veyne in swich licóur Of which vertú engendred is the flour; Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth Inspired hath in every holt and heeth The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne, And smale foweles maken melodye, That slepen al the nyght with open ye, So priketh hem Natúre in hir corages, Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages, And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes, To ferne halwes, owthe in sondry londes; And specially, from every shires ende Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende, The hooly blisful martir for to seke, That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke." Still very difficult, but you can probably understand the gist of it.
Is this not what the entire talk about this issue has been?
It's in quotes because you often can't liquidate the exercised shares of a private company.

So acting as if the spread is income prior to an actual sale for tax reasons is wrong (imo) and bad policy.

You're still assuming risk when exercising options even when there's a spread, that risk is only eliminated when you sell them (which is when you should get taxed).

We don't tax people on unrealized gains, why do we tax people on unrealized gains when exercising options? A reason might exist, but I haven't heard one that's made sense.
When I was in Taiwan we saw Gogoro scooters in the wild. The battery is swapped at a kiosk in a couple of minutes. Riders pay a subscription for the scooter and access to the battery kiosk.

Seems like a really great option. I would love to have that in my city. We have dockless bicycles and scooters but a more capable and personal option would be awesome. I'd sign up in a heartbeat.

Sadly my city planners do not seem aware of motorcycles as a transportation option. We have no laws or infrastructure to encourage them or take advantage of the benefits. At a state level we at least get to cut ferry lines, but that seems to be the only perk.
This is why I think Moore (LLHD), Verilator, and Yosys are such awesome tools. They move a lot more slowly than (say) GCC, but I personally think they're all close to the tipping point.
If you did that, no one would be in that business lol

Someone, an author I think, but I can't recall who, asserted that all dystopian stories are built on taking a simple rule and just following it to its horrible conclusion.

The simpler the rule the more corner cases it ignores, and those 'corners' are real human beings.

Nothing is more dystopian fodder than reducing a decision to pure numbers, and ignoring your instincts and feelings and looking at the numbers instead is literally built into Amazon's mantra. The only surprise is how long they've managed to maintain an illusion of being benign.
100% agreed. I do actual robots (you know, that drive around and pick stuff up etc) and get LinkedIn messages for doing RPA. Read my profile!
> No one's arguing for making unlimited electricity free for everyone; this is a straw man.

My comment explicitly acknowledges that a sentence later.

>What people are saying is that it seems reasonable to ensure residents of a cold place like Calgary have access to heating, lighting, cooked food, and laundry.

>It seems reasonable for the limit to be put there, but not lower? I think the article makes it pretty clear it's too low, or there's no credit system, or whatever.

The limit of 1800W seems enough to get basic levels of "heating, lighting, cooked food, and laundry" done. The appliances that don't work at all (from the article: "dishwasher, dryer, oven or stove") don't seem essential. You can still wash dishes by hand, hang your clothes, and use a crock pot. It sucks not having access to those appliances, but those don't seem like unreasonable punishments for not paying your bills.
1800W is (grabs calculator) 43.2 KWH per day. Just checked my usage and it is less than 30 KWH per day. So that's not bad at all.
This is such a ridiculous fact everyone likes to bring up.

If provided with an arsenal of working nukes sans launch control, it would take Ukrainian engineers and physicists maybe 2 weeks to bypass the existing controls and fabricate new ones. It's not like nukes have tamper proof switches.
It's not a completely rational choice. Sexual relationships tend to lead to emotional attachment. So you start sleeping with someone because they're hot, even though they are a poor prospect for marriage, but you end up falling in love with them anyway. One thing leads to another and suddenly you're married with kids. Some people are capable of exceptional rationality—or perhaps exceptional coldness and calculation—but most of us are merely middling in our capacity to act contrary to our emotional natures. So we do better by avoiding reckless sexual relationships in the first place. Of course, that is itself a feat of rationality over human nature, so maybe we should organize our society to guide us to the right decisions. This is why one might rationally want socially conservative laws and institutions.
> The CEO capped the full time headcount at 49 people so he wouldn’t be subject to California law requiring him to provide his employees with a health plan.

Can you imagine being this stingy and short sighted? The employees are largely PhDs and he is willing to cripple his company to avoid paying benefits.
I am far less concerned about read/write speeds than I am about write endurance and overall reliability/lifespan of microSD cards in raspberry pi 3/4.

Oh my, that is very strange and interesting. Thank you for this note!

You seem to be under a misapprehension about what GDPR is about. It is not about cookies, it's about PII.

So basically this is a promotion post?
Well, my !important story - at the beginning of 2014 I joined a project that was being done for the Danish government, the JavaScript implementation of NemID which unless you're in Denmark you probably don't know what it is.

Styling in this project was done with a sass compilation to CSS, and it had hundreds if not thousands of !important declarations inside it. It seems the guy who was there before me had set up the import order of the Sass files incorrectly from more specific to less specific to some really super specific couple things on top of it all (most of the code base was in Java using GWT to compile to JavaScript, so as a consequence most of the programmers were Java guys and did not notice this), basically I cut 800kb of CSS out of the build in the first few weeks by restructuring and getting rid of !important declarations (for anyone who knows NemID you can probably see how this was definitely way too much CSS for what you need to render!)

It was my first time consulting, I sometimes thought, man if I could find the guy who did this (who was I'm told a pretty good designer) I could just follow him around and make money cleaning this stuff up! But alas, I ended up having to work for a living.
your example is a bit confusing because you mislabeled the prompt for distance in

So contriving a simplest concrete example, after the abstract explanation apparently failed to get through, is a "contrived game".

Some people do choose to have deaf children: https://jme.bmj.com/content/28/5/283

There was quite a bit of outrage around that case from hearing people, but it seems no different than two parents with genetic deafness choosing each other and then not trying to use genetic testing/embryo selection to have a hearing baby.

I do think when this type of genetic manipulation becomes possible/mainstream there will be many traits chosen by parents that aren't considered universally desirable.
I'm using "engineering" in a sense that encompasses informed embryo selection. I don't think it's "likely" to have horrible results.
Right, but that is cost I could potentially swallow; worth it work from paradise anchorages with little other connectivity. You don't pay rent at anchor.

Oh, and I wish someone would sell widescreen televisions with built-in curtains that automatically move according to the ratio.

And please stop chopping bits off old tv shows to 'make them widescreen'. It was awful seeing pan-and-scanned movies on tv in the old days, please don't do the same thing in reverse.

p0d's comment is right - much of the Old Testament is an illustration of fallen human nature. It's a stumbling walk towards redemption. The characters of the OT do not always act heroically. In fact the point is largely that they do not - that they need to be saved somehow. How that happens is described in the New Testament.
The GDPR isn't about cookies, it's about personal data. You can still use cookies for functional stuff, like keeping track of the shopping cart on the client.

The problem here is that companies have an ingrained culture of taking the easy route and just grabbing all the data they can without regard to privacy, which now comes back to bite them.
Perhaps I should have added more to my comment. I love Peertube and it is very valuable software. I just question if the joinpeertube.org website shouldn't blacklist some of those from appearing on their website. Having such links there definitely wont increase the likelihood of your average content creator using the platform.
Sometimes people ask because they're curious. Sometimes when people ask that, the question really seems to be "I think people should use my favourite tech by default, so I expect you to explain why you've diverted from the Chosen Path". To exaggerate a little, but if you've met one of those people, you get the idea.

I've seen both. The latter seems to sometimes occur with people who have a clear favourite (language|stack|whatever), mostly if they're also somehow overly confident that it's the right choice regardless of your problem.
If you're a car passenger and you see danger you can assist the driver in avoiding it. You likely know how to drive and are familiar with the procedures. In a plane you are completely disconnected from those in control, and unless you're a pilot or aviation buff you don't even really know what could go wrong.
I think everyone seems to be missing the point of what I'm saying, and maybe it's my fault. In the defense of the law that people have given to me, so far, the terms "Usually" and "Unlikely" have come up. Neither of those terms are very satisfactory if I write a critical piece critical of the government and am taken to the full extent of the GDPR's breadth, with little ability to fight it, being a small, independent, self published journalist who had a friend set up a server using the default Apache settings(this is an example - I am not).

In such a case, a massive fine would not only bankrupt that person but would silence such critical dissension from occurring in a much needed vocal minority. Investigative journalism from non-corporate outlets, through non-corporate outlets is a wonderful thing, which has become a rarity, and has the potentiality of becoming illegal due to clerical mishaps.

While I do understand the necessity of a user's privacy, I also understand the necessity of "removing the tumor and saving the leg", to borrow a colloquialism. Broad-brush approaches have quite a few down-stream consequences, which are seldom realized until it's too late. We've only to look at "the war on terror" and the domestic surveillance that came about in the name of "safety" to understand that =/
We agree on that part, I am not advocating for editing every foetus' genome in the next 10 years. I just think it's short-sighted to put a ban on that kind of research based on fear of inequalities.
I really think we should reject the law and make another one that requires the browser vendors to provide the appropriate notices (think of what currently happens with non-https connections) and (browser enforced) choices.

No added work for website developers, no lawyers required, no dark patterns. Common icons and warnings the user can recognize easily because they would be the same for every website.
As far as I know you can’t prevent it from switching to 1x image digitally zoomed when shooting at 3x though, unless you use a third party app
Ugh, god no. I don't want fancy software trying to think for me. I want raw sensor data captured with as much detail and fidelity as possible that I can feed into my virtual darkroom workflow.

The dynamic range thing is frustrating, indeed. But even so the data is usually still there. Perhaps better scene programs is a solution for traditional DSLR cameras, but most definitely NOT "computational photography"

Photography needs better sensors and better scene programs, not a bunch of algorithms with their poorly-thought-out predefined notions of what is "good"
Idioms can be hard when they are presented in abstract like that. But if somebody said "Trump calls himself a genius businessman. He was born on third base and thought he hit a home run." I would know what it means no problem.

That's what I meant by guessing from context.

Argh, I feel your frustration. When this idea originated, I was so aggravated by the whole experience. I do think that the market is moving toward buying without touching, but your ability to trust the quality and fit for your home is still too low.
Not with gsuite.
Ridiculous. They were never very honest either. They say their butter contains a 40% blend of palm tree and shea oil but that the exact amounts is a "trade secret", because they know if they printed the fact that it's 35% palm tree oil then people would stop buying it.
My thought too. Appreciate the authors effort; but given how tight all the numbers are along with the 5 tests, if I were the experimenter I'd feel like this was a big waste of my time and inconclusive.
A great example of Conway's law is Active Directory. Someone at Microsoft figured out that they needed a) new authentication technology (Kerberos, which was new in the sense of "better than NTLM"), b) a general-purpose directory that (a) could use, c) also a general-purpose directory that could be used to serve DNS. What's surprising is that this then led MSFT to create a team to do all three things rather than have disparate, far-flung teams to do it. AD was a huge reason for MSFT's success in the oughts, and still is.

The competition completely failed to see the advantage of that approach, and so failed to compete. At Sun Microsystems, for example, the directory server team was very far-flung from the Solaris Security team that owned Kerberos support, and neither had anything to do with DNS in any Sun products, and Sun never did anything about that in part because Solaris was seen as a cost center while the Directory Server product was seen as a profit center.
This is probably not quite enough in many cases.
You may need a search engine that indexes your videos, a comment section, a way to refer to sections of the videos, something that provides several versions / qualities so the video can be viewed on any internet connection but still be available in high quality when this is possible, adaptive streaming, and many other things I'm not thinking of. All that in a user interface optimized for videos.

You can probably implement a part of these features imperfectly in a regular CMS and with the video tag, but you may as well use readily-available software that do this job for you well.

If you host, occasionally, one or two videos, that's probably the best thing to do, but if you are to create a channel, you are probably better of using dedicated software.
I'm not saying I'm surprised they believe something that isn't true. We all do, myself included I'm certain. But some things would be trivial to test to see if it's true or not.

I used to think carrots made your eyesight better, because that's what I was taught. I've since let go of that belief in light of new understanding and evidence. That is a claim that's harder to demonstrate, so it takes time to learn the truth of the matter.

If was selling you a charm that made you bulletproof, it would be trivial to demonstrate. I'd wear it and you'd shoot me and I would be unharmed. But I'd wager money that no vendor selling such a charm would ever agree to such a simple demonstration of their wares.

Is that a big loss? I can't picture anyone, outside of their employees and shareholders who would be negatively affected by TrustArc disappearing overnight. I just checked their website and it seems like their entire business is GDPR pseudo-compliance targeted at businesses who can't legitimately comply with the GDPR.
yes and no - there's a few issues here:

1 - architectural - RISCV has a nice clean ISA, it's adding instructions quickly, CMOV is contentious issue there - I'm not an expert on the history so I'll let others relitigate it - it's easy to add new instructions to a RISCV machine, unlike Intel/ARM it's even encouraged - however adding a new instruction to ALL machines is more difficult and may take many years. But unlike Intel/ARM there IS a process to adopt new instructions that doesn't involve just springing them on your customers

2 - remember RISCV is a no-condition code architecture - that would make CMOV require 3 register file ports (the only such instruction that also requires an adder [for the compare]) - register file ports are extremely expensive, especially for just 1 instruction

3 - micro-architectural - on simple pipes CMOV is pretty simple (you just inhibit register write, plus do something special with register bypass) I'd have to think very hard about how to do it on something like VRoom! with out of order, speculative, register renaming - I can see a naive way to do it, but ideally there should be a way to nullify such an instruction early in the pipe which would mean some sort of renaming-on-the-fly hack
Where is OP asking to justify or unjustify anything? Again the only thing they recommend is to at least understand. Not empathize, not sympathize, nor moralize. But understand.

As programmers (and fields adjacent) it’s seems foolish to react to something before we even understand it.

> Some battery developers are also opposed to standardizing power packs anytime soon because the technology is evolving rapidly and India could switch to the more efficient and environmentally friendly sodium-ion batteries from the lithium-ion ones favored by e-rickshaw makers.

I do not think that is true. This is what all of them say whenever standardisation comes into the argument. However obviously they use that to lock the customers in.

When you say "If the intention is indeed as described," are you referring to the tweet in the submission? Because it looks like the intention is indeed so described in the links you give:

> This CSS feature improves accessibility of documents by giving users with special requirements (large fonts, color combinations, etc.) control over presentation.
> Is it sustainable long term if it drifts along without either making much money or attracting much audience?

Erm, aren't those exactly opposed?

"Drift along" as long as you are profitable is the definition of sustainable, no?

"Attracting too much audience" is anathema to sustainable if you can't maintain reliability or profitability in the face of the flood.
But the limiter works on an instantaneous or 1 minute basis, not a 24 hour basis. Your comparison doesn't take into account how spiky electricity demand is, especially during meal prep times when there might be multiple appliances on at the same time. Even though your 24 hour usage might comfortably fit within 43.2 KWH, it's very easy to run against the 1800W limit at any instant in time, especially during cooking.
The world is massively unfair as it is. Would anyone even notice already "privileged" societies becoming a little bit more privileged?

That's a very primitive approach. Once you're dealing with adaptive formats (DASH, HLS) containing multiple renditions (different bitrates) and/or codecs, it gets more complicated. I get that a single h264 codec/mp4 (webm) container file is easy enough as it is widely supported but once you're dealing with larger video's and getting them served over different connection types/speeds, it gets trickier. Atleast with services like Vimeo/YouTube, you don't have to bother too much.
