Your taxable estate is calculated after subtracting debts from your assets, so even if you don't want to leave any inheritance, you can borrow equal amounts to your unrealized assets and effectively spend all your money while you are alive without ever paying capital gains tax or estate tax.

If you do want to leave inheritance, capital gains basis is reset at death, which effectively forgives your lifetime unrealized capital gains, so you would only owe estate tax. If you sold before you died, you would still have to pay estate tax in addition to the capital gains tax.

Nowadays automated parallel parking is a relatively commonplace thing ("it's got smaht pahk!"[1]) and we have come full circle. Hardware complexity superseded by software complexity. Kinda neat.

Interestingly, automated parallel parking systems are allowed to be used during road licensing tests in the area where I live, to demonstrate parallel parking competency. Same goes for all driver aid systems, including Tesla FSD Beta etc. Bit of a head scratcher for me.

Do people have hard time blocking out their calendar for interviews? For initial recruiter call (15 mins) or tech phone screen (1 hr), I just block that hour on my calendar. For on-site (virtual now), I just take a PTO. Last time around, I used about 7 PTO days for interviews (yes, 7 companies). I got an offer that I was happy with.

Everyone in this comment section is saying "it's nothing new" as if that excuses the issue. From the way it's described this is a software optimization problem. So the question is, how hard is it to optimize an existing application?

If it's a few quick changes and a rebuild, then it's nothing. If it's anything more you'll have an Itanium-like product flop. Maybe. It's also possible that node size and computational headroom relative to the software of the day will make it hard for consumers to notice or care.

Either way this will be interesting to watch.
I've repeatedly asked Atlassian if:

1. They can confirm that they have backups of our data (about a thousand stories, substantial confluence, opsgenie history, and three service desks).

2. Will our integrations, configuration, and customizations also be recovered, or will we need to rebuild those once our data is recovered?

I have received no response, and no human is even willing to acknowledge those questions. The service desk staff ignore them as if I never asked. Repeatedly.

Also, I've been asking around, and haven't been able to find a single story from somebody that can confirm that they were down, who has had their data recovered.
It’s not even a competition. Every customer increases costs to provide the service. More people handling the load of signing keys means less cost for a public service. It’s a shared ecosystem of trust. Yes, you can make the argument that too many CAs is untrustworthy, I would agree. But there is a reliability and availability argument, both security objectives, to having alternatives. There is probably an optimal point between redundancy and too many cooks.
I was suspecting this was webex, I use an external audio device (plantronics/polycom Calisto 7200) that has an indicator when the microphone is active.
It's only anecdotal, but for me when the webex ultrasound features is activated, the microphone is constantly active as long as webex chat is running.
When the ultrasound detection is disabled, the microphone is disabled when not in a meeting.
As an aside, this setting was reset recently, but that just seems like the ongoing dark pattern/incompetence of "forgetting" privacy settings between software releases.

I just decided to reply charitably.
Would you believe I have about 50 things that would take about 5 minutes? That also works out to 4 hours. I definitely have more than 100 "little things" I would like to do; it's possible 1000 is an exaggeration.
Wrong.

On iOS there is an orange/green dot in the menu bar that indicates when the microphone or camera are in active use. The dot appears when you try and use say the Live feature but at all other times it does not appear.

My point still stands that unless apps have compromised iOS/OSX it is NOT true to say that the camera/microphone are always on.
For sure. We started with Cyberpunk RED actually, but we went to D&D simply because of how much prewritten stuff was out there. We've done a few small jaunts into other systems (mostly PTBA ones) in the meantime too. I've also been meaning to play Ironsworn solo (one day...).

Luckily for me, my favorite part of RPGs so far has been "meaningful stuff can happen anywhere and the gears of this world turn no matter where we put the camera (if a tree falls in the woods & no one is there to hear it, it still absolutely makes a sound)" which feels system agnostic.
Electrify America is slowly working on their L3 (high speed) network. Have heard mixed reviews so far. ChargePoint is out there but it’s mostly L2 (medium speed).

Have to remember as well that most people leave the house with a “full tank” of electricity. You aren’t charging on the road so much unless it’s a road trip.
The house I bought had solar thermal panels (from 1975!) to heat pool water. I took them off last year and put photovoltaic panels up instead. That ~zeroed my electric bill and I'm starting to electrify to make use of the low-cost energy. First up is my gas pool heater.

I hope we can be friends from me letting you know the link is broken.
It's frustrating because certificate revocation doesn't even really work, since most browsers don't check for it due to the various performance/privacy issues it causes. (OCSP stapling doesn't help here, because a scammer just won't use it.)

At best Let's Encrypt could revoke the cert and block them from getting a new one, but then the scam site is still good to go for 90 days. I doubt most phishing sites even last that long.

What does work, and relatively quickly, is having the web host shut down the site (basically instant), having the registrar revoke the domain (takes effect as soon as DNS caches start expiring) or adding it to the various phishing site lists used by browsers. (Not sure how often those update, I assume at least daily.)

I hope that the misguided people asking LE to shut down the domain are at least trying to contact the web host, registrar, and the safe browsing list people before hassling the (mostly volunteer) folks on the LE forums.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with a guy on a plane once. We were staring out the window over central Australia and he commented that it's almost impossible to find a place so remote that you can't see a sign of human occupation from the air. And he was right, even 500+ km from anywhere there were still a few roads, sheds etc. visible at any given time.

Hey Mike; Not dumping on you personally, but the RTO claims to be 6 hours. I can understand that being a target, but we're at 32X that RTO target, with a communicated target date of another 12 or so days IIRC. That's literally two orders of magnitude longer than the RTO. I don't think any rational person would take that document seriously at this point.

I'll also ask (since nobody else has answered, I may as well ask you as well):

1. Are the customers actually being restored from backups (and additionally, by a standard process)?

2. Will the recovery also include our integrations, API keys, configuration and customization?

that's pretty much our thesis at Breeze:

- for web search, we have a better date filter than most, e.g., https://breezethat.com/?q=tiger+woods+after%3A2022-04-12

- for anything else, we have topics, e.g., click recipe tab from any general search on home page, e.g., https://breezethat.com/?q=mango+avocado

- we just launched a job finder, 14M listings with 20M by end of quarter, launched early due to the fast fiasco, https://breezethat.com/x/job-search-beta

- tons of other topics, some listed on page atm under "drops" at top, more advanced such as jobs in the pipeline

Incorrect. Low prices created fracking. Fracking was invented to get oil out of formations that otherwise weren’t economic to drill.

This is basic knowledge if you know anything about fracking. This takes away any credibility you have regarding environmental impacts of fracking.
32Mb may mean the total amount of memory that can be mapped at once in the graphics TLB .... Main cpu usage of TLBs is likely very different from graphics usage (which is pulling all the data for a frame 60 times a second) ... For some workloads 32Mb might be tiny and result in the TLB thrashing
Perhaps try writing some code and see if you like it before making a choice? Its viable if you are good but you will only be good if you actually enjoy the craft enough to continually practice.
In most places I have been, the emphasis has been on "how to make things better for the customer" with very little "how to make things easier for ourselves".

By making things easier for ourselves, we then have extra capacity for the customer. You just have to get the balance right.

> at the cost of how much leeway you lose sailing into the wind

There is still vigorous debate concerning it, but IMO, the fastest tack is the close haul -- sailing into the wind (not directly into it, but the closer you get to it without pointing directly into it, the faster you go). I have a sailing buddy that swears the broad reach is the fastest tack (sailing at an angle away from the wind). Some say running is fastest... but of course they're mistaken. Seems to me this is a controversy that only Mythbusters could have designed an experiment for and revealed once and for all which sailing tack is fastest.
so it sounds like you have a lot of build up. I would recommend approaching it piecemeal spread out throughout your day, but on a schedule so that you force yourself to do it - something like 5 minutes every hour.

in a week or two you'll run out of things to do and you can work on the 5 minute rule I originally mentioned.

Most of the multi-tenant SaaS products I've worked with do NOT have per tenant databases. I'm sure some do, but the bulk of the multi-tenant products use one (or several) larger databases.
It depends on what your baseline is. With knowledge of the generation algorithm, a dictionary attack on a password generated that way will definitely succeed, but on average it will take 2⁸³ tries (twice that at worst). At a billion tries per second this is 300 million years, almost long enough for the Sun to engulf the Earth if your attacker devotes only a single CPU to the task. There are commonly used password hashing algorithms that can only do a few hundred tries per second per CPU, which pushes the average success time to a quadrillion years, fifty thousand times the current age of the universe.

By contrast, trying every phrase of 20 words or less in every book that has ever been published would only take something like 129 million × 19 × 500,000 = 1.225 quadrillion tries. At a billion tries a second, that's only two weeks. (And if the password hash is inadequately salted, the attacker can use a rainbow table and put in that effort ahead of time and distribute it across all the victims.)

An attacker with more resources might devote a million CPUs to the problem, which would cut the time to success from 300 million years down to only 300 years (assuming a billion tries a second). In the next few decades it will become practical to devote much larger amounts of computation to problems like this, so such an attack might succeed, but currently it is beyond the capabilities of all but a few adversaries. And, as I understand it, Grover's algorithm will enable a large enough quantum computer to solve your password in only 2⁴² tries, which is only about four trillion tries, under an hour at the billion-tries-per-second speed I suggested above. I'm not sure, but I think it would need to prevent qubit decoherence for that period of time.

You can get equivalent security with a shorter password that looks like random gibberish, such as b7fc d750 9a52 ad6a e48c a, eedgckeimbjdefhcjclmghh, mgujdlrgdfmadtlidu, 1qvrx21zego0scvyi, 17uUPBKnfX7fSNY, >4h)&crV,+E{O, or 宜潨阰揫難侌, but those are a lot harder to memorize. They're shorter to type, though, and they're less vulnerable to side-channel attacks.

Looking random isn't good enough, though. They need to actually be random.

It won't matter, apartments in Manhattan and London are not necessarily cheaper than single house in LA.

> An extensible text editor library

> Lexical is an extensible JavaScript web text-editor framework

The terminology is also confusing. In some places its called a library. In other places it's called a framework. Then other commenters mentioned that the demo gives the impression that it is a full package editor, but is just pegging onto CodeMirror. That's clarified here?

> It doesn't directly concern itself with UI components

> core of Lexical is ... a DOM reconciler that takes a set of editor states, diffs the changes, and updates the DOM according to their state.

> Lexical is designed for everyone. It follows best practices established in WCAG

These are weird and conflated set of buzzwords. Why should something that isn't concerned with UI components be concerned with accessibility best practices?

I'm building my own text editor and I thought VSCode was impressive enough. See this well written article about their text buffer reimplementation: https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2018/03/23/text-buffer-r.... Then I realized Ace.js has some even crazy magic implementation that can handle millions of LoC files without lag. Can Lexical handle 100k+ LoC? Normally I'd benchmark myself, but in this case I don't see other compelling reasons too. The author mentioned the 22kB bundle size is less than Draft.js by Facebook, but Slate.js is 10kB and much more mature.

Some features that could make Lexical have "powerful features" as claimed: UNDO/REDO manager (without storing the entire state on the stack, which is just not scalable on memory), possibly implementing the Command pattern, then make easy consumption of collaborative editing such as with Operational Transform.
There's no upside for someone to take that challenge who does not believe in the gamblers fallacy. Assuming the gambler's fallacy is false, your proposed solution gives equal odds to you and your opponent, which advantages whomever has the larger stake to start with (in repeated 50-50 coin flips playing until bust, the larger stake is most likely to win).

If you really believe in the gambler's fallacy, then there must be some greater-than 50-50 chance of the opposite side coming up. Offer me some odds (say 5/4) and define some table-stakes (thus removing the advantage of having a higher bankroll) and I'll definitely take you up on it.

[edit]

The random.org API seems unnecessarily complex, non-reproducible, and requires trusting whomever runs the JS. I propose an alternative of us each picking a value equal to the key+nonce length of ChaCha20 and pre-sharing the sha512 hash of that value. We then reveal our picked values, XOR them together and use ChaCha20 to generate bits for heads/tails.

It's a good idea. In show business, this person is your agent. If you can afford someone to do this, it makes sense to offload this tedious work.
Your anecdote is nice, and sure it can be good advertising to give stuff away for free, But it doesn't really apply here.

If you were charged $123.98 and you said, "hey, I told you where the problem was, why am I being charged a diagnostics and driving fee?" and they corrected it by telling you the whole thing is on the house, is that not good business sense?

Even by your own admission, you would have gladly paid that $123.98 with no issues and you wouldn't have been mad about it. So from a business perspective, if they can provide a service, get paid for it, and the customer has no qualms or issues with the transaction whatsoever, in what way is that hurting the brand or being cynical? I think that's a much more business-wise action to take than to give away your services.

Well the claim is also that it isn't generally an issue for the M1's architecture until you scale up to 32 cores or more [1], which is beefier than any other current GPU outside of AMD and NVIDIA's offerings. So it's completely believable that the GPUs you worked on could have used virtual memory for everything without it ever becoming a performance issue.

(alternatively: it looks like the M1 Pro only has 24 MB L3, so it's likely that actual cache misses become an issue before TLB misses, but the Max/Ultra have more cache so that could invert)
