Well yeah, it's like filling up your car's tank once vs stopping every 30min to add 1L. If the only thing you measure is the distance you drive you'll get roughly the same numbers. Now if you start to measure other metrics like convenience ease of maintaining your routine, energy level over the day, &c. you might conclude something else.

You can also lose weight on a pure palm oil diet, or gain weight eating nothing but tomatoes. Weight gain is only one part of the equation. There are so many variables, even purely psychological ones, the best thing is to try it out for yourself.
Also the article talks about the "grid". California buys most of its renewable power from out of state (mostly hydro from WA). The wording of the article doesn't say that but also doesn't appear to constrain its definition to domestic production.
Yeah? How's this for an alternative headline! "Florida attempts to disguise grift as criticism of instructional materials as republican CRT witch hunt continues unabated." Looks like the only publisher allowed for math text books happens to be the one run by Glenn Youngkin. Factual, unprovocative, and more likely to piss you off. Why play the middle line when we can just air the dirty laundry for everyone to smell.
We should be careful of outright demonizing Putin. He's not just a monster and he can be reasoned with. Maybe he even has some legitimate grievances (or at least things we might choose to accomodate to avoid ...)

Perhaps we can to have systems, like the "we're testing an ICBM" system we have in place, to avoid escalations that will draw us into WW3. There must a way to get a reasoned, thoughtful and cooperative answer to this question. For example, let's say we place 5 test satellites in orbit and if you shoot one (?) of those down, you get to request blocking internet service in a geographical region, without escalating things into a space war.
Take the letters "a" from the page 3, top right, and combine all them in your Gimp [0]. It's amazing how it's hard to distinguish those letters without the help of some tool.

I always thought about it when some people question, for example, the secrecy of the vote. When you're given the ballot, there's no way to know if all them are the same or if each one has some codified information without extensive audit. Even scanning all the ballots will introduce small imperfections that will make it hard to audit everything.

Why people are so eager to spread false information
Right, there's a LOT of rural and semi-rural places in Vermont already if you aren't a fan of cities. In particular though, we're seeing subdivisions of housing sprout up in municipalities neighboring Burlington, typical suburban developments that prey off the desire to live in/near the city but avoid the high city prices (And the high city prices stem from the fact that the city itself, already more or less "fully" developed, has no incentives to upzone and plan for growth)

For example, take this listing https://www.zillow.com/community/kwiniaska-ridge/29091765_pl...

Look at the descriptions used to sell it:

> Just minutes from the lake and downtown Burlington you have everything you need and already do.

This isn't aimed at people looking to escape the city. This is aimed at people looking to buy into the city at a lower price point.
OpenBSD includes firmware it can permissively redistribute, for example as of 7.1, OpenBSD developers spent many months working with Realtek to change the firmware license for rtwn(4), urtwn(4) and rsu(4) wireless devices so that it could be included in base and on the install media.

https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=163331097625151&w=2

For firmware that cannot be distributed on the install media, it is instead packaged separately and made installable through fw_update(8), if you have a working Internet connection will be fetched automatically from the installer or on first boot.

You can also add firmware to install media yourself, if you have an existing OpenBSD install:

Will be interesting to see if Musk has found a way around the poison pill. There are several theoretical techniques to avoid triggering them but as far as I know none have been tried in practice. There is also the issue of whether a company would actually follow thru and implement a poison pill as there would be lots of fallout.

Anyone have a sense of what might happen?

The whole step moving forward into the UEFI direction on Client Computing Systems (laptops, desktop) is the right way.

Even if I dislike the UEFI specification and existing implementations, the spec is more than 24 years old. It might fulfill its purpose as a bootloader/OS interface.

The UEFI BDS interface, the one the most people see and the operating system interfaces, is now standardized for many operating systems and OEMs, making it easier to integrate and maintain. It is finally possible to use standard security mechanisms (verified, measured boot) to secure your device. So we can use such technologies to ensure device security reasonably as we do in my corp www.immu.ne

The custom certificate provisioning is a mess and hard to use, but that can be possibly made easy by projects like: https://github.com/Foxboron/sbctl

I don't believe the UEFI interface is beneficial for data-center or embedded devices. The UEFI BDS interface was developed for client platforms and required physical presence. It leads to complexity in the DC and embedded world. I feel a more suitable approach would be www.linuxboot.org which is already used by many Hyperscalers and Embedded companies.

That's my 50 cents about the story. My background, I am coreboot developer and security architect.
I remember when I was in ROTC I had to do training one summer. It wasn't particularly difficult, though as a part of training there's a lot of artificial stress placed on you. One source of artificial stress was timed meals. You had 5 minutes to eat your entire meal while sitting at attention. Since most of your day is spent marching around, this meant you were extra hungry at meal times. I found myself optimizing for calories per second. The first day at training I had eggs and toast for breakfast, but the dry toast took up a long time to chew and swallow. Subsequent days I followed the example of my peers and got a big bowl of grits (which I usually never eat) for breakfast which I could wolf down without chewing. By the end of training I had grown to love grits. So, long story short, one benefit I found for timed eating was a newfound love of a food I previously never tried.
> Wiki used to call it insurrection but it's not that.

They don't call it insurrection only because "seditious conspiracy" is the more legally accurate term, and the charge on which convictions have already been obtained. But ask a layperson to describe the difference and you'll get nothing. Even the US house and senate voted on impeachment for "incitement of insurrection" despite the legal distinction. Saying that it's "not insurrection[legal]" might be true, but HN is not a court and saying "not insurrection[common]" here is false.
"Provided a text document with specific fonts" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

Pretty much by definition, text documents don't supply fonts. So, reading text documents is still fine, unless your OS "helpfully" opens text documents using rich text viewers, in which case: please talk to your OS vendor.

For rich text documents, say PDF, the risk of personalized-and-or-remote embedded fonts is not exactly new. Maybe this variant is, but the general idea definitely isn't.

So, this, to me, is at best a possibly-novel "how to do DRM with PDF" technique. Which is interesting, but not exactly earth-shattering.

Or am I missing something here?
I don't think it's fair to claim that the author is "shit at his job" because he doesn't know some (rather unintuitive and unexpected) trivia about how phone ID works. There are plenty of different roles in security engineering, many of which would never need to be concerned about this.

Same here, it’s also helped with overall calories because the time I eat is restricted. No breakfast, eat a good lunch, eat a good dinner. All eating done within 7-8 hours, I am used to no morning calories so I don’t feel hungry until lunch, and I don’t get the 350-500 calories breakfast brings.

Google OR tools (along lpsolve). Can be used with c#, free, common api for multiple solvers. I find that on certain problems, even linear solvers can be instable and it is useful for the user to be able to use another solver with a simple drop down. I never fully understood what caused the instability (showing problems that are perfectly solvable as infeasible/abnormal). I suspect it has to do with the many orders of magnitude between the range of certain variables and the range of objectives/constraints. The only downside of Google OR Tools is that you need to recompile it yourself to use glpk (licensing).

> Cable companies offered streaming, and on demand, and all that other stuff - but largely only after Netflix had proven it out.

In other words, they waited for Netflix to do the expensive and risky work of building out the market and refining the streaming infrastructure. Then they used the money they got from licensing their IP to Netflix and built out their own offerings. Sounds like good business.
You're talking about two different things, which gives credence to my point that 'interviewee doesn't know what they are asking'.

The 'health of the company' and the 'valuation of you shares' are completely different things.

On your last point: "a minimum the percentage your equity grant represents and valuation at last funding round" - yes, they should probably do that. Because otherwise, the value of that equity could be anything, it's impossible to know what 10 000 shares means.

But that doesn't tell you anything about the company. Private valuations are mostly fantasy.

You'll want to get a sense if the company is healthy, and even 'burn rate' isn't so much the right question, it's probably new customers.

If the company is growing in terms of revenues and customers, it's probably the most positive signal of all not only in terms of stability, but also the actual value of the equity in then i.e. 'if it will be worth something'.

Finally, NDA's are not a very good protection, everything is still 'need to know'.

I think my job is to ship useful, secure and robust features to my company's customers. Dealing with technology is a consequence of that, not the end goal itself, which seems to be what's most wrong about this industry.

Certainly tying together libraries (or writing your own framework) is a valid approach, it's just a lot more expensive to reach the same quality level. That's why usually you end up with half assed solutions or never ending projects.

depends on whether they're air zombies or ground zombies.
I think you're right on the formalism, and I shouldn't have brought that in. I've been out of grad school a while and should clearly brush up on my theory.

My main line of reasoning is:

1. If I say "this algorithm time-complexity is O(X)", I mean that all possible cases are in O(X).

2. If all possible cases are in O(X), then the worst case is in O(X).

3. If the worst case is in O(X), then any other case will also be in O(X). This follows from our definition of "worst case".

4. Therefore, "all possible cases are in O(X)" <=> "worst case is in O(X)"

5. Therefore, "this algorithm time-complexity is O(X)" <=> "this algorithm time-complexity is worst-case O(X)"

If your thought is that 1) isn't a formal definition, fair enough. It may have been a convention we adopted within the department. But aside from that, I think the reasoning is solid.

I'm not talking about the government fixing the problem. And I don't think I misunderstand the problem.

The problem under discussion was the ability of special interests to control the government to block competition. I was illustrating just one subtle political maneuver. Special interests combat each other all the time. It is not inevitable that the same special interest will win every battle, especially when they don't even recognize subtle flanking maneuvers.

It is, of course, unfortunate for the poor farmer upon whose fields the battles are waged.
> Nothing the bank might want to talk about could be urgent enough to interrupt an unseasonably sunny March afternoon.

Wrong. Some banks, and with certain account types, the bank will absolutely make a courtesy call to you if something unusual is happening.

I had a call from my bank while spending a few hundred on cocktails in Bali (I'm from London), I hadn't used my card yet on that trip as I'd taken cash.

They also called me to check a payment into my account with an "unusual" reference; a joke from a friend returning the money he owed for a holiday I paid for, but which made it look like he was paying me for "special services".

They called me to query a payment at a home furniture store for a couple thousand pounds in a city ~300 miles from where I live only hours after I'd used the card near home; I'd driven to this particular store to check out the furniture.

If you're not sure, the _real_ bank will suggest you hang up and call their number found on your card or their website (or in your contacts list, where I keep it) and will never pressure you to answer or provide them information, and they'll NEVER, EVER ask you to read a security code out to them sent to your phone, or using your banking app.

EDIT: To further clarify; my particular bank's app, has, on rotation, a series of warnings, displayed each time I log in, saying things like "BEWARE; if someone [calls/texts/etc] asking/telling you to do [XYZ] ...", e.g. to get this code or that code, or do something else in this app, you're being scammed, "WE WILL NEVER ASK YOU FOR [XYZ]...".

"its Starlink satellite broadband service, which was keeping Ukraine connected to the Internet" is just blatantly wrong. Yes they've send hundreds or maybe a few thousands of terminals ot a country with tens of millions of people. I have not seen any evidence that this plays any role for Ukraine.

It's good that Spacex did send the equipment, but it is still more of advertisement as far as I can see, rather than something keeps the connectivity of Ukraine to the internet. (I'm happy to see reports that show otherwise).
The poison pill can be trivially (for certain definitions of trivial) avoided by having several allies buy 14% of shares each, I presume.
For the exact reason you mention:

> decision to go live is manual and can be based on different criteria in different circumstances

..this conflicts with previously stated requirement:

> a proper support process where critical fixes can be delivered within hours or minutes.

That the decision to go live is based on criteria and circumstances implies that there are criteria and circumstances that make a release ineligible to go live at those times.

If those criteria and/or circumstances are frequently blocking, then the manual pipeline is not prepared to deliver critical fixes on short notice, because the release pipeline is often blocked (whether CD or not)

If those criteria and/or circumstances are infrequently blocking, and the manual release process is also exercised infrequently, then it increases the risk that the manual release process may not work on a critical timeline, because something may be broken but unnoticed from lack of use.

If those criteria and/or circumstances are infrequently blocking, and the manual release process is also exercised frequently without problems, then the critical release should be fine. (Although this case seems suspiciously like CD and I’d be a little surprised to hear that the cost of automating such a finely tuned pipeline is significantly greater than the cost of the manpower to run it manually).

Your body isn't really hungry, as in it doesn't need food, it's just conditioned to expect food at regular intervals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghrelin

We've never eaten so much food at such intervals, don't worry, you're body is fine, being hungry is not being starved.

Merge trains are the way. They do optimistic testing of the prior branches in the queue so the happy path goes fast.
Part of this comes indeed from not trusting the banks -- like, I know the banks do irrational insecure things, and I also don't trust that if I don't do exactly what they say they will actually cover me in case of fraud (which we know does happen, a lot, now).

Like, let's say I insisted on hanging up and calling the number on the back of my phone -- are there any cases that would be disastrous for me, would end up in me losing money, and I really should have stayed on the phone with the person who called me, who really was a non-fraudulent representative?

I'm not confident there are not.

Not quite the same scenario, but Dantzig had the roles reversed on him by John von Neumann. From Wikipedia

> When George Dantzig brought von Neumann an unsolved problem in linear programming "as I would to an ordinary mortal", on which there had been no published literature, he was astonished when von Neumann said "Oh, that!", before offhandedly giving a lecture of over an hour, explaining how to solve the problem using the hitherto unconceived theory of duality.
