Another thing to note is that all the quotes from Medjedovic are directly to a journalist (at Bloomberg, the article was there a few days ago), which leads me to think there are intentional omissions towards the journalist. It is new that this level of detail is reported about happenings in the crypto space, from traditionally and previously non-crypto publications. It had usually been confined to "broad market selloff, here's a bunch of hot takes from our gloomy college friends on how it goes to zero!" instead of "specific incident within a crypto community, here's what happened". Medjedovic on the other hand is only seen as taking advantage of situations, such as a journalist that is perhaps merely enthused by the crypto asset economy at a publication that needs someone looking at it, but maybe not well versed in it or having editors that would notice either.
(Replying to this one, but the sibling comment feels similar in vein).

- I'm not really saying the crypto-side argument is right, really just trying to clarify my perception of what they're saying re: the comment above me.

- The physics thing is really just a comment re: when it's hypocrisy and when it's not.

- FWIW, theft in crypto isn't super well-defined to me re: the laws of men either. Maybe someone who knows current law better than me can explain, but calling a function in a contract that sends updates from one pseudonymous address to another... I don't actually know if current written definitions of theft covers that, or needs some court to interpret it as theft. We kind of understand it as people, but I honestly don't know if "laws of men" as written, do.
This can be a much better approach than upgrading the DAG description language to a true programming language. It forces anything complex to happen at build time where it can do less damage. Plus, we can often use the same library to do static analysis on the output

Running the Airflow Helm is pretty straightforward, even with more "complex" use cases like heterogenous pods for different task sizes.
> a complex system of storage

... which will be built when it makes sense to build it.

Right now, building out storage makes no sense. Money that could be spent on storage is now rightly spent on generating capacity that can still displace carbon polluters. When there is too little carbon pollution left to displace, then will be time to build storage. By that time the storage will be radically cheaper to buy, because its cost is falling even faster than renewables cost ever did.

With COVID becoming just another disease and the uncertainty from the war in Ukraine, it will only be worse from now on for consumer spending.

A lasting peace for Ukraine needs to happen before that will change.

And with Ukraine not willing to give any territory to Russia, that peace seems very far off.

A coup in Russia could change that, but a coup seems very unlikely.
>It seems that browser vendors hurry to push forward as many features as possible without much thinking about user's privacy.

Vendors in plural makes it sound like the market isn't a monopoly of Google at this point. Google naturally loves to be able to fingerprint people based on as many metrics as possible, for their ads.
That sounds they were in the wrong department or wrong school. If they were that interested in QC their undergrad advisor should have told them to apply specifically to QC faculties who have research interests closer to their own.
Does Firefox not have hardware decoding support on the M1? Did the API change when Apple changed architectures or something?

Youtube and Chrome have the same CPU usage on my machine when playing 4K60 video (downscaled to 2K even for even more load). Tested on Firefox and Chrome using this video: http://ftp.vim.org/ftp/ftp/pub/graphics/blender/demo/movies/... (had to hack in a <video> element on the parent page to get it to play instead of download). Firefox uses about 150% of a CPU core, Chrome about 160%. CPU is a i7-7700k, GPU is a GTX1080 but I'm on Ubuntu so the latest Nvidia update probably broke something to get these load numbers.

Many bloated Javascript websites are slower on Firefox for sure, but video playback is one of those things it seems to handle fine (or, just as badly as their competitors do).

> In pushing the expansion, Sen. Paul Bailey noted that no one has been convicted under that law and said he doesn’t expect this one to be enforced much, either.

Something worth noting about the US Justice system, is it's become a dance with tough-on-crime legislators pushing insane penalties that and prosecutors who force defendants to plea crimes down, at the threat of imposing those penalties.

That is, it just makes it easier for prosecutors to punish campers since instead of charging them with a petty crime they say, "hey, plead guilty to a reasonable sentence or we'll take you to trial and if we win you'll no longer be a free citizen." It's a clever workaround to the 5th amendment, which gives defendants lots rights and imposes really expensive standards like "beyond a reasonable doubt" on prosecutors.
Or you can just use hydrofoils, which are an established, proven technology and have been for half a century.
Yeah ... this rant is kinda more about the author than anything. He's mixing information by constructing a nonsense query. "Large format printing" is at least 18 inches wide, on a roll. He's looking for 11"x17", which is just "a printer". The Google results for the query `11x17 laser printer` are much better. At least for me all the carousel ads on the top, the top (and only) text ad, and the first organic results are all direct hits. There is some SEO junk further down, of course.

This is a garbage-in, garbage-out situation where both the web and the query are garbage and Google is doing what it can.
Which are gotten in proportion to the other metric…

It's a little late to be brainstorming low-cost platforms for sea-based logistics (read: Pacific-based).

First flight of a full-scale prototype by 2027? Not any of the legacy defense prime (Raytheon, Boeing, Lockheed, etc.). They probably stopped reading at "low-cost design" anyway.

Of the defense tech companies that CAN move fast enough and have the technical expertise (Anduril, Kratos, anyone else?), this is so far out of their wheelhouse and the $15M incentive is simply not worth it for the substantial chunk of their resources that they would need to stake on a large-scale program with no obvious path to operational relevance & Program of Record status.

It's a cool idea, and the history of similar platforms is fun, but it's tough to see how this becomes real.
They won't and why should they? Nuclear is done in Germany. They won.

Instead Germany has been the biggest motor for renewable development in the world and now needs to jump back on their own ship after 16 years of conservative stagnation.

Something which is happening right now.
Indeed, it's a real waste. Such a unique machine. What you can't really tell from the video is how high that thing is, the tail is incredibly high up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halstead_complexity_measures

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclomatic_complexity

Halstead complexity is about the call graph: the number of possible paths through the code.

Cyclomatic complexity is about the number of 'units of syntax' in the code, which I think is closer to what OP is asking. It uses the terms "operator" and "operand".

In the terminology typically used around parsing code, one way to measure complexity is the number of tokens. In the Halstead terminology that would be both operators and operands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_token

Another is the number of symbols. The Wikipedia article is a little abstract: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbol_(programming) but in the Halstead terminology would be operands.

(The following is a little hand-wavy because the definition of "symbol" varies.)

Tokens, space delimited: if ( obj . index == 0 && ( f_mode > 3 || state [ 1 ] != null ) )

Symbols: if obj index f_mode state null

versus

Tokens: if ( Membership . IsExpired )

Symbols: if Membership IsExpired

As commented above, you have to do it this way in Sweden, you have to announce in public that you are going to lay off people and then from there on you negotiate with the union if you plan to not do stack-based firing (last-in-first-out).
This is why I struggle understanding the mainstream usecases for crypto. Will it forever be bound to the "only put in what you can afford to lose?" mindset?

Or are people banking on another layered solution which has arbitration, disputes, clawbacks, etc - all built within the blockchain. (I remember EOS discussing something like this)

Note: I understand that risk is present in any financial endeavor, but knowing that the courts can help you does de-risk the amount people will feel comfortable investing.
Is anybody out there doing anything interesting with Airflow monitoring?

At my startup Cronitor we have an Airflow sdk[0] that makes it pretty easy to provision monitoring for each DAG, but essentially we are only monitoring that a DAG started on time and the total time taken. I keep thinking about how we could improve this and it would be great to hear about what’s working well today for monitoring.

From the article:

> Instead, if you are working in Europe, you will be offered to leave Klarna with an associated compensation. Outside of Europe, the process for impacted employees will look different depending on where you work. You will obviously receive more information about this very soon.

The article makes it seem like regulations in Europe (technically, the countries in Europe with a Klarna employee presence, although that's not explicitly mentioned) are similar enough, which is what the GP wanted clarity on.
I definitely agree with the second paragraph. I got lost in tooling the first time I tried to learn FPGA. The second time, I got an iCE40 and used iverilog, flashrom and other open source tools. And it was extremely simple! Based on what I saw in the video (having to create a user just to download the software), I don't think FPGA manufacturers get this part.

The problem with jamming is that in order to be effective the transponder has to be very "loud", which means it can be destroyed by a missile which is built to target the "loudest" object in front of it.

I agree but this was the original idea behind tenure, and here we are. The question is how to return to this understanding of its meaning.
That’s not what they’re doing though, they’ve announced it and plan to tell people over the next few days, certainly not enough time to negotiate with a union. They’ve already chosen who is being let go, they’re simply delaying the process of informing people because (presumably) managers only have a certain capacity for meetings: they think a delayed face-to-face meeting is better than an immediate email.
>Berkeley has a 4.8 billion dollar endowment

Endowments are not simply a pool of money sitting around spendable on anything. They are generally composed of thousands and thousands of donations, each with specific requirements for that donation. Some may be scholarships, some to fund specific research projects, some to specific departments or groups (and again with strings attached).

A better indicator of is the salary reasonable, is are there ample job applicants for the positions? If people choose this position over all their other options than this pay is market clearing, paying more is simply taking money from other productive uses.
That would be a great paper to write and publish.
That's not what your original comment said.

I never hear "code is law" from defi protocols, their ToS, or really from anyone. It's only the detractors of Web3 who tout this false logic of "code is law" so I guess you're screwed.

Examples of code NOT being the law: Some defi protocols have made those affected by a hack/loophole whole again with their own funds. Some defi protocols explicitly exclude certain jurisdictions like the US from accessing their protocol. Surely if they all belived "code is law" they wouldn't give a fuck, right?

My PhD - and subsequent research - is in security. I will happily explain my research to anyone who will listen. In case I'm not sure, I just start explaining just in case.

How privacy in voting is important. How most scraping studies have a fundamental flaw. How to catch scientific fraud.

Current WiP is on reconstructing possible histories of NTFS files. Sounds boring? We're working to catch criminals that claim "never had that file".

Yeah, similar to pay day loans. It's predatory.
I'm a software developer in a large german city and I'm facing this issue. Rent is very high, around 50% of my net income. Food gets more expensive by the day and the war in the Ukraine isn't even factored in yet. I can't live outside the city since I need to go to the office 2-3 times per week just for the privilege to stare at my monitor there, just like at home.

I'm a depth-first learner. I prefer to have the time and focus to learn as much as possible about a new area, as deeply as possible, and in one "chunk".

Obviously sometimes that isn't well-supported by my immediate needs. In those cases I tend to be incremental - I work on the problem that I need to solve until I run into a roadblock. I solve that roadblock and continue until the next one. This approach makes it more difficult to estimate "time to completion", but it's proven to be most efficient for me so far.
In some EU countries it is common that the companies offer employees a “deal” to leave without laying off the staff. At least three months of salary in compensation is common. I know companies that handed out 3 or 6 months + 1 month for each year of employment in salary.

You may only get fired if you are deemed incompetent and have a higher position or does something silly. Not working is not enough.

You can still quit. And, at least I would recommend you doing it. I have yet to do the jump to industry, but from what I'm hearing so far: There is little to no value assigned to the _paper_. And, at least in my view, this is exactly as it should be.

There are two and only two situations [0]:
1) The company requires your specific expertise and won't care about the title as you are the one with the knowledge
2) The company does not require your specific expertise at which point they care about the PhD as a marker of "can do stuff autonomously", which has nothing to do with the title.

On the other hand: (that is an assumption that may be wrong) You are miserable! That is time and joy that you won't get back. Academia will not be thankful for your sacrifice!
And besides: I highly doubt that you would have to work for less pay if you quit.

[0] well there is a third one: Someone wants someone with a title for title slides and reports. But I _really_ don't want to work for these people, so I'm discarding it.
