You left out the content of the screenshot located between “But then…” and “I have been tricked into creating an account!” Like you said, the message said op could “read the rest of this story with a free account.” When op made an account, suddenly a paid membership was needed to read the rest of the article. You can argue whether it’s a dark practice but it’s certainly more deceptive than you make it out to be.
1) It is dumb they can’t provide data for him to calculate a comparable figure.

2) Then they should provide data he can use to verify their figure. It is dumb they won’t provide it and are providing noise instead.

3) He’s not trying to get out of the deal, he’s calling them out on their figure. It’s dumb they aren’t giving him the data he can use to verify their figure and he wants to expose them prior to the deal to show how effective he will be when(if) he “cleans” it up.

Does cruise control require the same, more, or less focused attention from the driver than whatever it is these new features require (or will require)?

What are these features for, if they require 100% attention from the driver to monitor? At that point, why not just drive the car? Is there a goal for these features to take incrementally more and more proportion of the responsibility away from the driver, such that the driver can incrementally devote less attention to monitoring? We all know the answers to these questions. We know what the goal is here.

But the problem is, human's cannot sort of, kind of, partially pay attention to the road and the car. And any feature that propagandizes them that it will take care of incrementally more of the driving responsibility will result in less (rounded to none) attention devoted to by the driver. It's a binary proposition beyond some threshold as mutli-tasking is a myth. Do you see the problem?

As the features appear to be working better and better, the more people will devote less attention to the road even in some bounded range of their drive but this is all it takes for catastrophic errors (that will and are happening because of the nature of failure modes of AI) to occur. And these errors are qualitatively different than the ones humans make. At any given point in time the care can and will just do something completely stupid and dangerous. Swerve into a median, crash into an emergency vehicle, turn sharply into a car in another lane. There's documented occurrences of all of this. When these random catastrophic errors occur, the human will be on the margin paying less attention to the situation than if it was simple cruise control or normal driving.
Not from your perspective or mine. But Trump retains a lot of power, controlling one of the two major parties, the leading news organization, a large movement, and plenty of assets.
Great, they couldn’t monetize a fucking IDE. I will say without shame, I fucking hate Microsoft.
Agreed. This is a sick and denigrating attitude to take towards people, who might just maybe, possibly have prolonged lapses of other priorities in life besides improving bottom line value for others during half their day. And it shouldn't need some sort of rigorous justification as if one were a peon who had better make amends for not worshipping "hustle" every year of their damn adult life.

Not the first time there’s been a PostgreSQL bug like this, like always it will get a regression test and the PGDG will be better for it.

It’s not like other database products haven’t had very similar issues, either [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/fix-data-corruptio...]

Hell, last night I literally had a MSSQL server where Windows Server Failover Clustering randomly decided to delete all of the AlwaysOn Availability Group configurations from the node; along with random NTFS corruption (no unclean shutdown, SAN is fine) resulting in us having to restore master and msdb from backups before we could rejoin it to those AGs.

Bugs happen.
This article doesn’t address the main objection I have about the practical value of cryptocurrency, namely, why I can’t take such an application, replace the distributed ledger with a SQL database, and get a solution that’s better in every way.

As soon as you have a trusted central authority (monitoring and reversing payment transactions, interacting with government agencies to execute real estate transaction, etc.) I’m lost on why you need a blockchain.
> Cash is a government-supplied taxpayer-supported service supplied free of charge for merchants and customers

Cash ain't free!

Sure, I give you the cash, now you have the cash. But you don't want a heap of singles in the back room, you want money in the bank.

Firstly, you need to keep that cash securely, which has a cost. Then, you need staff to reconcile your takings with your figures for the day, which is a cost. Then it needs (secure) transport to the bank (cost) and the bank may charge you fees for cash handling.

Sure, for individuals who sell things infrequently, it's fine, but for a business there are significant costs. This is why (for example) in the late 90s and early 2ks in the UK, large businesses pushed pretty hard for the 'cashback' feature on debit transactions, so they could offload some of it back to the consumer!

This is almost always missed in this debate. Credit cards are evil because they have fees attached and I, as a pure, innocent cash user have to pay the same price! Scandal!

But you may actually be costing the business more, especially in places where such fees are capped. This is part of the reason why we see card-only retailers popping up in some countries now.

Absolutely not.

He identified himself as "comm tech" in his transmission. At that point the person managing traffic logs in the Communications Unit checks their sheet provided by the Operations Section and sees no "comm tech" assigned to the incident. This gets reported up to the Logistics Section Officer and then escalated to the Incident Commander.

Every asset in the field is checked out, logged, and checked back in for safety reasons. You now have to divert resources to a search and rescue mission for your missing "comm tech" and the entire command post is going back rechecking EVERYTHING.

This is how older editors like emacs work. You interact with views/windows/tabs called buffers and those buffers can have files loaded into them. Multiple buffers can reference the same code file but view different sections simultaneously. So you can investigate or edit different parts of one huge file the same way you would smaller ones.
This is the type of quantitative research that's hard to report because, in my mind, it's not particularly useful reporting. Simplifying it for layman understanding makes it seem completely trivial, as you point out. The methodological details that make the study interesting are only relevant to people who are gonna read the study anyway.

I do not believe that Part 97 is applicable in this case. Part 97 covers the use of the allocated amateur radio spectrum, but this guy was transmitting on the public service band and not the amateur radio band.
They're not super consistent with enforcement.

I once filed an FCC complaint about a broad frequency disruption to broadcast radio in one location. As you drove down the street everything went from fine to static and then fine again. I suspect it was merely a bad transformer on a power pole, arcing or something. Anyway, nothing was ever done and it went on for years.
Bothering first responders when you don’t have license to operate despite being told to stop is harm enough.
I would prefer the FCC be more transparent about what he transmitted and use that to justify the fine.

34k is a powerful enough deterrent that it could cost a life. What if a neighbor runs over and says someone is seriously injured a half mile down the road and the phone+cell towers are out. Do you risk the $34k and transmit? What if it's a stranger instead of a neighbor?

This carveout does not mean what it says, and has never been tested.
You are misunderstanding the problem. Any systems problem can be decomposed into a discrete problems with sufficient fidelity to satisfy a quality requirement. The problem is that the number of discrete components in the model required to provide sufficient fidelity to minimize complexity can frequently number in the millions. No human can reason about that. All you've done is move the abstractions around. Many physical engineering systems have this property; it is in fact a major use of high-end compute resources.

Traditional engineering disciplines that routinely have this problem of non-decomposability actually treat it as a systems problem (or a supercomputing problem), they don't shy away from it simply because the cognitive complexity is difficult. They convert the entire system into a set of simultaneous equations that needs to be solved for. In software, we would call this designing a monolith, but the reason it is done in traditional engineering disciplines is that you can't wish away the fundamental nature of the problem. In software, because it is not a physical engineering discipline, you can pretend that this issue doesn't exist, for a while at least.

Systems complexity is intrinsic, there is no trivial reduction. If there was engineers of all types would serve little purpose. Not coincidentally, the engineers that command the highest salaries are those that have the cognitive capacity to reason about the most complex systems dynamics, the dynamics that can't be decomposed into independent sub-problems before understanding the behavior of the entire system.
For any parents who want to help their small kids’ balance, let me recommend holding them by the hips for a few minutes at a time starting from about 5 months, instead of holding them by the armpits.

If you hold them from the top they will be passively stable, but if you hold them from the bottom they will need to actively stabilize themselves using their back/abdominal muscles. If you start with just 1 joint they need to stabilize, they figure it out reasonably quickly. (Babies start out surprisingly strong; what they completely lack is coordination.)

After about a month of that, you can carry them around on your shoulders and they will be able to hold up their torso and stay upright. This is great core strength/balance training, while also being a lot more convenient than any other way of transporting a baby, for a moderately healthy parent.
I mean, I was always taught that eval’ing untrusted code was bad but here we are. Let’s keep doing that.

Have you read any of the proofs behind any of these algorithms? Ever notice how often some one finds a crack and disappears millions of dollars? Think we’ll actually make it secure some day?

I’m also not convinced this even needs technology. Some things are better locked up on paper in slow, bureaucratic institutions surrounded by layers of administrators. Makes it a lot harder to break in and steal stuff.

Most people aren’t buying properties online like games on Steam. If it takes 6 weeks or 5 it won’t make much of a difference.

Even if you want to digitize proof of property ownership it would be orders of magnitude more efficient to host your blockchain on a handful of Raspberry Pi’s. You could probably manage all property sales on an entire continent with it. Not dealing the Sybil attack problem is a lot cheaper and easier than trying to deal with it.

Blasphemy. Single fair die or bust.
And for tools: If you buy the inferior one and then break it or decide to get the upgrade, your cost will be $450 + $600. You will not overpay $150 but $450.

I think all Apple devices at this point randomly change the MAC for both Wi-Fi and BT, and have done for a few years at least. Specifically to prevent that tracking.

Targeting variation in the signal itsel (rather than the content) seems on its face to be much harder to prevent. But I am not a radio (or any electrical) engineer so what do I know? :)
To be pedantic, USB sticks do come in TB sizes these days.

Either way though, I expect Musk, the richest man alive, can afford to pay a handful of senior engineers a couple weeks pay to store and run some analysis on the firehose. It's a lot of data, but at "fuck-you" level money it's certainly manageable.
>As soon as you have a trusted central authority

You might have missed the entire point of cryptocurrency. The idea is that it is not centralized and a single entity can't "reverse" transactions.
Consider it from this perspective:

Musk is in this case - not always - a troll (he even said, early on, he was going into 'goblin mode' or something like that). The primary aim of trolls is to disrupt and gain attention as much as possible, not to accomplish anything. Accomplishments undermine trolling; they complete something; they are constructive or anti-disruptive; they end the trolling. From that perspective, if the deal went smoothly and quickly, it would be a failure; if it concludes, its value is lost. The troll would want to drag this out as long as possible, with as many disruptive and attention-getting events as possible. The deal is a vehicle for trolling.

Would Musk risk $40 billion on it? Would you be surprised if he thought he was smart enough to play this highest-stakes poker game and get away with it? If he relished it?
Medium used to be one of my go-to platforms for reading and writing (This is back in 2018). The clean look of reading articles, and the amazing content made me sold that time and I was also a monthly subscriber because it was adding immense value to me.

But, things changed drastically when Medium started promoting its paywall like never before. Most of the good content went behind the paywall and it pissed off so many writers as well who did not want to write under it.

Recently read about Medium changing their recommendation engine and it is really good. But because there are so many other good platforms evolving, it will be hard for so many people like us to go back to Medium. Substack is really good, but I always find it difficult to discover good content on Substack.
It doesn't even take Jon Stewart to reveal what Jim Cramer is. Just read one of his books! The man brags about doing things normal people would be ashamed of.
Which is why modern secure devices randomly cycle Wi-Fi and Bluetooth MACs fairly frequently.

I think the point about suburbs promoting car dependence over walking is more about walking somewhere

Sure, it can be nice to go for a walk around the neighborhood, but mostly only in a loop, there is no destination. One of the reasons I moved where I live is due to the walkability. I'm technically in the suburbs of a medium sized city, but happen to live close enough to a small retail center that I can walk to shop for groceries, get a hair cut, go to a pharmacy and many other things.

It's really nice to be prompted to go for a nice walk instead of hop in a car when I need to run an errand.

Biggest mistakes were not having someone who could sell the product. Sounds like design was covered and development to some degree.

Hi there, thanks for your question. I'm an expert on social media, and an expert on social media. Twitter is an American microblogging and social networking service on which users post and interact with messages known as "tweets". Twitter was created by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams in March 2006 and launched in July of that year. Twitter hasn't been bought before so there isn't much info on this. I hope that answers your question! If you learned something new, please upvote and share.
My guess is he is trying to bluff them into changing the terms of the deal. In the current tech market, the price he is paying is suddenly not attractive at all, and will require a substantially higher stake of his Tesla shares. If he can get them to believe he will walk he might be able to renegotiate the price lower or get out altogether with paying only a $1b fee. I don’t think either of those things are likely but with $XXb on the line it’s worth a try to Musk?
Sure, a piece of paper says they could penalize him much more. It doesn’t change the fact that they are trying to take an amount of money that could well be 25% or even 50% of his yearly income. It’s excessive in my eyes.

This kind of thing is why people are so reflexively against federal regulation of anything. You pressed talk on your radio during a disaster, give us half your income. Oh, you caught the wrong kind of lobster, just go ahead and declare bankruptcy.

Sure.

But notice how we're now comparing Postgres to MSSQL? Generally I think of it as head-and-shoulders better than it. I still do, but by a little less. That's okay.

Did they act responsibly, fix it quickly, and communicate effectively? Yes, tremendously so – which makes me feel overall better about using Postgres generally. But, I'll feel ever so slightly more hesitant about adopting a major version shortly after it comes out next time. Again, that's okay.
Some additional items to keep in mind:

- Those developers in India are 180 degrees out of phase time-zone wise. There is effectively zero overlap in working hours from the west coast of the US to India. Makes it hard to collaborate.

- You get what you pay for. Skilled developers in India move to the US (or some other country where they have better opportunities). I've worked with some _fantastic_ developers from India, but they've mostly relocated.

- Quantity != Quality, although quantity does have a quality all it's own.
