That’s because Google has a mail service already (GMail). So does Microsoft. You can send out from their servers through APIs or SMTP. Not exactly what SendGrid and Mailgun primarily get used for (bulk emailing) but similar enough for a lot of cases.

My point was that SendGrid has plenty of competition, and using the cloud provider email services can work for a lot of companies.

A couple of days ago there was an article literally saying that people eating canned fish had lower percentages of cancers.
Couldn’t you just as easily have said men are the users (they’re the ones paying usually) and women are the supply?
>"Most men get somewhere like 0-4 matches a week and most women get somewhere like 100-1000. That’s a 25x difference best-case scenario and often it’s over 100x. Which is kind of insane considering there are about 50/50 men to women ratio in real life."

I always suspected something similar. Is this documented anywhere though that I could look? My response to this was to simply get rid of that app and quit. Why would anyone continue putting in the hours a week for something that led to 0-4 matches a week? How is the platform not a total failure based on this? Doesn't everyone of the guys not in that top 20 percentile turn around and tell everyone it is garbage?
I'm banking on the emergency access feature [1] of Bitwarden (available in self-hosted version too [2]).

The "how it works" section has more information [3] but it essentially boils down to trusted individuals requesting access - which can be manually approved by account holder or they are automatically granted access after a pre-defined wait time.

Bitwarden (paid version) also claims this - "If your premium features are cancelled or lapses due to failed payment method, your trusted emergency contacts will still be able to request and obtain access to your Vault. You will, however, not be able to add new or edit existing trusted emergency contacts."

> Nevada is not a good candidate for a desalination plant.

No, but it's a good candidate for a solar power plant, and the water source is shared with major coastal metro areas. You'd of course want to move the power to the coast; an amount of water equivalent to that produced by desalination could be withheld upstream, in Nevada.

That said, I still think they made the right move building the 3rd intake, even at such expense. That intake is below the "dead pool" level, while the other 2 are not .. so even if ppl can't sort things out politically and continue to draw the water down past the point that it won't flow over the dam, NV will still be able to draw their "allotment". And of course, it's very hard to build desalination plants in CA, no matter how much sense it makes.

The placement of the land for Amazon is very strategic. Those warehouses don't just happen anywhere. Usually they are also very close to a freeway ramp because this makes it easier to get product in and reach customers. A lot of other businesses like Costco favor these same parcels for these same reasons. You'd think there would be a lot of places like this, but to be honest these sorts of huge parcels required for these businesses are rare and valuable real estate in cities. A lot of places are pretty built out already and getting a huge lot like that zoned for this use, let alone near a highway that's near a population center, is not an easy thing. I'm betting there are only a couple dozen sites like that available on the market nationally at any given time.

I use to work in a conglomerate that I did not associate with real estate. After working there for a few years and becoming friends with some people in the corporate real property division, I realized they randomly own a ton of land everywhere and that real estate is just a useful core part of any conglomerate. It's a nice place to park assets, obtain rent, and to rent for offices yourself.

I imagine a lot of conglomerates and large companies do this, because at a certain scale, it's more of a "why not?" question.
Ok, perhaps for your job it is reasonable to know what I call the in-depth definition - implement hash map functionality in language interview is using without using built in hash map functionality of language, discuss trade-offs (or perhaps it is your particular interests that allows you to keep this information readily available) but I guess you can see how many people's jobs do not require this and it would be reasonable for job interviews in those fields to only want the shallow understanding - one line definition of hash map, when would you use it.

If you ask for the in-depth understanding for positions that would never need it, it follows that you will be disadvantaging many applicants who might be great for the position and advantaging applicants who know at least one non-relevant thing.

BitWarden has an emergency access feature.

From my personal experience on my machine with 6gb ddr3, 5400rpm disk, i5 3rd gen KDE is so annoying to use and even multitasking is laggy while on xfce it's very smooth relatively.
This was observed on Ubuntu, Arch and opensuse. Opensuse KDE was the worst of them all while arch with Xfce ran the fastest of them all.
Well alright then. Guess it's back to pretending I give a shit about yoga and feminist books.

I personally found that when implementing a thread pool just using a regular mutex/condition variable and std::queue was just as performant as boost::lockfree::queue, was a lot simpler, and introduced fewer dependencies. Also when using boost::lockfree::queue I got complaints from tsan about some of the things boost was doing. I didn't really dig in but even if you assume that the boost implementation is correct, the fact that it pollutes tsan output is really annoying.

There are probably cases where a lockfree queue makes sense, but I don't think a thread work pool is one of them. Using a mutex also gives you the option for doing batched inserts efficiently (acquire mutex, insert multiple items into the pool).

Chromium uses actor model extensively. Yet in Safari Apple moves into the direction of multiple fine-grain locks for performance reasons I presume. So it unclear which model will dominate the industry. Locks allow for better performance, but the code becomes much harder to maintain and reason about, although even in C++ with the right API and proper discipline the situation is not that bad.

Also it is interesting that Go does not use the actor model with its strictly one polymorphic message queue per sequence or green thread. Rather it is based on CSP or concurrent sequential processes with green threads with multiple typed message queues or channels per thread. In my limited experience with Go I would rather use a third-party actor model implementation rather than native CSP as the programming model is simpler.

Why focus on AAA?

As in many domains, innovation is done through scrappy low-budget experiments and/or by newcomers that are willing to take risks to enter the industry.

Once new ideas get some market traction, they are considered safer bets to expand in scope and production value, or to remix with established ideas to add some spice.

This seems to me like a rather wise and healthy way to operate. And this cycle of innovation looks to be as productive as ever right now, with an especially high rate of experimentation from indies.
Yeah, after all, as everyone knows, it's not possible to care about both climate change and mutilating babies.
By reducing gate count on the processor, they effectively will make the programs longer (more instructions to do the same thing), but it doesn't seem like they are counting memory here..
Is that because CPU 0 tends to be scheduled by default? Or is that because the CPU usually uses core CPU 0, and Linux schedules to different cores?

Redhat Linux docs[1]:

The /proc/interrupts file lists the number of interrupts per CPU per I/O device. It displays the IRQ number, the number of that interrupt handled by each CPU core, the interrupt type, and a comma-delimited list of drivers that are registered to receive that interrupt.

The default value for smp_affinity is f, meaning that the IRQ can be serviced on any of the CPUs in the system. To view use cat /proc/irq/32/smp_affinity for interrupt 32 as example. Setting this value to 1, like echo 1 >/proc/irq/32/smp_affinity, means that only CPU 0 can service interrupt 32.

hmmm yeah i was paying for premium for a month or two so you’re probably right.

and yes, it’s incredibly shallow - it’s online dating after all :)

For what it’s worth I filtered on neither of those dimensions - I get few enough matches as-is.

I will say that I got far far more dates from Hinge than every other service combined, primarily (I think) because I could actually flex my “soft skills” by replying to prompts and photos with a bit of wit. My looks alone aren’t going to make me stand out in the deluge of dudes.

Additionally, Hinge is/was much better at dynamically showing me women that were actually likely to be compatible with me.

> The best strategy for men is to spam matches and messages as much as possible and hope you grab someone's attention.

That’s a naive idea that makes it worse for everybody, including yourself.

If you’re genuinely looking for attention from anyone that’ll give it to you, you probably want to do some self-reflection.

More likely, I hope, you actually do know something about yourself and your tastes and can recognize that you’ll only be a good fit with a tiny fraction of the people on there.

If you’re not seeing that tiny fraction on the app or not matching with them, you either need to be patient, figure out ways to improve your profile, or figure out a different way to meet people.

Spamming indiscriminately may get you the a few extra internet points, but it doesn’t get you any good matches that you wouldn’t have gotten from being a genuine human person on there.

And it’s just makes an already crappy environment even worse.
A few matches a week seems... fine though, right? Unless one wants to go on a first date every day of the week, and really who has time for that? If anything, hundreds of low-quality matches (because men just say yes to everyone) seem worse than a few considered ones.

>It's only indistinguishable to an outsider, because one side of the conversation has practiced puppeting the other and is looking for confirmation instead of probing for flaws.

Possible. But you would have to prove this because there's no evidence for what you say either. It's easy to get this evidence though. Just DO an actual probe of this chat bot and post the conversation.

>It's just not worth it to spend much time considering whether every single conversation thread is fake, but sure it's possible.

Of course it's not worth the time. I'm just saying his claim is useless because it applies to every single conversation. It's like saying all words in the english language are composed of letters. The irrationality comes from the fact that such a statement is POINTLESS to say.

>Neither kind of conversation proves there are two sentient actors to an observer. So "this isn't good enough" isn't a claim exclusively for the AI chat log.

I never said it's good enough. I said it's convincing and compelling. Why? Because No previous chatbot could achieve this level of complexity.

Maybe a better way to put it is... previous chat logs with AI actually had evidence against sentience. This one doesn't. The needle moves forward not because it's proof, but it is one of the first chat logs that doesn't display disproof. That is quite compelling.

Wouldn't that just exacerbate the existing issues? Women already have the choice of applicants despite being roughly half the global population.

> Gaia found strong nonradial starquakes in thousands of stars. Gaia also revealed such vibrations in stars that have seldomly been seen before. These stars should not have any quakes according to the current theory, while Gaia did detect them at their surface.

What does the current theory say and how big of a development is this observation?

Relatedly, given how far we’re starting to push the tech with our observation tools, how certain are we that our observations aren’t synthetic artifacts of the algorithms used to process sensors and generate the results? I’m guessing there’s cross-correlation done with existing observations on other HW/SW that’s used to reduce the probability of that kind of issue. Wonder though if there’s some kind of SW development techniques they employ that could be useful elsewhere in the industry.
If you round up and down with the same probability, it will get canceled on the long run.

I suppose this does mitigate the risk a little, but risks breaking other things. For example, you don't have the simple logic sequence:
a < b => round(a) < round(b)

So I'd say "not worth it"

IMO the solution to both of these is a ~5km perforated pipeline going out to deep ocean.

What’s funny is youre describing the only wealth tax in common practice in the US - property taxes.

The point of wealth taxes (see Texas real estate prices) is to disincentivize rapid asset appreciation.

Texas and California are different in many ways and this is the main one (California income tax vs Texas real estate tax).

California showed (shows) that income taxes only sort of disincentivize inequality, whereas Texas shows wealth taxes very much disincentivize inequality, so much so that the government has to actively lobby to get truly high paying jobs there.
