Just at a guess, perhaps you looked over the fence when you could have satisficed instead, and then you got tangled in details rather than nailing just the main issues and then driving a bargain for more time?

That happens a lot in tech, especially if you frame the problem as one for which the solution must also demonstrate your competence. And more especially if you are generally an externally-referencing person, i.e. "how is this type of thing done" vs. "what can I see needs to be done here and what's the easy fix that comes to mind that I'd bet on" or a contingency planner, i.e. "what general perspectives or anti-patterns am I not aware of that will break this later" vs. "later will come later".

Still, not knowing all the details it's just a guess. Perhaps there's also blame to be placed on the organizational psychology and it's a lesson to push back more next time, or a mix of things...
Huh, not my experience living there for decades. Where exactly in Southeast Asia?
Thanks for your data point. There’s a billion people who don’t fit yours though
Starlink Maritime allows you to connect from the most remote waters across the world

checks map, it’s literally the least-remote waters possible. Why does an actually innovative company feel the need to do this.
For what it's worth, as someone who helped quarterback the SOC2 process, it's a place that's ripe for personal innovation. We had automated scripts do our quarterly screenshots, learned and made full use of AWS Config to check and enforce compliance, worked hard to automate patching, and started tracking all audit tasks using Jira Service Desk. It ended up we used about two engineer-days a quarter on audit tasks. There's no escaping the annual review, but if you spend some time to streamline yourself, it goes pretty smoothly we found.
Thanks, that is a great analysis, especially the details on modern insulin.

What would be even better to know is what people are paying. It is well known that the AWP or average retail price in this case is not close to average price paid.
I hate to say it, but San Francisco needs a complete reset. They need a dictator to come in and - as disrespectfully as possible - go around the bureaucracy.

- Institute a broken windows policy a la NYC in the 90s. Jail / heavy fines for public defecation.

- remove homeless encampments.

- increase police presence in tourist and small business neighborhoods

- delete the open air drug farms. Eliminate all programs that distribute needles.

- sweep the city for needles and feces.

- reduce regulatory burdens on small business owners.

- terminate all bureaucrats who don’t go along with the program
It's safe to say that TameAntelope deeply trusts the invigilators, and believes with high confidence that any undesired "slip" can be prevented; that the power afforded by heightened mass surveillance won't be used to coerce it into enactment against the will of anyone important to them.
I’m not sure if you are checking this random post, but I talked myself into doing some writing on the language (in a presentable format as opposed to my usual .txt file scribbles). Since you are the only person who actively asked for details/info what kind of things would you want to read about? I could write a large amount about my particular beliefs about software, type theory, category theory, and language design, but I would end of writing unconnected ideas all over the place. So, I am trying to focus on presenting the language and using it as an example of the implementation of those topics and a jumping off point for further descriptions of ideas. I think I’m down to two primary options for presenting some general info as a starting point:

a) doing a `front page` type thing laid out like the why-Koka page for the Koka language [1]. (essentially a brief section about each foundational theoretical aspect) Then having links put in for more theoretical/formal information as I write it up.

b) just doing narrative style ‘blog’ post writings about whatever concepts people may want to hear about.

I’m leaning towards option A, but without quite such a strong emphasis on how to use the language and more focus on what the language is. But if you think it would be more informative to just read randomly connected blogs let me know. I’ve never done this before so I don’t have a clue what other people find interesting.

Yeah Remote Where? I can’t believe job postings and websites can’t list this information upfront without asking for it. Most of such offers are typically from the US, which says something about the mindset of the society.
Elitism is a real thing in certain tech companies.
Serial testing only solves the problem if the tests are independent. With complicated medical tests, they often are not independent - for example, you can have a genetic factor that makes you reliably test positive for certain cancers. Note that COVID tests were generally independent (although not completely).

If you want to flood hospitals with false positives that sounds like a good hypothesis. Then the people who actually do have cancer will not be taken seriously.

Here's an example: Suppose you test for a cancer that is very common, and 1 in 10000 people have it. Also, suppose you have a very accurate test with a 5% false positive rate and a 5% false negative rate, and those false positives are sticky. If you 10000 people the test every week, 501 of them will reliably report positive. Every one of them will then report to the hospital with the cancer. Now the hospital has to deal with finding the one true positive before injecting people with literal poison to get rid of that cancer (chemotherapy).

Since the hypothesis is "some people get cancer," you will find all of them! And you will find a shit load more of them who do not.

Compare that to today, when your doctor says "you have a small lump in your body, let's test you for cancer" - that 5% false positive rate will mean very few false positives, so a positive cancer test means that you are ready for invasive treatment.

Data is not information. You need information to make decisions. "Serial testing" only gets you data. That's why we only do it with "informational" tests like the Chem 20 and the CBC.
Everyone is assuming this caters to the rich yacht owner. While I'm sure that's a component of the target market, there are also plenty of other customers. Commercial fishing boats, coastal freighters, offshore oil platforms, cruise ships, various charter vessels, etc. It'd be worth it for a lot of businesses. And once it's available in the middle of the ocean, an enormous armada of freight vessels. $5k/mo is nothing for many of those commercial customers, both for improved logistics and metrics gathering and for keeping the employees/guests happy.
Right, the effective DPI switching works for Firefox on Wayland, but like all other applications on Wayland, fractional scaling will result in blurriness. I was looking into this less than 6 months ago, and I don't see any relevant updates since then and can see various other recent reports of the same issue.

The main applications I use are Firefox and some terminal emulator, so I would be happy as long as I can get both of those working using fractional scaling on either of Wayland/Xorg (without downscale blurring).

It doesn't work in Wayland due to limitations in the protocol and it doesn't work in Xorg simply because Firefox haven't implemented it there (and they seem to have closed the issue as WONTFIX, telling people to use Wayland instead, which has this issue that GGP raised).

It does work specifically in Xorg in Qt applications, though I don't actively use any of those.

Balwani wasnt just any employee. He was a significant debtor(investor?) to the company and could blackmail Holmes for her role in the fraud. Not saying Holmes is innocent or powerless, but it is not entirely fair to suggest she can fire him any time as he does have significant power over her.
Avoid using Glibc or patch-out LD_PRELOAD unless you need it. I don't mean as a response to this one threat but in general it seems to be the go to hooking mechanism. With this measure and signed kernel module loading enforcement with secureboot you can make it more hostile for untargeted malware to succeed in persisting or installing a rootkit.
I agree and I commented something similar above. I'd be curious though to see the original derivation. It wasn't immediately clear to me despite a long history with being told to "rtfm".

Yes, more pedestrian and bike friendly, routing the cars away from the center. Some cities in the Netherlands making efforts towards this.

The author (tourist) writes about over-tourism: a challenge is how to turn those new walkable town centers into new tourist destinations to offload current hot spots?
> this saves having to have 2 vehicles (or 3)

Maybe this saves having to rent a car for the occasion...

Even then. Friend of mine busted his daily commute SUV before a long road trip. Ended up renting a much more fuel efficient sedan. Could not believe how little gas he used on the way. Maybe next time he'll rent again.

Trucks in the US are a stupid status booster for most people. Once you start seeing cars as a box to safely get you, your passengers and your cargo from point A to point B for a decent amount of time and money, and stop thinking about how what you drive makes you look, not a whole lot of trucks make sense anymore.
Elon Musk is an example of this, I guess, with his 10 kids.

I would like to see that curve though, if it really exists.

It could come down to "having kids is expensive" (definitely in the US), so either (1) you start out rich enough that it doesn't matter, (2) you only have a few kids a middle class wealth, or (3) you have many kids and accept having less money.
Something rarely discussed is that the generation technology matters in your specific locale.

If you're powering it with coal, this is horrible. If hydro/solar/nuclear power, well it's still a big load on the grid, but carbon wise it's a small fraction of the footprint.

Of course you need to factor in where the power is actually coming from on your grid. And definitely factor in the time of day (are you charging overnight and actually using a higher carbon source, etc).

When you do the math on this Hummer on the cleanest sources, it's still far cleaner than even a small ICE engine. Even though I still hate it :)
The fundamental difference obviously being that electricity production can change significantly during the lifetime of a vehicle whereas energy production within the vehicle usually can not.

You are arguing that background checks should be a requirement in order to have access to certain protected resources. While this is a fair argument, the counterargument is that most people in this particular software business shouldn't have access to user data/protected branches anyway. If someone needs elevated access, they would likely already have a significant pedigree at the company, and a background check may not add much value. In reality, most companies don't do background checks for security purposes; they do it to screen out candidates who aren't agreeable people, which raises ethical questions. I don't have an opinion on whether this is fair or unethical, but if security was the sole purpose, it would make more sense to background-check employees as a precondition to privileged access, not candidates as a precondition to employment.
It sounds to me like the modern process is just working up GMO yeast matabolites. I feel like the main issue is probably going to be patents and not something technical.
If people took climate change seriously in the 80s nuclear would have been a dramatically better option than solar/wind
OK; there are a few issues with the article and the other comments. I suggest using this to estimate a particular vehicle's footprint in a given US geographic region:

Also, note that grid electricity's carbon intensity is extremely time dependent. Here is 2021 data for California:

When I first learned about Markov chains in the early '00s, I found and hacked at a simple IRC bot, and deployed it to a number of rooms found in the mIRC defaults. It would sit in each channel and learn, only replying when DM'd.

I did give the bot a few hard-coded replies, namely to "ASL?" with "[random integer 20-30]/f/cali" and "pic?" with a random link to images from Google Image search. Otherwise it would happily barf up random Markov walks from all of the other conversations without any consideration of context.

In the span of one weekend at least five hundred unique users attempted to chat with it, some for hours on end. I only have a few logs left, but the conversations generally progressed from horny to irate or bizarre.
I know one guy who started working at Amazon in 1998, got gradually promoted to VP over the years, and never spent much of his money. His net worth must be easily $40 million, perhaps much more - given what their stock price has done over the years.

I'll never understand why he's still working there. The work environment (both physical and mental) at Amazon makes Microsoft look like a luxury resort in comparison.
I get making an effort to use the right words and expressions, like using the correct plural for criteria, or not abusing “begging the question”.

Here are the budget details on this...

"This proposal will use $50 million in funding to enter into a partnership with a contract manufacturer to develop and bring to market interchangeable biosimilar insulin products in both vial and pen form."

"This proposal also includes an additional $50 million for the construction of an insulin manufacturing facility based in California. CalHHS will partner with the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), leveraging its expertise in business investment services such as site review, permit assistance, and other related activities. CalHHS will lean on GO-Biz’s expertise to mitigate risk and properly execute the proposed manufacturing facility, if
CalRx proceeds with this component of the project."
Even ignoring the security aspects, i'd be a little worried a new hire would accidentally type something like "what does\nkill all servers" mean into a channel and then accidentally do stuff.
neato. what kind of chip you got in there, a dorito?
Of course you can. Regulation is one of the most common market failures.
That is a bit misleading.

'Low income' is defined as a household income of 80% of the median ($166K), depending on household size. $150K only meets that for a family size >= 4. There's also 'very low' (50% median) and extremely low (~35% median.)

The Technocrat's Dilemma
Assuming the case where various open data are downloaded for application development or data analysis, dim realizes the storage of information such as data acquisition source and necessary preprocessing in a management information file (dim.json).
By sharing that management information file (dim.json) with other development members, all data preparation can be done with a single command.
It's a mix. California has at least some reasons for why it is a tech haven: non-competes unenforceable; well-supported state university system

California also gets a lot wrong that interferes with tech: prop 13 and friends, housing policy, incredible corruption, massive local conservatism

But California is most like America as a microcosm: horrifically corrupt but such a powerhouse that it resembles a leviathan that charges despite the parasites on its back and belly.
Can’t you use older recipes?
> … and show that they're not warping the market

Arguably the whole point of this is to warp the market by picking the winner and giving them all the business in the state.

Though, chances are this will just turn into a taxpayer subsidized boondoggle like every other time the politicians pick the winner.
Your target here is "capitalism"? Did Canada switch over to a Stalinist command economy when I wasn't looking?
Seems intuitive correct.

The tragic correlation is probably that on both ends of the U, parenting is probably not great on average due to the sheer time demand of being poor/very wealthy.

It's an interesting lens through which to look at society. After all, how many of the current issues could be considered a result of a parenting crisis?
What you do is decide what you care about from a conviction perspective (say, crimes of dishonesty, serious violence etc). Then you write up a policy that says these are exclusionary. Then you only let HR run background checks immediately pre-contract, and you don't let anyone outside of the immediate background check team see any of that stuff. They're empowered to give you a yes/no to hire, but that is all.

Hiring managers should not be looking at BGC material.
> Yeah, everything in Canada is cheaper than the US…oh wait

I don't understand the point you're trying to make.

Hah, core memory triggered.

As a kid I jumped off of a swing onto a rusty nail. Yes, I was barefoot. I seem to remember it went in pretty smooth, and barely felt it, but then I had to pull it out.

The irony is that California was a model for the country decades ago. Now it’s coasting on the inertia of that period. On its current trajectory it’s headed the way of New York, if it’s lucky, and Illinois, if it’s not.
Both Grubaugh and Dr. Murray say the best way to prevent new variants is to get vaccinated and get a booster shot, because if more people are fully vaccinated, it decreases the opportunity for the virus to spread and mutate.

Why are they still writing stuff like that when most everyone knows someone who caught Covid despite being current on Covid shots? The vaccinate-and-treat approach just encourages vaccine evasion and resistance against the various treatments. We need infection control: masks, ventilation and especially paid sick leave.
I find these people pathetic. An existence of Entitlement has no bounds.
Not the same thing, but it does explain your confusion.
It would look to me like the founding articles of a new nation well-worth living in or dying for. The only thing that might discourage me from thinking so is that after all the struggle to live and take on the risks of dying, in a short few hundred years some mass of ungrateful descendants will be running around justifying some subset of the rights being violated, in some set of nearly ubiquitous contexts, for some disgustingly partisan vision of the "greater good". Hell, I think prohibitionism in the US counts as this well before our time.
Well, the idea is that most people should be able to run a full node. Even now, you need a quite large SSD to sync and store the blockchain. Ideally, you'd want to run full node on a mobile device. Block size can be increased in the future when it's reasonable to do so.

Even with larger blocks, there's still the issue of latency and throughput. LN offers trustless instant settlement with very high throughput. Everyone is able to run their own node and open channels, so it doesn't really depend on any central third parties, even if there's some degree of concentration of liquidity. There should always be multiple routes and it should be possible to circumvent any bad actors. And obviously, L1 is still available for everyone.

In addition, there are other L2 solutions such as fedimints and statechains. The beauty of layered architecture is that there can be multiple competing solutions on L2, and L1 can be kept simple, secure and decentralized.

Here's a good article on the problems of scaling with big blocks + SPV: https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2017/07/30/could-spv-suppor...

California income tax has no carve outs for capital gains so I don’t know where you got that idea. Rich people specifically don’t like California because of the taxes (as compared to other No or low income tax states).

I assume you are referring to property taxes, but undoubtedly any “dynastic” family is going to have more tax liability from income than from property value.

Nice. If you had an option to hide selected domains (I would blacklist pay-walled sites), it would be compelling.
I’m not that old either. At least I tell myself that. It might even be true.

One doesn’t recognize a well packaged lie overnight. Or at least I didn’t. Took burnout to realize the company I was willing to give it all for never really meant all of those sweet things it told all of us. And that was true long before I worked there. The wrapping was nicer. Have you heard of a “pension?” Some of the older employees, by tenure, would talk about them. They sounded just magical. Wonder where those went. Not the only perk that has vanished with time, but perhaps one of the most notable.

But it took too long to see it. I didn’t really want to. It hurts getting your heart broken.
Most suburbs are already net negative funding sinks for the cities nearest them. I wonder how much worse it's going to be in the aftermath of this trend.

Is it? Not all hummer drivers are Arnold Swartz. what if the main buyers are just folks who want the largest electric cars? It's possible this mainly cannibalizes Tesla Model X sales more than gas Hummers.

I haven't seen studies for who buys what but until there is we're all just making wild assumptions about consumer demand.

For the record, I'm not saying this is awful or hurts more than it helps. My main point is brands offer more EV options shouldn't defacto be applauded.
Title is inaccurate. This impacts couples making more than $500K (or individuals making over $400K) that have funneled their income through a pass through corporation to avoid paying the medicare tax.

The proposal is to close the loophole and make them pay the medicare tax.
