That's just not true for any sort of science that requires significant collaboration or infrastructure. Things like modern medicine or high energy physics are completely unaccessible to individuals when it comes to doing worthwile things. And on top of that some of these fields very much require government licensing, since you can't just let normal people play with radioactive materials or go around injecting drugs into patients.
> a Robux "allowance,"

That doesn’t seem any different from a normal allowance that they buy Robux with? And removes the intermediate step of me needing to enter my credit card details in exchange for my kids cash.

Whether you allow them to buy Robux in the first place is a different question.

Wow, overblown headline.

Facebook is not "being banned", Facebook is simply being required to protect EU citizen's information the same way every other company is.

Part of that means not subjecting them to warrantless surveillance, since the US government has repeatedly and aggressively said that the data any company has from anyone not living in the US has no such protection. If this hurts Facebook's business they should go and talk to the US government about why it has decided to cause such harm.

Obviously this makes the US government (and gruber and similar tech pundits) complaining about TikTok complete bullshit. TikTok is literally doing exactly what Facebook is doing, why should that data be any less accessible to the PRC gov than Facebook's data is to the US?

There are bunch of transpilers which might provide a path from statically typed python3 to native binaries. py2many is one of them.

The downside is that all of the C extensions that python3 uses become unusable and need to be rewritten in the subset of python3 that the transpiler accepts.

Going through Dr Brian Harvey's CS 61A - so this is well timed, thank you for sharing.
I thought about this a bit more, and maybe a more charitable scenario is that you want to be able to show that the VC money is being put to good use, and quickly. If you are hiring a ton of employees, it's a signal that a lot of hard work is being done and that the funding is being used directly to make it possible to complete that hard work.

I also want to be clear that my perspective is mostly that of a contributor. I have never founded a company or been involved with venture capital, or related forms of investing, in any professional capacity.

Personally I don't quite understand why a founder would want to take a huge pile of money and then burn it as fast as possible trying to hit some hyper-growth target, when they could instead take a small amount of money and set up a stable revenue-earning business. But then again, I'm so risk-averse that I haven't quit my job to start a business, so my opinion probably isn't worth that much.
The current standard for making live visuals for events (i.e. 'vee jay') is Resolume. The one thing that Resolume lacks is effective support for importing 3D objects.

You know what, this is all just your opinion at this point man. We’re looking at the same picture and seeing different colors. If it’s coming down to that then it’s gonna be shit for you and the other Russians because they lack the ability to gain anything but a Pyrrhic victory.

Even if they are planning on showing the “immoral lengths” they are willing to go, all they’ve done is drive more nations into their enemies arms.

Edit: also lol did you really bring up that countries outside NATO didn’t agree with their decision making in a thread where you’re arguing that Russia had to do this invasion and everyone should have just let them?

Aping into Progress: A Report on Crypto Philanthropy

I've been to Venice and I do feel kind of bad about the situation. I wish there were more cities like it to visit or live in, that were really aggressively pedestrian friendly. The fact that it's mostly little alleys and side streets with nary a car to be seen is just...sublime, in its own way.

It's amazing the impact it has on your brain to not have to worry about cars at all as you wander about on foot. Of course there are many reasonably pedestrian-friendly cities all over the world, but I can't really thing of anything on Venice's level where it's in a developed/rich country, and yet there's this decently-sized population/geographical area with essentially zero cars around.
There have been a couple in my history. They never lasted.

The organizations usually worked them out, but I've also just straight walked off the job before as well. There's a really fine point where I go from mitigation to abandoning it

I'm thinking about leaving my current job. Almost five years in and I've had just as many leadership changes. Not really abusive, they just play favorites and are a little short-sighted.
I see, I hear you. Well, all the FAANG companies have high performance dev groups that dabble with GPU. Games companies all do GPU, plus any team doing graphics. Neural network jobs at AI companies are around but more likely to require the history & PhD, and land in the startup category. First place I did any GPU work for my job was WebGL at LucidChart (a web app competitor to Visio). AMD, Apple, Sony, Nvidia and anyone else making GPU or SIMD units have tons of jobs and you can likely start with something close to what you currently do and transition toward more high performance programming. I dunno if that’s at all helpful, but sorry about the disillusionment, I know that can be difficult to deal with.
For such a simple application (pane with 20 controls and a GO button, 2k lines of code), I think Lazarus (or Delphi) are fantastic solutions.

Either of these two would give you Windows, Mac, and Linux coverage for your app (and in the case of Delphi, also mobile apps).

I haven't personally used any tool besides zrepl, but I like the flexibility it offers. It can do both push and pull-based replication. I have my offsite target server (with its own retention policy) pull from the source server. If the source ever gets ransomwared, it can't encrypt/delete all the existing snapshots on the target.

And another huge benefit for my setup is the ability to use an HTTPS connection for the replication instead of SSH. My source and target servers are in different continents so there's pretty big latency. zrepl's HTTPS server manages to transfer data at ~890Mbps while SSH doesn't deal with the high latency as well and only manages ~190Mbps.
Agreed Qt is the play for desktop apps. I use it at work quite a bit, and if you’re careful enough you can just rely on upstream packaging for Linux. Windows isn’t horrible if you’re only relying on base/core and the platform plugins. It’s not tiny, but at least an order of magnitude smaller than an electron app. Mac I do not have any experience with so I can’t speak to that.

It really is a fun framework to develop with and it’s signal/slot feature is a delight. I’ve recently developed a Wt web app and the learning curve was basically zero after having the Qt “expertise” I do, quoted because even after 10 years with it I’m always learning something new. The more I learn the less I know kind of thing.
ETH 2 Proof-of-Stake: What Devs Need to Know
I see what you're implying, but Balwani's also been covered very extensively, including his trial.

He's featured prominently in all the most public Theranos material including the book Bad Blood and the series The Dropout. If he doesn't get as much play as Holmes it's not by much — they are both very much front and center. If you hadn't heard much about him (or the fact that he'd very much be on trial the same as Holmes), I'd very much recommend going to the source material — Carreyrou's book, which an easy 300-pager that reads like a thriller

In terms of media, try a custom Google search with a time range that excludes today's sentencing date [1] and you will find thousands of articles written about his trial before now. And beyond that, most of the articles about Holmes' trial end up talking about Balwani in the body because shifting the blame to him was her most central defensive strategy (and vice versa on Balwani's side).

The surprising thing to me on there was that despite the bad loans to Theranos (money that is worth $0 now), they still estimate his net worth to be $85 million as of 2022, so way up from even the $40 million he started with in the early 2000s. I guess that despite the Theranos shenanigans, most of it was parked safely.

"There would usually be routes"

ah; I believe you are mentally imagining a kids' room floor full of Lego, and adult inexplicable inability to avoid them :)

For me at least, that's not the threat vector.

It's when you go to your office or living room, a seemingly safe place at a safe time and your mind is not running "Obstacle avoidance program", and unexpectedly there's a single sharp piece of lego hidden in the patterns of the carpet or underneath your office work chair, or even when it's in the middle of the bathroom floor in the pitch dark at 3am when you're running to the toilet --> let me tell you, THAT one REALLY hurts, and usually results in secondary or even tertiary damage :P
Clickbait.

Schrems 2 is old news [1]. And my guess is a new US-EU deal will be struck[2] because US currently is in stronger position (geopolitically) than EU.

It never ceases to amaze me how comfortable people here in the UK are with state-funded busy-bodies filming and monitoring them 24/7.

It's gotten so bad that if I were to write some offensive rap lyrics here I could be visited by the police to "check my thinking", or worse I could prosecuted. This applies regardless of whether I've actually offended anyone, if the state feel what I said could hypothetical be considered offensive then it's illegal. Similarly, if you are actually trying to be offensive, but your offense is directed to groups or individuals the state doesn't like, you'll be fine.

I'm sure a similar approach to enforcement will be applied here. If the state decides they don't like you, perhaps because your protesting the wrong things, they'll likely use this technology to keep you in line.

Literally no one here cares though. Brits tends to hold the opinion that if you just don't say or do the wrong things you'll be fine.

I've never used a java app that didn't feel like a total clunker, especially with time to start up. This includes simple little utility apps, like testing SMTP servers.

I won't dispute electron apps are also often slow, but there are counter examples, such as VSCode, that are actually reasonably snappy on fairly modest systems.

What's the counter example that runs on JVM where I might not notice it's running on the JVM? (I'll also freely admit I've spent the last decade avoiding java apps when I can, because I've never had a pleasant experience due to the combination of performance and early-2000s aesthetic. Maybe the situation is vastly different today and it's just me that's outdated)

I suspect the market here is not individuals that want to browse YouTube and check their email.

Market 1: large multi person vessels like cruise ships. At any time someone wants to use the internet, and the ship can 'sublet' out a 2Mbit subset on an time basis.

Market 2: large transport vessels where the owners want a lot of data on what's going on for security reasons. $5k/month and you can have trusted security people keeping a watch over a few dozen cameras 24/7, so you know the crew is doing they job. A bit dystopian but I'd bet there's a market for it.

Yep... the tragedy would be if only you got banned from facebook/google... but when all your friends get banned, they/we all move together to a new platform (and let's be fair, most of us europeans have most of our friends nearby, within the EU, and the ones outside have a lot of EU friends too).

So yeah... a few weeks of panic, and everyone would be using "something else".
Statistics often miss a huge amount of threatening behaviour, and in many countries you just outright cannot trust the stats at all. Plus, people will take more precautions in areas that are genuinely more dangerous - if they didn't, the statistics would look much worse.

In general I think people are actually quite good at perceiving the risk present to them. That doesn't mean 'always correct' but it does mean 'has a good idea of which places are at much greater risk of turning dangerous at 2am'.

Finally, don't forget survivor bias: people who were killed or whatever in a random dangerous area simply cannot go on to report how unsafe an area or activity is. Overall your chances of a bad outcome might still be low in terms of absolute risk but being in the wrong area could easily be hundreds of times more dangerous than anywhere else you've been.

i have - it was horrible. i was at least on land, and could drive with my laptop to a point where i could finally get cell service and tether my laptop whenever i needed internet service (need to download a new copy of Xcode? that's 15% of your monthly allotted bandwidth). it wasn't the speed or bandwidth so much as the latency: 900ms each way meant nothing could be close to "real time", which made things much more difficult.

I appreciate the LEO of starlink, but without essentially "free" launches, there's no way it could be financially viable.

China is special in its way of handling foreign spies I heard: no ideology, just money and overall agreeable contact. Like a business relationship.

That s how they got both much deeper but a lot less loyal cohort of useful idiots to help a bit their image. You ll notice all this spying, as awful as it is for the victims, is about something they can never change: that they're a terrible dictatorship and Xi is illegitimate.

It's not like they got a federal employee to, say, steal missiles blueprint. What a waste of time for them to do all that PR work. Especially when it can backfire and show them as even more insecure and desperate than the day before ...

Iridium was the first network to successfully operate inter-satellite links more than 20 years ago. I wouldn't call it "considerably less advanced".

Iridium and Starlink operate in completely different bands (L vs Ka), with orders of magnitude more bandwidth available on Ka than on L. That (and the fleet size, which differs by 2-3 orders of magnitudes) is where the significantly lower bandwidth stems from.
