Ironically, if you read the details of the Fremont cases, the problem was perhaps the disinclination by managers (presumably disproportionately white) to intervene. Almost all the harassment was line-level employees harassing each other, and the vast majority were black and Latino employees harassing other particular black and Latino employees. It was widely reported that the N-word was regularly thrown around; less widely reported that in the vast majority of the cases (and for some plaintiffs, all the cases) it was other black employees saying the word, and despite the stereotype some of the targets (i.e. plaintiffs) found it harassing regardless of who was saying it.

The managers should have gotten involved sooner, of course, thus the verdicts. But my impression is that the environment was perhaps better described as one of hazing, rather than one of pervasive racism (at least of the white supremacy variety) implied in the popular discourse. And before anyone starts justifying their outrage with arguments regarding historic power differentials, there are many similarities with the caste bias sometimes reported by and among Indians in IT, where non-Indian employees and managers are blind to much of it and hesitant to involve themselves when its brought to their attention. In those cases Indians are often overrepresented at the managerial and executive level.

None of this excuses managers from accountability, but the prickliness of woke race ethics certainly doesn't make identifying and resolving the harassment any easier.
You could have a plumber or handy person take a small sump pump some pipe and a faucet and create a pseudo faucet that just pumps the exiting water from the bath up through a faucet all for the low cost of a few cents of electricity per hour. If this is something that has been a fascination for an extended period of time already (where your child is not just temporarily fixated) you could I am sure also have the concept built in to a bathroom tub.

No they're intertwined. Recall that von Neumann, the beautiful one, was intended by his father to follow in his banker footsteps. He wanted to be a mathematician "instead."

As if it were so different. The best physicists will also make economical designs, that was Fat Man, an economical bomb design these Yankees could actually build with their own smarts. Come on. It's money, energy is money, uranium is better than gold, golden bullet, you want plutonium, lead bullet. Ultimately literally lead.

Is it correct to say that when you get something "shipped and sold by Amazon.com", it really comes from them? It's the "fulfilled by Amazon" (the infamous FBA) that you need to watch out for.

It's a bit screwy, but you can filter by seller by clicking into a specific product category, and then selecting Amazon.com in the bar on the left. Then all the items should be "shipped and sold by Amazon.com".

But I've been sort of shocked to find recently that Amazon's prices, even with free shipping, are often not competitive with buying first-party, even with paying the shipping. For a lot of products these days, if there's a recognizable name brand associated with it, I just by first-party. You get it slower, but you know what you're getting, and probably end up giving more money to the seller too.

I would not have seen myself doing this ten years ago.
It's a hostage situation. This is how you can tell Amazon is a dangerous monopoly: when even the people they fuck over have no choice but to smile and say, "But we still love 'em!"
Who cares? If Google is malfeasant in its relationship with LO, then fork it. That’s how LO was founded, a fork born out of concerns of Oracle’s malfeasance in its relationship with OO.

I wrote some Python code recently that uses a similar data structure (Futures instead of Promises, without knowing necessarily about the data structure's use in JavaScript). It wasn't really for caching.

I modeled mine on the Django ASGI reference library's server implementation, which uses the data structure for maintaining references to stateful event consumers. Exception handling is done with a pre-scheduled long-running coroutine that looks at the map.

I'm curious about your second point -- why exactly do things get bad with high tail latency? Is it only a weakness of the data structure when used for caching? I'm having trouble picturing that.
It really depends. They may have a lot of charm, but also cut every damn corner with basic things like forks and knives. I've been in a few places that I swear must have purchased their cutlery from some aliexpress outlet for $5 or something. The edges of the forks were razor sharp.

Don't even get started on how few of them clean the dishwasher filter or anything like that. Ever looked at the filter trap on one of those places? Yuk!
I’d be curious how?
I was lucky enough to visit a Pratchett exhibition at the Salisbury museum, near where he lived for most of his adult life. It had a bunch of his books, papers, things from his life, even his desk with six monitor set-up, one of which was playing Doom on loop!

His deep love of the people of the landscape and people of Wiltshire and the surroundings, most obvious in the later Tiffany Aching books, was huge for me as a teenager growing up in this area. Articulated how I feel about my home better than I ever could.

> Union find takes as input some undirected graph <N, E> and internally constructs (and progressively mutates) a directed graph <N, E'> which it uses to efficiently answer queries about whether two nodes n₁, n₂ ∈ N are in the same connected component of <N, E>.

I don't think this is a valuable way to think about the structure. That's not what it's for.

A union-find is a direct representation of the mathematical concept of an equivalence relation. The input is a bunch of statements that two things are equal. It will then let you query whether any two things are or aren't equal to each other.

This is captured well by the more formalized name "disjoint-set structure". You have a set of objects. You can easily remove an element from the set. But it makes no conceptual sense to try to "separate two of the elements in a set". They're not connected, other than conceptually through the fact that they are both members of the same set.

A union-find is a good tool for answering whether two vertices are in the same connected component of a graph because being in the same connected component of a graph is an equivalence relation, not because the union-find is a graph-related concept. It isn't, and there is no coherent way to apply graph-theoretical concepts to it.

Putting things another way:

You describe a union-find as something used to "efficiently answer queries about whether two nodes n₁, n₂ ∈ N are in the same connected component of [a graph]".

But you focused on the wrong part of that statement. What makes a union-find appropriate for that problem is the words "the same", not the words "connected component".
I bought my first XBox because the XBox One Series S was at one time one of the very best 4k Blu-ray players on the market at any price and also one of the less expensive ones. The fact it could also play games was merely a bonus to me at the time.
Also going back to hotels. I've enjoyed staying at AirBnB rentals, but more and more I get the feeling that I'm just a pest who is supposed to help pay the mortgage on their investment property. The notes and manuals left by hosts can be off-putting, and the last place we stayed at looked like a bad flip-job with minimal furniture.

You're obviously just unaware of what I'm talking about. Which isn't too surprising as they're not blasting it all over the news.

> Classic scam where they charge you then ship something to your zip code

More commonly, they just somehow have access to a list of packages shipped recently and provide a tracking number that shows as shipped to your zip code.

Yes, yes it was the smear that doxed him and misrepresented his writings in an egregious manner. I had forgotten about that incident, but F the NYT and anyone repeating Cade Metz' lies.

Fair, unless you had to fight your boss to get to success.
Unfortunately, vaccinating everyone is not actually zero risk. A small proportion of people who recieve the oral polio vaccine develop vaccine-associated paralytic polio which is exactly what it sounds like - full-on paralytic polio caused by receiving the vaccine. It's a rare complication, somewhere around one in a million, but back when polio had been eradicated in most of the world it was the main cause of paralytic polio. So we'd really like to fully eradicate polio and then stop using that vaccine.

This is made harder by another similar but subtly different problem - circulating vaccine-derived polioviruses. They come from the oral vaccine too, but instead of affecting vaccinated people they spread amongst the unvaccinated population and evolve to regain the virulence and high rate of paralyzation of wild polio. It's one of those viruses that was found in New York. This poses a problem for eradicating polio and stopping vaccination, because once you're no longer vaccinating people they can catch and spread the virus from the oral vaccine and it can evolve into something dangerous. The current VDPV problem traces back to an attempt to finally finish eradicating the type 2 poliovirus, which no longer exists in its wild form, by removing it from the oral vaccine and stamping out any subsequent VDPV spread. This failed badly.

Major Security Vulnerability on PrestaShop Websites

I’ve been slowly trying to de-amazon my life, even more aggressively than trying to de-google (which is easy once you accept that search result quality is still good elsewhere). I got a Shoprunner account and Walmart plus from AMEX and recently started using it. I also found that VISA gets you a shipt account.

Shoprunner let’s you buy direct from brand with 2 day shipping, so you don’t need to lose that benefit, while avoid “mass marketplace” mis-incentives of amazon like fake products. It has the benefit of being good on clothing, which amazon was never a great destination for.

I haven’t used the Walmart “prime-equivilent” benefit, but it seems pretty comparable to amazon prime but at a retailer that has quality control (of some basic level). I’m just not much of a Walmart user.

Shipt gets you “Same day” delivery from stores like target, which is a good counter to the growing same day delivery amazon has been rolling out. I found that its way worse than amazon though, since Shipt is “gig workers” and doesn’t connect to the store’s inventory very well, so you never really know if your order will be fulfilled in full. I use this for last-minute target orders when I don’t have time to visit the store.

Shopify is rolling out a bunch of competing features, but the most useful one is that they’ll provide a single app to track your purchases, which means you don’t need 20 apps on your phone for each retailer just to track that one package a month you order (or more if that’s you).

Oh and now you have a bunch of accounts that you have to give your data to and hope they don’t get breached.

TLDR: It’s really hard to de-amazon if you’re a regular and hooked on the convenience BUT capitalism at work is providing alternatives slowly…
Yes, a ban would mean you'd be a criminal by mere possession, while restrictions means you have to jump through lots of hoops in order to not be a criminal. You can legally conceal carry a gun in Chicago. And based on my conversations with several members of law enforcement as well as a few notable cases of self defense, you probably won't be charged if you have a strong self defense case, even if you happen to be unintentionally breaking a law. Such as the woman that shot a man trying to rob/rape her while she was waiting for the bus. She would have been carrying illegally by virtue of using public transit, but no charges were pressed.
When I saw the article I thought exactly the same thing. I had to check the Kaiser app, but apparently I have had 4 polio shots as a child.

I don't have the smallpox vaccine though. I know my mom has a big scar on the inside of her arm from that one, so I am pretty sure they've phased that one out.
>You have to evaluate if a product is worth counterfeiting.

this does not seem to be worthwhile for someone wanting to purchase something, my estimates as to if something is worth counterfeiting requires me to have a rather deep understanding of the brand's importance in the world that I would not have for any but the most notable brands, aside from that I have to know something about how easy/costly it is to counterfeit and get things on Amazon to make a model in my mind if the brand was important enough for someone to fake it.

So, for example, if it becomes significantly cheaper to counterfeit things the importance of brands counterfeited (in consumer reach etc.) should drop.

That's a lot of variables. Think I'll just go to the store.

Sid #1 was someone that worked with Rob's dad, IIRC. Not from the investors. He continued to come around for a long while. It was amusing to me watching Chad (CTO hired after the eng founders left) take meetings with the guy.

During the period between Rob's CEO tenures he and Sid #1 built a Google Analytics alternative together, which was in fact written in C. We very narrowly avoided acquiring this company.
I really hate PayPal, for close to the full 20 years.

I still use them mainly because of eBay. I know that's but required now, but it was until pretty recently.

It's still often easier to use the PayPal checkout instead of making a one-off account at a random place.

Probably not worth it as a whole, but feels worth it sometimes to delay my cancellation a while.
The Scientist Who Killed Millions and Saved Billions
This argument kinda reminds me of this bit of sophistry (a nod to Ted Gioia for his "word of the year"):

[Troper] X is up exponentially!

[Engineer] Actually, it's only up 25%.

[Troper] Whatever. You're minimizing the importance of X!

So the sophistry is to make a ridiculous claim to get attention, and then when you're called on it, back away and say the number doesn't matter -- it's still important.

In case it was ambiguous: yes, I did know the word, but no, it hasn't been used much lately, more's the pity.
Are you saying the problem is that we can't stop vaccinating for polio even if this normal type polio is gone? Because if we do stop vaccinating there is a risk of subtype 2 spreading. This looks like not a big problem. And it can be solved by making a beter vaccine(?)

You can't eradicate polio (the virus, not the disease) by doing that though, IPV (Inactivated Polio Vaccine), even the enhanced version, can't produce gut immunity to the level required to stop transmission even with a 100% vaccination rate.

I've had a look to see what's in the Bodleian and the British Library from there, but it doesn't look like 1978 is online. Post-1998 is on LexisNexis, and the BL's (paid) online service has up to 1950, but there's a gap in the middle. You could almost certainly go and read it in the BL reading room in London, though: their print/microfilm coverage of British newspapers is very good.
Objectifying Task Creation in FreeRTOS
I’m actually not sure that’s a safe assumption. I could be wrong but I believe Amazon co-mingles products of the same SKU. So if Amazon is selling a book and other sellers have listed the same item as “new” and sent it to Amazon’s warehouse I don’t believe there is any distinction between the two at the warehouse. So the stock picker might grab Amazon’s (presumably authentic) item from the bin when they pack your order but there’s also a chance they’ll grab the third-party-seller “shipped by Amazon” item. My understanding is that it’s all kind of a crapshoot no matter how careful & deliberate you are when ordering.

We absolutely need some consumer protections for things like this, but at the end of the day it takes some smart choices by the consumer. Sometimes those smart choices are to not make a purchase for that type of product, or compromise on design for reputability, etc.

Keep in mind that while Amazon is the white whale here, this absolutely happens at pretty much any retailer that has moved to an online store where they list more than any individual store has inventory of. I hate supporting Amazon, but personally Best Buy is the lesser of two evils, and at least there I can return in store.
