Quite amazing that this great book is just sitting there on Burris' website. I came across it when researching Burris after being very impressed by his book "Logic for Mathematics and Computer Science", which is a great introductory text to logic, even covering syllogisms, equational logic and algorithmic aspects like term rewriting and Knuth-Bendix. It also has lots of interesting historical remarks. Unfortunately it is out of print, but I got it used for £17 including shipping (also, libgen ...).
Interesting - no extra cost to use the feature.
There seems to have been only one study, which is what is cited by everyone. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s002840010132

The study only looked at houseflies and as long as you're two meters away from the zapper, the danger is very low. You probably don't want the zapper on your patio but if it's in a part of the yard where people aren't close by, it's probably ok.
The cars already produce 4-5 G when braking and in higher speed corners.
My thought exactly. Far more dangerous is to allow them to inject it into your veins rather than fling it through the air.
It's mostly the same sort of handwaving though, which I still don't understand.

"anyone who has at least a rack full of Dell/HPE hardware"

Big enterprise and government customers want white glove support, 10+ year continuity, ISV certification for their hardware. They will pay a premium, but they expect a premium and not in reimagined firmware, but really support. I can't see how Oxide could compete there or why it would want to.

"If Oxide computers had existed when I was working on sorting out the infrastructure for in-country domestic payments at Visa, I'd have lobbied pretty hard to adopt them. Assembling basically the same thing from a bunch of random vendors and terribly integrated software was an infuriating, expensive process that only achieved great results because we invested the time and money into it that I'd have rather budget allocated to writing core payments & settlement applications."

I'm not doubting this person's story, but perhaps he doesn't know exactly what Oxide would give either. This kind of thing is exactly what you can write a check to Dell or HPE for and they've already assembled those things with their boxes and their hardware partners they've got the firmware and software working, and the solution is all certified by SAP and Oracle and Microsoft and whoever else.

But Visa didn't go that way, they instead paid the premium for experts on staff or contracted to do more of it in house. And they got a great result.

Between the two, I'm having a hard time seeing where Oxide would fit. Pay a premium for the hardware solution and for the in house IT team?
External monitor handling is one area my Linux Thinkpad works smoother than my work Macbook Pro.

Google doesn’t let devs store IP on their workstations except in very rare circumstances (per this thread and the BeyondCorp papers), and in those rare circumstances I’m willing to bet you either don’t have root or there’s way more auditing turned on.

Most bigcos are the same way, there’s a way to get root but there’s also security software or policies to counteract damage you could do. With most hardcore “zero-trust” setups you consider a device’s posture based on its current state and don’t take into account whether or not the user has admin rights (what do you care how what rights they used to install bad software, you just care that they installed bad software). No admin rights typically means nobody has time to do something better for end users or there’s a regulatory requirement (at the same time, bigcos can throw a sandboxed VM up in their data center that can’t access PII if devs need more access).

Maybe not all religions are created equal; even if it's all made-up, the idea of a benevolent-if-aloof God who wants us to act in each other's best interest seems a little less toxic than losing 50 pounds in all the right places in order to gain approval for having the perfect bikini body.
I could be wrong, but I don't think Applied Intuition and Polymath have the same product or business plan. Applied Intuition has a high-fidelity simulator as the main product, Polymath has actual autonomy stack (hardware and software for real world robot) as the product with a low fidelity simulator that gives devs a playground before actually deploying it on a real robot. You can problem train your ML algorithms using the synthetic data from Applied Intuition but Polymath simulator doesn't serve that purpose - they are using real-world data to develop their autonomy stack.

My name is Andrew, and I am a front-end web developer, experienced in building web applications with a number of different toolsets. I have been writing code for over two decades, and am looking for an engineering-focused organization that wants to deliver quality products.

When I am not building full-stack applications myself, I work smoothly with back-end developers and operations engineers to deploy high-quality code in a reliable and repeatable manner.

Can't speak to exactly why they didn't have it, but it was not a deliberate decision ("It's my uniform," said Master Cpl. Perry Morrow. "I'd rather wear this than no clothes at all.") from a relevant CBC article at the time about it(1))

For years afterwards whenever there was a discussion about equipment and supporting troops, it was brought up as an argument in favour of more purchases.

The honest answer to this question is most hobbies. Most hobbies are not inherently difficult or even require you to be an adult. Piano, violin, most sports, drawing, painting, etc, making games and of course coding.
Best way not to be seen is to be lying prone in good cover. Ideally none of your uniform is visible to your targets, even if it was bright orange.

Think - positioning rather than magic fabric. That's my interpretation anyway.
Nope. I see what you're getting at, though. Would be nice to have a "Download/Print all tabs" option a la "Bookmark all tabs."
We already have that structure. It's called "court". And if you think it's not working well, I would agree with you. But neither will the other bureaucracy you are proposing, because neither really care about any of low income people who can't even pay for the phone service.

But let's put aside the efficacy of said institution, and presume it's working very well. They got call from some Joe. He claims that certain email address belongs to him, but can't prove it. Forgot password, no access to phone. What this customer service of yours going to do? Let's imagine they can order Google to give the guy access to account. Is that a right thing to do? What if that email belongs to a journalist or a whistleblower and you just gave access to it to a Russian intelligence? Remember, benefits are one thing, but it's not the only thing for which email is used.

And if it really comes down to this, why is Google under obligation to provide emails for government use? Government can provide email access to everyone who needs it. If they require email in order to access benefits, well go ahead and set up necessary infrastructure. Why Google had to do it? Google provides service on as-is basis. If that service level is unacceptable for government use, well newsflash: it's not the only provider.

Google used to actually have a handful of native applications on linux. I remember uploading to google play music with a linux client (not web) and stuff like google drive were "promised" or something like that.

It was all really short lived though. I remember that uploader broke fairly quickly as, of course, some abi change in some library dep and of course there was never another release.

It's not really what's missing... it's just google's 'here today, gone tomorrow'. They really shouldn't be called engineers.

There are plenty of market theories that claim that in the long run decisions will converge towards an optimum.

In practice, this is a tautology. People pay for inefficiencies, but inefficiencies are defined as what lose money. You didn't say anything, you just diluted a (wrong) theory to make it correct and as a result don't have a theory anymore, just a rhetorical trick.
But why does capped compensation help? The issue is not that people are highly paid, but that undeserving, corrupt, and even fraudulent people are highly paid. Capped compensation may well be a good idea (not sure), but it doesn't really help with corruption and incompetence. The point is that there are already double standards that apply to the average worker, but less so to the C-suite (particularly in startups).

I don't think it would be accurate to consider my anger over the CEO who awarded themselves a $25M bonus while laying off hundreds of my colleagues and tanking the company to be "jealousy".

Edit: I apologize for the aggressive tone in the original reply, though I disagree with your take it wasn't necessary.
The world moves faster than experts write books. The US has an important election coming up in a few months. Regardless of which part of the political spectrum a person is on there are issues most will care about a great deal that will be extremely impacted by the outcomes of the elections. Issues that are way too recent to get coverage in books written by experts.

Like it or not, engagement with civic society requires a person to be more current on what is going on in their towns, state and country than a book publishing schedule allows.

Besides, there's a lot of room in between experts' books and passively consuming whatever the top headlines are on any given day. You don't have to choose between infotainment news & a complete vacuum of knowledge about current affairs.
> All the kids that I knew who did this have grown up to be completely normal adults.

Some kids did this and didn't grow up, because someone in their online community committed suicide and that prompted them to do the same.

This is a real problem. It's been a problem since the 90s, yes, but it's getting worse.

Prosecution takes time to build a solid case.

The absence of news of prosecution does not necessarily mean an absence of prosecution. There are lots of reasons why you wouldn’t announce an ongoing investigation.
It's also pretty hard to measure the performance of software engineers at the senior level. When hiring, I don't feel like it's wrong to encourage good software engineers to refer former colleagues they think are good.

I don't see why that would be wrong for C-level executive jobs either. It's really the same thing -- trusting the opinion of people you know and think are good is a better bet than drinking from a fire hose of job applicants of widely varying quality.

At any job where your purpose is "leadership" and "impact" it is difficult to quantify success. People have tried to measure with things like OKRs, but ultimately a lot of what successful senior people bring to the table is hard to measure.
I mean, no, it's not really at all odd that a phrase that raised niche and context-specific objections for years got its first objection publicised well enough for you to be aware of it when it involved a forensic examination of Supreme Court appointee's interview statements, and not some other people making less scrutinised remarks that weren't also allegedly evading upholding Obergefell as settled precedent. It's also perfectly reasonable to think this might be a little unfair on said jurist who had little reason to have traced the history of the uses of "sexual preference".

What is novel is your insistence that it makes more sense to assume dictionaries conspiring against conservative jurists are a more logical explanation for Merriam Webster adding an advisory warning to a definition other authoritative style guides cautioned about in 1991, 2003, and 2013 than it was headline news today, and lots of people asked so we looked into it. Some might say making a change three decades after others wasn't that rapid...
Not really. If a company from a fundamentally different economic framework were to become dominant in core industries it would be banned.
It’s not baffling at all. That’s what kept them alive.

In Japan the Famicom was open, and it got flooded with junk like the Atari 2600 did. This threatened the same problems as Atari ran into.

The Famicom Disk System relied on a strange copyright check on the physical disks to make them harder to pirate. It worked better than nothing, but not perfectly.

The NES came out after the disk system but before the first mapper chips (which Nintendo controlled tightly for a few years) in 1985. By that time they had been through the problems in Japan and seeing what happened in America with the Atari crash

Nintendo, rightly, knew they couldn’t let it happen again in America. They needed to show their console wouldn’t be full of complete trash, so they used the lockout chip to ensure all publishers had to through them.

It’s a big part of why they were successful and able to reinvigorate the US market. It worked until the chip was cracked later in the console’s lifecycle. But by then the threat passed, the NES was safely ensconced.

They’ve never forgotten that lesson.

I have started planting local fruit trees with an aim to plant 120,000 local fruit trees in the next 3-5 years. Currently I have reached 3000 in the last 5 months, with another 1000 in polybags.

Leaving programming after 25 years of it, I wanted to do something that will help world be a better place even after I am gone. Trees have always appealed to me. Hence local fruit trees -- sell fruits to run farm once fruiting happens in a few years. Local plants are localized to climatic and soil conditions of the area thereby requiring the least nutrition, water and care.

Its going to be a bit slow from here for few reasons, I have to learn to grow saplings faster and out of season, make fertilizer year round and figure out how to ensure plants are growing. I have figured out some of it, but financial resource crunch will hit me in next 6-8 months. So now trying to come up with ways to handle that.

Help in any of the above is extremely welcome. Does anyone feel social impact funds will want to look at me?
It is not a paradox but it can be irrational. When the two choices have similar utility the cost of distinguishing them is high and the benefit of making the correct choice is low. There is a crossover point where it does not matter which option you choose, putting more effort into your decision can only leave you worse off, and this article claims we tend to continue putting in the effort well past that point.
iOS focus mode added recently is a godsend!
That happens sometimes. Many times, the variance in launching a small company is so high that the risk premium and payoff for challenging the inefficiencies has a negative expected value.
That's quite an old article; it'd appear to be more like 9000/year as of 2016, of a a total of 13,000.
> The other OS functionality is totally unnecessary for MacOS or probably even Apple tools their store/repair techs use.

Both of those statements are probably true, but it's not the same for hardware calibration/testing from the factory. It totally makes sense that Apple would add this as a convenient way to use a single testing image for multiple Macs, or as an entrypoint for Microsoft to start supporting Bootcamp. Hell, maybe it was a mistake and they're too embarassed to admit. Apple doesn't have that kind of dialogue with their community though, so we don't know. Until they release a statement acknowledging that they made this change for Asahi, nobody can say they're "helping" with any certainty.

> Surely allowing the other OS functionality is at least a tiny security weakness because it makes it easier to get a foothold to attack from.

Not really? You should go check out the boot flow on the link in this thread, I can't really conceive of any way that an attacker could abuse that process. Sure you might be able to boot malicious software, but you're not going to get it to persist (certainly not in MacOS), and it can't really read any sensitive information since your APFS volume is still encrypted. There's effectively no security tradeoff to their implementation, particularly for MacOS users.

> I just have a hard time seeing any reason any of this exists unless they purposefully chose to allow it. It’s can’t be happenstance.

I agree. I just don't think it was done for Asahi, and it certainly doesn't seem like deliberate help.
On the other hand, this is a green light for other companies to pull shady tricks to reach market dominance, knowing they will only get a slap on the wrist if caught, while benefiting massively from the position their fraud afforded them.
Well that just places it second or third, not last!

Your last line of defence is not being killed if you've been penetrated - your medical kit!
That's good to hear, at least, and it made me look deeper. It's not your standard SSD, but it is replaceable, with caveats. In particular, don't expect your SSD to boot in someone else's Mac unless you wipe it.

Still, this a much more palatable proposition than soldered-in storage. Just be sure you get the RAM you need, because there's no upgrading it.

Again, from the same article:

> And these advances by PNNL and ORNL have reduced the cost by a factor of four in just five years. But it’s still over $200/lb of U3O8, twice as much as it needs to be to replace mining uranium ore.

> Fortunately, the cost of uranium is a small percentage of the cost of nuclear fuel, which is itself a small percentage of the cost of nuclear power. Over the last twenty years, uranium spot prices have varied between $10 and $120/lb of U3O8, mainly from changes in the availability of weapons-grade uranium to blend down to make reactor fuel.

> So as the cost of extracting U from seawater falls to below $100/lb, it will become a commercially viable alternative to mining new uranium ore. But even at $200/lb of U3O8, it doesn’t add more than a small fraction of a cent per kWh to the cost of nuclear power.

This is technology that actually has a demonstrated cost. Moreover it doesn't need to get cheaper at scale since raw extraction is such a small portion of nuclear power's cost. It's not like synthetic methane or hydrogen storage where it's all white papers promising cheap cost, but not actually delivering any storage systems at that cost.

I described it that way because I live in Japan and recognized the similarities :). Outright violent crime is very rare here, but there are a lot of scams.
Even though I think some people are jealous there are plenty of legitimate reasons to be mad. Often highly paid people are where they are due to nepotistic inertia. It's extra infuriating because they all pretend it's merit, and those that admit there's a broken system that enables their wealth ignore any personal responsibility for it's existence. Everyone else is working the system after all, don't want to be left behind. In general many (most?) highly paid people are in that position because of a system of exploitation that they're tacitly involved in and turn a blind eye to. So yeah, plenty of reasons to be mad.

We push newsletters because nobody uses bookmarks or RSS anymore. You have to send users a reminder that there's new content on your website they should check out. But even then, you're competing against the pull of bottomless social media feeds, or mobile apps that ping you with notifications several times a day, like news apps.

In practice, bad newsletters read like auto-generated blog feeds: summary of content, click link to see whole article. Good newsletters put the bulk of the content right there in the email, but their business model is less about getting you to go the website, and more about shoving "sponsored content" into the body of the email itself.
