Yes I absolutely do. Do you have some examples of the opposite to share?
There are some cases where you can be invited for a voluntary interview where they haven't established enough for arrest if you refuse.

Its a somewhat confusing term, but that's what they call it.

Usually its made clear to you at the time which of those cases its going to be.

"Look, you can come in for an interview at a time that suits both of us, or we will have to go and get you at a time that suits us. Either way, you will be interviewed."
There's been an explosion of startups doing personalized health measurements. Is there one trying to figure out how to optimize aging for you?
Hey, as someone who's participated in the same competition, you got it right on the money. It's a well known joke amongst science fair students that "could pave the way to this and that" really means its kinda useless. Some of our school's projects from two years ago worked on quantum computing but didn't achieve the goals they'd hope for so our instructor just told them to sprinkle some paved the ways in their paper
It's been like that for a long time (not only for cloud computing, but any big IT infra). Power is everything. To a point, that you measure datacenters in megawatts, when you bring new HW to datacenters you most often talk about improvement in compute per watt, not absolute compute.

It's not only because of the cost of power, but also because power is something that's hard to increase in an existing datacenter - you can put in new servers easily, but putting new power lines and upgrading all the infrastructure is usually just too expensive.

It's not an anti-LGBT organization. It is an organization concerned that the police have embraced trans ideologies that don't have the support of most of the UK population. It is in many ways similar to the LGB Alliance, which has a similar position with regard to the T in LGBT. Many of its supporters are gay, including a large number of lesbian feminists who support its goals.
I recently created a Scanner Daybook from the ideas presented by the late Barbara Sher in one of her books. It's freed me to explore ideas on paper with no obligation to create the works I describe. The funny thing is that it strokes my mind and I actually get a lot of the projects done. I tend to work in an MVP fashion and create very simple things, however.
"Is America truly running out of teachers? Is there a teacher shortage?"

Maybe in some locations/subjects. My stare pays pretty well. The nicer areas have no trouble getting teachers and it can be difficult to get in there (same for private schools).

What I have seen and been told is that the places that have the worst time hiring have some combination of safety concerns, students that don't care and misbehave, and oppressive bureaucracy or policies that they don't agree with.

So in summary, there's no shortage in my opinion. There's competition to get a job in a good school. The bad schools can't seem to hire people because people don't want to work in a shithole. Same sort of thing is happening in other jobs with the great resignation/reshuffling when managers ask why they can't find candidates.
"could"
It's a tough job. Most of the teachers I know have had some phase where they got caught up in the problems of their students and came home crying. The flip side of tenure and being close to impossible to fire is that you get driven out by the working conditions.

Most people take about two years to get a teaching certificate but about half of them never teach because they discover they hate the job.

One problem is that teaching certificates are not usually portable between states. A friend of mine got a certificate in NY and moved to NV to teach, although it went badly when the school district disapproved of his politics, his apartment burned down, and he got beaten up by a cop. NY on the other hand would not accept a teaching certificate from another state.
The even more worrying underlying problem is that the ones applauding, encouraging, and continuing to vote for this madness aren’t even aware that they belong to an extreme ideology. Most would probably consider themselves sane, rational, and educated. Governments and voters in the west have locked themselves into a positive feedback loop of midwittery.

See the other replies to this comment for examples of this.
With cloud egress cost though, moving the data to a low-cost region could be expensive itself. I wonder when it would pay off.

It's because "I could probably just do it myself" (or someone gives away their work for free as a résumé portfolio piece and that becomes the de facto standard)

I don't think it's this, and I don't think programming is so hard (it's the business logic that is hard when you have to specify it exactingly, to reference the thread.) I think that the manufacturers of the various computers we use make it unbelievably difficult and scary to touch anything, and cast quite a bit of suspicion on you for even wanting to change anything.

Because the UK's elected parliament has decided that it should be.

The UK's elected parliament is free to repeal or amend the law at any time - it has chosen not to.

If this is a matter that concerns the electorate, they can ask their MP to raise the point in parliament.

No it's not, it's literally not relevant (or at least shouldn't be). You are saying a person's political beliefs are legally relevant to if they should be arrested or not.
The escalation from "swastika memes" to more substantial hate is not a big stretch either. There's been multiple threats to LGBT events in my local city lately. No tolerance for intolerance.

The carbon cycle is complex and simple half life numbers are always wrong. A lot of the carbon we emit is removed from the atmosphere relatively quickly, for example into the biosphere or into the oceans. But the only way to "permanently" get rid of it is by sequestering it into the lithosphere. These processes take geological time. Until they are complete the equilibrium concentration in the atmosphere is larger than before we burned that piece of coal. So it is relatively accurate that some of the carbon we emit stays in the atmosphere "forever".
Have we (finally) realized the dream? By basically putting the "smart" part of the compiler in the chip itself, or do we still run relatively simple ISAs?
It’s funny how the UK is already living the dystopian surveillance state nightmare that conspiracy theorists in America seem to dream of.
I think that organization is gross, Robinson is a bad human being, and the meme is disgusting, but whether or not someone should be arrested for "causing someone anxiety" is not "another debate". It's flat-out ridiculous.
The original tweet was not an insult to LGBT people in general but to a noisy fringe that is extremely intolerant and are forcing their ideology onto others. At least that's my personal interpretation.

What many people object to, for instance, are things like JK Rowling being cancelled because she dared say that women may not feel safe in toilets with men. This is the sort of things that prompted the original tweet although it is obviously a provocation (being by Laurence Fox, who is notorious in the UK).

Now, in any case, I don't believe that the original tweet or its thousands of retweets received a police response. And by and large the consensus seems to be that no crime has been committed. So the issue in this guy's case is that the police overreacted based on a single complaint, which they could have investigated simply by looking at the tweet...
People literally think that eating meat is unhealthy nowadays. While they don't restrain themselves on carbs and sugar whatsoever. Then you wonder why people are so confused and think being healthy is like winning a lottery ticket.
They don't seem to be anti-lgbt even if they disagree with your political beliefs.

They have helped defend some feminists. Again, you can disagree with their defense of those people - but that isn't exactly mustache twirling evil.

To access all the shows I watch, I would need: a cable package for the CW ($40) + a Disney+ subscription ($11 with this hike) + Netflix ($15) + HBO Max ($15) = $81/month for a handful of shows. That's the average cost of my entire power bill -- a necessary cost -- for entertainment. If they can charge $15 for access to everything on Netflix, surely they can charge much less for one or two shows that I actually want to watch (and of course, same with the other services).
> it's encouraging to me that Rust's semantics allow borrow checking to keep getting better without breaking changes

Just to be clear, these are breaking changes. If the new borrow checker didn’t break existing code, they would have removed the old one long ago. They’ve just decided that the observable effects of the breaking change in the ecosystem are small enough (especially after warning about them for years) that they are okay making the breaking change without a semver-incrementing Rust 2.0.

To be fair, the reason for the breaking changes is generally to fix soundness issues (of course, not every example of code now banned will exhibit unsoundness), but that doesn’t cover all of them. There were some completely sound (albeit useless) examples of partial initialization that broke with NLL:

Strict adherence to semver would require still accepting this code.
> grossly offensive or indecent communications

Did a judge sign off on a warrant for his arrest? If I find your post grossly offensive should you be removed from your home and sent to a police interrogation room just in case you hurt my feelings? And how would the police be able to determine that outside a court? My feelings would have to be litigated which would require my filing suit. Any suit originating from a civilian is civil in its nature and is outside the scope of police action.

In other western democracies, freedom of speech isn't paramount. What you say matters and you can be held responsible for it and the harm you cause. I'm not taking one side or the other, personally, but this is an opinion question settled by the voters.

I don't know if "misrepresentation" is the word, when the whole scenario was engineered by a pro-hate-speech activist specifically to be reported on by outlets like The Mirror.

Laws on controversial topics often have awkward corner cases, and one strategy to fight them is to force those corner cases to the surface in a way that wouldn't have happened naturally, so that they can be highlighted for discussion in sympathetic media circles.

Edit: Tangentially related, from Lawrence v Texas with another somewhat manufactured situation:

"The gay rights advocates from Lambda Legal litigating the case convinced Lawrence and Garner not to contest the charges and to plead no contest instead.[29] On November 20, Lawrence and Garner pleaded no contest to the charges and waived their right to a trial. Justice of the Peace Mike Parrott found them guilty and imposed a $100 fine and court costs of $41.25 on each defendant. When the defense attorneys realized that the fine was below the minimum required to permit them to appeal the convictions, they asked the judge to impose a higher penalty. Parrott, well aware that the attorneys intended to use the case to raise a constitutional challenge, increased it to $125 with the agreement of the prosecutor.[30]"

It's not a shadow profile, they're scraping your LinkedIn. I've gotten multiple emails to my work email from (non-Facebook) recruiters/sales people within the first week of adding my current employment to LinkedIn. They guess it's "first.last@companydomain", and most of the time that's right.

It happened that one of the times they put an unsubscribe link at the bottom, but if they didn't I just sent them to junk. (The way to market new infrastructure tooling is not to cold-email people that've worked here for a month.)
Well now... That's a whole term paper that someone would normally be paid to write...

Methods like encrypting files, creating proper storage segmentation/isolation for each individual app, ending the process of adding "bloatware" to devices, allowing for concrete disabling of cameras and microphone feature access to all apps (and also ensuring that app makers don't break app functionality when those features are disabled), eliminating in-app purchasing, ensuring that app stores clearly define app pricing and app maker credibility.

Those things are just some of the first steps that need to be taken. Educating users is not involved in those steps. The way apps are installed and operated these days is far more confusing than making changes in order to protect their privacy as a default setting.

TikTok and Facebook don't need access to cameras and phones when the apps aren't actively triggered by a user to record something... Somehow the apps require the permissions to be enabled entirely while the apps is being used.

Every company should be required to comprehensively report on what data they track and be bound to responsibility to uphold that to a government watchdog with extreme punishment for mis-use.

We also have to understand that when we speak about devices, we're not just talking about phones, we're increasingly talking about cars, thermostats, home security systems, TVs and many other consumer bought devices that give companies an infinite measure of methods on which they can wire tap consumers, and then sell that data, or even later use towards more harmful purposes like corporate espionage and extortion.

Microphones and cameras were found recently to be hidden in Televisions when consumers had no idea they were, as an example of how far info overreach has gone.

I'd recommend looking deeply into the integration and use of LIDAR on phones... Most people don't even know that/if it is a feature on their phone and on certain cars... It can be leveraged in many deeply invasive ways on individual device users if it is accessed by social media companies, or even worse if a data breach occurs.

First, They (The FTC) should hire proper consultants to properly present the issues involved (Both cynics and optimists), and not just lean on basic understanding, there are a wide range of devices and features, combined with tons of different apps and use cases for them. Resolution is not a simple issue that can be summarized within a few posts online.

The 10x multiplier from subscription to one-time is extremely underpriced for a product of this value, unless that purchase covers minor updates only.
That was not noteworthy other than it highlighted the civic attitude that leaves police feeling free to arrest for merely perceived speech violations.
Yeah, I also think is way more common in smaller companies. Also extreme toxicity around tools, editors, .... stuff like "10x engineers" only use Vim (the classic "i dont need a mouse, thats for normies"), the command line, Arch Linux, etc... In bigger companies, with talented engineer, no single engineer can claim to be the best/10x-er or any nonsense like that, because whatever he does, can also be done(and often improved) by the team. That's why I said that depends on the X. You can certainly have a 10Y engineer where Y = 1/10*X;

But they still have to decide what type each particular person is. I usually play an ignorant buyer for a bit, make them think the sale is about to go through, then walk out unless they give me deal. Buying a car doesn’t happen often so when I do it, I don’t mind spending some time to get what I want. I don’t enjoy the process, it would be nice to just order it online, but since it’s not possible gotta play the game I guess.

Seems to be a standard censorship case. Depending on your viewpoint, it's either irrelevant or highly relevant that the point of view being censored is an abhorrent view. Should the Nazis be allowed to march in Skokie? Should I be able to distribute my terrible views?

Probably the more expensive option because the mid ocean service is going to require using the intra-constellation laser links where the RV is just a roaming dish that can use the normal one hop to ground station method used in the rest of the network. /Maybe/ they'll come out with a cheaper consumer option but who knows, at any rate it will probably be more expensive than the RV version.

This is a nitpick, but the color tones chosen in the map can be very difficult to differentiate. (recall the visual puzzles when two tones separated by a 3rd tone are shown to be actually identical)

I read the map as:

-- There is full coverage around the coasts of N. America, Europe, Australia/NZ, Southern Brazil, Chile right now

-- Q4 2022 will see the whole band of 20 to 60 deg North covered, as well as 33 deg South and below

-- Q1 2023 will see the rest of the entire Earth covered

Do I have that right?

I'm also curious what physical or ground station-related developments happen to enable this? Is it related to enough satellite density to allow transmission satellite-to-satellite to land anywhere, without needing a nearby ground station any more?
