Did you have to do things like that because you were ordered to by the state, or because there was no funding to do any actual original design? Why did the industry never create anything new - presumably the Kremlin didn't actually say "don't be creative" to you and it was an emergent property of the system?
I mean you can say all you want but basically a lot of the VCs that interacted with him have no problem publicly stating that he is the best salesman they ever saw.

Money that he lost in WeWork is not coming back, but the sales talent is still there. Taking "a water under the bridge" approach isn't unreasonable if AH is genuinely convinced he is that good at selling shit to people.
While robots.txt is not a good security measure, it's a good tool for preventing pollution of search results with pages like wp_login.php. More to steer users to the subset of pages that are useful to them, away from the pages which are only an implementation detail.

Also, some poorly rate-limited crawlers actually abide by robots.txt, so it's useful to prevent unnecessary load.
Exactly, if the self-driving is good enough after some time you will reduce your attention and will not be able to quickly take over if the car suddenly fails to self-drive in a corner for example.

I think its not a coincidence, but rather they are/were all monopolies. Yes, technically there are minor competitors, but except for Deutsche Telekom, there is no serious competition. And Deutsche Telekom seriously exploits their copper network that was handed them for free with taxpayer money.
An absurd statement. If you put someone on a calorie deficit they will lose weight, period. If I work you 12 hours a day at a gruelling physical job and don’t increase the amount you eat then you will lose weight, end of story. All this faffing around about with metabolism and gut bacteria is only applicable when people have the absolute luxury of sitting all day with their only physical activity being walking to the kitchen to get another bowl of pasta. The human body was designed for long distance running and a fast/feast diet of mostly fruit and meat, of course you’re going to get fat if you don’t move and just eat pure carbs for every meal.
The other huge benefit is you're keeping your metabolism up with more frequent workouts and less sedentary days/time.

I'm no longer a Deutsche Bank customer as they were so bad, so I don't know ;-)

DHL is bad because they underpay their employees so in a large city, employees will dump their packages at the first door, very annoying if you life in a large house with many flats, you have to search for the person who took the parcel - even if you're there they will not ring the bell, just dump everything.

Deutsche Post next to me you usually wait 30+ minutes in a long line (dozens of people) with the unfriendliest employees possible, it has a 1.9 (!) rating on Google.

(I have no car) Deutsche Bahn is incompetent, trains cancelled, too late, wrong car order, non working climate control, 1st class car missing, restaurant closed and much much more.

Deutsche Telekom wouldn't activate fiber for nearly a year although everything was build and finished. Computer said no, no one wanted to come and see that everything is ready (they installed everything) because the computer was in an inconsistent state (20+ calls plus a lot of escalation worked after nearly a year of me paying 99EUR/month 5G for my remote work).
10 years of planning, 20 years of building. With 5-10 of ramp up.

Honestly it doesn't seem so bad. There just isn't political will to force decisions through and then force the invesment.

Not perfection, just no human injuries for the limited duration of the tests, that is, for a few billion km or so.

They're testing against a hypothetical user on a 2G cellular connection. I can't see many situations where that would happen. Being poor doesn't mean you can't afford 3G because every data plan in the UK includes 4G as a mimimum. Often 5G is included too. You have to be extremely rural to drop down to 2G and rural people are often better off. Poorer people tend to be in urban areas that have better digital infrastructure.

There are plenty of other industries - CCTV monitoring, pool lifeguards, pilots using autopilot, airport x-ray operators - and they all know it's incredibly hard for humans to remain vigilant for hours on end when there's no action.

I think it's pretty well known in the self-driving car industry that safety drivers do a great job if they have to intervene several times an hour. And they're good at getting the vehicle unstuck if there's e.g. a flat tyre. But for a system that only needs an intervention once a week? The safety drivers often won't react fast enough - they're just there to take the blame.

I glanced through the video list that GP linked to, and there were a number of exercises targetting the legs. You just recycled a standard assumption without really looking. Pistols, in particular, can build very powerful legs.
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, the people making the pitch have never been insulated from operations or technology. Either their egos get too big for a split to work or they actually start to believe their own bull. This is a fantasy that has never happened before, and while it would be nice, it is not real.
BMW also uses those stickers on vehicles that just collect data for BMWs autonomous driving program (they have the sensors, but not the software to actually self-drive)
I'm a big jQuery fan. Some new frameworks that do DOM binding are just too "magic". Sometimes there is close to zero js code for a page, which, while cool, means it's hard to find out what to do to add new featues when the default behaviour is not what you want.

With Jquery it seems the balance of writing code to make page active, and not writing too much code, is correct.

I guess I prefer reading code than docs.

I think you may have misread my comment.

The other replies are accepting multi-millisecond latencies as a given, and think that Google's network must be slower than even a basic copper-wired LAN because it's bigger.

My response is something like "just because the network's bigger doesn't mean it's slower".

>> You will never be able to replicate the performance of Google's network

With respect, if you're in the trading business, your network almost certainly contains custom hardware. I bet it looks a lot closer to Google's than it does to the guy plugging cat5e into a Dell.

Monkey365: Security tool for Microsoft 365 and Azure AD
Maybe there was something to be said for "digital literacy" after all; I used to think it a useless term, but skimming this report, observing a relative desert, makes me think that I grew up as a fish in water:

According to one recent source, Soviet "outlays for software did not exceed 1.5 to 2 percent of overall outlays for computer hardware."

Glushkov, a founding father of Soviet computer science and a network visionary without peer, wrote his 1979 history of Soviet computerdom without a single mention of networks.

Designers with CAD work stations faced the choice of using generally available but poorly supported subroutines or of developing their own software.

Note especially: CAD, to the extent that it fulfills its promise to optimize the use of materials, reduces the cost of the project and thus also the payment to the design organization which, therefore, has little incentive to use it. !

While the hardware requirements have slowed CAM development in the Soviet Union, the necessary organizational changes, from new job descriptions to a firm's relationship with its suppliers, are perhaps the largest barriers the Soviets will have to surmount for the successful implementation of CAM.

As of early 1987, the Soviets had not solved the problem of providing maintenance and support service to enterprises with CNC machine tools and other advanced manufacturing technology.

When, for instance, the USSR Committee of People's Control conducted a random check of robotization efficiency three years ago, the picture that was revealed staggered even the inspectors who had seen a thing or two before. The economic efficiency of implementation of 600 robots that cost over R10 million was equal to . . . R18,000 a year. And the chance to free up one worker was paid for by ... 14 robots on average!

One final finding of the Leningrad area survey merits mention. In 1983, on average, the computers of the area were out of commission 9.3 percent of a working day, of which more than half was due to technical breakdowns.
I don't think that there is a difference in terms of liability: Both UG and GmbH are limited liability companies. However, my understanding is that an UG is obligated to retain a quarter of its annual profits as reserves until it has reached the capital requirements of a GmbH, at which point it can be converted.

IMHO, UG are a fudge. They recognised that the barriers to GmbH formation are high but at the same time did not want to drop them so they created something new that allows people to start a company before being able to afford a GmbH.

This contrasts to, for instance, the UK where limited companies (Ltd) are extremely easy and cheap to create and maintain (£1 capital and about £15 cost) so that there is no need for multiple types.
3 months certainly happens, and there are horror stories of it taking much longer, but the last two times I moved it was closer to one month. And by now some providers give you a free 4G connection to your WIFI router until you get connected, so at least they realized it's an issue worth competing over.
“Autonomous miles without accident” is not the only metric. What matters is also how the algorithm fails.

To give an example. If you have autonomous miles without accident that is two times better than humans, but every accident tends to involve dark-skinned children and women, then the algorithm can have better statistical numbers in safety but still be rejected by humans.

Safety is a high dimensional problem that cannot be collapsed into one metric.
IMO the key concept is that the government does not serve most folks. It serves all folks, so it is good to be slightly conservative in terms of bandwidth.

For data maybe Android share in Europe could be a start, or people with prepaid plans. In my experience both are much more prevalent in Europe than in the US.
Yes. Maybe not at the very top (FAANG) but many smaller firms need design work done all the time. A good portfolio is key.
> Apple must treat it as a cost of business at this point.

As should every company, because it is. Not saying Apple SHOULDN'T make decent equipment, but nothing is perfect so these things just have to be part of the accounting/business plan. They clearly are relying on their customers' brand loyalty as part of that calculation, and that + cheaping out or whatever else is causing these bi-annual issues is clearly more profit than fixing them.
The level of detail is impressive. On the other hand, unlike the surface of the earth, which exhibits high variability in a large number of important characteristics, the moon’s surface is much less diverse (save for its geometry, which may be important for landers), so, what practical purpose this kind of detailed map can serve, other than being a curiosity or to show the prowess of its creators or sophistication of the technique, etc.? (It’s a genuine question, because this looks somewhat like trying to create a microscopic map of the entire surface of, say, a soccer ball.)
> These professional data center providers serve 911 and financial clients, while gcp/aws serve selfies and cat pictures. The later considers their consumers cattle for the slaughter, while these professional colo providers don’t have that conflict of interest.

It's kinda silly to suggest nothing important runs on aws/gcp, there's plenty of huge businesses running on them, with equally large legal departments ready to string amazon/google up by the balls if they breach the terms of their contracts around SLAs etc.
This is true.

Exactly. Apple has engineered their products and supply chain to make it not economically viable to do any kind of repair.

For traditional cars, as long as it's not a completely blown motor or transmission or a extensive front end collision, it's always economically viable to repair them.
The box operator is basically how Box::new operates. One of the big problems if you were to DIY it, is to prevent stack allocation of heap data. The naive approach will result in your data first having to be allocated on the stack, passed to Box::new and then moved into the heap.

The box operator allows moving the initialization of a datastructure into the heap entirely (and the compiler also auto-insert the malloc calls).

It is largely a one-trick pony that only exists to help out the standard library, nobody should be using it ever. But it is the one instance where the rust compiler will deploy an allocation on the heap without any obvious way to tell that it did that.
Can anyone recommend books on backend that are both more exhaustive and more specific than Designing Data-Intensive Applications (which seemed more like a high-level description of storage options)?
Yeah but for a limited subset of desirable functionality. It sucks to use for something where you want a dynamic UI.

Philippines orders fraud probe after paying MacBook prices for Celeron laptops
Wow, I haven’t been in school for almost 15 years, but a nightmare that I still routinely have a few times a year involves me being back in my college days and being asked to repeat all my exams (total of 60+). It’s horrible, because in the dream I am aware of how “comfy” my life is today so going back makes it even more painful. Every time I wake up in a sweat.

I graduated in computer engineering from a prestigious European institution, summa cum laude in both my bachelor and master, but boy it took a huge toll on me. Nothing I have done in my professional life ever came close to the level of stress I used to experience in college.

It must vary from person to person, because I know a few acquaintances who were in my classes who say it was a period in their life they cherish and wish they could relive. Yikes, I’ll happily stay here with my 6-figure job moving protobufs.

Can I point you to this blog post from edent, on the importance of making government websites work for everyone: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/01/the-unreasonable-effectiven...
It was a lame joke. Please accept my apologies!
Not only that, with the pace that government operates, the point around trashing the housing market, is true.

It's often years between the time a government policy is recognized as a failure and when it actually changes. At least companies go under eventually if they aren't profitable. There scale is obviously much more limited as well.

People seem to forget that NYC landlords paid people to burn down their apartment buildings due a combination of rent control and rising costs. Cheaper to just collect insurance than lose money on each unit you rent.
> I very much doubt nuclear takes less material resources.

In the case of an existing nuclear power plant it does. Because if you shut it down, the plant is still going to be there, except that it won't produce anything.

California has been building solar like crazy for the last 5 years if not more. Nobody is saying stop building solar. Nobody is even saying build nuclear. The only thing this proposal is saying is don't shut down a very large existing nuclear power plant, at least not until we get to carbon neutral.

If you are suggesting that somehow by shutting down this power plant you can get faster to net zero, then we're all very eager to hear the details.

When I did catering 15+ years ago I went to a quite a few coworking offices. It was nothing new then. Some were sterile offices and others were like WeWork and had a bartender/helpers doing things. The 2 places I remember are still around while the WeWork signs have been removed and offices closed.
'Haskell Programming from First Principles' is a great book which helped me a lot in the beginning.
Angular is using rxJs which is a reactive programming framework, but I think it was an error to do so.

The angular project I am working on is now 5 years old and the parts of the application that are the least understood are the ones with more rxJs in it. We even have custom rxJs operators that nobody understand anymore...

The way we do things now is to transform everything we can into promises because it's more easy to work with.

With promises you have a few functions with which you can do everything. With rxJs you have dozens of function with specific use cases and most of them looks alike. It's too easy to not take the right one and new peoples in the project needs to learn a lot of things to understand the codebase.

I was interviewing some angular devs aand asked the question: what is the difference between a promise and an observable and 80% of the time the answer was "for observable you need to sunscribe to get the result"). That shows a clear lack of understand of rxJs.

Anybody had a better experience with angular and rxJs?

Serious question: will we demand perfection from autonomous cars before we allow them out of “test” status?

I don't think anyone is demanding perfection, but they are quite reasonably demanding that autonomous driving doesn't cause any accidents that wouldn't have happened if a human was driving (not that this is clear from the accident in the article).

The bar issimply 'better than a person'. If a car apparently changes lane and drives into another car without the cause being clear it's not there yet.
The manual labor would be greater, yes, and that's a problem. But the original point of this thread was about dismissing the idea of Crater at scale, which is unnecessary 1) because it's an embarrassingly parallel problem, and 2) because you're probably not going to have a testable corpus larger than crates.io anyway, so the hardware resources required are not exorbitant for a company of Microsoft's means. Even if they could only cobble together 10,000 C apps to test, that's a big improvement over having zero.
you can use the search for that relatively well, turn off "typo tolerance" and "search submission text" to have less false-positives included
