My point is that it's about political weight, and in that regard Germany is still a long shot from where it was the 19th century. Political power comes into play in two ways: one, the research being done in the US is truly excellent, but secondly, research done outside the US is arguably being underrated. Looking at Germany again, a lot of the cutting-edge work is being done outside universities in places like Max Planck Institutes, which would arguably deserve to be high up in any global ranking. In reality, however, they're not even included in most rankings (eg US News, THE, QS, ARWU) because they don't fit into the university-centric model of how research is being done in the US.

The point is simple: if you can impose your standards on others of what it means to excel in any discipline (and that's what I mean by political power), you're much more likely to come out on top in any comparison. And then you can harvest a lot of objective benefits as well from the best people wanting to move to the places that come out on top.
OOE doesn't necessarily save you if you end up with a hard dependency on the value of the read (and even if it did, the little cores on ARM SoCs are in-order). This is a pretty obvious candidate for macro-op fusion, but I'm not sure whether this actually happens (and if it happens on ARM little cores, etc.)

Salesforce made 4.34B in gross profit in 2021, they aren't hurting for money and the "health of the business" seems perfectly fine. I'm sure someone got a raise for cutting this program, it will save the company some money in the short term, and that person will have left to screw up another company before the chickens come home to roost. It's a tale as old as time and something we've seen enough times to notice the signs.

GC is inherently harder. It has nothing to do with expectations.

You have all the proof burden of using malloc (total size of live objects must fit in memory and WCET of allocation can’t suck) plus the additional proof burden that the collector’s cycle is schedulable.
Indeed, the fact that you can't export your data is my biggest gripe with fitness trackers. Maybe there's something you can do to "launder" the data through google fit, and maybe find a way to pull it out that way, but I haven't found one yet.

The weirdest part of it all is I see censorship, gaslighting when you bring up contraception possibly having impact on fertility. All discourse around it is stopped. We can't even question it. But we do know that contraception in developed countries were pushed heavily and is it concidence that in countries that don't have access to it have unchanged birth rates?

Even without evidence of contraceptions impact on fertility, when you repeatedly disrupt a natural process such as through abortion, is it any surprise that most development countries have dwindling birth rates? Is it a surprise that a country like South Korea with high abortion rate have the lowest birth rate?

Correlation may not mean causation but the probability is high. What doesn't help is that we censor/cancel people for even mentioning that abortion/contraception have unknown impact on fertility and we are left guessing what else it could be: plastic? air pollution? marijuana? All of these have been without previous generation but what was absent then compared to today was the ready availability of contraceptives/abortion.

Women have more power and independence than anytime in history, they can have a career, they can be sexually active, they can abort their fetus or put in their body all sorts of ways to prevent pregnancy. Is it any surprise that they are now finding it difficult to conceive?
Has that been confirmed? Electrek is essentially Tesla propaganda and O’Dowd denied the claims, but I haven’t seen independent confirmation of whether the test was valid.
I also dislike rooms arranged in the 'theatre' style, but my family does like to watch television occasionally. We have a small television cart that we can roll around. It not only lets us put it aside when we're not watching anything, but it can move between rooms. It is actually a computer monitor + speakers + computer + webcam, and we also use it for video conferencing.
Wow, is this article seriously going to ignore free time and responsibility?

Of course it was easy to make friends in college, because you had a light schedule that allowed leisure time and to actually do something with spontaneous events. It seems the author also ignores the recent research that shows that shared context is a huge contributor to building friendships, which college provides. And of course if you worked and went to school, you had very little time to build meaningful friendships.

Once you have a house, you have home maintenence. Once you have a job, you have as much or more work than in college. Your coworkers are likely to have families... not so much in college. Those coworkers and their family schedules are not going to be as similar as two college students.

Even removing commutes entirely, doesn't provide much additional leisure time to build friendships if you have a house, family, etc to be responsible for.
Yeah, this drove me nuts looking for it, but then I remembered car was in a wreck and I think hood was replaced, no sticker. Manual only says contact qualified service technician. I'm pretty sure it's R1234yf, but still would think it should be something to easily find online.
Maximum security settings have only 1 morally defendable meaning - we have no business checking what user do, and respect this all the time.

For example maximum security settings could include malware protection which might include application profiling, which would require logging application and therefore user activity. It just depends how you look at it.
With the port mapping that FTP entails?

You'd need a k8s aware FTP service that creates load balanced ports on demand.

Which sounds like it could get thorny and complicated compared to a pair of AWS EC2 instances over an S3 filesystem (Or use AWS's hosted FTP service?)
i think it does!
but the more background on you have, the easier to happen…
> Most of what you've described are things that only your phone knows.

Not when your call list is automatically synced to the cloud (default settings), and all the BigTech reset your settings to default whenever you update to get more of your personal data.

> Secondly there is some naivety about using an Apple phone and believing that you're not sharing functonality-essential data with the manufacturer and author of the operating system.

That's exactly what I am complaining about - people like you think that is ok and normal, many of us don't and so we vocally complain out loud. My phone runs Sailfish OS, and I don't have to worry about these kind of bullshit with it.

> you would be aware that by buying an Apple device and using Apple-fed services that you are in some way engaging in some kind of relationship with Apple.

Making a voice or video call through a third-party app has nothing to do with Apple. Buying an Apple device doesn't imply that we have to accept servitude or an abusive one sided relationship with Apple, as most of you are proposing that we accept blindly.

> Moral questions come about when you engage in a relationship with one tech company, only for that company to start on-selling your data through a variety of products based on your use of the device.

And you are naive to believe Apple has not started doing that. As more and more regulation appear around the world that force Apple to open up their device, you will find Apple becoming more and more abusive with their user's data.
Sorry, this is completely off topic. Why aren't you using capital letters? I've seen this trend starting to gain more traction and it makes no sense to me.
You never ever shutter services in the Enterprise world if you can avoid it. So you turn off the free ones, eventually turn off the "spin up for new customers" feature, and support the existing as long as you think you need to.

The whole point of Enterprise is to keep it running forever so they keep paying without having to think about it.
Help me out then. Because as far as I'm aware, the baseline assertion is that fully self driving cars are safer than humans behind the wheel. to REFUTE that you don't just say "look at this one example" because the assertion was never "They will never crash and nothing bad will ever happen" It was "self driving cars are safer than humans"

So:

How do humans do?

How do self driving cars do?

And there's plenty we can talk about here.

Scatter shot examples of failure are not it.
We offer an all-in-one privacy app. The extension/app generates the addresses and autofills them into email forms, and so you need the extension/app for those key parts of the functionality. Once signed up you can use it somewhat though without the extension/app by giving out your personal duck address directly, and trackers will be stripped from messages sent to it and then forwarded to your regular inbox.

That said, we may indeed offer sign up outside the app/extension, but right now as a forwarding service, we are very sensitive to abuse of the system and so limiting it a bit helps to ensure we are on top of any abuse that doesn't bring down the whole system.

Yeah, looking for the simplest biological explanation, shortcirtuiting having to recognize life, is incredibly demeaning. Reminds me of the whole "babies/animals can't feel pain" thing. Sure, they act like they're hurt, but how do we know that's not just triggered responses to stimuli? FFS.

This.

And the analysis (good and bad) is the movement. It's great that they're encouraging people to donate money, and have goals in doing so, but that idea's been around since ancient times. (And they're far the first people to apply utilitarian frameworks or RCTs to philanthropy either, so it's really the detail that's novel)

And since the movement set itself up with the goal of debating the effectiveness of altruistic interventions (including explicit suggestions that others weren't doing altruism effectively), it seems ludicrously antithetical to that objective to shield it from criticism by telling us to shut up about the bits we think are ineffective and go away and give 10% of our own income instead.

(Apart from anything else, 10% of the average sceptic's lifetime income probably isn't worth nearly as much in QALY as a throwaway comment convincing a single SV billionaire with exit money to spend on the future of humanity that they might be better off listening to boring old aid agencies that don't even do RCTs, rather than being seduced by arguments in favour of donating to a more EA-approved cause like the nonprofit marketing wing of OpenAI Inc)
They spec cheap insulation and whatnot because after every party that they're legally required to do business (a dozen item long list of licensed trades and government entities) with gets their pound of flesh that's all there's money left for.
It's possible, though that doesn't really apply to a company who made $4.34B in gross profit in 2021. I'm sure they will save some money but by making this move they are signalling (intentionally or not) that Heroku is on life support and they don't care about developers anymore.
Are you saying Spanish people aren’t white?
I don't think it's just orgs, as there are a lot of engineers that seem to have bought into the `k8s == awesome` mentality. I like Kubernetes and I think it has a lot to recommend it, but it's not a single silver bullet for all problems.
The business case seems pretty obvious: They're using this as a way of getting people to install a browser extension / app, and changing their default search engine. A search user is valuable, which makes customer acquisition expensive. This also makes their extension way more sticky.

Just because you're a product doesn't mean the service is not sustainable. It should be very easy for them to figure out whether the feature is profitable or not compared to other acquisition methods.
I would take this a step further to say that an extremely high % (like 95%) of organizations using k8s do not need it and would be much better off not using it.
Eh,the word wasn't misspelled, it was the wrong word.
It’s actually related. While the system itself may be broken the healthcare, when available, is second to none in the world.

This, once again, owing to the exorbitant amount of money spent on healthcare both by the public and the government. A lot of people seem surprised that our government spends way more money on healthcare than a lot of other countries and yet the system disenfranchises the vast majority of its consumers.

In fact, US citizens subsidize the healthcare of other countries as well. The money we are forced to spend on absurd medicine costs goes directly into making it cheaper in other parts of the globe. The standard for treatment and care is decided in the US at the expense of her citizens, and then it is offloaded to the rest of the world where it becomes cheap. Doctors from other parts of the world go to medical school in the US, once again subsidized by citizens, and then go home and take that knowledge with them. If other countries paid their “fair share” it would likely result in total medical costs going down in the US.

If you need a pill, go to another country. If you need treatment for an extremely rare disease there is no better place than the US (supposing you can afford it). This isn’t so much a complaint despite myself being a victim of the system, but rather the reality of it. America subsidizes the cheap healthcare of the rest of the world. This is why, on a practical level, a system on par with Europe in the US is fiscally intractable. To both subsidize the world and continue to lead the standard of treatment and care, the taxpayer would be on the hook for an absurd amount of money. I’ve yet to see an accurate tax burden calculation but I’d imagine it would be several dozen trillion a year, or around a flat 800-1000% increase in current taxes along with trimming the budgetary fat.
Another happy Kagi customer here.

As a data scientist, just being able to block Towards Data Science and other garbage DS content churned out by amateurs to get their resumes boosted is well, well worth it. It's ridiculous how much top ranking content on Google is flat out technically incorrect, or at least clearly misunderstanding the subject.

Kubernetes appears to be continuing to increase in popularity despite a large number of these failure stories. Does anybody know why? What does kubernetes do that docker, AWS, Nomad, et al don't? And, if I'm stuck with kubernetes, is there an accepted "right way" to do kubernetes that will keep me from becoming a cautionary tale?
I prefer it, did not even notice the change until I saw it called out elsewhere online… relativity confirmed… again!
E-bike then. I can get anywhere in a 2 mile radius in Seattle faster with my e-bike than with my car, and I always get a prime parking spot right outside where I’m going.

> a middle class segment who thinks that charities are best when they're about going to parties, expressing yourself, being thanked, and pushing periodic press releases to raise awareness

Isn't it a bit ironic then that so much of the criticism of EA has to do with these very activities? There is a legitimate role for awareness raising, as long as it's not consuming huge amounts of valuable resources.

> push for effective alleviation of hunger, or effective relief of homelessness, or taking effective care of refugees or immigrants.

This is exactly what EA's are doing. But picking the most viable cause areas is also important. Some incredibly popular causes, e.g. short-term disaster relief in foreign countries, really are a lot less viable than what EA's typically fund.
The free plan probably brought 90% of their customers, watch them bring it back after few months
I'm anti car too... but your argument about maintenance/tax money is heavily flawed. Both systems need government assistance. Also heavier vehicles pay a significantly larger portion in registration for this reason.
im sorry to tell you but this take is simply ignoring the fact the amount of restuaurants you can walk to increases with the square of the density.
Ford is practically half-government at this point. Thinks like CARB and the Chicken Tax are their bread and butter for survival. Regulatory capture and barriers make cost to new entrants sky high. During recessions they rely on government for bail-out.
If you have a long memory you'll know this is Twitter coming full circle. Before changing their name to Twitter they were Odeo, a podcast platform: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odeo
Yep exactly. The average American is most certainly not obsessed with race.
100% agreed with this. Having fewer customers using the free tier in 2022 would make it cheaper to run.

It's the stagnation and the realization that they can't compete that's pushing them to sell based on their brand instead of their merit. "Life support" is one way of phrasing that. The other might be "bleeding the tech dry".
>hire black people to take a photo for an "upcoming action movie" called evil baby. They will be asked to hold guns aiming it at a crib.

As a side note, I'd watch that. I imagine the next scene shows a bloody room and a baby escaping.
Fair question. But the points Electrek put forward seem pretty reasonable. FSD needs maps to operate, the tests were done on a private field, so the FSD stays off.

I'm currently taking these propositions as true, but if they're false then it's one word against another.

I remain curious, what exactly is happening here?
You may want to look carefully at the motives of some of those 1950s and 1960s planners. The phrases "White Flight," "Redlining," "Blockbusting," "Steering" would be a good place to begin.
We compiled a library of realistic engineering take-home tests and ranked them
Studies [1] show that a work sample test is the best predictor of candidate performance on the job, which is why many software engineering teams use take-home tests as one step in their hiring process. But designing an effective test is difficult and time-consuming. For example, candidates are reluctant to complete tests that are too long or not engaging enough. But make them too short and teams won’t get the signal they need for a proper evaluation.

To encourage more thoughtful test design (and hopefully save future candidates from the worst offenders), my team compiled the largest library of non-“whiteboard” take-home tests that real engineering teams have used. You’ll find the challenges that Stripe and Microsoft gave to their full-stack candidates, front-end tests from Tailwind and Rivian, and back-end ones from Basecamp and Revolut. Whether you’re looking to evaluate an Android, DevOps, or Data Science candidate, a bootcamp grad, or senior engineer, we found a few options for each.

Having built 20+ tests ourselves, we also rated the design of each test. The criteria for a 5-star rating:

1. Tests for skills highly relevant to those required for the position

2. Includes a well-written description of the prompt and even motivation for using a take-home test

3. Sets clear expectations for candidates (e.g. time requirements, evaluation criteria, submission details)

4. Asks for a reasonable time commitment from candidates (<4 hours)

A few notes:
- We found most of these test prompts in public GitHub repos, usually owned by the hiring team but occasionally in the candidate-owned submission. We sifted through hundreds of tests and filtered out those overly focused on algorithms (aka LeetCode), leaving us with 142 tests in the library.

- The larger and more recognizable companies didn’t always have the best tests. Some of the most interesting prompts we found were from smaller teams (e.g. YC startups). This shouldn’t be surprising. Startups need to design candidate-friendly hiring experiences to compete for talent against more established players.

- There were common themes among the tests we found. For example, front-end candidates were often given a Figma design + content feed to implement, while back-end candidates had to implement an API given a set of requirements. Data scientists were usually given a data set to clean, analyze, and submit a Jupyter notebook with their findings.

- We’ll continue to update this library and add descriptions of each test so it’s easier to compare.

Have feedback, or another take-home test we should add? We’d love to hear from you!

Yeah, but not on the level of NYC, Chicago, SF, and LA (which actually has decent public transport (for the US), despite the reputation). Yes, then there are cities like Houston, but they are paying for 16-lane urban freeways, which have to at least cancel out any cost savings from not having much public transport.
I'm confused. The employers are getting more productivity, more hours worked, and lower infrastructure costs, and because of all these benefits... they're cutting employees' pay? Seems like it would be win-win for both sides to let it ride.

(I'm not actually confused. I understand this is corporate politics/greed at its finest. Make people think there's a reason to cut their pay and they will let you profit more than you already are, at their expense. And if they don't, you now have more control over their daily work life.)
