And yet ICE hangs around those locations and even goes as far as to deport people they had a court order to not deport. That chilling effect would make undocumented immigrants avoid authorities unless you believe they are irrational.

I hate to be that guy but do you have a source on undocumented immigrants availing themselves of the legal system en masse in the US?

He did claim that the peak Mt. Kilimanjaro would be permanently snow-free by like 2016 and yet it is still plenty snowy on top 6 years later still.

He is a liar and also a sexual predator, but he some how escaped #MeToo.

This is interesting - do you know if it has ever been tested?
There are some with minimal sides, if you can stand going to a doctor enough times to try out and reject several.
This would return the same result since `" "` (and thus `" " + recruiter_name`) is truthy. You could use a ternary or something, though.
> Hmm. I’m not much of a speech-writer, and that felt a little bit embarrassing.

Wow. You're really not. Let me give it a go.

Bias can never be eliminated, but it can be overcome by a greater commitment: the commitment to truth. We commit to pursue the evidence wherever it leads, because we believe that the truth is of such great and ultimate benefit and significance that this overwhelms any personal or political inconvenience. We will be the first ones to say what no one in our generation wants to hear, but what the next generation will be glad we uncovered, as has been the role of so many of our forefathers, heroes in the past. Though my peers abandon me and seek to bury the inconvenient out of fear of the consequences or desire to manipulate, I will tell the truth because I trust my fellow man to always make the best decisions with the benefit of full and accurate knowledge. We will not blink, and we will not lie, and we will not allow professional ambition, personal benefit, or cherished beliefs to overpower our sacred trust as humanity's best line of defense against ignorance and lies.
This puts into very simple words my opposition to orgs like Mozilla making outreach for women, minorities and whatever else the flavour of the month is in California a part of their goals. Doubly so since they have been loosing market share every quarter for 10 years.

Stick to doing the one thing you're meant to be doing. We don't need a dozen organizations to be chasing whatever is popular right now - poorly - we need organizations that follow the course regardless of what happens.
Voltage converters are big and not that reliable at the consumer level. Putting the power supply in something replacable is a good thing. Going from 19 to 5 would be an extra conversion step.

Plus, 19v is too low. USB does 48v for the 240W mode. You could use more current, but then you are wasting copper and making connectors bigger and heavier.

I used to not be a fan of negotiation but it seems that it's highly reliable these days, stuff isn't getting fried because of incorrect voltage selection.
I’ve been using n8n and I love it. Easy to build almost any ETL workflow I can imagine.
The problem with the person you're responding to, is that they are a layman. They think what they read in magazines or see on Facebook is science.

Spending time in academia and reading articles in a field you know something about makes it clear they are quite far from science.

So when you said "publish science" you meant what shows up in academic journals, while when the other person said "publish science" they were thinking of an article written primarily for the purpose of engagement. The same idea probably wasn't being referenced.

Sadly, it falls on academia's shoulders to understand this problem (that before a layman sees anything "sciency" it's filtered through people who need to get an emotional reaction to drive engagement, and that defines the public perception of science) and put the work into ameliorating it. Sadly, it's a conflict of interest that probably helps procuring funds.
Really? I haven't used a native email client in awhile, but I seem to recall being able to peruse already downloaded emails, as well as drafting emails without needing connection.

Then, when you reconnect, you get new emails that you missed while you were out, as well as the ability to send the emails you'd drafted while offline.

Those are some pretty handy features to just throw away.
Looking at https://webassets.mongodb.com/_com_assets/legal/SSPL-compare... and in particular section 13, this is an attempt to squash a cloud service from packaging MongoDB and their own custom backup and UI software without offering the backup and UI software also under the license.

https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/16/mongodb-switches-up-its-op...

> MongoDB is a bit miffed that some cloud providers — especially in Asia — are taking its open-source code and offering a hosted commercial version of its database to their users without playing by the open-source rules.

> So while the SSPL isn’t all that different from the GNU GPLv3, with all the usual freedoms to use, modify and redistribute the code (and virtually the same language), the SSPL explicitly states that anybody who wants to offer MongoDB as a service — or really any other software that uses this license — needs to either get a commercial license or open source the service to give back the community.

If I was to write blog software that is backed by MongoDB, that blog software doesn't have to be released under the SSPL.

That said, the license and its application to patches on older versions would raise some eyebrows in legal with (likely valid) concerns that an upgrade of a point release may change the license on them as it was done before. In the interest of minimizing risk for the organization, the license and the company that changes its license so easily would be ones that would get extra scrutiny and developers using it would likely be advised to ask permission rather than forgiveness when dealing with it (rather than the other way around) as the risk to the org is greater than accidentally incorporating some GPL code in a service.
I’m all for probation periods. I think this is where the industry should go. Before I got hired at my current job, I think I went through around 20 hours of total interviews at several companies. I got to the final round three times for three separate companies, but they always found a reason to say no at the end. At my current company, I’m thriving and people constantly tell me so. It really makes me wonder if those other companies had just given me a chance, how much I would’ve thrived there. Really just a waste of time for everyone in the end.

This article has always bugged me because I get hung up here:

> When a bank makes a loan, for example
to someone taking out a mortgage to buy a house, it does not
typically do so by giving them thousands of pounds worth of
banknotes. Instead, it credits their bank account with a bank
deposit of the size of the mortgage.

That's certainly not how it worked for me in the US. My bank account went down dramatically in the process of buying a house because I had to wire the down payment to an escrow company, and the bank gave either the escrow company or seller the rest of the funds (I assume, I had no visibility into the process. But at no point did me-as-borrower get an increase in my deposits!

Is that super meaningful? I wouldn't think so, except for that if the seller wants cash, or wants to deposit that money in a different bank (or puts it into the stock market, or whatever) then it requires my lending bank to have something other than just numbers in their own internal database - they have to convince that other institution that they're good for the money they just lent out. And that's the part where I'd assume consumer deposits would come back into play - unless the banks have another source of currency on hand.
Yes, we could have solved it with nuclear power in the 1960s.

We still can, but we could have too.
Had a kid at startup. Not much paternity leave, about 2 weeks. I don’t know how new moms could do it. It is pretty intense. Knowing what I know now, I would have probably preferred a large co during this period.

California is over 10% of the US population, and tends to be above average in the things that businesses are looking for. That's going to be a hard ask.

Not to mention, many jobs sites are probably based there, are they going to look too kindly on job listings that disallow their own state?
What are resources for such interviews?

How many rounds should I expect, and for how long?
Great hw engineers let down by less than stellar software decisions.

Nokia owned a significant slice of late stage pre internet telephony infrastructure level equipment, bridged over to the emerging mobile world and .. kinda missed the boat when Apple happend in with iPhone and then Android's emergence killed them.

A lot of people loved their handsets. Just not enough in any single market to make up for some bad decisions.

A similar fate: I wonder if the myriad of vendors who glued to the Japanese market regretted it, as that model shrank as internet rose?
Everything is political. There's no getting away from it. You can be safely working in woman's health, and suddenly - it becomes political. No change in what you're doing, others have decided that it's a political issue, and so it is.

> Weekend flooding left cars submerged in New York ... ( 19 July 2022 )

> New York City is highly vulnerable to flooding from coastal storms due to its intensively used waterfront and its extensive coastal geography. Floods have the potential to destroy homes and businesses, impair infrastructure, and threaten human safety. With climate change and sea level rise, these risks are expected to increase in the future, but will most adversely affect low-lying neighborhoods.

Looks like he was correct about the increased risks from storm surges et al as a result of climate change.

Thanks to "helpful" legislation, everything must use the same port. Expect this to only make the situation worse in the coming years.
Slacking off can have moral implications in that it can make your coworkers' lives harder, or can be a problem for the public if it's a socially useful activity like healthcare.

If those conditions aren't met however, I don't really see why the worker should let the employer extract additional value out of them for no benefit, especially if they do fulfill the terms of the contract set to them.

Maybe it's a cultural difference but this seems like a Protestant-style fetishization of work and hierarchy for its own sake. The appeal to civility and honesty in the abstract is busted because the structural relationship is highly uncivil to begin with.

There are less lucky workers out there, so other groups of workers should relinquish their cards? Seems like a non-sequitur. You could turn it around and ask why the employer isn't grateful that they can extract as much value as they currently can. In some EU countries, they're not even allowed to monitor workers or send them work correspondence after hours!

-T1 matters. Thats an uncommon variant. Most base-t & what most people would assume Gbe base-t means is base-t4, four twisted pair (-T4), connected via 8 pin RJ45.

When compared to Android devices, Windows devices have more computing power, more memory, and a more powerful CPU. This is useful if you have a fat client with a lot of data for things like real-time visualizations and you want your devices to keep up with your users as they complete their tasks. However, all of this extra power means that the battery drains faster and the devices run hotter. When using a unit that is mounted or placed in a docking station with a constant power supply, this is not an issue.

I wonder if they threw in the towel too soon. I too had a Nokia Windows phone and I loved it. They were popular in South Africa as Nokia was a recognised brand. Bandwidth is still expensive here so most people just need WhatsApp and Facebook and they are fine. Perhaps the developed market needed more apps.
I’ve hired developers who ended up lacking experience in something that they claimed they had experience in, but they hunkered down and quickly learned the technology. That’s fine. honestly, I’d say that if you don’t slightly exaggerate experience in interviews you’re doing them wrong. It’s when someone outright lies and then fails to actually learn what they’ve said they know that’s the problem.

Some of those that maintain and make sure some machines are working correctly do have very advanced degrees, but I agree most aren't as qualified. However, these aren't the people the video is talking about nor the people that will be difficult to recruit.
An expired Metrocard does not forfeit the value. You can put it into a machine and it will issue a new one with the balance rolled over.

They expire quickly (12-18 months) because the magnetic stripe wears out quickly.
While I agree, its also a way to

a) know the market

b) not interview for 4-8 hours only to find out they are going to pay you 30k less than your current job (yep had that, never make that mistake again)
Or possibly long hibernation could allow adults to travel too.
I remember back about a decade ago I went to Vancouver BC on the company's dime. Turns out the corporate card was set to "PIN priority" or whatever so you could not use it as a chip and signature card in Canada. Unfortunately US Bank sent my PIN to me at home the day I left for the trip. The metro had caught on fire the day before so I didn't actually have to deal with paying for transit.

Anyways, with the Clipper card if you're going to use the app just add it to your phone's wallet and use your phone to tap the card readers. Alternatively you should still be able to top your card up at any place that sells Clipper cards – but that may take a day or two to update. As annoying as that is, both BART and Muni made paying for a subway ride with cash as excruciating as possible. You were boned if you wanted to pay with a $20 bill. Or if you wanted to use a credit card to pay for a BART ticket at the some of the ticket machines at some of the poorer stations.

Reach out to Streetsblog or SFist if you want to bubble up the complaint.
Your solution is useless for all but the 10% most tech literate users. And also involves carrying around a veritable toolkit of adapters and multiple cables.
At this point I don't think we should go green. I think we should go atomic.

Green energy is mostly the path to hell being paved with good intentions.
It's intentional. See https://customerservice.costco.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7...

The idea is that if you see something that interests you, you buy it now, and there's always something new on each visit. It's annoying for certain things, but at the same time it allows them to avoid having the same stock on the floor because people are on the fence about a purchase.
I think it’s simple enough to see why Nokia thought Windows would be the right choice. It was far more polished than Android at the time. It ran well on cheap hardware. And they would have Microsoft backing them.
Lets say it costs 100k to reverse engineer a card, drivers, and software (I doubt it will stay on budget, I see how the software industry operates. The Uni will probably get hooked on SaS contract)

So now the department is down 100k for a hack. Does the hack even work? Probably not. The "engineer" probable over sold himself and got hired anyway because of the talent shortage.

So the uni is down $100k, the system chugs along with Win3.1 just fine, and every research group understand that when it finally breaks they'll all have to pitch in for a new one.

Btw, as to your comment on this department's myopia, the university is top 10. The department is top 5 world wide.
No, it really doesn't work well. Have you ever used a USB protocol analyzer or written a USB device driver?

Bad cables operating out of spec don't just make things a bit slower - they introduce noise. They corrupt data which best case is caught by a checksum and just creates latency but worst case triggers device driver bugs and makes devices behave oddly, hang, need to be plugged and unplugged, etc. This is enormously frustrating for users and it happens all the time. Users typically blame their devices, or their computers, rather than the bad cabling.

Furthermore, it's not even remotely correct that an average person doesn't need more than USB2.0 speeds. That's only 480Mbit/s, which isn't nearly enough to drive the $80 HD webcams that we're all using while WFH. Common modern webcams need like 1.5Gbit/s, and that's just the webcam. You can't run a typical WFH computer on USB 2.0 in the age of zoom meetings.

USB is an absolute nightmare right now.
Except that 2020 protests didn't cause short term upticks in case numbers the same way some (not all) political and entertainment events did, most likely because they were mostly young people and they were outside.

The biggest risk factor for transmission is bad ventilation and the biggest comorbidity is age.

So they weren't really wrong, and people at the time encouraged other political and entertainment events to be held outside to reduce risk.

That his letter pointed out a real problem never seemed controversial. The shocking part was tying themselves to MS without a reasonable backup plan.

They thought they couldn't build hardware good enough to compete with other Android makers, but somehow convinced themselves that the solution to that was to put their less competitive hardware onto a less competitive platform.
I know the feeling.

I’m sorry, dude. That blows.
So it both wouldn't fly in the 1980s and then also really took off in the 1980s? I guess we're just sorta freewheeling with whatever we want to say then? Cool.
Nokia suffered from lack of direction from the top... They had both symbian and maemo, both officially blessed, but incompatible. Symbian was the past and maemo had promise, so what did management do... a hail mary bet on microsoft? It came out of nowhere and seemed desperate, I believe the market's reaction reflected this sadly.
>solar/wind + storage.

Then why are energy prices rising in every grid the more renewables it uses?
I think it's opposite, if you have more of money, you likely will have more options and don't want to have your money on some random roboadvisor startup.

Part of Wealthfront mission was to encourage younger people to save. They had a nice "savings tool" that you could play around with. Similarly how Robinhood got lot of people in to stock investing because the app was engaging and easy to use (for good or bad).

Fidely and Vanguard apps and websites are quite horrible to navigate and there are many more hoops to go through just to open an account and then you need to figure which funds to pick and how balance etc. With Wealthfront you just download the app on your phone, add some info, your bank account and set like that you want to invest like $250 twice a month and then forget about it.

Why on Earth any normal person would specifically look for CSAM material be it AI generated or not? I doubt that many people who seen something sickening on internet immediately became attracted to it and huge percent of people who use internet for 10+ years seen all kind of terrible things. Unfortunately anyone who hosted or moderated online communities had to deal with a lot of terrible things.

Also we have whole army of youtube / facebook / twitter moderators who actually see CSAM daily and we dont have stories about everyone of them turning into child-abusers. Though it's proven that this kind of job can make person mentally ill, but for completely different reasons.

PS: Again be it AI generated or not I totally sure that CSAM should stay banned from sharing. But I dont give a damn about what you paint, generate and watch on your own PC.
It's a total failure. John Mastodon, the CEO and founder of Mastodon, was just fired from the company after their stock prices hit an all time low.

That's not how it works. It's open source and can be forked and improved upon. It doesn't need millions of users to survive and be useful to a lot of us.
I'm not sure who to blame for that; but agree it was a mistake.

Stress a lack of evidence (at that time)? Sure.

Stress that N-95 and KN-95 masks must be reserved for hospital workers, and possibly even pre-press banning their sale under emergency commandeering measures? I think we can all guess why that didn't fly politically (it would require admitting there was a serious pandemic).

The public should never be 'lied to' nor 'ticked' (which the people I've spoken with mostly assume was happening with that initial mask stance) and should be treated as adults, possibly ones without a full set of information from expert matters on a subject.
Most people don't do high speed anything. I have a camera I can download video from but only at MicroSD speeds.

90% of USB cables are for charging stuff, or low speed things like keyboards. For an average person it's already close to perfect. Even PD over 30W is somewhat rare.

USB monitors will be a little confusing but still better than bulky HDMI.
