Maybe your grouping of people has normalized staying home when you are sick? It used to be normal that coming to work making everyone sick was a sign of motivation and dedication whereas now its deemed by many myself included as a sign that your an inconsiderate jerk who doesn't mind killing Susan in HR's grandma.
Oh shit, Fastmail is based in Australia? I don't know how this escaped me/how I'd never heard of this.

Yeah, Australia's policies regarding the internet are fully foobar'd. Removing them from the listing. Nothing against the people of course but it's off my radar as even a place to visit for this reason (not that they need my tourism).
IT would be very hard to screen against 5G connected household appliances without rendering cellphones using the same frequencies also useless.
You're not alone. One of my good friends is a bartender in LA, refused to get vaccinated (for religious reasons that aren't germane to this discussion) and has yet to get covid. You would think that a guy that interacts with people every day at a bar would get it, but nope. He never has. Probably never will. Makes me think that the CDC should seek out people like this and study them to determine why. I got my proper vaccinations, and still got it a couple months ago. It was a pretty decent flu, but honestly no worse than my worst seasonal flu I had back in 2014. He travels internationally a lot, and I have to wonder if doing that primed his immune system in some way.
The "grey-scale" color blindness is super rare. The "just that certain shades merge together" color blindness is what usual color blindness is.
It doesn't really matter if it is or not. There's no way it'd ever get to court to decide whether it is or not if Nintendo choose to issue a takedown. The law is very one-sided in favor of corporations with deep pockets.
And if you prefer to use windows, smartermail is a very good mail server software. It has smtp, pop, imap, webmail and (if you buy the commercial version) activesync.
I want to applaud your idealism and hard work on building this place but am filled with dread that a year such as 2022 will just be the new normal and extremes will be getting worse at least for the next 30 years.

The main concern mentioned in the comments seems to be that programmers will find it hard to work with this hardware.

But is that really the intention? Wouldn't it be enough if there is one program written for it, one that takes a bunch of inputs and a bunch of outputs and then creates a set of NN weights that perform well?

So the AWS style offer would not be "rent our hardware and program on it" but "rent our hardware/software stack, throw your input/output pairs at it and get back a set (billions) of NN weights that perform well".

I loved the start of this film; it's an onslaught of super advanced wetware technology, cybernetics, comic book weaponry, corporate dystopia and (frankly) a little bit too much violence lol. I agree with the others comments: it might not live up to my mid 90s memory of it.

Hi!

I'm seasoned software engineer, architect, engineering manager and ex-CTO with more than 25 years in the industry. I have a pretty neat track record of building pretty impressive things that live online. I've taken several projects from wireframes to global deployments. I love open-source!

I also have experience leading remote distributed teams and making sure that all the relevant product and business stakeholders are happy.

I would love to see what you wanna build and help you get to that next sweet level.

Sincerely,

Oto
He could have had an asymptotic infection. But yeah maybe he was just never infected. Of course everyone isn’t going to get it.

Edit: What’s your reasoning for this claim?

> Probably never will.
Massive corps that have a clue about how the internet works today badly care about email.

Email is your identity in many cases (for lack of a better solution).

Email -> identity -> tracking -> advertising revenue
Try a VanMoof, it costs slightly more but is worth it.
Yes it is. The advertising companies you describe are the present of evil.
Everybody seems to be different and we don't know why. There seem to be not much research into why there are such differences in people's reaction, how virus actually spreads, the treatment protocols (stay at home and rest, unless you get really sick then come to the hospital and we will begin to look at you). Availability of treatments seem to be poor, again unless you are very sick at the hospital. We are only allowed to talk about vaccines. It feels like Pfizer bought off the entiriety of Western governments.
Murphy's law says that if you self-host your email, the day you need it to work more than ever, is the day when it will let you down
The banks don't just look at your credit score. They want you to be able to repay, and to be able to collect if you default. A regular job in the US, or 2 years as an independent contractor or self employed would qualify you for an unsecured credit card without a cosigner at most banks and credit unions.

One trick if you have family that trusts you is to have them add you as an authorized user. Then their multiple year old account history for that account will be part of your credit, bringing up the average age
Yeah true dat.

Still, if you have 5-50 samples from an unknown distribution I think the KS test can be a very valuable protection against false-positive i.e. seeing patterns in random noise.

Even more so if you are making multiple comparisons, e.g. comparing multiple response variables, since you can easily make a Bonferroni correction to avoid "the xkcd 882 problem" which is hard to do by eyeball.

So I see a lot of utility in the KS test (and Wilcox, etc) when measuring computer systems on multiple metrics with unknown distributions (often not Gaussian) and where samples cost ~$0.10-$1.0 each. I see a lot of false positives in the absence of such tests, or otherwise generally low confidence in inferences based on e.g. eyeball/mean/median.
Just love this ,read once
I suppose that's why the person you're replying to specified clueful!
Fair enough. I guess being around wikimedia for so long has made me think of project to soley mean wikidata, wiktionary, etc.

And i fully agree that any talk of billions is ridiculous. However i suspect the tide is turning on that. Just look at how many of the current board election candidates are talking about stopping expansion and stabilizing current numbers.
It depends on the "DL model", which is a highly vague term. Both a model with 10K parameters and a model with 10T parameters fit this description equally Well.
Perhaps they do this so they can carry over this tech into their cars. If you are making millions of cars per year, with tens or hundreds of chips per car, it is easy to reason doing this on your own instead of outsourcing it.
> my experiences with the Apple Silicon machines ... however I'm constantly running into problems with buggy software which is unfixable because Apple don't do compatibility.

You're aware that the compatibility of any software (that's not Apple software) is the responsibility of the software vendor with regards to making it work on Silicon? Have I misunderstood you here? You can't actually expect Apple to just magically make code designed for one CPU architecture just work on another? There's kernel level translations you can do between opcodes, but that can't be expected to be perfect. The perfect solution is the vendor updates their software.
Yeah, but also, those people get punished for it - they are perceived less capable.
>Nobody was ever able to get any of the documentation listed on this page from the Japanese side, even family

Do you mean the allegedly-deceased person's family has been unable to confirm their death with the government? This seems like a significant fact I have not seen reported. Do you have a link for this claim?
> It exactly went as I predicted… I will never ever trust politicians and the media again.

Anecdata & echo chambers, death of the nicer things about the human race they will be.
>Edit: What’s your reasoning for this claim?

More or less the same as yours.

If he had it, he was asymptomatic.

If he gets it, he'll be asymptomatic because see above.
I'm not sure of the point being made? Is it: manufacturing processes and software aren't perfect? And that only applies to Apple?
Every escape hatch in the certificate validation is also an additional avenue for attack. For example, using a DNS record to override certificate pins makes DNS cache poisoning much more valuable to the attacker.
I think the solution for batteries in cold weather is to insulate the pack and heat the battery "coolant". Almost all modern EVs use liquid cooling of some kind. (Nissan Leaves are the exception; I don't know if they've added that in newer versions, but it's why Leaf battery packs were notorious for wearing out quickly.)

I don't know if battery heaters are a common feature on current EVs. I'd think it would be particularly useful for LFP cells, which can be damaged if you try to charge them when they're below freezing. They can be discharged safely (if not efficiently) at much lower temperatures, which means you could "bootstrap" the car in cold weather by using the battery to heat itself until it gets warm enough to charge (without which you can't use regenerative braking).

It wouldn't be that far-fetched to imagine a battery cell with a built-in heating element (e.g. an internal 1 ohm resistor across the battery terminals) that, when activated, keeps the cell at at least room temperature and shuts off when the battery gets up to temperature. Normally you'd only activate the heater when charging or driving.
> People over-use "discrimination".

People are murdered just for being atheists all over the world. Seems discriminatory enough to be deemed discrimination.
> Your pay is based on the cost to hire your replacement. That’s it.

That's not quite true.

The cost of hiring your replacement is only the maximum they'll accept to pay you. But they will pay you only slightly above what they think you'll find elsewhere. So your pay is the MIN(cost of your replacement, what they think you can get elsewhere).

That explains location-based pay for remote jobs. Because they take into account that your alternatives are mostly local, so they only have to compete with local rates. The only way out of this is to be willing to relocate, or convince them you're getting enough good remote offers that they have to compete with that.
And the people in respirators, what, didn't drink enough vodka?
Hey, thanks again for following up.

I have the feeling that the hype about the integrated database functionality might have more to do with the fact that the storage engine goes pretty deep than the fact that there's a frontend for it that speaks SQL.

That was kind of my point in originally noting that it isn't _really_ Db2: It's the object-relational database management system built into QSYS.LIB with an alternative frontend built from the bits that look like Db2. The rest of it just feels like conflation with perhaps what was a bit of initial upselling before SQL/400 became taken for granted enough such that IBM stopped making it a chargeable feature.

As a consequence, it all smells (at least to me) wildly different from the Db2 on z that uses VSAM under the hood. That last part is notable: VSAM is just a dataset access method, not something like i's ORDBMS that allows for, e.g., more reasonable ad hoc reporting. Doing that with ordinary VSAM datasets is kind of a pain, particularly if you need to do a lot of joins to get what you're after.

Additionally, where you have to migrate data out of ordinary VSAM datasets into Db2 on z, the data is already there in Db2 for i since it's all the same object-relational storage engine underneath. The other details seem to hinge on DDS-defined PFs allowing invalid data on write where DDL-defined tables validate data as it's written, differences in how keys are handled, differences in allowed field lengths, and so on. The two are, nevertheless, allowed to coexist much more easily.
> I would bet its rarely a case.

I agree that life goes on, but it's not rare at all. It happens all the time. People leave and things are f-d up for a while.

The thing is, it's not a permanent condition. People adapt, new hires are eventually found to fill the gap, or others who were thought of as not up to the task take the opportunity left by someone's absence to step up in their career.

One person leaving won't sink a company that is large enough. That doesn't mean it won't hurt, however. And how the company handles things after the departure is very critical.

Perhaps more important (and dangerous) is the morale hit that the others will feel as their peers start leaving. There very much can be a "rats-leaving-the-sinking-ship" effect that can be precipitated by a key person leaving.
This was great. It recreated the ephemeral joy of jamming together with a group of people. Wish there was some kind of chat feature but I guess that would be tough to moderate
Sssh!

You know it already. It is a social phenomenon. When someone rocks up at a barbecue or place with an open fire, brandishing marshmallows. After everyone has consumed their marshmallows it is explained that they are real marsh mallows, containing marsh mallow root, as used by the ancients to get their blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm in perfect harmony. So these are not your normal marshmallow 'toy sweets', these are the real deal, to be savoured like truffles laced with gold.

By now everyone has had a few beers. The presence of the open fire makes them feel good. Miraculously they feel that their black bile is definitely in order and that the phlegm situation is great.

Of course the marshmallows were just out of date ones bought from the corner shop and had no active ingredients.

Often people that are not very good at barbecues conflate the Marshmallow effect with their endeavours so any extensive visits made to the rest rooms the following day are all seen as a good thing and not toxic food poisoning. It is easier to admit to 'Marshmallow Effect' than to something brown and runny.

Which brings me on to the 'Pigeon Feather Effect'...
What are the main obstacle to cheap EV?

Today's car are heavy as hell compared to cars made 30 years ago.

> most Americans regularly drive across areas where you may not see anyone for miles around

83% of Americans live in urban areas. Why would they "regularly drive across areas where [they] may not see anyone for miles around"...?

Are you sure you're not just extrapolating from your own experience?
This is the reason why remote companies have cost of living adjustments. They don't want to compete with other remote companies but nothing is stopping you from just applying only to remote companies.
I have never understood why people always want to delete accounts instead of just stopping visiting sites they dont like anymore and moving on with life.
I hope at some point the routine crushing of smaller providers gains the attention of the competition and markets authority, or its equivalents. It is crazy how Google and MS use their market power in this way and get away with it.
The last time I owned a car was 1997. The last time I actually drove one was 2011 (I put about 1200 miles on a rental car in a week.)

I still retain a driver's license. I owned a bicycle for a few years but I ditched it, because it was extraordinarily inconvenient for all the use I got, at least after I quit a call-center job in an isolated office park.

I've ridden public transit for about 45 years, thanks Grandma!

This year I'm going multi-modal. I'm using taxi cabs for errands like groceries and laundry. I'm using specialized rideshare for medical appointments. I use public transit for ordinary errands and appointments where I don't need to lug a lot of cargo around. I use scooter-shares for quickly zipping somewhere with zero cargo (it's fun! 17MPH in a traffic lane! Look ma, no helmets!) And I rented a car (ICE, no other options) a few months ago which enabled me to do stuff like haul scrap metal and other recycling to the facility, which does not permit citizens without a vehicle (and just try convincing a taxi driver to cooperate with that ritual...)

I live in a very, very multi-modal-friendly city and they're aggressively adding options and restructuring the highways and byways to be friendly to people just like me. There's a new community of micro-homes going in two blocks down. It's going to be quite the multi-modal transportation Utopia for the foreseeable future!
Email is a protocol from the seventies (unmixed, unencrypted by default), not surprised if it leads to centralisation.
There's no citation needed, there's some education needed. It's a simple fact that discrimination occurs against atheists in many contexts - political, social, professional.

You're setting a very odd, nonsensical definition of what discrimination is to try to make a gotcha. Maybe if you tried to speak to the degree or effect of that discrimination you might have something interesting to add to the conversation.

This is impressive, how was it made? Especially curious about Source games, it really feels like you're running the entire Source Engine on a browser
Europe is not equivalent to the US. Granted, it's outside Canada, but it's probably even cheaper than Canada.
I read someone calling quiet qutting "acting your wage", which I found quite hilarious and accurate.

Not my intention. IMO my tone matches your first post re “The entire system is broken”.

> It's my actual physical address in the US.

Ah I wish you mentioned that. In that case I’m not sure why you’d be rejected by every bank. My understanding is that if you don’t get auto-approved based on your credit history the bank has to use its own homegrown risk assessment which is a lot more conservative. Maybe the internal tool instantly rejected the application because your IP address didn’t match your address? Try calling and asking them (not the front line CSR, but a credit analyst that can override the software):

Is Maddy's IMAP+object storage setup mature now? Last time I tried it I was testing against minio and trying to get my 25gb inbox synced over. The transfer was in b/s, would've taken forever. I love the project but haven't checked in on it for over a year now.
To satisfy Godwin's law: Nazi concentration camps had amenities like swimming pools for the guards. I'm sure plenty of thought went into how to make the job comfortable given its gruesome reality. That doesn't mean we should be writing salivating opeds about management lessons to take away from that.
Octopus is such an extraordinarily useful system; it may genuinely be the part of day-to-day life in HK that I miss the most.

The cards are stored value, so transactions happen instantly and can be automatically reloaded from a credit card. They also support non-payment-related functions, so you can e.g. register your Octopus as a building access card and not have to carry around a separate token.

This exact thing happened to me. A test account I created with a weak password that I should have deleted but forgot about got pwned. I have spam detection in place and within an hour I disabled that account. But that was enough to send over 30,000 spam emails, and then your IP reputation is gone for a very long time.

The point being that outgoing spam detection won't save you, by the time you are pwned it's too late.

My solution is to have a script that scans the mail server log files and aggressively block ips of failed authentication attempts that are not quickly followed by a successful authentication attempt, and get immediate notification when there is a successful authentication attempt from an unexpected country (I think it's not the same bot that scans for vulnerable accounts and sends spam so you have maybe an hour to react).

That works well for a small user base.
> *All together, here are some alternate email providers:

Anyone uses or used to use Tutanota? That’s the only privacy-focused email provider I know of aside from ProtonMail.

And why is having a data center in Germany a selling point for some of these email providers?
For that to work we'd need both a carbon tax (or something equivalent) and a heavy tariff on goods that are imported from countries without such a tax. As long as both of those things can be enacted at once, I'm in favor.
> I'm afraid a lot _might_ have to do with my registered address (zip code) in the States, when I try to apply. Inner city and all that

It’s not, a lot of us have had credit cards and “bad” zip codes / addresses. You just don’t have verifiable W-2/1099 income.

I would love to use EV - it is simpler, more torque etc. But where do we get all this additional electricity from, mostly burning carbon?
Earlier in their statement they mentioned that Nintendo is very likely to issue a takedown notice of it because it violates copyright.
Ask HN: How much electricity does a WiFi router consume?
Prices of the electricity in the EU recently became sky high, and people should save as much kWh as possible.

I could not find any related and trustable calculation about how much electricity consumes a Wifi router. Especially I am curious about the difference between the idle mode and when I downloading with full bandwith.

I believe there is no significant difference (and it doesn´t even matter at all, while freezers and heatings are on), but it would be nice to know.
The answer for question about SCHAR_MAX == CHAR_MAX is just wrong there. Of course it is "undefined", or actually, it is configurable with "-funsigned-char" flag (for GCC/Clang/ICC).
