The salaries at the big car companies are not bad actually (compared to other German companies... compared to the US they are pitiful, of course). The problem is the company culture. If you look at the recruitment material you will immediately notice this attitude of infantilization they have towards IT. They don't attract that kind of talent who's in it for the thrill of problem solving. They end up getting all the morons who like the brand and IT salary but have no passion for technology and it really shows in the product. Zalando is exactly the opposite: They sell extremely uncool shoes and are 1000 times as innovative as BMW with their sports cars. MOIA is also much better than their parent corporation Volkswagen.
How about face to face then write it up? Then both to agree the minutes are accurate.
Gutenberg's 42-line Bible required about 299 glyphs. The natural presumption is his letters were cast from a single matrix (e.g. a single 'A' mold casts thousands of 'A' types), however careful analysis of his books reveals variations between letters which suggest multiple subtly different matrices were used. The reason for the apparent variation between the matrices is disputed, but one explanation is the variation between matrices may indicate the matrices were produced by composing several individual stroke punches, rather than one punch per gylph. I think this technique of using individual stroke punches to compose matrices then used for die casting could work for Eastern languages too. I don't know how many individual stroke punches you would need for Korean or Chinese, but it's surely fewer than the number of glyphs those languages have.
I didn't understand if it can handle this use case: a file server with (simple case) a hot swappable SATA3 bay (or any other bus), N disks (N - 1 are offline.) Send files to the server (rsync, scp, anything), remove the disk and replace it with another one, iterate. NNCP should handle this so far. But would it be able to tell me on which disk a file is stored?

If this were handled at file system level, the FS should pretend all disks are online to let me list files and directories. When I want to access an offline file or mkdir or perform any write operation on offline disks, it would raise an error and tell me which disk to load into the server. Then I try again.

If NNCP doesn't do that, is there and Linux file system able to do it? I googled but I didn't find much.
Cloudflare also allows other to remove any websites free speech by allowing illegal booters to use their protection.

Supporting the economy of illegal DDOS-for-Hire by protecting them from attacks from rivals lowers the cost to launch the attacks. That forces many webmasters to use large DDOS migration providers for which Cloudflare is the only one affordable to them.

Cloudflare is stopping many from avoiding using them by allowing booter websites and if it wants to play gatekeeper, the website should face legal action as it non-neutral platforms (rather than carriers) are subject to S.230 and allowing illegal website under that would mean losing safe harbor and Cloudflare being sized and its top people thrown in prison.

A counter punch from someone who feels attacked, right?

Alternatively, you could accept the well-intentioned and fair criticism.
Hydrogen tech is a bit of an odd one to me since people rarely talk about the one good thing about it that might offset the otherwise just straight bad performance, you can store it for a long time!
So in a world with truly massive renewable energy surplus during peak hours/days/months maybe hydrogen vehicles will make sense as a way of making use of this very inefficient but shelf stable form of storage.
Until then I really don't see why people are getting excited about something that is a lot worse than battery electric in a lot of ways

Kiwi Farms was literally and deliberately driving people to suicide.

Your argument appears to be this: "Private companies should be forced by the government to host any content, no matter how horrifying and evil it is."

Your argument is morally horrifying, and legally indefensible.
Why Haskell Is Interesting? (2005)
Americans are going to expect to be able to return to the factories and earn what their grandparents did on the assembly line, with lifetime employment security, enough money to pay for two cars in the garage, a generous pension and a gold watch at retirement. They're going to be shocked to find out most manufacturing jobs were automated away ages ago and that the few slots left for human beings are going to pay miserable wages just to remain competitive.

And then on top of all that, the cost of domestic goods goes up dramatically while quality goes down, and the American export market collapses because no one wants to buy the American version of a Lada.

I'm surprised this doesn't mention Mongolians or Kublai Khan anywhere, as they ruled China at the time and were the ones who introduced Asian printing techniques to Europeans in the first place, and allowed Gutenberg to make his first printing press.
> My (admittedly narrow) understanding is that other European colonial enterprises were far more closely tied to and administered by the governments in question

Depends which government - the Spanish and to a lesser degree the French yes, but for instance the Dutch used a structure pretty close to the British one, with the East India (VOC) company and West India company (WIC).
Interestingly, there is this (unrelated?) saying about Sicilians: "Sicilians build as if they will live forever, and eat as if they will die tomorrow."

The text better supports GP's understanding:

> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

This is explicitly about what sorts of laws Congress may not pass, and not about the conduct of private citizens or institutions.
Dan Luu worked for one of the semiconductor industry's customers. He didn't work at S2 or another chipmaker. (He also explicitly mentions that he was lucky to work at Centaur starting out, but that's besides the point—since, again, Centaur is not a chipmaker.)

When I mentioned Dan Luu, I was specifically referring to the recent thunderstorm on Twitter where he mentioned the uncanny valleyness of doing work for unsexy companies and that it's actually more like a blemish on your résumé than a non-zero positive contribution.
The Toyota Mirai platform is impressive, although it is still heavily subsidized.

I guess my question was about the cells themselves, though, and less about H2 production / storage. I’m reading that the newer fuel cells have much less platinum— on the same order as a catalytic converter.

If I try to buy a hydrogen fuel cell on the open market, they seem to cost around $10k per kW. Which makes Mirai that much more amazing given that it’s 114kW! I wonder how that’s even possible…

This tech is still years away from seeing mass adoption on the roadways, but Toyota is readying its powertrain to see production start next year. As a simple proof of concept, the folks at Toyota stuffed their powertrain into a Kenworth T680 and took yours truly along for a ride.

What is Toyota's plan while everyone else goes fully electric? Hope people just prefer a clunky old gas guzzler and high oil prices?
It goes both directions. Without the printing press, the rise of mass religious movements prioritizing literacy would not have been possible. But once the printing press was there, the religious movements pushed literacy forward faster than it would have gone without them.
The two elements I see:

1. CO2 is ONLY useful if the CO2's next use is profitably useful - the fossil fuel industry is the only economically viable user of CO2 that can "make it disappear because they inject it into wells. Any others will always re-release it (e.g. make sodas, triple-point extraction, etc).

2. CO2 extraction is probably marginal economically because you are already starting from the disadvantage of having to extract it from the air - where you first must "pay" in energy for the entropy which is always going to be costly and unavoidable.

If this is what Matthew Prince referred to as:

> However, the rhetoric on the Kiwifarms site and specific, targeted threats have escalated over the last 48 hours to the point that we believe there is an unprecedented emergency and immediate threat to human life unlike we have previously seen from Kiwifarms or any other customer before.

Seriously? I helped moderate a small community at one point and we would see stuff like this on a weekly basis. Or just look at a YouTube or Facebook comment section on a controversial topic. This looks like an excuse to cave to the Twitter mob.
Clearly you don't understand the difference to "people responding to a serious and systematic injustice" and "people trying to harass others until they commit suicide."

Consider developing some sort of moral or ethical sense.

Oh, and there is no official "Black Lives Matter" site. Someone registered one after the fact, but they have no official standing or really do much of anything.
Even weirder: my head of engineering, an Englishman, pronounces it I.D.M-potency
All I'm saying is that a system without leaders that have creativity and vision would be a poor thing. Ultimately the question is, who should be in charge of allocating resources. There's a major role for government but I think largely, but not exclusively, it should be private citizens that have demonstrated their ability to start and run businesses and create jobs and products. If you think it should be someone else, you're free to suggest an alternative.
Not exactly a horror story, but here it one. I decided to send proofs to a well-known academic publisher in order to report colleagues who had used findings from my lesser-known research papers (published in lower-profile journals) and my PhD thesis as their key conclusions. The Publisher started an investigation, but I was told that my colleagues would need to see the evidence first. The Publisher would not disclose my identity, I was certain that my "colleagues" would have figured it out. So, I made the decision to call them first and ask for clarification. They requested me to send them their text and works for which I was claiming authorship while acting as though they had no idea what I was talking about. After I sent the email, they called back, berated me, and threatened me with a lawsuit for defamation for using the words "Below is the text from the paper, which contains ideas taken from my publications.". They explicitly used the words "by all possible means". Then asked for apology. I did apologize and urge the Publisher to halt the investigation, but was this the proper course of action? Back then I was scared, but I am angry now. My sin is that my papers and Ph.D. results are not published in the big academic publishing companies (so they cannot find the plagiarism), except for one in Elsevier.

Yes, it looks like Hollywood has got an order from above that every TV show made henceforth must have one prominent LGBT / person of colour / empowered women character (preferably all 3) and this condition creates a creative hurdle for writers, especially with old popular tales. And they are left with no recourse but to convert one of the existing characters to meet this requirement. However, I feel that Hollywood also doesn't mind the outrage it creates, and even feeds it, to generate free publicity for its show (as an old PR adage states, "All publicity is good publicity" - https://www.businessinsider.com/there-2011-2?IR=T ).

An automatic rifle has almost no positive use to it. This software is not like that and more like something that makes everyone better at a skill, uniformly raising the artistic talent floor. The large majority benefit but some would use their new earned skill for bad. It would be like denying literacy and the printing press because there will always be some people who use it to write very bad distressing things, manipulate more easily en masse and spread misinformation.

I'm not I entirely agree that frequently witnessing racial diversity in movies isn't going to affect the way you react to what you might see in your own neighbourhood. Our perceptions of what's "normal" absolutely are shaped by cultural norms and they can be spread by literature, TV and film as much as they can by lived experience.
I'm a bit baffled by your description of a group of friends from "every nationality that exists" but all being white skinned - how on earth does that even happen?
FWIW I'm not American but I have grown up surrounded by friends and colleagues from all over the world, and they very much do have a variety of skin colours, eye colours/shapes, and other superficial features that mark them as coming from various ethnic/racial backgrounds. There's literally no racial appearance it would be at all surprising to see featured among those in my suburb (e.g. there's a significant population of Somalians, who have very distinctive features, but plenty with an obviously Mediterranean background, likewise Chinese, Vietnamese, subcontinental etc. among a slight majority from the more obviously northern European ancestry that I share). I certainly would have found the experience of going to, e.g. Japan and seeing almost nothing but ethnic Japanese quite unnerving if I hadn't had some exposure to that reality via TV and/or movies beforehand.
When I do watch movies or TV shows made in the US that somehow manage to avoid casting anyone who isn't white in a substantial role it's hard not imagine that somehow the producers/casting agents felt uncomfortable about living in a multi-racial world and were subconsciously trying to project a world that only existed in their imaginations.
This kind of sentiment existed in the 80's and 90's when talking about electric cars. Then a lot of innovation happened and suddenly everyone wants one.

Don't be so arrogant.
Hi @dr_dshiv! I saw this a bit late.

Our city council recently replaced all the street lights with new LED lights - one of our neighbors is convinced it is 5G - this is the same person who votes as well.

Govt is generally a low quality effort until it comes around to election time and then carefully crafted slogans and media and the majority of voters fall for it every time.

Democracy is best system we have but sometimes the outcomes is less than desirable.
I'm definitely in favor of tools on top of my text files. I started with Sublime Text[1] and Markdown Editing[2] Package. I can still and sometimes resort to this setup. I believe that if I can search (Sublime Text is powerful with this) easily, that solves all the connection/relationship between the files.

And a bit of a shameless plug but I have been told by colleagues and friends that my file organizations lasts ages, and are the easiest to navigate. Some have told me, 10-years later, that the system I build and the naming convention are still followed to that day to maintain the software and an easy common-lingual between the designers and developers. :-)

With tools such as Obsidian, it has already shown that this is going to improve as we progress. For me, it is more of the process and patterns of how am I mapping the files/topics/subjects mentally.

That’s a weird assumption, because the causes of the demise of the company are very well documented. It was nationalised as a consequence of being responsible for a rebellion which killed over 800,000 people, in 1857.

Wikipedia has some contrasting info in their woodblock printing article though:

> only Europeans who had never seen Chinese woodblock printing in action tended to dismiss it, perhaps due to the almost instantaneous arrival of both xylography and movable type in Europe. The early Jesuit missionaries of late 16th century China, for instance, had a similar distaste for wood based printing for very different reasons. These Jesuits found that "the cheapness and omnipresence of printing in China made the prevailing wood-based technology extremely disturbing, even dangerous."[42] Matteo Ricci made note of "the exceedingly large numbers of books in circulation here and the ridiculously low prices at which they are sold."[43] Two hundred years later the Englishman John Barrow, by way of the Macartney mission to Qing China, also remarked with some amazement that the printing industry was "as free as in England, and the profession of printing open to everyone."[42] The commercial success and profitability of woodblock printing was attested to by one British observer at the end of the nineteenth century, who noted that even before the arrival of western printing methods, the price of books and printed materials in China had already reached an astoundingly low price compared to what could be found in his home country

Also interesting that the Korean moveable type was highly restricted, as mentioned elsewhere, so it's partly industrial technology and commerce but partly lack of censorship the Westerners are surprised by.
Aren’t all business models at odds with agile (agile is one but hardly taught in economics schools, or?)? It sure feels like it, as soon as a agile process gets formalized towards business, it crashes. Execs wants metrics, which gets abused from both sides of it. And to create relevant metrics you need details which just adds to the bureaucracy and slows things down. As there are deliveries to consider and business contracts, management and sales wants hard deadlines to sell. Thus you need to estimate everything to give management an idea if and how relevant something is to do in relation to what needs to be done from a sales perspective. It always ends up in bureaucratic hell because the more formalized something gets, the more data it needs to be accurate and deterministic, which is a goal from management.

I’m color-blind, too. I can see only the resizing difference in the gif; the colors look identical to me.

I haven’t ever experienced the reperception-by-suggestion phenomenon that you describe. But I do think that, when I was young, I gradually became a bit better at distinguishing and remembering colors than I had been as a child, perhaps because having been told that I was color-blind made me pay more attention to colors. “Purple” was a mystery to me when I was ten; by the age of twenty, I could usually distinguish it from blue.
