I'd say that after using Rust for a year I also fought the borrow checker, but after using Rust for 6 years I definitely don't anymore. A lot of the difference between a year and 6 was unlearning C++ habits.
BLuetooth has not enough bandwith to handle that lossless audio with overall good experience, is my best bet.
I started watching this series back in the day because it involved Commodore Amiga and Lightwave 3D (both of which I owned and used at the time). Totally agree with you about "distinguishing features". That's what kept me watching it right to the end (including the movies)… As to "It hasn't aged that well" re; the animation, it's honestly aged better'n some other shows from around the same timeframe, although some A.I. upscaling of resolution for modern displays might be nice to see. I'm highly in favor of more new Babylon 5 stuff coming forth…
Sure, that's why no one proposes only solar, nor do they propose solar in only one place at a time.
1.2 GW worth of neutrons is rather a lot. Neutrons cause damage to materials (e.g. disrupting the microstructure) and also make elements radioactive through neutron capture (activation products). It's a pretty complicated issue really.

I have never really like the concept of technical debt. It sort of implies all imperfection is debt. Yes all software has imperfections and warts. And as this article explains it's not really debt, as it often doesn't need to be "repaid".

I put it in the same bag as things like TDD - stuff that is promoted as being "basic truths" but are really of very questionable and suspect validity.
The American Alpine club gives members some insurance for rescues: https://americanalpineclub.org/rescue

Cost of rescue really depends where you're at though. In a national park like Mt. Rainier you aren't actually charged even if they have to helicopter you off the top of the mountain--rescues are paid for by the cost of a climbing permit that everyone pays to go above 10k feet. In other places SAR teams operate like volunteer fire departments and get funding from the county. But yeah, in some places a helicopter rescue is going to cost you directly and it is not cheap--at Mt. Shasta the rangers were telling me it was about $14k per incident.
Real question, not réthorical. Do we have any other way ?
I can’t think of any.

It's also worth noting that staking pools exist that allow people to stake with less than 32 eth. Coinbase also allows you to stake.

I am lukewarm about ARI. It's nice that clients can know the most convenient time to renew a certificate to avoid overwhelming the server.

However, it is optional, so we will repeat the same mistake we made with optional OCSP stapling.

Only nice clients will implement ARI, but they are the clients that need it the least because if they go to the trouble to support ARI they probably already have friendly netizen programming.

As for revocations, ARI doesn't make much sense to me. If we know a certificate will be revoked soon, we might as well stop trusting it right now. Why continue to trust a certificate that we know is being revoked?

Maybe I'm totally missing the point of ARI.
The broker didn't report the cost basis to the IRS because they don't have to. They only have to do this for "covered securities" [1], which include stocks you buy with cash, but don't include stocks you acquire as employee compensation.

So basically if you have an iphone you can be tracked anywhere on the planet unless you make sure the battery is drained? This is too funny. I still like the iphone but man, if I ever do anything shady I will burn my iphone first with thermite and throw it in the ocean.

Is it worth $2k (or $20k) to communicate to a bunch of new managers that "we, as a company, feel that thinking about how your team of individuals thinks is worth spending money and time on"? The specifics aren't the point -- the demonstration that this is a priority, and part of your job that you're expected to spend time on, is the key. An e-mail saying "hey you're a manager now think about people!" doesn't have the same impact, inherently, and you end up with "managers" that think their job is still to be a tech lead.
My mom taught multiply handicapped kids and often brought them home for observation/further treatment. I grew up sort of thinking it was super common so I just needed to be ready. In retrospect I understand it's wacky thinking but hey, it worked out well.

My parents are getting up there, they are halfway across the country. They’re divorced and a few hours apart.

I have no idea what to do. They’re both healthy and active, but pushing 80.

I guess we need to have some difficult talks. It’s terrifying.
Exactly. Search and rescue missions based on the itineraries, last known position reports etc. of missing hikers alone are incredibly resource intensive. It‘s not unlikely for members of the SAR team to get injured or even killed during such an operation.
"Even when in the sky, the sky itself is an effective insulator that only allows 1/4 of the energy through"

Also, it sounds like brokers are somewhat to blame, because they made comments to the IRS opposing additional reporting for stock compensation:

> ... commenters asked that there be no change to the Form 1099-B to reflect compensation status or, alternatively, that using the indicator be permitted, but not required. These commenters indicated that compensation information is not accessible to most brokers, and extensive reprogramming for both the underlying database and the reporting process would be required. The commenters also expressed concerns that, in many situations, a broker would have to accept customer-provided information in order to track the compensation-related status.

> The lack of a mechanism to communicate whether the basis of stock has been adjusted for the exercise of a compensatory option coupled with a system involving discretionary broker adjustments for compensatory options would, however, be unworkable.

> A broker may not increase initial basis for income recognized upon the exercise of a compensatory option or the vesting or exercise of other equity-based compensation arrangements, granted or acquired on or after January 1, 2014.

Accounting systems that use ML/AI
I just got a new job (Operations) and the Accounting team reports to me.

We use QuickBooks Enterprise, which works just fine for us. But there's a lot of repetitive tasks, especially ingesting data, which IMO would be a great application for ML/AI.

Our Accounting needs are plan vanilla, but we do ingest a lot of data. Are there any Accounting systems that use ML/AI? Any startups in the space?

Not looking for an AP or AR solution, and not looking for an ERP either, just a new QuickBooks so to speak.
The absolute highest? I think they could go as high as $500 and I can still justify it.

Of course, this opens up a huge price window for competitors to occupy so at some point it makes more sense to get something cheaper to get 80% of the functionality. But this also goes to show how much I value that final 20%.

At the price of $250 today, there really isn't any legitimate competition IMO.

"Most" is an assumption. And typology like MBTI is going to be intractable to distribution-thinking. After all, the instrument itself comes from soft theory. The same soft theory now explains why e.g. distributions are not a good lens by themselves.

This is why Big 5 often gets dragged on by people who like MBTI better: It's not really qualitatively interesting to try to work in depth with such a broad and shallow tool. People can also try both and judge for themselves or just defray judgement and use both.
Intermittency means you need storage too. So, you build out storage too. The observation is vacuous.

A renewable grid includes storage. Storage is cheap and getting cheaper.
I generally agree with your points, but cycling power meters had been supported even on some older Forerunner models like the 935 that was released in 2017. It's cheaper and smaller than a Fenix, but internally shares much of the same hardware and software.

It seems like Garmin is missing out on an opportunity to upsell existing device owners on apps. Like if someone sails occasionally then they're probably not going to spend $800 for another smart watch with sailing features, but they might spend $20 to add the sailing app to their existing device.
The integration is everything
And the main problem is in Bluetooth protocol. It barely handless lossless data even in non-BLE mode.
Which drains the battery.
Right. It's not physics (though arguably plasma isn't that well understood but let's ignore that) it's just incredibly difficult engineering and needing to solve multiple extremely difficult engineering problems. In that same sense reversing climate change is just an engineering problem, populating Mars is just an engineering problem, a space elevator to orbit is just an engineering problem, quantum computers etc. etc. ;)
>Also, there are many potential feedback loops that may put us on an irreversible course towards the planet becoming uninhabitable in the future

This seems extremely overblown. The idea that the Earth will become "uninhabitable" seems ridiculous at best: the Earth has been "habitable" for literally billions of years, even when the climate was vastly different than it is now. And if you mean "habitable by humans" rather than "habitable by any lifeform", humans in particular have adapted to an extremely wide range of climates, from frozen tundra to middle eastern deserts.

Perhaps you mean "habitable by 7-10 billion humans with today's civilization and level of technology and standard of living"? It's hard to imagine the Earth ever becoming completely uninhabitable by humans; someone will figure out a way to survive, no matter the catastrophe. But it won't be comfortable like today, and the planet probably won't support today's population levels.

>Lots of people seriously undervalue what homemakers do.

This is a very serious issue with America's current manifestation of capitalism. You have people who are ESSENTIAL to society, EMTs and the like, not even being paid what they would make at walmart or mcdonalds

To say nothing of teachers. I've been saying for years that becoming a US public school teacher is a massive mistake. Now the very same ignorant people who ran their teachers off by accusing them of teaching their kids to be gay or something like that, completely unironically, seem to be becoming only more relevant to the lives of normal people as time goes on. That's the sort of shit you should be afraid to say in public, it really doesn't matter if they actually believe it or even really know what they're saying.

they genuinely believe the shit they see on the TV or are told by Alcoholic bob down at the local 7-eleven parking lot. and now that can't figure out why nobody wants to go to school for 4+ years, likely taking on a substantial amount of debt, to make less than a mcdonalds cashier while dealing with massive political pressure from truly shockingly ignorant people (depending on the state)

I look back on what I remember seeing grown fucking adults say to/accuse teachers of, why would anybody who is genuinely educated ever, ever voluntarily choose to deal with that sort of (in some cases, quite literal) violent ignorance
Undefined. But at zero cost in every case I know of, in a multitude of countries.

iOS 12 was the last release for the 6, which was the last phone cut off from updates (and they sold it for an especially long time). The 6s and 7 can update to iOS 15, which is still getting security updates.
I feel that children have no obligation to take care of their elderly parents. They don’t owe them anything.

I'm very skeptical of any information in this article. AFAIK Google never asked the "how many golfballs.." question or similar. To my knowledge, Microsoft notoriously were the ones that asked that kind of question and then stopped asking that perhaps 10 years ago or more. AFAIK if Google ever did ask such a question, it was even before then.

Further, I've done the interview process with Google and they do not ask anything about personality types. All the information in this article about at least Google does not seem accurate. Overall, kinda seems like click-bait without even establishing how many companies actually do ask about personality.
That's not their bread and butter.
> I spent years hoping for Apple to see the light, allow other browser engines

as soon as apple tried to remove flash, they've shown their hand tbh. While it was generally considered good, the ideology behind removal of flash is the same ideology for their policy to not allow other browser engines.
I m not sure if this is fully accurate though, especially about Japan and South Korea part. Both of them have demonstrated solid economic prowess in the last few decades & if you ignore a few decades of colonial interlude and look back further - they still have had sound economies in previous centuries. I think Singapore , Taiwan and even may be UAE are missing from this list ( depending on how much further back in history you are looking at).
In Australia, you can claim a tax deduction for the costs incurred in managing your tax deductions.
>For some reason they patched one and only one actively exploited bug in iOS 12. They did not patch the bug in iOS 13 or iOS 14.

For a very simple reason. All devices that can run iOS 13 and 14 can be updated to iOS 15, which is still being patched.
You're mocking him, but he was accurate - it is authoritative government, even more so than in the West.

I'd say expropriation of gold was authoritarian, i.e. undemocratic, because it was done by president, not Congress. US, with its strong president, is not a perfect democracy, powerful groups/president can do things that demos does not want.

That's not claiming it was a bad decision or policy. There were probably good reasons for that step, and it may have helped the country.
It won't happen at all, because it would be astronomically expensive, way more than fission, and fission is already not competitive.

So it is all castles in the sky.
I agree but that's not what most people take away from them.
Encryption does not mean it can never be read. Just a matter of time
It's on the order of a few hundred bytes, only happens on the first connection, and is still orders of magnitude faster and more effective than the alternative (no stapling, which requires the client to make separate round-trips to a third party service which has all sorts of other problems).

OCSP stapling is temporary, anyway: just until we get certificate lifetimes short enough to make revocation irrelevant.*

* This is how it should be, but the industry seems to be going the direction of keeping cert lifetimes longer.
Considering a bunch of Canadians are hitting trigger rates (interest > current per month payment) and seeing either 50% increases in monthly payments or request to make lump sum payment of tens of thousands, I’d say that’s not true.

>As a manager, I've found them incredibly helpful for avoiding problems (i.e., assigning the wrong task to a person).

it sounds like you're assigning tasks based on prejudicial categorization of genetic traits (as MTBI claims to be) instead of actual demonstrated job performance.
That and our doctors' offices are starting to call from random numbers. Sigh
I've used strengthsfinder before (after hiring, haven't used it before) and it's helpful for team composition and for understanding who might be good AND also interested in certain things.

Not a huge sample size, but everyone has agreed on the output of their tests. Only in a few instances (like 1 of the strengths for a few people) were there surprises, (ex: Woo under Influencing) but they understood why it was a top strength and how it did make sense even though they wouldn't have chosen that for themselves if they were tasked with picking their top 5 strengths from the list instead of doing the test.

I don't like the personality tests at all. A strong team IMO should have a mix of personalities and strengths and I prefer to build teams based on just a few core values. From that approach, I've gotten a great mix of both personalities and strengths organically.

I could see maybe some teams using personality tests (ex: for sales) to architect a desired team type in a specific industry. Research is all over the place though on what's ideal. And can it be trusted as a hiring framework?

There are many other factors to consider. Let's say 5 specific personality traits perform the best in the aggregate in sales for one industry. But then people with those traits may be hard to retain. They may not get along with one another. They may create a toxic environment. There are too many things that are very hard to measure IMO to use that as your framework.

So I don't buy the personality test stuff in general. I suppose it may be a decent data point as your example of avoiding "assigning the wrong task to a person", but a strengths based approach makes more sense for that to me.
I have a question maybe others here have thought of or maybe done. Both me and my wife are from abroad, but live in CA. We have thought about getting some family members to come and live with us at times, but I am wondering about what about healthcare costs since none of our parents are US citizens. They are all healthy for now, but that might not be for long.
This is nothing more than an engineering challenge, looking at it seriously.

Cooling? an IR barrier in the reactor to stop IR from reaching the cells should solve about 80% of the issue - assuming you can make something transparent at the right wavelengths for the cells - and capable of withstanding the heat of the reactor. The other 20% is already doable with current technology, and we do it from large-scale solar farms to single-family homes - water tubing on the backs of the devices to a radiator or storage tank. Hell, while using them to harvest light energy, that water loop can be used to harvest heat energy, thus improving the overall system efficiency!

While all this is true, one should look it also from a motivation standpoint. Why is Apple doing things it is doing and why is Google?

That thought experiment will help extrapolate the far-out future for both companies and the version of the future they are building towards.
I may be taking trips you’d be uncomfortable with, but the InReach is invaluable for two-way messaging and weather updates. I haven’t needed the emergency service (knock on wood), but I’ve used most of the other things it does. My phone is a much better GPS, though, and if Apple makes it possible to do those two things I mentioned at first without it using much of the battery life I’d consider only keeping my InReach for extended trips.
