> So it really demonstrates how much the BTC was benefiting from low-interest rate / inflationary policies.

It's almost like it's not a hedge at all and just another part of the exact same game as the rest of the market.
Price. They do some automatic bidding on the lowest upstream connection thing that keeps things low with that, it's also got a pretty robust system for building things like IVRs and all that important stuff for keeping too many calls from flooding your lines. It's got a nice enough API with support for multiple languages which comes with pretty decent documentation. I'm not surprised they're cutting a part of their workforce at all, they're a very profit oriented company, it's what their shareholders demand.

I didn't even know that AWS/GCP/Azure had VOIP to PSTN as part of their services, I don't think they're in the same business.
They apparently laid off white people at a higher rate than they would have. Otherwise the statement about using an anti-racist lens would be incredibly misleading.
Does iOS allow VPNs? I imagine it does.

I set up a PiHole in the cloud and set it up so it requires VPN access so that nothing between my phone and the PiHole can fuck with the DNS packets. I VPN into it on my Android and get ad blocking almost* everwhere. I've also configured it to only tunnel DNS lookups, so I don't get charge egress fees for all my phone's traffic, which, granted isn't a lot, but whatever.

* Sadly, it doesn't block YouTube ads, but I rarely access YouTube on my phone anyways.
> Yes, you can scale the offense up to the point where most would answer yes to allowing this.

So, you are saying the judicial system should only use evidence depending on how severe the crime is? That is a very poor precedent.

> No they don't. Idk who even talks about this kind of thing.

It's pretty commonly talked about whenever woke people want to tear down statues of historical progressives or when they want classrooms to stop teaching "dead white men" and so on. The whole claim is that these historical progressives fail to live up to today's rapidly-changing left-wing morals and thus they oughtn't be celebrated or taught (e.g., tearing down a Lincoln statue because Lincoln didn't accomplish more than abolition).

> Right, this is currently a position held by liberals and strongly opposed by a lot of conservatives who want to preserve monuments to things that were despicable even 150 years ago.

Yes (for some value of "a lot of conservatives"), but again I don't know why you keep bringing conservatives up when we're talking about woke progressives and liberals. Similarly, I don't know why you're bringing Forrest up when we're talking about presentism.

> Those are the people in in power who are sending the signal that explicit racism is still very much prevalent in the halls of power and require explicit counteractions like DEI.

DEI doesn't actually work though[0][1][2][3][4], and woke progressive politics are driving the resurgence in right-wing identity politics, as liberals predicted roughly a decade ago ("fixating incessantly on everyone's racial identity is going to strengthen right-wing white racial identity", "left wing illiberalism is going to legitimize right wing illiberalism", etc). In addition to increasing the amount and intensity of anti-minority racists, woke progressive politics on things like policing have driven crime rates (especially violent crime rates) through the roof disproportionately affecting minority communities.

If you want to minimize right-wing racism, you have to minimize all racism--in other words, you want liberalism, not left-wing illiberalism.

This anti-racist non-sense is some of the most actually racist policies I've seen put forth in decades. If this is the singular means by which they decided who to fire - they are being explicitly discriminatory and should be sued.
Totally opposite of my experience. I’m just describing mine for an alternative not to be combative or attempt to lessen yours.

I’m mixed and depending on many factors some think I’m white and others know I’m brown (certainly more brown than white folks). Typically, it’s only white people who believe I’m white (which is racist still even if they mean well). The weird thing is, truly racist hateful white people definitely know I’m not white. Like that’s how I really even found out I wasn’t like my white friends, as a child, literal fucking Nazis made that clear to me through violence.

So I’m on the other side of this coin seeing: “they didn’t lay off people because they weren’t white enough” not that people who were laid off had it happen because they are white.
So of the 29,800,000 other businesses "without a CEO," how many of them still have one person making the majority of the decisions? I'd venture to say 80-90% of them. And how many of the largest, most economically successful companies have no CEO? Zero.
I have suggested many times to the people who demo their stuff at the farm for the agbots to use magnetic force for stuff we do with elbow grease… to park, for docking and attach/detach implements onto the tractor etc.

I am not an engineer and so I only did a rudimentary drawing. I didn’t have the numbers either. But I still intuitively gravitate towards magnets. For some reason, when making big agbots, this is no big deal, but when we make small bots for small acreage farms..especially for women(that’s what I am interested in …I am not looking to automate an already optimized combine).

Think about it..women, elderly, the physically challenged..people who normally have to wrestle with big machines for daily tasks will be able to do the difficult tasks with ease. It’s not a big deal for farm hands but big strong manly man farm hands are not using agbots for farming. Single operator farms run by women like me and plan to keep them going till we are old and frail are the ones who look to tech for assistance.

I have been firmly put in my place as a physics ignoramus… it may be a dumb idea but it’s seductively alluring for sure..I love magnets…we don’t use them enough.

I still feel that this is unexplored. Fwiw, hybrid and electric cars use powerful magnets for their brakes. They are used on tracks like at Disney maglev, baggage handling systems, people moving systems and anything that moves as long as there is no acceleration.
those people (where I was) also loudly predicted (and lost real-money bets) on the trading floor that Obama was definitely coming for our guns and that mass shootings were all false flag operations to justify seizure of personal firearms.

The privacy and "surveillance" aspect only comes into play because these large platforms can pick and choose who they allow on their service, denying end users access to privacy protecting services.

I use some of these services on big platforms. Right now, I do not see a need for legislation to fix the problem. I hate to see more legislation and regulation in general. Duckduckgo and Proton are doing great. In twenty years it is totally possible that they become the next Apple or Google. They can create the competition and allow users to make the choice. I would love to see a ProtonPhone.
This does fit with layoffs I've went through. Decide who to lay off first, and then the framing is done later.

My guess is the sex/race/etc metrics of the layoff "looked OK" by coincidence, and someone wrongly thought it was a good idea to call out

I mean call it "scam proof" if you want to be pedantic?

Point is, if you want to make sure you're not scammed by a forged cashier's check, you can easily do so. You can protect yourself from being scammed by a forgery, so it doesn't seem unreasonable to call it forge-proof.
According to Melinda Gates, Bill Gates' relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was a significant factor in their divorce.

Would Jeffrey Epstein and the bad he did in the world exist without Bill Gates (ignoring 'butterfly effect' like questions that we can't answer)? Yes.

Did Bill Gates' relationship with Jeffrey Epstein represent an incredibly poor ethical decision? I can't say personally, I don't know the extent of it and who knew what when, but the fact that it was a significant factor in ending a 3-decade long relationship looks pretty damning IMO.
This is an extremely poor venue for this type of question - the answers are all over the place and mostly unhelpful (printer drivers in Linux almost never involve a custom kernel driver). You might have better luck on Arch Linux forums of all places.

What you’re asking for probably won’t be low hassle compared to just running the 32 bit usermode “driver” - which should run fine on a 64 bit system with some packaging help.

Ask yourself, are you trying to use the damn printer or you want a possibly educational rabbit hole to go down. Even if you sniff the USB (you can simply use pcap/wireshark) what are you expecting to see? It will likely be Canons proprietary raster and control format. Reversing that from the bus alone will be an enormous amount of work. I’ve written proprietary “WinPrinter” printer drivers with the spec in hand and it’s still not trivial.
I always thought that it's simply because as you turn left/right, the bike will fall to the left/right, and the acceleration delivers an outward force that levers the bike up against the friction of its tires (and disappears once the bike is vertical) i.e. the same thing that keeps bikes vertical and straight by themselves as long as they're getting power. That being said, I'm a rider not a thinker.

Counter-point is that when a customer reports a problem I don’t want to have to say “can you try that again after I enable logging”.
It's not "reverse racism", "normal racism", etc; it's just racism. Putting a modifier on the word to make it seem "different" doesn't do the word justice. It has nothing to do with "privilege" or lack there of as it's purely discriminating based on race alone.
> Do you think your pricing is sustainable?

I think you're kind of missing the point. Most non-professional artists (which there's a lot of!) won't need to come close to the break even point. When I was doing modeling and speed painting in school, I probably used about 80 render hours a year on our farm. I never "went" professional, but I can imagine that smaller shops probably aren't spending that much time doing deliverable renders. I bet a lot of small shops with a small farm under the desk are going to sign up to be providers for this as well.

Not to mention, you're talking about one GPU :) That's very slow. You really need to consider that for complex scenes, having twelve GPUs running for five minutes is way more convenient than one GPU running for an hour. Now, suddenly, that changes the math significantly - you're talking about buying 4x gpus (and the "sleds" required to run them - another $600 or so).
also correlation doesn't equal causation, the Overton window, etc

Could you recommend some texts responsible for the change in scope?

One aspect I don't want to see go away is "configuration goes in the app container"... basically, if you have a datasource, define it at the app container level, then the application just requests it by name, not caring what it's actually connecting to.

Happy to see acceleration of these API definitions. One thing I miss is having a "big picture" plan for all of EE APIs. It'd be really nice to have _Everything_ be defined as a CDI portable extension for instance.
> Affirmative action in college admissions and hiring has been a thing at least since the early 90s.

1969 iirc for college admissions and federal government contracts (and maybe federal government hiring).

Interestingly, the 90s are when some states, like California in 1996 (prop 209), banned affirmative action in admissions.
This line seems to be referenced a lot in these comments:

> Layoffs like this can have a more pronounced impact on marginalized communities, so we were particularly focused on ensuring our layoffs – while a business necessity today – were carried out through an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression lens.

Sounds like they are taking steps to make sure whoever was chosen for layoffs were not chosen for racist reasons.

But so many comments are making the leap to they are targeting white people for layoffs and claiming this layoff is racist against white people.

For example this comment:

> People have lost their damn minds. This is actual institutionalized racism.

and this:

> I consider myself very ‘liberal’ per American standards (pro abortion, pro lgbt rights, pro racial diversity and acceptance), and this to me screams of woke culture gone wild. Looks like anything can be weaponised.

You can find more.
Well, it's illegal to discriminate on the basis of race (a protected class). So I'm surprised they would explicitly state that as a goal.

Guess they figure no white/asian person is going to file a suit on racial grounds.

The issue isn't the existence of intermediary routing, it's the export of data outside the EU by an EU site.

A German resident that wants to access Google or any other US site is fine. The packets are allowed to exit the EU because that's what they asked for.

Using Google Fonts means that your EU users have to access Google, a US company, in order to read your site. Most browsers are configured to do this automatically and opting-out of that would be time-consuming and break the whole web. And using Google Fonts gives Google the unprecedented ability to snoop on third-party sites. Yes, they have promised not to do this, but their host government has also promised to break Google's promise for them.

Taking that same logic and applying it to intermediary routing, the only time in which you'd have a GDPR export case is if you tried to access an EU website and your traffic was rerouted into the US or China. Which actually happens way more often than it should.
News like this is just a lightning rod in online forums for "haters" - people who have some axe to grind and show up with views that this information is less to have informed and more to have provided a soapbox for.

Many of our early hardware providers (hosts) are crypto miners, as they often have many graphics cards. As a result, we pay our hosts in crypto in order to attract them to our network. Our software, rentaflop miner, doesn't behave like a normal miner, however. Its goal is to take existing cryptocurrency miners who mine currencies like Ethereum and give their hardware more useful work such as rendering.
Just as there is bias in hiring, there can be bias in firing. Effective leaders recognize this and put systems in place to minimize them. Being attentive to those dynamics is especially important in times of stressful decisionmaking, when it’s tempting to take cognitive shortcuts.

Claiming it means “only fire white people” is not accurate.

Because the rudder on the B-52 is too small to maintain lateral directional control with an inoperative outboard engine in a 4-engine configuration at takeoff power/airspeed. Go google for some pictures, on a B-52 it is less than 10% of the span of the vertical stabilizer, compared to more than 25% on a 747.

And if the rudder were made large enough to maintain directional control, the loads in the aft fuselage would be large enough that the aft fuselage would need to be re-designed.

- Why did you choose your own custom serialization format instead of using something universally supported, like JSON? It's literally more effort for you and everyone else involved for zero benefit.

Logging is different than metrics. Metrics should tell you if a problem has happened in the past.
Basically two things:

1. It was better than the other stuff I had access to at the time. This is due more to the poor quality of the other stuff I had access to at the time than any benefit of Turbo Pascal, but it still mattered.

2. There are pointers in it, but you aren't forced to use them for simple programs. Having encountered pointers early is a huge leg up when it comes time to work with something like C or assembler. Being forced to use them (as in C) makes the learning curve really steep. Something like Pascal, where you have pointers but you aren't forced to use them for the sorts of program a beginner will tend to write, seems to give both benefits.
Unlike the U-Force, the power glove actually worked. By that I mean it's ability to track hand and finger positions in space worked really well given how it was designed and buildt. But aside from a single game (Super Glove Ball) no games ever supported anything other than it's controller emulation modes which were absolute junk and made worse by the terrible and unergonomic way it was built. While everyone continues to bemoan the Power Glove as a useless and failed product, I continue to view it as an excellent technical achievement that failed in all other areas. How dissapointing.

When I was about 12, I got a cheap powerglove for $20 from a used games place after they were all cast off as useless. I took all the guts out of it and sewed them into a golf glove to make it into a much less cumbersome device. I interfaced it through the PC parallel port, and was able to get it talking in its high resolution mode. That was really pushing the limit of what I could do at the time, so I never got much further than having a wireframe hand floating around the screen, but it was pretty impressive. I still have my construction somewhere!
