> Unless of course you live in Russia's fantasy world where a Jewish president can be a neo-nazi

Without arguing about the rest of the comment, Russian narrative sees Nazis as a group that want to exterminate Russians, based on what actual Nazis in WW2 did when they attacked. And this "Jewish president" who banned Russian language, banned almost all political parties and organizations of russian-speaking people and sent an army to punish the rebellion in Donbas fits the Russian definition of Nazi pretty well.
It is common for military forces to wildly exaggerate claims of enemy equipment destroyed. During the NATO strikes against Serbian forces in 1999 they claimed to have knocked out hundreds of armored vehicles but in reality mostly hit decoys or caused only minor damage.

To be clear, I am not trying to justify Russian lies or imply any sort of moral equivalence. Just pointing out that you can never take such claims at face value.

Yeah, I think Fair comparisons are:

* How do these things perform by default. This is how they're going to perform for many users, because if it's adequate nobody will tune them, why bother.

* How do these things perform with performance configuration as often recommended online. This is how they'll perform for people who think they need performance but don't tune or don't know how to tune, this might be worse than default but that's actually useful information.

* How do these things perform when their authors get to tune them for our test workload. This is how they'll perform for users who squeeze every drop and can afford to get somebody to do real work to facilitate, possibly even hiring the same authors to do it.

In some cases I would also really want to see:

* How do these things perform with recommended security. A benchmark mode with great scores but lousy security can promote a race to the bottom where everybody ships insecure garbage by default then has a mode which is never measured and has lousy performance yet is mandatory if you don't think Hunter2 is a great password.

No, you're wrong.

The success of Netflix and its ilk proves that people are more than willing to pay for a product.

The issue is that Netflix and its ilk decided that the format and payment we all agreed on for the content provided was insufficient, and split content and jacked up prices and fudged with the platform to extract more money from people who were already paying.

I would be ok with Netflix raising their prices as they produce more content and offer more services. I would be okay with a competitor or two having different content behind their own paywalls.

I am not okay with having prices increase while losing content and having negative experiences like advertising added to the experience across the board and needing to keep paying more and more to what is it, 10, 12 streaming services each with their own tiers of quality and constant price changes and content disappearing and being shifted over to other streaming providers.

They've taken what should have been a simple platform that is accessible to everyone for a reasonable price and turned it into a hellish pay-as-you-go labyrinth of frustration.

That's why people would rather pirate than pay.

What I would like is a pirating amnesty pay site. Go to one spot, tell it what you've watched (but not where or how) and pay whatever fraction of a dollar per show that the show creators expected to receive after all of the middlemen took their cut and go on with a clean conscience.

I would even pre-buy credits to spend on shows, when I'm out of credits for the month I don't get to watch any more tv. I'm cool with that, but that option doesn't exist and won't exist as long as soulless middlemen insist on pissing on the walls of every good thing until they get their money.

You aren't leaning on your story so much as you are demonstrating successful experience navigating a world that isn't laid out in a way that made it easy.

Retiring from the military? I expect you know deeply how to navigate a bureaucratic system with sometimes frustratingly weird rules. (translation - can work through grad school institutional requirements without hand holding)

Possibly at least partially funded by outside sources? (translation - wait, I don't have to pay the full cost of the student? Has healthcare already? FREE FREE FREE labor to advisor)

Earned undergrad degree while working full time and caring for a special-needs child? (translation - nothing here is going to knock this person off course)

Truthfully speaking, almost everyone has a good story to tell. People are generally interesting to me and I think to others - especially the type of other people you would probably prefer to work with.

Maybe I am being overly optimistic about it but maybe remember that grad school is not a magical place where only super-geniuses tread the halls (internal opinions on that may differ </slight sarcasm>).

You can also set the PATH_DIRS shell option and type, e.g. `blog/publish` if you have a ~/bin/blog directory full of scripts. Easier than an underscore.

I mean, yeah, sd is only a marginal improvement over not sd. It's not a lifechanging script. The differences are:

1. sd makes it easier to create new scripts. Instead of vim ~/bin/blog_publish, writing out the shebang, chmod +x ~/bin/blog_publish, you say `sd blog publish --new`. It sets the permissions and preloads it with a template.

2. Ditto for for other convenience commands: `sd blog publish --edit`, `sd blog publish --cat`.

3. Auto-generates usage text in the autocomplete menu.

4. sd scripts exist in a separate autocomplete namespace from non-sd scripts. b<tab> gives you, you know, bison, binhex, any commands on your PATH. sd b<tab> gives you only your user scripts that start with b.

5. Hierarchical autocomplete is more convenient, if you have more than one level of namespacing.

> Put another way, 200k in RSUs at an early stage company might be worth 100x or even more at IPO or acquisition years down the line. If you were to take that same 200k in cash and invest it in other ways you might be able to have the same return, but it's unlikely.

Identifying a company that is going to return 10000% is difficult. However, identifying a company that is going to return 10000% _and_ getting a job there is also difficult.
With a non-gatekept solution you have two options typically unavailable for proprietary software:

- freeze the versions, keeping using it until you find a better one. Practice shows it can be done for quite a while in many cases (years if needed)

- migrate to the different similar software, or hire an expert to do it for you

Some sort of reporting that affirmatively associates the behavior with a specific compound such as arrests or health records.

I’m actually in agreement with you up to a point, but these policies won’t stop Elon or bezos becoming billionaires. They’ve built businesses that actually put a lot of value into society. They own shares in those businesses, that’s why they’re wealthy. Unless you tax their capital gains, yearly, you can’t stop them.

And that opens a massive can of worms. How does a paper billionaire pay taxes on paper wealth? Do you force them to take out loans? What if there’s a stock market crash. And they lose net worth? Do you refund their taxes?

It’s a really bad policy.
Yeah... so I honestly consider this to be a separate (also horrible, for avoidance of doubt) problem than "moderation"? Like, Apple and Google aren't exactly having a moderation problem when it comes to attempts to curtail CSAM stored on their photos platforms (which has led to their automated flagging systems and then need to scale to the entire world of users appeals and escalation, and then the subsequent concern about "are they going to call the police on me when I fail my appeal?!")... it is more of an attempt to deal with awkward regulatory "think of the children" overreach and hostile American law enforcement. Facebook seems to me to be doing the same thing here and failing.

Imagine a world where social networks were built by people who simply didn't care about "engagement" at all and weren't being motivated by ad revenue... I think you could design an end-to-end encrypted version of the system where no-one except your friends--and certainly not the network operators--even knew what you were posting in the first place and they would hopefully be able to avoid installing client-side filters for CSAM (but, with stuff like FOSTA and SESTA, maybe not?). This model should even work, I'd think, for Twitter/Instagram-like broadcast models (though the legal implications of the well-known "secret" key being published and accessible to the network might lead to various problems; you might have to go fully-decentralized).
For dedicated disk IOPS you should take a look at the EBS provisioned IO volumes, or perhaps use the ephemeral stores that come with some of their more expensive instances.
Interesting suggestion, though it'd be interesting to see how that varies across titles with copies.

A book selling one copy which is never read would have a higher percentage-unread.

Otherwise, as total copies increase, the absolute magnitude of unread copies would likely increase proportionately.

Keep in mind that copies presented to multiple potential readers (as with, say, Gidion's Bible, typically found in hotel rooms) would likely have a greater chance of being opened at least once over its lifetime.

There's also the interesting question suggested: what book has the highest readers-per-copy ratio? And how should that be scaled by total readers? I'm inclined on general principle to suggest the ratio * log(n) where n is total copies produced. That penalises very low sales volumes, but discounts greater total print runs.

I'd suspect it would probably be a romance novel.
I work for a company where the IT and Security teams make our lives so miserable that Shadow IT is very strong, so as a consequence IT and Security has absolutely no control over everything that's going on. There's absolutely no way they can control everything that's running internally, there's gotta be hundreds of rogue machines internally.

If IT was actually good and tried to give us good solutions that would enable us to have standard and secure systems AND still be able to work at the same time, most people would happily comply. But that's not the case. IT support employees sometimes can barely even speak English...
This is why you should generally always try to get admission directly into your major rather than later, or you wind up studying something else at a college you don't necessarily want to be. For example, it's MUCH harder to get directly admitted into the engineering school at most colleges than general admission (undergrad), and then equally hard to switch to engineering from another school in the college after you're already there.
If Sony wanted to end PS2 support on the PS5, my theory is that an easy way for them to work around what is described in the quotes would be to simply issue a new system update which then refuses to run the name of the executable or loading a support library it needs to operate.

I believe it is doable, but the long-term impact to consumer loyalty is another question. Xbox is a peer system and people may move to it and potentially not return.
Right, but the stocks start earning value immediately and cash bonuses do not. Assuming gains are even at 5% per year, and the bonus is $100k (because the math is easier):

With RSU's, you get $400k1.05^4 (4 years of compounded growth)

With cash, assuming you immediately invest the money, you get $100k1.05^4 + $100k1.05^3 + $100k1.05^2 + $100k *1.05

Running those numbers, the RSU's are worth $486,202 at the end and the cash is worth $452563. RSU's appreciated by $86k over the duration, cash appreciated $52k over the duration.

It's the time value of money. Getting it earlier makes it worth more.

> the value a student gets from a school is largely self-directed and based on the people they meet there.

For this reason, rankings (unfortunately) have more value that OP suggests. The "best" students will cluster around the "best" institutions. Does the average student differ muchst between #1 and #5? Probably not much. But the difference between 10 and 100 does, by a lot, and the difference between "unranked LAC" and "top 50 CS" is difficult to overstate.

If you're measuring is "how good is my peer group", rankings are often a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Not so much at fine granularity, but more so if you measure in terms of "20-50 position overlap equivalence classes". This is particularly true in fields like CS, where there are huge differences in curriculum between the top schools and the not-so-top schools.
Lua was used not for speed or robustness, but because it's an extension language - it allows you to reconfigure parts of the application without recompiling the entire thing. Rust is exactly the opposite, and with ridiculous compilation times, to boot.
That's not what limited liability means. It's about the owners/investors/shareholders of the company not being personally liable for debts (court judgements or loan payments) in excess of the company's assets.

Without it, simply holding stock in a company could theoretically expose someone to unlimited losses if the company had more liabilities than assets for whatever reason.

A history of the application of limited liability to corporations: https://www.bus.umich.edu/KresgeLibrary/resources/abla/abld_....

The term "limited liability company" was created much more recently to as a sort of corporation-lite entity that had this essential attribute without all the other corporate formalities. The tax laws decided to treat LLCs as non-corporations unless the elected otherwise, removing one of the major costs of having the liability protection.

Partnerships, the default/unorganized form of joint business ventures, do not have liability protection. Later, limited partnerships were created that did, but limited partners could not participate in everyday business. Thus, the corporation and later LLC were the only forms that allowed managing investors to protect themselves from excess business liability.

This has nothing to do with whether or not Amazon is liable for products third parties sell on their site.

I don't know what point you're trying to make here. The efficiency with regard to what?

Joules out per unit of currency in? Joules of electricity out per joules of sunlight in? PV is great at those even in the dark moist British Isles, which are about as bad as southern Alaska.

Nuclear however, is really expensive. Situationally useful, but really expensive — So expensive in fact that it's about the same as using dedicated batteries (rather than hydroelectric or hydrogen or refurbished batteries) to support PV when it's too dark.

I really like the API and decorators! What I don't see in the documentation is how to respond to events from outside Slack Machine. For example an external message queue.

Yep, sd supports arbitrarily nested command hierarchies.
I like both paper and audio books, but for me I generally feel a bit less engaged with audio, I think, for a couple reasons.

One is that someone else is deciding on the pacing. With paper books, I tend to take a lot more pauses to think things over or savor something particularly insightful, dramatic, funny, or what-have-you in the story. I could just pause the audio for the same effect, but there seems to be an inertia when someone else is reading that stops me from doing it as often.

Second is that it's a lot easier with audio to pay less than full attention. If I realize I haven't been fully listening for some period of time, either because of an external distraction or because my mind has gone off on some tangent, I'm less likely to go back because of the annoyance of trying scrub back to the exact location where I tuned out. This creates a tendency to shrug it off and keep going, which adds up to a lower level of absorption overall.

With a physical book, it's much easier to backtrack and re-read sections, and I'm a lot less likely to zone out in the first place since I have to actively read each sentence. Of course, sometimes I do realize that I've been visually 'reading' a paragraph or two while my mind is actually somewhere else, but I seem to snap out of it a lot quicker with a physical book than with audio, and it only takes a second to jump back up the page and re-read (much quicker than finding my exact point of departure in the audio).
Few come to mind!

- Startup that's running analytics off their production Postgres DB can use this as a gateway drug to try out BigQuery. Bonus for not having to ETL the data themselves or pay FiveTran / host Airbyte to do it

- Replace existing internally maintained sync job / ETL pipelines with this, if you're somewhat all-in on BigQuery / GCP for analytics (BQ is quite popular in analytics because of the pricing structure)
If you use some sort of ETL to copy data from your OLTP to data warehouse you might use this to stream data from your OLTP to Big Query so you can use Big Query as a data warehouse.

>When Baker and his team applied this second network to their hallucinated protein nanoparticles, it had much greater success making the molecules experimentally. The researchers determined the structure of 30 of their new proteins using cryo-electron microscopy and other experimental techniques, and 27 of them matched the AI-led designs2. The team’s creations included giant rings with complex symmetries, unlike anything found in nature. In theory, the approach could be used to design nanoparticles corresponding to almost any symmetric shape, says Lukas Milles, a biophysicist who co-led the effort. “It is electrifying to see what these networks can do.
