> So the library got replaced with a new version?

No, the new library promoted by the vendor was utterly incompatible with our system, being based on totally different assumptions. So the library got replaced by an open-source library that did the same as the original and had a permissive license, which allowed my company to build a wrapper around it at an affordable cost.
Working on a prototype for a thermoelectric generator. While the core generation module is a seebeck effect based solid-state off-the-shelf components, my focus is on optimizing the thermal gradient for voltage and current control and continuous operation (night and day).

A few experiments planned around

- design of heat absorbers and heat sinks

- night and day operation using radiative cooling/paints & coatings

That's a meaningless question because it's tangential to the Communications Decency Act. Censoring content or changing a social media feed algorithm isn't classified that way. You might not like the law but that's how it works based on the plain language of the statute and confirmed through extensive case law.

"Websites and apps must estimate the range of age of their user population to determine whether they are likely to be accessed by teens and kids, and implement measures to protect those users."

"This could mean websites or apps will require users to upload government IDs or require facial scans to prove ages"

"The California measure takes effect in 2024, and gives companies 90 days to "cure" their sites of violations before incurring any fines."

The intent may be good (protect the children), but enforcement is invasive and likely to be challenged in court. What were they thinking?

How do they expect to enforce this law for smaller businesses and app creators that have no legal jurisdiction in California?
Yes, but you’d still mine much faster with an ASIC.
It's not, it's also based on d3 (like Neo4j viewer I think), but build from from 0
In well designed USB port you'd at least have diodes shorting it to ground/vcc.

But they are designed for ESD protection, so while high voltage, not that much energy

The problem is that there is no fuses, while ethernet basically have transformer working as a fuse, USBkiller can hammer the protection diodes till they burn out and then the rest of it gets it.

To me the most annoying thing about gif's is their short length on repeat.

Enforcing an MSRP is bad for consumers.

It disallows a store from passing on savings to a consumer.

Millennials have less money than the generations before them, they do not make up the majority of voters and they aren't executives at large.

The only power most of them have boils down to passive or active rebellion, and they are too busy managing excess grey pressure in most places while said grey pressure is actively voting against them.

Additionally, even millennials aren't technical at large. They certainly aren't technology preactive enough. Not even most developers are.

There may have been a slow-&-steady path to get to a mature state. But given the expectations of tech & vc scene these days, I can't blame the path you took. Good luck with the next venture.

I am glad that DBs like Postgres/MySQL, Sqllite etc got their freedom to evolve and slowly mature before the madness of fast-growing companies caught up to them.
This explains a lot and a cap sounds great!
That's a load of BS.

You're an employee, not a co-owner. You're paid to do a job and, more often than not, your input is completely irrelevant to the leadership.

And as someone who is paid to do a job, not to be a practical co-owner, you should be paid in cash.

I currently work at a 50 people startup... and guess what? I'm no co-owner, no matter how much options I get. Last reorganization was done without my input... and no one will ask in the future. If you think you're anything more than a service provider - you're either in the executive management or deluded.
> Your attitude is incredibly rude and dismissive.

My attitude is to point out the mistakes of succumbing to fanboyism and blindly going with cargo cult beliefs that make no sense and have no bearing in reality. Complaining that pointing out the fact that the high frequency trading sector is built upon C++ is dismissive says more about your personal beliefs than anything else.

> We do incredible volume and felt this was a risk to our customers.

I really doubt you do more transactions per second than any high frequency trading company running a C++ stack. The likes of Optiver are doing just fine with C++.

Just be honest and humble and state that your expertise lies elsewhere, and your choice had zero to do with technical reasons.

There is conflict of interests between U.S. and Ukraine[1][2][3], this nullifies right and morality that U.S. is supposedly has. You treat Russian state as an invading dictatorship, then treat U.S. as imperialistic hegemony.

I'm trying to understand the basics of quantum mechanics and Bell's Theorem in my spare time. This is a good video but it's still hard to understand.

I'm beginning to think that Bell's Theorem doesn't say that there aren't hidden variables, but just that hidden variables don't fix the problem of non-locality. Thus they are not impossible, but just unnecessary.

So far the only part of QM I've really been able to understand is Leonard Susskind's Theoretical Minimum stuff (video lectures & book) about electron spin.

True, it's a shady practice indeed, but signing up and giving them even more information directly from the source is obviously far worse than the fraction of signals they can extract from your friends.

There's no accounting for the peculiarities of social groups, you could say the same thing about refusing to smoke weed or drink alcohol, it doesn't mean those vices are vital, and social media is no different.
This is a common thing for BigQuery to claim. It's quite fast for an analytics database, but it is not a transactional database. Even for static data, the simplest queries on the tiniest data still take 1/10th of a second or so, and realistic queries run in the 1-5s range.

Basically you could use BigQuery to build tools supporting human-in-the-loop processes (BI reports, exec dashboards), and you could call those "real-time" to the humans involved. But it will not support transactional workloads, and it does not provide SLAs to support that. I don't know about this particular feature, I'm guessing seconds but maybe minutes.

> reduce the number of ads being shown and radically INCREASE the prices for said ads

They can only do that if they had the ability to properly target ads like they’ve claimed for decades at this point.

With all this data collection, they can barely show relevant ads and so they’ve simply decided do show all the ads they have

On the other hand it could be the companies mailing you junk with no reply for decades have the ill intent because they're trying to get people into committing felonies (entrapment) with dogshit offers nobody would ever take that are littering the mail system. So if they accuse you, tell them that accusation must be redirected--like mail is--to like a middle-manager in the company doing mass-mailings.

I think the economy is hitting real, hard barriers in resource extraction, energy usage, and number of people that buy and sell. That’s where stagnation comes from.

The real economy will stagnate. AI can automate some work and intensify future technological discoveries, but that won’t make energy any cheaper, clean our environment, create more humans, or make resources as easily extractable as they were 100 years ago.

The real economy can’t grow too much more than it’s current size, at least in the physical world.

* I far, far, far prefer Craigslist interface to anything else in that space. It's clear and focused

Its search engine too - I get things I search for in the area I search for.

For me, Kijiji and Facebook marketplace are awful UI, awful distractions, and give me 10,000 "suggested" or "fuzzy searched" things in random order, suppressing things I'm actually looking for. And I've completely given up on eBay over last decade.

However.

* Nothing is on Craigslist anymore in my area (Greater Toronto Area). Until about... 5-6 years ago, I could find comparable number of photography, computer, music & kids stuff on Craigslist and Kijiji. Today, Craigslist is a desert, a void, an oasis of empty search results.

So network effect wins, as always :-/

> I'm not convinced on this... I think there are pros and cons for being in a top 5 vs a top 50 program.

Yes. That's why I used the top 50 CS programs as an equivalence class in my post:

>> the difference between "unranked LAC" and "top 50 CS" is difficult to overstate.

The US has 5,000 colleges and universities. Not 500. 5,000.

You are absolutely not going to find more than one top performer every half decade or two at a small non-selective LAC or the branch campus of a university system. If ever. I spoke with on faculty member at a branch campus who said that he's never had a single student who is as good as the average undergrad he taught at <top 5 program>. He's been teaching for 20 years. Those types of institutions comprise the vast majority of US colleges and universities.

I think the "rankings are just noise" attitude is mostly held by people who don't even think about the existence of 90% of US colleges and universities. If you consider Stevens Institute of Technology a "backup" as opposed to a "reach", then I guess the attitude has merit. But if you're one of the 50% of college students who get rejected from Stevens -- or the even larger percentage who don't even apply because they know they can't get in -- then the world looks different.
We had a good run with Airbnb, but it’s no longer the guy renting his apartment because he’s leaving over the weekend. It seems like all the offers available now are from people who bought lodgings specifically to rent them out hotel style.

We’ve stopped using Airbnb after a lady told us we should bring our own sheets and towels, otherwise there’s a surcharge of 25 euros per person. We discovered serviced apartments in the meanwhile. Same comfort, hotel-like regulations and, surprisingly cheaper

Update: 10.2 million PPP loans were forgiven. Here's why.

> If borrowers use at least 60% of the loan to cover payroll within 8 or 24 weeks after receiving the loan, they can submit an application to have the loan forgiven.

-----

edit: if anybody can clear this up for me, I'd appreciate it, but what could it possibly mean for "at least 60% of the loan to cover payroll?"

Does that mean that the company has to spend its way into insolvency first, then after becoming insolvent pay out 60% of the loan to employees, or does it simply mean that an employer's payroll has to sum to at least 60% of the loan within 24 weeks, no matter how much cash the employer has?

It seems like the difference between 1) handing out gifts to employers of up to 40% of their 24-week payroll, or 2) handing out gifts to employers that are up to 166% of their 24-week payroll. But I'm not a math scientist.

Either way, making direct cash payments to employers in proportion to their payrolls is as stark an example of welfare for the rich as you could cite. That's like paying money to people in proportion to their total stockholdings, as long as they promise to spend at least 60% of those payments to buy more stock. Even worse in the execution, where tons of the smallest employers and the self-employed were left out in favor of companies with high-powered accounting firms or lawyers on staff.
> [he] described an expanding and self-replicating bureaucracy that is growing ever more expensive to maintain

This seems to me a key piece of the problem. Rises in tuition have massively out-paced inflation while salaries for tenured professors have not seen anything even close to that kind of growth in the same time period. In fact most institutions actually employ fewer full-time faculty than they did 20 or 30 years ago. The answer to the question "where is all this money going?" doesn't have a mono-causal explanation, but an ever-expanding self-perpetuating bureaucracy is a significant factor. And it's not just academia; I've heard similar concerns from physician-acquaintances about healthcare. The astonishing growth of middle and executive managers at Johns Hopkins has been an ongoing topic of discussion with department-chair friend of mine for years.

I think we've barely begun to reckon with the costs the MBA-ification of major institutions has had on the overall welfare of the US public.
Specifically regarding your second paragraph: I think you’re overlooking the market’s ability to value tech stock. If everyone knows Netflix is gonna jump 20% a year for the next 5 years then everyone would dump their entire savings, take the penalty and reinvest their IRAs even, into Netflix. Why doesn’t this happen?

No way in hell am I going to trust a company on any technical matter when they have to cobble their own product together through that many external services and trackers.
I may be in the minority opinion here, but I think the biggest issue was the product constantly changed and tried to be too many things. The product-market fit seemed to be on be "The GraphQL" db. But they really just did all this other complex stuff and by the time they were going in that direction ran out of steam. I don't know Manish personally, but there seems to be a lot of negative sentiment about his management style. He has been quoted as say (to the effect) that his engineers were not as good as him and he would have to go in and "fix" stuff. That seems wrong to me. Either he is a the best programmer in the world or didn't hire well. Not really sure tbh. But I wanted to love the product but it had too many poorly working features and could have de-scoped a bit and made them good.

FWIW I am really excited by surrealdb. I think it is the sweet spot that dGraph should have been.

When drive into my neighborhood downtown areas, I still see 'hiring' boards at lot of places with a healthy % advertising higher than minimum pay hourly rate. At the same time I also over heard complaints at grocery & super markets on how things are getting costlier. An elderly gentlemen was complaining how he used to get 3 items but now gets only 2 for the same price. Even as a layman, I think the high employment rates and healthy housing/stock markets mean there is lot of money in the market which is driving demand which in turn driving inflation. With Fed tightening up interest rates, money may stop flowing into the market yet and hence ease the demand eventually inflation. A likely side effect is companies have no money to fund growth and hence recession (and job cuts etc.). Next one year is going to be tight.

However, its still a stretch to say the stock market will crash, stay flat etc. etc. I think these predictions are more media created (they are excellent click bait) than actual warnings from genius investors. For example, if you follow Michael Burry's tweet it's more of a rant or running commentary (combined with partisan view point) than doomsday predictions.

The bigger problem in my opinion is partisan politics is stealing attention from more important problems. Dems are wrong with the number of freebies being thrown in but Reps are also wrong ignoring climate change (or kicking up the abortion repertoire). The checks and balances thing is not working currently.
Working on a better solution to sedentary health and sitting caused back pain at work. No one posture is the answer, so there is probably an optimal amount of regular postural variation during deskwork that wouldn't interrupt focus. That is what a chair should do for you to protect your health, so making a smart dynamic chair for standing desks.

Had a cycling accident years ago, became much more sitting intolerant afterward, probably made me quit coding as a career.

In something like Java, sure. But Java is to static types as BASIC is to structured programming: the execution is so primitive that reasonable people can be misled into rejecting the concept if that's all they know.
