I saw my share of Toyota Prius's and light trucks when I was working in Central Asia/Siberia, but I'm not sure it's relevant to the apple car discussion. It's generally thought that project titan is an electric vehicle (and my limited knowledge of the project from their various efforts to recruit me supports this), nor are ruggedized products Apple's traditional market. Offroad capabilities also don't make much sense in the context of a consumer-focused self-driving vehicle given the limited utility and difficulty compared even to on-road usage. It's more of a DoD research area at the moment.

So Toyota makes a strange bedfellow for Apple here.
>The Lambda Calculus really is formally about single argument functions.

It needn't be: https://personal.utdallas.edu/~gupta/courses/apl/lambda.pdf

Currying is just an easy way to deal with multi-argument functions. You then need to add a bunch of syntactic sugar to avoid the issues the the author complains about here (something that Haskell has done). You could just as easily go the opposite route and add a bunch of different syntactic sugar and deal with multi-variable functions directly (as python does).

Favour the ones that openly support coastal policies. You get to keep living where you want, at considerable cost, if you say what we want. Hey, it could even be a paradise in those mountains, put in some kind of high speed rail for quick access to a nice golf course nearby, drum up some business and let some big deals take place there.
Quote: "I then learned this was a interviewee discovered through Upwork - so I asked for all the proof and continued my investigation

......

I'm not sure how this actually pans out if it works. Can you really refuse to use video for the entire contract of the job? How do you get paid if you need to submit tax documents? Do you pretend to be me forever?"

Having over 15 years working as freelancer through Upwork I can answer that.

1 - Can you really refuse to use video for the entire contract of the job? Yes, you can. But only if you're good at your job. 90% of my clients never knew my real face. I only did video calls with the other 10% of them while we were already deep in the project(s) and trust was already well established. I do prefer voice over written chat though so I have weekly calls with all of them.

2 - How do you get paid if you need to submit tax documents? Upwork is great in that perspective. They have a lot of FAQ helping you with all tax informations and if that fails you have live chat too, with support. However, in this case, being the fact it was an impostor, Upwork style of getting paid and filing for taxes are 2 different beasts they frankesteined together. You still get paid under the fake name using your desired method of payment and filing taxes under your real name, which is done outside of Upwork's control.

3 - Do you pretend to be me forever? Not necessarily actually. You can do bait&switch. Bait clients, do good work for them, create a great relationship with them. Then either you create a new profile under real you and move projects there or move them outside Upwork forever. The fake identity sham is only there to help land the clients in the first place. Once you hook them and they depend on you, they really don't care about Upwork's protection and all that, they just want work to be done.
The economics of the warning don't make sense. Why destroy billions of dollars, 10 years of construction, and hundreds of miles of Russian investment for a warning? That's stupid, and Putin isn't stupid, at all. Dogshit take.
What would make sense, but I think be laughed out of the room, is to build back a few of these towns as fortified villages with substantial fire-breaks maintained around them. You could preserve a small town life with abundant wilderness around, but it would probably make more sense to consolidate many of these tiny places (less than 1k people) into something like a handful of small towns of 10k.

But I don’t think the folks who live in rural CA want to live in a European-style village with big fields separating them from the woods, they want to live in the forest and away from other people.

I don’t think it’s wrong to allow people to take risks if they know what they are getting into. At the same time, there’s a point where it doesn’t make sense for the state to socialize the cost of rescuing / protecting people who choose to take that level of risk.

> 1- NS1 along NS2 are (were) shutdown and clearly these were not going to re-open, not before the end of the war - not politically acceptable for Putin, even less for Germany.

No, some Germans were asking for NS2. Here is one article after a very quick search from 8/19:
https://www.politico.eu/article/vice-president-of-the-german...

Another:

https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/europe/germanys-kla...

"Meanwhile, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has criticised German leaders' calls to initiate talks regarding Nord Stream 2. "Calls by some German politicians to launch NS2 for a little while and close it later are totally irrational. This resembles drug addiction when a person says “Just one last time!” without realizing the devastating consequences of each “last time”."

So there is political support for German government if they needed it. And it was in play. Important people were tweeting about it. :}

> Not politically acceptable to Putin.

I think he is not happy today, at all. Russians are supposedly running to borders to leave, the famous Operation is a shitzkrieg, his last move is dig in, annex, and hope and pray Medvedev's mad russian act has convinced opposite number psychos over here who are in charge of our end of world weapons that "we are not bluffing".

Imagine the PR if great Uncle Vodya like father christmas opens the pipes to a freezing Germany ("gratis!" Its our gift). Is the German goverment going to say "Nein"?

To sum, you must be joking. This Nord Stream was Russia's ace in the hole. Now it is gone.
Yup that's what it did, and Chrome still does. After much research and prototyping the CSS JIT didn't improve real world content (especially given the complexity) so it was never added to Chrome.
Same, but mine was a Tandy 1000 SL/2. Taught myself DOS, BASIC, Turbo Pascal, some Assembler.

Got a 1200bps modem and discovered BBSes, got a wardialer, discovered an unsecured university dial-in and started learning the internet. There were no commercial ISPs back then and no web. It was all text-mode: gopher, archie and veronica, usenet, ftp. Finding text files of the old 2600 and Phreak magazines and the Anarchist's Cookbook felt so cool. Then I found MUDs and IRC.

The T1000 could play all the hot games at the time, flight sims, Sierra adventure games, etc., with better graphics and sound than other computers. But there was just something special about playing a text-mode MUD with hundreds of other people from all over the world.

That was an incredible experience as a teen.
You get it. There will be a serious labor crunch over the next few years as boomers continue to retire and immigrations fails to make up the numbers. Maybe massive re-training programs to get aging millennials into in-demand fields? Zeihan essentially says that while the US will still be in the best position it will still be painful and to just accept the pain until Gen Alpha comes online in 20-30 years. I don't buy this part of his thesis. Will millennials produce the number of kids needed to offset their losses?
I suspect many countries know who did it, but think it is not in their best interests to either admit that they know, or let others know that they know. International intrigue indeed!
There are cities that are pro-growth in the sense of not having NIMBY zoning but that have awful urban planning from a transportation perspective. Houston and Atlanta come to mind. Pro-growth perhaps, but certainly not pro-density. I don't know of any city that has both pro-growth housing policy and decent investment in public transportation.

>Good insight about the long tail of open source projects that don't have the same level of activity or interest from the developer community

I don't think "long tail" is a good way to put it. Both OpenSSL and Log4j had millions of deployments and had pretty major bugs. I'd argue it's Linux then everything else.
Spend 1 week advertising on Twitter.

Most of the clicks are fake.

Not some, not “a sizable amount” … no.

The problem is orders of magnitude greater than Twitter says it is.

Anyone who has advertised on Twitter knows this.

Wow, you really took the Putin Bad Guy theme way out on a limb! Completely devoid of any logic or historical context.
I’m not in the US, and playing devils advocate here: but don’t most employers withhold tax at source before paying to the employees? Ie your 30/70 cut would be net after tax.

Or if it was a contracting scenario, wouldn’t the US person be able to claim the 70/hr as an expense against taxes? Since wages are a valid business expense if you are outsourcing.

I use the term wages loosely here. The IRS does not consider wages/salary performed by people fully living outside the US (except US citizens) as wages within the US tax system, and so is not taxed by the US.

So it really comes down to how the agreements between parties are structured.
> "I promise you: We will be able to do it."

While the idea was almost certainly to warn Putin, it doesn't seem very smart to me to have said it out loud.
You're probably a larger target for that sort of thing. Luckily you have a larger-than-average number of people who would recognize your face to alert you.
You don't need to translate English UI for training English because there are quite a lot of person don't talk / listen well even though he can write / read English quite okay.

It's because Reading / Writing can train oneself but conversation must be training in both sides, which always inadequate in some area, such as HK, since we don't talk in English but we can read quite well

> Read what I wrote and respond to that or not at all. You can't goad me into "admitting" something I'm not arguing against, because I'm not in some religious anti renewable or pro nuclear or coal cult.

Did you not claim:

>"coal is dead, killed by renewables." was said by people around 10 years ago and that this referred to the entire world?

I'm assuming people aren't just random Twitter users but actual reputable people.

I have provided a reputable source from 2010 that said that total coal consumption would rise and that this increase is due to an increased usage in the developing world. This is true today, see [0] so the prediction was on point. All you have to do is show us that a reputable source has claimed that coal was dead and that this referred to the entire world. Somewhere around 2010. This would settle the debate.

> You were wrong if you were reciting the popular prayer "coal is dead, killed by renewables" a few years ago. Hopefully you come to understand that and reflect on what that means for the credibility of the kind of sources you get your information from, and what that means for your ideas about nuclear and other things too.

Don't you think it would be really weird if I was supposedly reciting something that I say wasn't claimed in the first place? The claim you mention refers to the west and no real energy expert worth his or her salt would have claimed that this would be the case for the entire world. It's simply not possible for the developing world to do that. It wasn't possible in 2010, when the costs for renewables were much higher than they are now, and it isn't possible now.

I think the International Energy Agency is quite a reputable source? They do research and advice policy makers all around the world.

Also I'm a bit confused... My ideas about nuclear and other things? I'm not following here, what do you mean? And what does it have to do with the topic at hand?

I learned about Cantor and the concept of comparing infinities through George Gamow's excellent book, "One, Two, Three ... Infinity" many years ago. While most of the book's content on cosmology and atomic physics may be out of date (or now wrong), it's chapters on mathematics and Einstein's relativity are still a fun read.

Thank you for this long answer. Actually, I have always wondered why it isn't possible to treat the stream as arbitrary data, so it can be encrypted and decrypted in "userspace". Something like how Firefox Send works, with a key as a URL fragment. E2EE with intermediate forwarding peers unable to decrypt the contents.
Microprose games too. Loved their flight sims, tank sim, sub sim, and Command HQ - the first real RTS. All optimized for Tandy 1000s.
A bit hard to get things to work. In case anyone else is trying, I got it to compile with go 1.19, and you also need a Street Fighter 2 rom. The roms folder needs both an original sf2.zip and a folder named sf2 with the extra files it generates.

From the github issues, the need for a rom may be removed someday, but until then, that's what you need.
I think mourning is the right way to put it! I certainly would've loved that pub tour, too. Hmu if you are in SF lol.

I decided to take this approach because there is no point in getting on someone's bad side. I wanted to tell my story, while still remaining "neutral" towards Substack. Of course I felt many of these things internally, but thats not the important part that others need to hear!
This was a very enjoyable read. I built a nearly (architecturally) identical system a few years back that also had to be scrapped for different reasons. This brought back a lot of memories. The sanity checks, the index reconstitution issues, dealing with the insanity of security identification and tracking through time.

The fun cases are the ones where it's not even clear what the right answer truly is, e.g. company A spins out company B, and then 5 years later they re-merge. Who's time series and associated data is "the" canonical one? The data vendors often try to give their answers to this question, but maybe their answers don't make sense for your analysis.

Then there's the fact that a lot of vendors don't really do point in time correctly. They like to go back and helpfully revise data points for you that they or the company initially misreported. This is all well and good except that if you were trading for real, you wouldn't have known the correct information at the time, and so any backtest based on the updated information will be invalid. Vendors are a bit better now about providing true point in time data sets, or at the very least accurately describing when they are/aren't doing this. But we had a few cases where they said they were, but they definitely weren't.

I am confused. It says I can paste React components into any website, but what do I do with the generated script tags? how can do I paste this into github.com or news.ycombinator.com?

If this is a way to just generate a build for me to paste into my own website, then the messaging needs to be adjusted. However, I do like how simple it is to just get a quick React build together without having to deal with the tooling.
Even if it's not the state insurance will go up for everyone, building materials could go up, etc.

I've been using gmail for my domain (free gsuite legacy) for 10+ years though I'm careful to not do anything that could be misinterpreted on the service particularly through google photos or youtube

I actually used fastmail for 10 years prior to gmail but abandoned it in 2010 or so because imap/calendaring/etc. wouldn't meaningfully sync with my iphone but gmail had full free activesync (which I still miss a bit...)

I still keep a basic inexpensive legacy fastmail account just for some sieve scripts and cleaner smtp than gmail offers...
Or you could just not join in on a US proxy war whose only objective is to weaken Russia. Pretty rich criticizing Europe for relying on cheap Russian gas when the US economy would collapse overnight if OPEC, or even just the Saudis and a few others boycotted it.

1. The current administration in the United States is in general anti-fossil fuel development.

2. The United States is already at max capacity for its export capabilities. There is no incremental supply to satisfy demand.

3. Destroying foreign supply when demand can't be met only serves to destroy demand because it forces the market to move to alternatives (case in point: OPEC and how they try to not let oil prices get too high or low).

It's ludicrous to suggest the US has a significant economic interest in executing some sort of industrial sabotage on NS1/2.
>It is baffling that Bradbury was able to write The Murderer in 1953.

I thought I had a decent grasp of science fiction classics of that era. After reading the story, I too am baffled, both by my having missed this story, and in the same way you are.

>I am not aware of a more prescient bit of science fiction. Bradbury knew how people worked and what we'd try to make.

While not a start-to-finish prophecy like "The Murderer", from Wikipedia's article on Robert Heinlein's Space Cadet:

>The novel contains an early description of a mobile phone:

>>Matt dug a candy bar out of his pouch, split it and gave half to Jarman, who accepted it gratefully. "You're a pal, Matt, I've been living on my own fat ever since breakfast -- and that's risky. Say, your telephone is sounding. "Oh!" Matt fumbled in his pouch and got out his phone. "Hello?"

>The phone "was limited by its short range to the neighborhood of an earth-side [i.e. terrestrial] relay office".

I especially find this part insightful:

>A cadet avoids having to talk to his family while traveling by packing his phone in luggage.
> Or would that money be better spent fortifying a larger, more urban community outside of a high-risk fire zone or restoring forests and watersheds damaged by wildfire, rather than, say, paying for new underground power lines and broadband internet service in the mountains of Greenville?

This question is entirely what the article discusses. Moral, economic considerations are discussed. You should read it.
The Atlantic: Three Conversations with Donald Trump
The opening paragraphs here make it clear that this is a representative of greater Los Angeles speaking about public budgets used for Northern California construction. If anyone has any doubt about the orders of magnitude difference in spending and taxation between those two, lets review:

* Los Angeles Basin estimated population - 13 million

* Plumas County 2020 regional population - 19,790

and for YNews interest, there is something odd about that one county

Here is an excerpt from notes on the Planet Explore 2022 event Day 1:

The first section featured Will Marshall, co-founder and astro-geek. Will's stage performance was not bad, considering he had 20 long minutes of rehearsed script to read on stage, alone to a camera. The one odd thing I would call out is that the co-founder of Planet, on stage, in a perfectly scripted and rehearsed presentation, mysteriously misnamed the California county that "requested imaging from Planet." (the county was named Plymouth by Will, but there is no Plymouth County here.. the real name is Plumas perhaps? for the Dixie fire?) Speaking of the Dixie fire .....
