There's no reason to believe that the workers there aren't making $15 or $20/hr. Sure, they might be minimum wage, but there are fast food places by me advertising $25/hr for first shift workers and they can't find anyone. The stadiums in the nearest city are fully staffed, so it's unlikely they're getting minimum wage.

It's certainly likely, bordering on probable, that a lot of the people getting tips now that didn't get tips 4-5 years ago are making good money without tips and that's just extra.

For a specific example, I go to a local Subway every now and then, and they advertise hiring at $18/hr to start, more for part time, less desirable shifts, etc. Their POS lets you tip 18%, 20%, 25%, or "Skip" ($0) unless you do custom. I obviously don't know their revenue but they've been in business years while others in the same shopping center have come and gone, so they've got to be doing decent volume. There's no reason to think they're not getting several dollars and hour (e.g. several thousand dollars a year) in tips beyond their salary. It's not because they're underpaid, it's because people will tip if you make that the default.
I'm sorry, this sounds like they essentially grabbed the post-it note with someone's bank account login from their screen, and then been surprised that the person logged in and then Zelle'd their money to a different bank account?

(obviously replace bank+passcode with wallet seed or whatnot)

Because it really seems like the obvious thing would be to immediately move the bitcoin or whatever from the original elsewhere on the assumption that they'd be recouping the transaction cost?
Maybe smart phones would last a week on one charge if they weren't running the fed rootkit? :-p
The law of circumcision was done away with in Jesus. It's sad that many Christians still practice it.
Nope, the banks may struggle to sell the debt, but that just means they're on the hook for it. There's no "get out of jail" card there.
Boards which compete with raspberry zero?

Really? Because that's really interesting, any pointers? That would be for a keyboard controller.
Interesting.

How true is that at the top levels of play?

What do you think the success rate is for online players telling an engine from a human? 1% 99%
The connection between base station and camera is vulnerable to jamming attacks.
Absolutely. This exists. My Eufy devices have on board looping storage. A well designed camera that has battery backup and local+cloud storage would work in any situation except where a thief jams the Wi-Fi then steals the cameras. But at that point you have an extremely determined and professional thief and no security measure is impervious.
It's not on to say someone said something, and put quotes around it, when they did not actually say that thing. Your quote would be misleading even if it only enclosed the words I did say, since you took away the context (you told me to read a whole particular book on a subject, I said I would not -- nobody has time to read every book a random internet commenter tells them to read). But enclosing words I didn't even say in quotes as well to make me sound even more unreasonable is beyond the pale.
Yes, there was a semi-viral video a few weeks back involving a child dummy:

Being supply constrained during a period of rapid growth is the opposite of a warning light.

They build new factories and pump out more and more cars each year. People are still scrambling to buy their product.
There's a lot more than just getting paid that motivates people to shade the truth.
Mathematical Induction in volume 1 is the prerequisite material. The work is supposed to be self-sufficient.
The mainstream developed country view is to regulate capitalism and have government fund big bets and basic research, not dismiss capitalism as fundamentally incompatible with everything we're supposed to value.
That's already the case right now today.
> If the US attacked Canada ... would that be irrational?

No, because the US has the capability to invade Canada.

What's irrational about Putin is the self-defeating nature of his decision making. Both self-defeating for his country, as well as for the stability of his regime which translates into his personal safety.

He's embarrassed himself and his country, pushed Ukraine more towards the West, and achieved none of his strategic objectives.

I hope he is just behaving irrationally because of bad advice. The alternatives are more scary, because then the madman thing might not be an act.
> I don't think he cares about conquering Poland. he's not even interested in conquering Western Ukraine (that used to be Poland before WW2).

Who’s buying that line after columns of Russian troops tried to blitzkrieg Kyiv earlier in the war? Not to mention that eastern Ukraine is useless to Russia from a strategic perspective. They need to secure the Polish gap, the entirety of the Carpathian Mountains down to the Bessarabian gap, and across to the Baltic coast through the Baltic States. That shrinks the Russian border down to a limited and highly defensible size. Putin has long bemoaned that Russia gave all that up when the Soviet Union split up.
Interfaces and the Go way of using them is arguably more important than CSP, as the former can apply to all code while the latter is only needed for concurrent code. The Go talks have many great gems, GopherCon talks too
Which means the feds didn't actually seize anything. A copy of the wallet without the passphrase is nothing. If the feds don't have the keys, they don't have the coins.

It sounds like Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy - the feds declared "I seize Bitcoin" but nothing happened.
The only way to seize them is to immediately transfer them to another account.
What?! A device that works offline in 2022?! Absurd! ;)
It's probably too late for you to notice my reply, but I would look at your total skill set and get into consulting those very specific skills. Not the generic ones everybody has, but the solutions you have gotten really good at over time. Make those things your Value Proposition. Everybody does similar things in your biz. But you do this specific thing that your potential customer needs. No exec is interested in tech. They're interested in your Value Prop. Period.

I've spent my life consulting and am semi-retired now (I'm still more than a decade from retirement age), but I got here by re-inventing myself over and over again as needed for particular targeted gigs. The skills stay the same, and even my title doesn't change much, but the Value Proposition is the only you are selling, and the only thing an exec is interested in. That part changes as required, and always really specific to the potential customer's needs.

I cozied up to other consulting firms and did my magic as both strengthening their services, shadowing under their company name, and adding new services that they didn't have until then, in which case I'm more at the forefront, and not shadowing. Check the ego at the door, 'cos shadowing services makes a lot of money. I used to be on the bleeding edge, but found it far more lucrative to help my customers be there instead.

I stay away from groups that cater to my business area, because they are primarily focused on permanence, and are merely echo chambers for people who do what you do in permanent positions, instead of true consulting. Instead I focus on the peripheral areas - executives mainly.

If they can't sign a cheque, they are not my target audience for interview, or even discussion about a gig. Money is a different game altogether when you aren't an employee for a big box biz. Most workers don't realize they get farmed out for 4 or so times more dollars than they get paid. As a consultant, that money is yours. It pays for the time between gigs when you are working toward your next customer, advancing your skills, etc. It's a lot more money, but you also need to use it to keep your consultancy alive. So I haven't talked to an HR person since I was a teen. HR and most head hunters are about permanence. The big money is where they are not part of the picture.

This will sound counter-intuitive, but I rarely ever talk to tech people, even though my work is nearly entirely technical. I speak directly to execs and people who have authority to hire me directly. Anyone else is just too much work, because anyone who can't sign a cheque is just another gatekeeper.

At 40 it's pretty much an ideal time to use your maturity as a sellable feature. It's pretty much all I've ever done since the 90's.
I consider Google to already be an agent that is working for me. It obviously has its own interests, which are not perfectly aligned with mine. But its interests and my interests in the space of location data collection are sufficiently aligned that I don't object to them having it.
This is true for everyone and everything.
Musk cashed out $9 billion of TSLA stock earlier this year. Now, it might all get sunk into TWTR, but who knows.

He seems to have plenty of cash
That's great advice, so long as you don't have to pay property tax.
No need to `bg` the process. The `reptyr` tool should set it to run once it's gotten ptrace control over it.
"If you allow the devices to access the internet they can access the internet" isn't really as doom and gloom as the parent is suggesting.
For most of the war only about 30-40% of the arms we sent actually made it to the war effort. The rest appears to have been sold off to the black market. That doesn't seem fine to me.

>Back in April, he estimated that just "30-40%" of the supplies coming across the border reached its final destination. But he says the situation has significantly improved since then and a much larger quantity now gets where it's supposed to go.
It's really nice for small personal projects where you are not expecting outside contributions.

I use fossil for my personal projects and git for work.
FreeBSD never ceases to amaze. You can run Linux binaries with the emulation layer, you can of course run many Linux applications through the ports system, they also have a Linux compatibility layer for the graphics stack so they can use Linux drivers, their ZFS implementation is now tracking ZFS on Linux, and now this!

This is something other BSD systems don't get. OpenBSD developers pretend Linux doesn't even exist, while FreeBSD is doing a great job catching up with Linux and doing all the Linux stuff so you can Linuxy Linux your Linux stuff in your Linux FreeBSD Linux. Linux.
I didn't see this mentioned, but is there an interest for record transmissions?
That's assuming he's in it to recoup his investment. Not sure that he is.
what electromagnetic pulse? intercepting a nuke doesn't detonate it early like a conventional explosive; it most likely turns it into a dud.
Yes. That was one of the ways to plug it in to sync. I had one for a while and carried it around in my wallet.
Who do you think is controlling it now?
You're probably looking for multiview photogrammetry. Also known as "structure from motion." https://github.com/alicevision/Meshroom is a good free tool for this, but the most popular one is probably AGISoft MetaShape.
Perhaps you meant isolation rather than solidarity.
That doesn't match my experiences; IME cars do last longer now.

I have owned and spent substantial time driving a 1978 Buick Regal and a 1968 Westphalia VW van.

I don't think that you're gonna see 200K miles out of either of those vehicles. The Buick had about 120K on it and was clearly on its last legs. It's likely been scrapped. The VW only runs because I sold it to a mechanical engineer who wanted to have a project to work on with his children, and it's now a "vintage" toy instead of my daily driver.

I am at about 180K on my 2014 Tacoma and I expect to get at least another 120k out of it before I sell it.
Mark Twain once said that “History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme. We should use the bottom up approach for investing stocks. I don't believe that macro prediction is useful. Nonetheless, we should prepare for the worst because the recession is looming.
I definitely exaggerated, but a great example of the opposite case is CERN. Physicists knew the limits of what could and couldn't be tested with it, but they hyped it up to convince governments to spend money anyway. The JWST is a much more fruitful project, but how many of those are there compared to projects that just focus on getting grant money. We should build more telescopes and fewer participle accelerators, but the grant money doesn't match the need since it's hard for politicians to understand.
I don't use the automatic parking, but I find the ultrasonics quite useful in my own parking, maybe I've been more lucky or just more hyper careful, but I've never scratched the front or rims on a curb. The feedback about the shape of the obstruction and the distance it is away from you is great, much better than my 2014 era vehicle. I would like to see some lower sensors, maybe a single pixel lidar to look for curbs or something, but I think that is going the wrong way with component count for them.

To just say that these features that are pretty standard on any other car at this price point are "coming soon" is laughable with Telsa's delivery cadence. I'll wait for vision based parking, I'm sure it's coming right on the heels of full self driving in 2019 (not here,) smart summon in 2019 (delivered in what, 2021, and the only thing I've seen it do is nervously back out of a spot then try to merge into a surface street instead of pick me up,) The Tesla Semi, Tesla Cyber truck, and now a robot, which is hilarious because they couldn't even get the million dollar industrial robots to work on their line, can't say I've got a lot of faith in some 20k robot from Tesla.

No, they overpromise and basically just don't deliver, why anyone would take Tesla's word for this I don't know.
This is sociopathic rationalization for poor behavior. It isn’t true. If you are a compulsive liar and cheater, perhaps you will justify your immoral behavior by deluding yourself into believing that everyone else is doing it too- but it is not so. We are not all behaving this way.
Limiting eating to ten hours might be a stretch for some people's lives but it's a simple plan that is easy to understand.
TLDR - the study compared a ten hour window versus a fourteen hour window control group (and fasting in between).
Elon Musk is at a street fair, walks into a booth with some knitting for sale. He picks up a scarf with a $60 price tag.

"I would pay $44 for this, but my wallet is in my wife's purse. Can we shake on the deal, then I'll find her so I can pay you?"

Elon and the knitter shake hands. As soon as she turns away, he drops the scarf to the ground, unzips his pants, starts urinating onto the scarf and shouting.

"You failed to disclose that this scarf is now soaked in pee, so I lower my offer to $20. HEY, patrons in this booth! Beware, these garments may contain urine! Okay, I changed my mind. I don't want to buy it anymore."

An hour later, police arrive to find Elon getting ice cream with his kid or whatever. "Mr. Musk, can you step over here with us?"

"Look, is this about the scarf? I said I would pay $44, and hey! I found my wife, got my wallet out of her purse. That's all this was about. Now, will $44 please make you go away?"
The IIHS tests vehicles with automatic emergency braking at 12mph and at 25mph.

When these systems were new, many vehicles were only able to decrease collision speeds. These days, many vehicles completely avoid crashes at both 12 and 25mph.

Even a new base Honda Civic won’t hit the car in front of it at 25mph. (Or a pedestrian!). https://www.iihs.org/ratings/vehicle/honda/civic-4-door-hatc...
It’s a good answer. Another is that the goal of education is not always for practical application. This is one of the most important discoveries of mankind ever, and it would be a pity not to be exposed to it.
Knuth is the poster child for the school of thought that just doing a _lot_ of math problems, especially calculus, is great mental weightlifting and we should make our young students do a lot of math homework. See this interview: https://ia600803.us.archive.org/29/items/conversation-with-k...

I spent hours and hours studying the mathematics book we
used -- Calculus and Analytic geometry by Thomas.
We were assigned only the even-numbered problems, but I
did every single one together with the extras in the back
of the book because I felt so scared. I thought I should
do all of them. I found at first that it was very slow
going, and I worked late at night to do it. I think the
only reason I did this was because I was worried about
passing. But then I found out that after a few months I
could do all of the problems in the same amount of time
that it took the other kids to do just the odd-numbered
ones. I had learned enough about problem solving by that
time that I could gain speed, so it turned out to be very
lucky that I crashed into it real hard at the beginning.

It's important to get down a lot of hours solving problems for the express purpose of improving your mental faculties, improving working memory. So for the finite amount of time you have, what problems do you choose to work on? I think maths and calculus is a great bet. Though I'd rather suggest a young person do Spivak's Calculus as opposed to Thomas' Calculus as Knuth used. You'll notice that most of geniuses we know were spending long periods of time solving problems. I'm kind of scared that we will have less people like Knuth in our people, people who can just go and deepthink and solve _difficult_ problems. If we keep up with this meme of 'no homework' we are in danger.

Germany car marked is skewed towards Germany carmakers. Apart from obvious reasons, car leases through employers are only for German cars.
I saw a wifi camera that replaces a lightbulb. It takes power from the light socket. I don't see why you couldn't make one that also used the power line as a network cable, too. Would require no installation and could be used at your next house.
Sauna seems pretty close, it’s just sitting somewhere hot on a regular basis and is quite pleasant.

Saw a study recently that showed broad, dose dependent health effects.

Personally it really seems to help when I’m overloaded with stress, in a direct immediate way.
They didn't have the launch codes for the nukes that they gave up.
You would think that there would be something more useful to do with the money, like fixing the infrastructure.
They should say they have identified the account. I cant see them having anything else.
Musk locked in the rates in April. The banks who offered that financing are going to take a 100MM+ hit off of the deal going through.
I guess I’m not as cynical. I picked up chess again when I was deployed (I was on the chess team in high school) and have been closely following this drama, and my sense is that perhaps we all admit that online chess is dead, but a return to analog chess is possible and, perhaps, preferable. I know this begs the question of defeating cheats in irl play, but shouldn’t that be an easier problem to solve?
100%. If we’ve learned no other lessons from the last few years, one really should be how stunningly effective the Russians can be in getting their framing/worldview in front of powerful-yet-pliable Western figures.
It really isn't. It's like someone wanted to add protobufs for kernel interfaces, but everything has not one tenth of the usability. In fact it's the kind of thing someone would design who wanted to make it's use in C maximally painful and error prone.

Condos is a possibility. But if the HOA allows a WiFi camera on the outside of a house, then I can't see why they wouldn't allow a wired camera on the outside of a house.
Yea generally I wouldn't characterise the report as being a glimmering indication of the scientific quality of the chess.com cheat detection team.

Even the graphs look a lot like copy-paste jobs from excel, which is fine obviously, but not the sort of thing I'd expect competent scientists/data-scientists/developers to be doing, especially for a big public report where some of the formatting issues are just about readability and basic presentation quality. Like Figures F and G (page 14) ... why are they styled so differently? Same question applies to many of the graphs, which isn't to mention label font sizes either.

Beyond that, yea I'd say good amounts of the data and logic are pretty basic and wouldn't be surprising from an amateur on the internet. The main thing chess.com have seems to be their Strength Score algorithm, which IMO is probably developed and maintained by a team different from the one that prepared this report.
No, I wasn't root.
> China overthrew the government, installed a pro-Chinese president

The first problem is that this "analogy" is not an accurate parallel to what happened in Ukraine. The US had no boots on the ground whatsoever.

There were mass protests, and then the elected parliament removed the president. Later, the people by a wide margin freely elected the current president, who is ardently against Russian interference.

There's not a democratic outcome here where "China" is illegitimately foisted upon the people of Canada.
“Most people aren’t on twitter” is not a valid argument against twitter’s influence. Compare with “most people aren’t CEOs”, “most people aren’t politicians,” etc.

Some people have a lot more influence than others, and the influential people are disproportionately on twitter.

I really like the idea of sourcegraph but the price seems bonkers. $100/month/user is more than I spend on ides, more than GitHub, the same as GitLab ultimate (that I don’t use because it’s so expensive), more than o365, more than windows, etc etc etc.

I want to have source intelligence but I can’t see the biggest chunk of my dev stack to be sourcegraph.

Not a chess specialist, but he pulled out a couple of unusually good moves on a very uncommon line of play without thinking too much about it, almost looking casually. His excuse was "it just happens that I studied this line last night ". This doesn't happen.
I do actively avoid Google for any of their products outside of search. Not because of some underlying belief system. But because the products suck compared to the alternatives in every category besides search. Even searching on Google sucks without an ad blocker.

I could also avoid any one of the other Big Tech companies without the loss of convenience. I could definitely avoid both of the Ad tech companies - Google and Facebook.

Before I get called out, I couldn’t just avoid 1 of the other three because they allow me to exchange labor for money to support my addiction to food and shelter. But if I didn’t work for them I could.
I wonder how many sites would ban you for saying this?
I would be surprised of over-the-board cheating was viable in the long term. Seems like it should be relatively easy to stamp out provided there's a will to do so.
