plus, you can tell who doesn't use git bisect because they prefer a single large commit across 500 files to keep history clean.

As opposed to a series of small commits, that would make git bisect actually useful.
Why? The A380 isn't cost effective and doesn't fit the mission requirements. Let it die.
cant stand the angles here - try this one

American scored 1540 SAT while smoking marijuana at 17 years old; refused to do the repetitive, command-and-control lessons of public school and dropped out; threw middle finger at prestige universities with their publicity, worked at a nightclub in a bad part of town, sought out emerging artists and built art shows and music events

SAT Scores are competition, not pure intelligence.. tons of competitive ego comments with racial implications here .. Extreme intelligence is a wild ride and not predictable.. some sort of "mental health" problems are common right alongside the ability

current USA culture is drowning in toxic social problems around sex and family .. no children means no more of your race.. race people stand up and say "we are winning" .. more toxic side effects are inevitable..
There was a time when it seemed like Facebook was the world, and like it was unstoppable. They hired a lot of people believing this.
The specs are meh, nothing to motivate me to drop using a Galaxy phone...and I doubt it will convert any iPhone users

Not clear what Google is going for here, the Pixel line offers very little

Yeah, I guess you get new Android versions first, but who cares? The core OS upgrades now only seem to deliver notification and UI changes I don't care about or consider a net-negative. I'll get them eventually on my Galaxy phone, and they won't improve my life. Security and app updates aren't impacted.
Yeah, last january I think.
Isn't the point of all this "standardization" crap that has been forced over universities and even basic education that all children and students should have equal opportunities in life, no matter if they went through public or private schools or ivy league universities vs "normal people" institutions?
Google has been completely silent about it, just yesterday another person reported the 911 bug with the Pixel 6 Pro.

One of my favorite YouTube channels, deramp5113, does information/instruction videos about 70s minicomputers. Part way through his Altair 8800 series, he does a mini-series on CP/M. Everything on his channel is worth watching, but here's the first CP/M video:

It's not clear if you're trying to contest with the parent or agree with him, but you are doing the latter.
In Michigan publicly funded institutions are no longer allowed to use race as a factor.
Yep, similar experience, and I was an undergrad 20+ years ago.

In the undergraduate institution I attended grading on a curve was not common outside of Chemistry classes. I specifically remember taking a chem class where the majority of the class failed on a percentage basis, but most people passed after the curve.

What was the goal of that class exactly? To learn something? To ensure people passed and repeated the same experience in the next class which was also graded on a curve? What did it mean exactly to have passed Chem 1/2 and Organic chem? It was taught poorly and you were tested on concepts that were not taught properly and not understood.

I know people who opted to take the same Chemistry sequence at a local community college and they learned way more than we did, simply because the teacher wasn't trying to haze them.
Are you in an enterprise account or a stand-alone?
I have a few contacts, but haven't heard anything or been advised on password-based security measures.

I know for certain that they are ratcheting up their restrictions, so there may be some sort of false flag ( or false messaging, we see that too ) correlated to implementing a security control.
The reason to write an expansion like in the article is that it explains to the reader as we go. For example if I write "Universal Serial Bus or USB was developed..." then we've established what USB is during the text, for anybody who didn't know.

But the backronym adds nothing to blob, the reader learns nothing of value from this deliberately meaningless expansion. It's a blob.
This is hypothetical, as it cannot happen. Building nuclear reactors to replace 100% of energy production would take ages on its own.

And if the plan is to build lots of nuclear reactors, it would better to build breeders and not old LWR.

Did you find this article through "New" or front page?
If you want to do only research than be a researcher. Universities and labs hire plenty of them. Professors do research and teach. It's a part of the profession. The requirements of being a professor aren't exactly a secret so there is no excuse to being a shitty teacher if teaching is literally a component of the job.

The universities that pay their salaries and the students that pay the universities should demand more from their professors. If students get poor grades for not understanding the assignment then it is only fair that bad professors get a poor review for not understanding the assignment.
This makes no sense. When governments go after their targets, they gather all they can as soon as they define them as targets.

Twitter, on the other hand, is known to be a massive censor, just like Youtube/Google.
They tried in the past. They used to have a bunch of PAAS and SAAS services which were shut down and open sourced subsequently.
Your snark lands flat because knowing that you will lose control of your company at an arbitrary point affects every single of one of those points listed. How will I fulfill my vision if the government will take over when it finally gains traction? Government isn't known for their execution. Well, only one type.

I told you: The recipient pays as part of their civic duty. If you want protection under the law for your own grievances, you need to be prepared to assist the court in the adjudication of the grievances of others.

And the practical reason is that poor people have the right to petition courts for redress of grievances too. You're upset because Zuckerberg happens to be rich, so this seems unfair. But what if the startup had to sue someone and needed testimony from someone else to prove their case? You think they should have to pay just to get facts before the court?
I use a pair of Dell monitors with IPS screens (U2720Q and UP2414Q).

I always use as background a solid grey (#808080) and there is no noticeable non-uniformity.

I have tried now your color (#FF6400) on the U2720Q. Because this color is much brighter, if you look carefully you can see that there are small areas at the corners, especially at the 2 lower corners, with lower brightness. Also the 2 lateral edges have a slightly lower brightness, but the difference from the center is less visible than for the 2 lower corners.

However the areas affected are small (maybe a width of about 1/30 or 1/40 of the screen width) and you really have to look with the intention to find non-uniformities. When looking casually at the screen there is no obvious non-uniformity.

For emissive displays like CRT or OLED it is easier to achieve uniform brightness over the screen.
It is huge. I tried the 6 Pro, I couldn't stand how big and uncomfortable it was.
The whole Pixel divison at Google are shamelessly plagiarising Apple. Everything, from the event slides and marketing to the products themselves, are in built in the image of their respective Apple counterparts. Yikes!

At my last company, we had 12 identical Facebook apps working as service-to-service messaging integrations. They chose to have 12 apps due to data sovereignty reasons, separating implementations in different regions. For each permission we needed, we'd record screencasts of all 12 apps and explain how to verify the system works, then submit for App Review.

Usually about 4 would get approved, and the other 8 would be rejected. All for different reasons. Usually it was something about Facebook Login - which we didn't use as an S2S integration. It was maddening.

We'd make token changes to the rejected reviews, resubmit, then keep resubmitting until they were all approved. On occasion an App would keep going to the same stubborn reviewer and we'd contact our Partner Manager. They're nearly powerless to do anything, since the Safety and Review team is firewalled off from the rest of Meta to prevent outside influence.

Funny nuance: when in development mode, Apps can't receive webhook events for wall posts. Only webhooks for Messenger (DMs) are active. We were adding support to reply to wall posts, but couldn't test or demonstrate the feature because public post webhooks weren't available. "How do we proceed?" "Well, you need to use the fetch API to get posts in batch for Approval, then you can use webhooks." Thing is, our platform wasn't interested in pulling posts in batch. Just routing public posts in real-time via webhooks.

So, we built a completely separate App to pull posts in batch and got it approved. Then used a proxy to slingshot webhooks through that App to our platform, bypassing the under-review Apps altogether. And we got them all approved.

It's a joke that Meta tries to enforce policy at the application level vs. API for enterprise S2S integrations. Workarounds "faking" the experience are always possible.

I advised simplifying things by having a single proxy service distributing messages to different cloud regions based on the customer. Or maybe 3 proxy Apps - dev, US, and Germany, as simple middleware shims. But not 12 Apps. It fell on deaf ears. Since I left, I hear with Instagram support and more granular permissions on Messenger, they're submitting 60+ App Review submissions every quarter. With the resubmissions and petitions it's nearly full-time position.

If I ever took another position working with Meta, it would have to be "retire in 3 years" kind of money.
Why does it redirect to homepage? May be because it's not available in my country, but what's the harm in showing the marketing page?
My bet would be more on AR than VR, and maybe it's not the next big thing but the big thing after the next one.

But that's fine for Meta. Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp might all be running out of growth, but they are all big enough that Meta can afford to invest in something that will only pay off in a decade or two, as long as the payoff is big enough. Gaming-VR headsets are just a good way to get the technology into people's hands right now, and iterate on it.
Lol, ex-Amazonian here, please cut the crap. EC2 is infamous for being one of the worst orgs in all AWS. Nasty stack ranking, abusing SDEs on visas, hiring L4s to fire them later, I personally known at least 3 folks that were let go from EC2 (Vpc) and then got into Google and Apple. Give me a break, there is a reason why recruiters have a hard time filling the headcount over there. And on top of that, ton of legacy code.

I think a sometimes-easy-to-overlook factor is that many state flagship institutions like UT-Austin have a strong bias or preference for in-state applicants. Famously, I remember being told that out-of-state applicants to my state's big, somewhat well-known, public university needed better credentials than highly selective private institutions required/recommended . . .
My education only went as far as AP Chemistry in high school but we did no such memorization of periodic table. The table is organized in a way that's extremely informative with regards to ionic charge and element classification. It pretty much is exactly what you say re: learning what the periodic table means. Any high level chemistry class that's focused on such trivial memorization is doing a huge disservice to its students.

The memorization bits come with remembering nomenclature and equilibriums, which you just kinda have to memorize or you're not really learning any chemistry at all. They're the building blocks of all higher level chemistry that come after, organic or inorganic.

Judges HATE malicious compliance.

Best case is Simula can file an injunction along the lines of not being a competitor or not having any relevance and wishing to keep their trade secrets...secret.

Otherwise, comply with only existing documentation. For example, if they requested fine-grained details on metrics that don't exist, then the correct response to that is "doesn't exist".
Yeah, and we’re reacting to how crazy it is that Meta’s competitors are required to divulge internal documents to Meta so Meta can make a case that they aren’t anticompetitive.

> It's not that Meta that wants the documents for corporate espionage

Yes I’m sure we all trust Meta will behave ethically when given private information.
> If you are using their services for something important

But they aren't.

Their URLs are simply blocked by Facebook, who happens to be a popular third-party website.
OChem is a weeder course for med students. Med schools are controlled by the AMA, which intentionally keeps the number of doctors low for normal cartel reasons. It's not about teaching Organic Chemistry, it's about reducing the number of students who can apply for an artificially limited number of med school slots.
I would argue that the university is the customer of the professor and the student is a customer of the university’s reputation. In this case the university’s reputation is now diminished so the students have harmed themselves.
The Pixel 7 is 6.3, so a bit smaller.
You're assuming your point by calling them "real accomplishments". But that's the whole debate. Is being an Eagle Scout a "real accomplishment" or is it a participation award? And if it's a participation award did the kid get it through his own initiative or because he was forced by his parents? The answer to that question is the whole debate.

And this is not a "totally contrived" scenario. The guy is posting his kid's resume on some blog post about SAT scores in another state. That's very strong evidence as to his involvement and importance he placed on college admissions.
At least for Twitter, I think this still happens if you move everyone into a list and only view the list.
“almost no one”

You managed to contradict yourself within the same sentence.
That's what prompted my idea. Though as the other comments said, playing with fire.
I’d say 50% of my electrical engineering courses were this way in a bad semester and it was often emotionally debilitating and resulted in lots of test anxiety fueled fever dreams. And this is after the first years were weeded out and lots of hard working and bright students remained. I think it’s absolutely pointless to do this and is a cop out for those that can’t teach.
If it's not state-run (or otherwise mandated), I think you'll still see significantly unequal access to friends (and family members) of different attitudes and aptitudes.
What are teachers reasons to not giving out extra credit? From the outside looking in, it seems like being against extra credit ensures students will learn less and pass less.
We're going to absorb the legal expenditures as part of our overall expenses, but you can crowdfund us by preordering a headset :)
The only way I could see your plan of offering identical schooling opportunities for everyone is boarding school, ie taking kids away from their parents. How are you going to stop/force a parent from helping their kid with homework?
Perhaps it could it be related to their 2020 incidents? [1] If you have a corporate account then your security/legal team should be able to ask them for more details as they would have signed an NDA.

It's not hard to learn the basics of another operating system, and it's something they're going to have to do no matter what. They'll be learning new software their whole lives. And how would using software that respects their privacy and agency hurt them? I don't particularly want to them to be software devs, I want to empower them to use tools to accomplish their goals, and Linux is great for that.

This describes a pattern of behaviors in which a student's goal is to raise their grade. It can involve approaching after class to discuss an exam, asking for extra credit, asking for a regrading or retaking exams, asking for a small letter grade bump final scoring (B+ vs A-), etc. Students are especially motivated to do this because most future opportunities are locked behind specific grade point average cutoffs.

In bankruptcy, unfinished contracts (such as a contract to buy twitter) are voided unless the trustee assumes the obligation. The trustee only assumes the obligation if it can be used to generate immediate money to pay off debts.
> Also doesn’t this also beg the question as to why non-Asian parents apparently won’t teach their kids to be good academics?

Because they don't value their kids being good at academics.

I've lived in multiple countries. In the non-US ones, people don't brag about being bad at math (even when they are bad at it). As an adult, if you couldn't add/subtract/multiply two large numbers on paper without a calculator, that would not reflect well on you.
As far as I understand, correct me if I'm wrong. You order a burrito, it tells your friends/followers, it tells the ad networks, it orders you toilet paper.
If we look at not only academic, but also sports, i.e. ski, ice skating, soccer, tennis, swimming, ... etc., among competitive teams in middle schools or high schools, the number of Asian students are bigger than what one would expect from their population. You can even see this in winter Olympic:

If this is the case, then the course should be broken down into a bit that can be mastered in the timeframe allotted.
Sounds crazy indeed. I worked at Splunk for many years and was a DataDog customer later. The costs of either are not something I care to deal with.
Extensive test prep can do a significant amount to increase SAT scores, but the test is designed to minimize it.

People do see over 100 point increase ~20 hours of prep, and extensive as in 3+months can push that to 200 though with diminishing returns at the top of the curve. Which shouldn’t be surprising as increasing speed, even just from not needing to read instruction, provides an advantage for most people.
This is so funny because it is completely spot-on. The only word you failed to work into this screed was "rockstar". Hilarious.
It's not the presence of a liberal arts education, it's the absence of a mathematical one (and technically mathematics is one of the 'liberal arts'). I have a liberal arts background, but also a statistics background and reading this is no problem for me.

Reading and thinking mathematically is a literacy the same way reading sheet music is a type of literacy. Just like there are degrees of literacy for reading and writing same with these disciplines. Some people can't read sheet music at all. I can name the notes when reading sheet music, and know where they are on a piano, but, unlike many musician friends, I can't "hear the music" when I read.

Similarly it takes time and practice to "read mathematics". To someone with no practice the notation appears as scribbles. A more experienced mathematician will pause and work through what's happening. At a certain point, you start to experience the same "hearing the music" with mathematical writing.
It's even embedded in the original tagline: "Linux for human beings"
Nope, I work on a team. I guess we all have similar instincts about what is readable.

Nigerian immigrants to the US have significant rate of achievement compared to African American and they both would be classified under the "same race". I think "cultural" groupings would serve better.

Your first paragraph is true irrespectively so I don’t know how it’s a case for or against either side. “People are people” isn’t adding much. However, systems can be put in place to mitigate (or amplify, depending on their implementation) these shortcomings. I’d argue bad institutions make things worse, while good institutions make things better. FWIW, I don't consider institutions to be limited to government; they can be groups like corporations as well.

>inaccessible, dispersed knowledge

I think the distinction is I don’t consider this a good thing. Opaque information hinders an economy; I don’t know how you can claim the opposite. I’d also argue inaccessible information is often at odds with dispersion of knowledge. For example, written knowledge wasn't dispersed until it became more accessible through the moveable type printing press. Making information inaccessible is just a way of hoarding power; that's generally not good for an economy (with some notable exceptions).
That sounds fine. Obviously some memorization is avoidable, but it seems like many classes just do memorization for its own sake - either to give the professors an unwarranted sense of superiority or just laziness.
