Yes, but a key development in carburettor design was an 1880s patent by Maybach and Daimler, based on the principles of an atomiser as used for perfume.

Well, as a contractor I pay one third of the taxes I would pay as an employee, so much less waste.
Maybe I’m an anomaly, but as somebody whose been doing a ton of pandemic DIY home projects, I’ve been at Home Depot and Lowes hundreds of times over the past 2 years, and I can’t think of a time where they said something was in stock and it wasn’t, or wasn’t where they said it would be. I’m 100% confident the site has never given me an aisle location for an item stored on the top shelf where they do bulk storage and need employee help.
Looks great at first glance, but as far as ctrl-f can tell, there is no login and I assume no ability to post / reply, and no respect for noProcrast settings.

Any interest in adding logged-in-user effects?
No lawyers were harmed in the execution of this restructuring.
The cost to "punt" is zero, and it is what we are doing today. It is what we will continue doing until there is a perfect magical technology solution with no side effects and very low costs. Something like a 100kW power plant that runs 24/7, creates no emissions, requires no fuel or maintenance, and can be set up in your backyard for $99.

There is no crisis coming that will be severe enough (in the developed world) to change this. Politicians don't care, because people don't care. Climate change doesn't even make the top 10 priorities of most US voters. Not even the people in Florida whose houses will be going underwater care.

I wonder how long we will be waiting for easy button-press perfection with no downsides?

I wonder how dire the consequences of our waiting will be?
Well, he had 3 passports, 2 russians with various kinds of visa, and one israeli. And lots of images were encrypted. Which tourist will encrypt his images?

I don't think you understand FCC rules about communications at all. You can't just freely snoop on someone's cell phone call because you are just receiving. There are all kinds of regulations around reception.
Because the airline industry isn't too keen on pilots reporting safety issues. Fear of retaliation would stifle reporting if anonymity could not be ensured. This has nothing to do with 5G.
Is there a list of these word combinations?

In German you have hundreds of those (incl. "eiskalt" - ice cold and "hundemüde" - dog tired) but I failed to find a list -.-
The contention from his lawyers was that no other libel case again a media company resulted in them having to turn over as much data as Alex had to. That he turned over multiple gigabytes of data.
So to say he "ignored discovery" is probably not what happened here.
Just the fact that he sat through 10 days of depositions, imagine getting interrogated for 10 days. Has to be close to torturous.

Turning over all your email/phone data, your financial records, email and phone data from all your employees, and still being asked for more and more. I doubt the NY times, or CNN would ever be forced to turn over all their employee emails in a libel case.

Eventually he wasn't going to able to turn over something. For example he may have not had google analytics to his youtube channel that youtube took down.

You yourself might assume that Alex was going to get a fair trial if he cooperated more with discover. But is that even a reasonable assumption. His own lawyers may have know that this was a political case he was going to lose no matter what, if the discovery process was already unusually intrusive.

The EU Portability Regulation
I hired a coach to help me write a book and purchased coaching throughout running my own business for 15+ years.

I like Brad Ferris, Eric Maisel, and Alan Weiss.

I’ve also coached founders and execs in all size orgs.

Drop me an email if you’d like to talk through how I’ve used coaching and how I’ve coached.
I am not sold CO2 is causing the warming anymore. CO2 is heavy and so falls to the ground if cool. Adding more trees and vegetation on the ground near cool areas should do the trick.

Methane is probably more of a contributor. And blocking the sun is not a real solution. It has the potential for catastrophic changes like less vegetation.

Plus there are studies on global dimming. More pollution leads to global dimming which leads to less evaporation which leads to less clouds cover.

As a matter of fact, global dimming is better studied and should be a topic before conducting this research
That would only be possible if they started with version -10!

Why do we still have to fill the database ?

This used to be a task for word vectors woman - man + king = queen

But thinking more about it, isn't it a task for GPT-3 now ?

You write your input prompt with some random known example and you ask the last one for completion.

"very + energetic = spirited \n
very + nervous = shrinking \n
very + arrogant = brazen \n
very + upset = fuming \n
very + wet = "

It would be fun to be able to apply multiple times very to a word to see what you get, and maybe trace a Dynkin diagram of the English language.
Regulation has more than one dimension.

We are not limited to talking about 'weakening' or 'strengthening' regulations. We can talk about making saner rules, too.
I have an Elgato Cam Link 4K and it's a pain to use with my Sony camera and M1 MacBook (webcam scenario).

I find that the card needs an entire USB _bus_ (not port) to itself to function without the stream freezing regularly - even on 1080p. This means I can't connect it via my thunderbolt dock (CalDigit Element Hub).

Does anyone know if this open implementation would have the same issue?
The Wright Brothers didn't come up with the idea of the airplane at all — people had been working on it for over 100 years.
We are in this situation because the FAA is ignoring reality for some 50 years now. They think just doing nothing means nothing bad can ever happen; well, reality just caught up with them.
There employment contract probably had outside activities restrictions that mandated other employment be approved by the company (these are, u fortunately, pretty common at big U.S. companies)
Going through the process to type certify the Max as anything other than a 737 would’ve been far more expensive, slow and painful for Boeing and all its customers because of how slow and difficult the FAA is.

They added the MCAS because they didn’t want the Max to be a different type, which meant starting the certification process from scratch. They were able to self certify precisely because it was a 737 type.

Yes - there were many issues that lead to the accidents and you can’t really point to just the one thing; but ultimately it did boil down to a culture at the company created by the environment it operates under.

I’m not defending Boeing here - if anything, I’m more upset at them as they had the engineering will and talent, the political and financial backing to make meaningful changes to the regulatory environment and make aviation safer as a manufacturer - but they chose greed.

Lastly, that’s nowhere near what I said but I can see how you can get to that conclusion. I’m an aviation enthusiast and a Pilot (feel free to go through my post history) - and it’s not a question of weakening regulation; it’s a matter of streamlining ways to get new technology certified faster - it only took 3 decades for the FAA to give the STC for unleaded gasoline etc etc.
Microsoft Office 365 email encryption could expose message content
Well their companies bought defective equipment, and now wants someone else to pay but not using a resource that the airplane companies are using for free.

I see 3 solutions:
1: shut down 5G.
2: Ground airplanes with defective equipment
3: Make the airplane companies pay for the spectrum that their defective equipment needs to operate.

Option 2 would satisfy flying safely and not put externalities on companies that had no fault in this. 3 also would but would not be very efficient.
I have a friend who works in Oracle Cloud, he convinced me that it would be good and that there was a "forever free" tier to try it out.

I had a really really bad experience with their cloud relating to billing, they are still chasing me for it, basically they forced me to pick one of two "shapes" and both shapes were paid. I should have had alarm bells ringing when they asked for billing info.

I saw the payment on my card and tried to shut everything down, it was something like $80 which for me was a lot at the time, but even when deleting as much as I could something remained and it was still charging me $80 every month.

I'm not stupid, I use cloud's professionally, so I'm not sure what I did wrong.

Essentially they kept charging me and I cancelled my debit card, which caused them to finally shut down my account and then they put the outstanding amount ($160~) to collections.

I can definitely be in the wrong here, but I really did try to give them a shot and all I got was bitten, which is literally what everyone says about Oracle.

So, no, don't give them a chance, they are trying to rob you.
Ah, didn’t understand that. Thanks for clarifying!
Baadal- browser IDE with integrated back end hosting
Baadal provides a VS Code like browser IDE with built-in relational databases, file storage, etc. You can quickly start a NodeJs, Django or similar backend project in it. Once your business logic is ready, you can replicate your dev environment into a fully managed production environment without manual intervention (i.e. spinning up servers, permissions, security, etc.).

Whenever I started on a new web project, I found myself spending time on things that didn’t provide any business value. Things such as:
1) setting up the local environment on my laptop, installing multiple software and integrating them in code.
2) researching and learning about Cloud technology on Youtube, blogs & docs.
3) trying to replicate my local environment to prod in Cloud through a trial & error process.

That’s why I started building Baadal. Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
I think the sentence can be read both ways (which is arguably worse): it's either "limit it to once a sentence, or limit it more" or "limit it to (once or more)".

Which goes to show that to communicate clearly a well-thought-out sentence structure is more important than fretting over the exact word to use.
I recall getting into trouble at school for (probably argumentatively & disruptively) pointing out occurrences of 'said' in published works, which is the word I remember being taught not to use more so than 'very'.

They wanted every bit of dialogue to be broadcast or yelled or shouted or explained or cried and so on. If you actually read something like that it's bloody tedious, unless you're going for Homeric I think the better advice is to simply say 'said' more often!

No the altimeters are sensitive to frequencies outside their band. So 5g transmitting inside its band causes the altimeter to malfunction.
An important factor seems to be precision engineering. I saw the point made in The Perfectionists: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World by Simon Winchester, where they argue that while all the science and experimentation was there, it wasn't until precision parts were widely available that steam engines really solved all their problems and became viable

When a program needs 3 build systems to build (ninja, meson, make) is probably a manifestation of exuberation.
Sure but all of those come after the safety thing, right? We wouldn't want the most cost effective and innovative option to be chosen if it's unsafe?
> Those massive investments are made in the hope for return, not the current elected people’s green goodwill

Could you please share the evidence you have of the motivations of the elected people? Anyone can make guesses and it would be easy enough for me to come up with a list of reasons that your guesses are wrong. I'd prefer a more evidence based approach. Lacking evidence, guesses like this can be ignored.

I'm also not sure why the motivations are even important if the end result is renewable energy, and especially energy that is more carbon neutral than burning fossil fuels.
Thank you for taking the time to explain. I now get it. SBCL includes the compiler in each binary and this is called incremental compiling. That explains the expressiveness. It is kind of like a JIT when needed. Compile everything you can AoT, leave dynamic parts to runtime compilation. It makes perfect sense. Thanks .

I guess the difference is that in an interpreter you don't go down to assembly, you parse and run stuff. The moment you cross the line to generate bytecode/machine code or transpile into a different language you get a compiler.
Documents Confirm Israelis Poisoned Arab Wells in 1948
Re. handling failure, we leave that up to an application/framework layer decision. When the backend is used for program state, the common approach is an auto-save loop that persists state externally (asynchronously) on a loop. If the backend is only used in a read-only way, the approach is to just recreate it on failure with the same parameters.

In general, Plane backends are meant to be used with thick clients, so there’s also the option to treat clients as nodes in a distributed system for the purpose of failure. If the server goes down and is replaced, when it comes back up, the nodes could buffer and replay any messages that may have been lost during the failure. Over time as we see patterns emerge, we may create frameworks from them (like aper.dev) to abstract the burden away from the application layer.

Time series metrics are exposed through Docker’s API, collectors for it already exist for various sinks. We will soon be sending some time series metrics over NATS to use internally for scheduling, but the Docker API will be better for external consumption because the collector ecosystem is already robust.

Resource caps can be defined at “spawn time”. They are not expected to have similar consumption, but the scheduler is not yet very smart, our approach currently is admittedly to overprovision. The scheduler is a big Q4 priority for us.

Draining currently involves terminating the “agent” process on the node, which stops the drone from advertising itself to the controller. Traffic still gets routed to backends running on that drone. We have an open issue[1] to implement a message to do this automatically.

I still use this strategy, though these days, I primarily use Mosaic and Netscape for testing.

I tend to browse without JavaScript enabled, except for places I already trust to not abuse it. And if there is anything blocking me from accessing the page, such as a modal dialog, a cookie notice, a survey, a prompt to sign up for the newsletter, I close the tab.

Over time, I have found that type of rude lack of consideration for the reader's cognitive load and ability to correlate highly with low-quality content that is a waste of my time to read, so this practice also saves me a lot of reading time.

And every day, my Internet gets better and better.

I like the term "featurism", I'm going to try to remember it.
This thread proves yet again, that learning computers also makes you a sharp economist
> I guess also with the vaccines recently lol

The only mass fraud uncovered was supporting therapeutics, not vaccines, which work exactly as well as they are claimed to. (Go ahead, link the BMJ report about Pfizer, where shoddy practices were reported at a company operating 3/153 test sites).

> I really don’t think we’re as advance a species as some of our ambitions might lead us to think.

Well…
>Does a browser really have to be so complex that it warrants updates more often than the very sites that are being browsed? Contrast this with the design of idk MP3: a relatively simple and ultra-stable decoder app with a large variety of backend pipelines that can create MP3s.

The problem is the recent trend that everything has to be a web application. So browsers aren't just to access information anymore, but literally to do everything else too. I personally don't agree with the web application trend, but this is the reason why a browser is so much more complex compared to an MP3 decoder: the decoder has to do a single thing, the browsers have to do more and more things.
To be fair, you can't use Fabrice Bellard as a counterexample because he isn't human -- he is a time-traveling AI from the future endowed with alien superpowers.

But, other than that, you pretty much stomped all over GP.
bessels.jl only does fixed precision (most of the effort has been in Float64 and float32) currently, so it's not fully comparable. if you want to see state of the art arbitrary precision, check out ARB which has quite good implementations (they're what we test against to check accuracy)
Fossil fuel companies knew about climate change and deliberately spent decades obfuscating the issue and warping discourse.

The audacious PR plot that seeded doubt about climate change: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-62225696

Etc, etc, etc.

So, blaming people for having stupid opinions that various companies spent billions injecting into the discourse seems misguided. At best.
I would like to take the other side of that bet.
Musk's SpaceX says it can't pay for satellite in Ukraine, asks Pentagon to pay
I'm totally lost on why you would think that?

Memory breaks.

I had my share of broken memory too. In data centers you see this regularly.

Those are just two different stories. Nothing really connection them to make a scandal out of this
Yet another case for working remotely?
Technically correct.

There is a difference, though, between maximising profit and delivering value for everyone.

A corner store is technically optimising for profit, but they also ensure value so that you don't go elsewhere.

Oracle does more of the former, they maximise profit above what the value is.

You could ask then "Who are there customers, surely someone has value", which is a valid claim but I would put hard money on: a lot of Oracle customers used to have value but are now just being squeezed hard.

Maybe a minority actually get a good value out of them though.
Kroger agrees to buy rival grocery company Albertsons for $24.6B
The two biggest grocery retailers in the US have agreed to a merger. The resulting organization will have 5000 stores throughout the US, with 800k employees.
I feel like this is is high school lit level advice. I've heard that in the US, part of the grade on essays is calculated algorithmically, based on the rarity of words one uses.

My teachers also tried to get me to avoid word repetition in my writing, such as the word 'very' 'say' etc. but never explained to me why it is a bad thing.

My personal theory is the usage synonyms is important to make sentences look 'dissimilar' as possible. This aids in reading comprehension, as samey looking sentences can lead the readers to lose track of their progress, similarly how one can lose their way physically without the aid of distinctive landmarks.
Edge has been released for Linux a while now... not that I know anyone who uses it, but it's available for those who need it.

> It is something that anyone with technical expertise (no platform is guaranteed a right to good programmers) can accomplish.

If a DDoS attack overwhelms the network connection, there's no technical expertise that can protect against that.

> In the case of KiwiFarms, they’ve transitioned to using a modified fork of a free and open source load balancer to protect against DDoS and other bot-driven attacks.

That only shows that no one attacking them has enough resources to overwhelm their network connection.
"Does a browser really have to be so complex that it warrants updates more often than the very sites that are being browsed?"

Since lots of money is today transfered directly (banking site) or indirectly (purchase) via a browser, I would say yes.

(even though in reality most updates are introducing new web features and not strengthening security).
Frankly I don't think the US model is something we should be competing with for the same reasons I don't think we should be emulating sweatshops in China or India. Based on recent stock trends their value is largely hypothetical and based on both hype and the assumption that they're able to grow indefinitely. I'd be happier to exclude them from our markets entirely.

The growth-oriented model that's become popular in the US looks increasingly like a cancer that only serves to concentrate wealth. There were a few early successes but it seems far more common that these startups "succeed" by distorting a functioning market with external capital and destroying sustainable businesses operating in the sector through price dumping.

Once they've captured enough of the market they'll IPO and either collapse entirely when their business model proves to be entirely unsustainable without infinite VC funds or limp along providing inferior service and labour conditions to those available beforehand. Either way harm is caused.

The model is fundamentally incompatible with the concept of fair and healthy competition and ultimately makes success a function of who has the most money to burn.
It would be nicer in many ways if we could just use the natural ice sheet, but AFAIK by now we cannot rely on it, even if we magically removed all the political problems and suddenly started doing the right thing. Based on available information it's possible, or plausible, that irreversible processes are already under way.

I'd say the priority should be against the threats to the existence of people. Consequences for the main guilty parties is an important but separate issue. I do hope that this whole crisis could contribute to curbing corporate power (by gaining widespread popularity and push for this, among young people especially). But the priority is keeping the patient alive, because without this the question of also making them a good person is moot.

edit: I also think based on the descriptions that some of the ideas could be straightforward enough to just be executed by government services (akin to firefighters or coastal guard) without any contractors, but this more of a question of how the governments function, possible corruption etc.
For me as a nerd, yes.
