> until just 1% of the sun was covered

Was this confirmed? It's easy to underestimate because the sun is so incredibly bright that it bleeds outside and maintains it's perceived intensity and radius much more so than the actual numbers, due to various optical phenomena.

For instance, our eyes have logarithmic intensity response curve, so a 2x increase feels more like – say – a 1.1x increase.
> Someone gets a lower-level customer service rep on twitter to make a statement based on incorrect and incomplete information about Airtags in compliance with regulation.

I can't believe that someone pressured a lower level customer service. From my experience, they (the employees) decided to make up a new rule that benefited them.
In Canada it's illegal to call yourself software engineer
The fines should be large enough to serve as a deterrent; as a warning to other companies that if they harm the public they'll be punished.

Fines which are a minor nuisance, a small cost of doing business, don't accomplish those goals.

Wow, this actually DOES appear to shut down autoupdating. Thanks!
Meh, only if you accept that the 4090 is really a Titan or a Quadro under another name. And to be fair, I think that it probably is. But that doesn’t match with the consumer designation that we see in these things and so bargain or not, this is a professional card being marketed to consumers.

If you’re looking for a pro card and have the cooling and power to support it (not to mention, the workflow needs that could benefit), that’s great. If you’re a gamer or enthusiast, the price is still high enough (not to mention the other changes you might need to make to your rig to support the card) that the actual delta between the potential and what you’ll actually do with the card means you should probably just stick with either a 3090 that is now half the price, or hold out for the other 4000 series cards if you must get a next-gen card.
Lots of "professional" cartels in Canada are granted power. We still call our engineers in Canada software engineers. No one has expressed concern so far.

I'm not sure I see the connection to sociology though, do yo mean behavioral economics?

Being self-critical means world war? If I say I am flawed, I do not mean that others are perfect.. just that I am flawed. This kind of exceptionalism that US can do nothing wrong and even it does something wrong, we should not talk about it since others are worse does not make sense.
> the war criminals were the pundits on TV

Mila Štula comes to mind.

I still remember watching the hysteria on Radio-Television Belgrade in disbelief that people would actually believe it. But they did. And the rest is history, as they say. Ugly, murderous, and utterly unnecessary history.

I see some signs of this in the contemporary US media landscape, and I worry the consequences might be similar.
It obviously depends on your working environment..? I'd be screwed 5 minutes into my workday having to sign into our PDM.

> It seems like the terminal world is slowly getting abandoned in favor of proprietary GUI apps.

Eh, I'm seeing quite the opposite trend. I see people doing stuff that'd consider using a terminal to be straight up inappropriate for (e.g. displaying line graphs).

And your troubles with Slack is most likely down to it being proprietary garbage.
Reddit has been trying to make me login and install app since years. Everytime it asks more than once, I close the webpage. It's helping my Reddit addiction and I have been avoiding it for years now.
Normally I would agree with you.

Until there is new information presented, I will continue to assert that they have not changed. (That first part of the sentence is copied from verbatim from a CSR email when explaining an exceptionally bad experience with them)
My college campus had a huge parking problem. One time I got a ride from a classmate, and he rolled up and parked in a clear no parking zone. When I pointed it out, he said "oh I'll just pay the $50 (or whatever) ticket. I always do it when I'm running late for class."

Parking enforcement was happy since they made a bit of money. The student was happy because he got to park in a prime spot for a fee that was insignificant for him. However, if the goal was to stop people from parking in certain areas, the policy failed miserably.

Corporate fines work the same way. If they make $10 from an illegal action and are fined $1 for it, it isn't a deterrence, just a good investment opportunity.
TBH even the foundation has changed dramatically. It's hard to convince me we have rock solid foundations in a quickly changing industry.

Most of the feedback loop is if you can get jobs of ever higher compensation. If that loop stops considering old school sysadmin foundation skills, then people will stop learning those skills because they can get jobs without them.

There's been lots of progress on making things convenient for developers/IT, so that's also why: you don't need those old skills to use those, or at least your entire team doesn't.
I bet one of the issues is that there's actually too few of them. While Ukraine is fairly small compared to the US, it's still no slouch. The front was as long at one point as the distance between the northern and southern border of the US. A few thousand ground terminal in such a large area make what seems to be a sub-optimal number of ground terminals per base station. Normally the "non-premium" terminals would be oversubscribed in an area and the ISP would rely on usage statistics to determine the economic optimum, but here you might have a situation where the "non-premium" pricing may not reflect the service available (there may be more connectivity available per terminal, because there's so few of them) nor the costs incurred (the same amount of effort is spent on servicing a small number of terminals). The upside is that the ground terminals can each be shared by many people so it's not all that expensive per connected individual -- you're just splitting the costs at the level of connected individuals, not at the level of privately owned terminals.
Aren't "air miles" basically this ?

>tip

What? I want to know more about the circumstances that led to you paying a tip while buying a cellphone. What country was this? What state/province? What store?

(I see that your comment mentions the US and Wal-Mart, but I think both of those are about the $40 purchase and I'm curious about the $125 purchase.)
> If it triggered the war, do you think it would be waged mostly on territory of continental China, or Taiwan?

> To put it differently - nobody is claiming USA wants to _invade_ Taiwan. They "merely" wish there was a war _in_ Taiwan. Contrast it with Taiwanese, who generally prefer the "leave it as it is" option.

The US sailing ships there won't "trigger" a war, _China_ will trigger a war. They are threatening a war of choice. This is 100% a choice made by China. China could simply not attack Taiwan and publicly state they never will. China could just engage with Taiwan as a separate country. But China chooses to threaten Taiwan instead.

The US is supporting Taiwan militarily to help them defend against such a Chinese invasion. They are doing so at the request of Taiwan. To say that the US is somehow "threatening" Taiwan by trying to help them to avoid a war by China is total lunacy. Frankly it makes no sense at all.

> Ah, indeed. Except you failed to mention it's from 2005, which in this context was ages ago. And then you quoted the part which clearly states that an invasion is pretty much out of the question - China could only do it to "protect China's sovereignty and territorial integrity", which is a higher bar than most superpowers have (cf Hague Invasion Act).

China has never repealed this law. China engaged in military exercises surrounding Taiwan in the just the few months. This law is still official Chinese policy and all of their acts imply they still consider it in force. I've _never_ heard anyone Chinese are Taiwanese say that this law no longer applies. Neither those who are for war or against it or for unification or against it. Frankly I think you're either being willfully obtuse or just arguing in bad faith.

I think the core problem was his not recognizing Class X as just the usual bohemian avant-garde, and thinking that it represented some shift in the class hierarchy rather than a constant part of it. His hope for some bright future for this "classless" class was simply misplaced, because he didn't see what it actually was. Which makes the end of that otherwise fun book kind of a downer.

This is easily verifiable as untrue. Look at reports for Afghanistan and Iraq. The situation around Gallagher and other special forces soldiers.
No, it's a subjective estimate. Everything I said is subjective.

I did look at the sun with glasses that made it appear as a dim orange ball, and as soon as the moon barely started to cover an edge it was comfortable to walk around in the sunshine. By totality we were all wearing jackets. This was in Idaho.
My grandfather was a WWII B-29 pilot. For a very long time he didn't talk in much detail about the horrors. It was only in his later years before he passed did he talk openly about some of the real nasty aspects. One time I asked him what the most unpleasant thing he experienced was during his time in the military. His answer was the stench of burning humans. When they started low level firebombing, his initial spot was the center-rear wave. So when he flew in to drop his stuff... the smell was horrendous.

I suspect he shared that with us younger folks to illustrate that war is not glamorous, even if you win. Yes they won, but it was a disgustingly ugly affair for all parties involved.

I'm glad he shared that, because I have a very healthy aversion to unnecessary conflict, in part due to a few stories shared by him.
If you're only concerned about metrics on some bossware, overestimating seems acceptable if you lack the experience to accurately fashion a real timetable, and with time, you'll do it better and better.

If you're working with humans you can overshoot, which will make you look great if you take less time than estimated, or just say you'll give an estimate once you've started the task, they should understand (Consider using: "How long? Let me look into it first", "How long? About $(your_bad_estimate)*1.5 minutes" or similar). And if they don't understand, consider asking why that estimate is so important in the first place.

Maybe the customer must approve jobs before they are executed, and the customers get an estimate billing based on your estimated time? A big estimate might scare them. Who knows?
I love how when there's no USB-C on the iPhone, it's a world-historical tragedy.

But somehow having FOUR USB-C ports (which, yes, also support Thunderbolt, but are also fully-legit USB-C ports) on the Mac means they are now "Apple fantasy-world ports".

Apple can't win, it seems.
> , they tend to operate with considerably more autonomy.

That's one way to put it.

Another way to put it is:

The pattern that is free on AWS and costs a fair amount on digital ocean is one or two VPS-es (or equivalent serverless/kubernetes compute) plus a managed database instance. If you don't have the managed database, the AWS free tier is a lot less attractive.

The biggest thing the AP1000 does is production scale with passive safety. With zero power and no operator intervention it can shut down a reactor and keep it cool for long enough not to melt down.

> Specifically the constitution, they not only put it in the constitution, they also made the constitution hard to change. The other side can't just change it with a 51% majority. (A future government can ignore it or say it doesn't apply, of course. But the Supreme Court may disagree... several years later.)

That only addresses one of the four ways I listed though.

(1) Any future government can just take it out - I believe you addressed this point

(2) just completely ignore its existence - The government can pass other laws such as the Espionage Act [1] that restricts free speech without needing to go through the effort of an amendment.

(3) say it doesn't apply in this situation - Espionage Act [1] again applies here. There's also a lot of discussion about if say the USG asks twitter to do something does it apply or because the actual restriction came from a private entity does it not?

(4) work around it - Twitter again applies here (as does just buying 3rd party data to get around the other amendments). - Some argue that Snowden has a free speech right to tell/show people what he did. This doesn't apply as Snowden has a separate civil agreement (NDA) with the government.

> So think carefully about whether you want to open that door.

Very much agreed.

> higher than expected 4090 demand

Has anyone done analysis on this? My layman's assumption is that with the shortages and gouging/scalping over the past two years, an awful lot of people decided to tough it out on their 10-, 16-, and 20- series cards, and now the narrative is that the shortages are over (whether or not the actual prices really back that up) and those people who skipped a generation or two are now emotionally and financially prepared to "treat" themselves to the new top of the line.

If this is it, though, it seems weird that it could really have caught Nvidia by surprise. Don't they have driver-level telemetry that would show them all those older cards plugged into new-chipset motherboards, and could give them some indication of demand?
I'd rather have the choice to do whatever I want with my life instead of a bomb dropped on my head.
Is something filtering out Asian basketball players before they reach the NBA? Or may they just don't decide to become professional basketball players. Likewise among children who say they're interested in STEM, boys outnumber girls 3:1 as early as middle school [1]. The evidence doesn't indicate that they're being filtered out, they're not interested in the field in the first place.

If most tourists go to popular areas, the author is the extreme opposite.

I like somewhere in the middle. I seek out highly-rated restaurants among LOCALS as a starting point. The fewer other tourists I see and the less English the staff speaks, the better. I also mix in places I see on the street that look good - they may not even be on rating apps; sometimes I get lucky that way too.

Ah, sweet (and thanks for building Litestream/LiteFS)! This should work great for us, will definitely try to get a PoC going with this.
The GTX970 is a fun bit of hardware. It's marketed as a 4GB RAM card.

In practice, it's 3.5GB of normal GDDR4, and 512 MB of horribly slow, would have been considered bad in 2000 RAM. So, people who bought it thinking they're getting a less powerful GTX980 get more inferior product than they bought. The last 512Mb is truly worthless, only good for storing a desktop framebuffer. Anything that needs to write into it quickly (like, say, literally any game) will just slow down to a crawl.
In addition to this, Java should eliminate unordered collections entirely and alias them to their ordered equivalents; for example, HashMap -> LinkedHashMap, HashSet -> LinkedHashSet. See [0].

I am pretty sure they are exploring AlphaFold, potential growth opportunity. ByteDance has been exploring games, education, online office suites and many more.
Also don't let imposter syndrome get you. A manager's job is to make sure that those they manage have the tools they need to do their job. One of those 'tools' includes your comfort level. The fact that you are not comfortable is not a failing on your part or of your capabilities, but a failure of your manager to give you the tools you need to be comfortable.

You aren't an imposter posing as an IT person. You are an IT person who has not been given the tools or time needed to do a potentially high impact, high visibility task. So yeah, just another day in IT :) You can do this.

Imagine if this was to scale and each of the satellites was a giant floating city the size of Tokyo or LA? I wonder how many centuries will pass before that becomes a reality.

It's sort of interesting that there's been a wonky steam punk movie about battling cities roaming the Earth, gobbling each other up, but none about the more plausible future where there are battles between giant orbiting cities who pass their hated rivals once every certain number of years.

From the manufacturer, Westinghouse, so please take with a critical look:

Key quote from the second link:
"The key feature of the AP1000 plant is the replacement of complex redundant safety systems that are powered with AC power with passive safety methods such as gravity and heat transfer by conduction, convection and radiation.....

.....The AP1000 plant does not require AC electric power to achieve safe shutdown nor to establish and maintain, for an extended period of time, safe shutdown mode while removing decay heat from the nuclear fuel. By removing the reliance on AC power, you solve the paradox in which you need AC power to remove decay heat. With the AP1000 plant design, you don’t need AC power. You just need the laws of physics and stored energy from DC batteries, compressed gases and gravity to remove decay heat, and that is what achieves the simplicity and robustness."

Some of my best experiences were off the beaten path. Having said that I kinda question this idea how local or representative of local life those experiences were. I also would not what to have missed out on the big attractions either... I can't imagine skipping the Louvre, not seeing David...

For an article by someone who travels a lot there's a tone here like that friend who comes back from some trip to tell you how much more amazing X place is and all the wonderful things they do better. Things that are different often make big impressions. I'm always skeptical of these ideas, how many people you meet, what that really represents and so on.

Otherwise I probably agree with most things in the article, granted somewhat aspirationally (I wish I could pack that light) ;)
