I mean, yes, but that's probably not viable in many real-world applications. Usually you have a pretty complex data model (some graph-like structure) with Python methods that traverse it. You can't easily push that into native Python structures (at least not with any significant performance gain), and while you can push the whole thing into Rust or some faster language, at that point all of the interesting stuff is happening in Rust so why use Python at all (why pay the significant costs of a hybrid application)?
I use it to segment network access.

The devices are on an untrusted network and VPN into a LAN based on the device assignment. Things like printers are on a separate network, and there’s no cleartext on the network.

She was sharing it on TikTok, that's the problem. If Meta product people have already stopped eating their own dog-food then something is very amiss.
The fact they said it was "mistakenly added" to a policy document that had to go through multiple layers of management and lawyers before becoming public makes it hard to believe it was ever an accident. I'm more curious who is lobbying for such a condition in the first place.
Sadly, it used to be better. Dense cases of science trash and a true discovery for young minds. Now it's better contextualised and sanitised but less exciting. I mean, who won't want to play with a 1950s neutron source? Or stumble upon something instead of being led there? Damn those OSHA and pedagogy theorists.
This is interesting and very specific. I would think that if this applied it would be quite open-and-shut, and handled by the FTC directly. So my guess is it does not apply. Perhaps because it is not "merchandise"?
The alternative is a Constitutional Convention. Considering that each state would have equal representation, I can't imagine anyone on the Left liking that idea.
Well, again, what is the benefit of having a multi-stage process? Is it helping the applicants? Is it helping you? Start with a harder question, and you're doing them a favor at the same time you do one for yourself.

Why would you need one filter for "qualifications > 1" and a second one for "qualifications > 4" when you could just apply "qualifications > 4"?
They didn't even intend for a party system to take hold
That isn't really something a publicly traded company can do without putting even more pressure on it's share price. Mark's also still very young, if he wanted to ride off into the sunset he could have done that a long time ago. I give him a lot of credit for staying in the drivers seat given the political pressure they've been under since 2016 and now this period. It would have been a lot easier for him to just checkout and hang out on a mega yacht all day.

Why don’t they bury this in the terms you agree to when you book the room? Also, what liability can the provider actually incur in this situation? Seems like corporate paranoia.

or it wasn't priced in at all and nobody can quantify the “priced in” concept to begin with.

the concept relies on an idea of aggregate information converging to an average best price in advance of the information being available to all. it relies on someone smarter than everyone else recreating all financial inputs to the company and having enough capital, risk profile and time horizons to exercise that opinion. When even that stretch of the imagination can be undermined by someone richer just wanting to get out.

The heart of the issue in Germany right now is that the conservatives (coal) and the social democrats (gas) had sabotaged the switch to renewable energies during the last decade – which was otherwise well on it's way.

This entire discussion about nuclear is just a propaganda trick by the fossil fuel industry, which knows that nuclear can't be build in time. So people will rely on fossil fuels longer because they wait for nuclear while renewables and storage are presented as unattractive.

Just like Elon did with his hyperloop adventure to sabotage high speed rail.
We have a small and cheap Japanese car that features adaptive cruise control and line assist that works pretty alright. So it’s essentially like line following robot that can adjust its speed to keep a safe following distance and do hard breaking if needed.

It’s feels almost like full self driving when you drive on the highway.

It makes the ride significantly less tiresome but I would say it definitely reduces my attention.

I can totally see how people with more capable systems may treat the car as intelligent enough to drive %100 by itself and became negligent.
No intelligent person thinks that we got 250 years of relative peace and prosperity by random luck.
"Seventy-two per cent of Republicans think that the Constitution is basically fine as is; seventy-two per cent of Democrats disagree."

Of course this has nothing to do the actual Constitution. It's a statement about each party's (dis)satisfaction with the current success of their party.

The optimist in me wants to believe that even in this polarized culture politicians could compromise and find a middle ground on many issues, conceding to the other side on one issue in order to get something for their side for another issue. That could be done without any changes to the Constitution. But alas, the middle ground has been lost.
They have been dismantling entire towns in that area starting from 2006[1] to keep the coal plants in the area supplied. It would probably be less dramatic if it was just a targeted attack on a random wind farm.

> This makes RISC V completely obsolete since the x86 ecosystem is obviously much more mature.

While I'd really love to agree with you, the IPC of a RISC-V chip can annihilate an x86 machine on equivalently advanced manufacturing node. It's performance-per-watt can reach up to 10x efficiency over x86 in the right situations, and pretty much all of the cool stuff we like in x86 can be added as an ISA extension.

If we're headed to a RISC/low-power computing future, RISC-V will be the future people's champion. x86 will be a legacy compatibility mode that we use for games and "retrocomputing", likely.
quite a few robotics kits associated with microbit and raspberry pi. Though because they use computers they dont feel like fun so much to me.
I wish I had more of an excuse to play with Podman; seems to fix all the things I didn't like about Docker. However, I'm a bit puzzled about why the "compose" function still apparently lags behind - this has been a feature request basically for as long as I've known Podman existed. Not helped by the documentation online which makes it very difficult to understand whether compose is actually enabled in the Podman tool, or a separate script, or something else.
Russia and China recently amended their constitution to ensure their respective leaders can stay in power permanently. Having some unchangeable bedrock in a country seems very valuable as we are all vulnerable to tyrants at some point in history.
This comment is old but I'm commenting to respond and for future reference.

The adjacent concept is called "money supply" [0] which is, as far as I can tell, the equivalent of "market capitalization" but for currencies. Specifically, for US dollars, the "M2" money supply looks to be around $25 trillion [1].

I don't like that Bitcoin with the language used to describe stocks and bonds but whether Bitcoin enthusiasts use that language, it's certainly being adopted by the public, so we're kind of stuck with it.

Had you been more generous in your reading, you could have filled in "money supply" for Bitcoin, which currently stands at just under $400 billion (~19.2 million bitcoin @ ~$20k/btc). The generous conversion interpretation of the US dollar "market cap" (aka "money supply") is $25 trillion.

People can and do talk about the US dollars "market cap", they just call it something else ("money supply"). People also buy and sell currencies, very similarly to stocks, via foreign exchange markets.

A traditional spec doesn't fix that issue it has "bugs" too. I'd wager even more so since it isn't runnable and has much less eyeballs.

But you have a point that a traditional spec can underspecify behaviour in a way that is not possible in Rust itself. But I content that underspecified behavior in a programming language should be avoided.
I got the original Lego Mindstorms 1.0 kit for my 8th birthday - there was no programming interface, just a way to select one of 256 possible sequences of high-level actions the robot would perform in a loop. I paid for my first car by working at summer camps that taught kids how to use the Mindstorms 2.0 and NXT, and built my first 3D printer with Lejos (https://lejos.sourceforge.io/), Lego Technic parts and a tiny spindle router that could sculpt shapes into floral foam.

While I'm saddened by this news for nostalgic reasons, I personally believe that today's young learners are better served by the proliferation of hobby robotics platforms like Arduino/Raspberry Pi. Every summer camp I worked at would claim that Lego robotics teaches real-world engineering skills, while in reality the students were just happy to stay within the comfort zone of playing with Legos and using a block-based programming environment (one that has quite frankly gone from bad to worse to absolutely horrible with each product cycle). Also, FIRST Lego League does nothing meaningful to prepare students for FIRST - when I donated supplies and a few weeks of mentorship to my former high school's FIRST team, I was dismayed to see how much dead weight the team was carrying in students who participated in the middle school Lego league, who did not have even the basic coding/engineering skills to make any contribution to the high school team other than paying the membership dues.

You've got my attention: this is a possible replacement for the Raspberry Pi units we've been using for IoT applications (hopefully this device will support AWS Greengrass 2?). However, unless it can ship in quantity it's little more than an amusement. Getting Ubuntu or NetBSD to run on new hardware isn't the challenge: getting sufficient quantities of the units for prime-time use is.
Isn't that datapoint an exception that proves the rule? I note that a homeless person receiving acclaim and the issue of homelessness receiving attention are orders apart.
Cue a few hundred nostalgia posts. Mindstorms was an amazing learning experience in the 00s.

When they first announced the Mindstorms kit, I was obsessed with the idea, but we were a Mac family. My parents somehow obtained a Robolab kit from the Lego educational catalog, which did run on Mac. I had so many good memories of building with that kit, but there were a number of plans I had found for Mindstorms that uses parts not included with the Robolab kit.

When I was in a freshman engineering class that used version 1 mindstorms kits a few years later, my fellow students were amazed at my understanding of how to build with the kits. It also help with another lab used LabVIEW.
I remember reading about "factions" in the Federalist papers and I have a feeling that the Founding Fathers knew such partisanship was bound to arise. And indeed, it arose very early during George Washington's presidency. I don't think the development of political parties would have caught them by surprise, especially because many of them wound up joining them as time went on.
I spent many hours in Unreal GOTYE honing my reflexes for Counter Strike Source. Put the bots on godlike, increase the gameplay speed to 200% and then die more often than not. It is brutal and makes other FPSs feel like they're molasses.
>Can someone make an argument against buying at this price point?

The only way I see them recovering is regulatory action, either:

1. The White House bans tiktok, (hopefully, in FB's case) shifting TikTok's eyeballs to Instagram.

2. The White House forces Apple to undo informed tracking consent.

Personally, I believe Facebook was digging their own grave in 2010 and handled the privacy problem incredibly poorly. While consumers were unlikely to stop using Facebook, it left them wide open for Apple to kneecap them and now Zuckerberg's, likely correct, concerns that Apple doesn't really care about privacy falls completely on deaf ears.

One significant difference between Autopilot in Teslas and autopilots in airplanes is that in an airplane you typically have to prove that you can use the autopilot correctly in order to be allowed to fly that plane.

Another difference is that piloting a boat or a plane is usually much less dependent on quick reactions than when you are driving a car. The skies and seas are much more open, with much less traffic than on the road. On a well trimmed plane, I could probably sleep for 10 minutes and there is a good chance nothing will happen. Obviously, it is excessively dangerous, but I am not almost guaranteed to crash as I would be on a car. Flying or sailing is more about precision and planning than it is about reacting.
I propose a constitutional amendment to ban political parties. ;)

But seriously, that would be interesting. Our Founding Fathers never intended there to be this entrenchment of two parties. It would make polarization harder because, well... what are the sides? It would also force greater civic participation to know what candidates actually stand for, and not just at the federal level.

It is a feature. The Constitution defines a series of feedback loops with different time-constants:

House: 2 yr

President: 4 yr

Senate: 6 yr

President-term-limit: 8 yr

Supreme-Court justice: ~16 years (per Google for average term)

Constitutional Amendment: Hard. ~13.5 years between updates, potentially infinite duration. (231 years since Bill of Rights was added, 17 amendments since then)

Each of these allows for differing response-times to a changing world. If you're a control-theory engineer, you might view Congress and the President as a PID loop, where the President is P, the House is D, and the Senate is I.

The goal of the Constitution is to ascertain what the people want, in aggregate. This series of cascaded loops helps to serve that purpose.
The ballpoint pen was invented in 1889. A simple ballpoint from 1922 was not significantly different than any ordinary pen used today.

I can't think of a major advance in pen design since about 1965 (Fisher pressurized space pen) and I don't expect any major advances before 2065.

Gel inks? Smaller ball-bearings in the Uniball line? Erasable ink? Not much there.

Also anybody who calls a pen their "daily driver" is probably well served by a vintage fountain pen, a form that arguably was at its peak in the early 20th century.

Honestly a pretty bad example.
Kids of today, etc.

AT power supplies didn't have any mechanism for the system to tell the power supply it wasn't needed any more. So when you shut down the computer, it would wind up at a screen with a message approximating "it is now safe to switch off your computer", at which point the system would halt.

ATX power supplies added the ability for the OS to trigger an actual power off. But that's a different end-state to halting, and if you halt the system then it stays on. You may wonder why anyone would want to halt when power off is an option, and to be honest I'm not entirely sure -- possibly because you have a hardware watchdog which will trigger a reboot of a halted machine but not of a powered off machine?

Some difficulty is not a bug, but the current amount of difficulty was probably not intended.

Most of the drafters understood that it was important for a government's founding document to strike a balance between two unsustainable positions: immutability (leading to a sort of tyranny of the old and dead) and excessive mutability (leading to short-term thinking and political instability). Our current approach to amending the constitution has favored the former position, to poor effect.

Apple Silicon was an interesting move when you look at it from a numbers perspective. The M1 is a really impressive chip, but AMD had competitive x86 hardware that was out on the 7nm node. It benchmarked ~10% slower (the 4800u did, at least), consumed more power (25w max vs 15w max) and ran equally as hot as M1, but it did make me wonder - could AMD have made an M1-class chip if TSMC sold them the 5nm silicon they needed? It's hard to say, and arguably the Zen process wasn't (and still isn't) competitive with Apple's process enhancement.

Still though, AMD seems convinced that x86 can compete against modern RISC ISAs. They aren't far away from proving themselves right, honestly.
When one side wants things to change and the other side wants things to "stay the same" (in order to deconstruct them), the current state of affairs is one side having the upper hand.

The US founding fathers were so worried about a tyranny of the majority they built a system where a tyranny of the minority was likely to come to pass.
Some examples:

* Equal rights ammendment

* DC representation

* Abolish electoral college

* one person one vote

* End the death penalty

* Campaign finance reform

You might be surprised to find out how CPU-intensive even something as simple as a DB request can be. Your driver has to do the work of communicating with the DB server via its protocol, which is similar in cost to any other network request. More importantly, it has to deserialize the result and marshal the data into objects on the managed heap. Most DB drivers don't support streaming, so for larger requests you have to read all the data into memory, then convert it all into objects at once.

And that's not even taking into account frameworks and ORMs like Hibernate, which itself can multiply the CPU used several-fold on top of JDBC, or whatever lower-level interface it wraps. I've never measured frameworks in dynamic languages, but I have no reason to believe they aren't similarly inefficient.

And, yes, one of the optimizations I did for my reverse proxy app was to upgrade the JSON library, which brought a significant performance boost. But it's not the only source of CPU usage for apps, nor was it the only major optimization I successfully applied.

That doesn't even seem like a valid English sentence to me.

Searching the sentences from the text will send you to various sources from which they were taken without being given credit.

In fact you can find plenty of sites who are seemingly recycling the the same sentences used in this blog. It's pretty bizarre.

Second, SpaceX takes far less money on comparable bids than legacy launchers. They simply charge less. That's why they win.

Last, they actually deliver, unlike Boeing. Look at Starliner vs Crew Dragon. They are delivering incredible value for your tax dollars.

The Equal Rights Amendment would have been nice. A Supreme Court member did say that without it, the Constitution does not prohibit discrimination based on sex.

There are certain rights that are broadly popular, such as the right to birth control and the right to be gay, which are currently only protected by Supreme Court judgment. A member of that court explicitly called for reconsidering them. They are so broadly accepted that nobody even does polling for them, but there is so little chance of passing an amendment to protect them that nobody is even trying.

Thank you very much for the informative answer!
Yes, because it leaves constitutional meaning up, not up to the people, but up to the whims of the supreme court.

The easiest way to amend the constitution is to hold or pack the supreme court. That is dysfunctional. An easier to amend constitution, that better reflected the people's will, would likely reduce political polarization, as it would be possible to actually pass national laws that have 60 or 70% support.
