Perhaps I am an isolated incident and honestly hope for the sake of the community that it is. But they followed up with an email to my personal email tied to my personal email from sign up from @business.fb.com domain per their help center https://www.facebook.com/business/help/372703956148310
Yea Autopilot is just adaptive cruise control on every other car maker. Such an awful term. Full self driving is the in city driving, negotiating stoplights, turns etc.
Same here. Model 3, purchased 1998, FSD beta since December 2021. FSD isn't perfect, but it works. It's about as skilled as an average student driver, which means I am hands-off but still have to be vigilant for mistakes.

Pucker factor influences any current-generation self-driving. I've given demos to friends in the passenger seat who have had such strong negative reactions that I've had to end the demo -- as in they want to reach over to grab the steering wheel to save our lives in mid-turn. This reaction isn't totally surprising; I've been in human-driven cars with people who simply cannot be a passenger because they're so jumpy.

It takes a leap of faith to let the car drive itself, but with that faith and the requisite attention, the experience is good.
"industry norms" was my initial inspiration: maybe Twitter is not a tech company at all, and the industry they're in is actually "media." So what are those norms?

So I got the News Corp. annual report. As I said, they seem to account for software costs differently than the companies I showed, so I gave up. It would still be worth some deeper analysis, though.

The standard tool in the financial analyst's toolbox is to ask: compared to what? Hardly any company is identical to anything else, so you can always question the comparability of any pair. Accounting is a herculean attempt to make everything comparable, at some basic level.

So what should we compare Twitter to? Comments in this thread seem to be either "not those!" or "let's pick one that has a similar number (Facebook), and that's our comparable." Neither of those approaches are really rigorous.

I think maybe "a new-age media company" would be a good description of Twitter, rather than "a tech giant." Maybe the merger of Time-Warner with AOL was just 20+ years too early, and Twitter and News Corp. really do converge to become similar businesses.

MIT has been moving into elitist territory for decades. Of course they no longer want the proles on campus. Ironically, they passed Harvard for elitism, which was the opposite of when I attended. Harvard tries to do some outreach, for example, letting kids from the local high school take classes there. MIT has a big middle finger to the city it lives in.
icculus' ports are legendary, had many hours of fun with the u42004 linux port. nice to see this!

Ok, fine, it forbids it in this Universe then.
What kind of situations? So far none of the comments criticizing AGPL provide an example.
My then 8yo daughter who is behind in love with horses saw me riding a horse in botw. Zero experience with video games she picked it up and spent six months working at it so she could get a horse.

Completing shrines so she could get enough stamina to tame the horses.

She has collected all the rare ones now.
It does, but the Backblaze pod uses a backplane whereas this looks like it uses breakout cables which honestly kind of surprised me with the amount of drives in this.
With respect to the old saw that "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent", this suggests that the market can remain irrational for about twelve years.
Definitely weird. The whole area is 100x more gentrified than when I attended in 2007 with a whole foods on every corner instead of star market. My guess is it's more about tourists causing issues than actual safety issues.
The irony? Nowhere, that I'm aware of, is there anything in the founding documents about limiting choice to two parties. We can't keep filtering everything through a binary lens and expect to get anything but binary opposing views.

The tool (i.e. The Constitution) is fine. The problem is at this point it's being used as a hammer and it's a screwdriver. Ya can't blame the tool for those who insist on misusing it.
I'm prioritizing myself. My value isn't based on how dependent people are on me, it's based on how well I scale the company. They could fire me whenever they wanted and the business would continue running, but they don't want to fire me, because my value is high. My approach has landed me consistent promos, raises, and out of band stock grants.

If you think you're safe because the company is so dependent on you, you're misguided. You're the kind of folks that are actively targeted.

Ignoring money, I'm also prioritizing myself, because by removing myself as a dependency, I also make it possible to take vacations, and my stress levels are low.
That people here don’t know it was called OSX for a long time makes me feel old. It was a stupid name but still.
I haven’t gotten any of the challenges to load, but if you’re going to simulate a sysadmin it would make sense to give you high privileges (or even root) on the box. The more privileged you are inside a container, the more attack surface you expose.
You'll last longer without food, than without water. Where I live, there are no (working) watertowers anymore. It's all pressure by pumps. I'd hope they survive, but am not so sure. Where would their electricity come from in such a situation?
The fuel for the emergency generators? (Do they even have them? Again, not so sure.) How long would they even last when running 24/7?

I wouldn't want to drink any unfiltered water here. At least not without some filtering "straw", Katadyn, or something similar. And they don't last long either. So you need packs of those, or at least their filters.
I observe that the end of the passage you quoted bears a "[citation needed]".
Always been fascinating to me as an American to see how hunting and shooting gear is marketed and sold in Europe. It’s closer to luxury goods retail than the American experience where it’s all generally treated as sporting equipment no matter if it’s at a “luxury” price point.

The study combines all forms of game playing no matter the platform. They used self reported studies of all participants who were 9-10 at the time of the study, but used MRI for part of the cognitive testing response measurement.
I have a Toyota Rav 4 2021 with adaptive cruise control and lane assist, it worked ok on highways, especially not having it before. You have to keep nudging the wheel every 30 seconds or so which made it annoying.

I upgraded to a Comma 3 and it's basically is night and day. The car never hunts from side to side and it uses eye tracking so I don't have to touch the wheel. Again if you have to touch a wheel on a ACC system, just drive the car haha.

> Money is confidence in an idea

Specifically the idea that the issuing government either won’t default on its debts any time soon, or that it’s big enough to dominate the world order enough that it can run up its debts without somebody taking a shot at the king. It sounds less religious and more like a game of king of the hill from this perspective.

I know Yuval Harari’s perspective is that money is the “first religion of man”, and I think it’s useful in the context of discussing how mankind evolved, but considering the modern world I prefer Ray Dalio’s perspective: “money is (are?) the house chips in the casino of whoever dominates the current world order.”

At the end of the day, it’s weapons and businesses that give value to money.
The US "left wing" party does not (collectively) support:

* nationalized health insurance

* higher upper marginal rate income taxes

* expanded public transportation

* higher corporate taxes

* unions/employee members of corporate boards

* longer parental leave

* more vacation time

These and many other policies are common across other democratic nations' left-ish parties, and are actual policy in many of those nations.

Is this COVID-driven? How sad. Pretty weird seeing “MIT ID (Covid Pass)” in almost-2023.

Does MIT know that the rest of the world is over it? That most countries have no entry measures now? When do the smart kids just start saying “no” and attend a university not run by cowards and ninnies? What a bunch of dorks (and not in the endearing sense).
Google Data Studio on BigQuery – usage and cost control
False analogy and exaggeration fallacy, as wisdom teeth are neither deadly nor contagious, and requiring vaccinations does not mean they get to require orthodontics. All employers have wisely required their employees get vaccinated, as one sick employee can decimate the whole company and put it out of business. You don't have to comply if you're antisocial and don't care if you get sick and die nor who you take with you, go ahead and revel in your entitlement, but you'll no longer work there while you do it. Employers usually have dress and grooming codes also, this is nothing new, so they may require a haircut, shave, bathing, etc., but none will require a barcode tattooed on your forehead, but even if they did, you could always refuse and quit. There is no problem here other than narcissism, and no employer will require you to be evaluated and treated, but you may avail yourself of the health insurance your employer provides to treat your mental illness and mitigate the obvious issues with ego that strain every relationship in your life.
The War to Sell You a Mattress
I didn't have any until I was 14 or so but mostly because we were too poor for the ones available and the only screens I saw were the minicomputer terminals at the community college but I got to make a few as an adult. YMMV.
The Founding Fathers wrote a republican constitution and knew for a fact that as a direct consequence of the republican structure that there would be factions. That was the point of Ben Franklin's quote:

>Unless you're rendering to another target besides the DOM (ie canvas) I doubt you see JS displacement as #1 in the browser.

if we're talking on the level of 20,30,50 years, we may in fact be able to move away from a DOM-based web. and WASM is simply a binary spec, so it can adjut with whatever comes on the horizon. We've had similar sized giants rise and fall in that span.
You think you're making yourself indispensable by making the company dependent on you, but you're doing the opposite. You're a bottleneck, and when companies are trying to become more efficient, you'll be top of the list to make disposable.

Growth is understanding that you become indispensable by removing yourself as a dependency, because you uplift everyone around you. At higher levels of seniority, this is what orgs actually care about.
So go out to the woodshop and make your own! Churning your own butter in a store bought churn is mailing it in.
You and I have very different experiences. At the places where I've been a student and worked, it was possible and permitted to enter the vast majority of buildings (I think all academic buildings, but I'm hedging with "vast majority"), during working hours (something like 8am to 6pm), without any identification or permission. Importantly, this always includes libraries.

I know people who, when considering faculty job offers from universities, use "are libraries open to the public" as a proxy for other valuable properties of the university. It seems like a pretty good heuristic to me.

I've been asked for ID exactly once on a university campus---I needed security to let me into my office building in the middle of the night because I'd forgotten my wallet in there, and they needed to record my name for some record. The officer didn't seem interested in _checking_ the ID so much as copying down the name.
You're still responsible if your lane change causes an accident.

I don't see how it's worth $1. Do you trust the system to properly gauge the speed of a vehicle accelerating to pass you? If not then you need hands and eyes at the ready.
Democracy is majority rule.

Democracy is nothing about facts or opinions.

You are the one impacting democracy by saying we cannot survive if we keep current democratic rules.

You can have the best argument for improving society by limiting who is allowed to vote, what things you're allowed to vote on, and what facts you are allowed to talk about. It can even be a true argument that would make everyone better off. But if it's less democracy, then it's anti-democratic. If you care about minorities and people generally, that's good, if you care about democracy, that's bad.

The only way you can lose a democracy is by voting to stop voting, or voting to stop other people from voting.

The intelligence of the population has nothing to do with it.
"The wind farm was planned to have a given life span and now that it's over, no one is willing to reinvest in it. So it's become a coal mine because coal is more profitable. So that proves why wind is more profitable." I'm literally confused.

The simplest might be an endpoint which asks 'which server should I connect to?'

Then you can use whatever logic you want for it. If the client disconnects, it just asks again and reconnects.

Use a token from the directory endpoint to authorize the connection so they have to do it.
Nothing wrong with porn or gambling. Makes me want to make bets involving porn
Again, it's a matter of investment.

Keeping the old nuke running for ten more years costs more and winds up being less reliable than a new wind farm.

The moral is 'don't let your leader gut zero carbon investment for a 'job' in the gas industry'. Not 'spend your limited zero carbon investment in a much worse way'.
OpenPilot is probably the best or second best on the market from my usage of other systems.
Conceivably, a state actor could use this bug to eavesdrop on an espionage target, no? There is a market for zero-day exploits, where state espionage entities and criminal organizations both pay to learn about the existence of vulnerabilities like this—with prices in the hundreds of thousands to the millions of dollars.

Are you saying that this particular bug would not be worth more than $7000 in one of these markets, or are you questioning the very existence of these markets?
Not in the UK it isn't. The government expect people to use food banks (run by charities, mostly churches) to make ends meet. They recently implemented a tax cut for the highest income decile in the country at a rate disproportionately larger than the tax relief for other income bands. The poorest barely got anything.
Performance is a feature, and needs to be prioritized accordingly.
A lot of people use it, but not everyone is open about it. I wouldn't use it though personally.
> in case he is wrong about the size or timing of the Metaverse?

I imagine there are an equal number of people that could convince him to continue, in case he is right. This appears to include Apple: https://9to5mac.com/2021/11/25/kuo-apple-plans-to-replace-th...

I think the negative feelings towards all of this will flip, if Apple decides to release something.
Wouldn't the normal implementation for == check lengths?

Edit: Never mind, it doesn't: https://github.com/golang/go/blob/d28bf6c9a2ea9b992796738d03...

But checking lengths doesn't really help you: it only tells you when strings are not equal, and you would still have to walk the string to see which one is larger/smaller.
Assuming 10-20k titles probably just one
I agree that sharing what you know is important, but a lot of it can be done online. If you want to see a lecture, watching a video is probably a better way to do it, and it can reach a lot more people. Access to academic papers is better done online.

If you read the MIT library access policy for visitors [1], it's pretty restrictive anyway. University libraries mostly aren't public libraries.

So it seems like the question isn't whether a university provide benefits to the public, but rather, what does the public actually gain from physical access? Are physical visits important for practical reasons, or are they primarily symbolic?

you're arguing against someone who is opposed to an alleged US intelligence agency backdoor, using rhetoric consistent with known techniques used by US intelligence agencies to disrupt conversations

Then they should use better arguments and not "everyone saying one thing somehow proves the opposite".
As alum, I don’t think any of the buildings are particularly great. Lots of things to love about the university. The physical campus was always kinda meh (but functional).
Hrm, I really goofed by linking the `clock_divider` Verilog file and not the Atari Tank clone, which is way more fun (for some of us!):

The author stated that the benchmarks run in headless mode, so I am not sure that it's SDL that's slowing it down here.

Even if it is SDL slowing it down, Go FFI being slow is still a real disadvantage compared to the other languages, and you can't just pretend like it doesn't exist in this case.
There's a steep learning curve, and it's not necessary. I mainly use Vim, but it wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't.

Reasons for me:

- It's a lot more laptop-friendly not having to deal with a mouse and complex GUI. I even gave up my desk at work and just sit and code in random places.

- On my desk at home, it's a bit faster for me than an IDE. But that depends.

- Seems like IDE users are constantly switching tools, especially when changing jobs. Even at my current 4-year job, my teammates have all changed between 3 different IDEs and had to screw around with remote access problems for each. I've used Vim everywhere since college.

I know people say that about everything but Rust generics are very readable and do make sense after you understand what problem are they solving.

They do look intimidating to start with, admittedly, and I'll concede that's a negative point for Rust. But it does get better if you practice for a bit.
Bravo! Very nice!
> PayPal offered to donate the money to United Way, and Lowtax refused

It's important to remember why Lowtax refused:

>The Paypal representative said they can only donate money to the United Way; you know, the organization where the president was sued for stealing half a million dollars from them. You know, the organization with a loathsome two star rating, that spends nearly double the amount of money in "administrative overhead" (read: advertising) as Red Cross. It turns out that this is what the United Way is famous for. They weasel their way into companies and sign contracts with them, blocking the corporations from accepting donations to any other charity. I guess it's fitting Paypal chose to team up with them.

Hunting is usually well regulated in most places, with professional biologists watching the game animal populations and assigning the number of hunting tags to keep the populations in balance. Here in Massachusetts, the places we have the most problem with deer populations is in the east, where anti-hunting sentiment is high. The deer are overpopulated, unbalancing the ecosystem, and leading to all kinds of issues such as tick infestation, car accidents, and stress on some native plants, not to mention less healthy deer.
I hate paternalistic non-optimization like this. Just optimize it - your code sucks and you should improve it!
This is really interesting. I never use three way string comparison, and so I wondered when other programmers use it. (The obvious use case is sorting, but in Go, sort.Interface expects a Less function and sort.Slice accepts a "Less" function, so you won't use it there.)

I searched through my random checked out applications to see who calls strings.Compare, and why.

Most of them are mistaken sorting. In gVisor, there is this in a test:

...
cmpopts.SortSlices(func(a, b testEntryEventInfo) bool {
return strings.Compare(string(a.Addr), string(b.Addr)) < 0
}),
...

This pattern shows up a bunch:

// Less implements sort.Interface.
func (s fooSlice) Less(i, j int) bool {
return strings.Compare(s[i].Whatever, s[j].Whatever) == -1
}

In Go's Snowflake library, there is this:

if strings.Compare(s0, name) != 0 {
t.Error("a file was not downloaded by GET")
}

This is exceedingly interesting to me because you'd expect Compare to cost more than < (it does more stuff), and yet people are somehow baited into writing it. I'm guessing what happens is that people don't know that "<" works for strings, and they reach for strings.Compare, so the documentation is trying to talk them out of a program that doesn't actually make sense. In the case of "!= 0", they just wanted "s0 != name", which I take to mean they had absolutely no idea that strings in Go are comparable at all.

All in all, I get the impression that people coming from other languages to Go have different expectations about what the language can do. The documentation for strings.Compare is a logical place to correct them, but it doesn't bother. Just a comment that says "sucks if you use this".

BTW, there were a couple of correct uses. Gazelle has a sort function like this in a few places:

sort.SliceStable(sortedFiles, func(i, j int) bool {
if cmp := strings.Compare(sortedFiles[i].Path, sortedFiles[j].Path); cmp != 0 {
return cmp < 0
}
return sortedFiles[i].DefName < sortedFiles[j].DefName
})

Here they are punished for the inefficiency of strings.Compare; they would actually take advantage of it in the common case where the paths aren't equal over the easier approach of:

if xs[i].Path != x[j].Path {
return xs[i].Path < xs[j].Path
}
return xs[i].DefName < xs[j].DefName

Another correct use was in "goja" (a Javascript interpreter), which uses strings.Compare to implement Javascript's <string>.compareTo(<string>). Whether or not Javascript code is using compareTo correctly is an analysis I do not have the energy to do :)
