> The RAM is soldered to the motherboard, something that iFixit would typically penalize in the past. But iFixit says that given the power savings and performance boost from proximity to the CPU, it can't punish the decision.

... seriously? At this point it's beginning to feel like iFixit is selling out to these companies. Score of 7/10 and the RAM is soldered. That doesn't compute for me.

If the SSD is actually replaceable as the teardown indicates, that's a huge plus.

If the wifi/BT module is still integrated, that's a big fat minus, because those are the most likely parts that have failed on pretty much every iteration of the Surface and I'm sick and tired of seeing these insanely expensive and impossible to repair devices with parts that quickly fail.
No mention of pension or other benefits?
This is the best approach in my mind too. Getting kids in through the front door is very difficult. It takes a very particular mindset to believe the best place to start kids programming today would be to start with C.

The same arguments used to be made about learning BASIC first and how it would ruin future programmers.

Well my Surface Pro 3 got retired due to a brocken connect port.

The only reason why I bought a Pro 7 was the UBs-C port that allowed charging so that another Bbocken connector wouldnt mean a death sentence.
What does that even mean? Github cannot access "tracking cookies" from Google. They have very limited data available to them (browser cookies - easily cleanable, IP address – can use VPN or just renew your lease from your ISP, other scripts – block them through a browser extension). If you are getting tracked across the internet by Github – especially as a software engineer – you are simply not trying hard enough.
All these people were happy to facilitate the destruction of society and spread fake news. I have no sympathy.

Silly suggestion - show something like the contribution graph along the very bottom of the card, like a border. Those who know what it means will _know_, to everyone else it's just decorative.
This method doesn't eliminate counter-party risk does it? You'd need to use open-source hardware, write your own C compiler in assembler, then write a Python interpreter, along with the standard library and cryptographic functions, and finally the actual wallet, while making sure your code isn't compromised during the entire process. I forgot the OS, which also needs to be written from scratch.
Makes you wonder who else in the crypto space is lying through their freakin' teeth, don't it?
After spending some time in SoCal, they do have to live "10 people to a three bedroom" to make the math work.

I was not impressed with much that I saw in Cali other than the natural beauty.

Even the education system established in the 20th century no longer exists.

It looks like California is running on fumes, not anything they made this century (IMO).

Just give somebody chance to take responsibility and look.

Sometimes humans make mistakes, but mostly all divide to who want and take responsibility, and who don't want and don't take.

Sometimes people fake responsibility, because got something valuable for them, like possibility to use power to abuse others.
After some time you will see.
Except that the contract already covers misuse and other rules with suspension as a result. But nobody reads the rules, and instead complain when they are applied to them.

Inversely, it would be interesting to see what the result is if the ban was not following the contract and terms of use but just the choice of an individual moderator. I don't know how much wiggle room they have to make such choices.
You can claim capital losses a tax deduction up to $3000 per year and it carries over to subsequent years. So this isn’t entirely true.
Evading censorship in less democratic countries, for a start. I've had to do this quite a number of times on my travels - and its even more important for people in the human rights field.

Tor's "meek" pluggable transport uses domain fronting for this purpose.

I work in the so called "infosec" field, and about half the field are myopic wankers who would readily sacrifice privacy wholesale to gain an ounce of so called security. Think: the kind of people who also want to cripple eSNI or DoH in the name of "network monitoring".
Because Chrome kind of sabotaged the project by dropping Dartium, while Angular team decided to sponsor Typescript and moved away from Dart.

The language was saved from dying by AdWords, which had just migrated from GWT into AngularDart.

Key designers from Dart 1.0 eventually left Google, like Gilad and Lund.

Flutter gave it a new life, but also is the only reason to use Dart, Flutter apps.

"Big Tech" is a distraction. They barely even "sell" data; rather, they use it to power platforms where advertisers can target users without learning who they are. At such a large scale there are obviously exceptions (see: Cambridge Analytica), but directly selling user data is generally not how they make their money.

The abuses of the companies you never hear about are orders of magnitude worse. They are plugged into every institution of society you interact with in your daily life, so you essentially can't opt out, and their primary business model is siphoning off sensitive de-anonymized personal data and selling it to anybody willing to pay. It ought to be criminal, and the fact that it isn't just goes to show how captured and neutered our government has become.

I assume our legislators' PR focus on "Big Tech" wrt. data privacy is by design. If the American people really understood the true shape of things, there'd be blood in the streets.

(I'm not saying "Big Tech" doesn't cause substantial harm, but in my view it's harm of a different sort.)
Are you going to stick it through or transition to something else?
It would be nice but factoring in costs and profits I doubt that will happen unless some curious and incredibly wealthy philanthropist contributed to some research. About 15 years of experimenting on myself has bypassed my own personal need for studies and I am entirely off all prescription medications. It was not easy and I made a few mistakes along the way, but have very few regrets.
I've heard some people can (train themselves to?) tell when the CO2 level rises in the room. Has anyone here managed to? If so, do you have any tips on how (or whether!) to do this, and/or what it feels like (if it's possible to give any vague explanation in text)?

Property tax is regressive and nobody should be forced out of their own home because of rising property taxes that might only be due to a housing bubble. I don't see the problem.
I’ve got a good few years of full-time parenting left and that’s the biggest priority. But my kids seem pretty happy and secure, they’re confident and curious at school and I’m managing not to project too many of my insecurities onto them. But I do dream of the day they’re gone (and then back and gone again, no doubt).

I’ve been loving studying Ancient Rome. At the very least I’d like more time just to tear through the growing shelves of books I’ve bought aspirationally. Maybe I’d try to do a D.Phil one day but I suspect that would be stressful and pure vanity.

Ultimately I just want to eliminate stress. I think I still have a couple of startups left in me after this one but I’d love to pursue them as projects in my own time, the primary aim being my own curiosity not other people’s demands.
Well, in US law they might not be.

But in other countries, is more complicated than that.

In Brazil, those kinds of bans behaviors are not ok under consumer protection laws, and also their TOS where they don’t guarantee anything even for paid accounts is definitely not ok and suable for damages if something happens.
The last sentence is crucial and probably what will get SBF in trouble.

Huh, `@vercel/og` is interesting! It looks like the same approach as `html2canvas` (implement custom rendering for each HTML element + CSS property), with all the tradeoffs that entails, but they actually rightly limited some of the features they're willing to support (like external stylesheets). And it looks like it'll be more supported than `html2canvas` currently is.

I quite like `dom-to-image-more` (sorta active fork of `dom-to-image`) that renders a SVG with a foreignElement that is a data URL of an XHTML page to a canvas. It also led me to rewriting my own image rendering stuff to just build an SVG in DOM, use toDataURL on it, and then render that in a canvas. So much simpler
For Software Performance, the Way Data Is Accessed Matters
The real problem is companies that expect employees to use free consumer-grade services for their work and are therefore held to those SLAs. Github has an enterprise plan where an employer can use their own SSO and doesn't have to rely on you setting up a personal account. Why not use that instead? Right, because they have to then pay for it.

If you are using a service for work, you should not be expected to maintain a direct relationship with them. It's on your employer to negotiate account creation, terms of use, payment, banning or whatever else. This is exactly how something like, say, Slack works.
I buy Apple laptops because the hardware is the best out there. My first MBP lasted 7 years... And it's still running fine (battery capacity is at 70%). I can run whatever software I need via VMs.

I don't need iCloud, nor GarageBand nor Apple Music, nor...

I pay premium for the hardware, not the software.
The tesla sales numbers also include their hybrid offerings?

I suppose it is a matter of opinion whether 25k constitutes "mass production" or not.

Seemingly Tesla did not break that threshold for 5 years. The OP I took to imply that tesla drove production of _all_ EVs from roughly zero to large scale. The data I'm seeing still does not support that claim. Within Tesla, yes, but globally, no.

Eg: While significant, tesla was not more than 20% of global EVs sold (in recent years) [1].

Tesla's are still expensive too? 2023 models look to start at $70k to $110k

It's not clear to me where our apples are turning into oranges since the different delivery numbers do not line up (perhaps hybrid vs not, perhaps pre-order and sold vs built - not sure)

Regardless, the [2] citation says of the response above states: "Clearly, the production and sales ramp in the second half of 2018 is the first big, noticeable bump in Tesla’s output."

The time frame is very significant as it alludes to whether Tesla was the reason for EV growth from zero, or if they are a significant (but not sole) part of a larger trend.

Quick google has 3M EVs sold in 2019, compared to tesla selling 10% of that. The rest of the car industry was not dormant.

I do agree though that going from 1k's to 100k's is a big leap. The fact it is in the same general ballpark as F150s is remarkable. The rub though is that happened over 10 years, mostly over the last 5 and during a period where absent tesla there was still very strong YoY sales growth of EVs

In sum, is Tesla the birth of EVs? No, but it is nonetheless a significant and remarkable part.

Yeah github is a funny one - I use my personal github for work, and I know many people who do. Whereas if your work uses g-suite or outlook/O365, it's not like you just use your personal google or hotmail (or whatever ms has now) account with it. Separate, and centrally managed would be better, I don't know how we got here

Unfortunately some of these posts landed on my LinkedIn timeline so read a few.

I’m really not sure what these people are trying to achieve.

Appeal to FB that they love it so much that pretty please rehire them?

Appeal to others to hire them, well there are much better ways to write those notes.

Personally, and maybe this is my bias against FB speaking, but if a person is saying that their entire worth was FB and FB this and that, and how lucky they were to be at FB, well it doesn’t give me much confidence in the abilities of a person.

On top of that, there’s another set of people offering intros and mock interviews and such to strangers. Great for getting some likes, but not sure how much they will really help if say 100s/1000s of people were to ping them suddenly.

In my opinion, these things work best quietly. Reach out on 1:1 basis to people you know and expand network. Don’t sob in public.
My guess is that either FTX did not furnish them with accurate or truthful information, or the information was correct at the time, but the lack of good governance allowed FTX to pursue some rotten strategies without the knowledge of their investors.

B-17 bomber collides with smaller plane at Dallas airshow
Agreed. There's also the question of the stopping point - or how do you balance earning vs giving. Some day SBF is still worth $900M. Is he giving that away? Probably not, because he thinks it's easier to make a ton of money with a half ton of money. So he'll hoard his money in the hopes of making more money, but from the perspective of the starving person, his behavior is the same as a greedy billionaire who keeps their money for their own personal use.

For all his talk of altruism, what has he actually done so far? Compared with, say, Mackenzie Scott, who is actually putting her money where her mouth is?

From what little I could find, perhaps he has written $160M worth of grants, and it is questionable if those will even be paid out, or who they went to, or over what time period. So that is 0.6% of his wealth at peak.

For reference, people who make less than $30-50k/yr(who generally have a negligible net worth and are sustained by their income) donate on average 5%[0] of their income to charity each year. An average Joe or Jane appears to be literally 10x more altruistic than SBF from what I can find.

Good luck. You know that there are some optics to how responsive you are to these comments, and how un-responsive you are to comments that asked you to say more about what your "controversial comments" were. I'm beginning to think they might not just have been about ad blockers.

'California has a lot of extremely rich people and a high income tax'
The challenge here is that most 'extremely rich' people (including UK PM Rishi Sunak who has a large house in California) have all their money offshore.

In the prooposals at the end:
'Write a software application that matches program beneficiaries with a household (or more likely, a combination of households) that paid an equivalent amount in the same year. For example, our San Francisco homeowner from earlier that received $16,500 might get matched with five middle class families that rent in Fresno who pay $3,300 each in sales taxes each.7 Now we have made it into an “adopt-a-property owner” program. This makes the benefit much more tangible for taxpayers'.

This attempt at equity in a blisteringly expensive state makes more sense when viewed through the prism of the federal HUD 'housing first' laws around where money can be spent. Again it would be far better to have a nationwide match of properties to owners. A friend has calculated the billion+ spent by Cal on the unhoused could buy housing and wrap around services in other parts of the USA for virtually all the people asking for this.
I doubt they got very far. Most of the pages cut off very early since humans never went more than a page or two in.

This is getting close to the core inflection point. The question is, where do these ethics systems come from? Why do some people value collectivism over individualism and vice versa? These beliefs seem to be deeply held and very hard to change.

Usually grad students get projects to investigate or prove a particular idea. It’s especially straightforward to do this when the advisor is iterating on a line of ideas, and you resume where the last grad student left off. There isn’t a point in building anything other than to test the idea, so you don’t want feedback to bias you in what direction to go.
So? It's a proof of concept.

Tinker away, laws be damned.
I totally agree. I don't even see how they have any upside here, if they do this too much they'll lose business and doing it at all invites people to demand that they keep doing it.

> - Bank starts with $0 capitalisation or deposits - Customer goes to bank and asks for $1 loan - Bank believes customer is creditworthy and says yep

No bank starts out with $0 capitalisation and then makes up money along the way. This has never happened.

> Commercial banks all agree with each other that they accept each other's demand deposit accounts as a form of money.

This is not true either. If a bank is known to have no capital, other banks will refuse to accept transfers from it without immediate settlement.
If you use an air gapped computer, why use a hardware wallet at all? Why not just a software wallet?

Apart from that, using an air gapped computer is a good idea! I would say you need at least two of them. With different wallets. And then compare everything they do to make sure they do not play any tricks on you.

Using GSE and DVB-S2 for IP Traffic
To my understanding a ground isn't necessary for equipment to operate at all, however it sinks the EMI, reducing floating neutral voltage and noise.

PC equipment such as voltage regulators put out a lot of noise. The neutral is not bonded to the metal chassis when a ground is not present, meaning the difference in potential in the chassis cannot be synced with ground, causing various crazy issues. It's why cases still are overwhelmingly metal, steel mostly.
