The detractors have already made up their mind. I count myself as one of them in the wider space because I'm pretty much a BTC maxi, but the same applies there.

I mean, Bitcoin has been running for 12 years and there's been, as far as I know, one hiccup (the 2010 overflow bug, before it was worth really anything at all, that was fixed by miners simply abandoning that chain). Yet it's "died" about a trillion times in the media.

The DOJ is asking the SC to not take cert, and leave the court of appeals' ruling in place. That ruling says that NSO does not have immunity and therefore can be sued and held liable for its actions, because it is not a foreign government.

What exactly does that show?
You have the most context on the situation. What options do you see internally? What options do you have externally?

If things are exactly as you stated, then you may be best served looking for a new role. Before that, I would recommend asking your manager for more responsibility and ownership.

>so if you're just taking a few quick sips (as most taste tests are set up), you may prefer the sweeter taste of Pepsi because it stands out more, but if you're drinking a whole bunch, the sweeter taste of Pepsi can feel cloying.

This is not about drinking or sipping though. This is about people prefer Pepsi in blind tests and Coke in unblinded tests.

So this explanation would only make sense if the blind tests are also using sipping and the unblinded tests are using drinking.

For those who were curious about the legal term "certiorari" (as I was):

> "Certiorari is generally associated with the writ that the Supreme Court of the United States issues to review a lower court's judgment. A case cannot, as a matter of right, be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. As such, a party seeking to appeal to the Supreme Court from a lower court decision must file a writ of certiorari.

> In the Supreme Court, if four Justices agree to review the case, then the Court will hear the case. This is referred to as "granting certiorari," often abbreviated as "cert." If four Justices do not agree to review the case, the Court will not hear the case. This is defined as denying certiorari."

The limit laws were put in place for the opposite reason of xenophobia and cruelty. It was to give immigrants from ALL countries a chance, and to provide a diverse group of new Americans. There is not going to ever be unlimited immigration, so knowing that, it is only fair to divide green cards among countries. Xenophobia would be if the USA only gave visas to Western Europeans and Australia/Canada. I remember in the 80s it was pretty common to find 'undocumented' Canadians and Irish. Your argument wouldn't stand up then as xenophobic USA not wanting those foreign Canadians and Irish, and it doesn't hold up now. The USA is has some of the largest legal immigration rates in the world.
I’ve used it over USB 3 for several years. The thing is that USB controller hardware isn’t perfect, and the bus can break down. If it does break down, chances are the pool metadata becomes corrupt, which means the pool is irretrievably lost.

In theory, a corrupted zpool isn’t a problem, because you should be backing up your pool all the time.

In practice, it’s a double-edged sword.
The downside is that whenever the pool becomes corrupt, you have to do a restore.
The upside is that whenever the pool becomes corrupt, you get to do a restore, which you probably wouldn’t do regularly otherwise.

Whether or not your bus is going to break down sporadically is unpredictable.

The pre-acquisition plan was a 75% layoff, which leaves us at ~1875 people. So still some room for layoffs but he also needs a buffer in case of further volunteer departures. I think they are done with mass layoffs at this point.
One of the big differences in this category (cheap wines) is consistently. You can genuinely find great wines, but there is much greater variance in the quality year to year, or within variety of the same winery. In other words, the following year might be a crap wine, good, or in-between.

>One of the points he made was that there are absolutely wines which are objectively better and worse and that experts can reliably tell them apart. He had met enough experts who could identify a vineyard and vintage blind to know there was something to it.

Identifying a specific wine is easy, even non experts can learn to do it.

What experts have shown to fail is telling good wines from bad wines, cheapo wines from expensive wines, and so on, in blind tests.

There they are not asked to identify a label and vintage they already known and are familiar with (because they drank it before), but to detect quality.

The DOJ brief explicitly says that the NSO group cannot claim this immunity, and that the lower court ruled correctly -- so no need for SCOTUS to take the case.
Note that I was responding to post mentioning 'provably correct code' which is very different opportunistic efforts to improve code.

Valgrind and fuzzing are useful tools, but there is no general method. Being semi-decidable, with enumerable inputs. This means that fuzzing can be useful both with random walks and constrained random walks. But it doesn't come close to generating 'provably correct code'.

The 'Post correspondence problem' is maybe an easier way to see how this applies at the compiler level.

But tools that help are opportunistic, but that doesn't change the undecidability of generalizations.

While crossing domains, but because it is commonly used, considering the VC dimensionality of the problem also helps, or pure math problems like the Collatz conjecture that generalize to the same halting problem.

Generating 'provably correct code' in the general case is simply not possible without major advances in math. There is room to improve with many paths to do so, just not going down this particular path.
Maybe this supports the articles theory, but I feel wine is more of an experience more than just the chemical composition of the drink. After all, wine isn't consumed just for it's nutritional content.

You can get a good story from a bottle of wine - particularly around the vintage. Things like weather conditions in the years leading up to the pick and then right at the pick, volume of grapes and maturation method.

No it doesn't. Simply asserting this statement does not make it so. Modern US culture is very much anti undocumented immigration, but that is something completely different. No one is pushing to cut the 1 million green cards issues a year, and that would be happening is what you claim was even remotely true.
When a C program is factored well there needn't be all that much access by pointer + index. I'm not saying it can't be frequent in certain kinds of code, but for many things it's easy to just put a simple abstraction (API consisting of a few functions) that you have to get right once, then can reuse dozens of times.

Plain pointer access in high-level code (say when parsing a particular syntactic element by hand in a recursive descent parser) is a violation of the principle of separation of concerns IMO.

In any case I still don't see what's special about parsers. Most vulnerabilities I suspect to be in the higher levels, like validating parsed numbers and references, for a trivial example. In general, those are checks that are likely to be implemented much closer at the core of the application.

Not mixing between years, but you can mix between different vineyards of the same year. As long as the wine comes from the same region you can keep the branding. There are plenty of contract vineyards that sell to different wineries to enable these mixes.
My read here is that the Federal government is supporting the idea that NSO is not immune from suit, so, uh, I think you may have missed something.

Thoughts on Learning
A rather large percentage of businesses catering to the maga / anti-woke / right-wing zealot customer base are pretty transparent attempts to grift their customers. Questionable products run by sketchy people that straight-up lie about their products and services.

I'm not familiar with this particular business, so maybe it wasn't blatantly grifting. Seems like it was run by someone who shouldn't be running a bank, pseudo or real, though.

Thanks for this comment, I have been thinking of alternative ways for compensating artists and almost always conclude that it is, indeed, the state that needs to take charge of it.

Though I guess the problem is a little bit more complex in that, in reality, an artist is not only an artist in the USA but a world-wide phenomenon. So that complicates things a bit.

What was most surprising was the number in sales which is significantly lower than I expected and most definitely something that can be managed.

I also quite favor a pre-funding stage for top artists. Brandon Sanderson recently had a kickstarter for a couple new books and he raised I think around 40 millions dollars for it. Though this to me highlighted the exact problem with copyright, how is it that a popular author is capable of funding their entire life several times over with a kickstarter campaign but their works are not public? Isn't he kind of doubling down? Of course, people are willing to pay. But I think in order to change the system, which to me is clearly broken, solidarity from top artists is necessary. Don't think we will get that anytime soon though, as artists at the top benefit from the current situation much more than they would in any other regime.

I think everyone is treated with respect. No country has to process permanent residency applications for everyone, and no country has to provide a visa for foreigners to work period. The system is overwhelmed and they get to make their policies.

I worked at a customer that upgraded to major new MySQL version and boosted the hw to 4x more performant (ram+cores).
Result: their average transaction time climbed from 0.1ms to 0.2ms and all support personnel started complaining since the their software started taking 4 seconds to load a new screen instead of 2 seconds. The support systems operated on raw data with no cache to show the actual state.

Managed to fix the problem and restore performance by suggesting we disable the MySQL query cache which was slowing down the system with more cores.

And this was nothing to do with banking or high frequency anything. Just code that did lots of small queries to fill a screen full of data to support persons.

We recognise that while our due diligence processes may mitigate certain risks, it is not practicable to eliminate all risks.

How about the risks that a16z had no trouble identifying, probably without spending 8 months thinking about it?

Like, the founder is an immature scumbag who plays video games during important phone calls, and who has no concept of "financial controls"? Was it practicable to eliminate that risk?

I only worked with shepherds for a few years about 50 years ago.

These are all my personal observations, so anecdotal.

I do recall rams taking leads. Most of the rams had bells on their necks.

The only thing sheep in general were able to do is follow the sound of the closest bell.

Most think that in large flocks the shepherd directs the dogs to guide all the sheep. This is not the case with the shepherds I worked with. They only need to guide the "edge" rams. All the sheep follow the loudest bell. The rams in the middle of the herd follow the edge rams' bell, and the edge rams get guided by the dogs. The dog gets directed by the shepherd. Exception to this is when there are stragglers.

Sheep do rotate, that is, if you look at it from the top and the herd makes a circle then the circle keeps rotating, both overall, and rotating the inner ones outwards. They do this while moving in a general direction. Weirdest thing to see.

There were some herds where few billy goats with bells were included. If a herd gets attacked they make a circle, all sheep facing inward. The goats all face outward. Go figure.

As a last note, ram riding is not as easy as it seems. As a little boy I try to hang on, but they go from 0 to crazy in seconds, and blow into the middle of the herd. Then, spend hours to get the flees off.
Yeah, I’m sick of it but it’s about the only thing I can do at this point. Any other options seem at least equally miserable or a pipe dream. My career is basically dead at this point, so maybe it’s still worth it to jump ship while I’m young.
