Experienced simulator instructors. This is how F-22, F-35, and other single-seat pilots learn before flying the actual jet solo for the first time.

"Level D" Simulators for transport aircraft are extremely realistic.

In the air, airliners have near constant communications with dispatch and would be able to phone home for any emergencies that require an additional or higher-level decision maker.

This discussion is a lot more complicated, and I don't think we'll see single-seat airliners for many decades anyways. Just wanted to answer your question.

Universities like the cheap foreign research labor. Foreign students depress wages for American ones. Americans opt out and choose a different career.

Could you use those in sentences to indicate where you think the ambiguity is?
Does anyone know a timeline for this? I've been subscribed to notifications via the "Notify Me" button on the page linked for a couple years it seems, with no progress updates.
> The only downside to all of this remoteness is the non-programmer workforce going remote.

I'm sure you can think of many other downsides than that. This topic has been discussed adnaseum, and there are many pros and cons of remote vs in-office
Such annoyances seem to be table stakes for modern media conglomerate sites these days. It's profoundly embarrassing to our species that even a publication like Fast Company purporting to be at the front edge of tech, business, and design, gives in to so much bloatware.
Software shipped by the distro maintainers I find is often properly locked down with systemd features, but third party stuff is always hit and miss. Definitely agree Tailscale should be shipping with the bare minimum privileges required.
The illusion of a dream that kept people grinding has shattered. Housing prices doubling means that it's now clear that you will never achieve financial freedom, not that most would have but now there is no hope. Without any end goal, it's pointless to give your 100%. Now people's next goal is to make best what you are gonna get, and that is to do minimum.

Does your UUID library use a cryptographic safe RNG?
Plenty of the things needed for establishing the sustainable long-term presence on the Moon that Artemis claims to aim for would benefit immensely from a cheaper SHLV that can fly more often. That's entirely why Starship ended up being such a valuable deal for NASA. Even the NASA OIG has been saying for a few years now that SLS with its current cost structure and flight rate is not compatible with Artemis's goal of being sustainable.
As a fan of both DXHR and Deus Ex Mankind Divided, I love this! Such a great series.
The average person here is older, more experienced, and has more education than any other link aggregator I've found which provides for a richer experience.

Ambiguity about ambiguities, delicious.
Not really, to the extent that Bell Labs undertook true basic research for its own sake, without much concern for any short/medium-term commercial potential. (No need to rock the boat commercially, while the parent corporation had a regulated monopoly to milk!)

Maybe some case could be made for Alphabet's "Other Bets" collectively, but...the Bell Labs column has nine Nobel Prizes in it...

Fortunately with modern technology, you can run your own composting waste disposal, water from rainwater or aquifer, electricity via solar panels and batteries and the entire package is surprising affordable. That is to say cheaper than in urban 2000 square-foot condo.
This seems like mental gymnastics to justify joining a cult. You realize that your kids only know what you tell them. It takes a very long time for them to even understand analytic thought. What you’ve said is essentially “I chose to join a cult and indoctrinate my kids from birth so they don’t believe anything else, even when presented a compelling reason to do so.”

If you really want them to make up their own mind, give them the tools to evaluate ideas, don’t stack the deck because you’re afraid they’ll come to a different conclusion than you. Of course you won’t do that because you believe in God, so you’re afraid that they won’t believe in God unless indoctrinated as a child. That’s what you meant by “if I let them "make up their own mind", they'll fall for whatever persuasive argument they first encounter.” Right? The alternative to believing in God is not believing. So you’re afraid they won’t believe in God if presented with a compelling argument unless they’ve already been indoctrinated.
What's the benefit of having the primary key before the row is stored in the database?

Maybe concurrent inserts to multiple data stores so you don't need to wait for an initial ID from the database. You'd have to trust the client to give you a “good” UUID as well as the normal distributed problems of one of the RPCs failing. I know both Twitter (called Snowflake iirc) and Google have unique ID services for this use case.
I always viewed Alexa as Amazon's way of enabling future re-investment of profits. The second you show w-street profit, they want it to only ever grow with future dividends. Amazon's entire model is growth over all else.

I've wondered if Alphabet's X/Waymo division operates in a similar manner. Giving future Alphabet a way to cut costs when it's growth stalls.
Maybe linking that to your account.

For all anyone knows they strip off the ID as soon as it hits their servers (which TFA also theorized) and only process the anonymous data.

Which, due to the excesses of big tech, they need to ensure users is happening because there is little trust left in that industry anymore.
Culture may be opposed to it, but Federal policy is very much in favor of undocumented immigration.
It is really nice if you actually work on site of company that holds your visa. A lot of H1s work in consulting companies that place them with the clients. These people are second-class citizens in the office, have much lower salary and less benefits. I've seen a lot of people who came to a company from some low-cost of living state - and being posted in California with the salary that is calculated based on that state. Also, those people with their families get tossed across the States really unceremoniously.
And Canada is 3-5x higher still.
Depending on the UUID algorithm, some are cryptographically sufficient true random, then it would make sense..
That depends. GTA V ran pretty well on the 360 which was pretty awful hardware even a decade ago.
From my experience even from bigger companies it is sometimes common practice.
"objective level details"

Are they? They seem like a manager can justify someone being at that level or not. There's certainly nothing in there about how consistently one must meet each of these. I guess seniors never need any guidance or help from a teammate...

Height difference between Koreas is not a genetic thing, it simply reflects the differences in child nutrition.
While it is not incorrect to refer to the people as the Spanish, the proper demonym is Spaniard. But people often use the former to refer to the people/nationality anyway. It also frequently gets into further confusion with related identities such as Hispanic, Latino, etc.
I'm curious, did you actually verify that "it's listening all the time to what goes on"? The Echo devices are supposed to only turn on full power and start listening when they detect the activation word ("Alexa" by default).
> 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.

What I see (especially in libraries like OpenSSL) is the core logic often receives a lot of scrutiny and testing, and thus it is silly mistakes with offsets and bounds checks that make up the majority of bugs.

It’s also worth considering the severity of different kinds of bug. A bug in high level logic might allow an attacker to do something they shouldn’t be able to do, but it doesn’t give them code execution.

The worst bit is, an attacker can often gain code execution through a part of the code that otherwise wouldn’t be security critical (where a logic mistake would be low impact). So writing code in a language that allows for these vulnerabilities greatly increases your attack surface.
I work at a small intersection between wine and tech. Wine is not fake, but from a marketplace view can be considered as the progenitor of much of what we see today in tech. Before Silicon Valley, before Crypto, before Semiconductors... there was wine. And pretty much all of the same hype-machine rules have applied. You see wine that almost anyone would like get no traction whatsoever, and marginal swill marketed with lots of money and by influencers winning awards and notoriety.
Because it’s not your fault, so feeling guilty or embarrassed about it is dumb.
I really hope Embracer lets them finish the Jensen Arc. DX:MD was actually incredible.
Very excited about this! I hope we'll see better support for Wi-Fi power save modes and CPU sleep soon.
Or they just show up at the office with a warrant and get all the data they want…
All the reasons you listed sound like a cult.

“I can’t leave the cult, my family will disown me.”

“I can’t leave the cult, everyone I know and care about is in the cult.”

“I can’t leave the cult. I need the leaders emotional support.”
Oh dear. Thats the worst lawyer joke I’ve heard and I’ve been at this for a spell.

At the very least I can easily distinguish the notes (in roasted coffee) that are the sugar/mellow flavors vs the sour/bright flavors.

Cocoa, chocolate, brown sugar, Graham cracker... These are all notes that I want my morning latte to taste like.

Berries, lemon, floral, citrus, melon... These are all flavors I can do in a cold afternoon coffee, but otherwise taste really sour to be.

But it's just two categories for me. I couldn't distinguish any of those flavors individually.
Russia Releases Detailed Views of Its ‘Satan’ Missile
Ah that’s fair. I have nothing but contempt for those sort of comments too. They feel like a sort of petty tyranny of small scale thinking. Good, clean software usually needs to go through a chaotic messy period to find its identity - and find what the core abstractions really are. Like, first get the big details wrong, then iterate until you get the big details right enough. Then focus on the medium details, then the small details. Then release. Doing that process out of order is at best a waste of time, and at worst a massive distraction. Our attention is our most precious commodity as programmers. Wasting it inappropriately is criminal.

If you want to move deck chairs around on the titanic, at least have the common decency not to drag the rest of us into your orbit of BS.
Ok cool, probably similar
This feels like one of those things where if they had just charged more per device and tried to make it as useful/unobtrusive as possible it would have been better than trying to use it as an ad/purchase machine and subsidize the hardware. I like my Echo and would have paid more for it, especially if it wasn't always trying to sell me things via Amazon Shopping and I trusted it to not record me for advertising.
It really was incredible. I am disappointed they did not finish the story arcs they set up for the main story, they had such great insidious plots brewing (Orchid?!) and in the end it was just a bomb at a convention. Human Revolution had a larger than life plot that only such a series can support, and they were almost getting there for MD as well but stopped short.

I hope that was just setting up a sequel.
That was more of a fun one suggested by our users...though there may be some extraterrestrials who would want to hedge against that, once we can operate outside of the US :)
The key aspect of learned helplessness is that the person has a lot of trouble changing their situation. Just being very averse to doing something does not fall under than unless the person also has trouble exiting from the situation that they are burnt out from, which is generally not the case with burnout.
Is it possible to chain multiple linked events and trade? For example, if I want to place a bet on inflation going to 15% in next 6 months or that the BLS will change the CPI composition/metric. Although I might expect the real inflation to go high as 15%, I might also expect politicians to change the goalpost as a response.

I believe solving this problem is the crux of the next major breakthrough (if it ever comes) in privacy and personal security. I'm not even sure a solution exists, but a lot can happen when smart people put their heads together on a seemingly intractable problem.
The Swedish just seem super up to date on Americans in general. Every one I meet apologizes for their English and then proceeds to speak immaculate English.

I don't know what units to use but if we count the buckets of progress from the first computer to today the industry has become like government tinkering with a tiny number of laws while most buckets of law had already been developed.

Our food? Our culture? Our language? What part did we play in making those? We added the word tweeting and are now trying to figure out what it should mean?

My concern is what kind of jobs want a generalist in 2 things? Software development isnt my passion per say, primarily because I like to work on physical things.
Crypto Lender Genesis Asks Binance and Apollo for Cash
Oh yeah, those are all good reasons, and there's a bunch more too. It's legacy tech that is cheap, reliable, and independent, it works well anywhere that has limited scale and cares more about cost than video quality. For example :

* Some hospitals, for instance, still have entire wards using DVDs. Downtime in a room is many tens-of-thousands-of-dollars lost per hour. Outpatient medical settings often use them as well (pediatricians offices, dialysis clinics, etc)

* Some schools are still tied to the format, for multimedia installations / video carts / pre-purchased equipment / etc.

* Tens-of-thousands of minivans are sold with infotainment that's always 10 years behind modern tech. (For almost 10 years, you had to have a binder-full-of-DVDs to use any Chrysler Minivan's video player system, the only other option was the analog RCA ports next to a kids seat). My 2016 Minivan, for example, only supports DVDs and nothing else (even though both BluRay and HDMI had been common standards for 10+ years by that point)

* And of course, there's millions of homes that aren't bothering to upgrade. (Netflix still has something like 2+ million unique DVD-only subscribers each month)
It does not cost nearly as much as the price premium.

A regular household fridge costs something like $100/year to run. My fridge has 20 cubic feet of volume, which is something like 500 liters. This suggests we can fit at least 100 bottles into it. This gives us $1/year as upper bound for storage costs per bottle. This is upper bound, because air conditioning costs go down with volume, due to square-cube law.

Point is, if the price premium was driven mostly by storage costs, it would be significantly lower than it actually is.

Northern Ireland has its own Football team, though I guess anyone who was born in NI has the right to be an RoI citizen they could choose to play for RoI instead. There is only a single Irish Rugby team though.
I’m still surprised they never came out with a new “sim” memory card format for movies. Streaming has gone main stream, but lots of people still like owing their movies.
I offered this asshole money years ago when he seemed in trouble. Him pretending to "fix" the colors.js lib while the bug was obviously put there on purpose was beyond the pale. Who does he think he is fooling?

Now just consider how much time you need to spend on it vs. how much $37 is worth to you, and just throw the slip out to the bin if that's not a net positive.

It's still capitalist big corp winning, but people really should value their own time more than they do.
“California Middle Class Tax Refund” sounds like a phishing scam
The example given in the article is that Kim Kardashian was fined $250K for not disclosing that she had been paid to endorse a cryptocurrency on Instagram.

In a TV commercial, sure, you assume that celebrities are paid to appear. But on a social media page that blends personal and commercial brands?

Maybe this could be a monetization avenue for Twitter: a #PaidForBy field that doesn't count against your character limit, and links to the approved brand page.

The atmosphere in the apartments are so good. Almost a cosy dystopia. The first Deus Ex was my first experience with a "safe zone" and "hub world" in gaming and I remember it changed my entire outlook on what games could be. I didn't have to be fighting to exist in the world, and calmly exploring the space and the story was so refreshing.

Probably why I enjoy "walking simulators" so much.
Cost of manufacture, and taxes...

"The natural advantages which one country has over another, in producing particular commodities, are sometimes so great, that it is acknowledged by all the world to be in vain to struggle with them. By means of glasses, hot-beds, and hot-walls, very good grapes can be raised in Scotland, and very good wine, too, can be made of them, at about thirty times the expense for which at least equally good can be brought from foreign countries."

On one hand, sending weekly status updates is a perfectly reasonable thing to ask for. Personally, I would prefer an email update to a meeting. On the other hand, asking 2000+ employees to send a weekly update to one person and not having them see it as pointless busywork, doesn’t seem reasonable.
This kind of bug is unacceptable for a supposedly private cloud service. I wonder how long the bug has been around and whether it is at all related to the recent roll out of iCloud Shared Photo Library.

Looks nice, but I've become kind of jaded on 'task/time management' as a concept. At least for me (and maybe others) I don't want to micro-optimize my day. I'd rather have more room for spontaneous creativity and fun. I don't want to feel like I'm on an assembly line being fed things to do one at a time.

And I've also found that focusing too much on small details can cause you to miss big picture work that has much more effect. For example, you optimize preparing for a meeting, but you don't stop to think "maybe I don't even need this meeting?". Or you have very detailed implementation for some feature, but you don't think about maybe a different feature would be more valuable.

I have been casually thinking of what a task management solution that encourages more spontaneous and creative work would look like.
The real question is how have you lost it?
2007 is definitely "recent" when we're talking about the Constitution.
