The Google founders did a lot of work initially. And then, my job was enabled thanks to that work and the investments.

Your point only works if the company is stable and the work is keeping that company running, but Google has expanded exponentially every year, it hasn't reached the stable rent seeking stage yet. All those profits were reinvested in the form of salaries and jobs, if those went to the early workers then I'd never have gotten a job there and I'd have to live with a much much smaller salary. Stable rent seeking businesses are a problem, yes, that is the bad kind, but modern tech is too young for companies to have reached that stage.

So with your model I'd have made less money, that isn't good for me. Your model only works momentarily, when you stop growing the company and suddenly start to pay everything to current workers. But all the future workers whose jobs were enabled by those reinvestments would then be worse off, and I'd be one of those workers since I joined close to two decades after Google was founded. By the time I left there were twice as many people working there, their salaries were paid by the labour done by the previous workers, and Google barely pays profits so far so most of this actually went back to the workers, just future workers and not current ones, that is why I can't say that I deserve more than I got, I paid it forward as thanks for those who made my job possible.

Edit: And about unions, did you know that Google also operates in countries with strong unions? I joined the company in one of those. And you know, Google started paying me much more when I moved from that country to a country where unions weren't strong? How is this possible if those strong unions would make me get more? So apparently unions don't make these jobs pay more, in my experience it is the opposite, they didn't even manage to get my salary up to par with my non union co-workers. Unions mostly cares about the median, they don't care about high end workers that already makes a lot, unions aren't for me.
You are right, it's a pulsed system. The operation goes like this:

1. Fill the chamber with D and He3

2. Ionize the fuel and compress the plasma

3. The fusion starts and pushes back the magnetic field producing electricity

4. Stop everything

5. Vacuum and start again

So before the plasma is polluted with p, T and He4, the pulse has ended. The side reaction D+T does not get the time to happen much.

I'm using a different notation than yours: 3He, 3H, 2H, H are He3, T, D, p

T is tritium, D is deuterium, and p is protium (a proton)
Sure, and it's also possible to live off the land and grow all of your own food: it's obviously possible, and people actually do it, but it doesn't scale to any reasonable degree.
When WinRT got released, I thought, they finally did it the right way.

AOT compilation, with managed languages on top of COM, in a sense bringing back VB 6, and an approximation of C++ Builder.

Then management messed it all up.
Maybe Google's new "Rune" language will become prevalent https://github.com/google/rune, which supports SoA.
In the first paragraph they say:

> QOI has become my default choice for embedded image assets.

Embedded means they are working on stuff with low amounts of storage, computing speed and memory. If you are developing for embedded you are developing for electronics products typicyally. Every byte you can shave off can ultimately increase the return on investment. Using a traditional image format on embedded might not be possible because you don't have the program memory to store a complex decoder. If you decoder is 10 times bigger than the assets it is meant to decode, maybe there is not so much benefit in using it.

The simplest decoder you can go with would be just storing the value of the pixels in a bitmap and teading that out of that array. This however has the downside that you got no compression on the assets at all. If you have very simple color spaces (e.g. 1bit), tiny resolutions and few assets this might be an acceptable choice, but the choice gets worse as you get more assets, higher resolutions more channels or more bits per channel.

That means according to the author there is a space between just storing bitmaps and just using a png decoder where there were no good goto solutions before and they found a good solution with QOI.

No, if you read the scientific publication, no one was treated. It's just a quick and inexpensive in vitro experiment, not even done with multiple commercial cell lines to confirm or refute the results.

Similarly it could have been tested in living organisms (although most findings in mice don't translate to humans).

awh thanks :)

Maybe I will, but I've had this update pending (see preview here[0]) that adds some major algorithms that any self-respecting voting theory nerd would expect to see. I started my first software job right as I was wrapping that up though and never fully got through with it. Maybe this winter break I'll have time tho... I'd like to have that update out before sharing it more loudly

Scratch the surface a little bit and the marxist envy comes out quite easily.

From "Green new deal" type stuff, where technical solutions don't count because rich people would still be richer than poor people or something, to the new "degrowth" strategy which barefacedly tells us we need to be worse off, be fewer, or both.

Why? Because these activists are rich, bored, and useless. And playing polo and buying fast cars is not an acceptable use of their time anymore, no, now they compete between themselves to see who saves the world the hardest.

Don't look for any logical explanation, go to the eschatological ones and you'll have better luck.
Not sure what you mean with "You can find"? I'm not the one making the claims?

In my book not having a phone number and not attempting to answer and resolve the issue isn't "dealing with it". That would be not dealing with something.

I was curious and looked at some.

I couldn't think of an automated way of obtaining the numbers. Maybe someone else (you lol) has some idea or is willing to do a few lines of data entry.
With this kind of logic, you could then just as easily say the workers of google are exploiting the shareholder's capital to profit as they didn't bring any of their own with them. Just as soon as things will go bad for google, all the developers will find another jobs and shareholders will be left suffering the losses.
> A process that entails boiling water to 100C

That doesn't mean it's actually served at that temperature, for the same reason that me baking a pizza at 200C in my oven doesn't mean it's actually 200C when served. Serving temperatures are typically far lower than cooking/brewing temperatures - in the case of tea or coffee, typically below 80C - unless, of course, it's McDonald's or Starbucks overcooking the bejeezus out of their beverages for the sake of cheapness and consistency.
I strongly doubt the issue preventing support for these patients is the intelectual property in general. Source code, I agree, but things like medical patents are irrelevant if you have to replace a battery cell in a custom form factor or chemistry that is no longer manufactured, per the article. The insurers actively fought the patient changing his own battery.

You also diminish the expected value of the startup because the ability to liquidate IP after comercial bankruptcy is a factor reducing risk - investors get at least something back. If you dictate confiscation of that IP, you also reduce the willingness to invest in what already is a very risky proposition. And that's how you get to a 3 trillion ponzi bubble in crypto that solves no problem, while similar investment into medical startups would create thousands of products, treatments and long term wealth.

Sorry, but no amount of downvotes will make me accept a clearly populist and virtue signaling approach that will actively harm patients and discourage investment in medical innovation.
Are the best available compressors for the format open source as well? That would be news to me, although I admit I haven't looked into the format in quite some time.

More generally, my point about video games was just that you can frequently cut their size by 50-75% just by turning on file compression on the game directory. Developers are obviously missing some easy wins in this area - including huge wins with lossless compression alone.
In that case, CAA doesn't help either because that record could also be faked. The answer of course is that you need DNSSEC in order for this to work, in which case the DNS challenge is already secure against spoofing without the need for this particular CAA extension.

It doesn't hurt to have this feature, but I suspect it would primarily protect against misconfigured DNS (where there's a CNAME someone forgot to remove that points to a hosting provider an attacker can get an account on). And of course, for making the HTTP challenge more secure.
At least in America, there's a tendency to endless, stupid junior-high-school-style drama in municipal government.

I've been using vim for 10+ years and followed closely the explosion of new plugins and the emergence of neovim.

After spending way too much time configuring my own vimrc and reading others', I'm happy I've found this community a driven package. It's better, smarter and more polished than what I could have built myself, and I like the defaults.

So, in fact, it also suits the not-so newbies who want good dedaults and openness for configuration.
but bad Software can encourage/reinforce bad practices and discourage good practices.

A good example for this is Slack which is to some degree a manifestation for bad practices for technical communication (is okay for small talk I guess).

This is the problem with so many companies these days in terms of not being able to get hold of anyone and just getting thrown into a loop of bot replies and semi-relevant faq pages.

I run a small business in UK and have had a few issues in the past where I've been unable to get any sort of resolution through regular channels and I've actually contacted my local MP and asked them to help intervene or at least reach a person in authority who could own the problem.

I may not agree with his actual political party but as a local MP he is good with small businesses and uses the clout of his office and name. Obviously YMMV on this depending on your MP but desperate times etc.

Six stories is probably my preferred urban scale, but the 5 over 1 buildings we get in the US are just terrible. A six story apartment in Berlin has windows front and back while the US version has windows only on one side due to the long central corridor to connect to the two stairwells required by US regulations (a result of the wood construction?)
Right, the paper cites a lot of other papers which looked more relevant on the broader topic of what unions do to pay.

The area that gets a say, should surely be the area impacted by it.

Wonder if the relative lack of a Colonial past plays a role in the German experience today. The Brits, French, Spanish, Portuguese all had a long-term personal all-class interaction with the rest of the world. The rest of the world might not have been all that pleased, but intermarriage, educational opportunities, economic investment made “the Other” (or at least some Others) acceptable and even desirable. Granted it took 100-200 years to have that happen…and the Europeans were basically living a Peace Corps experience (sometimes War Corps but still) collocated with the Natives in their Countries. That does something to a person, and thus to a society. Germans, not so much.
This isn't about unknown unknowns. The blog post made it clear that the team did not anticipate temperatures to change much in their surroundings. That is a very narrow-minded view: places with around-the-year stable temperatures are the exception, not the rule.

I was born and raised in a place where the annual temperature range can be 90°K. From -55°C in the winter to +35°C in the summer. That is not even an extreme range, there are well-known places with large populations (>10MM) that can experience >100°K differentials.

Perhaps more importantly, temperature changes of 40°K in less than 24h are not uncommon. Daily deltas of 25°K are experienced several times a year.

If a company builds hardware, and they don't factor in a routine impact of thermal effects, they really have no excuse. Choosing to ignore these can be a valid product development or marketing strategy, but not being aware of them is nothing short of myopic.

Most small business I've found don't accept credit/debit cards for large transactions and instead want direct (cash) bank transfers because they fear the money going missing or getting a chargeback. This has its only issues as its slow and not very customer friendly.

The problem with tools that rely on apktool is that they tend to fail to patch the most sophisticatedly obfuscated apps typically banking apps. This is because they abuse implementation details in the Android source to essentially make it possible to unpack the app while installing, but impossible to repackage it (usually using sketchy non-utf8 characters and broken Manifests).
The only way I found to patch these apps is by making them debuggable and then injecting Frida at run-time. This is possible by delicately patching the Manifest as precisely as possible.
Full disclosure, I made a Python script without any dependencies: https://github.com/julKali/makeDebuggable
Wow I'm glad to hear such people exist. I dread doing DevOps though I really value good DevOps setups. I just want to write my code.
Linear is a class of color spaces, so which one? It's like if I said some data is in "text format". Is it JSON? YAML? XML? The Unity docs[1] refer to linear vs gamma, not linear vs sRGB. Same with other resources I'm finding. They do call out sRGB as the standard non-linear space, which is consistent with what I'm saying: linear and gamma are classes of color spaces, so which linear space is it?

Normal maps aren't images for all that they have an intuitive visual representation. In particular they don't have colors therefore a color space has no meaning.

ETA: a better analogy is "plain text encoded": it's probably utf8, but it could be windows-1252, windows-1250, or who knows what else.

>With the specter of Russia looming so large, socialism terrified Americans more than anarchism did. “Over the next few years,” Hochschild writes, “people would blame Bolshevism for everything from strikes to anti-lynching protests to loosening sexual mores to untrimmed beards.” When the Boston police went on strike, the Wall Street Journal hysterically announced that “Lenin and Trotsky are on their way.” A Los Angeles Times editorial asked, “Has Bolshevik Russia presented any more alarming spectacle than this?” The cops did not mount a communist putsch. They just wanted pay raises, shorter shifts, and the same right to unionize that local firefighters enjoyed. Instead, the strike ushered in a more prosaic kind of disaster: with so few police officers on duty, looters smashed their way into stores, and criminals from other cities took trains to Boston to grab some loot of their own. Wilson lamented that Boston was “at the mercy of an army of thugs” and described the episode as “a crime against civilization.”

>In November 1919 and January 1920, with the Red Scare nearing its apogee, Palmer’s men rounded up thousands of suspected socialists, anarchists, and communists and threw them into makeshift prisons, where they awaited deportation. He singled out the Wobblies, of course, but also the Union of Russian Workers, often on the flimsiest evidence. In Detroit, for instance, agents interrogated every theatergoer watching a Russian-language play. No court ever convicted a single member of violence.

> Officials accused the pair of feeding feral cats near the courthouse, claiming it had resulted in thousands of dollars in property damage.

Can they prove it? I would love to see the evidence showing feral cats causing thousands of dollars worth of property damage near a courthouse as a direct result of the two women feeding them.

It makes a good video, you know? The cats finished their free meals provided by the two evil witch women, then they gears up all riot geared and start throwing molotov and grenades near the courthouse, counting dollars while doing so. I would totally watch it even if it's longer than 10 minutes.
Without DNSSEC this requires an attacker to 'global MITM' letsencrypt's DNS queries. That is a higher bar than before this change.

Before, an attacker only needed to 'global MITM' http requests. Your ISP could trivially do that. But your ISP couldn't just global MitM DNS queries for your domain unless you happen to use them as your registrar.

That is much harder than having an attacker use HTTP verification and global MITM the end user.
